Tauren Overlord

As a result, the empire had to replace a new group of leaders and stop destroying the faith of Taimenia.

This solidified their conquest of Timenia.

It was precisely because the cost of completely eliminating the belief in the old gods was too high that the empire ultimately did not make up its mind to eliminate the belief in Temenia.

The Imperial Redemptionists among the leaders were the most resolute.

They have always been the case that whatever the old farmer of Taimenia likes, the leader opposes;

Whatever the old farmer Taimenia hates, the leader loves.

However, they are only one of the three factions among the rulers and cannot control the entire territory.

Therefore, traces of the goddess can still be seen in the small towns and villages of the Taimenians.

Some lower-class nobles of Taimenia who originally had no imperial blood, such as... the Baron of the Mountains in front of him, seemed to still believe in the old gods.

Just like her beliefs.

This discovery made a fire quickly form in Adeleide's beautiful big eyes.

She realized that even if she escaped from the empire, she was just running away!

What a Taimenian who believes in the old gods should really do is not to escape, but to accumulate strength and kill his way through this world filled with rulers!

If it's difficult to do it alone, how about joining forces with others who also believe in the old gods?

This time, the way she looked at Lu Heng was different.

Not only did she agree to Lu Heng's request, she also took the initiative to ask:

"What can I do for you while I stay?"

"Take care of the orphans normally, and then place an ice ring when you encounter bandits?"

"How should these girls be trained? Should they become proper maids, or assistants or other reserve talents?"

Initially, Lu Heng just gave her a gold coin, hoping that she would find an innocent girl.

Unexpectedly, Adeleide took care of so many girls, which was far beyond his expectations.

In this case, Lu Heng also wanted to have a deeper cooperation with her. He continued to smile and said with a little excitement:

"Thank you for taking care of these little girls... But please don't misunderstand me, I'm not deliberately training any reserve maids."

"It's just that the child who lost his father happened to be a girl, so please take care of similar little boys next time."

"As for what these war orphans need to learn, in addition to the most basic cooperation, they can also try to use these magic props..."

As Lu Heng spoke, he took out a 10% version of the psychic simulation stone summoned by Chloe.

This thing is equivalent to the mother machine for manufacturing various 1% versions of magic props.

Then, he directly used this 10% version of the psychic simulation stone to create 5 different magic items in succession.

they are, respectively:

A small-scale psionic battery based on Rosa's abilities;

A psychic juicer based on Barbaris's abilities;

A small medical crystal based on Lu Heng's healing abilities;

A small Rye Control Core modeled after Baltai's Rye Control ability;

There was also a small-sized "Refrigeration Magic Ring" controller that Lu Heng made in person based on Adeleide's "Ice Magic Ring" ability.

These different new magic items are essentially different forms of 1% psychic simulation stone.

As long as Chloe's 10% version of the psychic simulation stone is used as the "machine tool", these new magic props can be made continuously.

Lu Heng placed these magic props of different forms on the large template in front of Adeleide one by one, and he couldn't help but get excited:

"You let the children learn to use these magic props."

"Although they generally haven't awakened any exclusive arts, using these things usually only requires limited psychic energy."

"If all goes well, we can mass-produce these new magic items."

Adeleide's face was filled with disbelief, and new sparks kept flashing in her eyes:

"This kind of magic item... can be mass-produced?"

"So, people who use tools to become spellcasters... can also be mass-produced?"

"I really can't imagine what the future of the territory will be like if props like this are deployed!"

As for her further ideas, Adeleide didn't even dare to reveal them in front of Lu Heng...

If this kind of mass-produced power can really be used on a large scale, then the power comparison between the Taimenians and the Imperials may be rewritten from then on!

Perhaps one day in the future, killing those leaders, or even the entire empire, will become possible with the rise of this kind of power.

78. Gentle Mother and Loyal Girl

Lu Heng also liked the feeling of having his potential discovered. He smiled happily again and said:

"You don't have to worry too much about the money. Just report the list of supplies to Sintija. As long as the demand is reasonable, she will arrange the purchase of the supplies."

Lu Heng's casual words instantly echoed in Adeleide's heart, gradually turning into a warm current.

She felt a strong sense of joy from the bottom of her heart, happy that she had unexpectedly gained the trust of the Baron of the Mountains.

Of course, Lu Heng couldn't tell Adeleide that you were doing it and he was watching.

Because of the landing point vision, he gave more trust to the girl in front of him.

As for money, what Lu Heng lacks the least is the empire's currency.

He is not the only one making money, behind him is the wealth of Pierre's entire family!

Even if Pierre's small treasury runs out one day, his officers' small treasuries will still be there!

Those who contributed money included but were not limited to "Rye Mage" Baltai and "Sealer" Maxim, and even the "King Kong Knight" who had already been boxed...

They have all made indelible contributions to the development of the Mountain Territory at unknown times!

This small punishment may not be much compared to the huge crime they committed as accomplices of the leader, but at least it can be regarded as a little bit of atonement for their sins unintentionally.

Lu Heng had some reasons not to kill these officials who stood on the wrong side.

With their financial support, it will now depend on how many inventions Adeleide and the children she cares for can come up with.

