Chapter 797 - Another Fight (1/2)
While Mystra and Sophie were both trying their best to find Roland, Roland had dug a pit in a forest in Aipinte and begun to manufacture standard equipment. Roland had chosen the two kinds of equipment after much deliberation.
Long spears and leather armor were common military equipment. They could be mass-purchased on the market.
Transportation was a major problem to ordinary people, but for a Mage on Roland’s level, it couldn’t be simpler.
He kept the equipment in Mystra’s Mansion and shipped it with space jumps. Although it could be costly, speed was what really mattered at this moment.
Although teleportation arrays between big cities had been established, they could only teleport humans and light luggage, not massive objects.
Also, the teleportation arrays could only be used once every two hours.
There were a lot of restrictions.
For that reason, merchants and caravans hadn’t been out of work.
Roland acquired a thousand and a hundred sets of equipment and placed them in the underground cave. He then established four production lines and created multiple puppet angels with magic power.
Some of the puppets would put the equipment on a magic array that had been deployed in advance. Then, another puppet would put magic materials on it.
The magic array combined the materials with the equipment. Then, the first piece of equipment would be enchanted. After that, the puppets would move the equipment to the second magic array, where the puppets that waited there would put the materials needed for the second enchantment on it.
After a crack, the job was done again.
When the effects were printed on the equipment, the equipment would be stacked in a specific area.
After that, one piece of enchanted equipment was completed.
It would only take about ten minutes to finish.
If Roland were to do the job by himself, it would’ve taken him a lot of time to run the magic materials back and forth.
Also, he might get tired if he did the same thing again and again, so he would need a rest.
By conservation estimate, it would’ve taken Roland at least fifteen days to make a thousand and a hundred sets of magic equipment.
However, he had finished the work in three days with the production lines. It was much more efficient.
On the fourth day, the Northern Lion Lord took a deep breath when he looked at the freshly-made magic equipment.
A general touched the magic equipment as if it were a pretty lady and counted the number.
A moment later, he said to the Northern Lion Lord, “My lord, the number matches up. There are a thousand and a hundred sets.” Hearing that, the Northern Lion Lord gave a qualification certificate to Roland without hesitation. “We have a deal… All the hard rock mines in my dominion will be yours.”
Roland accepted the certificate and thanked him with a smile. Then he left.
“What a terrifying Mage! Where is he from?”
A young man said, “Father, this Mage seemed to be good at making magic equipment. If he makes equipment for others, wouldn’t we lose our edge? Should we restrain him?” “Have you lost your mind?” The Northern Lion Lord burst into rage. “He is one of the Mages, who are best known for their wisdom. Do you think he doesn’t know we might be malicious? He certainly does, but he’s not scared. What does that mean?”
The young man got embarrassed and fell silent.
After acquiring the certificate, Roland returned to the cave and began to make magic power bricks.
The real World of Falan had a much higher magic power density that the one in the game did. When a dozen production lines were put to use at the same time, Roland rebuilt the Magic Grid Core of the floating city in half a month.
He also increased its magic power capacity to the limit.
Then, instead of raising the Magic Grid Core in a hurry, he secretly melted the hard rocks, mixed them with the mud, and turned them back into rocks.
The pure hard rocks were hard but not flexible enough. But if they were broken, mixed with mud, and then remade into bricks, they would make Green Bricks, the finest construction materials.
They would be both hard and flexible, and more or less resistant to magic.
A twenty-centimeter-thick wall of Green Bricks could withstand the full-strength strike of an Elite Mage.
But it wasn’t too useful against high-level Mages, who were mostly capable of Stone to Mud.
The low magic resistance of the Green Bricks meant nothing to the high-level Mages.
However, quantitative changes would lead to qualitative changes.
A twenty-meter-thick wall of Green Bricks could make high-level Mages feel it was too much.
If the wall was ten meters thick, most Mages would simply retreat.
A Green Brick wall a hundred meters thick would make Legendary Mages shed tears.
What could a fifteen-kilometer-thick wall of Green Bricks do?
Roland didn’t know… But he felt that he was confident enough to confront the Life Goddess.
Then, Roland fused the Green Bricks in the pit.
He used the production lines again. A lot of hard rocks were delivered to him and then carried to the lines by the puppets.
The hard rocks were mixed with the mud and then directed to the molds that had been prepared in advance. After that, they were transformed into Green Bricks that were absolutely identical.
After that, the other puppets took the bricks out and stacked them on the other side.
Because a lot of soil was used for the combination, the cave got more and more spacious.
The hard rock mines around the cave vanished one after another.
About twenty days later, Roland finally prepared a one-kilometer-thick rock shell.
He then placed it on the Magic Grid Core.
Roland smashed a blue fireball three meters in diameter on the shell. Then, Green Bricks about thirty meters thick fell down.
“It’s indeed hard.”
After repairing the damaged parts, Roland ran to the top of the floating city and connected it to the core.
The great magic power was imposed on Roland’s body again.
The rocks above his head dispersed, and the floating city gradually floated higher.
The moment the floating city emerged, a pair of eyes that were full of hate were fixed on it.
Then, the other gods and goddesses focused their eyes on it too.
Back in the Astral Plane, most gods and goddesses couldn’t detect the floating city even if it had shown up because the place was too spacious. However, the main plane was different. Almost all the gods and goddesses kept an eye on it, so they all noticed the appearance of Roland’s floating city.
Roland had faced this situation before, so he wasn’t anxious at all. He controlled the magic power of the floating city to mix the hard rocks and soil and attract it to the floating city.
However, before the first waved of mud was stuck to the floating city, countless green spears of light had fallen.
Each of those spears was almost four meters in diameter and more than ten meters long.
A dense array of light spears fell like a green storm.
All the gods and goddesses were shocked.
At the same time, two roars came from the sky.
“Bi* ch, how are you…”
“Stop!”
Roland could tell from the voices that they were Mystra and Sophie.
Roland flashed below the floating city, using the floating city as a shield.
Countless light spears descended. Each of them pierced a hundred meters into the Green Bricks.
But that was it.
Because the deities were weakened in the main plane, even the light spears of the Life Goddess couldn’t penetrate the one-kilometer-thick Green Bricks.
