A month and a half passed in a hurry.
As spring gradually arrived, the northern defensive island chain guarding the Sea Monster King welcomed a rare bit of green. Although there were no high-level plants, only the smallest and most humble but also the most tenacious moss and lichen.
"Uha!"
"Uha!"
During this period of time, batch after batch of troops under the Raging Waves Church had gathered here. As of today, the total number had already exceeded 50,000. It was as if they wanted to turn this battle to protect the Sea Monster King into a staged battle for the Black Sea Divine Power.
In this batch of troops, there were sirens with thick seaweed-like hair, ears replaced by fins, and sharp teeth that looked like beautiful women.
The shortest one was more than three meters tall. His green skin was covered with strange patterns, and there were lightning flashing around him from time to time.
His body was translucent and dark blue, and his clothes covered all kinds of eras. He seemed to be a drowning soul made of mist or water.
There was also the largest number of people, and the absolute main force with gills, scales, and webs on their bodies. They were tall and strong — the Riptide Fishmen.
Of course, there were also all kinds of wild sea monsters. Some of them were under the command of the Black Sea Goddess, while others were summoned by the Sea Monster King.
On the contrary, the Raging Waves Church, which had the least number of human priests with extraordinary levels, and most of them existed as managers in the camp. Obviously, the church had been rebuilt for too short a time, and there was a serious shortage of clergy who could form combat power.
As for the elite subordinates of the Pirate King, who should have been an important force, none of them were seen.
It seemed that Faith's words of seeming unity were not just empty words.
However.
During this period of time, any of the seemingly powerful groups on the island were not the focus of this extraordinary war. The focus was on a large metal house on an unnamed island in the defensive island chain.
At this moment, a group of Djinn rushed over after hearing the news.
Elvin, who was wearing a wizard's robe, held a three-meter-long silver staff that seemed to have no special features other than being thick and hard. He suddenly swung it out.
In an instant, the scattered lightning released by the vitality magnetic field produced a powerful cluster effect under the effect of the long staff. The fine sparks were twisted into a violent thunderbolt.
Rumble —!
Even though it was still a few meters away, a large piece of reef that was used as a target had already been blasted into a pile of rubble by the flashing lightning.
In the process of its discharge, it was accompanied by a high temperature, a shockwave from the violent expansion of the air, and a high voltage electric current. Reef couldn't withstand it, let alone his body of flesh!
Then, the blue light patterns on the surface of the silver staff slowly faded away, waiting for the user to activate it again.
Under the expectant gaze of the audience, Elvin was like a product manager at a new product launch. He spoke enthusiastically to arouse the consumer desire of this group of potential customers.
"Everyone has already seen the power of the [Standardized Equipment: Thunderstorm Long Staff] that we specially developed for the Djinn.
Apart from that, it can also connect the power of several Djinn and release powerful electric shocks that even large species can't withstand. "
At this moment, there was clearly some commotion among the audience.
"Such a powerful weapon doesn't need three or four thousand, nor one or two thousand. It only needs nine hundred and ninety-eight! You didn't hear wrong, only 998! And the unit of measurement was silver coins.
Why are you still hesitating?
The most tragic thing in life is that you're still alive even when you've lost all your money. Buying a weapon isn't spending money, it's investing in your own life! "
This group of Djinn, who could kill small species of sea monsters by themselves after reaching adulthood, were all experts in using lightning. Naturally, they could also see the benefits of this weapon. With the help of this "Thunderstorm Long Staff", it would be like adding wings to a tiger for its own race.
And it could obviously be mass-produced and used together in a military formation. The effect should be more than one plus one greater than two.
"We accept various payment methods. The supply is limited, first come first serve!"
Elvin's following words directly shattered the last hesitation of this group of Djinn.
"Give me one."
"I want one too, I'll pay with ancient gold coins!"
"I came first, give it to me first, I have a flawless Sea Sapphire!"
“.....”
When the group of Djinn started to quarrel, it was like thunder. Elvin looked at this scene and laughed until his chin was about to dislocate.
"Money and goods are settled, yours."
"Yours."
These foreign races under the command of the "Raging Waves Church" had strong individual strength and a backward level of civilization. Although they had various traditional bone and stone weapons, they couldn't compare to the steel weapons produced by humans and the wizard creations.
He didn't know what the upper-level wizard "Steel Man" who made this "Alchemy Workshop" did. The workshop integrated its own arsenal and could use an assembly line to mass-produce cold weapons.
Because of limited energy, the arms dealer Elvin mainly provided two types of arms:
The low-end product was the long-handled armor-piercing awl for the Raging Waves Fishmen. The triangular steel armor-piercing awl had a terrifying blood groove, and the resistance underwater was extremely small. It was definitely a sharp weapon used by the Fishmen to deal with large creatures.
This kind of low-end product was purchased in bulk by Bishop Fisher.
The high-end product was this kind of [Standard Weapon: Thunderstorm Long Staff] used by the Djinn. Referring to the mature product "Lightning Rod" that could assist in restraining the human vitality magnetic field, it was a powerful weapon that could assist the Djinn in manipulating their own innate lightning. It was tailor-made.
