Arad's Sword

Chapter 481 Start collecting

The policy was set, and Midi immediately began to deploy.

The black crystal collector "worker bee" is just like its name, it looks like a small bee, and there is a long needle at the end.

Midi could tell at a glance that this was a kind of alchemy puppet, but the craftsmanship was quite complicated.

Although the fighting power is not the same as those steel golems, the orders that this kind of worker bees can execute and the environment they can face are far stronger than the steel golems that lack IQ.

Midi even suspects that even the Mithril Golem with a fierce soul hidden in its body may not have such a worker bee with stronger thinking ability.

As for the "honeypot", it is a container for storing black crystals. However, it also has many functions, one is to call the police, and the other is to have a certain self-hiding function.

In this way, it can be regarded as a little self-protection ability.

In addition, when receiving these devices, the black dragon remnant order in Midi's body even moved slightly, and even directly produced a subtle magical link with the honeypot.

At the same time, on the Black Dragon Remnant Order in Midi's body, in addition to the original number representing the Black Flame Coin, there are actually a few more lines of text.

Honeypots, quantity 2, in standby.

Worker bees, number 11, are on standby.

Obviously, there is some kind of mysterious connection between the Black Dragon Remnant Order and the alchemy puppets and alchemy equipment of these Dragon Temples.

This kind of connection enables Midi not only to know his situation directly through the Black Dragon Remnant Order, but also to give orders directly.

Undoubtedly, this was a pleasant surprise.

In the case of insufficient manpower, if there is such an extra function, then Midi, as the commander, can perceive the status of these worker bees in the first place, and then issue the most effective response instructions.

"This method of direct linking with magic power should be derived from the alchemy of the ancient heavens." The voice of the eighth apostle, Rotes, slowly rang out, "I am afraid that the Tyrannosaurus King Bakar obtained a Yes, it's just, why did he use this kind of alchemy to make these puppets, and then put them in the Underdark area adjacent to the Demon Realm?"

Naturally, Midi couldn't answer such a grand question of Rotes. In fact, Rotes only expressed his own inferences and did not seek the answer.

But the word "devil world" still stimulated Midi after all. After all, the death warrant in his body was growing every moment, and Midi could always smell the pungent sulfur smell in it from time to time.

Therefore, Midi's movements became faster.

With a thought in his mind, a simple order was immediately issued from the Black Dragon Remnant Order, and the 11 worker bees immediately rushed out of the Dragon Temple without hesitation, and rushed towards the depths of the Black Crystal Forest Sea.

Then, Midi asked Zaknafein to stay, find a safer location, place 2 honeypots, and at the same time, control 11 worker bees as a whole.

And Midi himself, as the most experienced adventurer, directly marked down the area directly in front of the black crystal forest to explore.

Since Mason has been to the surface, and the Black Dragon native Ruisen has a relatively high affinity with nature, so the two of them are also responsible for an area to explore.

"The exploration time is twelve hours. Come back to gather at the Dragon Temple that night to supplement the Black Dragon Remnant Order." Midi issued a basic order.

However, he didn't let Mason and Ruisen directly explore, but began to explain more specific details.

For example, during the exploration process, in addition to the density of black crystal plants, there are also various terrain factors such as water flow, terrain, rocks, and canyons that need to be marked.

The distribution and population size of monsters in the forest should also be marked.

Not only that, Midi also taught them the method of drawing maps, the scale, and even the marking methods of different types of terrain and creatures, etc., in detail.

Of course, Zaknafein was also listening carefully at the side at this moment.

The reason why Midi did this was because he knew that although Mason and the others could be considered relatively high-ranking among Menzoberranzan fighters, they were really not outstanding in terms of adventure.

A true adventurer must not only be able to survive alone in an unfamiliar environment, but also be able to fully adapt and make the environment work for him within an extreme time.

Now, in the strange environment of Crystal Dragon Castle, the three of them can only say that they barely managed to do this.

But Midi's request is more than just "adventurers".

After all, what he is facing now is not a simple exploration and adventure, but a "resource war" that has huge demands on Heiyan coins.

To be able to win in this war, what is needed is not only the courage of the adventurer, but also the awareness of war.

In other words, if Mason and the others can be promoted from the most basic adventurers to elite scouts who can bring enough influence to a war, Midi's chances of winning will increase significantly.

Therefore, as a commander, Midi spared no effort at this moment to teach Mason and others all kinds of knowledge in every detail.

After all, there are only 11 worker bees now, and it is just the beginning.

In the future, when the scale of collection expands, I'm afraid there will be no such time.

