Two days later, Gills personally visited the hotel where Edward and his party were staying and invited Vera to dinner. Vera accepted his arrangements, and the next day, the people of Ark Harbor saw men and women in black robes, calling themselves priests and nuns, and preaching the doctrine of Christ to the people. White Castle also issued a statement on the same day. Gills, as the Earl, established the legitimacy of Christianity and agreed to the Church preaching in the territory.
With the appearance of the count's statement, more and more people began to pay attention to this new church. There were many rumors from within White Castle, and the protagonists of the rumors all pointed to the young count and Holy Maiden Vera. So people knew that Vera had already foretold the count before, and the result was, of course, correct. Otherwise, why would Gills advertise for the Church? In the next few days, the invitations Vera received could almost pile up into a small mountain. Together, Edward and Roger personally picked out less than ten invitations from the pile and asked Vera and Father Miro to respond to each other's invitations.
The people they chose were all important figures in Ark Harbor. Among them was the young noble named Rhine that Allen had mentioned. Establishing connections with these people would help spread Christianity locally. As for Rhine, he could spread Christianity to the imperial capital through his ears and eyes, so as to pave the way for future development.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner.
After staying in the wing tower for three days, Allen reappeared in front of everyone. After he left the wing tower, the first thing he did was to hand over a large stack of blueprints to Horn. Part of this was a design he had made for the Wind God Knight's advancement, which could be used to upgrade the set in the future. The others were a few pieces of loose armor, as well as independent plug-ins that provided performance for them.
For example, one of the fifth-grade magic sniper rifles could provide the ability to "reload bullets". This was a very common ability in sniper rifles. Reloading warheads would increase the destructive power of Origin Energy sniper bullets. They could destroy Origin Energy shields and were a practical ability. Allen had also designed several plug-ins for it. For example, if he added the "Gale" plug-in, the Heavy Bullet would be upgraded to Hurricane Shot. Hurricane Shot greatly increased the rate of fire and added excellent penetrative power to the bullet. If it was replaced with "Raging Fire", the original ability would be upgraded to an explosive heavy strike. After hitting the target, it would produce another explosive destructive power from the inside.
Using this as an example, these individual weapons, be it guns or swords, were all equipped with independent plug-ins to upgrade their abilities. Buyers could purchase targeted plug-ins based on their own abilities and needs to improve the performance of the weapon. For the manufacturer, the biggest profit from this type of weapon was not the basic weapon itself, but the independent plug-ins. In Allen's design, these plug-ins belonged to the consumable category. If the buyer was used to the improvements brought about by the plug-ins, they would naturally have to continue asking the manufacturer for more when the plug-ins were damaged. Bescot didn't even have to release all the plug-ins at once. Instead, he would release new plug-ins every once in a while to stimulate the purchasing desire of all parties.
This batch of loose armor was named "Flames of War" by Allen to commemorate the peak smoke of the flames of war he had walked along the way.
Horn was very satisfied with his new designs, especially the loose armor of the Warfire series. Compared to the previous two sets, they were more suitable for a wide range of applications. And with the emergence of independent plug-ins, the means of selling them would be more flexible. He immediately called the person in charge of the Magic Martial Factory and Hughton, telling them to rush to Castle Ugarte as soon as possible, and to prioritize the production of the sniper rifle and the Gale plug-in. Once it was completed, a new quarterly single cloth meeting would be held, and Allen's Warfire series of magical energy equipment would be fully recommended.
In the wing tower's living room, there were still some unfinished sketches. Those were two sets of armor that Allen had designed for himself and Belmore. One of the two sets of armor was "Blade" and the other was "Night Hunter". According to Allen's design, the blade would provide him with two abilities, "Sharp Sprint" and "Blade Wings".
When the sharp sprint was activated, Allen's physical attacks would have penetrating properties during the duration of the ability. This was an ability designed to weaken the enemy's armor or Origin Energy Shield. As for the Blade Wings, it was a harassing ability. After the ability was activated, it would form an Origin Energy blade around Allen for a period of time, and the blade would automatically harass and attack enemy targets. They weren't powerful, but they were numerous and would cause great interference to the target. If it was on the battlefield, it would become a nightmare for ordinary soldiers. The effective attack radius of the Blade Wings was ten meters. Within this range, the disorderly cutting of the Origin Energy Blade would harvest a large number of ordinary soldiers' lives.