However, Elvin also had a trick up his sleeve. Although the armor-piercing awl was sharp, it was not treated with anti-corrosion. If it was soaked in seawater for a long time, it would definitely rot slowly.
Although the Thunderstorm Long Staff was in the category of extraordinary weapons, it had a specific dormant mechanism. If it was hostile in the future, as long as the dormant mechanism was activated remotely, it would be turned into scrap metal.
Although the two sides had reached an alliance, as a qualified naval officer, he still had to take precautions.
In fact.
After arriving at the defensive island chain, Elvin quickly discovered that the polar coastal area was rich in coal, iron, copper, silver, and diamond reserves when he sent out the seabirds as a routine reconnaissance. It was just enough to provide most of the main raw materials for his arms manufacturing.
It just so happened that the island had a sufficient labor force. He used them to mine various minerals, process them, and then sell them to them. After a series of operations, he made a lot of money.
Elvin did not forget that at the beginning of last year, these guys had destroyed an entire treasure fleet. The gold and silver in their hands was enough to build a house directly.
"Pfft —"
In the alchemy workshop, Olivia withdrew her gaze from the window with a smile. It was rare to see such a philistine side of Elvin. It was really interesting.
Then, he lowered his head and his hands moved quickly and accurately. He began to complete the final gemstone inlay work on the two rings in his hands, one big and one small.
During this period, their research project of the "standardized gem industry" had begun to bear fruit.
First, they constantly stimulated the primitive "gem shells" to give birth to children. Although each of them felt that their bodies were hollowed out, they provided enough excellent host base for Elvin and Olivia to create magical creatures.
Then, they would be demonized. As long as they could survive the extremely low probability of demonization and become magical gem shells, everything would not be a problem.
Then, when they were selecting excellent breeds, they encountered another great enemy — time.
However, since the "school of Activation" could accelerate the growth of plants, of course, it could also accelerate the growth of animals. Moreover, through directional mutation induction, they saved a lot of useless breeding and screening time.
As long as there was a feasible idea, the efficiency of the wizards who had the assistance of various magical witchcraft to turn ideas into reality was simply beyond the reach of scientists.
Soon, in the first batch of magical gem shells, they found a beauty in the shell that perfectly met their expectations. Using its characteristics of being able to both self-reproduce and cross-breed, they used all means to promote its development and reproduction.
In less than two months, it grew to the size of a washbasin. Clusters of gemstones grew on the surface of the crystal clear shell, and behind it was a group of small gem shells the size of bowls. They were all stable genetic individuals of the same species.
Elvin added a specific substance to their environment so that they no longer grew colorful mixed gems like before, but pure gems of a single species.
In the first batch of experimental gems, the two chose rubies and sapphires.
Rubies referred to corundum that was red and pink in color.
Sapphires originally meant blue corundum because this color was the most common. In fact, sapphires included corundum of all colors except red, such as green, yellow, purple-red, colorless, and so on.
Corundum (AL2O3) was colorless and transparent, but when it contained trace elements, it would produce colors. For example, when it contained chromium, it would be red. When it contained titanium and iron, it would be blue. When it contained iron, it would be green. When it contained iron and nickel, it would be yellow.
Therefore, these two gems were the easiest for them. They only needed to add aluminum and an additional metal element at the same time.
In addition to the material composition, Olivia created the "Magic Quenching" process, which introduced "magic elements" during the growth of artificial gems, so that these organic gems would have similar characteristics to natural mineral gems.
And because it provided a very stable living environment for the gem shells, the gems they produced were highly consistent. However, the older the biological age of the gem shell, the higher the quality of the gem (the concentration of magic elements).
Of course, in the end, it was easy to say, but the two had also put in a lot of effort.
Finally, their efforts were not in vain.
Today, the first batch of sapphires produced by the mother gem shell had reached the lowest standard of witchcraft gems. The two could not wait to harvest.
They obtained more than a dozen large and small organic gems that looked purer than natural sapphires.
After the mother gem shell was returned to the water, the mantle under the shell would continue to secrete and precipitate new gem clusters. Shellfish would not change their shells for the rest of their lives. In the future, the gems they produced would only get bigger and better.
Olivia picked out two of the best gems from the pile and crafted them into a pair of rings.
"Ha, it's done!"
Elvin, who had played the role of an arms dealer, came to the girl's side. He gently hugged her waist from behind and whispered in her ear.
"What's done?"
"Close your eyes, there's a surprise!"
Elvin smiled and gladly obeyed.
The girl picked up the larger ring and held Elvin's left hand for a long time. Finally, she put it on his ring finger.
"Done."
Elvin opened his eyes and saw the new ring on his ring finger. He could not help but laugh.
The middle finger represented love, and the ring finger represented marriage.
At the same time, the girl smiled slyly and waved her right hand. She wore a ring of the same design on her ring finger.
"Hehe, I don't care. As long as you dare to wear this home, I'll immediately ask my brother Duke for your hand in marriage!"
Hearing this, Olivia's thin eyebrows immediately raised.
Murderous intent!
