Chapter Seven Hundred and Thirty: Thunder Can't Cover Your Ears
"Tell me." Xia He didn't like people who kept him in hiding, and he didn't touch the wooden box.
Changli smiled and said, "The first thing is of course my Lord brings down the grace of God and thanks you for the transaction between you and the temple. In this box is the thanks from the temple, so please accept it."
"Then I'll take it." Xia He heard that he was thanking the deal, so he made a bend in the middle. It was not a contribution to the temple, so he was willing to take it.
The wooden box was opened, and there was an ancient scroll inside, which was sallow and yellow in color, and the divine patterns on it were a bit intermittent. It should have been of high level before, but now it is only legendary. This is an antique, and even if it is damaged, the breath will not leak at all.
"In this, a sleeping morning giant sealed, it is already very weak, but it still has the power of a demigod. If you can summon it once, the scroll will never be able to be used again."
"Thank you, what's the second thing?"
Changli took a map, spread it out, and said, "I want to build a second large temple in this location. I need your help. The third thing is also related to this."
"Then let's talk about it together."
"Look, these two locations are a little closer, less than a hundred miles away. Going east, you will go deeper into the continent. The location is even higher than the city of the Emperor of the Arcane Empire."
Xia He looked at the map and found that there were indeed no mountainous areas in front of these two locations. It looked like two small nests sunken among the mountains.
"You occupy one, and the temple stands one. Before the emperor of the Arcane Empire issued an attack order, we do not become enemies of each other, and can support each other. The temple's army is enough, but it is not equipped enough. I hope you can provide logistics."
"How can you count on me?" Xia He smiled.
"It's not counting on you, it's a business anyway, and you may need to consume a lot of resources to provide us with equipment."
"Okay, I agree." Xia He was straightforward and there was a vague expectation in his heart.
Changli smiled and said, "Then I will send you another message. The locations of our two are a huge mining area."
“Mine area!”
"Yes, there are many kinds of mines, and I can't believe it. I think the place occupied by His Majesty the Emperor is the same. This location will reach his area a few hundred miles south. If he frees up his hands, it will not be our turn, right?"
"What mines are there?"
Changli drew a line on the map and said, "No matter what mine, we are half of each person."
"Do you have the ability to mine?"
"No, so I have to ask for your help. The temple is willing to pay 20%."
"30%."
"Trade." Changli agreed happily, and Xia He even suspected that he would be less. However, it was normal to think about it. Whether the temple could be mined continuously is a question. Grasp the benefits first, do nothing, and you can get 70% out of thin air. If you were yourself, you could agree.
"But my mining progress will be faster than yours, and I will give priority to production."
"No problem, the mining power you invested is seven and three." Changli was easy to talk. After he finished speaking, he rolled up the map and handed it to Xia He.
Xia He took the map, turned around and left.
That location is really important, but the emperor advanced eastward and there was a canyon for him, but he didn't have it. Although the mountainous area in that location was not that wide, it only looked more than 300 miles away.
From this point of view, the best place is to be occupied by His Majesty the Emperor!
A cunning bastard, I won’t say such good things!
Xia He returned to the Iron Mine Castle, immediately contacted Sun City, sent a list, and asked them to prepare all the supplies within three days and transfer them to the semi-plane.
Then Xia He contacted Storm Corner again and asked Freya to design something for her, which would take three days to complete. All the requirements were passed on, and Freya agreed to the word "六" without replying to anything else.
Outside the iron mine, a large army was stationed, and Xia He invited all the senior officials to come over and talked about the Temple of Chenxi.
Jack cotton looked at the map and said, "There is another reason why the temple is willing to pay so much, because we are sandwiched between the temple and the imperial emperor, which is a buffer."
"The temple has money." Xia He replied.
Everyone has no other opinions. It is best to make money from the temple.
Xia He didn't care about the growth of the Lord of Morning Light's divine power. No matter how it grows, it was not as powerful as the Dao Palace. If the Lord of Morning Light was afraid, he would not have to face the Dao Palace in the future.
"Okay, Alisa, you bring people here. At this location, every fifty miles, build a mechanical fortress. Don't rush to deal with the demons, just defend the enemy. Take all the mechanical soldiers and arrange the defense line, and you're there."
"yes."
"The rest of the people... let's find a way to cross the three hundred miles of mountainous areas. This is a difficult march. Now, set out!"
Xia He did not consider the issue of rest and made direct orders to set off.
He came over, and the demons were not prepared yet. If he went deep into the inland, it would immediately cause the demons to rebound. The earlier he passed, the better. As the preparation time was longer, the demons would have more time to prepare.
"What about us?" Qiu Xuanji asked.
