Chapter 266: 264: A hearty shopping spree (subscription required)
"So, you want to buy a few more pieces?"
Hearing this, the Imperial Ambassador Robin Walter seemed to be relieved, but he turned around and immediately refused righteously: "Of course not!"
He looked at Luo Yi and said, "My Lord Earl, you have been to Auckland City and have close ties with the Mage Tower there.
So, you should know clearly that the list I have come up with is not an ordinary list.
The items here are basically the Empire's inventory. Even if someone within the Empire wants to exchange them, they have to pave the way with merit."
This is true, because no matter which country it is in, there are such rules.
This is also a rare way for lower-level nobles to obtain higher and better magical weapons and props.
Luo Yi nodded, but still said: "That's what I said, but you have also seen the black account. The information in it is quite explosive and has great significance. Can't we make some concessions?
I'm not asking for it for nothing, I'm still giving you the money!"
Lord Robin Water still shook his head: “If you had offered more before, I would have agreed.
But now, I've already informed the Empire, and if I add any more pressure, it will be difficult to explain."
"My Lord Earl, please don't embarrass me!"
Luo Yi shook his head, still somewhat unwilling.
He is now a true third-level transcendent, and his strength has greatly increased. The weapons and equipment he used before are indeed a bit outdated.
This time it was exchanged from the treasury within the Habsburg Empire. It would be a pity if we missed it.
Thinking of this, Luo Yi said directly: "Your Excellency, let me take you to see something.
If you still don't agree after meeting me, then just ignore what I said!"
"What?"
"You'll know when you see it."
"You have to mention it first, otherwise I won't go."
"Of course it's something good that will benefit the empire."
"Did you only give me half of that black account?"
"Don't joke, I'm not that kind of person. Let's go, let's go now!"
Luo Yi didn't care about the occasion and pulled the imperial ambassador towards the west of the city.
Finally, he stopped at the Magic Steelworks, turned several corners, and entered Lilia's laboratory.
Lilia is not here, and the reason is simple: her own mechanical mage tower has been built.
She was in deep meditation in the Mage Tower, leaving her mark on the tower spirit, thus ensuring that the Mage Tower was hers.
It is extremely rare within the empire for a second-level mage to have a mage tower of his own.
Lillia is definitely the object of envy and hatred for most mages.
Of course, although Lilia was not there, her laboratory was still very busy. A group of people were dismantling and packing items in preparation for migration.
However, the large-scale experimental magic machine tool is still there, and there are even many people gathered around to operate it.
They were all apprentices of magic mechanics, who originally made magic hammer forging machines. Now, they were all pulled in to learn and operate machine tools.
Their operating techniques are still relatively unfamiliar, and waste products appear from time to time.
But this does not affect their concentration, and every success will cause cheers from the crowd.
Lord Robin Water could become the ambassador of the Empire, so he must be a sharp-eyed person. He was not fooled by appearances, but walked around the machine several times.
Finally, he squatted down where the scrap and finished steel pipes were, reached out and touched them, and ran his fingers along the rifling.
Then, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and looking at the mechanical apprentices who kept trying, he seemed to understand something.
He looked at Luo Yi, his eyes full of questions. Luo Yi neither admitted nor denied, but just grinned.
Lord Robin Water couldn't help it. He pulled Roy aside and asked, "What's going on?"
"Didn't you see it all? It's a new type of magical machine, specially designed for metal cutting.
I call it: Magic Machine Tool!"
"So, it really can produce rifling, and it only requires these mechanical apprentices?"
"To be precise, rifling is just a small part of the tool. It can do a lot more."
Roy finally lost his reserve. He held Lord Robin Water's arms and twisted him towards the magic machine tool.
"The Empire's production capacity is actually largely limited by the number of Mechanical Mages. The Empire's solution is to train more Mechanical Mages.
It’s not impossible, but I just want to change the angle.”
"Look at these people. They are just mechanical apprentices, but they can use the processing machinery to complete many tasks that only high-level mechanical mages can do."
"So, does this mean liberation for the Imperial Mechanicus?
Let them free up their time and energy to make more advanced magical machinery, isn't this also a way?"
"Yes, yes! If it works?"
"Of course it works. The Magic Hammer Forge is just the beginning. This is truly a processing machine that can be used."
After saying this, Roy looked at Lord Robin Water and said, "Do you think there will be a market for this kind of machine if I sell it to the Empire?"
"If what you say is true, then of course there is! No, it definitely is, yes, definitely..."
Lord Robin Water also came back to his senses. He looked at Roy and asked, "What do you want?"
