Chapter 84: The Source of Wealth
The rock wood is almost endless in the green forest plane, and it does not cost much to transport it to Norland. Star pupa can transport thousands of tons of rock wood to Norland at one time. Richard asked in detail about the use of the combustion aid agent and learned that if more doses are used, the rock wood can burn faster. This is actually of military significance. Soldiers usually only need to burn for one night, and there is no need to burn the rock wood for a whole day.
"There is something even more amazing." The gray dwarf said anxiously, "The rock wood actually contains a lot of energy. If it is completely crushed, add a combustion aid, and mix a certain amount of goblin fuel and more than a dozen other things, it may be possible to create something that can produce violent explosions. It may be three times higher than the existing dwarf gunpowder, or five times higher. This is what the old elf said. I think he is almost crazy."
"Three to five times stronger than dwarf gunpowder?" Richard was stunned and began to quickly calculate what this meant.
The gray dwarf was still chattering: "I am very worried now that the old guy will make a loud bang in the laboratory and then send himself back to the arms of the World Tree. This thing sounds a bit dangerous, but the old guy might want to use this to get more research funds. He actually wants 300,000 gold coins. I think he is no longer an elf, but he is about to become a gray dwarf."
At this time, Richard had already outlined what he could do under the new gunpowder. Although it was just a rough blueprint, it had already made him breathe a little rapid, and he immediately said: "Give him 500,000."
"Five hundred thousand, I see that 300 thousand is a false report."
"It's only half a million, but you have to hurry up. Tell him that I don't have that much patience."
The gray dwarf muttered in disappointment: "This lucky old thing."
Seeing that there was nothing else, Richard cut off the communication. At this time, his troops had gathered in the Black Rose Castle through long-range teleportation. The vanguard began to enter the Green Form. Before heading to the Green Form, Richard considered it and decided to go and offer sacrifices. This time, Richard prepared two high-level sacrifices and several low-level sacrifices. The sacrifice process was very smooth. Perhaps because Eternal and the Dragon of Time felt that it was too difficult for Richard to make things difficult for the front, it seemed a little looser this time. Richard successfully obtained the required plane channel enhancement, and it was three times.
Standing in front of the altar, Richard was a little difficult to make a decision in the face of these three plane channel reinforcements. Normally, the three plane reinforcements should be released to Faro, because it is Richard's foundation and the mother nest is also in Faro. A strong plane channel means that the cost of large-scale mobilization of troops is greatly reduced. This is a real strategic investment. However, Faro has already had a doomsday mark, which means that the plane has entered the path of destruction. At this time, any investment in Faro may be unwise.
Richard hesitated for a long time, and suddenly gritted his teeth and gave all the three-plane channel enhancement to Faro. He wanted to see what was going to destroy Faro, at least ten years left, and ten years were enough to produce miracles.
Finally, there was a low-level sacrifice left. When Richard placed it on the altar, he saw that it was broken down by the power of time, and countless magnificent time sands fell in the void. These time sands would form Richard's divine gift. Just as the time sands condensed together and had outlined the shape of a weapon, Richard's soul suddenly moved, and a little time power hidden inside shot out a ray of light, which instantly smashed the formed weapon and restored it to time sand. The time sands flew in the air for a moment, and finally gathered into a torrent, shot on the back of Richard's hand, imprinting a mark of a time hourglass.
A new message came into Richard's consciousness:
God's gift: The lighthouse of the soul.
Unlike the previous God-given, the soul lighthouse is actually a capability. This capability allows Richard to mark the soul of an enemy. As long as both sides are on the same side, Richard can sense his position. This is an unparalleled tracking ability. Although it can only be used once, it is enough to surprise Richard.
However, the sacrifice process was a bit strange. Richard was obviously ready to get a useless quasi-legendary item, but he didn't expect Shisha to be suddenly dispersed and replaced with this extremely powerful one-time ability. At this moment, a new message came. It turned out that this was a ability attached to Richard's title plane walker: fate interference.
Interference in fate can occasionally change the divine gifts obtained from sacrifices to make them more in line with Richard's needs. When it works, no matter what kind of divine gifts Richard gets, it will become a higher level of divine gift. Even if this is what Richard wants most at present, it can be improved again. Therefore, the additional explanation after interfering in fate is as follows: There is no best, only better, this is the privilege of the title person.
