The mage arrives

However, although there is no plan for the gray dwarves to integrate into their territory on a large scale for the time being, Gordon still selected twenty skilled blacksmiths from the Shixin tribe and brought them back to the new city.These gray dwarf blacksmiths will rely on their unique dwarf skills to improve the quality of the weapons of Gordon's army to a higher level.

Since the Aikan people took refuge and completely defeated the Pensa rebel army, he, a foreign lord, gradually gained a firm foothold on the peninsula.There is an endless stream of local tribes, large and small, who come to him every day to swear allegiance to him.In this way, more and more human resources can be utilized in his hands, and he can maintain a larger standing army.

With the expansion of the number of troops, the veterans who have experienced battles can gradually change to new weapons from the hands of the gray dwarves, while the new recruits use the old weapons replaced by the veterans.After the expansion and refitting of the army is completed, Gordon can also consider the issue of arms export in exchange for more funds.

Of course, these are trivial issues for Gordon.He is not a meticulous farmer, as long as the territory maintains good development and the gdp continues to grow, it will be fine.The chores are handed over to his subordinates, and his main energy still has to be on arcane arts.

Speaking of arcane arts, after these gray dwarves attached to him, they did bring a lot of good things.As promised, Trawork handed over all the precious books, ten thousand,, it, .nsb.om books kept by his family to Gordon.Coincidentally, I have read all the arcane books recently stored by the mage—including the tome "Comprehensive Use of Runes, Enchanting, Mechanics, and Forging" that I got from the halfling brother on the ancient road. Also read it.Gordon from the halfling Baggins brothers life-long masterpiece of painstaking efforts.I have learned a lot of useful knowledge, and I have gained 3000 experience points just on the character attribute panel.And various creation skills have also been improved.Most importantly, he obtained a specialty called "Magic and Odd Equipment", and the original "Wonderful Object Creation" specialty was also upgraded to "High-level Wonderful Object Creation".

The game structure of "Ancient Era", in the final analysis, is actually a game of throwing dice.Players hit people with fireballs, or slash at a monster with a long sword.To open a treasure chest with a lockpicker, or to control a beautiful female npc to do something shameful with a charmer, the player will roll the dice.Then let the system determine whether the dice thrown by the player can exceed a specific value—that is, the test value. If it exceeds, it means that the test is passed, and the player's behavior is successful.If not exceeded.Then the player's action fails.

certainly.Through a series of elements such as attributes, equipment, skills, etc. to affect the process of throwing dice, this game system becomes very complex, interesting, and has depth.

Gordon can also be seen as rolling dice when crafting potions, wands, scrolls, and more complex magical items.And his corresponding creation skills and specialties can add a value to him when throwing the dice, so that he can have a higher probability of passing the test.for example.Gordon has two six-sided dice in his hand, and he wants to make a potion for a five-ring spell.Need to roll a number that exceeds the check value of 10.Based on this calculation, the success rate of successfully making a five-ring magic potion is very small.

But when Gordon's alchemy skills continue to improve, and he has mastered the specialty of "concocting potions", he gets an extra 5 bonus when configuring potions, so as long as two six-sided dice roll 5 points, the The five-ring magic potion can be successfully made, and the success rate is greatly improved.

Now, Gordon's various creation and arcane skills have been improved, and he has learned new specialties, which makes him no longer a big "zero" possibility when he tries to make some advanced magic props. With a certain basic success rate.So he can try to make some more advanced magic props.

The specialty of magical equipment allows Gordon to have a higher success rate when making arcane and mechanical hybrid objects.Golems do not belong to machinery, but to the category of "sculpture".However, the black titan that Gordon once made, the vest of this golem, is a kind of magical equipment.

And the puppet dragon he is planning to make also belongs to this type.

Among the books of the Shixin family, indeed, as Trawork said, there are many records and descriptions about puppet dragons.Gordon finally understood the principle of this powerful war machine of the gray dwarves.

Although the essential principles are quite different, like those intelligent machines on the earth, in order for the puppet dragon to move and obey its own commands, it must have the two major systems of "power" and "control".

The power source chosen by the gray dwarves for the puppet dragon is the earth vein radiation crystal.

Leyline radiation is a very strange natural phenomenon in the underground world.In the ley line radiation area, teleportation spells cannot be used, and other energy systems will also be strongly disturbed.Basically, apart from the Death Devil's Zone, the Earth Leyline Radiation Zone is the second place mages don't want to go.

However, for the dwarves who have had no relationship with magic for a long time, the ley line radiation area is not a big problem.What's more, in these areas, special crystals formed by absorbing a large amount of leyline radiation energy often appear, that is, leyline radiation crystals.

This crystal is a good source of energy and is used by duerwarves in various ways.The blue light they emit has a fascinating and mysterious quality, and is regarded by the duerwara as a gift from the gods.Therefore, the earth vein radiation crystal is also called the divine light crystal.

Obviously, for the gray dwarves, this crystal is the preferred source of power for a large war machine like a puppet dragon.

Although Gordon didn't have the ley line radiation crystal at hand, it was difficult to get a large enough piece, but the mysterious energy core he obtained from Vesula Mountain could very well replace the ley line radiation crystal and solve the problem of power. question.

Although the mysterious energy core had been damaged, it was not like the one that Gordon had found in the Danzig ruins before.The energy of this mysterious energy core has not been exhausted, otherwise it would not be possible to pollute the water and land of the entire Haiwen Peninsula.So as long as Gordon repairs it, it can be used as the power source of the puppet dragon.

As for the problem of control, the gray dwarves rely on magic pets to solve it.

Although these gray dwarves did not have rune mages until the Fourth Era, the entire race was not always insulated from the arcane.The profession of warlock still appears from time to time among the gray dwarves.

According to the book "Crystal and Life" provided to Gordon by the Stoneheart tribe, the gray dwarf warlock can use the special power of the ray radiation crystal to evolve his magic pet into a "Crystal Primarch".In this way, it can be perfectly used as a "controller" to control the puppet dragon powered by the ley line radiation crystal.
