Chapter 232 Chapter 714 The Lengthy Process

Chapter 232 Chapter 7.14 Lengthy process

As an employee with a lot of experience in slacking off.

Wei Keng knows that sometimes the process is more important than the result.

First, he used group teleportation to send his apprentices back to Xiange's magic workshop.

As for the workshop, Wei Keng had already applied "Permanent Phantom" to manage it remotely.

[Illusion system, five-ring spell, can be run according to your own script. Including dialogue. ]

After arranging everything at home properly, Master Carret went to the mercenary camp outside the swamp area of ​​the Imperial Capital's Mud Lake-continued the "process" of returning to the north.

In other words, Carret sent the young mechanic apprentices back, and ran to the vicinity of the royal capital alone, preparing to complete the "walking return" alone.

Carret: The king didn't let me in, I had to walk all the way back like this to let everyone know.

Wei Keng complained: "The company's assessment of my ability is often not whether I can come up with a plan in an afternoon, but how many overtime I work on the plan. Well, the bosses look at the work attitude of young people."

~

The mercenary base in Egg Swamp gathers a large number of people who make a living. Of course, there are also good and bad people. The perennial program in the tavern is that the old mercenaries blow the slang, then trick the newcomers into drinking, and then pretend to be drunk after drinking.

Many times, some bankrupt farmers carry two axes and become warriors. And some magicians, under long earthen robes, use ceramic pots to prepare acid mist bombs and flash bombs, and can call themselves casters. And some thieves really become thieves.

Today in the wooden house, the idle mercenaries are waiting for the surrounding caravans to issue tasks as usual. ——The most common task at the foot of the imperial capital is to lead the way. Oh, if you want to go to the swamp to find trouble with the corpse crocodile, you have to find the big brother in the group.

Today, in the hall, where a group of old-timers hang out, there came a man who was obviously a noble young master.

He had pure light brown hair, wore a dark indigo suit, and a light-colored robe with mechanical gears and crankshafts embroidered on it.

Several thieves' eyes lit up, and they wanted to come forward to give this young master a good tour.

But as the young master's hand flashed, dozens of flashing sources appeared in the dim wooden hall, illuminating the surroundings, and the thieves paused and retreated.

This light spell was a symbol of a regular spellcaster for everyone in the tavern soaked in the sour smell.

~

After Wei Keng scanned the circle, because he was proficient in the arcane of legend, an introduction pop-up window appeared above everyone's head in his perspective.

Carret sat down at the table of a drunken warrior and took out three gold coins.

The warrior's eyes lit up, and he suddenly reached out to grab the gold coins on the table. This agile movement did not show that he was drunk.

But when his hand touched the gold coin, it disappeared.

In short, this is just a projection, a projection that simulates the sound and vibration of the tabletop touch, a small illusion.

The warrior looked up at Wei Keng.

Wei Keng: "I don't need these gold coins, but I don't like people to take my things, even if it's one or two copper coins." At this point, Wei Keng threw out ten copper coins. Ask the waiter here to bring another pot of wine.

However, the warrior said to the waiter: "Keep it, wait for me to drink it next time." However, Carrett threw out another ten copper coins, "These ten are for him to drink next time," and asked the waiter to put the pot on his side.

Jia Mingbo: "Where to go?" He was a little dissatisfied, watching the young master put the wine on his side alone. But then he saw that the young master seemed to be performing a unique cocktail operation on the wine, and he couldn't help but look forward to it.

Wei Keng: "Soman leader." While talking, Wei Keng looked at the magic of selecting molecules in the wine glass. After removing the excess bitterness and impurities, the mellow wine took out a small bottle from the space crack, dripped a small bottle of malt liquid, and released a fragrant sweetness.

Jia Mingbo: "Caravan escort?" He smelled the heart-penetrating smell of the suspended wine controlled by Wei Keng's white wrist and licked his lips.

