Chapter 291 Revenge (1)
Chapter 291 Revenge (1)
Luna and Sylvia have been looking for a suitable place to house the monsters they have collected from all over the place, and they plan to train them all into soldiers.
But there was no suitable place for them to do such a thing near the imperial capital.
And once discovered, it will cause many serious problems.
So Lyon asked the artificial intelligences to explore and map the current map.
On the west side of the continent, across the sea from the Elf Empire, there is a large group of islands.
The place has been deserted for nearly a hundred years due to the rampant monsters. Now it has been occupied by Luna and Sylvia and used as the base of the "New Demon King's Army".
By the way, Luna and Sylvia also asked the artificial intelligence Hestia to transform those monsters to be more like humans, so that the Demon King's army can operate in the human world in the future. Hestia seems to like this job very much...
Alfred hopes that they won't ask these artificial intelligences to do strange things in the future.
It would be troublesome if Hestia was taught badly and turned into a mad scientist.
"Is that so... Then let's use them to severely retaliate against those damn bastards who attacked Erica and hurt Vivian."
Alfred said fiercely.
If possible, he really wanted to rush to the imperial capital right now, drag out that bastard Duke Philip of Leopold, and torture him to death in the streets of the imperial capital.
But that bastard is, after all, the most influential duke in the empire.
If he and his scumbag followers were killed at random, the entire empire might fall into chaos.
It is possible that the Annu Cult could take advantage of the chaos in the empire and invade again...
It is not a wise move to get rid of Duke Leopold now, but that does not mean Alfred will not do anything.
He will definitely make those idiots pay the price for their stupid behavior.
?◇?◇?◇?◇?
—A certain unfortunate magic researcher—
"The new batch of goods that arrived today looks pretty good. These slaves may be able to summon some decent puppets from the Pseudo-Life Gate this time."
A researcher wearing single-frame gold-rimmed glasses spoke to his companions in a somewhat pretentious manner.
The two of them are currently located in a secret laboratory sponsored by the Duke of Opold's family, located underground in the capital of the Duke of Opold's territory.
The main research direction of this large laboratory is the structure of puppets, and how to mass-produce puppets with high rarity and basic talent values, and apply them in the military field.
Every Duke of Opold has dreamed of using powerful puppets to create an invincible army one day.
The name Opold itself is almost synonymous with ambition.
The puppets studied by these researchers come from two main sources. One is various rare puppets secretly shipped from the black market, which are used for unmanned control experiments or anatomical research.
Another source is to directly abduct civilians with talent in puppeteering, or to purchase talented slaves from the black market and force them to constantly use the Pseudo-Gate of Life to summon puppets.
Excessive summoning of puppets can cause serious damage to the summoner himself.
Most of the people brought here will experience extremely cruel treatment, and few will be lucky enough to survive for more than three years.
"Ah, Senior, you are really too serious. Let me tell you, the chick sent last time was really good. Not only is her face very pretty, but her waist is also very pretty. You really should go and enjoy it."
The frivolous younger junior with glasses suggested with a dumbfounded expression.
"I advise you to be careful. That fat and pig-brained deputy director has a serious STD. If you play with the women he has had, be careful to get infected."
The man with glasses complained speechlessly.
So the younger generation is the younger generation. They have been in this laboratory for a while, but they don’t even know this common sense.
"No, no way... doesn't that guy have ED? How can he still get up?"
The younger generation was skeptical about what the man with glasses said.
But judging from his expression, he was probably already scared.
This junior is going to get married next month, and the man with glasses really wants to give him a piece of advice that he should be careful with his words and actions even if he is having affairs outside.
Otherwise, his wife’s family will find fault with him and he will never be able to hold his head up in front of them for the rest of his life.
The man with glasses knew an aristocrat in the past who angered his wife, who came from a more wealthy family, because he had too many lovers outside.
In order to reconcile with the other party's family, the noble even ceded one-third of his territory, but in the end it was cut in half by his wife with a pair of scissors.
