Chapter 910

~7 min read 1,342 words

Everyone came to a cave. Not far inside, they saw a pile of broken planting constructs, models similar to Ang's current one, but the hands, feet, and other places were severely worn, clearly having been used at high intensity for a long time, the kind that was broken beyond repair.

The Monarch picked one up casually and took off the black crystal on its chest: "The black crystals are basically all there. It seems that this kind of black crystal is a very common thing here. If it's broken, throw it away, too lazy to reuse it. This is good, we don't need to go everywhere to find black crystals. There are hundreds of planting constructs here; the black crystals taken off are enough for us to use."

Negris took a look and said, "It should have been scrapped when the Shenguang Chamber of Commerce built this place. It's all normal wear and tear. The engineering volume is not small."

"There are other models inside, and a 'head'," the Monarch said.

Very quickly, everyone saw other models of constructs. There were logging types, but the circular saw was replaced with a chisel, clearly used to break stones. There were load-bearing types, which basically had four or even six legs. There were also transport types, without legs, growing four to six wheels.

"The Shenguang Chamber of Commerce likes to use constructs very much. Why does the Feilie Empire use them so little? I only saw these three types in the Feilie Empire: planting, logging, and riding to run." Silver Coin looked around, and the three types he mentioned were all here.

Shaya said, "This is exactly why the Empire is willing to pay any price to buy chaotic stone planting technology. The energy density of magic crystals is too low, barely enough to drive logging constructs. Stronger metal constructs, soul constructs, and god-guarding constructs must be driven by chaotic stones with higher energy density."

Silver Coin immediately realized: "Energy-level revolution. No wonder they are willing to pay such a high price."

Silver Coin had always been strange about why the other party was willing to pay such a high price. Originally thought it was for this renewable energy method, it turned out not only that, but for a higher energy level.

Why did the God-Guards of the World Transit Station have to be equipped with a seat for them? It was because their energy level was too low, and they could only exert full power for a few minutes before resting. They must be equipped with a seat to replenish their soul energy.

If replaced by this kind of chaotic stone, these God-Guards like Patxi could follow you to fight north and south, blowing up the Church of Light.

The Shenguang Chamber of Commerce was very far from the Feilie Empire, so far that it couldn't be transferred through a teleportation array, requiring an airship to sail over from the void, just like the Titans used to travel between the main plane and the chaos plane in the past.

Coming here also required first building a bridgehead, and then building some chaotic stone farms, otherwise supplies would be troublesome.

Clearly the Shenguang Chamber of Commerce possessed more advanced technology, why were they driven away by the Feilie Empire? It was because it was too far.

Then why was it the Shenguang Chamber of Commerce that attacked, and not the Feilie Empire that attacked? Because the Feilie Empire couldn't get over; their airships couldn't fly that far.

This was also the reason why the Feilie Empire was willing to pay such a high price to obtain chaotic stone planting ability. Without this efficient energy, they could only keep being beaten without fighting back.

The next time the Shenguang Chamber of Commerce comes, the quantity will definitely not be as small as last time. If they can't quickly obtain the production capacity of chaotic stones, they might not be able to cope with the next invasion of the Shenguang Chamber of Commerce.

Thinking through this point, Silver Coin couldn't help but rub his hands, preparing to raise the price again. Anyway, it was still in the 'inspection' stage, and the transaction hadn't started yet.

Continuing to walk down, everyone finally walked to the head the Monarch mentioned.

The lifelike stone head seemed to grow out of the rock, connected to the cave as a whole, looking like some kind of humanoid statue.

The Monarch stretched out his finger and knocked, making a crisp metal knocking sound: "Very hard. It's not stone, it's metal petrified. Ang, did you have a subordinate god before who had the skill to petrify objects?"

The Gale Rabbit and Shaya stiffened suddenly, looking at each other in horror. Had a subordinate god?

This kind of description with a quantity generally represented more than one. If there was only one subordinate god, it would generally be said 'your subordinate god'. Could it be that this Lord Ang had more than one subordinate god?

This kind of question naturally didn't need Ang to answer. The mouth-substitute subordinate god Negris responded: "Not a subordinate god, it's the Six-Winged Angel Luna. She has a petrification crossbow. Right, Shaya, does your Temple of Radiance have Six-Winged Angels?"

Shaya shook his head: "There are no angels. We have Radiant Apostles and demigods. This is our most powerful combat force in the Temple of Radiance besides the Main God."

"Uh, does a demigod like you also count as a powerful combat force? That's not very strong either," Negris muttered, the volume just right for everyone to hear.

"...... I really want to beat you, damn two-legged bird."

While they were teasing each other, the Monarch had already finished checking that head and said: "This is a petrified metal construct, about twenty meters high. Its body is in the rock, already fused with the rock. Judging from the texture of the rock, it should have been trapped by a swamp technique and then petrified."

"A metal construct twenty meters high? Patxi is only six or seven meters high. This construct can actually be twenty meters high?" Negris was surprised.

Negris had seen many giant objects: Titans over ten meters high, war giant trees over tens of meters high, the main body of the Little Demon King over a hundred meters high, ancient gods over hundreds or thousands of meters high, iron-scaled scavengers the size of a plane. It had never seen a metal construct over twenty meters high.

Because constructs are alchemical creations, making them move requires a very complex structure. The larger the body, the more complex the structure. After reaching six or seven meters, its weight would reach tens or hundreds of tons, requiring very high requirements for the strength of materials.

If it reached over twenty meters, the weight of the metal construct would reach a thousand tons. Standing up would make one worry about crushing oneself.

Unexpectedly, there was such a tall metal construct here. Unfortunately, it was petrified. Otherwise, letting Du Luo Ken study it, maybe it could be replicated... uh, unfortunately Du Luo Ken didn't come.

"Ang, is there any way to call Anthony and the others over? Like Silver Coin?" Negris asked.

Ang shook his head. Silver Coin could be called over because he happened to encounter a Business Alliance with a definition similar to a profiteer, and also happened to have a divinity that had just ignited the divine fire. This probability was tens of thousands of times harder than winning the lottery.

However, if one could grow blank divinity, and could catch (find) some religions with similar doctrines, it wasn't impossible. If they weren't similar, it didn't matter. Doctrines could be changed. The Monarch could persuade them to change their doctrines.

Checking again and confirming there were no other problems, Ang started plating crystals directly in the cave, taking off all the black crystals on the chests of those abandoned planting constructs.

Several hundred, a full twenty jin in weight. Ang plated them all onto the Monarch's body in one breath.
