Chapter 236: Imperial tools that can be used.
"I have already used one, and the one contracted is Seleucus Euphrasia! For the last one, I plan to contract Black Eye first, and after the master completes the task, I will apply for Red Eye." Zeta answered slowly.
"These people are all suitable for the Jinyiwei, but are these the only three you like?" Li De asked Zeta.
"Leone, Maine, Chelsea and others give me the feeling that they are not good enough to use the contract." Zeta said truthfully.
In other words, if Leone, Chelsea and Maine are willing to join the Royal Guard, Zeta will accept them, but will not give them a contract.
And Reed will not interfere with Zeta's decision.
After all, for him, as long as the mission can be completed, it's fine. Reed doesn't have role-playing obsession, so much so that he has to accept all the female members of the Night Raid and Orc Team.
"So what is the specific arrangement for these three people?" Li De continued to ask.
"As for Mayin, I have already asked her. Her wish is to live a life without lack of money. For this reason, she has already handed over the Romantic Fortress, so I have arranged a well-paid clerical job for her.
As for Leone and Chelsi, they were quite interested in the Jinyiwei spies, so they stayed with Zeta. Considering the danger of their work, I did not take back the imperial tools they were currently using. "Claire answered.
"As long as it's a job they are interested in, it'll be fine. Also, strengthen Leone and Chelsea's strength. After all, they are unexpectedly weak without imperial weapons." Li De nodded and added.
"I have already sent two people to Shiho's place, and the other two women will receive a period of training in combat without imperial weapons." Claire knew very well that Reed's mission this time had no room for error.
Therefore, she not only made arrangements in advance to improve the strength of Leone and Chelsea, but even Main, who had switched to civilian work, did not escape.
In addition, almost every person related to the mission, including those who have not yet arrived in the imperial capital, has been marked with a spatial imprint to facilitate tracking of their location at any time.
After all, this mission is going to fail, which would be very bad for Li De.
Claire will not be careless just because the native humans in this world are not very strong.
Now that the personnel arrangements for the Night Raid Team have been completed, Najeshitan has become a general again, fulfilling her wish to serve the country again and make it a better country.
Lubbock is Najeshitan's licker. As long as Najeshitan is happy, he is willing to do anything.
When Brand learned that his old boss Leva was still alive, his joy was beyond words.
It's a pity that he didn't know that his old boss had become Esdeath's loyal servant.
Not to mention Main, Leone and Chelsea, the same goes for Akame and Hill, and the remaining Tatsumi is working towards a bright future.
As for the Hunter Team, there is no need to pay attention to Esdeath, Seleu Eupikitas and Kuroneko. Although Kuroneko has not returned to the imperial capital yet, the people who have signed the contract cannot be unhappy.
In fact, Will, the remaining one, does not need to be recruited into the imperial capital to fulfill his wish, but he is a talent after all, and it is a pity to keep him in a small coastal town in the empire.
Lan just needs to wait for Sheila to bring Champ to rescue Ernest so that he can understand his wish.
The remaining Porus did not need any special arrangements, as long as he was not allowed to burn innocent people. Therefore, the imperial weapon was directly recovered and a new job suitable for his personality was assigned to him.
The final Dr. Fashion had been dealt with long before, because he was the only one who could be eliminated.
"By the way, Yita, how many imperial tools have we recovered so far?" Li De asked Yita, who was in charge of researching imperial tools.
"Master, we have currently recovered twenty-three imperial artifacts." Yita on the side replied.
"Only twenty-three pieces?" Li De couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard that.
"Well, these numbers even include the imperial tools that are currently in use." Ita still answered slowly.
"Then are there any imperial weapons here that can be useful to us?" Li De continued to ask.
"Yes, I have already analyzed the Romantic Turret. After the material is enhanced, I plan to mass-produce it. After that, anyone who has learned meditation can use it. It is a very good long-range strike equipment.