Wei Keng: "I'm alone." After filtering the wine, Master Wei began to pressurize carbon dioxide. This was the carbon dioxide collected from the vibrant trees at dawn yesterday, bringing the intoxication of the sleeping plants.

Jia Mingbo: "You go to that place, just find someone to lead the way, just follow the main road and you will get there."

Wei Keng: "Yes, just follow the main road." Put a glass of wine into the glass bottle and start frost magic to chill it.

The warrior looked at Wei Keng, frowned and asked: "If there are additional risks in this mission, please tell me in detail." But his eyes did not leave the action of mixing the cocktail.

Wei Keng lowered his head and thought for a while: "Well, there is no extra risk. I am just walking alone. I feel a little anxious. I will find more people to accompany me." He looked at the time and started counting down.

Warrior: "5 gold coins. If there is an accident on the way, I need to pay extra money."

Wei Keng: "I will only pay extra money if there are serious injuries and disabilities. For minor injuries that can be repaired, I will only provide potions." After saying that, he handed the bottle of iced beer to the warrior.

The wine glutton drank it all in one gulp, and the cool feeling made his whole body shake. The dizziness caused by the hangover was eliminated at once.

Jia Mingbo was reluctant to even burp. He said nostalgically: "The craftsmanship of the Natural Elf Wine House."

Wei Keng learned this bartending skill from the system. It was the drink pairing that he studied when studying barbecue cooking to prevent getting angry.

~

Just like that, the next day

The warrior called the other four people to form a team. The team composition was very standard, a thief responsible for reconnaissance, an archer, a doctor (mastering the technology of using herbal medicine for medical treatment), and a bard. Well, it was probably this profession. He did not have the ability to chant and cast spells. He was just a young man with very good eloquence, suitable for opening up the joints of nearby territories.

So, five days after the city gate was blocked, Wei Keng and his group set off.

To the surprise of everyone in the team, the road was very quiet, there were no ambushes, and even a few thieves were not seen. The thieves who met looked at this standard adventurer team and walked around. This journey looked like a picnic.

And the employer (Wei Keng) was very generous. When passing through the town, the food and tents purchased were the best.

The only quirk was to require more camping.

~

While camping, Wei Keng was sketching a landscape painting.

This is what normal people see, but in fact, this is communicating with the etheric world.

The etheric world, or the spiritual world, is a thin membrane of the material world in terms of arcane theory. From the perspective of Wei Keng, a traverser of the earth, this is an information layer that stores a large amount of matter and energy in this quantum entangled world.

Wei Keng discovered through surveying that the difficulty of opening the etheric world in different areas of the main material world is different.

For example, in places like cities, the corresponding etheric world will have complex stratification, some levels have light, some are dark, some are obviously cold, and some are hot. At different levels, there will be different ghost creatures, as well as the quiet places where the glorious souls are, which are like the ghost world corresponding to the main material world.

In the wilderness, the etheric world is peaceful, but there are also various ghost creatures, such as the most common dangerous creature, the ghost wolf, which exists in large numbers, projected into reality, and launches raids under the cover of night. Compared with the ghost wolf pack, the evil ghosts produced by the homicide in the house in the city are a dish.

~

According to the information provided by the system, in some ancient battlefields, due to the large number of deaths that occurred hundreds or thousands of years ago, a huge amount of information has been accumulated, connecting the etheric world and the main material world.

At night, the shadow creatures in the etheric world will enter and exit the main material world, and attack travelers who have no choice but to pass by here.

Of course, if there is an unresolved mental event in the city, the main material of a certain human settlement will be reflected in the etheric world (haunted house).

~

The etheric world is the foundation of the spell system.

The lightning and fire shot by the energy system can also be summoned by the spell system.

Of course, relatively speaking, the spell system directly summons the quantum information of the etheric world, and the magic energy summoned is spiritual.

The low-level spell contract spirit is very ordinary. And the high-level spells, without exception, are all contracts with powerful creatures through the medium of the etheric world.

