"Lappy."

After solving the first problem, Rhode turned to Labis.

"Since the work of magic weapons has come to an end, I will put it aside for now. As Marin said, there is not much money to mass-produce now. But I will take out some funds to maintain the mass-producing plan of magic weapons that will not be frozen. During this period, I hope you can combine the part of the ancient magic knowledge handed over to you by Marin to create a power device and magic furnace that is more in line with our needs."

The civilization of Dragon Soul Continent is actually not behind, otherwise products like magic cannons and floating warships would not be created. The core of them is the power device mainly composed of magic furnaces. Like the mysterious balls, these are absolute secrets of the country. The magic furnace is stimulated and released powerful magic power through magic crystals, and is driven by magic arrays and magic devices. However, because the size of the magic furnace is too large, it is inconvenient to carry. As for the creation of magic furnaces

, it is even more difficult. Even in the middle and late stages of the game, players can only improve the magic furnace. As for the design drawings of the magic furnace, it is a rare and rare existence. In the entire game, only five guilds, including Rhodes, have related manufacturing drawings of the magic furnace, and the drawings will disappear directly after being bound and learned. It is precisely because of this that in the game, there have never been few battles between players around the manufacturing technology of the magic furnace.

Now, Marin awakened as one of the six pillars of demon gods, and naturally possessed the magic technology knowledge of ancient times. Until he listened to Marin's story, Rhode discovered that in the ancient times, the magic technology of the Void Dragon was extremely developed, and even compared to the earth where he was located in its utilization. Unfortunately, with the invasion of chaos and the destruction of the entire country, the Void Dragon Kingdom, which is regarded as the center of the magic civilization, completely disappeared into history. As for the magic technology mastered by various countries now, most of the magic technology mastered by the Void Dragon Kingdom was rebuilt on the remaining bits of the Void Dragon Kingdom before. Perhaps only the Night Kingdom is an exception. Because according to Marin, the Night Kingdom seems to have its own unique magic system, and does not use the design of this magic furnace...

After learning that Marlene had this kind of technical information, Rhode decisively asked her to activate the skill of [Gift of Knowledge] and put all the knowledge and information about the core magic of the Dragon Kingdom in Void into Labis's head. In this way, Labis can immediately master the wonderful magic techniques of ancient times. If she can use them skillfully and create them, Rhode is sure that the revival of his territory is just around the corner.

I have to say that the wave ss template is indeed good.

"Okay... sir."

After hearing Rhode's order, Labis was obviously a little reluctant. However, she nodded. Labis is no longer the timid little girl who always likes to hide behind others. After following Rhode for so long, she gradually matured. Labis is not fighting alone, and the problem of insufficient alchemists has gradually been solved. In addition to the students brought by Marlene, the sea elves around Labis who are responsible for assisting her have gradually mastered many alchemy skills. It is no problem to be an assistant for Labis. Therefore, Labis does not need to spend a few nights alone to make magical equipment and props to be used by everyone like before. Now she is more like a researcher than a simple maker.

"As for other aspects, An, I will leave it to you to deal with. I don't want to interfere with the slightest matters of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, but you have to remember that they are not kind-hearted. Of course, we cannot openly turn against them. You can negotiate with them on those unimportant trading conditions first. But don't go too far and report the progress of the negotiation to me and Marlene at any time. Do you understand?"

Perhaps Marin and An didn't know what the Chamber of Commerce Alliance was going to do, but Rhodes knew very well that the Chamber of Commerce Alliance itself was an independent city. It was known as the "country of business". The Chamber of Commerce Alliance included many territories and principalities on the Continent of Light. On the surface, it was like the Mercenary Association, an organization dedicated to serving specific groups. However, Rhodes knew very well that the Chamber of Commerce Alliance was not as pure as the Mercenary Association. Merchants had money, and once they had money, they could not stay idle, and the consequence of being unable to stay idle is the expectation of power and status that money could not get. The ultimate goal of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance was to become a truly independent country like the French Kingdom.

It is also because of this that when Rhodes heard that the Chamber of Commerce Alliance came to his door with such thoughtfulness, he guessed the other party's plan - it was obvious that the Chamber of Commerce Alliance planned to borrow chickens to lay eggs and control their territory to make their Void Corps the real "business country" they dreamed of.

Rhodes definitely refused to agree to this. The ultimate goal of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is to control the commercial trade of the entire continent. In this way, they will have a conflict with the French Kingdom, which has already controlled the economic circulation of the entire continent. If they rely solely on the Chamber of Commerce Alliance itself, they will definitely not be able to fight against the French Kingdom. But if they borrowed Rhodes' east wind, they might have the courage - and Rhodes himself has no interest in being beaten with the twin dragons as a gun. Perhaps in most people's eyes, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is just an alliance formed by ordinary and kind chambers of commerce. But for Rhodes, they are not that simple.