"What were we talking about? I just wanted some rights to buy nice things, okay?"
"Yes, of course, definitely!"
The Imperial Ambassador, Lord Robin Water, laughed heartily. "There's no need to inform the Empire. I made the decision directly."
As he said this, he raised his hand, took out his dimensional bag, and pulled out book catalogs from it.
"There's nothing we can do about the awakening potion. It's a consumable item, unless you're willing to wait and see if there's a new one in stock."
"But everything else is easy. This is the magic rapier book you just looked at. If you want to buy a few, just tell me."
"There's also this one, about magic armor. Take a look and see if there's anything you want!"
"This one has records of magic items and their effects. You'll need to look carefully."
"You're definitely going to like this one. It's full of powerful magic firearms, crafted by master alchemists. They have all sorts of effects, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
"Oh, and there are also advanced breathing techniques, advanced meditation techniques, extraordinary combat skills, secret knowledge, special materials...
You have all the rights now, so if you're willing to spend the money, just buy it."
A large pile of books was thrown in front of Roy, and the Imperial Ambassador, Lord Robin Water, turned around and ran away very fast.
Of course, he didn't go to see the magical machinery, but instead asked people to find those real mechanical mages to come and do a detailed evaluation.
Luo Yi ignored him, put all the information on the ground, and began to look for the magic weapons and props he wanted.
First of all, there are rapiers. Needless to say, Luo Yi carefully selected two.
One of them is the work of the dwarf master, a high-quality imitation of the silver angel rapier. Although it does not have any special magic blessing, its basic attributes alone are enough.
After all, Luo Yi was of this type before.
As for his secondary weapon, he was wavering between the Frost Ghost Killing Sword and the Flame Sun Rapier.
One is for frostbite and the other for burns, both are actually very good and suitable for different occasions.
After much deliberation, Luo Yi finally bought them all with a stroke of his pen.
Being rich and inhumane is what he should have.
Then there are the magical firearms.
The two swords he originally had could not keep up with his improvement in strength and were seriously lacking in power, so he had to pick out some better ones.
After choosing for a while, the first thing he looked at was a special flame hand cannon.
To call it a gun is a bit of an exaggeration. It is a handheld cannon with a caliber of up to 25mm that can fire bullets and also spray out streams of flames.
Its maker gave it a name: Ferocious Big Mouth Cannon.
However, despite its extraordinary power, there are only a few magic gunners who can use it.
The reason is simple. The power is too great, and the recoil is even greater, which is not something that ordinary gunslingers can control.
However, Luo Yi felt that with his own physique, he could still subdue him.
Then there are the magical armors. He valued a complete set of very expensive silver-based armor.
This armor is actually somewhat similar to a full set of knight plate armor, with extremely high defense capabilities and magic resistance.
At the same time, multiple 'feather techniques' are engraved inside to reduce weight.
Its main body looks like a cabinet. When in use, it can quickly and completely cover the human body after being triggered.
This kind of pedestal weapon is useless to rich people;
It is far more economical for a knight without money to have three or five knight squires and a set of knight plate armor.
The reason why Luo Yi took a fancy to it was more because he considered the future battlefield. He wanted to act as a knight, charging into battle, and it would be useful.
What he valued most was its weight-reducing effect, which allowed him to perform actions without restricting his movements and agility.
Among the magic props, he valued a ring called: Ring of Kent.
There is only one effect, storing fighting spirit.
It can hold the entire body's fighting spirit of a third-order transcendent, allowing it to flow back when exhausted in battle.
This is also a good treasure. Most importantly, Luo Yi really needs it, so he chose it directly.
Finally, he looked through the 'Advanced Breathing Techniques' category and after a long while, he finally picked out a complete version of the Divine and Glorious Breathing Technique.
With Shenlan around, all the advanced breathing techniques of the Raymond family have been thoroughly analyzed. Unfortunately, none of them are suitable for Luo Yi.
After drinking the [Heart of the Holy Lava] and the [Blood of the Golden Lion], Luo Yi's physique has already leaned towards the holy attribute.
Therefore, this "Sacred Glorious Breathing Method" originating from the Church of the Sun God is very suitable for him.
In addition, he also selected a lot of rare materials, such as the soul stone needed to practice [Divine Sigh·Dragon's Might Bloom].
For example, the Fire Stone needed for Otto's training, the Iron Heart required by Iron Knight Phil, and the Water Elemental Core that Ms. Palacios wants.
In a word, this was a very satisfying shopping trip.
