Sodelor finished the last two moves before sheathing his sword. He then sat on a stool next to Rody and drank a mouthful of water. "The main reason is that it is difficult to learn from an expert. If I practice by myself, my comprehension will be slower. The only thing I can think of is that these sword techniques are very exquisite but inflexible. Powerful sword techniques are not passed down through fixed moves but through continuous improvement. "
These words surprised Roddy. He didn't think that Sodelor would feel this way now … with Sodelor's personality, he wouldn't brag so easily. He dared to answer like this because he had reached a bottleneck.
"Only war can produce experts. You and I, as well as everyone else, know this. You can only learn by moving your muscles and bones. That's why I found some good missions that should help you. "
"I knew you had a way. I've only been here for a month, and I already feel like my bones are rusting." Sodelor raised his eyebrows. "That's right, I heard that Milnor's army was defeated. What happened to him?"
"He was killed before he could run back to his territory." Roddy knew that Sodelor would always remember this enemy. "He offended too many people before. After Charles II gave him up, he lost his backer. Naturally, he ended up like this."
"Whew …"
Sodelor looked into the distance and was silent for a while. He was from a noble family, and he knew what Milnor's death would lead to. After the death of his only son, there was no legitimate heir in the family. The head of the family suddenly lost his power and was assassinated. The fate of the whole family was to fall apart and fall apart.
"Bergen will become Efta's territory sooner or later …"
"Not only Bergen, but all the places you can see will eventually be called 'Efta.'" Roddy's words made Sodelor raise his head. However, he had already expected this. He nodded and said, "Just look at the cabinet reform. You want to completely change this state of disunity. Many people even asked me if I would be unhappy. I think they are the short-sighted ones. "
These words actually meant something … the cabinet's decision directly changed the status of the various feudal lords. They went from "looking after themselves" to serving the cabinet together. A large part of their power was taken back. Sodelor was originally a baron of Paer, so he could be considered a lord. However, according to the results of Roddy's reform, he would only be able to control a portion of the territory's tax revenue in the future. The rest, including the right to legislate, conscription, and so on, would be abolished.
Naturally, most of the nobles were unwilling to do so. After all, no one would be happy if they lost their authority and had to listen to their superiors. But Sodelor could clearly see that if he continued to manage the territory according to the previous system, let alone dealing with Charles II, the internal friction in various places would probably exhaust him half to death.
He knew that he was not suited to be a lord who had to manage everything. The only place where he truly felt like a fish in water was the battlefield. The title of "Aftali Blade" was not for nothing. His greatest wish was to increase his strength.
"I know that you won't be able to find an opponent right now, so I plan to temporarily divide the Dragon Spear Cavalry Regiment into five teams. After they're divided according to the various professions, they'll go to the locations I've marked to complete the missions I've arranged. Whether it's a magical beast or a relic, there will always be a reward. "
What Roddy was talking about was actually the "PVE team" plan that he had planned in the past. There were still countless dungeons and Wild Bosses waiting to be farmed all over the country. How could he not make good use of them when his mind was filled with strategies? It had to be known that it was easy to level up by farming a few dungeons, and the mission rewards were really good things that money couldn't buy!
Naturally, Sodelor agreed to this request without hesitation. Fighting magical beasts was different from being on the battlefield. It required more brains and cooperation, and it also tested one's strength. But what he didn't expect was that Roddy had thought things through even more carefully and specially arranged a mission for him that involved a "Holy Sword Fragment."
"That guy will always be full of nonsense in the beginning, and he'll even swindle you, but you have to do everything he says. This way, after the third or fourth time, he'll tell you what to do." Roddy couldn't directly tell Sodelor about the series of missions, so he could only give him the name of the NPC that initiated the mission and a few key points to pay attention to. The rest was up to him to figure out. "If everything goes smoothly, this guy will promise to forge a suitable sword for you, but you have to provide the materials. When that time comes, just tell me, and Elson will give you the best materials to satisfy you. "
This was a very famous open series of missions that all players could accept. At the end, the other party would provide a chance to forge a sword. The sword's attributes were determined by the grade of the materials provided by the player. The final product would be at least "Excellent" grade, and if the materials were precious, "Epic" grade was not out of the question.
"Right, I got some good stuff from the trip. I can't use these two swords, so they're the most suitable for you."
