Chapter 80 Ork's Magic Workshop
"Dear Lord Demon King, according to your instructions, the laboratory has been prepared for you."
In the new development area deep in the mine, Arakdo stood at the entrance of the construction site, proudly showing the Demon King the latest achievements of the Shadow Weaver clan.
After consuming a hundred civil spiders and 100 kilograms of picric acid explosives, the Shadow Weaver clan once again created a new miracle in the field of engineering - they understood the "Four Spiders Parallel Explosive Excavation" technique!
Although this professional technique is very troublesome to explain, Arakdo still tried hard to make gestures with his eight legs for a while, trying to make the Demon King understand the mystery.
However, unfortunately, Lord Demon King is not interested in whether these crypt spiders walk to the construction site with their left leg or their right leg first.
He only looks at the results.
By the way, Luo Yan stopped Arakdo from his urge to demonstrate live. He could accept the death of the little spiders on the construction site, but it was somewhat unnecessary for them to die in rehearsal.
"In general, construction efficiency is +30%, right?"
Arakdo: "That's what it means!"
"I know."
Luo Yan praised the Shadow Weavers a few words, and then handed this place to Oak,
"I'll leave this to you. The things you need to study are in the box. If there are new materials, I will have them sent to you."
“Besides, this is not a school in the empire, nor is it a hell. You don’t have to care about too many secular rules. Just complete the research according to my instructions and report the results to me. If I am angry about something, it must not be because you cursed the devil or anything else, but because you are reporting. It is mixed with useless nonsense or flattery. "
A spacious corridor connects eight rooms. The main laboratory is not only equipped with the most basic furniture such as tables, chairs, bookshelves, and storage boxes, but also equipped with experimental equipment that Luo Yan purchased through the church in Silver Pine Town.
They included alchemy tools and professional operating tables, as well as some equipment that he couldn't name, but he could probably guess how to use them.
These things are mainly common in human society on the surface and have not been exported to hell.
But since Ork has worked for the magicians in Xue Bang, he should be familiar with the use of these instruments.
Facing such a generous master, Oke's eyes were so moved that his eyes became wet, and he bowed deeply.
"It's an honor for Oak to serve you, my master."
Looking at this guy's energetic look, Luo Yan nodded.
He suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with the fact that the person coming was a goblin.
If hell really sends a powerful goblin over, I, the devil, might have to coax him to work.
And it’s unclear who will supervise whom at that time.
Perhaps, I am still too superstitious about the knowledge of goblins. Although the latter has a good reputation, the path dependency problem may be much more serious than that of Goblin.
He has to reflect on this and at least learn from senior Lint Isaac spiritually!
Looking at the respectful Oke, Luo Yan continued.
"There is no need to be polite, just go about the task I assigned you... In addition, if you have any needs or troubles, just clasp your hands and call my name loudly. Say it three times for unimportant things, ten times for important things, and keep saying it if it is urgent. I will naturally send someone to find you, or come there myself."
As long as you are on the territory of the Demon King's territory, strictly speaking, everything is under Yuyou's control.
Although Yoyo can't stare at every corner all the time, he can set filtering conditions that trigger Yoyo's active attention.
For example, calling the Demon King in Hellish or the common language of the Os Empire is one of them.
Being noticed by Youyou is naturally equivalent to being noticed by Luo Yan.
But this rule only works in his Demon Lord Territory, and after he leaves, it only works around him.
Looking at Ork who nodded and bowed, Arakdo looked at him with contempt.
This guy discriminates against all guys younger than him equally, especially guys who are younger than him and like to flatter him as much as he does.
After leaving the cave, Arakdo immediately entered the admonishment path.
"Lord Demon King, I don't think that Goblin is a good person! They have no concept of loyalty at all, just like the rat people. You must not listen to his slander!"
Luo Yan smiled faintly.
"Arlacto, you don't know enough about goblins. The rebellion of the rat men is engraved in your bones, but goblins are monsters that can deceive themselves. Don't doubt it when they are licking you. It must come from the heart."
Although he is also capricious, Goblin's capriciousness is always traceable. He is indeed filial when he should be filial, and he is filial when he is unfilial.
