Reborn: Super God of War

Chapter 227 Negotiating conditions

Lin Jie was completely stunned. The lord of Saint-Malo?

This, this, this... is simply a scam!

Yes, cheating, extremely cheating! Look at the devastated town of Saint-Malo, which is as clear as an unexplored plain! Although towns are naturally several levels higher than first-level territories such as guild residences, it would probably cost hundreds of thousands of gold coins to restore this town with 99% damage!

Lin Jie was certain that Qiu Yuan could not afford this money.

As a lord, if your territory is not in good repair, you will be considered extremely irresponsible and your reputation will be greatly reduced! This NPC is so deceptive!

Qiu Yuan was still in surprise and did not react. The level of the town was much higher than that of villages and garrison territories! Under normal circumstances, gaining control of a small town is a prelude to getting rich!

"Did you see it? Did you see it?" Qiu Yuan put his hands on his hips and said proudly, "Do you think this task is valuable? Sister, I have long expected that the reward of the task will be very high!"

Lin Jie had a wry smile on his face, not knowing what to do.

The master of engineering, Nautilus Saint-Malo, stroked his beard with a smile and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Qiu Yuan's performance! What a cute and good girl, she was sold and paid for it. He said with a look of relief, "Then Saint-Malo will be left to you. I look forward to the day when it will shine again under your hands!"

Qiu Yuan looked serious, "I promise you!"

"Then I'll leave first. If one day you really encounter difficulties, I will show up." Nautilus laughed boldly and planned to leave.

"Stop!" Lin Jie shouted, stopping his castration and saying, "She has been rewarded. What about us?"

Nautilus stroked his beard and smiled kindly, "Young adventurer, what do you want?"

Lin Jie winked, Zheng Ziliang understood, took out the Blue Heart and said respectfully. "I want to create a mechanical life, and I need the help of the master!"

"Oh? Heart of Azure?" Nautilus glanced in surprise, then shook his head, "Creating mechanical life involves the laws of life. You are only an intermediate engineer, and having mechanical life is against the rules. But I promise you, When you are strong enough, I will come and help you with this!"

If it were any other player, I'm afraid they would have been fooled by this NPC's rhetoric. Full of joy, I thought that I had triggered a hidden mission, so I hid the Blue Heart and waited for the NPC to suddenly come and create something awesome for me one day. Only Lin Jie knew that this guy was completely lying!

Nautilus Saint-Malo, the son of the mayor of Saint-Malo town. Only the son of the mayor of Saint-Malo town, which is mainly farming, can read books, practice swordsmanship, and learn magic. Like the natives of the tribes and clans, only the chiefs had the foresight.

Nautilus is the only son of the mayor. Naturally, he was loved and cared for by the whole town. And his genius also delighted the townspeople. It only took him ten years to read the "Chronicle of the Civilization of the Anno Continent". "Sword and Man", "Analysis of Magic Elements" and other books filled the library. When he performed the coming-of-age ceremony, he was already a high-level warrior, a mid-level magician, and a mid-level thief. Renowned in the league!

As a genius, he could not escape the fate of being a middle school student. During a mission, Nautilus saw the extinct "Iron Dwarf" technology - the Demigod Titan! This kind of artificial life created by using the power of laws and natural materials and treasures completely overturned his world view. He began to give up his modest achievements in swordsmanship and magic research, and slowly became an engineer from a beginner.

Although I feel sad that my son is not doing his job properly. But his father still strongly supported him. He purchased various mechanical products from the market at high prices for his son's research, and used the entire town of Saint-Malo as his laboratory. In Saint-Malo at that time, you could see a humanoid steel puppet almost every few steps.

These puppets have absolute power, invincible bodies, and good fighting skills, but they have no... life! No matter how advanced technology is, it cannot give life to these puppets, unless it is a 'law'. He was deeply confused.

As a player, you can't imagine how much the townspeople of this town love the genius Rodilius. They always treat this young man who spends all day and night for science with a smile. One day, Nautilus opened up a piece of soil in Saint-Malo during the 384th experimental explosion and obtained a book that recorded how to absorb "moonlight" in the dark night and turn it into the power of life. . The overjoyed Nautilus sneaked out that night and started experimenting. That night, the moonlight in the town of Saint-Malo was particularly bright.

