Industrial Revolution of the Mage Lords

Chapter 36 Relocation Plan, Heading into the Wasteland!

When Harvey got up in the morning, he found Reiner sitting restlessly at the door.

"Reiner, what's wrong? What's going on in the lab again?"

Since they began their research on the versatility of beetle ore, Harvey and Reiner have often encountered various experimental accidents due to their inability to accurately control the degree of the "catalytic reaction".

What's strange is that no matter whether the beetle ore is released in the form of explosion or energy wave, it has never caused any harm to Harvey himself. Even when he faced the accident at close range, he remained unharmed.

But Reiner and Asdalen are different. Although the alchemical prostheses produced by the Exploration Society, whether they are scrapped models or auxiliary models, the alloy materials used are all top-notch.

It wouldn't be so bad that the two of them would be blown into pieces and unable to be put back together in the accident.

However, in yesterday's experiment, Pierce climbed onto the roof of the laboratory to help Reiner retrieve one of his arms.

But the laboratory was not so lucky. After Reiner equipped himself with the beetle ore and indiscriminately released the "Mystic Eyes of Death" skill, it was pierced like a sieve. The ceiling was patched up and the walls were leaking air on all sides.

"No, sir." Reiner explained with a bitter face, "For some reason, the teleportation array has been activated since last night, and then a large number of scrap parts of alchemical prostheses have poured out of the teleportation array..."

Reiner, who was on duty that night, was shocked. He thought someone was randomly discarding alchemical garbage through the teleportation array.

Harvey laughed. "That's the material I ordered. It's not junk."

"No wonder Mr. Asdaren said so too. He has already started sorting and classifying that pile of garbage...materials."

In addition to training the newly converted hybrid Pierce as a descendant of the same race, Asdalen's favorite thing to do during this period is to hang out in Harvey's study reading books about the history of the continent and participate in all experimental projects conducted in the experimental workshop.

The ancient wizards' enthusiasm for history and knowledge is fully reflected in him.

Harvey put on his robe and dragged Reiner downstairs. "Come on, let's go help Asdalen clean up."

……

"Although most of these alchemical parts are damaged and scrapped, the alloy material used in the casting is of very high quality..."

Asdalen commented as he sorted the items.

"Perhaps we can try to put together a new set of prosthetics and replace Reiner with one that is stronger and consumes less energy..."

Harvey squatted on the ground without any image, identifying and classifying the accessories that were almost piled up into a mountain one by one.

"I still don't understand what the use of these junk is?" Pierce relied on the mixed-race's powerful strength talent to do the carrying work back and forth, and he could lift more than 100 kilograms of alloy waste at a time.

"My lord, if you want to make alloy weapons, Reiner and I can go to Grizzly Castle and steal a batch from the lord's armory." If the action is at night, the vampire's stealth ability is indeed outstanding.

Harvey shook his head and laughed, "Do you think there are no spellcasters from the Federation in Grizzlie Castle? You and Reiner are a vampire and an alchemical life respectively, you are simply God's chosen stake pendants!" These alchemical wastes purchased in large quantities from Mr. "Man in the Mirror" at extremely low prices will be the important soul carriers for Harvey to build his own army of soul alchemy beasts.

Ever since the last witch hunter attack, Harvey has been considering moving his experimental workshop away from Jackdaw Town.

On the one hand, in addition to Reiner, there are two non-human companions, Asdalen and Pierce, who are truly taboo. The chance of being exposed has increased sharply, and every day he is worried that the Federation and the Church will come to check the water meter.

On the other hand, although he strongly counter-sued the spellcaster Burko for discriminating against his identity, there is a high probability that the other party will be punished by being dismissed from his position or transferred out of Jackdaw Town.

However, there are many factions within the Federation that discriminate against necromancers, and I am afraid that this will provoke some more powerful opponents to take action against him using Burko's case.

Coupled with the issue of witch hunters, it would definitely intensify the long-standing conflict between the Federation and the Church, and as the fuse that intensified the conflict, he himself would attract too much attention.

So the best option is to stay away from it and leave Jackdaw Town, which is about to become a place of trouble.

Harvey had already considered the relocation destination in advance.

That is the location of the ancient wizard ruins north of Jackdaw Ridge.

Not only is it located in a remote area, but it is also outside the border of Saint Valen. Neither the Federation nor the Church has jurisdiction over it. One only needs to apply for a pioneering order from the lord to occupy a piece of land openly. As long as they operate it for more than ten years, the ownership will officially belong to them.

Moreover, the ruins also contained something that Harvey coveted - a strange beetle that he named "energy-absorbing bug", and the energy ore derived from the beetle!
Such a huge and pure natural energy carrier, which is also a renewable resource as the beetles reproduce, is a treasure that any spellcaster would regard as a treasure.

With energy ore, the energy problem has been solved, which is equivalent to having a large number of soul alchemy beasts. Harvey's mass production alchemy life plan can finally take shape.

After all, the current "Unit 0" energy gathering array, in addition to maintaining the Magic Network Forum and "express delivery" services on a daily basis, also has to provide energy for Reiner and Asdalen, and it is already at the critical point of energy supply.

There was no way to supply the ten "wolf spider" type alchemical beasts that were transformed before. Harvey's physical body alone could not provide enough energy.

Otherwise, during the witch hunter attack, there would not have been a lack of advance surveillance outside the manor, which caught them off guard and almost cost Pierce his life.

Not to mention that the Magic Network platform is still providing him with a steady stream of income. In the future, he will have money, combat power, and labor... uh, a wave of evil orc zombies will be delivered on time every year!
It’s the perfect base for starting a business!

Harvey has already made plans. After moving to the new frontier territory, he will officially begin to expand the scale of the Magic Network Forum and allow founding members to guarantee the recommendation of more high-level spellcasters to join by paying points.

In the future, every member who joins the forum will be provided with a generous teleportation array service fee, as well as subsequent endless express delivery fees.

Whether it is daily information exchange or discussion of magic matrix and experimental results in the forum, all of them will appear word for word in Harvey's forum "backstage", becoming valuable knowledge that he can plagiarize at any time.

The most urgent task now is to quickly sort out this batch of alchemical materials and see if he can gather together a few alchemical creatures with loading functions to help him move this huge "Unit 0" safely to the new territory.

The corpses of the evil orcs hunted last winter and stored in the cellar can finally be put to use. At least there will be no shortage of porters, so Harvey and Reiner can do the work themselves.
