066 Royal Envoy (Part 2)

To a 'frontier official' like Uther, the royal envoys are generally no different from 'shit stirrups'. They either brought all kinds of weird orders from the royal family, or when they arrived at the place, they made all kinds of comments and acted arrogantly by virtue of their status as special envoys. Nine years ago, a special envoy came to Winterwind City to announce the royal edict. During this period, he hinted that Uther should ask his wife to 'accompany' him for a few days. Although for nobles, it is nothing to let their wives accompany big men for occasional fun. It was a strange thing, but Uther refused without hesitation. The next day the envoy returned angrily, but for some unknown reason, when he was about to return to the royal city, the envoy suddenly disappeared and evaporated. No one has seen him since. .

I hope the special envoy who came this time will not be so ignorant. Uther snorted in his heart, and then said to Liang Lidong: "Your Excellency Beta, let's deal with the special envoy first, and you can stay here first. Although the environment in the basement is It’s simple, but it has all the necessary materials, and when I go back, I will immediately ask Baaba La and Tess to come over to help.”

Liang Lidong nodded, but the city lord's wife smiled and swayed slightly: "If Lord Beta feels lonely, I can stay with you. There is... in the inner room..."

Firmly waving his hand to interrupt the young woman's words, Liang Lidong said: "I have good intentions, but I don't want to be buried at the bottom of the lake in a few days."

With a rather dissatisfied click of her tongue, the city lord's wife and Uther left together. Before they left, they left the middle-aged housekeeper to assist Liang Lidong. All the latter's reasonable requests could be fulfilled through the middle-aged housekeeper.

After the two left, Joan of Arc, who had been standing on Liang Lidong's shoulders like a statue, finally spoke: "That woman is so shameless. She can say such things in front of her husband. She is really shameless."

"If you don't have such a thing as shame, it will never arise." Liang Lidong said: "The city lord and his wife are very qualified nobles. Most of them have already regarded this kind of thing as useless when they were teenagers and girls. Things were completely thrown away.”

Joan of Arc said doubtfully: "Master, it stands to reason that you are also a noble. I can feel a nobler bloodline and temperament from you than the nobles, but there seems to be a big difference between you and the nobles. Although I have come into contact with There are not many nobles, namely the Uther family, but it can be seen that their ideas are completely different from yours, and there are many conflicts between the knowledge you gave me, Master, and your approach."

As a demon pet, Joan of Arc can receive a lot of knowledge he knows from Liang Lidong, but whether in the game or in the real world, the demon pet cannot obtain knowledge about the "earth". Therefore, Joan of Arc didn't know where her master came from or where he was from.

After a period of getting along and observing, Joan of Arc keenly discovered the differences in her master. She found that her master did not look like a normal person.

People in the information age are naturally different from people in the magic age. This is a matter of course. However, Liang Lidong naturally would not reveal his origin to Joan of Arc. He just said: "I will start to regulate the magic circle later." , as a falcon, you will definitely not like underground tunnels. You can fly out to play by yourself later, and help me take a look at the surrounding environment. Safety first."

"Okay. I thought I would encounter a head-on battle when I came out this time." Joan of Arc fluttered her wings twice regretfully: "In the end, I still have to do the job of a scout."

"It's better than hiding in an underground tunnel."

"That's true!"

Joan of Arc quickly flew out of the tunnel. It really didn't want to stay in the tunnel. The underground environment was an invisible oppression for most flying animals. Liang Lidong asked the middle-aged housekeeper to bring him a map. If he wanted to build a medium-sized magic circle, he had to take into account the terrain factors. In the game, Liang Lidong collected most of the magic modeling diagrams, including various magic arrays. He is a famous player in the game, one of the four major lords among the players, and also a famous magic theory Grandmaster.

It is not difficult for him to create a medium-sized general-purpose magic circle. The only troublesome thing is the alchemical magic items, but Uther will be responsible for solving this aspect.

Soon the middle-aged housekeeper brought the map over. Liang Lidong looked at the map and began to construct a magic circle according to the terrain.

