Beatrice gave her fiancé a strange look.

"My dear, do you know what you are talking about? You are talking about a very scary thing, that is, there is a demigod, a male demigod, who suddenly set his sights on my husband and came all the way to protect you regardless of the danger."

Louis was so angry at Beatrice's weird expression that his nose was crooked:

"What does it have to do with me? Who knows what he's thinking?"

Beatrice patted his shoulder and consoled him: "Alright, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I think this is too interesting. It feels like listening to a story..."

Louis frowned and said, "He said something that really concerned me."

"What?"

"He said, 'The Stars need a Sin who stands on the world's side.' Judging from his expression, it didn't seem like he was joking. It seemed more like he came to help me for this reason."

Beatrice thought for a long time, and finally said:

"In that case, how about taking some time to meet Father? Father should know more about the secrets of the great sin than we do."

Louis nodded.

"Okay, then ask the Royal Guards when His Majesty wakes up and let His Majesty know so I can understand the situation."

"Well, you should sort out the gains from this battlefield first."

…

While the two of them were busy with their own things, Louis found a place and began to study the treasure he had obtained this time.

The first is the remains of the incarnation of the Great Demon of Wild Bones, which have the lowest value overall but are extremely numerous.

Louis took the time to remotely mobilize the database of the Rose Doll and checked the records about the Bone Demon.

The Bone Demon is not a native creature of the abyss.

It is said that His path to becoming a creature of the abyss was difficult.

According to the many secret records passed down by the Unther Empire and the White Tower, he was originally a nameless bone demon in the Nine Hells.

A low-ranking devil's status in the Nine Hells is not much better than that of a lesser demon.

Until one day, he became one of the devils contracted by a top wizard in a certain destroyed magic kingdom.

The wizard seemed to be studying some forbidden knowledge related to bloodline. No one knew what the Great Demon of Wild Bone had encountered back then.

All we know is that when He reappeared, He had already become an outlier among the Bone Demons and had defected to the abyss.

You know, the promotion of devils is much more rigorous than that of demons.

The lowest form of devil is the lesser devil.

They are twisted evil spirits and the afterlife incarnations of corrupted mortals.

Due to the characteristics of the Nine Hells, when these inferior demons are killed in hell, they cannot be completely destroyed unless they are killed with a blessed weapon or are splashed with holy water of the Holy Church before being resurrected.

Despicable and ugly demons can be promoted to lower-level demons by big demons or higher-level demons.

Only a great devil can promote a lower-level devil to a higher-level devil.

And only the Lord of the Nine Hells can promote a higher-level devil to a greater devil.

In such a cruel promotion system that is completely controlled by superiors, every change in form is accompanied by extremely painful torture.

Excluding the inferior demons that are basically treated as livestock, lower-level demons like Bone Demons are the lowest-level soldiers who can truly be regarded as demons in a narrow sense.

In theory, if the professional level of this kind of miscellaneous soldier is to be upgraded, the consent of a higher-level devil must be obtained.

But the Bone Demon broke this limitation. He still maintained the form of a bone demon and became a model life form.

Later, he somehow managed to completely escape from the Nine Hells at the source and became a member of the Abyss.

In the bloody battles in the abyss again and again, His strength becomes stronger and stronger.

But perhaps because of His own peculiarity, although His life level has been raised, His species has not changed.

It just maintained the form of a bone demon, its body became larger and larger, and its bones became more and more indestructible.

Suddenly one day, when the demons reacted, the bone demon had actually been promoted to a divine creature.

Later, he even completed the path to godhood and became the great lord of the abyss who could compete with the gods.

Since He holds partial authority over death and secrets, He has been carefully and cautiously expanding His power in the abyss over the years, rarely fighting a battle that He is not sure of winning.

It can be said that he is the real demon.

After checking the relevant information, Louis was speechless.

Before, he never understood why the Great Bone Demon had such a strong desire to kill him, but now he somewhat understands it.

This guy is the kind of villain who would never talk nonsense like the villains in other novels, and would let the protagonist go and give them time to develop.

After realizing that he really had the ability to threaten Him, he killed Him without hesitation.

It’s a pity that the devil is one foot high, but the Tao is ten feet higher.

Oops, I originally went fishing just to see if there was a chance to catch a big one, but I didn’t expect someone to actually take the bait.

