Chapter 398: The Dark Days Last Forever, and the End Is Near

"Good day, Lord."

In the castle's backyard, a circular roof was built in the spacious courtyard.

This place is specially used to store various extraordinary materials, all of which are extracted by Anna using her own abilities.

At this moment, Ekvira was walking in the shed.

In Li Zhongren's words, Iris City has a lot of work to do and there is no time to immerse yourself in research, but instead you have to use whatever you have, build up the framework first, and have enough economic circulation before considering research.

She didn't quite understand this. After all, she was just an alchemist, not a politician.

However, based on the description given by her lord, she felt that it was quite reasonable.

That is, the most important thing is not how far you go, but that you take the first step.

In fact, what Aikovira didn't know was that the way Li Zhongren built Iris City was actually inspired by his own motherland in his previous life.

At that time, our motherland produced two bombs and one satellite.

In a sense, it is equivalent to obtaining a golden finger and declaring to the outside world that you are a legendary witch.

Gained a stable and safe zone for development.

Then he exported cheap labor to earn foreign exchange and absorbed nutrition to make up for his own shortcomings. After reaching a certain level, he began a series of plans. Finally, before he crossed over, he had almost completed catching up with the West.

The same goes for me.

Now Li Zhongren would not expect to come up with something magical all of a sudden. He did have the list given to him by Li Harry in his mind, but many of them required him to further understand the local extraordinary rules before he could convert them.

Therefore, what Li Zhongren has to do now is to find something that can be mass-produced and is closely related to his supply of raw materials.

"Right now, the most abundant extraordinary raw material produced in Iris City is this kind of water of life."

After Li Zhongren's introduction, Aquavira saw some liquids in bottles neatly arranged on one side.

Emerald green, with a faint glow.

"These were extracted by Anna from the forest. You know, there are huge, dense forests on both sides of Iris City."

“It blocks the expansion of Iris City, but it is also a rich resource.”

"Moreover, legally, that place also belongs to my territory."

"So Anna used her flames to burn the forest, and as a result, she was able to extract this liquid. Its function is very simple. After drinking it, it can nourish the human body with life elements. However, the concentration is very low, and there are many impurities in it. Therefore, if you want to use it efficiently, you still need to make it into a product."

"What do you think you would do if I hadn't come?"

Echovira opened a bottle and poured some into her mouth.

In an instant, a cool feeling swept over my body, and most of my fatigue disappeared. It was obvious that this thing must have been added to the coffee I drank yesterday.

"A cheering potion."

Li Zhongren spoke.

"A potion that can speed up the healing of injuries after taking it. Take a look at this. This is the product design."

Li Zhongren handed Aikovira a piece of parchment, which was not a recipe but more like an instruction manual.

"Broken bones can heal themselves?"

Ekvira didn't find the previous things about accelerated healing very strange, as she could also make similar potions. However, the self-healing of broken bones scared her. There was no doubt that this was no longer a regular potion.

The potion speeds up the healing process at a microscopic level. If you are injured, you have to clean the wound, sew it up, and then drink the potion. Otherwise, your wound will become twisted and so will your bones.

Broken bones, especially comminuted fractures, are the most difficult to heal because it is so difficult to align the bones.

"It contains a special spell that can temporarily restore the state of the injured part, providing an opportunity for the potion to heal."

In fact, what Li Zhongren was talking about was the spell to repair everything.

If this spell is combined with the invigorating potion, it can achieve an invincible effect, and no matter what the injury is, as long as the person is still alive, it can be cured immediately.

"call"

Echovira took a deep breath.

"My Lord, in terms of potions, there is no problem for you to produce this. The knowledge left by my husband is totally incomparable to yours, at least until you need other products now."

“But its production volume is not good.”

Li Zhongren said with a smile.

"The most difficult part of producing this kind of potion is the integration of the spell. Aren't you good at mechanical alchemy?"

"So, I hope you can design a production line to automate the entire alchemy process. You should understand what I mean."

"As a lord, I don't want to sit in the alchemy workshop every day to do alchemy."

"Ahem, but, my Lord."

Ekvira raised her head and stared at Li Zhongren with her pair of blue eyes.

"If that's the case, you need to tell me the formula of this potion. I mean, tell me completely."

"Well, of course."

"Eh?"

“Why, you can betray me, but do you dare to betray Ms. Anna?”

"Haha, that's true."

Ekvira was slightly stunned, and then laughed dryly a few times.

"That's it. I'll have my butler send all the relevant things to you. Money, people, resources, everything will be handed over to you. It's starting from scratch anyway, so just work hard."

"Don't worry, Lord. I will never let you down or betray Ms. Anna's trust!"
-
Inaris
A trading city.

Because its geographical location is very advantageous.

It is at the end of the Steam Lake, but behind it is a famous river.

Naga River.

This river has a long history, starting from the Golden Plains in the east, a major grain-producing area known as the granary of Faerun, and flowing southwest into the Falling Star Sea, the largest inland sea in the world of Faerun and also one of the two most developed trade sites in the continent of Faerun.

Therefore, the Lord of Inaris dug a canal connecting the Steam Lake and the Naga River.

Since then, the city of Inaris has become a very important trading city.

Of course, this was a long time ago.

Later, the city fell into chaos.

The indigenous sect here, a solar cult that believed in light, was massacred, and replaced by Priestov, the infamous legendary wizard in the world of Faerun, who possessed the blood of the element of fire. Of course, this was not innate to him, but was transplanted by himself.

Yes, everyone hates witches, but everyone also envies witches.

The one whom I envy the most is the magician. As a pioneer in scientific research, how could he not study witches?

Among the many mages, Priestov is the one who is at the forefront.

He was not the first wizard to transplant blood into his own body, but he was the most successful one.

