As the saying goes, flowers within the walls are fragrant outside the walls. Perhaps the three sets of Han clothes didn't get the praise that the girls wanted to hear from Lin's mouth. But in the Holy City of Estali, it did cause a sensation.
From the moment the Black Tortoise Robe appeared, everyone realized that this master of mathematics had created a powerful piece of magic equipment. When the Four Spirits Robe appeared, everyone was shocked to realize that this powerful piece of magic equipment could be mass-produced!
Of course, "mass-produced" here didn't mean the same thing as industrialized mass production. It simply meant that there wasn't only one.
No one could tell the difference between the Black Tortoise Robe and the Four Spirits Robe, even though the two sets of clothes were fundamentally different. In most people's perception, these two sets were both powerful magic equipment. In addition, the material was silk, and the unique design and exquisite patterns complemented each other. When women wore them, they complemented each other even more. How could people not go crazy?
Some people wanted the manufacturing method, and some people directly wanted a set for self-defense. They all went to Gabrach Tripwood, who was a pushover in their eyes. They wanted to express their strong will and an irresistible request in exchange for a chance to cooperate, the kind that wouldn't be paid.
When these people came to visit and saw the Magic Prince Azad's amiable smile, nine out of ten of them pissed their pants. The remaining one had a heart attack and was carried to the Temple of Life to receive the blessing of resurrection.
Azad simply said to these people, "Oh, you want to compete with me? Of course, that's no problem. It's just that I don't like to win or lose. I'm more used to directly getting rid of competitors. So, what do you want to compete with me for? Let me confirm it first. "
In short, this move of closing the door and releasing the Magic Prince was more useful than someone's own intimidation or killing in all directions. So this guy was troublesome, but he still seemed useful. That was what someone thought to himself.
Perhaps some people with ulterior motives didn't dare to come to his door again. But the people who hoped to have a set of magic equipment made of silk weren't all scared off. They didn't dare to come to his door and ask, but they would make their own requests through various channels, and even generously let Lin make his requests in exchange.
Unfortunately, from the beginning, Lin had no intention of making it for others. So, no matter who came to him in person, Lin would politely decline; if the request was made by letter or other means, Lin would have the two girls reply to the decline message. There was no exception.
Putting aside the fact that he had already promised Azad that he would make a set of … Hanfu for him. A certain someone also wanted the second and third set of robes that were woven using the jacquard machine. Lin Xiang simply took back the Four Spirits Totem that had been abandoned by the three women.
As for whether he would be tricked a second time, a third time, or even a fourth time … he could only hope that it wouldn't happen. The experience of ascending to godhood in the robe was too exciting. He couldn't bear to do it again. Therefore, before the production, he had to think of a way to avoid it.
However, one night, while Lin was observing the stars, Fen went up to the attic and knocked on someone's door.
She didn't put on the Four Spirits Clothing after taking a bath. Instead, she wore a loose robe and wiped her long wet hair. Lately, she, Hallumi, and Kaya had been having a lot of fun researching different ways of tying hair buns. She had completely forgotten about the existence of the two apprentices and her teacher.
But what was the purpose of his visit today? A certain person's appearance was still that of a skull, that face of a dead person, not recovering. Marco Lin didn't feel that the current him was attractive at all. In fact, he didn't seem to be attractive in the past either.
"The amount of silk cocoons that Hallumi has left is almost enough to make another set of clothes," Fen said.
Lin Xiang didn't think too much about it and said, "Yes, we can finally deal with Azad's request. These days, he would mention it from time to time, and he wouldn't forget to mock me. I'm almost annoyed to death. If I can clear what I owe him first, I should feel a lot more relaxed. "
"Let's put that matter aside for now. I have a use for this set of clothes. What do you think? "Fen asked in an unquestionable tone.
"Sure, there's nothing wrong with it," Lin Xiang replied smoothly. Then he asked, "Can I ask what you plan to do?"
"Oh, I thought you wouldn't ask that question," Fen teased.
"I have to know why before I can think of an excuse to stop Azad. Otherwise, if he makes a scene, it will be very troublesome. "
Fen asked in confusion, "Didn't you tame him?"
"How is that possible?" Lin Xiang spread his hands and said helplessly, "That guy isn't arrogant or unruly. He just doesn't care about anything. Whether he's good or evil, he doesn't care about these things. So, at most, he won't make trouble for me. Nobody can tame him. "
"Even so, will you be worried?"
"Yes, of course. Why wouldn't I be? I don't know if you've noticed, but he's been able to catch Hardy in this house recently. "Hardy was the old magic cat with gray hair and a scar.