Even without the final explanation, Richard knew the power of fate interference. He looked at the symbol mark on the back of his hand and thought of countless uses in an instant, such as the Soul Positioning World Tree through the Soul Son of the Forest, such as chasing the only troubled dragon star in the Xiulan plane, and chasing the Xushen... If the ability of the Soul Lighthouse is promoted again, if it can cross the obstacles of the plane, can it be used to find the flowing sand?
Richard stroked the mark on the back of his hand and felt very moved. He had sacrificed too many times and was already quite familiar with the modes of Eternity and Dragon of Time. This was actually a temptation, which tempted him to speed up the promotion of his title, that is, to make more sacrifices. At this time, Richard couldn't help but think of the attitudes of many powerful people towards the Dragon of Eternity and Dragon of Time, as well as his warnings to himself.
He suddenly smiled bitterly, and for nothing else, he found that he was in the stage of extreme desire for power and had no capital to bargain. The fastest way to increase his power was to sacrifice.
Richard calmed down and walked out of the hall of sacrifice. Nolan was already waiting at the door. Looking at her expression, she knew that she was in a very good mood now. Not only did she get the divine grace from Richard, but Richard finally fulfilled her promise and made a fourth-level structure for Nolan: divine power, which is a fairly standard and can greatly improve the effect and duration of the magic technique. However, this is another very powerful structure. The core lies in the modifier of the large scale. For great priests like Nolan, high-level magic techniques are extremely powerful. If there is an increase, the power can naturally be imagined.
Nolan accompanied Richard all the way until he sent him out of the Eternal Dragon Hall, and then found some time and whispered: "What you want is almost ready, and you have almost taken out everything I can find. This is a total of five thousand sets of equipment. Are you really sure there are so many high-level knights?"
Richard replied with a smile: "My knight, endless."
This is a famous saying left by Charles the Great, the founding emperor of the Holy Alliance, before he expeditioned to the abyss. When millions of troops entered the abyss, they were indeed endless at first glance.
Nolan initially thought Richard was joking, but looking at Richard's back as he was leaving, for some reason, she suddenly felt that Richard was probably serious when he said that.
Richard didn't know what Nolan was thinking. When he stepped into the portal leading to the Green Forest plane, he was far from reaching the endless level of the knights. However, he brought a whole hundred cavalry of the construction knights, plus four hundred cavalrymen. This power could never be ignored. More importantly, Richard also brought the clone of the mother this time, which was the killer move against the infinite forest of the Green Forest.
Neris and Agamemnon had arrived in Greensen in advance. After relocating the defense line at the forward base, they went to the Life Tree Base. Their task was to guard the Life Tree, and to practice on the Life Tree, the speed was more than half faster than usual.
After Richard walked out of the portal, he went to the side and gave up the position in front of the portal. The soldiers guarding the portal had already received the order and shouted loudly to clear the area in front of the portal. The next thing was a big guy.
There was a rippling ripples on the portal, and a deep black conical head was poked out from it. Then the star pupa was like a giant snake, slowly swimming out of the portal. On both sides of its body, two rows of deep black shadow drills can be seen inlaid, which is the source of power for the evolution and growth of the star pupa.
When all the star pupas swam out of the portal, they were already a giant beast with a diameter of several meters and a length of more than fifty meters.
Although we know that the Star Puppet has no combat power, the soldiers at the base will be deeply shocked every time they see it, which is a huge deterrent.
Richard called the head of the forward base, briefly explained the necessary matters, and left the base city with his followers and star pupa and walked into the vast forest. Only when the forest will exist can the mother clone be incubated, so that the mother clone can appear in this plane in the most appropriate posture, eliminating the trouble of changing the form when upgrading in the future.
When Richard was running around, the Green Forest Plant had passed several years. The population in the base city had already reached tens of thousands, and the tree of life had grown to the peak before the promotion. The cutting was always going on and it was effective. The result was that the forest sea was constantly opened up, and the forest will was forced to retreat accordingly. Now it was more than 200 kilometers away from the base city that the forest will emerge. More than a dozen piles of wood have been opened in the outskirts of the base city, and millions of rocks and wood were piled up, which were not too late to burn or transported out of the plane.
Richard brought a ton of combustion aid agent this time, enough to handle more than 1,000 tons of rock and wood, but compared with the rock and wood that are urgently needed, it is just like a small stone in the mountains. The forests on the entire plane are even more endless, and I don’t know when to cut it to the end.
On the way to find the will of the forest, the voice of the tree of life suddenly rang in Richard's consciousness: "Great Master, you are finally back."
The sound of the Tree of Life seemed extremely excited, so excited that it was like a goblin that could never stop, and it was no longer like a tree.
