Chapter 425 Legendary Golem

More than ten years ago, Harland Territory had developed magic crystal charging technology and had conducted in-depth research on the microstructure of magic crystals. In fact, it already had the foundation for studying magic crystal furnaces. Even if there is no reference, as long as a lot of resources are invested, Harland Territory should be able to research magic crystal furnaces in another ten or twenty years.

Now with a physical reference, the research time can be greatly shortened.

Richard led the researchers of the Harland Mage Association to work day and night to reverse the magic energy conversion runes, super magic metal formulas and other magic technologies that Harland Territory has not yet mastered.

The first breakthrough was the super magic metal formula. Harland Territory had in-depth research on various elements and mastered the spectral element detection technology. In addition to various magic detection methods, Richard, Sophia and others quickly figured out the thirteen super magic metal formulas used to make magic ships.

Although the super magic metal formulas were figured out, Harland Territory did not master the process technology for making these super magic metals. If they wanted to refine thirteen super magic metals on a large scale, they would need to use the magic alchemy furnace for many experiments. According to Richard's speculation, it would take more than 100,000 gold coins and one or two years of effort.

The breakthrough in the formula of super magic metal can greatly promote the development of magic civilization. Regardless of whether it is for scientific and technological civilization or magic civilization, materials science will always be the foundation of civilization development.

Then there is the energy conversion rune. Harland Territory actually has a deep foundation in this technology. Although the magic science technology is different, the research team led by Wendy has already developed the magic crystal charging technology. Richard, Wendy and others saw the real thing and quickly figured out the principle of energy conversion and mastered the rune conversion technology.

In the busy research, time quickly entered September.

September is the autumn harvest season in Harland Territory. This year, Harland Territory encountered a relatively serious water fortress, and the autumn harvest was severely reduced. If it were not for the bumper harvest of summer grain in Heihe Province and Vera Province, Harland Territory might still face food shortages.

Because of the serious reduction in autumn grain production, Richard not only reduced part of the land tax, but also reduced the number of livestock raised.

According to the statistics of the household registration department, as of late September, the population of Harland Territory increased by about 240,000 this year, most of whom were newborns. There were only a few thousand free people from outside, and a considerable number of them were the families of captured soldiers on the East Coast.

Without war, there was no surplus money to buy slaves, and the population growth was naturally slow due to the accumulation of the territory itself.

After nearly two months of reverse engineering, the Harland Territory Mage Association has roughly figured out the manufacturing method of the magic crystal furnace, but if it wants to really build a magic crystal furnace, it will take about two years to do technical verification.

During these two months, Richard, Undine, Sofia and others also discussed many ideas, including how to use the magic core dug out from the legendary ogre Greyso.

Generally speaking, in addition to making artificial magic wells, legendary magic cores can serve as the core of magic arrays, arrange magic arrays in some special places, and provide energy for magic arrays. Of course, they can also be made into legendary magic props, which can be used to make the final decision in battle.

However, after repeated discussions, Richard and Undine decided to make this legendary magic core into the energy core of the legendary golem.

The Harland Lord has mastered the method of manufacturing steel golems. The steel golems they have manufactured are only seventh-level alchemical items, but golem manufacturing can be applied to other things.

The main material for refining golems can use better quality super magic alloys instead of blood steel alloys.

Today, the Harland Lord has discovered iron ore, copper ore, silver ore, and gold ore. From these minerals, some blood steel, mountain copper, mithril, and gold essence can be refined every year. In recent years, the reserves of super magic metals have accumulated to more than 20 tons. If a part of the funds is spent to purchase a part from the Grant royal family, it should be enough to refine a legendary golem.

The cost of materials for various super magic metals, not counting the labor cost, is as high as hundreds of thousands of gold coins. In addition to ordinary materials, Richard is also going to use a legendary first-level magic core and a ninth-level soul crystal. Whether it is a legendary magic core or a ninth-level soul crystal, they are almost unsalable in the market. Even for the wealthy Harland Lord, once the legendary golem fails to be refined, it is a heavy burden that cannot be borne.

Therefore, before the plan is determined, it must be discussed carefully and carefully.

Richard arranged for all the magicians with research talents in Harland to participate in this discussion. Everyone put forward many opinions intermittently, and the manufacturing plan became more and more mature and perfect.

After the plan was determined, Richard took out more than 20 Styx potions and exchanged them for super magic metals with the royal family. At the same time, he summoned the members of the exploration team and prepared to enter the undead world again.