It is said that the nobleman's wife also said something like, even if you are a little kid now, I will not despise you, so you can't go out and look for women... Although it sounds a bit like an urban legend, it is also quite scary.
Just imagining it, the man with glasses would feel a chill in his crotch.
As a senior, the man with glasses felt that he needed to remind the juniors.
But this junior has become accustomed to being free and unfettered, and will probably just turn a deaf ear to the advice.
"I don't know about that, but it's true that guy has STD."
The man with glasses shrugged his shoulders and turned his attention to the batch of slaves that were delivered.
There were two men and three women in total, all under the age of twenty.
According to past experience, these five slaves should be able to perform nearly a thousand puppet summons.
The probability of summoning a puppet of B-level or higher racial rarity is about 7%, which is enough to complete this month's quota.
Their leader, Duke Philip of Leopold, has been frustrated in the palace recently and is secretly planning to expand his armaments.
He also asked this secret laboratory to regularly deliver a batch of puppets for military use.
If the quota is not completed, it will not be a matter of just getting criticized and having some salary deducted.
If I'm lucky, I'll just be kicked out of this secret laboratory.
If you are unlucky, your colleagues might treat you as a research subject and push you onto the dissection table...
The man with glasses pushed his gold-rimmed glasses again and breathed a sigh of relief.
At least this month he doesn't have to worry about this or that and can concentrate on his research.
Because of the pressure from above, he suffered from anxiety during this period.
Either they like to push their glasses up and down all the time, or they like to shake their legs while sitting in front of the desk, which greatly affects their work efficiency.
The man with glasses really wanted to point at the heads of those self-righteous senior executives and scold them harshly.
But he was just angry but dared not speak out. At most, he complained vaguely to his colleagues and cursed people like Duke Leopold or that fat-headed and pig-brained supervisor who was cheated on by his wife.
As for the reason for not cursing them to death directly, it is because the researchers like the man with glasses are almost all supported by Duke Opold and others.
If the Duke of Leopold were gone, they would most likely be out of work.
Furthermore, if the upright Duke Christiana's family were to discover this laboratory, everyone here would become wanted criminals.
If caught, they will most likely be sentenced to death and executed.
The man with glasses took out a form and began to register these slaves.
At this time, his younger generation came with a flatbed cart pushing something over.
It was a giant amethyst egg that was over 1.5 meters tall, with many vine-like patterns on its surface.
"this is?"
The man with glasses looked at the huge crystal egg on the tablet and asked his junior.
According to the logistics notification yesterday, only these five slaves should be delivered today.
This crystal egg that exudes a strange aura is not on the list.
In order to avoid being discovered by others, the logistics department was very careful when transporting supplies. For slaves, puppets, or other valuable items, someone would send a list the day before they were sent to the laboratory.
The man with glasses felt a little confused and doubtful.
"I'm not sure either. The people in the logistics department said it was a temporary addition. Well, let me tell you that the girl who just delivered this thing is really super beautiful. And her waist is super thin but very strong. I'm sure she must be first-rate in bed."
The younger generation, who are in the incurable late stage of mental illness, always tell dirty jokes as soon as they open their mouths.
The man with glasses was not interested in the beautiful girl with a nice waist. Instead, he took out a magic device to examine the crystal egg.
He always felt that he had seen this crystal egg somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where it was for the moment.
Just as the man with glasses was carefully examining him, the younger man suddenly turned pale.
"What happened?"
The man with glasses asked his junior with concern.
"Brother Alan, did you see this thing move just now?"
"Huh? Have you gone crazy because of playing with women and drinking? The value of my magic device is not..."
Beep~beep~beep!
The alarm of the magic device sounded, and huge magical power emanated from the crystal egg.
The strength of this magic power is extremely astonishing, almost comparable to that of a dragon.
Just as the man with glasses frantically took out other magic devices and tried to find out what had happened.
The crystal dome cracked in the middle... No, maybe it would be better to say it bloomed.
The crystal eggshell, which was originally extremely hard, suddenly became very soft and opened like a petal.
In the middle of the petals are several plant vines that look like amethyst carvings.
