V2.Chapter 160

The night passed quickly.

Sauron woke up early the next day because the third batch of supplies from Viper Island had already been delivered. Now the transfer stations of overseas bases are Viper Island, where a killer whale that is about to mutate into a marine monster is stocked, which is a very safe place. Now the killer whale is close to the size of a blue whale, and basically a slightly smaller ship can't even withstand a single hit from it. The waters near Viper Island have been divided into restricted areas by Sauron, and they are afraid of being attacked by the pirate king Asrod.

As long as it wasn't Sauron's ship near that sea area, it might be attacked by this mutant killer whale!

In the first half month or so, there were merchant ships from the sunken overseas. I don’t know if it was a real merchant ship, or it was the secret eyeliner of the pirate king Asrod. Anyway, it was directly hit and sunk by a mutant killer whale, and there was no one left on the ship. live. Since then, the others have learned a lot, and it takes bloody slaughter to make them understand that Sauron's words are not a joke. Viper Island stores a large amount of materials, many of which are directly supplied to overseas bases, which can reduce the time for travel.

It is also easier to avoid the eyes and ears of other people. After all, there are too many intertwined forces in Tailuo Harbor!

………………

Not far from walking out of the camp, Andri, the leader of the drow elf warriors, was waiting in front of him.

"Lord Cutthroat!"

When he saw Sauron approaching, he hurriedly 7, ︾wx.≧t slightly bent over and lowered his head, and then said, "I have already sent those dragon eggs to the priest, and there should be no problem in hatching them. However, it is difficult to say whether it can be domesticated successfully. Because they have been away from the Underdark for too long, there are very few people in the tribe who know how to domesticate petrified lizards."

"But we will definitely try our best!"

Sauron glanced at him with a rather cold attitude when he heard the words, and then said, "Well. I see."

After saying that, he left immediately.

Only the leader of the drow warriors was left standing, and the dark blade Andri looked a little nervous. After hesitating for a while, he did not follow up immediately, but waved and called a drow ranger, frowning: "He has been a little uncomfortable with us. Be patient! Haven't the goddamn babes come to a conclusion yet? At least they should take a stand, right? I'm afraid the throat cutters will get more and more unhappy with us!"

The young drow ranger was also nervous. He whispered: "A lot of important positions in defense recently have been taken over by those pirates. We basically can't get involved in the warehouse! Those pirates obviously want to prove that they are no worse than us, I'm afraid we will be replaced in this way! Besides, those pirates are all human, but we are all drow, and I'm also worried that the cutthroat will go on like this..."

Speaking of which, the young drow ranger paused.

The two looked at each other and shook their heads. Darkblade Andri frowned for a moment, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "These damned females are really stubborn! Even though we are under the shelter of others, they are still stubborn. The pie below!"

The Drow Ranger also had a thoughtful expression on his face when he heard the words, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Lord Dark Blade. The Drow Warrior Guards are very supportive of you! And your reputation is no worse than any priest. It's just because they are females that they have always been higher than you! I think that since we have gradually integrated into the surface world, maybe some customs should be abandoned. As males in the group, we bear more responsibilities, but we do not appropriate position."

"It's time to make some changes!  …"

"If Lord Darkblade is willing to stand up, I believe that many drow warriors and rangers are willing to support you!..."

silence.

Dark Blade Andry fell into silence when he heard the words, but his eyes flashed a ray of light, which seemed to be a little hot. Inside the drow. The status of male drow is quite low, and basically there is not much power. Even in the Faith of the Dark Maiden, the female drow still reigns firmly. After thousands of years of inheritance and accumulation, it is not without complaint that the male drow is suppressed. It's just that the customs of the ethnic group have been deeply ingrained, and the rule of the female drow is still unshakable!

But they have now come to the surface world, maybe there is a chance to make some changes?

In the Underdark, if the male drow of which family is superior. It may be ridiculed by other drow families, and may even be considered to challenge the dominance of female drow, and thus be punished by the spider queen. Even besieged by other drow families. However, this is already the surface world, and no one will attack them because of this.

There was a cold light in the dark blade Andri's eyes, he slowly clenched the handle of the knife, and said solemnly: "Give them another chance! They don't know the strength of the throat cutter, but we can't let the ethnic group be dragged into the abyss of doom. !"

Sauron's methods are too cruel.

All along, he has given the impression that he is decisive in killing, and Dark Blade Andri is very worried about what terrible things will happen when the Lord Cutthroat runs out of patience!

………………

marina port.

As soon as Sauron arrived at the port, he saw Ms. Fortune, the pastor, who was on the field in front of him. Jin was still dressed in such jewels, like a graceful and luxurious lady, but unfortunately she looked a little kitsch. If there is one word to describe the love of the followers of the Goddess of Wealth, then 'local gold' is definitely their favorite color.

