Chapter 180 The Great Era of Magic Industry

"boom!"

A loud bang sounded inside the Chamber of Commerce.

Vickers broke open the door and rushed into the alchemy room of the Chamber of Commerce in a hurry.

"Thor, come and help me take a look. Is there something wrong with this thing?"

His voice was urgent, yet faintly excited, as if he was excited about seeing handfuls of gold coins.

"Vickers, how many times have I told you to knock before you come in? Do you want me to throw you in the trash can outside?"

The alchemist called Thor was an old human who was glaring at Vickers with a malicious look on his face.

What he hated most was people barging in while he was working, especially those dirty goblins who only cared about gold coins.

"No, no, listen to my explanation. I got a treasure and I think you will like it!" Vickers ran over excitedly.

"Baby? You'd better be telling the truth, or I wouldn't mind stuffing you into the toilet myself."

Thor's face was full of disdain. These despicable goblins would call anything that could be sold a treasure. They just wanted to trick him into giving away the alchemical potions and magic items that he had worked so hard to make.

He wanted to see what they were trying to trick him with this time.

"I'm telling you, what I got this time is a real treasure. You will be shocked when you see it."

As Vickers spoke, he activated the space ring and took out the blue crystal ball.

"Tsk, what haven't I seen? Don't think you can just pick out some garbage and..."

Before he could finish his words, Thor froze, his eyes fixed on the crystal ball in Vickers' hand.

Seeing his reaction, Vickers looked very proud.

"How is it? I didn't..."

Whoosh!
An afterimage flashed past.

When he reacted again, he found that his hands were empty, and Thor was standing aside, looking at the crystal ball in his hand in shock.

"It can't be wrong, it's really magic overlap! There are alchemy arrays and ice shield arrays overlapping, and there are ten of them overlapping, it's incredible!"

After saying that, he suddenly looked up at Vickers: "Where did you get this thing? This is simply a miracle in the history of alchemy!"

"Hey, you don't need to know this."

Vickers chuckled, revealing the shrewd smile unique to goblin merchants.

Thor, who had been dealing with him for so long, how could he not know what he was planning? He immediately frowned and said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do in order for you to give me this thing?"

"I just like dealing with smart people." Vickers rubbed his hands, a cunning flash in his eyes, "I need you to help me get the position of supervisor!"

"That's it?"

Thor's brow relaxed.

Originally, he didn't want to get involved in the troublesome things in the Chamber of Commerce and wanted to focus on studying alchemy.

But what Vickers took out was so important that any alchemist would go crazy after seeing it, including him.

After thinking for a while, Thor finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, I can help you, but the condition is that this thing must be left for me to study."

"make a deal!"

Vickers smiled.

With the support of the Chamber of Commerce's most authoritative alchemist, his chances of winning were much greater.

Next, he just needs to use those mushrooms to make some adjustments, and his position as supervisor will basically be a sure thing.

As a successful businessman, if he is not even sure of this, then there is no point in calling himself a treacherous and cunning goblin.

"correct."

Vickers looked at the crystal ball with a burning gaze: "Is this thing really so important to you?"

"What? You want to change your mind and sell it?" Thor guessed his dirty thoughts and said sternly, "I tell you, if you dare to take it, I will chop you into pieces and feed you to the Kodo!"

"Do you know what this thing means? Draw the alchemy array on the magic item, and there is this magic overlap. As long as I can crack the mystery, I can solve the problem of automatic charging of magic items!"

Thor is indeed a master alchemist. He discovered the unusualness of the crystal ball just by observing it with his naked eyes.

People without magic powers cannot use magic items, which has always been the most difficult problem that all alchemists want to solve.

After all, their original intention in creating alchemy was to allow those without magical talent to use magic, but they have been stuck because of this problem.

Once the problem of automatic charging is solved, Thor dare not imagine what a huge magic industry frenzy will be set off in the entire empire, no! The entire world!

Just imagine.

There is a carriage that can move forward automatically without the need for magic power, and a magic crane that can be used without the need for magical talent.

Even those props that require expensive magic crystals to activate can greatly reduce the cost so that ordinary people can use them.

What will that look like?
The more he thought about it, the more excited Thor became, and his entire hunched body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Could it be that the golden age of magic industry that countless alchemists have dreamed of will finally be realized in his hands?

“It’s actually so valuable?”

After listening to Thor's explanation, Vickers' shrewd eyes lit up.

Although he is a businessman, he understands the importance of magic overlap and automatic charging to alchemy.

If he can really figure it out, wouldn't he be able to make money just by lying down?

"Okay, okay, I'll give this to you first. Don't forget the agreement between us."

"Don't worry, I'm not like you goblins who don't keep your word."

Thor waved his hand and ignored him, instead studying the magic crystal ball in his hand.

After searching around, I finally found a thumb-sized bump on the top and bottom and pressed it down gently.

All of a sudden.

All magic circles are automatically activated.

With a humming sound, layers of ice shields appeared around him, wrapping him completely.

After counting carefully, there are exactly ten layers of shields.

"What a brilliant design! Why didn't I think of it before?"