Although many soul crystals were obtained when exploring the undead world in January last year, after more than 20 months of consumption, the middle and high-level soul crystals had already been used up.

In order to refine the legendary golem and for the future development of the territory, Richard prepared to enter the undead world for the second time.

With the experience of the first time, Richard still planned to select more than a dozen members this time.

To be on the safe side, Richard also asked the Lion Duck Cavalry to notify his father William.

Wendy could not participate in this expedition because she was pregnant, but compared with the last expedition, it had been 21 months. Richard, Wendy, Soros and others had advanced one after another, and the difference in strength was not too far.

After making preparations, everyone gathered again in the Dragon Canyon. Because Jennings and Wendy had to protect Philip, Richard temporarily transferred other personnel from the army to protect Philip for a few days on their behalf.

Last December, the Duke of Harland exchanged territory with the royal family, and the Dragon Canyon became the territory of the Harland family. In order to prevent anyone from breaking the seal and breaking into the plane channel, Richard turned the 50 kilometers around the plane channel into a military restricted area and deployed a lot of troops here.

There is not only an infantry battalion stationed near the plane channel, but also a Warcraft cavalry squadron patrolling to intercept people who infiltrate here. In addition, there is a magic hot air balloon squadron stationed ten kilometers away, and the Dragon Canyon Knight Academy Student Corps thirty kilometers away.

In addition to the security army battalion responsible for regular patrol tasks, the infantry battalion stationed in the City of Victory, and the city defense army battalion, the total number of soldiers stationed in the southern part of the Dragon Canyon exceeds 7,000.

With 7,000 garrisons blocking the area, ordinary spies will be discovered when they reach the periphery unless they are legendary professionals. As for legendary professionals, they are important figures in the Dawn Plane, and generally they will not go to the wilderness to become spies.

Everyone carefully entered the plane channel and once again went deep into the dead world.

In the first few days after entering, Sylph went around the south, east and west of the plane channel coordinates alone. Richard and others had already carried out reconnaissance missions in these three directions last time.

Sylph did not need to conduct a detailed reconnaissance. She took a quick look and found that two gathering points of the undead had been eliminated. It seemed that the forces in the undead world were updated very quickly, and even high-level undead would be eliminated in the competition.

Sylph separated from the others. Richard and others mainly went north in the direction of reconnaissance. The main forces responsible for reconnaissance were Soros, Sutton and William.

Because the goal of entering the undead world this time was very clear, everyone walked north from the plane channel coordinates, walked 150 kilometers intermittently, and reconnaissance for 15 days.

After repeated weighing, they finally chose an undead stronghold.

This undead stronghold is a zombie cave. There are hundreds of zombies of different levels in the cave, four of which are high-level undead. In the undead world, their strength is neither strong nor weak, and they are very inconspicuous.

Although the expedition team only had ten members, they had three legendary fighters, Richard, Sylph, and William. Sophia and Wendy had taken the Water of Life and the legendary Styx potion, and their mental power had exceeded 40 points, equivalent to a small legendary wizard, and their strength might be stronger than William. Soros and Sutton were both ninth-level, Wilde and Rola were eighth-level knights, and Eve was a seventh-level elven wizard.

The strength of ten people far exceeded that of the zombie cave.

Sylph and William launched a sneak attack, Richard, Sophia, and Wendy used spells to control the situation, and Soros, Sutton and others checked for leaks and made up for the gaps. It took less than an hour for everyone to clear the zombie cave.

Hundreds of zombies brought everyone one ninth-level, one eighth-level, two soul crystals, sixteen medium soul crystals, and more than sixty primary soul crystals.

The higher the level of the undead creature, the easier it is to leave soul crystals after death. According to the statistics after Richard and his team fought the undead in the Princess's Tomb, it is generally impossible for ordinary undead skeletons without grades to drop soul crystals. The probability of dropping soul crystals for primary undead creatures is about one in thirty. The probability of dropping soul crystals for medium-level undead creatures is about one in ten, and the probability of dropping soul crystals for high-level undead creatures is about one in three.

Legendary-level undead creatures will basically drop legendary-level soul crystals after death.

From the battles Richard has experienced, as long as legendary undead are killed, legendary soul crystals will definitely be found, without any omissions.

However, in the last battle in the undead world, Richard found that the probability of dropping soul crystals is higher when killing undead creatures in the undead world. The probability of dropping is about half for high-level undead, and about one in ten for low-level undead.