"Then the matter was decided. Perhaps as Marlene said, we would be very hard at first, but it would be much better than being controlled by others. Then next…………”

Speaking of this, Rhodes's face suddenly sank slightly, and a cold chill appeared on his face.

"Let's talk about the Land of Light and Highlands."

When they heard this, the people who were a little tired and listless just now immediately restrained their expressions and looked at Rhodes seriously. For them, this was much easier than those problems such as economic and internal decisions that they had not understood before.

After Rhode unfolded the wall of absolute order, his void dragon soul protection gradually spread and stabilized the middle area that was originally blurred because of its border with Chaos. Among them, two places attracted Rhode's attention, namely "Silver Sail Port" and "Highland City", whose geographical location was somewhat similar to the land of atonement. Before Rhode opened up the land of chaos, both places were in a difficult situation between the Dragon Soul of Light and Chaos. After Rhode opened up the land of chaos, the originally vague order was fixed, and their lives became much better.

.Not only that. From a geographical point of view, the Port of Silver Sail and Highlands are both very important to Rhodes. One of them is the important maritime transportation route that grasps the Void Territory and the Kingdom of Light, and the other is located behind the boundary between the Void Territory and the Kingdom of Light. For Rhodes, controlling these two places is equivalent to controlling the connection and blockade of the Kingdom of Light. Because after unfolding the Wall of Absolute Order, Rhodes sent envoys to both places. According to the regulations of the Law of Creation, they who enjoy the protection of the Dragon Soul surrender to themselves, and they will provide them with corresponding protection.

Originally, Rhodes thought this should be foolproof, because before the protection of the dragon soul of the void was unfolded, these two places were not well received by the Light. They were even regarded as exile areas for sinners. The Land of Light had never cared about these two places, but instead exploited and oppressed them in every way. According to Rhodes's idea, these two places that were bullied by the Land of Light should be happy to accept their requests.

But Rhodes only guessed half of it. Silver Sail Port expressed a very warm response to Rhodes' statement. On the contrary, Highlands' reaction was completely beyond Rhodes' expectations. They firmly rejected Rhodes' request and were unwilling to surrender to him. Moreover, the Land of Light heard the wind from somewhere and began to move.

"Lord, since the other party is unwilling to surrender, then let them die for themselves. What do you care about it? There are not enough things in our territory now."

Hearing Rhodes' words, Thor couldn't help but frown and said. However, this time, before Rhodes could speak, Marlin had already refuted.

"This is impossible. Now Highland City is under the protection of the Dragon Soul of the Void, according to the law of creation. Any city under the protection of the Dragon Soul is under the control of the Dragon Soul. If we acknowledge its independence, then wouldn't anyone come to us to build a city and then declare himself unruly? Not to mention anything else, if we allow such a thing to happen, what would other people under our protection think?"

"But now, the Kingdom of Light doesn't seem to be planning to give up."

Qilian sat on the chair, squinted her eyes with a smile, and stretched out a finger to swing.

"They claimed to support Highlands and strongly condemn our actions, and even said that in order to maintain the freedom and independence of Highlands, they would take all methods to support Highlands' independence."

"If Annie wants to say, just fight! Let them taste our power, and they will know who they should listen to."

Annie frowned and answered dissatisfiedly.

"But...will others think we are a little too... because we are disobedient, so I don't think it's good..."

Lijie opened her mouth and blinked her eyes, and a little concern appeared on her face. But Anne next to her obviously scoffed at it.

"What does this matter, Lijie. Since the other party does not intend to surrender, he should give him some cruelty. Just like last year, after His Highness Litia defeated the group of idiots in the South Reformed Group, do you see that they are not obedient now? Annie thinks that the disobedient child should be beaten, and he will be obedient if he knows that he is hurt."

Hearing Anne's words, Lijie sighed and wanted to say something, but in the end she gave up helplessly. It was obvious that she also thought Anne's words were not unreasonable. But......... Marlene obviously had a different view on this.

"It is not a good thing for the territory to start another battle now. At present, most of the Void Territory are refugees, and they yearn for a peaceful life. If we provoke another battle at this time, no matter how much time we spend to win, it will make the people who have finally settled and calm will become nervous again. Therefore, I do not recommend using this method, or it should be put to the end. Moreover, it is not yet certain whether the Highland City has the same opinion on this, and we need to investigate it carefully..."

"That's what it's decided."

Hearing this, Rhode raised his hand and interrupted Marlene's speech.

"I will take people to investigate the Highland City and then see what to do next. I always feel that there must be the damn Council of Light behind this matter, and things may not be that simple."

"You are going to go in person? Rhodes?"

Facing Rhode's words, Marin showed a embarrassed expression.

"Your status is not as good as before. If you want to go there in person, then... it will easily cause problems."

"You don't need to worry about this, Marlene."

Hearing Marlene's words, Rhode raised his eyebrows and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Although I said I would go there in person, I never said that I would go there as 'Rod. Elrant'." (To be continued.
