Li Ke's departure was not as hurried and flustered as the previous times. This time, he was well prepared. Not only did he bring Miss Nora, who could be used as a customs document, he also brought along six ships filled with supplies and a large number of people in charge of the Chamber of Commerce.
After all, this time, he was returning to his other base camp and naturally, he had to bring back some things: all sorts of plant seeds, many machines used to produce paper, cotton, and some workers who were tempted by Li Ke to teach there with high salaries. It could be said that Li Ke brought everything he could and Sarah couldn't help but feel a little jealous. As for the transfer of power, it went smoothly. Even though Hank and the Agriculture Minister were green with envy when they heard that Li Ke was handing over power to Sarah, Li Ke wasn't worried that they would overstep their boundaries. After all, these political lifeforms were smart. They knew that not being greedy was the best performance for them to work under Li Ke. Only then would they be able to obtain power that they couldn't get if they were greedy.
Therefore, they got what they wanted and more or less took away some of Sarah's authority. However, Sarah didn't care about this. She already knew where authority came from and she didn't care who it belonged to in name at all. After all, their fists were the biggest.
Therefore, Pi City even held a banquet for Li Ke to pray for Li Ke and the others.
"I still don't understand why you're in such a hurry. You can clearly negotiate the conditions here and lead a Noxus army to conquer Birgivot. But you still want to make a trip to Freldrod and take the route of Noxus. This will undoubtedly irritate His Majesty the Emperor's nerves."
The new King stood on the deck and gazed at Pi City that was getting further and further away. All of a sudden, a woman in a purple mage robe appeared beside him. She fiddled with her hair casually and asked the real ruler of Pi City in an indifferent tone.
"That's because I need a weapon."
Li Ke let out a sigh. He had too many things to do and it was a pity that he didn't have enough time.
But this time, Zhao Hai would be able to make sure that the basic facilities in Freljord were well preserved. After all, he specifically looked for scientists to produce cement and asphalt. Moreover, he also brought along several cement and asphalt production machines. Although the output might be low in the short term, he still brought along several industrial machines as well as some engineers who didn't have great achievements but were very skilled in the basic manufacturing industry.
"Weapons? Don't tell me you're lacking in weapons? "
Nola gazed at Li Ke speechlessly. She swept a glance at the useless guards beside Li Ke. The weapons in their hands were made with a special alloy unique to Pi City. Even without enchantments and runes, their sharpness and toughness were comparable to the weapons of Noxus' high-ranking officials. Moreover, their weapons were also connected with Hexes Cores to become special enchantments and runes.
In a city that could mass-produce such weapons, wouldn't the craftsmen of the entire city be able to produce a godly weapon that was worthy of her?
Miss Nora tried to persuade Li Ke in vain by saying something that fit her setting.
"What I need isn't a sword of mortals. I need a weapon that can slay Gods."
Li Ke naturally saw through her doubts. Indeed, Piertwolf was a well-known arms dealer in this world, but what was the use? Disregarding everything else, any random Dark Kin would be able to make them question their lives. Indeed, some of the Hexes products were extremely powerful and even Li Ke would fall for it if he wasn't careful. But a melee weapon for direct combat …
The scientists of Pi City expressed that this was an outdated product. How could the power of a human body be greater than the power of gunpowder and energy cores?
"A weapon that can slay Gods? Perhaps you can purchase it from Noxus. After all, our rune weapons are powerful enough. If you ask, the Empire will use the best rune craftsmen and materials to create the strongest rune weapon for you. Or perhaps you can take a look at the Emperor's treasury. After all, Noxus has harvests from all over the world. If you can't find a suitable weapon in Noxus, then you won't be able to find one anywhere else. "
But Nola, or rather, Lefran, wouldn't give up. After all, if Li Ke didn't head to Shadow Island, then her plan would have to change greatly and there would be some omissions. After all, she didn't have that much time to set up and she only sent out one chess piece to confuse the enemy. Moreover, the people she invited into the game were not very patient people.
Therefore, Li Ke's move disrupted her plans.
"Hehe."
Li Ke sneered. He glanced at Sarah and the others who were still standing at the dock. Then, he entered his cabin and took out a book that was about 15 centimeters thick and started reading. He took out a book that was used to enlighten children in Pi City. It was also the only book in the world. But even though it was an enlightening book, the amount of knowledge in this book was far more than the high school textbooks on Earth. Because in this book, geometry and advanced mathematics were placed less than ten pages after one plus one and the quadratic equation of one variable. The rest of the book was about the principles and production methods of Hex Technology, as well as the adaptations to various situations.
But what was interesting was that Li Ke saw Lagrange points with different names and all kinds of things that were discovered on Earth. It seemed that magic had indeed accelerated the speed of scientific research in this world and it wasn't as simple as the use of geometry and advanced mathematics in magic.
This book that could be used as a university textbook after tearing off 20 pages was Pi City's enlightening book. Li Ke finally understood why Pi City's technology relied entirely on the sudden emergence of geniuses. This was undoubtedly to filter out the geniuses among the commoners and not really to enhance the knowledge of the commoners.
But he had neglected this point because he was too busy. So he put aside the pure intention of learning and picked up a pen to study the knowledge in the book while correcting it at the same time. Even when Nora leaned on him and drank and flirted with him, she did not disturb him at all. Within three hours, he was able to thoroughly digest the book and come up with a textbook setting that was in line with the learning progress of the children in this world. In terms of his understanding of Hex Technology, Li Ke, who had finished reading this book, was almost the same as a newly graduated Pi City student.
This was his learning speed. His body had surpassed that of humans and he was like a genius in some sci-fi movies. He could use a few days to learn the amount of knowledge that an ordinary person would need a lifetime to learn.
So he didn't intend to waste this talent. He planned to enrich himself during his time in Freldrod instead of indulging in debauchery with a woman who had designs on him. He also planned to read all the magic books that Nasus gave him so that his knowledge could catch up with the Gods and prevent himself from being tricked in the future.
Yes, he planned to learn all the knowledge in Freldrod before he arrived in Freldrod.