For example, Adeleide's "Ice Magic Ring" was originally a combat skill, but after this skill was reduced in size, it would probably be difficult to use it directly in combat.

Would it have any other uses?

At least the first thing Lu Heng thought of was that it was possible to replicate the air conditioner in his hometown.

What about other miniature skills? Perhaps they also contain infinite possibilities?

Lu Heng was also very interested in this, but if he had to think of everything by himself, it would be too slow.

It is better to let the children do the experiments together. They have more time, unlike adults who are always busy making a living.

Moreover, the older they are, the less their thinking is constrained by the current world, and they may be able to think of more things that adults cannot think of.

Of course, Lu Heng had another relatively obscure consideration - it would be easier to maintain relative confidentiality if he let these adopted children conduct the experiment first.

When the children have inventions and creations, it needs to be evaluated which ones are suitable for priority placement in the mountains, which ones are less prioritized, and which ones are even harmful.

If some inventions are useless for expanding a better life, but are very effective in assassinating neighbors...

If this kind of thing is distributed everywhere, wouldn't it harm people?

The location of placement is also important.

Are there some inventions that are less suitable for the Mountain Territory, but more suitable for the Suspension Bridge Monastery, or somewhere else?

These are all things that Lu Heng needs to consider repeatedly.

But no matter what, once the potential of the 1% version of the psychic simulation stone is developed, it will inevitably usher in a wave of great inventions and creations.

The Lu Heng forces, including the Baron of the Mountains and the Tauren Lord, will enter a period of great growth driven by technological progress.

However...as the saying goes, some are happy while others are sad.

When Lu Heng's power was about to enter the fast lane of development, Pierre's family in Aicao Town fell into a rather bad situation.

After the widespread and comprehensive theft, Pierre still didn't know who the guy was who stole his money and various supplies.

He was fucked the whole time and never got back at anyone. Isn't that frustrating?

It’s so frustrating!

In the face of danger, Pierre could only trust his eldest son Gabriel and assigned him three officials so that he could plunder more labor resources.

However, the labor force was not found, and his son and the officials disappeared, and it was not known whether they had been sent away.

Also lost contact were the cavalry troops that were following Gabriel.

These cavalrymen were extremely valuable, but they were suspected to have been completely lost, so Pierre did not dare to send more troops to look for his son.

With his eldest son Gabriel missing, Pierre, who is about to go to war, has to hand over the management of Wormwood Town to his wife and daughter.

Just as he was feeling anxious, a beautiful young woman with her long golden hair tied up high, walked up to him with a reserved and elegant manner, her chest puffed out.

She is Pierre's wife, Marguerite de Bourrias.

Seeing her husband sitting at the desk in a daze, Margaret had to use a gentle and charming voice to remind him in time:

"The Governor's official has arrived at our door on Pegasus. Go and greet him immediately."

Margaret placed the emphasis on "Governor," knowing full well that now was not the time to get sentimental about Gabriel.

The more important thing at the moment is to not let the Governor's officer feel neglected by a petty baron.

As for the government affairs of Wormwood Town, Margaret didn't think Pierre was doing a good job. She added:

"You are about to go to war, so you should trust your daughter's wisdom and let her do it."

The daughter Margaret was referring to was Pierre's eldest daughter, Cecilia de Bourrias.

As a girl who just turned 15, Cecilia still looks a little shy and immature, but she is already a beautiful girl known far and wide in Artemisia Town.

Her eyes, as deep blue as the starry sky, are the most charming, filled with a steadfast and unyielding look.

But Cecilia doesn't like to show her weakness. She prefers to tie her long light blonde hair into a single ponytail, making her look particularly serious and capable.

As the daughter of the town's lord, she has always been responsible for protecting the townspeople.

This made her seem somewhat out of place in Artemisia Town, like a solitary flower blooming in the wilderness.

At this moment, Pierre's new first-in-line heir, Miss Cecilia, is in the dirty prison, listening to the prisoners' opinions.

Ever since Pierre was robbed by a mysterious super thief, his weak team of agents has been unable to find any valuable clues.

In desperation, Pierre began to suspect that many residents of Wormwood Town were traitors to the thief, which made his theft so successful.

So Pierre locked up hundreds of people who were suspected to be undercover thieves.

They generally had to pay more or less fines, and in some cases, all their property was confiscated.

Of course, Pierre felt that the number of people arrested was not enough.

At this moment, he was reading the code of the Holy Blessing Empire and a series of temporary regulations issued by himself.

He was trying to find out the townspeople's last psychological bottom line and wanted to arrest as many as possible without a riot in Aicao Town.

However, after Cecilia's review, it was obvious that half of those who were imprisoned and deprived of their property by her father were wrongly accused.

Many prisoners are not even accomplices, let alone the main culprits.

As for the remaining half, Cecilia also highly suspected that they had been treated unfairly.

So...correcting the many unjust, false and wrong cases caused by her father has become what Cecilia is doing.

For Pierre, if he had a choice, he didn't want to put the burden on Cecilia.

As for his daughter who tried to enforce the law impartially, Pierre felt that she was too young and too naive.

Did he arrest so many people in pursuit of fairness and justice?

Of course not. If he can't catch any accomplices after he is robbed, how can he maintain his rule here?