Roddy took out the longsword and shortsword from the "Judgment of the Bone Throne." Sodelor, who loved swords as much as his life, was already fascinated by the missions he had arranged for him. Now that he saw that Roddy had brought two swords for him, his eyes immediately lit up as he studied them.
The attributes of these two epic-grade longswords were very strong, much stronger than the sword that Sodelor was currently using. After all, "good weapons" were something that swordsmen and knights couldn't get even with money. For this general under his command, Roddy would definitely not be stingy with any rewards.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. The forging method is different from the current weapons, but it's a little similar to the new batch of weapons from the Munitions Factory. But it's much better than those. "
Sodelor twirled the sword, marveling at the balance of the sword and the elemental rhythm flowing within it. Roddy knew that he was a sword fanatic, so he patted him on the shoulder to let him take his time and strolled away.
Stepping into the Pasha Magic Tower, Roddy walked around the various projects of the Magic Research Department as usual and was very satisfied with the progress. He did not forget to drive the "prototype" for a while. Then, after being reminded by the researcher, he remembered to give the world's first car a name. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly remembered a magic novel that he had read before, so he wrote down the name "Firebolt", which was a name that no one else could understand.
"This is the first generation prototype. Use it as the foundation to study the dual front wheel steering mechanism and gearbox. This will be your next topic."
After assigning new tasks, Roddy strode upstairs and opened the door of his laboratory.
"Misha" saw Roddy and came over to please him. This reminded him that he had not had time to study the "demonic infection", so he sat in front of his desk and wrote down a few simple experimental plans. But he had not written much when Camilla knocked on the door to report to him.
"He came back two days later than he had expected."
Camilla said casually as she put a stack of documents on his desk. This made Roddy feel that he could not take it, so he said hesitantly, "Err, something happened in Hollier, so I came back late."
I'd be a fool to believe you.
Camilla rolled her eyes and then got down to business. "The first batch of weapons and equipment from Tasman has been shipped, and the goods are being verified. This is the transaction list."
"Tsk, tsk. The war is over. We're finally making money."
Roddy was delighted. He picked up the list and glanced at it. The first batch of weapons and equipment purchased by the Tasman "resistance" was worth a little more than 70,000 gold coins. But they obviously could not afford to buy it directly, so they used a large number of Tasman "specialties" to convert the price and ship them back. There were more than 20,000 gold coins in total, and the rest were all kinds of strange things.
"Ah, they really gave us a lot of Magic crystal. It can be considered as solving part of the energy problem."
Roddy heaved a sigh of relief. He had been worrying about the future sales of the "Recharged Crystal". After all, it was not just for mages. At present, Crohn and the others had only felt a small part of the benefits. When the "Recharged Crystal" became embedded in the industrial and construction system of the entire kingdom, they would realize how valuable it was.
So now, he was using "hunger marketing." On the one hand, he was whetting people's appetite to create hype, and on the other hand, he was worried about overcapacity. After all, Roddy had heard of the "grain phone" trick, and it was never boring to use it.
"This is probably most of the savings that they can take out right now. The rebel army is still quite poor," Feng Luo said. So I'm talking to the council. Compared to them, these bones should be much richer. "
Camilla was now very good at this. She skillfully flipped through the records of the letters with the elders of the Undead Council. Roddy could not help but sigh that she was really good at politics. Based on the current conditions, the ratio of investment and return with the elders of the Undead Council could even reach 1: 8! This included "cobalt gold," "silver ore," and "iron ore," which were currently in great demand for Elson.
"The military academy should be recruiting soon, right? When the time comes, there will be a suitable opportunity to let them participate in the real war in the name of 'military consultant.' "
Fighting a war depended on people, and it was impossible for Sodelor to command them alone. The "military academy", an institution that specialized in training officers, could obviously ensure that the backbone of the future army had basic military literacy. He did not want to find himself surrounded by illiterate people when he went to war.
Continuing to flip through the list of supplies, Roddy noticed that the "rebels" had really used everything in order to gather this amount of money. There were 30 to 40 types of rare herbs alone, and at least a dozen of them were rare species that could not be found in the Kingdom of Karen. They were important raw materials for making powerful potions and rare potions. And because of the information asymmetry, Camilla had lowered their prices to the same as common goods like "Hemostatic Grass."
