When Yasuo and Jhin walked away and their aura gradually disappeared, Valyard and Annie returned to Salvadion.

"Well, I'm going to find a way to enrich the country and strengthen its army. You go talk to Ryze about this world line problem. It will be more convenient if we split up."

Balliard's allocation is very reasonable. He will search for solutions to the problems in his monthly exam world line, while Annie will find solutions to the problems and troubles in Anne's monthly exam world line until they enter again.

After taking a monthly exam of the world line, they will then make plans based on the plans they found.

"……Can."

Anne rolled her eyes at Balliard. How to enrich a country and strengthen its army? There are many such things in Tibbers's database. Although it has long lagged behind the interstellar era in which she lived, Balliard's monthly test

The world line is just a feudal monarchy country, and those backward plans are much more advanced than the feudal era.

And her world line involves demons, Shadow Island, and gods. It is obvious that a child like her cannot interfere with this matter, but she is asked to find a solution? Your identity as the monarch of Shadow Island was eaten by a dog.

? However, Anne still did not shirk, she would not say that she could not do it.

"Okay, I'll go first?"

Balliard left the classroom, walked out of the academy, and walked towards Gragas' tavern. The road to enriching the country and strengthening the army. First of all, the magic side of the road to enriching the country and strengthening the army can be ignored. Although there is still a world line

There is a possibility of rune energy recovery, but the rune energy will not recover in a short period of time. If you plan to use extraordinary power at this time, the country will be finished long ago.

Therefore, if he wants to strengthen his weak Jin State in a short period of time, he must rely on the power of science and technology.

"Is this what you came to me for?"

In the tavern, Heimerdinger's projection robot was "drinking" wine as usual, without any change in his demeanor.

"You must have a way, right? After all, you are a big boss in science and technology. I believe that no matter what era or country you are in, you can find a way to enrich the country and strengthen the army."

Heimerdinger is not the only representative of the technology side. However, Heimerdinger is indeed the most knowledgeable, the most talkative and the least likely to get angry among the technology side bosses. In comparison,

Ike is relatively science-oriented on the technology side. He is not a scientist at all. He just relied on his talent to learn mechanical manufacturing. Although, after "learning a little", he created a "z"-shaped drive that can travel through time.

It's incredible, but it's true.

As for other technology giants, there is Ziggs, who is also a yordle like Heimerdinger, but this is a blasting maniac. Even if there is a way to "strengthen the army", in the end I am afraid that it will just be a militancy.

In addition to these people, there is another big boss on the technology side, namely Victor, but they are busy promoting "evolution", so how can they care about the life and death of humans in the lower and backward era?

"There is a plan, but why should I help you?"

In Heimerdinger's laboratory, Heimerdinger picked up the report on Balliard again. In addition, there were two training plans for Balliard, one of which was provided by an insider.

Sess, the provider of another plan is Ryze. The three of them are all considered to be Balliard's mentors. However, only Ryze is the head teacher, Nasus is the assistant teacher, and Heimerdinger is just a teacher.

Psychological counselor.

"Are there any conditions? Well... you can also put forward some conditions, but let me say it first, I will not agree to harsh conditions."

Balliard believes that Heimerdinger is willing to help him, because Heimerdinger is an experimental maniac. Once he is interested in Balliard, he will carry out various research on Balliard and complete the monthly examination.

World Line is a case study for Balliard. Balliard believes that Heimerdinger would rather study a successful case than a failed one.

"Okay, I won't put forward harsh conditions, but I haven't thought about the conditions yet. I'll come back to you later."

Heimerdinger in the laboratory thought about it for a while and felt that now was not the right time to make a request to Balliard because his research on Balliard was not yet comprehensive.

Where is the upper limit of Balliard's ability? Only after obtaining fairly complete research results, he will put forward the requirement to be in a more difficult position within Balliard's ability, so as to maximize the value of the experiment.

"no problem."