Let him gain more powerful strength.

It possesses the wisdom and precision of arcane spells, as well as the ferocity and range of fire spells.

Of course, the price is that his mental state seems to be unstable.

Therefore, under his rule, Inaris gradually became an evil place.

As long as you have enough money, you can buy anything in this city, and you can also sell anything in this city. "Master, this is about it."

In the city of Inaris, in the castle where the lord lives.

The atmosphere is extremely depressing.

A man tremblingly answered the man sitting on the throne.

"Jack was lucky to survive, and was also lucky to be occupied by the witch in his own territory, so your plan cannot go on. After all, that is the legendary witch."

"Legendary witch."

Priestov tilted his head and supported his chin with one hand. Through his skin, one could seem to see that what was flowing in his veins was not blood, but burning lava.

What came out of his mouth was not carbon dioxide, but a pungent gas mixed with the smell of sulfur.
It's indeed a trouble.

After a long time, Priestov had to admit that even he, when facing the legendary witch, dared to say that he could defeat her, but did not dare to say that he could kill her.

This is the legend.

"So, our plan to expand our territory westward has been interrupted?"

"In theory, yes."

The man leaned forward again and answered cautiously.

This is a fact. Even if they have a powerful master, they dare not openly invade the territory of the border kingdom, even if this kingdom is actually just a country on the north shore of Steam Lake. In this world, the prerequisite for becoming a country is that your family has a legendary strongman, otherwise you are not qualified to sit at the table.

Therefore, his master planned to kill Lord Jack's entire family, support a puppet to take power, and secretly control this place.

It sounds a little unbelievable.

Iris City is just a small town, and a closed small town at that. How could it be worth its owner's efforts to occupy it?

This is what he couldn't understand.

However, he only knew to obey, and he did not ask other questions that he should not ask, nor did he dare to ask.
"Go down."

"Yes, Master."

"legend."

"legend."

In the room, Prisdorf was muttering.

"In seven days, awaken and become a legendary witch?"

"Is there really such a thing in this world?"

He couldn't help but think so.

If it is a true legend, then there is nothing to say. My plan is stillborn. After all, if legends are so easy to target, then the world would not be like this. In a sense, the world at the moment is still just a local regional war. Legends are the core. Only when all the legends of a country have fallen, will a real war break out in that country.
Even though he had the confidence to deal with the legendary wizard, he only dared to do it secretly, because once exposed, he would become the target of public criticism.

After a long time, Priestov's body suddenly turned into lava and fell to the ground through the cracks around the throne. After an unknown amount of time, it turned into a human shape again.

At the deepest part of the underground, a statue suddenly stood up.

If there were anyone who was well versed in the history of Faerun, they would exclaim in amazement.

Dark Sun Goddess
This is one of the most powerful gods in the history of Faerun.

Possesses the power of destruction and death.

Later, the human coalition was besieged by the entire Faerun and paid a heavy price to shatter the divinity of the Dark Sun Goddess.

However, the statue exuding divine charm proved one thing: the god who once caused a catastrophe that swept across the entire Faerun seemed to have returned.
Walking up to the statue, Priestov slowly knelt down and put his hands together in prayer.

"Praise be to God."

"Ring the death knell once!"

"Let the ripples of death shake the void, and let the dry bones rise up to serve as your royal court!"

"Ring the death knell twice!"

"Ignite the black flames, burn away the remaining hope, and condense the sighs into the crystallization of the entropy core!"

"Ring the bell three times!"

"Recite the true name together, kneel down in the eternal night, the dark day lasts forever, and the end is coming!"

As Priestov finished his prayer, the god's eyes began to shine.

Faintly, it seemed that the statue lowered its head slightly and looked at Priestov.

"My Lord, our plan has run into problems. A legend is blocking our way."

"buzz"

After a long time, a beam of light shone down, accompanied by a piece of paper that fell in a zigzag pattern in the air.
Another month has passed.

Everything is on track.

The expansion of the outer city is still in progress and has already begun to take shape. After all, steel bars and cement are so easy to use.

In Ekvira, the Iris City Alchemy Workshop was also established, recruiting a large number of apprentices. With Li Zhongren's unsparing investment, these people established perception of psychic energy through potions, allowing them to initially use the most basic alchemy.

It's not very useful, but it can serve as an assistant.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand. It is just like that people can only take the next step after seeing something. It is a truth.

The most important technical content here is "seeing". To say something offensive, even if you are sweeping the streets, you still need a pair of eyes.

However, alchemy is ultimately a more technically demanding art. Therefore, according to Ekvira's calculations, even if the entire workshop is completely controlled by her, it would take half a year for it to really get up and running.

Li Zhongre didn't care about this. He was making a lot of money just by selling various extraordinary materials every day.

Enough to keep Iris City running.

However, Li Zhongren did not forget.

The matter of his death.

In fact, during this period of time, he focused most of his energy on investigating the cause of death of his predecessor.

However, maybe it was because too much time had passed, or maybe the other party was too clean.

To be frank, he didn't find any clues.

Then, he decided to change his mind.

That is, if the entire family of the previous incarnation died, who would be the biggest beneficiary?

You know, my previous life's family didn't have any distant relatives. If they all died, the bloodline would be completely cut off.

Then, the clue ended here again.

That means there is no beneficiary.

In other words, the beneficiary is the border kingdom, and they will send a new lord here.

This is the problem. This is meaningless. I have paid a lot of taxes. This place is not a battleground, and there are no special resources.

Well, let's just wait silently. Anyway, it seems that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, but in fact, the enemy is in the light and we are in the dark.

If the other party can't help it, he will definitely attack again.

Although the probability of such an event should be small, if the other party has any brains, they probably won't provoke a territory ruled by a legendary witch.