Thor exclaimed in admiration, his eyes full of fanaticism.

He discovered that this crystal ball was, as he had guessed, automatically charged by the alchemy array on it.

In other words, as long as you are in a place with abundant magical elements, these shields can be maintained all the time, and even if they are broken, they can be repaired in a short time. It is simply a defensive artifact!
Although only a first-order ice shield was drawn, with the addition of the automatic recovery feature, its defensive strength is even comparable to third-order magic. This is the mystery of automatic charging!
"Go away, and don't disturb my research during this period. I am going to do something big that will shock the entire empire. By then, don't even bother being a supervisor. You can even open your own chamber of commerce!" "Really?"

For the time being, Vickers doesn't dare to think about opening his own chamber of commerce.

But since Thor has made such a boast, his position as supervisor is basically secure.

After throwing down a few words, he hurriedly left the alchemy room and went outside to take care of other things.

It didn't take long.

The news that there were flame mushrooms for sale in the Goblin Chamber of Commerce spread quickly in the surrounding area, attracting the attention of a large number of nobles and adventurers.

A major event that is about to sweep across the empires is also quietly brewing.

……

Dreamwood.

On the altar of the moon goddess.

After receiving the gilded powder, Rhodes had summoned all the elves who could cast wind magic and started the vigorous project of making cannons.

With enough materials to support him, he was able to move more freely.

After explaining the procedures that needed to be done to the elves, he asked Augla to help carry over a two-meter-high flame crystal, and smashed it onto the open space with a loud bang.

"Lord Rhodes, what do you want to do with such a large fire crystal?" Augula asked puzzledly.

There are only a few days left until the Black Moon. Shouldn't we build a few more hand cannons?

"You'll know in a few days."

Rhodes smiled mysteriously and didn't say much, because he himself was not sure that he could do it.

After sending Augla away, he walked around the flame crystal and began to polish it with pneumatic drill magic.

Gradually, a shape of an Armstrong cannon appeared on the open space.

It was not until the next afternoon that he finished drawing the densely packed magic patterns, and a magical glow lit up above the open space.

"It's done!"

Rhodes was overjoyed, looking at the red crystal cannon in front of him.

This magic cannon was originally just an idea of ​​his. It was based on the principle of the magic cannon and draw more and stronger overlapping magic arrays on the cannon to increase the power to the extreme.

The magic he chose this time was the second-level fireball spell that he had just asked Erin for, but he was not very proficient in drawing it.

fortunately.

The whole process went smoother than expected.

Finally it was produced before the black moon.

"Lord Rhodes, is this what you want to make?"

At this time, Augula passed by and was surprised.

It’s not that the cannon is so powerful, but its shape, which always looks a bit weird.

"Yes, this is the magic cannon I mentioned before. Take it with you when you go to the forest later. It should be enough for them to resist the black beast."

Rhodes had already made plans. After the Black Moon, when the threat of the black beasts was gone, he could start to expand his Dream City on a large scale.

By then, we should be able to attract more surviving races and continue to expand the scale of grain cultivation.

"Okay, I'll take him there now. It looks like the Black Moon will arrive in three days, so we need to hurry up and arrange the city defenses."

Augula picked up the cannon and walked out of the altar.

"Only three days?"

Rhodes murmured softly, but he was not too worried.

Seeing that it was getting dark, he turned back to the altar to rest and recover. It was a bit difficult for him to draw so many magic circles at once.

……

Silent all night.

For the next three days, everyone stayed at the altar and the forest and did not go out, making various preparations for the upcoming black moon.

A heavy atmosphere gradually spread over the entire black soil plain, and the air became tense.

Many people are secretly wondering whether the emerging city in the Death Forest can survive this Black Moon.

Even the small communities outside the plains received the news and were watching the situation here.

Because in order for a black soil city to survive, besides having enough land and food, it must also be able to resist the attacks of black beasts. Otherwise, going there would be a waste of life.

The reason why they hesitated and did not set off was because of this reason. After all, the fear brought to them by the black moon was too great.

"Everyone listen up, start forming a defense line!"

At this time, inside the Death Forest.

As night approaches, the black soil becomes increasingly restless.

Augla and his men also began to reorganize their manpower and set up defenses around the planting area they had cultivated.

The residents held crystal magic cannons in their hands, divided into small groups of three or four, and looked outside with extreme nervousness.

It was unlike any defense before.

This time they had only more than 700 people, and were surrounded by enemies, so they had no time to build city walls.

The defense line is too long. Once there are too many black beasts, it will be difficult to hold on.

By then, wouldn’t all their efforts for nearly half a month be in vain?
"Is it really okay to send just that few people in that direction?"

At the front of the team, Brent pointed in the direction of the Holy Mountain of Elements and asked.

You have to know that there are elemental black beasts everywhere over there. If they go crazy and rush towards this side, the people sent over there may not even be enough to fill the gaps in their teeth.

"Don't worry, that direction is the safest."

The Ranger Captain looked calm and composed.

joke.

The entire dragon clan is entrenched there, and there are countless fifth and sixth level dragons.

Even if a seventh-level black beast rushed over, it might not be able to gain any benefit.
