Arad's Sword

Chapter 455 Regular Meeting of the Scorpion of Death
As the general manager of the family's three workshops and a master alchemist himself, this elder alchemist is naturally very aware of the value of Midi, who can refine seventh-level potions.

But as a high-ranking ruler who used to treat the people below as pawns, Midi's behavior also made him a little unhappy.

From Midi's actions these days, he faintly felt that this person was a little arrogant and disobedient to discipline.

What he wanted was an obedient alchemist, not a genius full of personality who was in the limelight but would not bring any benefits to the workshop.

Therefore, Elder Alchemy has long been thinking of a way to beat Midi.

But now, the attitude of the law enforcement elder just gave him a chance to kill with a knife.

As long as he agreed to the request of the law enforcement elder, on the one hand, he would sell favors to the law enforcement elder, and on the other hand, he could achieve his goal of beating Midi.

When the punishment really came down and Midi got scared, the elder alchemist could be a good guy and jump out to block him.

Such a combination of kindness and power, will not offend anyone, and can achieve all goals smoothly, why not do it?
After all, Verna was too young. Although she was very good at stirring up trouble and dragging people into the water, she was far from scheming and scheming.

Elder Alchemy looked silent, but he was actually waiting for her to pull him.

But now, since a compromise has been reached between the Alchemy Elder and the Law Enforcement Elder, even the Black Dragon High Priest has no room to intervene.

Although the head of the family can veto it with one word, but when the two respected elders reach an agreement, he will naturally not stand up for this human being who has just read the information.

In other words, it can be said that it is almost a certainty that Midi will be punished.

Verna's beautiful face suddenly seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, but she still knew her weight after all, so she could only grit her teeth and shut her mouth.

In the mind of the priestess, Midi's handsome face filled with a wry smile after being blackmailed by her flashed for a moment.

Although that human being always looked reluctant every time, he never refused her request, even if it was a seventh-level potion.

But now, here, I can only watch helplessly, unable to help.

Thinking of this, Verna couldn't help feeling ashamed and apologetic.

Just as the two elders were about to discuss what kind of punishment to give Midi, a guard captain who was guarding outside the stalagmite rushed in hastily.

He first apologized to the senior family members, then walked towards the alchemy elder, and handed over a thick stack of documents.

"Master Buck asked me to send it in urgently. He said that you must know about this matter first." The captain of the guard took a look at Elder Alchemy and left directly.

Generally speaking, very few people would disturb the regular meeting of the high-level family, so the captain of the guard was also very curious about what kind of news would make a master alchemist lose his composure.

However, he concealed his curiosity well, and then retreated directly.

However, when Elder Alchemy saw that document, he couldn't hide his surprised or even shocked expression.

"What happened?" The head of the family on the throne cast his questioning gaze over.

"It's about that human Midi Athlex..." the alchemy elder murmured, with a hint of unbelievable wavering in his tone.

Midi again?

The elders and the high priests all looked at each other, and even Verna, who had always been heartless, suddenly felt a little anxious.

Could it be that something happened to Midi, and it was such a big deal that even the person in charge of the mechanical workshop wanted to complain?

When the time comes, can I still save him?
The Black Dragon Priestess couldn't help but think this way.

For others, it is quite rare for a human being's name to be mentioned repeatedly in a regular meeting.

In countless regular meetings in the past, no one name has ever been mentioned so frequently. Even when the death scorpion decides the ranking of the core disciples of the family, the names of the five core disciples are only mentioned once for a vote. That's all.

But now, Midi's name repeatedly appeared in the Patriarch's field of vision, which naturally made people feel very surprised.

"Oh?" The Patriarch was also slightly moved, "What happened?"

Faced with the Patriarch's inquiry, Elder Alchemy didn't dare to hide anything. He thought for a while, and finally got up directly, and then presented the information with both hands: "This report says that Midi Asrex is a mechanical The studio provided two blueprints, one for a firearm named 'Skyfire', and the other for an alchemy mechanism named 'Konglei'. The strength of the family army has brought about a significant improvement."

As soon as Elder Alchemy said these words, there was a rare commotion in the usually quiet and solemn high-level regular meeting.

Two brand new weapons, and they are still approved by the famous tech madman Buck!

What this means, it is impossible for these high-level officials to be unclear.