The energy core of the magic circle must be built in a safe place, usually underground. The gold mine cave is now much wider, and the energy core can be set up anywhere that is not easy to collapse. The problem lies in the energy running channel of the magic circle. Gold is an inert metal and does not easily react with other substances, including magic elements... In fact, gold can be used as magic armor, but this is very expensive. After all, although the gold armor on the whole body can defend against magic damage, But the resistance to physical attacks is extremely poor, and a set of shining golden armor appears on the battlefield. Haha, with the rhythm of hatred, those players with great imagination will not do this, let alone ordinary NPCs.

Therefore, the gold mine cave is now like a sponge full of holes. Although it cannot completely stop the flow of magic elements, it can slow down the process, which will greatly reduce the effectiveness of the magic circle and even make it impossible to activate.

Liang Lidong thought for a moment and shook his head. The middle-aged housekeeper brought the layout of the mine tunnel to the bell on the table. The housekeeper came and went in a hurry this time and seemed very anxious.

But Liang Lidong didn't care. As a housekeeper, it's normal for there to be many things. He continued to focus on the two maps.

In order to prevent the magic circle from being affected by the gold mine cave, there are currently two methods. One is to use the mine tunnel to build a magical element channel and lay it outside the cave entrance, lay the magic array energy pattern on the outside, and leave the energy core inside. This is relatively simple, but because the magic circle is exposed and exposed to wind and rain, it is easy to cause minor problems, and it is also easy to be destroyed by the enemy's long-range attacks. The second method is to dig out dozens of small, straight upwards and downwards in the mine. Channel, so that magic elements can flow directly up and down without going out through the mine tunnel.

However, the second method is more troublesome. After all, digging a small straight passage is very difficult for people in this world, and it is not like there are drills available on earth. However, we still have to use the second method. Mining gold mines does not happen overnight. A magic circle that is not easily affected is the first choice.

Liang Lidong started making drawings based on the two maps. Compared to fighting, he actually preferred to analyze magic and draw magic arrays, which is why he could become a master of magic theory. But people are playing games, and they can't help themselves. Even if you don't like PK when playing games, others will come to PK you, so Liang Lidong was forced to PK.

So now that he is doing this job, he is actually very happy. It feels great to look at the black lines coming together on the blank paper and draw his imagination bit by bit.

But not long after, Joan's psychic communication interrupted his thinking.

"Master, something happened outside the mine. I think you should take a look."

Liang Lidong frowned, and then entered the vision sharing mode. From a condescending perspective, he saw two groups of people gathering outside the mine. On one side were soldiers wearing brown leather armor, blocking the mine. These were Uther's soldiers. On the other side were infantrymen wearing blue coats, with the symbol of a crown printed on their clothes.

Royal infantry? Liang Lidong frowned. Didn't the special envoy go to the castle? Why are he here? Uther is not here either... An idea flashed in Liang Lidong's mind. He probably guessed what was going on, and quickly dropped the charcoal and walked out of the mine.

Soon he arrived outside the mine. As soon as he pushed aside the soldiers blocking him, he saw a golden young man shouting loudly: "You despicable servants, please get out of the way. From now on, This place is under our control, the Royal Infantry, and you can either accept our command or get off the mountain."

Liang Lidong stepped forward, pulled the middle-aged housekeeper standing at the front, and asked, "What's going on!"

The middle-aged butler's face was ugly and pale, and his forehead was covered with sweat. He turned around and saw Liang Lidong, as if he had found a backbone, and said: "Your Excellency Beta, he said that he is the royal envoy, and the emperor ordered him to take over this mountain. They say that a military defense line will be established here, and those who have nothing to do with it will either become their subordinates or leave, otherwise they will be shot to death!"

Liang Lidong looked at the other party, then at the middle-aged housekeeper, and said, "The city lord must have given you an order before he left here. We can just follow it. Do you have any questions?"

"The city lord did say that if outsiders enter here, they will be killed directly." The middle-aged housekeeper said embarrassedly: "But they are real royal envoys. I also have a certain understanding of heraldry. These soldiers should be genuine. A member of the Royal Infantry. That young man has a wild boar emblem on his chest, and he should be a distant relative of the royal family, a member of Clement. We dare not do anything casually, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the city lord if something goes wrong."

Liang Lidong frowned: "Since the city lord has said to kill him directly, you can just do it. What are you waiting for?"

The middle-aged butler was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be a little moved, but when he looked at the other party, the courage he had just summoned weakened again.

At this time, the blond young man pointed at Liang Lidong arrogantly: "That spellcaster in red robe, who are you? Tell me your name!"