"Your Mightiness."

The one-eyed dragon had already been waiting beside him. After seeing Sauron, he immediately handed over a list, and then said, "This is the delivered goods. Then here is the news from the Ocean Temple."

"Yeah." Sauron stretched out his hand to take it and glanced at it, and immediately said: "The materials allocated to the drow elves are reduced by half, and the other allocations are used as rewards for Oriental craftsmen."

After speaking, he opened the letter sent by the Ocean Temple.

After a few glances, Sauron could not help frowning, and then silently put it away.

"Your Mightiness!"

Jin walked over with a smile on her face. She played with the agate ring on her index finger and said slowly, "It looks like we can sign an agreement? We have set our sights on that piece of land, from the slope in front to the land here. We are willing to buy it at a price that is absolutely satisfactory to you. At the same time, if you have no problems, the City of Fortune will soon send someone to support your construction of the port terminal."

What a big appetite!

Sauron glanced at the place she was pointing, and found that the location that Jin had picked was quite tricky, and nearly a thousand acres of land was carved out in one breath. From the port to the border there, she almost swept away the most useful third of the land. And her pointing like this is equivalent to including one-third of the port, which makes Sauron hesitate a little.

"Don't rush to refuse, Your Excellency!"

Jin has been secretly observing the changes in Sauron's expression. After noticing that Sauron seemed to disagree, he immediately said: "The fleet of the city of wealth has already set off yesterday. Perhaps after seeing our strength, Your Excellency , there will be new changes soon. Money has the most powerful magic, I believe we will not let you down."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help showing a confident and playful smile on the corner of her mouth.

But Sauron was silent for a while when he heard the words, and then put the letter directly away. The news of the pastor of the goddess of wealth in front of him is better than his own, and the fleet of the city of wealth actually set off yesterday. When she said this, she was already showing her strength. The foundation of a church of gods that has been standing for thousands of years, it is indeed far away from him, the pirate king who has just established the foundation.

………………

Camp warehouse.

Sauron had just returned here, and the half-elf first officer was already waiting.

"Your Mightiness."

After seeing him, the half-elf first mate leaned over slightly, and then handed over a well-made leather armor, and said in a very excited tone: "We have completed more than ten pieces of dragon leather armor made by craftsmen. It was just made today, I have already tested it briefly, the protection ability is no worse than the iron armor, and it is much lighter to wear at the same time."

"Please take a look at it!"

finished?

A smile appeared on Sauron's face when he heard this. After reaching out and taking it, he glanced at it, then weighed the weight, and said with satisfaction: "Not bad! But this seems to be a dragon leather armor made of bipedal pterosaurs. What about the other part?"

The half-elf first mate approached quietly after hearing the words. He whispered: "The other part is more difficult to make and may take a while, but the quality should be better than this batch."

Sauron nodded and said, "Let them finish it as soon as possible. We may have to clean up the nearby natives after a while."

There was a bloodthirsty smile on the half-elf first mate's face, and he nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Your Excellency. The task will definitely be completed within this month."

"Item Type: Dragon Leather Armor [+1]

Item Level: [First-Order Extraordinary Item]

Item description: This is a leather armor made from the dragon skin of a bipedal pterosaur. Compared with other armors, it is stronger and lighter, and has quite good protection ability. A part of the dragon skin characteristics of the sub-dragon creatures will be retained on the leather armor, which makes it have good durability against fire, ice, and acid. Not easily damaged in enemy attacks. In the production process, this dragon leather armor is a little rough, and it does not achieve the top effect, but it still has the potential to be enchanted.

Equipment requirements: 8 or more strength [Because it is dragon skin, it is heavier than other leather armor. ].

Equipment effect: subspecies dragon skin, toughness, protection level +5.

Weapon special effects: [Sub-species dragon skin], this dragon leather armor has the dragon skin protection ability of sub-dragon creatures, and can directly immune to any attack with an attack strength below 5 points, and can reduce the damage it receives when receiving most of the attacks. harm.

Weapon characteristics: [Toughness], this dragon leather armor is quite tough, which makes it not easy to break when it is attacked, and it is also difficult for strong acid and fire to damage it easily. "

Sure enough, the dragon skin is different!

Sauron held the dragon's leather armor +1 in his hand, and nodded with satisfaction. This protective ability was not weaker than that of the inlaid iron armor. Using it to equip his subordinates would definitely improve his combat power by more than a little.

Too bad Sauron couldn't wear armor.

Because wizards cast spells through armor will increase the chance of failure, especially the kind of full-body armor that is too heavy, the chance of spell failure may increase to more than 50%. The only advanced class that can easily cast spells while wearing armor is [Arcane Knight], and they have a unique ability called [Spellcasting with Armor].

