"This is …" Abel turned to Wizard Cyril. This was the first time he had seen a puppet, and one that was so agile.
Wizard Cyril didn't hide anything from Abel, "Steel puppets. This is a technology unique to the dwarves. It's a little complicated to make, so we don't have a lot of them. These are just construction puppets. War puppets are much bigger and more powerful!"
"This is unbelievable!" Abel stared at these puppets in shock. He couldn't help but have a new understanding of the civilization of the Holy Continent.
These puppets were like robots. Abel thought back to the world he lived in before. Although robot technology was developing rapidly, it was still stuck in the factory. They could only do simple repetitive work. They couldn't be controlled to be as agile as a real person.
Wizard Cyril rolled his eyes and said, "Guru Abel, if you like, I can sell you a few. But you'll have to find the energy yourself!"
Abel couldn't help but ask, "What kind of energy do these iron puppets use?" He was attracted by how agile the iron puppets were.
Wizard Cyril pointed at the steel puppet and said, "Engineering puppets like these require ten intermediate gems per hour to operate!"
"That's good. That's not too much!" Abel said in a rich voice.
Wizard Cyril continued, "But for war puppets, you'll need to use top-level gems. One top-level gem and one hundred intermediate gems. You'll need to exchange for one hundred intermediate gems per hour. Otherwise, you'll need to use top-level gems directly. With this combination, you won't need to exchange top-level gems for a hundred hours!"
"It seems like only the dwarves can use them!" Abel sighed. Although he was faking it, he was still shocked by how much energy the war puppets had consumed.
If Abel didn't have the Hradik Cube to synthesize gems, he wouldn't be able to afford these steel puppets at all!
Abel turned his head and asked, "How much does one of these small construction puppets cost?"
Wizard Cyril laughed, "To be honest, no matter what kind of puppet it is, it's not allowed to be sold to non-dwarves. But you're an exception. The dwarves treat you like a brother!" Wizard Cyril laughed and continued, "But you'll have to give me some master wine in exchange. I'll give you two barrels of master wine for one!"
Abel looked at Wizard Cyril, speechless. These dwarves were all drunkards. As long as they wanted something, they would only recognize the master's wine without exception.
In fact, the Dwarves couldn't be blamed. The Dwarves mined their own mines and produced a lot of gold, so they didn't lack gold. Other items could be exchanged with other races. Only the Master Wine was attractive to the Dwarves.
"Can these construction puppets be connected to the spirit of the magic tower?" Abel was most concerned about this, so he asked.
Wizard Cyril smiled proudly, "Of course, the puppets we make can be connected to spirits. If you have the chance, come to my magic tower and have some fun. Even the cleaning is done by my puppets!"
Abel said with a smile, "I'll place an order with the Goff family. 100 construction puppets and 100 crossbows. But I'll ask my steward to negotiate the price with you!"
Wizard Cyril's face immediately turned bitter. He waved his hand and said, "Ok, I'll pass on the message for you!"
He didn't expect Abel to ask for so many construction puppets. If he only asked for 10 or so construction puppets, he would have enough in his holy portal ring, and he would be able to enjoy all the master wine he sold. But with so many construction puppets, he wouldn't be able to get much even if he was the one who introduced this deal.
In the Goff family, the Master Wine was a strategic resource. Since only the Goff family had access to this wine, the Goff family had built a good relationship with many noble dwarven families.
"What do you need so many construction puppets for? And crossbows? Do you want the magic tower spirit to control 100 construction puppets to operate the crossbows?" Wizard Cyril asked. He still wasn't happy about Abel buying so many puppets at once.
"Of course, I know how powerful the crossbows are. As long as 100 crossbows are aimed at an area at the same time, even an intermediate wizard wouldn't be able to dodge them!" Abel explained with a smile.
"Guru Abel, I think you're taking things for granted. You know, normal magic tower spirits aren't that smart. They can't control 100 construction puppets at once!" Wizard Cyril seemed to have realized something was wrong with Abel's thinking, so he quickly tried to persuade him.
"I know, but how do you know I can use normal magic tower spirits?" Abel said with a strange smile.
Wizard Cyril was even more confused. He knew very well that even if he used his credit points, he would only be able to get normal magic tower spirits. The higher level spirits were all given out by the Wizard Union, and they couldn't be exchanged with outsiders.
While Abel and Wizard Cyril were talking business, Isaiah had already controlled the construction puppets to move the soil from afar to the base of the floating fort. It seemed like a simple project, but it was actually a lot of work.
It was a platform with an area of 1500 square meters. If it weren't for the construction puppets, it would've taken a long time just to do it manually.
The speed at which the eleven construction puppets transported the soil was astonishing. With their immense strength and the huge shovels made for digging and transporting the soil, the entire base of the floating fortress was soon filled with a meter of soil.
Abel had been watching from the side. He was very impressed with the construction puppets' abilities. He was also thinking about how to make the best use of the 100 construction puppets that he was about to get.
In just two hours, all the soil had been moved and compacted. This speed was very fast even in Abel's past life.
"The dwarves really are the best in the world!" Abel couldn't help but compliment.
Isaiah, who was sitting on the construction puppet, said, "Guru Abel, where is your magic tower next? We'll install it for you!"
Abel looked at Wizard Cyril and said, "Ahem, this magic tower needs to be kept a secret, so I need to turn on the isolation function first."
The reason why Abel was looking at Wizard Cyril was because Isaiah and the 10 dwarves he brought with him would definitely keep this a secret, but Wizard Cyril didn't tell him about it.
"Guru Abel, don't worry. I'll keep it a secret for you!" Wizard Cyril made a cross over his mouth with his hand, indicating that he would keep the secret to the best of his ability.
Abel smiled. Wizard Cyril was an important figure in the Goff Family, so he could still trust him. If he promised to keep it a secret, then there was no problem.
He pressed his hand on his chest, and a giant black hole immediately appeared on his body. If it weren't for the isolation function of the floating fort, the appearance of this black hole would've caused a panic in Harry Castle.
"The blessing of the goddess of the moon! Which elf prince or princess did you steal their equipment from? "Wizard Cyril said with a gloating smile.
Abel turned his head and asked, "What is the blessing of the goddess of the moon?"
Wizard Cyril asked curiously, "The equipment you're using now is a holy object of the Druil, but there are 4 blessings of the goddess of the moon. I just don't know which one you got. Do you want me to take a look for you?"
Abel rolled his eyes, "No need. I just need to know the name. As for which one it is, it's safer for me to know it myself."
Wizard Cyril didn't ask any more questions, so he explained with a smile, "Don't worry, Guru Abel. I don't have any relationship with those elves, and I've fought with them a lot in the past. Every time I lose a holy object, it's one less thing for me to get rid of!"
Abel reminded again, "I'm already in a lot of trouble. Please don't tell anyone about it!"
"Don't worry, we dwarves keep our promises. Our reputation is number one in the Holy Continent!" Wizard Cyril patted his chest and promised. He then turned to Isaiah and said, "You guys go back and sign a contract. Don't tell anyone about this!"