However, telekinetic users with strong mental power should use it with caution. After all, even if it is made a hundred times stronger by multiplying its ability, the strengthened material cannot withstand the infusion of huge mental power. My suggestion is to let secondary contractors use it later.
Master, I am very sorry. Although the structure of this imperial weapon is not complicated, I don’t have a better way to solve the problem of strengthening it. Using sacred words instead of alchemical runes and replacing it with more powerful materials is already the limit of strengthening. "
After listening to Yita's words, Li De did not show any expression of blame. After all, Yita's character was such that she would never cut corners if she could do her best.
As for the inability to produce long-range attack equipment used by the captains, no one actually cares.
After all, there are only a few captains who are still using equipment, and most of them use swords.
If you let them use guns, they will not be able to adapt.
"Just do your best. By the way, Yita, is there no other imperial weapon suitable for us except the [Romantic Turret]?" Li De asked again.
"Of course not. The Five-Vision Universal Technique is useful. Although farsightedness, clairvoyance, and future vision have some overlapping functions for us, clairvoyance and illusion are still pretty good.
However, the truly useful part of this imperial weapon is the dangerous eyeball embedded in the center of it. After disassembling it, I have given it to Shiho to clone, and when there are enough of them, I will take them out for us to devour.
Speaking of which, before obtaining Tyrande's flesh and blood, Shiho and I had no way to do anything. After all, the several characteristics of this eyeball cannot be possessed by oneself after swallowing it. Our own evolutionary characteristics must be strong enough.
After Tyrande's super evolutionary genes enhanced our own evolutionary characteristics, it would be much easier for us to evolve corresponding characteristics after absorbing the excellent foreign characteristics. This is why a large number of clones are needed. "Yita answered slowly.
"Is there anything else?" Li De continued to ask.
"Yes, but imperial tools like the Purgatory Incursion [Lubigond] and the Wrath of Thunder [Admiller] are not universal. Only people with corresponding attributes can devour them, so there is no need to cultivate them. They have already been devoured by Gamma and Zeta. The demon god in Esdeath's body will manifest [Essence of the Devil]. When she returns to the imperial capital, Shiho will take it out of her body when she transforms her bloodline, and then give it to Alpha to devour.
Apart from these biological materials that are not universal, the others are still under study to see if there are any hidden effects that have not been discovered. If not, then among the imperial tools collected so far, these are the only ones that can enhance our strength. "Yita nodded and replied.
"Then let's continue our research. It would be great if we have it, but it doesn't matter if we don't. After all, the results so far are good." Li De nodded.
He was not too greedy and did not have the idea of squeezing every bit of oil out of every imperial tool.
"I understand." Yita replied calmly.
"Master, how do you feel after devouring Tyrande's flesh and blood?" asked Miyano Shiho on the side.
"Very good, very good. Even if I don't practice every day, I can feel my body getting stronger. My body is constantly evolving to adapt to the powerful genes implanted before. I estimate that in a few months, I should be able to evolve a strong body that matches those enhanced genes.
It can be said that except for a little waste of food, everything else is good. Fortunately, I had the foresight to produce enough fine meatballs in that world where pirates are rampant, otherwise it would be difficult to solve the problem of food shortage now. "Li De expressed his feelings without hiding anything.
"Shiho, how is Tyrande's flesh and blood cultivation going?" Alexia on the side couldn't help but ask.
Although Alexia is very concerned about Tyrande's flesh and blood cultivation, she is more concerned about when Miyano Shiho will be able to come up with a plan to optimize Alice's bloodline.
Of course, she couldn't ask this openly, especially in this situation.
However, Alexia knew that with Shiho Miyano's intelligence, it would not be difficult for her to understand what she meant.
"Don't worry, Alexia, everything is progressing steadily. But I hope you can be a little patient and give me some time. After all, we have only been in this world for a few days." Miyano Shiho knew what Alexia was worried about, so she gave a direct answer.
"Shiho, is it difficult to cultivate the flesh and blood of super dangerous species?" Beta at the side suddenly asked.
