Chapter 749 (2/2)
But before she could speak, Loren poured a basin of cold water.
”Why not?!”
”There are many reasons. The most important thing is the cost.” Lauren frowned. ”The cost of making this one is close to 30 bottles of kindling agent, and the power is less than one thirtieth of what I just did, not even the level of low-level magic spell!”
This is also Loren's biggest headache... The technology of applying magic spells to real objects appeared in eboden a few years ago, but it still hasn't been popularized. There are only a lot of low-quality luxury goods.
Due to the rare situation of high-level casters in the wizard world for many years, and their social status almost reduced to ”juggling” in the Empire, the nine pointed star wizard tower also has little power to promote technological innovation, so he and Ayn can only explore alone.
Obviously, there are only two of them, and the efficiency is definitely not comparable to the wizard tower with a complete research system.
In this world, all the things forcibly put together before overcoming the technical difficulties can only be inefficient ”freaks” - and technologies like this ”magic scroll” level can no longer be developed by one or several wizards.
Genius, such as the alchemist of Ayn Rand, may be able to greatly improve the existing technology; But to rely on her to complete the peak product of a new system... It was a feat that even Isaac could not complete.
Loren's initial goal was to arm his ”Duke guard” with this kind of thing, so that they could have weapons that could quickly kill monsters without training spell casters on a large scale.
But now the power of this ”scroll” is not as powerful as a bottle of kindling agent... The solution proposed by the small wizard is to directly seal runes on the body of the guard soldiers and ”transform” part of their body by using the principle of magic wand.
But this kind of action is extremely risky, and a moment's difference will turn the soldiers into monsters distorted by the void; Not to mention that the church will never tolerate this ”devil's behavior”. Without the assistance of academic wizard organizations such as wizard tower, the success rate is also very low.
Can I really only do this? Either tolerate up to one tenth of the death rate, or set up a college specialized in training ”combat casters” to train demon hunters who are better at frontal combat than night watchmen?
Er... The ”legendary” demon hunter in my impression seems to have been trained from the college; So there seems to be nothing wrong with doing so.
What should the college be called then?
Wolf college? Kyle Mohan?
While Loren was full of thoughts, the curious Sally card took the scroll and weighed it in her hand: ”I said... Can you get me a few dozen of this thing?”
”How many dozen?” Loren Qiang again resisted the urge to roll his eyes: ”the one in your hand is the only successful one so far - I won't get the second one until I find a solution completely!”
”Cut, look at your stingy appearance, or Duke Byrne!”
Although she said so, when she heard the price, Sarika couldn't help sticking out her tongue - Boye was never a particularly rich principality. Only Byrne could support a wizard association based on the trade balance of each territory.
”Duke, this is information from Archduke Laszlo Varna.”
With the coming figure, Eckert's serious voice interrupted the two who were still noisy, and the unconvinced Sally card secretly took the opportunity to hide the scroll in her arms.
”Two days ago, Archduke Varna's army had officially entered daboi's territory, and 100000 Hussars had completely swept several main grasslands and marched all the way East.” Eckert said in a deep voice:
”The Archduke also ordered someone to send a letter. Please take this opportunity to intercept the supply line of the Centaur army as soon as possible and create conditions to force the Centaur to fight a decisive battle with him.”
”Request... Is almost an order?” Lauren shook his head and smiled with some helplessness. He didn't think the other party would miss the opportunity to order himself:
”But thank him... 100000 Hussars attracted all the attention, forcing the Centaurs to assemble a large army, so that we can settle down in the desert.”
”No, it's not,” said Eckert suddenly.
”Huh?”
”In the process of sweeping the grassland, Archduke Varna's army didn't find any sign of Centaur assembly, even... Even a wandering Centaur warrior didn't notice it. They said it was like the world evaporated.”
”What are you talking about?!”