Those flying dragons summoned by the spell system above the seventh ring are not real bodies, but the information projections stored by those powerful creatures in the etheric world. These powerful creatures fulfill their contracts with the spellcasters through these stored information.

And the various information transmissions in the etheric world are easier than those in the main material world. What does this mean?

Now the places where the main industrial areas have started to operate are also sending information to the etheric world due to the energy tunneling effect, such as the heat in the steelmaking furnace and the electricity of the electrolytic furnace.

On the third day of the trip, Wei Keng camped in a small village, took out a small stick engraved with spells, pressed his fingers on the stick, and a gentle electric light spread out on the stick.

The spell on this stick is synchronized with the spell engraved on the electrolytic furnace hundreds of kilometers away. The spells in the two places allow the spirit to cross the space.

Wei Keng muttered to himself, actually asking the system: "In fact, it can be developed across space, right?"

System: "Energy and standards can be projected across space."

~

~

~

For any good thing, Wei Keng will think of the dark side.

The etheric world is a projection of the main material world. The complexity of the main material world will project complex influences on the etheric world. For example, the complexity of cities will allow various negative information to reside.

The large-scale complexity of industry and the systematic breakthrough of technology. Will it bring unpredictable influences to the etheric world?

Development and collapse are two directions of all forms.

The higher the development, the more terrible the collapse. In short, inorganic substances such as sand will not rot, but organic substances will collapse into various substances.

Wei Keng: "If I take a step forward, what will it look like to go back?"

~

~

After arriving at the Soman territory.

Wei Keng parted ways with the adventure team and finally paid them fifteen gold coins. Of course, before parting, he asked them to do him a favor and find another small adventure team in the local area to help him reach the next territory.

The man with rosacea realized that this was really a young master. He hired several people on the road to the north, and he could walk faster, but he took a leisurely walk and spent extra money to hire. This was really a prodigal son.

Of course, on the surface, he still found local friends he knew and trusted, introduced this not-so-big-ticket and easy task to them, and explained the daily life of this "young wizard".

~

As Wei Keng walked northward, the lords of various regions soon discovered Carret's trail.

Who wouldn't notice him walking so slowly and ostentatiously?

Of course, no lord would take the initiative to find Carret. It's not good to be involved in the trouble of the royal family. At most, they would just whisper something.

That was enough. The gossip between these nobles finally reached the ears of the royal family within half a month. At this time, Wei Keng had already walked more than half of the way north.

This journey home was more than half completed.

Almost, the farce of the Xingche royal family, which many lords liked to see, was also more than half performed.

~

August 22. When the storm was about to fall, in Runyu City, a team of kingdom mages finally blocked Prince Carret who was wandering outside at the mercenary mission center.

The leading kingdom mage, after seeing Carret, performed a standard mage ceremony and invited Carret to visit the great mage Suojia in the imperial capital.

Carrett calmly accepted their invitation and took out a spell gem. The gem jumped continuously in the space, sparking and lightning all the way. After a crackling bounce, it broke the anti-space teleportation restriction they set up.

These mages' faces suddenly changed, and they couldn't help but feel pain. This anti-space teleportation restriction was not cheap, but it was destroyed by this royal prodigal.

Soldiers against soldiers, courtesy against courtesy.

Carrett also made a mage invitation gift, inviting them to sit in his own arcane territory first.

This place is about a hundred miles away from the territory in a straight line. And there is a teleportation array built by magicians in this city. The five-ring spell teleportation can rely on the energy stored here to quickly travel back and forth between the two places. Of course, Wei Keng wants to connect his territory with the teleportation array point here.

Of course, this requires a process of persuasion.

~

Half an hour later.

Mage Bo Ming looked at this "stubborn" boy with a headache.

The mission they accepted was to bring Carret back to the imperial capital, but the prince in front of them was so persistent that it was hard to understand. He was unwilling to change the route he had chosen. He had to go around to his destination first, and then accept the external plan in the later stage.