"The castle here also needs to be expanded, but don't be too anxious. I will leave half of the city defense force. In the future, your army can focus on field battles."
"Yes." Qiu Xuanji doesn't care. He is not so eager to fight. Anyway, he has left people and equipment for him and has a task, he will do it properly.
Xia He did not set off immediately, and he asked Cotton Jack to lead the army to march eastward.
In other words, all his army is structured and mechanized, and the soldiers are all professionals. In the past, when the proportion of professionals in this world was not so high, many people would die in the mountainous area. In that mountainous area, there were still a large number of monsters moving.
Jack cotton crossed the last mountain first and saw the narrow plain in front of him. From the picture conveyed back by the floating airship, there was a huge deep pit on the ground where the plain gradually opened. How big is it? If he flew up, he could see it at this position, a hundred miles away.
This deep pit is 1,200 meters in radius and has a depth of more than 200 meters. Xiahe is flying above the deep pit, and Cotton Jack can't even imagine how he made this thing.
Xia He was also very satisfied. He came first and first checked the surrounding minerals. As expected, it was astonishing as the temple said. It was mainly metal ore, but there were also gem ore, distributed in mountains and plains. The location he chose was a jade ore, with super high quality but very small scale.
Xiahe was digging a pit, not to pick jade, he wanted to build a huge building here - the Tower of Tongtian.
The ground of Tongtian Tower is 1,000 meters high, and there must be a foundation deep enough to accommodate a huge magic array. Otherwise, it will collapse after being hit by a few times by a demigod or even a legend.
This Tongtian Tower guards the main road entering the mining area. Even if it is a legend, it will be attacked when passing by nearby.
Xia He's plan is to use the Tower of Heaven as the rear, accumulate materials, continuously expand the strength of the robots, and engage in a long-term war with the demons.
After all, it still requires a lot of loss to use materials from the semi-plane. It costs a lot of money to open the semi-plane channel once.
He can't do the violent soldiers of the demon clan, but he can create mechanical soldiers. This time Alisha came here, and there was also a battalion of troops in the First Field Legion, which were intelligent mechanical lives. These intelligent mechanical lives, or combat power, are similar to humans, but the ability to command ordinary robot warriors is not comparable to that of humans.
A smart mechanical life can command thousands of robot warriors.
Freya's drawings have arrived. Xia He has arranged a magic circle in the deep pit. A large number of magicians have been mobilized to open the semi-plane channel and run the materials out.
There are not many demons in this place, and their main forces are concentrated around the city of His Majesty the Emperor.
The demons did not expect that an army of more than 200,000 people would suddenly appear, crossing the mountainous area of 300 miles. And they didn't know what the meaning of doing so.
All the magicians were devoted to the construction of the Tongtian Tower. Xia He himself was not idle. The core magic array of the Tongtian Tower was refined by him. It was just the first day that the entire foundation was laid. The floating airship was in a distance to detect no traces of the activities of the demon army.
Xiahe did not rest and continued to accumulate.
The Tower of Tongtian is 1,200 meters high, with a staircase for every 100 meters, just like something like Mount Vajra. Each staircase will shrink inward, and in fact, the diameter of the uppermost layer is only 100 meters.
Xia He didn't consider the cost much this time. As long as the surrounding mines can be mined for one year, all the capital will be back.
There are many sculpted golems arranged on the Tower of Heaven, which exist in the form of sculptures. They absorb the energy dissipated by the magic array on weekdays and can slowly advance.
When the Tower of Tongtian was completed, Xia He stood on the highest level and looked down, and was shocked.
Because it took only ten days before and after, the magic building 1,200 meters high was completed. Although it was necessary to continue to strengthen and refine, the pillar of Tongtian at the core had been completed and this thing would not be poured out unless the formation deep in the earth was completely destroyed.
It is not the Tower of Tongtian that maintains the balance of this pillar, but the Tower of Tongtian that takes root on the earth.
The technology is not novel. In the world of Shen Zhou, there are many strong people, and there are inevitably mental illnesses, criminals, etc., and no skyscraper has been destroyed.
Xia He also took advantage of the ready-made chaotic barrier technology, not to open up space, but to use it for defense. Every brick and stone on the outside of the Tongtian Tower is an independent chaotic barrier. Even if the legendary magic is bombarded, it will not cause a chain reaction. This is like a watertight cabin of a warship, a defensive means to diversify risks.
If a legendary battle really occurs, the Tower of Heaven will not be able to be repaired.
On the fifteenth day, the demon army arrived late and broke through Alisha's mechanical fortress defense line and rushed to the newly built Tower of Heaven.
There were not many human soldiers in the mechanical fortress defense line, all of which were robots, and Xia He didn't expect to defend anyone. It was enough to block the demon army for half a day.