"It's very simple, at least for Tyrande's flesh and blood. However, cloning the eyeball of another super dangerous species is much more troublesome." Miyano Shiho looked at Beta speechlessly and replied.
She knew what Beta meant by asking this, and adhering to the principle of not getting involved in the mess between Alexia and her, Miyano Shiho directly told her the result.
Because this is really hard to hide. You have to know that Tyrande's flesh and blood itself has powerful corrosive and assimilation properties, which is why it was swallowed up by Li De's dragon blood.
If it were other creatures, the sub-dragon species would have a very large sequence advantage.
In fact, Claire had already obtained a mass of flesh and blood and completed the devouring, thereby enhancing her own evolutionary characteristics.
But others cannot devour it directly like Reed and Claire did. Instead, they must wait until Shiho Miyano extracts the evolutionary characteristics.
Who can blame them for the fact that their own devouring characteristics derived from the Monster King Orochi are not as strong as imagined? Because strictly speaking, Orochi is just a sub-dragon species, and its devouring characteristics are only slightly stronger than Tyrande.
Although strictly speaking, it is not impossible for the women to swallow it by force, doing so would be extremely time-consuming.
Moreover, they must concentrate during the swallowing period and can basically not do anything else, so the efficiency of swallowing will be very low. Therefore, they can only wait for Miyano Shiho to purify the required genes.
"Okay, stop talking. Shiho, just go at your own pace." Li De directly interrupted the daily bickering between Alexia and Beta.
"Thank you for your understanding, master." Miyano Shiho nodded and said.
"Well, the main thing now is to complete the trial mission first, and then to reorganize the empire. After all, we are short of trustworthy talents now, and we won't be able to find reliable personnel to replace them if we are too aggressive. It is better to complete the mission first and get the points.
For me, it is enough to let those who are rotten to the surface continue to maintain the current situation. After all, it is easier to clean up later. If we rush to clean up this group of people, we will need time to observe the successors, and this will prevent us from starting the acceleration mode after we have replenished the talents.
You also know that if you want to run an empire, some things must be resolved within the rules. Once you open the door to force and other external tactics, it will not be so easy to plug this hole later. "Li De forcibly changed the subject.
"I agree with my master. After abolishing Ernest's tyranny, the pressure within the empire will definitely ease, and we won't have to be so anxious to carry out the liquidation." Ipsilon said.
"I just don't know how strong the enforcement of abolishing tyranny will be. You know, officials are still okay, they certainly won't dare to oppose openly, but it is entirely possible that those low-level staff will not implement government orders and continue to exploit the people in a lip service." Alexia said immediately.
Of course, it wasn't that Alexia was targeting Ipsilon on purpose, but she understood too well how a kingdom operated and how much harm the low-level staff who had direct contact with the people could cause.
"There's nothing we can do about it. We can only strengthen supervision in this area. You know, these low-level staff have close ties with local officials, and it's not that easy to resolve." Gamma also spoke up.
"Other than that, we can only intensify propaganda in the villages. As long as the people at the bottom know that the policy has changed, they will not be blindly exploited." Beta also spoke at this moment.
"That's easier said than done. There are dozens of large cities in such a huge empire, not to mention the villages and towns surrounding the cities. We can only take it slowly. After all, governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. You can't be impatient." Alpha frowned and shook his head.
"Don't be so gloomy. You know, what we have the most is time, right? Just accumulate experience slowly, and you will always find an efficient solution." Li De smiled at this moment.
He knew exactly why Alpha was frowning.
After all, an empire is so difficult to deal with, let alone a world.
You have to know that there are really not many countries in the world of Zhan Mei. Apart from the empire, there are only ethnic groups in the north and south, kingdoms in the west, and closed island countries in the east.
But the real world is completely different. The number of countries is at least one to two times that of the Zelda: Zelda world.
If it's difficult to deal with just one kingdom, wouldn't it be even more difficult to deal with so many kingdoms in the real world?
