Chapter 69: Gathering the Fleece of the Sunwell
Several mages worked together to use their mage hands to move the huge demigod-level arcane puppet to the ship.
This half-god-level arcane puppet that has not yet been activated looks very big.
In fact, its weight will not be much more than the Arcane Scavenger, at most the weight of a medium tank.
Obsidian is just a stone after all, and its density is incomparable to that of normal metals.
Only the heavy enchanted Thorium armor, a costly magical creation, is qualified to be called the King of the Land.
The ships of the high elves are also powered by sails.
But it is different from human ships with layers of sails.
This high elf ship has only one sail shaped like a bird's wing.
When the bird-wing-shaped sail is not in use, it can be folded in layers like a folding fan.
When setting sail, the sails can be quickly deployed, and then driven by the strong wind summoned by the mage, it can quickly move towards the distance.
The sail-powered ship boosted by the mage sails very fast and can reach a speed of about fifteen knots.
It's just that when used, it's a bit embarrassing for the mage.
A mage with a noble status is actually used to blow wind on the ship!
But before steam-powered ships became commonplace, spellcasters had to do this kind of thing.
The mage-powered sailboat, which was faster with the wind and not slower with the headwind, arrived at the island dock outside Yangfan Port with full sail.
At this time, the huge Sea King Power just arrived here.
Seeing the high elven ship sailing quickly with a single sail, the tidesages of the Sea King were very envious.
They are variants of shamans, but they are only good at summoning the power of the water element and do not have the talent to contact the three elements of earth, fire and wind.
Although it can also help sailing by reducing water resistance, compared with the mage summoning strong winds to push the sails hard, the difference between the two is not even a little bit!
Having withstood the invisible blow from the mages, the Tide Sages became even more eager to install steam power.
The Sea King Power arrived at the dock and was towed into the dock for modification.
It will be transformed into an ironclad ship with real combat effectiveness after removing a large number of redundant parts.
Looking at the pinnacle of the sailing battleship entering the dock, Herard seemed to see a golden mountain waving to him.
Sail warships are very backward, but their cost is not cheap!
Prices for quality shipbuilding lumber are there.
The cost of building the Sea King Power is likely to exceed one million gold coins.
Other battleships will be much cheaper.
Herard guessed that it would not exceed 200,000 gold coins.
However, the Kul Tiras fleet numbered more than five hundred warships.
The construction and maintenance costs can be scary!
It is estimated that half of the entire kingdom's economic income is spent on the fleet.
Even though the whole country is working hard to maintain the fleet, the financial resources of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras are not worth mentioning.
The income from maritime trade is so amazing!
The greater the wealth of Kul Tiras, the more satisfied Harad became.
Because in the next long period of time, the Kul Tiras fleet, which needs to be replaced, will become one of his big customers.
Another big customer is a demigod-level arcane puppet that is being hoisted onto a flatbed truck to be transported to the foundry.
The fee charged for building and installing enchanted Thorium armor for this big guy is also not low.
Since the enchanted Thorium armor had not yet been completed, the delivery mage discussed going to Yangfan Port for consumption after doing the handover work.
Yangfan Port, which has always been prosperous in trade, has the most complete range of commodities and entertainment industries in mainland China in recent years, stimulated by the arms business.
Even mages are keen to go there and purchase rare materials.
Rommath, who followed these mages, patted Herad on the shoulder.
"You did a great job this time! The council is discussing rewarding you with a treasure."
As he spoke, Romans observed Herad's eyes and found that his pupils were turning purple.
This is caused by the concentration of arcane energy and is also a precursor to promotion to Archmage.
Romans nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, your cultivation speed is pretty good. It's actually a little faster than when I was young!
You have to keep working hard. Only strength is the foundation of everything!"
After praising and encouraging Herard, Romans left the island by boat with satisfaction. .
He was not curious about Herad being so keen on practicing.
Although the high elves are generally free and loose, there are also many cultivators.
Several great magisters are cultivators.
Those dozens of magisters are also very diligent types. Other professions also have such cultivators.
Although there are not many in number, they are all quite powerful ruthless characters!
These elites will become the mainstay of the High Elf Kingdom, and will be given powerful magical weapons comparable to artifacts.
Romans rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.
"Perhaps we can get a treasure from the king's treasury in advance."
Several mages who were thinking of going to Yangfan Port were very excited to hear about the king's treasury.
Any treasure you take out from there is equivalent to a divine weapon!
Thinking that the treasure was destined to have nothing to do with them, the mages were immediately discouraged.
Soon they were discussing what they wanted to buy and which pub they wanted to drink in.
Romance could only give a helpless smile to these fun-loving mages.
These guys are hopeless.
However, Herard, who Romans had high hopes for, was doing something treacherous at the moment.
No high elf would dare to attack the Sunwell.
But Harad is different from other high elves.
In his mind, the Sunwell is a powerful source of energy.
A powerful energy source that can be properly utilized is the best in this world!
The semi-god-level arcane puppets that were sent into the warehouse were opened by him in a familiar way, and the energy chambers were opened, and then each rune bottle sucked a little well water.
The standard capacity of rune bottles is one liter, and the scales are marked on them.
King Anasteria doesn't care about this when he's filling water bottles.
He basically doesn't stop until he fills the bottle.
Then Herald took advantage of the excess.
Looking at the rune bottles with neat water levels, he closed the energy capsule with satisfaction.
The wool collected from each rune bottle is not much, just above the standard line.
However, two hundred bottles came down and he filled ten rune bottles.
The wool harvesting plan, which had been planned for several years, succeeded smoothly the first time. Herard felt a little floaty even when he walked.
The minds of the high elves are so simple that they are almost defenseless.
After all, who would have thought that an inventor would do such a thing?
Horad made a small energy capsule, put the rune bottle of well water in it, and then filled it with his arcane scavenger.
All three Arcane Scavengers have been upgraded.
They all wore thick thorium armor and held long-handled swords inlaid with enchanted thorium blades.
Their appearance is similar to the light-forged war mechs of the Holy Light Alliance.
Only the gorgeous raised shoulder armor of Zhang Yang has been modified, making the overall look smoother.
The domineering energy cannon on his left hand was changed by Herard to fire energy bombs from his palm.
This kind of launch method is more concealed and can catch the opponent off guard.
And the intact left hand can be used for melee attacks.
You can also pinch the enemy's head and shoot him in the face.
The armor of the Arcane Scavenger is made of thorium, the color is transparent blue-green, and the appearance looks relatively low-key.
The shining golden armor of the light-forged war mecha makes it easier for the enemy to focus fire on the battlefield.
Excluding the difference in energy attributes used, this is a flightless light-forged war mech.
There is nothing you can do about not being able to fly.
The Holy Light Alliance has Naaru, a demigod or even true god-level Holy Light creature.
They are the spokespersons of the Holy Light, and the divine energy can be used however they want.
The water from the Sunwell is not brought by strong winds.
Herard was not qualified to waste energy like this.