It may be because the environment of the undead world makes it easier for soul crystals to precipitate.

After killing all the zombies in the underground cave, everyone put some materials containing negative energy into space bags and took them all away. These materials can be melted into materials by mixing super magic metals in a special negative energy furnace, and then made into negative energy magic props such as death ray guns.

Such weapons are of great help to improve the combat effectiveness of Harland Territory.

Through the special resource point of the dead world, Harland Territory has already made 300 death ray guns. The undead materials collected this time can make at least 100 death ray guns. Richard is also preparing to sell a small amount of this item at the commodity fair in November this year.

This time, the ninth-level soul crystal has been successfully hit, which is considered to be a successful completion of the task. After the battle, Richard decisively chose to withdraw. If you want to operate the plane channel of the dead world for a long time and continuously obtain resources from the dead world, not being greedy is the first priority.

After returning from the plane channel, Richard, Wendy and others immediately began to refine the legendary golem.

Now Harland Territory has many alchemists, Wendy's alchemy has also been promoted to the ninth level, and she has successfully refined three different ninth-level magic props. Richard's alchemy has also been promoted to the eighth level. The couple worked together to achieve a success rate of 70% to 80% in refining the legendary golem.

Low-level alchemists first used a magic furnace to smelt the super-magic metal. Then they used a special mold to shape the super-magic metal, and finally used the gold-refined secret silver material to serve as the energy pipeline of the legendary golem. The most important step was to engrave a magic circle on the soul crystal and the legendary magic core, and perfectly fuse the two special crystals inside the golem.

At this point, Richard and Undine divided the work, Richard was responsible for the soul crystal, and Undine was responsible for the legendary magic core. It took more than 40 days to finally complete the last step before the commodity fair and create the first legendary golem in Harland.

This legendary golem comes with three spells: gravity, advanced force field protection, and flame spray. According to Richard's detection, it was found that the legendary golem had a strength of about 60 points, which was one level higher than the legendary knight Sylph, and agility of only 13 points, which was just enough to keep up with the pace of the eighth-level knight. The magic power was about 600 points, which was far inferior to the legendary magician, but one level higher than the ordinary nine-ring magician.

If used in a single fight, this legendary golem can neither catch up with the legendary warrior nor the legendary knight or the legendary magician. In addition, the degree of intelligence is low, and a mixed high-level professional team of six people should be able to deal with the opponent.

However, the legendary golem used on the battlefield of the two armies must be invincible, and can easily penetrate the enemy's formation, and the lethality is far greater than that of a legendary knight charging into the formation.

After all, with a powerful force of 60 points, every knife and every sword cannot be taken by high-level melee fighters.

A battle between two armies is different from a one-on-one fight. It is impossible to retreat easily and adopt tactics such as stretching the battle line and flying a kite. Moreover, even if a retreat counterattack tactic is adopted, the legendary golem has 13 points of agility, which is better than Richard, a seventh-level warrior. Compared with William and Sylph, whose agility exceeds 20 points, the legendary golem does seem clumsy and slow, but compared with ordinary high-level melee fighters, the legendary golem also has a very terrifying movement speed.

This legendary golem is actually a master of bullying.

Shortly after the legendary golem was successfully manufactured, the magician of Harland also installed the magic crystal furnace back to its original place.

It was already late October, and the snow crystal fish had ended their spawning, and the magic ship could just drive to the mouth of the Black River.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Black River was not frozen, Richard and others squeezed on this large magic ship and drove back to Black River Fort. The magic ship only took two days to travel more than 500 kilometers of water.

After returning to Black River Fort, Richard returned to Crystal Lake Mage Tower without stopping, and then placed the legendary golem here. The legendary golem has a low intelligence, and it is just right to stay here to guard this place.

There are three magic plants inside the Crystal Lake Mage Tower. Richard is also worried that there will be traitors in the Harland Mage Association. Once someone steals these three precious legendary magic plants, the loss of the Harland Mage Association will be unbearable. So under normal circumstances, Richard, Sofia, Wendy, Wendy and other senior executives must leave one here for a long time.

When the four of them are not there, Richard will close the teleportation array and arrange the sealing spell, and arrange Adrian, Butler, Bella and other mid-level magicians to take turns to guard.

Once someone wants to touch the seal, Richard will immediately detect it through the magic crystal ball even if he is thousands of miles away. Now that the legendary golem is left and a simple instruction is issued, there is no need to worry about the safety here.