The Night Hunter was completely designed for Belmore, who was now Allen's follower. His existence would greatly protect Allen's life. Belmore's ability tendencies were also obvious, so in order to complement his original abilities, the Night Hunter provided two abilities, "Assault" and "Sharpness". The attack would use Belmore's own abilities as a truncation, increasing the destructive power of his various offensive abilities in an all-round manner. Sharpness was just like the literal meaning. After activating it, Belmore's various senses and body sensitivity would greatly increase. For him, who was already good at speed and movement, it was tantamount to adding wings to a tiger.
However, there were still many details in the design of these two sets of armor that needed to be perfected. Allen would have to work for at least a few more days before he could complete the design. He also wanted to design targeted armor for others, but this was a long-term task that could not be completed in a day or two.
As for the series of design blueprints that he had handed over earlier, it could be considered that he had completed part of his family's obligations. After Horn put away the blueprints, Allen said seriously, "Grandpa, I have a batch of 'specialties' I brought back from Planet Heaven. I wonder if the family is interested in buying them."
The Clan Hunting Group developed colonial planets for the Clan. The Clan was their backing, and the benefits they obtained were divided with the Clan in a certain proportion. However, that referred to conventional income, such as the tax income of the territory, the profits from trade between the two planets, and so on. As for some special and rare products, they were not included in this category. As for those extremely profitable and precious "specialties", if the clan needed them, they could also obtain them by purchasing them.
Of course, the price sold to the clan was often 20% to 30% lower than the market price, but the seller could save a series of troubles such as procedural fees and manpower. Moreover, the funds would arrive faster, and they could also increase their contribution to the clan. Therefore, under normal circumstances, if there were no special circumstances, very few people would sell the precious specialties of a colonial planet to the outside world.
"What specialties?" Horn asked with a smile. Now that Allen had just gained a foothold on Planet Heaven, it was far from time to reap the benefits and repay the family. Horn was very curious about what kind of "specialties" he had brought with him to sell to the family.
Allen's expression was calm. He raised a finger and said, "I brought back more than a hundred kilograms of Thames silver this time. I'll sell it at a round figure of a hundred kilograms. The extra part can be considered a little repayment to the family. "
"Thames silver!" If Horn's attitude was disapproving before, then now it was almost a 360 degree change. Thames silver was a strategic reserve material. Many high-grade magic energy weapons, as well as important components of starship energy transmission circuits and energy-type main cannons, needed to use Thames silver. And Thames silver was an extremely rare metal. Even the current reserves of the Federation were only a dozen or so conventional silver mines that provided this rare metal.
"There's actually such a vein on Planet Heaven?" This time, even Horn was shocked. He knew that Planet Heaven was rich in resources, but he didn't expect that there would be a vein of Thames silver on this planet. It was not an exaggeration to describe the value of such a precious resource that could not be recycled. The hundred kilograms of Thames silver that Allen had brought back didn't sound like much, but if it flowed into the market, it could sell for at least thirty million. If it was hyped up by merchants, it wouldn't be a problem to increase it by another ten to twenty percent.
At the current market price, a ton of platinum was only ten million Federation dollars. From this, it could be seen that Thames silver was the most precious metal. Of course, there were several other known natural minerals that were still less valuable than Thames silver. For example, a substance called the Shadow Star Diamond, which contained a dense amount of Shadow Origin Energy and was the main energy supply unit for the Dark Matter Cannon. There was also an item called the Prison Flame Eye. It was usually produced in the center of the planet and would appear in certain mineral veins as the six tectonic plates moved. It was a mixed biomass. The Prison Flame Eye contained a large amount of flame origin energy. Refining the origin energy within it could be used as the energy consumption of a city of 100,000 people for a year. At the same time, it could also be used as an energy supply unit for high-energy particle cannons.
In short, substances like this that naturally contained different types of Origin Energy were priceless items.
Since there was a precious mineral like Thames silver on Planet Heaven, it was hard to guarantee that there were no other precious items. As a result, its value was several percent higher than the initial evaluation of the Federation. Right now, the Federation had no time to care about it, and the Heavenly Party Star was in an extremely remote and distant star field. Otherwise, the Federation might list it as an exclusive opening target, refusing other clans to enter, and then build a rainbow bridge that was used on a chaotic battlefield for a large number of fleets to come and go. Instead of providing only one subsystem, it was only through contacting the space field on the moon to open up a unilateral curved space, and the number of starships that could pass through each time was extremely limited.