Under normal circumstances, the action of "catching a cat" would be judged as an attack, and the magic that was added to the house would be a defensive attack. However, most intruders would be killed by the defensive attack. They could only blame themselves for not being good enough and couldn't blame anyone else. But to be able to catch a cat successfully, that meant …
"You're saying that Azad is looking for a loophole in the house's defense system?" Fen asked in surprise.
"You can say that." Lin Xiang nodded and said, "To be able to catch Hardy without triggering the defense system, it can be seen that Azad has done some research. So, no matter what we want to do, we have to stabilize that Highness first. Ah, right. What do you want to do? Can you tell me? "
Fen tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "There's nothing that can't be said. I want to use the materials of this silk to trade for something. "
Lin Xiang asked quickly, "Who are you trading with?"
"Mage Saint Mahetab."
"Well, I remember that this is …"
"The tower master of the Holy City Estali III Tower," Fen replied.
"Why did this big shot come to us?" Lin Xiang asked curiously.
"She's also a woman. It's that simple. "
After pondering for a moment, Lin Xiang asked, "What do you want to trade with that mage saint?"
Fen didn't answer Lin Xiang's question directly. Instead, she asked a seemingly unrelated question, "How strong do you think Shi Dong is?"
"Shi Dong? Are you talking about that real dead head of yours? "Fen's subordinate a thousand years ago was a sutured corpse among the undead creatures. Unfortunately, after a thousand years, they didn't hug each other with tears in their eyes. Instead, Fen chopped off his head with her sword.
As for how strong he was, Lin Xiang couldn't imagine it. In terms of military achievements, in the era after the Devil King was defeated, the strongest legion commanders had all died under Shi Dong's hands. Only then did the Homo Sapiens Alliance have the means to wipe out the remaining dark army and escape from tyranny.
But how could the combat power of a thousand years ago compare to the combat power of today? Lin Xiang was at a loss.
"Let's say that whether it was Azad or William, they didn't even have the chance to face me in the Dark Age a thousand years ago. Because they were too weak, they weren't qualified to face me. If they met Shi Dong at his peak, even if they could split into three clones, they wouldn't be able to defeat him. Six of them wouldn't be enough to defeat Shi Dong alone. "Fen raised her chin, showing her smug mood.
Lin Yi was surprised by Fen's explanation. But on second thought, such a change wasn't surprising. This was probably a uniqueness and limitation brought about by the environment of the era.
A thousand years ago, the legion led by Fen's real target was the old gods of the past. Every time there was a battle, some accident happened, or someone died in battle. It was something that they were used to. Under that kind of pressure, if they weren't strong enough, they would die. Therefore, everyone gave it their all.
But in this era of peace, there was no pressure of war, and there was no urgency to kill gods. When they easily touched the peak, it was estimated that they would have a long period of confusion, or precipitation, before they found out where the next peak was. Some people would even live in their ivory towers for the rest of their lives, not knowing where the next peak was. They would only know how to drink and sleep.
However, how could Shi Dong, who only had one head left, shoulder such a heavy responsibility? So, Lin Xiang asked, "Then, what about now?"
Lin Xiang's question made Fen feel inexplicably disappointed. Calming himself down, Lich said, "The strength of the stitched corpses I create depends on the level of the body I use. Some of them had been awakened from the bodies of dead gods, while others had been pieced together. They had taken whichever part was stronger and used it as a tool. Apart from these, even though Shi Dong only had one head left, he had been fighting for a long time, had seen a lot of things in his mind, and had mastered many skills that ordinary people could not imagine. So, as long as he has a qualified body, unlike the elemental body he's using now, he can recover at least seventy to eighty percent of his strength. "
Suddenly, Lin seemed to understand why Fen wanted to find a Tower Master of a magic tower. He said in surprise, "You want to use that method to reconstruct a body?"
Fen nodded and said, "I've had this idea for a long time. However, it's not that easy to find a vein of magic stones to absorb, so I thought of the energy pool of the Magic Tower. However, the energy pool is the core area of the Magic Tower. Strangers or unfamiliar people are not allowed to get close. My original idea was to wait until you built a Magic Tower or inherited a tower, then use the energy pool to reconstruct your body. However, it seems like you've given up on trying to take over the Magic Tower. "
In response, Lin shrugged and shook his head with a bitter smile.
Fen continued, "At this time, Mahetab came to me. What could be more wonderful than this? "
"I see. You want to use a set of clothes in exchange for the right to use the energy pool. I have no objections if you want to do this. However, is it a good thing to let Shi Dong have a body? "Lin's question was related to many aspects.
Sitting opposite Lin, Fen crossed one leg, her elbow on her leg, and her chin on her hand. She smiled sweetly at him and said, "I don't know if this is a good thing. Back then, you were the one who promised that Shi Dong would still be loyal to me. However, I'm very sure of one thing. Mage Saint Mahetab will definitely regret it in the future. "