Balliard agreed immediately. If he asked again in the future, it would mean that he had no requirements. Anyway, it would be him in the future who would be troubled by Heimerdinger's request. What does it have to do with him now? Besides, he

I still don't know what kind of path I will take after joining Salva. What if... I leave Salva? By then, Heimerdinger will no longer be able to come to him to collect debts.

"Now, tell me what is your national strength level? Population, land, economic status, food output, mineral output, weapons output, male to female population ratio, aging level, adult human body strength..."

Heimerdinger told the information that Balliard needed to provide bit by bit. Balliard was a little embarrassed when he heard the first two, but after hearing the series of information behind him, the embarrassment on his face suddenly disappeared.

It's gone.

"Well, the population is still tens of thousands, and the land is quite vast. As for other information... it's really meaningless."

Economic situation? The market doesn’t even talk about the economy. At most, it can only be said to be at a barter level, and those and so on

What kind of output is there? There are no such production activities in Jin State now, so the output is of course zero. Besides, he still doesn’t know what mineral deposits are nearby.

However, the Jin State still has its advantages. For example, although the population is only tens of thousands now, as long as Valliard has the basic personnel, systems, and facilities to build a strong country, the population and other things can be raised.

As for the land, the area around the City of the Sun is all desert, with a few oases occasionally. Since it is difficult for other forces to reach into the desert, aren't those deserts the territory of the Jin Kingdom?

"In other words, you plan to build a country from scratch?"

Heimerdinger on the other end was full of dark thoughts. He was tugging on his beard and accidentally pulled out a few strands. What kind of country is tens of thousands of people? At most, it can be regarded as a larger tribe. Moreover, even production and business activities are not

No, to say this is an immigration team from one country is to praise the Kingdom of Valliad. After all, the countries that can immigrate are very powerful and are the backstage of the immigration team.

"Absolutely. However, my prestige there now is extremely high, which is equivalent to Azir's prestige in Shurima. As long as the relevant system can be established, it is not an unattainable goal to make the country rich and the people strong."

It is naturally wishful thinking for normal people to build a country from scratch. Let alone the country, just running a small gang is enough to make it difficult for ordinary people to start. And Balliard is not an ordinary person, but what he wants to build is not either.

What a small gang, but a country with many enemies.

"On the continent of Shurima? Or the City of the Sun. Let's do this. I will give you nutrients and formulas that can improve the fertility of the land, as well as plant seeds that can grow and reproduce for several generations in a short period of time, and support you with ten fully automated machines.

Engineering robots and improved environmental transformation plans, within three months, the area around the City of the Sun will be a vast jungle. In this way, your country will not have to worry about food problems in the next ten years."

Heimerdinger also found a score sheet for Valliard's monthly exam that was automatically recorded by the Observation Bureau. It recorded what Valliard had done, which naturally included the establishment of a new country in the City of the Sun.

"As for weapons, I will give you a robot to search for mineral deposits. Once you have the mineral deposits, with your reputation in Jin, it will not be difficult to recruit suitable craftsmen. As for economic development, it depends on your own diplomatic methods.

Already."

"Can't you provide some genetic potion that can strengthen humans? If there are a thousand tubes of potion that can elevate ordinary people to the master level, I can destroy everything with just those one thousand soldiers."

If the Jin Kingdom wants to develop, resources are a very serious problem. However, since Heimerdinger can transform the natural environment in a scientific way, resources will not be a problem. However, if the surrounding area of ​​the City of the Sun becomes a jungle, then the princes will

We can't sit still, we still need a strong army.

"You have a good idea. That kind of potion is not available, but it is expensive and the cost is not proportional to the income. Are you sure you need that kind of potion? For one million standard rune coins, I can sell you one or ten bottles.

10% off for the above, and 20% off for 100 bottles.”