When it comes to hiding, Louis can guarantee that there are really not many people who can hide their cards to such an extent like him.

Thus, the poor Great Bone Demon, who had cultivated the top incarnation for many years, fell miserably on the Falling Star Sea.

It was so sad and lamentable that he could only clap and cheer.

Hiss~ But I have to say, he is worthy of being a veteran who has fought in the bottomless abyss for many years. This incarnation of the Great Demon of Wild Bones not only has good materials, but also large quantities and is filling.

This is really a good thing for Louis, who has been troubled about how to improve the quality of mass-produced sword balls!

It doesn't get any better than this.

Unlike the Wanhua Sword Pill, the core material of the mass-produced Sword Pill is only the bio-alloy produced by Rimuru.

Although a large amount of rare minerals were incorporated into it and it was tempered by Rimuru to produce equipment that far surpassed the royal conventional standard weapons, there was still a certain gap compared to the top magic weapons.

But the incarnation of the Great Demon of Wild Bones is, after all, a rare thing far beyond that of an ordinary demigod, and it contains many special metals that can only be produced in the abyss.

It can be said that just relying on the huge skeleton left behind, all the mass-produced sword balls corresponding to the quotas in the Soldier Grave Contract can be strengthened, and there will even be a huge surplus.

"I didn't expect that we could start the Mass Production Armor Plan so soon."

Louis' eyes lit up.

Nowadays, in his spare time, Rimuru will continuously consume various metal resources and fuse them with parts of his body to produce super-strong alloys with biological activity.

These alloys have even been transported to various secret workshops across the empire to begin exploring the material properties.

Apart from anything else, the waste treatment device that Louis once led, after mixing in some bio-alloys, had a digestion and processing speed nearly twice as fast, completely crushing the mainstream ingredient processing devices on the market.

I guess after this news gets out, the High Forest will be furious again.

That is the "Mass Production Armor Plan".

This plan is essentially an extension between the Wanhua Sword Pill and the matching mass-produced Sword Pill.

The sword ball that can change into a thousand shapes is an excellent weapon and also a nearly perfect piece of armor.

However, the mass-produced sword pills, like the Wanhua sword pills, have an unavoidable problem, which is [limited size].

If the Wanhua Sword Pill was large enough, he could immobilize Huang Gu's incarnation just by using the iron chains generated by the Wanhua Sword Pill to weave a spider web.

Even when he gave Him a ruthless blow at the end, he directly took out a 40-meter-long sword, showing the etiquette of the other world~bang~bang! This is also the reason why the current mass-produced sword balls cannot be used to form armor.

Strictly speaking, with Rimuru's current production of biometal, he can barely quickly equip the Jianwan armor at full firepower.

But pure biometal has its limits.

If you want to maximize the effect of biometal, you must feed it with "high-quality armor".

This is why strong men like Alice and the Mountain-Shaking Spear King did not choose to use mass-produced sword pills directly, but decided to integrate their own weapons and raw materials into their own mass-produced sword pills.

Theoretically, if there is someone who can get the artifact and is willing to give it to Rimuru to be re-forged, he can also upgrade the mass-produced sword pill to the level of [Wanhua Sword Pill] like Louis did.

Because the Wanhua Sword Pill is actually upgraded from the mass-produced Sword Pill.

The same is true for mass-produced armor.

The problem is that the metal resources consumed by magic weapons are not the same as those consumed by top-notch armor.

Think about it, in ancient times, there were usually no restrictions on civilian weapons in various countries, but armor was strictly controlled. This is the reason.

Louis' previous plan was to take Rimuru to some unexplored wasteland, let it directly devour the surrounding land, extract the required metals from the land, and forcibly "dig" out the scarce raw materials that could be used to mass-produce top-notch armor.

But now that an old friend is angry and wants to send his body away, that’s another matter.

…

In the cold winter, the ground was covered with ice and snow, and the swan feathers made the windows of the city of Tino frosted.

February passed in a flash and winter came quietly.

In a secret workshop in the imperial capital, blacksmiths and alchemists forged armor in a blazing fireplace and enhanced the armor's properties through alchemy.

As the temperature of the furnace gradually cooled, the armor that was assembled bit by bit gradually took shape, and the wizard next to it began to attach special magic patterns to it.

It was obvious that they were forging some kind of magical armor.