And if "King of Fighting" Thor and others enter the black crystal forest, then Midi will be even more weak.

At that time, let alone handing over the knowledge to Mason and others, I am afraid that there may not even be much time to talk.

As time went by, Midi's explanation became more and more detailed, and even added many examples.

For example, "what should I do when this happens", "what should I do when that happens" and so on.

For this sake, if Mason and the others still don't understand what he's talking about, then their lives will be in vain.

"You want to train us to be...soldiers?" Mason stared at Midi with incredulous eyes. He had been to the continent of Arad, and had stayed in both the "Bloodblade Thieves" and "Bloodblade Mercenaries" for quite a while. After a while, he was the first to react.

Isn't the set of things that Midi handed over to the three of them the same set in the army?

Moreover, only the most elite army may have so many requirements on details.

"Soldiers can't say it. The key is to cooperate with each other and see the overall situation." Midi replied lightly.

Cooperation consciousness?

Big picture?
Isn't it just collecting black crystal plants?

Is it necessary to do this?
All of a sudden, the three of them who were used to the selection mode in the arena in the Underdark had these few questions in their minds involuntarily.

At the same time, they also suddenly felt that Midi might have made a big deal out of a molehill.

Of course, so far, Midi hasn't made any mistakes, so these three people didn't express these questions after all.However, their expressions have already explained everything.

For the doubts of the companions, Midi didn't explain, just smiled, and started the task directly.

No matter how much it is said now, it is meaningless. A real sharp blade will only show its sharpness after being tempered by fresh blood.

The same is true of the knowledge that Midi taught the three of them.

Soon, Midi was in the middle, Mason was on the west side, and Ruisen was on the east side. The three of them started to explore in three different directions like three arrows off the string.

In the middle road where Midi is located, there were not many black crystal plants at the beginning, but the farther away from the Dragon Temple, the higher the density of black crystal plants became.

Gradually, more and more black crystal grass began to grow everywhere, just like ordinary grass.

Even the black crystal flower is no longer a rare plant, but two or three can be seen everywhere.

Generally speaking, the weight of a black crystal grass can allow Midi to stay in Crystal Dragon Castle for one more day, and the black crystal flower can last even longer.

In other words, a black crystal grass is probably worth 100 to 150 black flame coins.

And a black crystal flower can be worth 400 to 500 black flame coins.

If one entered the depths of the forest, one might be able to see even bigger black crystal plants than these.

Midi couldn't help but have such speculations.

Soon, just as he thought, a thick black crystal vine appeared in front of Midi.

It climbed directly on a towering red and black tree, looking like a black cobra.

The size of this black crystal vine is much bigger than the black crystal grass and black crystal flower, and Midi's heart is also slightly moved.

However, just as he stopped to collect this black crystal vine, he suddenly felt a warning sign in his heart.

Midi immediately turned on the psychic ability "half scene sensing" with all his strength, allowing the psychic energy to scan back and forth within a radius of [-] meters.

Soon, he discovered that there was a real poisonous snake hidden in the shadow of the black crystal vine.

This poisonous snake is about four meters long, curled up like a spring, its whole body is as hard as steel, its black scales completely absorb the surrounding light, its eyes are completely devoid of light, and even its murderous intent is extremely concealed.

There are no herbivores in this black crystal forest at all, so it is impossible for this poisonous snake to be hunting.

The only possibility is that the poisonous snake is drawing power from the black crystal vine, just like Midi used the black crystal vine to strengthen the black dragon Canling.

If it grows to this size, will it become something with a master?
Midi couldn't help feeling in his heart, it seems that no matter where he goes, good things will always be taken by people or monsters.

However, a poisonous snake, especially a poisonous snake whose position has been exposed, obviously cannot trouble Midi.

With the help of half-scene induction, Midi skillfully circled behind the poisonous snake, and then chopped it down with a sword.

Even though the metal scales of this venomous snake have extremely high defense, however, they cannot form an effective defense in front of Midi today.

A spark splashed, followed by scorching snake blood. This poisonous snake, which was trying to sneak up on Midi, was cut into two pieces.

"Very strong." Midi gave an evaluation.

The power of the poisonous snake is stronger than most of the monsters in the Underdark. Although it is not as powerful as the overlord of the Dreadclaw Scorpion, it should not be underestimated.

At least, no matter how many "worker bees" come, they will not be its opponents.

Moreover, compared with the crystallized monster in the crystal forest above, this snake is obviously stronger.

After writing down this information, Midi didn't waste time to extract the power from the black crystal vine, but continued to accelerate forward.

Along the way, he discovered more black crystal vines, and of course, more black crystal monsters followed.