This is one of the reasons why the status of goblins in hell is slightly higher than that of ratmen.
Being familiar with the cultural differences between different monsters is one of the required courses in Demon King Academy. As a top student with perfect scores, Luo Yan is quite familiar with this kind of thing.
Arak was so shocked that he rubbed a pair of forelimbs on top of his head. He really didn't understand the difference between the two.
As expected of the Demon King!
Although he, as the "first wise general of the Shadow Weaver Clan", could not understand the difference between the two at all, he felt that what the Demon King said seemed to make some sense.
No——
It’s just a whip!
Stop at the entrance of the cave, Luo Yan thought for a while, asked Sarah to get him a wooden sign and hung it at the entrance of the cave, and then used his wand to carve a line of words on it.
【Oak's Magic Workshop】
Just call it this name.
…
There is no need to count on reinforcements from the Magic City for the time being. After finishing his work, Luo Yan returned to his daily routine of leveling up with his younger brothers.
His fixed teammates are basically Bond and Sarah, while Okto and Arakdo alternate. After all, they have other jobs.
As for why we didn’t find players, it was naturally due to balance considerations.
The jealousy of these guys is far greater than that of Arakto. The fact that he used a few small skeletons to pull monsters has almost become a black spot that cannot be erased by Yizhiqiu.
To be fair, most of the experience is taken by oneself, and the experience the players receive is almost the same as when they usually farm monsters by themselves.
In short, since players want to maintain a sense of distance from them and maintain the BOSS's strong character, then just satisfy them.
Under Luo Yan's careful cultivation, the minions of the cemetery grew rapidly.
Especially Octo, who has the "Golden Soul", because he actively outputs every time he spawns monsters, his strength has broken through the bottleneck of black iron and reached the realm of bronze.
Secondly, Bond's performance is also quite good. With a big sword, he can attack, retreat and defend. He is a balanced player who takes into account both offense and defense.
The other is Sarah.
As a "cat demon", she has a special growth bonus in agility.
As her strength broke through the entry threshold of the black iron level, she finally showed the potential of extraordinary power. When she ran, she was as fast as a gust of wind, and the dagger in her hand seemed to be lightened by magic!
Sarah felt extremely excited about the changes that had taken place in her body. Her excitement was the same as that of adventurers who first awakened to extraordinary powers.
However, because of this, she was too aggressive in the battle and overturned the car unexpectedly, and was almost swallowed by a giant worm ambushing behind the protruding rocks.
That monster does not have extraordinary power, it is just an ordinary monster, but there are many adventurers who have fallen victim to this guy.
Its digestive juices can even decompose steel, and the paralyzing toxins contained in its saliva can immobilize bronze-level warriors and even silver-level mages.
Happily enough, Luo Yan took action in time and threw a wall of wind into the monster's mouth. Octo, who was wielding a scimitar, dodged and cut it in half. Only then did Sarah narrowly escape.
Looking at this stupid cat that was so frightened that it was covered in hair and sitting on the ground stiffly, Luo Yan almost made his nose become angry, and couldn't help but want to hit her head with a wand.
If he had committed the same stupid thing, he believed that any professor in Demon King Academy would 100% do the same...even Lilith.
But seeing that she had learned her lesson, Luo Yan still couldn't bear to take action.
Lessons are only a means, not an end.
Looking coldly at the frightened face, he said in an emotionless voice.
"I'm disappointed that you didn't obey my orders. I hope this is the last time."
He did not say what will happen next time.
However, Sarah trembled all over after hearing these words, and there were even tears in her slightly red eyes.
Looking at her scared look, Luo Yan couldn't help but wonder if this guy had misunderstood something and thought he was going to do the same thing to her as the prisoners.
That’s not the case.
Making mistakes is not a crime.
If there was a next time, he would at most ask her to withdraw from the combat post and go back to being a mascot. He would never throw his subordinates into a small dark room because of this matter.
"Sarah... I won't let you down, for sure!"
Not living up to Luo Yan's expectations, Sarah, with tears in her eyes, raised her arm and wiped her eyes, sucked in the nose that was constantly flowing out, and stood up from the ground while holding on to the wall.
