Transmigrated with a Demon-Refining Pot: Hehehe, Refine in an instant

They lived peacefully in Silver City for a few more days.

I heard that teams were embarking on their journeys to the mechanical world.

Ron was overjoyed.

The city of Baiyin was a bit more lively than usual that morning.

Ron got up very early to see the latest news from the scouts.

The crystal ball was displaying live footage.

This is a scene taking place in Adrian, the capital of the Bronze Duchy.

From afar on the city wall, four mighty legions could be seen converging. Banners fluttered in the morning breeze, and the ranks stretched out in long lines.

This is an allied force cobbled together from four neighboring small principalities: the Black Iron, Coke Iron, Tungsten Copper, and Brass Principalities. They are preparing to head to the mechanical world to pick up some "big bargains."

The strongest of these duchies is the Bronze Duchy, which has two Tier 3 combat powers: the Grand Duke of Windsor and the Bronze Dragon.

Furthermore, the Knight Legion numbered a full 30,000, so this hastily assembled force was implicitly led by the Bronze Duchy.

At this time, the Duke of Windsor was in high spirits.

He believed that even Ron, the second son of a baron who came from a humble background selling hooks, could thrive in the mechanical world.

There's no reason why he can't do it!

We're all cut from the same cloth.

He was a top talent in this field back in the day!

There's no reason for them to be outshone by rookies.

Perhaps thinking of this, the Grand Duke of Windsor inside the crystal ball waved his cloak and gestured with his hand:

"Move out to war!!!"

Then nearly 100,000 knights below began to line up and board the ship.

It's so exciting to watch!

Ron was also a flag, one flag after another.

Bronze ears of wheat, bronze swords, marigolds...

Almost every nobleman whose name could be heard of was mobilized.

The nobles riding on tall horses had gleaming armor and brand-new cloaks, looking quite imposing, clearly having made careful preparations.

Ron just stared at the screen with a cold smile, knowing perfectly well that if even half of these people came back, they'd be lucky.

Hart stood behind him and suggested, "Your Highness, those people left in a hurry. I heard that some duchies have staked out most of their wealth."

"Should we...?"

Ron didn't turn around and immediately refused:

"Don't do anything unnecessary. Let them go; someone will clear the way for us."

Hart understood the implication in those words and didn't ask any further questions.

Ron watched for a while longer before finally closing the crystal ball live stream, satisfied.

"Let's go, I need to talk to you about something."

Ron called Abaddon, Laun, and the others together and asked them to make a list and submit it.

They are all talented and have made many contributions, making them worthy of cultivation.

They were prepared to use all the remaining metal debris.

Hopefully, after this, he can replenish his foundation and completely break away from the level of a duchy.

Previously, when he went to fight in the mechanical world, his third-tier combat power was completely out of sync with the Knight Legion.

Even with the nurturing power of Ron's essence, the legion could only rank in the lower middle class after hundreds or thousands of years of accumulation in ordinary duchies.

After more than a year of life-or-death battles, the Knights Order no longer had enough men to reach 10,000.

Ron simply incorporated them all into the Silver Dragon Knights' organization.

With the blessing of the world, the Silver Dragon Knights will definitely be able to become a force comparable to the Empire's elite legions.

Ron didn't believe that other countries would be willing to share metals with their subordinates once they acquired them.

The first choice should definitely be to prioritize oneself.

After all the metal was distributed, the military camp was filled with the joy of the successful breakthrough for the next three days.

In the end, on average, one out of every ten people in a squad was a first-tier knight as the squad leader.

While the news from the military camp was certainly encouraging, Ron looked rather worried.

The duchy received a message from a magical empire.

An envoy is coming to visit the Principality of Silver, ostensibly under the guise of offering condolences and engaging in exchanges.

When Ron received the news, his heart skipped a beat, and he sat up straight:

"Who?"

Perrin replied, "It's not very clear inside, but it looks quite formal, like our principality's diplomatic communications."

Ron's expression was somewhat subtle, and he thought to himself:

"What does this mean? Have they really discovered me?"

The Magic Empire's move left Ron somewhat at a loss as to how to respond.

He can't just ignore them when they come.

Who knows if the other party came with a gift or a knife?

But if you refuse to see anyone, it would make you seem guilty.

In any case, just to be on the safe side, Ron still took Aiba and his core subordinates into the Little Garden.

Fortunately, Liulichuan and the others didn't come out, so they didn't have to go through all that trouble.

Now we'll see whether the one coming is friend or foe.

Two days later, in the skies above Silver City.

Ron watched from inside the palace as a floating ship adorned with a mercury dragon banner slowly descended.

Waiting for the other party to come and visit.

Margaret was pulled to sit next to him, and as soon as she made the slightest unusual move, Ron would mount her and run away.

But when the figure stepped into the palace...

The little girl's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in surprise:

"Sister Victoria!!"

"Why are you here?"

Ron breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was Victoria, but he remained vigilant.

He feared she was sent by the magic empire to lull him into a false sense of security.

Victoria laughed and said, "I've been back in the Terran World recovering from my injuries for half a year now. You guys left in such a hurry last time."

I happened to have some free time, so I came to see you.

She spoke gently to Margaret.

Then the two of them, one big and one small, started catching up, leaving Ron aside.

"Ron, Ron, I'm taking Victoria to see my dragon's nest, are you coming?"

Margaret stared at Ron with her big eyes, clearly having forgotten what Ron had told her.

So what could Ron do but go with them?

The following day, Margaret took Victoria on various tours.

There was no mention of any visit.

It seems like Victoria just used that as a pretext to come and visit.

Ron also took the opportunity to look at the people she brought; they were all followers.

Only then did I feel relieved.

"What's wrong? You seem distracted today," Victoria joked with Ron, though she was in a good mood.

Ron could only manage a wry smile: "Since you arrived, this little girl has completely gone mad!"

"Hahaha~" Victoria let out a silvery laugh.

"I find it quite interesting. Every day I spend in the Empire either conducting experiments or playing games with those nobles."

There are very few opportunities to relax.

Tomorrow Margaret is taking me to the island where she was born. Want to come along?

It's clear that Victoria is genuinely happy.

I don't know why she likes Margaret so much, but it's definitely a good thing for Ron.

He's benefited from this several times already!