Heimerdinger has studied that kind of potion, but unless it is a highly restrictive potion that does not take into account the condition of the human body, drains the human body's potential and can only make unilateral progress, it is basically impossible to produce it in low-cost batches. It is true that

That kind of medicine, even if it only improves the physical fitness of the soldiers to the master level, is enough to allow Valliard to run rampant in a world without extraordinary people. However, Salvadion will not destroy others at will.

Potential, even if those people volunteer, it violates the regulations.

"Forget it then. For such an expensive potion, I might as well give them a piece of chain mail. At least they have 40 points of armor. If the money is enough, a thorn vest for each person is not a problem."

No matter how powerful a grandmaster is, they are only in the category of mortals, and the weapons and equipment produced by Salva are once again the weapons and equipment of extraordinary people. It is not easy for mortals to destroy these equipment. A thorn vest can not only make it difficult for the enemy army to

It can break defenses and rebound damage, and it's not expensive. It's a rune requirement, at most one hundred thousand pieces, which is much better than a million-dollar potion.

"The Thorn Vest is indeed suitable for battles between mortals, but it does not allow you to forge it without limit. There are not many reserves of world rune fragments related to Salvane. Everyone uses the same world rune fragments within a certain period of time.

There is a limit to the number of times, unless you can find forgers like Ornn and Poppy, it is almost impossible for an army to have one Thorn Vest."

Heimerdinger directly rejected Balliard's naive idea. Although Salva can save manpower and directly cast related weapons through the casting system, due to the omission of manpower, the manpower originally attached to the casting was

The power of the artifact needs to be supplemented by the power of world rune fragments. Although manpower is saved, it will consume more financial and material resources. When there is no suitable caster, the casting system can still be used, but Sal

With the development of Salva, is there still a shortage of casters? People like Valliad, who joined Salva not long ago, still want to use the casting system to cast artifacts.

"However, technological weapons are quite good. For example, the percussion guns still used by Piltover in most world lines, especially the percussion guns developed in the technological world line, will basically not be affected by your world line.

restrictions, and if you use the casting system to manufacture them, the price is very low. Of course, you can also equip assault rifles on a large scale. Theoretically speaking, in the feudal era where extraordinary people did not exist, no army could block the salvo of assault rifles."

"This is a good idea, but we need to find them a

Some instructors.”

Balliard suddenly discovered that as long as there were enough firearms and as long as the opponent was not a military spirit army, the Jin State did not need other troops. As for the military spirit army, the Jin State could train its own military spirit army to deal with it. Of course,

, if an assault rifle team is trained into a military soul, ordinary military souls can only eat peanuts and go to heaven.

"As the instructor for shooting training, you can go to Graves. This person should be familiar to you, right?"

In Salva, there are only a few demigods who use firearms, and by chance, Catherine, who is best suited to train military instructors, is a tomb robber this time... No, archaeologists, they don't train their victims to shoot.

level, and the other one, Jinx, can the victims taught by the madman cultivate an army well? Then there are Lucian and Senna, both of whom are sentinels of light. Asking Balliard to find these two is tantamount to looking for

beat.

As for Gangplank and Sarah, one has not yet graduated and the other is training to be a sailor. They do not have any shooting apprentices under their command. Tristana, who is also a yordle like Heimerdinger, is currently stuck.

In the fifth-grade monthly exam task, there is no qualification to accept apprentices and train victims. The last one, the golden demon-Kada Jhin, can this guy teach students?

"...Is there no other choice?"

If possible, Balliard is not willing to deal with Graves. He is a gangster, and he still owes him wine. He has not found what he wants now. At this time, he goes to ask for it.

Are you impatient with life? Or do you love this city deeply and want to become one with the city?

"If the extraordinary power of your world line has begun to recover, it is no problem to let the archers trained by Ashe and others teach those gunners. However, if the existence of extraordinary people is not allowed, firearms and bows and arrows are really different.

The difference."

Heimerdinger's reply had clearly told Balliard that other people who played with guns could not help him.

"So, I have no choice but to go find him? This is really not good news."