The supervisors had all experienced Wei Keng's stubborn spirit. In this regard, Qin Xiaohan and Bai Linglu rarely persuaded Wei Keng directly.

Carret: "Yes, you can go back to the imperial capital."

The mages: "Then let's go now."

Carret: "No, I'll go home first."

The mages: "Does your mentor have any arrangements?"

Carret: "No, I want to go back and have some tea first. I need to rest after a month of eating and sleeping outdoors."

The mages: "Can I go to the imperial capital to solve the problem first, and then return to the mage territory?"

Carret: "No, the original plan was to return to the territory first. Then go to the imperial capital."

This ordering issue made the mages experience the independent rebellion of adolescence.

~

In the system space, Wei Keng's character actually has such a bad side, which also caused surprise in the space.

The new supervisor asked cautiously: "Is it easy for Wei Keng explorers to have such a situation?"

Some old people who have passed through the space twisting plane (Liao Yangxiu) said: "Yes, he is good in everything, but he is particularly axial. If you force him to go around, he will still go back. After going around the circle, he will go again."

New Supervisor: "Well, is there no one (old supervisor) who argues with him like this?"

Liao Yangxiu looked at Qin Xiaohan and Bai Linglu from the two studios and sighed: "You have to know that arguing can't solve the problem. In the end, it is your own patience that is solved."

~

In this way, the eight mages could not beat Carret.

They were dragged back to the northern industrial territory. However, after enduring a month of stormy rainy season, when the mages finally went south again, Carret had to go through the procedures again and take a batch of new steam cars south, which was expected to take another month. This time, the mages finally couldn't stand it anymore.

This is just like some service departments in the ancient times, filling out forms, queuing, filling out the forms again if the format is wrong, and queuing again. This is very frustrating.

Mage Bo Ming came to the Temple of Heaven and negotiated with Carrett seriously.

Bo Ming finally couldn't stand it anymore and started to say harsh words: "If you insist on reaching the imperial capital in this way, we can't escort you."

However, these threats are not threats.

Carrett nodded and said: "Oh, I understand, you just give me the king's letter, and I can go all the way by myself."

Bo Ming's face changed, and he looked at Carrett coldly, took out the king's order from the shadow gap and handed it to him. Then, they left a letter of explanation to Carrett's so-called mentor in this holy land of arcane, and left in a hurry.

Then, Wei Keng set off again to the south. Master Wei chose another southbound road on the map and decided to promote the power of industrial mechanization again.

~

Above the tank, a floating shuttle with a wooden structure and metal propellers took off. This is based on the principle of spiritual energy communication of the spell system, which updates the energy supply and connects the power rod in the plane to the generator of the hydroelectric power station behind to directly summon energy!

The pesticide machine began to fly above the tank. In the second march into the imperial capital, Carret's team was not only mechanized, but also had air force cover.

Oh, this plane was developed for the purpose of spraying pesticides

The insecticide uses necromancy. Although the corrupted biogas cannot be used for the synthesis of fertilizer urea, it can be used to prepare organic matter with negative effects.

During the farming season this year, the plane has sprayed more "mating agents" on locusts, which will make them mate with each other before they have enough nutrients, and lay eggs in dry land that is not suitable for laying eggs. Of course, some mates are even male and female, and they don't lay eggs at all. And these negative effects that are extremely lethal to insects will dissipate in a few days with the sun's exposure.

This trip to the south happened to be the sowing stage on the land of some lords in the south. Wei Keng's plan is to promote it well.

Wei Keng has always been walking according to his established goals and plans. Even if others give orders, he will complete his goals in the process of executing the operation.

As for the royal summons, it is not the most important goal for Wei Keng. For this, everything will be done slowly. ——For those second-rate leaders, no matter how well they do their work, they can still find fault with it, so there is no need to do it quickly, well, and accurately.

Master Wei: "In ancient times, there was Shang Yang Tu Mu, and today there is my imperial capital Sanxing."