If it is really mass-produced, there is no doubt that the Death Scorpion family will have another trump card that is hard to guard against.

Although the Death Scorpion has occupied the throne of the first family in Menzoberranzan City for thousands of years, it is just because it has been sitting here for a long time that it is more aware of the pressure from those new stars.

Whether it's a red-blooded bat or a flaming snake, which new family is not an ambitious opponent killed from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood?

Perhaps their strength and background are not as good as the Death Scorpion, but their advantage lies in being full of vitality.In contrast, the throne of a thousand years has exposed all the trump cards of the Death Scorpion to others.

Whether it is the internal structure of the family or the tactics the army is good at, these have become open secrets in front of those who are interested.

Maybe one day, those ambitious people who are suppressed below will form a tactic completely aimed at restraining the death scorpion, and then launch an attack in one fell swoop.

Under such circumstances, if the military equipment can be changed internally, it will be tantamount to removing one of the biggest hidden dangers.

Therefore, even the high-level people who have always been very deep in the city can't bear it at this moment.

And what they couldn't believe was that this hidden danger that could not be eliminated for many years for the Death Scorpion family was actually solved by this human being who had just entered the family for only two weeks.

And this human being is actually a master alchemist who is proficient in pharmacy.

How could such a thing happen?

When everyone was whispering, the only one who did not speak was the Patriarch himself.

It's not that the Patriarch's concentration is particularly good, but because the materials provided by the alchemy elders, in addition to the report written by Buck himself, and the sixteen design drawings of Midi, are all in perfect condition. sent up.

Although the Patriarch himself couldn't understand the details of the design drawings, he could already clearly understand from the description of "Skyfire" and "Konglei" that this was something that had never appeared in the Underdark Region. Weapons are extremely important to the Death Scorpions family!
If it is said that a master alchemist who can make level [-] potions is "important" in the family, then a master mechanic who can draw these two designs is now "indispensable".

For this sake, it is impossible for the elders to come forward to punish the other party. On the contrary, the family must use the best resources to win them over.

Otherwise, once Midi adopts a non-cooperative attitude or even throws himself into the forces of competitors, it will bring a fatal blow to the Death Scorpion family.

However, although there was no doubt about the quality of the design drawing itself, the Patriarch couldn't help but think of another possibility.

"As we all know, this human named Midi is a master of pharmacy, and this blueprint is a masterpiece of mechanics. Is it possible that he brought it from other places?" the head of the family asked.

"That's right!" The law enforcement elder immediately echoed, "The human aristocrat is quite cunning. In my opinion, this design is not his own, but maybe he brought it from the surface world!"

If the blueprints were only brought by Midi instead of his own design, the problem would be much simpler.

The Scorpion of Death only needs to make a deal with Midi. After obtaining this blueprint from Midi, everything will be what it should be.

However, regarding the Patriarch's question, Elder Alchemy shook his head with a wry smile, and then said: "Please read the second page of the report again. Buck mentioned that this Midi not only provided the design drawings, but also personally A group of alchemists in the mechanical workshop explained, obviously, this design drawing was drawn by him himself..."

As soon as this remark came out, the senior members of the family immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.

Even the Patriarch, who was in front of the landslide without changing his face, was moved by this moment.

He has seen too many geniuses. He has mastered the skills of four-line ghost swordsmen and is also proficient in pharmacy. There are many such geniuses in the Black Dragon Conference, and they may be of a higher level under the same age.

But while possessing high combat power and mastering potion refining, he also has such a deep understanding of mechanics, which makes people feel incredible.

Combat skills plus alchemy, this can be said to be the limit that a strong person can achieve. Of course, only Midi, who is only level 62, has not really reached the limit in the eyes of the Patriarch.

But with the ability to fight and two alchemy techniques, this is tantamount to directly surpassing the limit!
How can this be?How did this human being achieve such a high achievement in such a short life?

The head of the family couldn't help asking questions repeatedly in his heart, and looked through Midi's stack of materials again and again, but he still couldn't find the answer.

After pondering for a long time, he finally raised his head and said: "It seems that it is necessary to meet our new warrior. Send an order to let Mr. Midi Ashlex come to a family council. "

　The second update arrives, and the third update arrives at 23:30 in the evening. Continue to ask for monthly tickets!