She is still a strong girl after all, and will not be defeated by this setback.
Luo Yan nodded appreciatively.
hh "I'm waiting for you to prove it with actions. Now, let me see your wounds."
hh Sarah blushed and nodded, stretching out her right hand.
When she was avoiding the attack just now, her arm accidentally hit the wall of the cave.
Although she wore the wind barrier imposed by Luo Yan, she still had a wound cut by a sharp stone.
This is what happens if you are not familiar with your own power.
Luo Yan softly recited the healing incantation and quickly healed the wound which was not too deep.
< logue CEGo ulatingideronna in [] to be more like this.
The two cocked ears flickered uneasily, making it difficult to tell whether she was alerting the surroundings or whether she was thinking wildly.
Looking at the cat that suddenly distanced itself from him, although Luo Yan had no expression on his face, he was still a little hurt in his heart.
After collecting the monster's poison sacs, magic crystals and other useful materials, the group continued on the road, heading south along the second-floor cave.
While walking on the road, Luo Yan took the time to glance at the lizard-man ghoul walking next to him and said in a casual tone.
"Okdo, am I being too harsh on you?"
Okdo still had an expressionless face and said in a respectful voice.
"How could it be? I have benefited a lot from your guidance, so please be more strict."
"I'm glad you think so."
Luo Yan nodded, feeling relieved.
It seems that his subordinates still understand his good intentions.
Even if you can't understand it now, you will gradually understand it in the future...
Based on Luo Yan's understanding of the power system of this world, the level thing is actually a bit similar to the academic qualifications on earth.
· It is true that high-level old monsters have something. After all, what is destined by God is only the invisible and intangible soul level. You still have to work hard to achieve the level that is visible and tangible.
However, having said that, it is not necessary to understand the level as the whole of life in an extreme way.
Even without taking the example in the maze, there are many female knights who were captured by goblins due to overconfidence, not to mention the succubi who were surrounded by human soldiers and overturned.
After all, no matter how high your level is, no matter how awesome your panel attributes are, and no matter how many diplomas you have, you can’t expect your opponent to give you a thumbs up before they take action, right?
Luo Yan still remembers Professor Enos saying that some demons from the academy often make such mistakes. They are arrogant because they are graduates of the Demon King Academy, and as a result they lose to a group of human adventurers whose strength is far inferior to themselves.
It is precisely for this reason that Professor Enos has been strongly opposed to students who have not participated in actual combat class exercises going to the battlefield.
It must be for this reason that he actively encourages his students to write letters home.
However, Luo Yan does not have the problem of underestimating the enemy. After all, he was a tough-talking bronze when he was in Demon King Academy and was tortured by a group of silver-level conspicuous people every day.
As for the torture of society, he has already experienced it in his previous life, and he will never be as innocent as a newly graduated college student.
Even when dealing with ordinary-level monsters, he would be very careful to apply twelve buffs to himself and his younger brothers before attacking, and he could attack first from behind and never from the front.
Luo Yan is deeply self-aware of his “academic” background. Even compared to most demons from the academy, he still missed one year of practical lessons.
What is lacking in experience can only be made up for by caution.
After all, he is not like a player who has countless lives to waste and trial and error...
The group of people later encountered several waves of monster attacks, and Sarah, who served as the scout, was very careful not to make the same mistake as before. After meeting the enemy, she immediately retreated from the scouting position to the back row, leaving the lead to Bond or Octor, and at the same time, she alerted Luo Yan's surroundings - especially behind him.
It seems that she has really learned her lesson.
Luo Yan was very pleased with Sarah for seizing the future.
This feeling is like seeing the stray cat you picked up not only learn to use the toilet at home, but also learn to do backflips and catch cockroaches.
Just as he was thinking this, Sarah, who was walking in the front row, suddenly sniffed, her bright eyes instantly widened like bells, and her cat ears stood up like antennas.
"Human scent! Ahead!"
Humans?
Luo Yan immediately raised his hand to signal the team to stop.
(Tendosynovitis has occurred again, I’m getting old, please catch bugs!)