The next day, Nautilus excitedly announced that no enemy could occupy Saint-Malo! He proudly displayed the mechanical beings that guarded the village - sub-legendary warrior machines, sub-legendary mage turrets, sub-legendary priest robots...

In the next 10 years, Saint-Malo became the most stable town! But the good times did not last long, and Nautilus's research reached a bottleneck. He had always dreamed of making a heroic or even god-level puppet. After bidding farewell to the townspeople and leaving behind a large number of protective machines, Nautilus left the small town. town.

Who would have expected that all the mechanical life forms whose duty it was to protect the town would suddenly decay after Nautilus left! What's even more frightening is that the pitch-black plague is spreading with the mechanical life as the center! Domestic pigs tore off their owners' heads, wheat ears drained the blood of the townspeople, and overnight, the entire Saint-Malo became a plague-stricken area!

This situation continues until now!

The culprit is already obvious. Yes, it is the law of life produced by Nautilus's absorption of 'moonlight'. This is the conspiracy of the Dark Temple, which not only stole all of Nautilus's technology, but also brought a natural disaster to his town!

The most ridiculous thing is that this guy has only come back now!

Engineers are crazy! Throughout the history of the Era, how many people have dedicated their lives to so-called ‘science’? Countless people said before they died, "I'm sorry for my family, I dedicated everything to science." Is this an honor or a travesty?

Lin Jie was able to see through him! This is just a lunatic who will do whatever it takes for his own hobbies!

"I don't like promises. I just picked up a shabby diary. The scrawled words almost blinded me. What's 'my son will come back to save this place', what's 'I love him'... Listen It's all numb." Lin Jie crossed his arms, "It would be more reliable if you gave me some ready-made benefits."

Nautilus's eyes turned cold, "Young man, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me."

"Whoosh——"

A sword energy suddenly crossed the npc's face, and blood slowly oozed from the wound!

"Wind Control Sword Qi Slash! Wind Control Sword Master!" Nautilus was startled, and his tone softened a lot, and he said, "I can help you, but I don't have the materials."

Lin Jie smiled slightly, took out water-based alloy and other materials from his backpack, and placed them on the ground. Suddenly an idea flashed and he said, "Ziliang, take this sword and walk around the town. If you see any steel, dig it out for me. If you can dig out puppets, even better!"

Zheng Ziliang took the Thunder Sword handed over by Lin Jie, nodded solemnly, and ran towards the town. The sub-legendary weapon Thunder Sword easily penetrated the soil, pried it hard, and dug out a piece of steel.

These are all pieces of mechanical puppets! If it can be added to the gargoyles, the quality may be improved!

While the two were scheming with the NPC for rewards, Qiu Yuan opened the door of the ruins and released the townspeople one by one. After taking out fresh water and distributing it to every town citizen, the little girl cried with joy and hugged Qiu Yuan.

"Hey... Fusheng."

"how?"

"The system prompts me that the public support in the town of Saint-Malo exceeds 100%, all construction costs are reduced by half, and the development speed is increased by 100%. What does it mean?"

Lin Jie stared, what? Shouldn't this kind of reward for construction level appear after a large-scale city battle?

But looking at the grateful eyes of the NPCs in front of him, Lin Jie felt relieved.

Although this statement is a bit nonsense and has low applicability in modern times, it is exactly that: good people are rewarded.

Looking at Master Nautilus, Lin Jie asked with a smile, "Master, that guy is digging the materials too slowly. He will probably have to wait for a long time. Why don't we take advantage of this time and do some warm-up exercises?"

"Oh? Warm-up exercise? This is really a great idea!" Nautilus, who was threatened by Lin Jie, couldn't help but clenched his fists and smiled, thinking about how to find an excuse to beat up this human from another world to vent his anger. Well, he actually delivered it to the door himself.

"Bang--"

"Bang--"

Lin Jie poured out the core of lava, the ten thousand-year ice, the Dharma Condensed Dark Ore, etc., and finally propped up a whole skeleton of the Deathly Horrible Bone Dragon, and said with a smile, "Make a musket to practice your skills?"

"..." (To be continued...)