(Arcane Knight [Advanced Occupation]: Possess Specialty Alertness, Iron Will, Advanced Specialty Combat Casting, Skill Specialization [Concentration], and can wear any armor to cast spells.) [Note: One of the advanced heroic occupations , the advanced system of double cultivation of magic and martial arts. 】

It was basically impossible for Sauron to wear armor.

The number of arcane knights is too small, it is difficult for him to learn the expertise of [Armor Casting] from them, so he can only find a way to get legendary enchanted robes in the future. The legendary wizard robe also has a strong protective ability, and can even directly enchant the energy protective field without affecting its flexibility at all.

………………

A busy day has passed.

In the evening, Sauron took a walk around the camp after dealing with many things.

By the way, he was also going to take a look at the research progress of the wizard Saruman. The reclamation of the cultivated land was almost completed, and it would take a long time to sow seeds. The fertilizer side must keep up with the progress, otherwise the harvest this year will definitely not pass the test.

There are no weeds around the camp now, and the neat roads are barely extending in all directions. The wizard Saruman's laboratory is in the north corner, and he seems to like to study the plants in those tropical jungles.

Sauron quickly came to a courtyard.

There were specially arranged spell traps nearby, and Sauron easily found them by relying on the thief's intuition. At the same time, the vigilance traps arranged by Saruman also discovered the arrival of Sauron.

"Welcome Your Excellency!"

The gate of the courtyard opened automatically, a simple alchemy circle, and then Saruman's voice came from it: "I have almost finished what your Excellency needs."

"I'm conducting an experiment, and I can't be separated for the time being. Your Excellency can come in directly."

Sauron glanced around, then entered the courtyard.

As soon as he entered, he saw some strange plants that looked a bit like pitcher plants. There are also many less recognizable plants. These plants are planted around the yard and surrounded by special fences. Each plant has a sign in front of it, recording the time of planting and so on.

"This is?……"

Sauron frowned slightly. murmured: "Piranha? He planted these plants?"

It should be those weird plants.

Although the size is different, and there is a little less of the breath of living creatures, it should be those man-eating plants in the jungle.

the difference is.

Those in the jungle looked like living beings, and in front of them were a bunch of plants.

"Your Mightiness!"

Saruman came out of the room. He leaned over slightly and made a gesture of invitation, then said, "I have already completed the preliminary things you want."

He saw that Sauron was observing those plants, and his expression changed slightly. Then he pretended to be relaxed and said, "These man-eating plants are very interesting, and I am studying them."

"correct."

"These plants are the fertilizer you need, and you can see that the growth rate is very good."

Sauron was very keen to discover that Saruman was unnatural at that moment, but he didn't ask any more questions, after all, the other party and him were just an employment relationship. The wizard's research hobby is very special, as long as it is not a dangerous move, it is within the tolerance of Sauron. He had dealt with necromantic wizards before, and compared to those wizards who studied corpses all day, Saruman's little hobby was nothing. So he got up and entered the room, and immediately saw a lot of bottles and jars, as well as many glass test tubes.

a time.

It actually gave him the feeling of entering a chemistry laboratory.

alchemy.

A field that includes potions, enchanting, engineering, magical construction, etc., and even soul shaping is within the scope of alchemy.

Belongs to a very esoteric field of study.

There are three apprentices busy in the laboratory, and there is a cumbersome clay golem next to it. This clay golem looks very rigid, as if it has not been injected with souls, but just stands beside it with a strange tool.

"Look, Your Excellency!"

Saruman took out a box containing pellet-sized things that smelled like urea. He reached out and touched his beard and smiled: "This is what your Excellency wants. I have tested it, and it works well for any plant."

Sauron picked up one and observed it.

This is a bit different from the fertilizer he remembered, but it's not too far away. Converting struvite into fertilizer is not a very high-end process.

He put it back gently and said solemnly, "How is the output?"

"This!..." Saruman's face was suddenly embarrassed when he heard the words, and his voice was a little lower.

Sauron couldn't help frowning and said, "No. Too few!"

How much can be in this box.

The amount of land he needs to cultivate is quite large. There are nearly a thousand slaves who are responsible for cultivating the land. This amount of output simply cannot meet the needs of arable land.

"I know!"

Saruman hurriedly said: "I am trying to modify the alchemy tools. If successful, the output will increase a lot."

"Yeah." Sauron nodded, patted his shoulder and instructed: "Increase the output as soon as possible. My request is not only to meet the needs of arable land here, but also hope that it can become a commodity."

"I think you should understand."

Saruman nodded seriously and assured: "The output will meet your request by the end of the month at the latest."

………………

(ps: The camp has grown to be close to a town, so it needs a name. The Buddha couldn't think of a suitable name, so I can only ask you for the name of a city. If anyone thinks of it, you can leave a message in the book review area.)