When everything was over, the royal family members inspected the performance and smiled with great satisfaction, and everyone in the workshop finally showed a relieved expression.

There is no doubt that this may be the most outrageous armor they have ever forged in their lifetime.

In fact, in recent times, the top workshop owners in the imperial capital have been going crazy.

First, the royal family sent a special metal material called bioalloy.

The superiority of the material is amazing.

Although they could not restore the bio-alloy, they knew that this bio-alloy was made by combining the most common metal and non-metal materials, with an extremely terrifying cost-effectiveness, to produce a legendary material comparable to the fusion of countless high-quality materials.

It can be said that this material can be directly used to make the lowest level legendary equipment.

But the royal family seemed unsatisfied with this and issued several orders, requiring all workshops to work at full capacity and, based on this material, to carefully develop a batch of various weapons other than swords.

And the request made by the royal family was very strange.

They do not require the forging techniques of the workshop craftsmen, but only need them to find out the ratio of materials for the various parts of theoretically top-notch weapons based on past experience and historical data, or provide fragments of previous magic weapons.

Isn't this just pure nonsense?

If the order had not been issued by the royal family, they would have thought that it was an idiot who came from nowhere and gave the order at random.

- In fact, after the news came out, many top craftsmen thought that the royal family had lost their minds, but they did not dare to curse loudly.

Until later, when the royal family sent them a batch of weapons that were one-to-one replicas of their design drawings and the fragments of the magic weapons left behind, they didn't want to talk and were just deeply shocked.

For example, there is a magical weapon called the [Thunder Sealing Spear], the spear head of which is forged from Thunder Prison Stone, of which less than 20 kilograms have been produced in the entire continent so far.

The gun tip alone consumes 1 kilogram of Thunder Prison Stone, but considering the loss caused during the manufacturing process, the actual amount of Thunder Prison Stone contained in the muzzle may be less than 300 grams.

Those Thunder Prison Stones that were crafted through extreme means and then integrated with other waste materials were wasted.

As far as they knew, the maximum amount of Thunder Prison Stone owned by the royal family was 3 kilograms.

However, one day, the master in charge of forging the Thunder Sealing Spear suddenly received a product sent by the royal family for them to analyze.

The metal box actually contained 10 lightning-sealing gun tips that were exactly the same as their store's treasure.

That day, the workshop owner, who had always been proud of his craft, roared like a groundhog.

Similar situations can be seen everywhere in military workshops across the empire.

This is not the end. After half a month of forging the magic weapons, the royal family issued a new order again -

Each workshop was required to combine the various technical theories in their minds with previous drawings and materials, and use Rimuru alloy and the skeletons of unknown demigod monsters to try to reproduce the top armors that had appeared in the history of various countries, as well as the inferior substitutes for these armors.

They are really going crazy.

Having already forged magical weapons before, they suddenly realized that the empire might have mastered some means that could directly eliminate the entire blacksmith industry, but for some reason, it had not been disclosed to the public.

This move caused great panic in the blacksmith industry. Fortunately, the royal family seemed to have noticed this problem a long time ago and arranged a group of people to explain the situation early.

However, these methods are performed by demigods and will not involve basic and mid-range industries. Their high-end utilization is also limited and will not affect their livelihoods.

However, the royal family also gave other opinions.

For example, gathering together the best blacksmiths, alchemists and senior magicians.

Instead of considering forging techniques, we will use past experience and technical theory guidance to try to see if we can improve the theoretical upper limit of weapons and armor through theoretical research.

Um……

Perhaps thousands of years later, a time traveler from the same hometown who comes to this land may find that there are a lot of theoretical masters in this world, and they will exclaim that a congenital scientific research saint has appeared in the Western fantasy world view.

But no matter what, as of today, the preliminary theoretical models of various cutting-edge armors have been produced, and with the cooperation of various forces including Rimuru, the creation of prototype armors and even other sets of equipment has been completed.

When the news reached the palace, it instantly attracted the attention of the royal family.

At the same time, the workshop owners stared in amazement as the cutting-edge armor that had been formed disappeared one after another.

If a group of red knights hadn't told them that the equipment was taken away by the demigods, they would have thought it was stolen.

At the same time, in the Soldier's Grave demiplane, Louis, Beatrice and Olivia, who had nothing to do, came to a giant castle.
