V8.Chapter 67

Bertram felt like he was going crazy lately. ←,

He was an official of the City Hall of Modo City. He was originally a private teacher of a noble family near the south coast. He was the first batch of officials in Modo City, and now his status in the city hall is equivalent to the supervisor level. He still remembers the scene of going to the temple for assessment when he was appointed. At that time, it really scared him into a cold sweat, because a priest actually used the spell to detect lies on him and conducted a detailed identity inquiry on him. Originally, he thought that a tainted person like himself could not become an official class, but he did not expect that he actually passed.

Speaking of which, it was also angry. At that time, it was obviously that he was the one who hooked up with the lady, but he didn't expect that it would be him who seduced the lady later.

On the surface, this nobleman looks sanctimonious, but in private, he is really full of bad water, and he has a set of methods to wash himself white. In any case, he started entering the city hall from that time, slowly sitting up from a clerk. Maybe for Modo City, it doesn't care about using some talents with tainted experience.

Bertram has a lot going for it lately.

He came to a warehouse in the south of Modo City early this morning before dawn. A lot of metal ingots have been stacked here, and there are three gray dwarves squatting and drinking.

"Old Bronzebeard."

Bertram greeted the leader of the gray dwarves in front of him, and then said, "How is it? Has this batch of metals been counted?"

Since last week, a large number of metal ingots have been secretly produced in Modo City. It is not known where these metal ingots came from. Bertram has neither seen ships carrying goods from other places, nor Get trade news from other sources. It was as if they had just popped up out of nowhere and had been assigned to him by the city hall to deal with. As an old man in Modo City, Bertram is very clear that when encountering such things that he does not understand, he should not ask or think too much about anything. Knowing too much is bad for you.

"It's over."

Since arriving in Modo City, Bertram found that the gray dwarves he met were drinking almost every day, and the old Bronzebeard stood up and handed over a document, and said, "The total is six thousand seven hundred and twenty. A metal ingot, thousands more than the previous batch."

"but."

"The craftsmanship of these metal ingots is still so bad! It is completely shoddy processing, and it is better for a dwarf apprentice to do it than them."

"But this batch of metal ingots seems to have other special metals. I need to take it back and re-refine it, maybe there will be a little accidental discovery. The last batch of metal has been re-melted, you can send someone later. Go to the blacksmith shop and take it out."

Bertram nodded, then signed and sealed the document.

The grey dwarves soon got busy, and with the help of a group of apprentices, they transported the metal ingots back.

"Head."

A grey dwarf who looked drunk said, "These metal ingots contain a lot of impurities. However, from the characteristics of the minerals, they don't seem to come from our world. Because we don't even recognize some metals."

The old copper beard turned around and gave him a cold look, and whispered, "Don't ask questions if you don't know."

"These metal ingots are not minerals of our world, they seem to come from below!"

Speaking of this, the old bronze beard pointed to his feet.

Of course, he was not referring to the Underdark, because the gray dwarves themselves lived in the Underdark, and they knew almost all the minerals in the Underdark. He was referring to the lower planes and came from other worlds. When the gray dwarf heard the words, he slapped smartly, then looked around nervously and stopped talking.

Since these metals are not from this world, but from the lower planes, there are too many things involved no matter where they come from, and they better not know.

Bertram also found the metal to be strange, but he was a smart man who knew what to ask and what not to ask. After handing over this batch of metal, he immediately took people to the blacksmith shop, where the second-refined metal was neatly prepared. Steel was sent to the golem factory, special metals were sent to the witch's quarters, and another batch was sent to the building department of the city hall. Recently, when Modo City is building a new batch of buildings, it seems that steel has been integrated into it, and steel bars as thick as a finger are poured into the building together, which can greatly increase the firmness of the building.

It's already afternoon after all this is done.

Bertram was sweating profusely. He felt that he should go to the city hall tomorrow to request the deployment of manpower, because the amount of metal delivered in each batch was increasing, and he would not be able to keep busy at this rate.

………………

Modo City. study.

An elegant looking half-elf woman in her thirties stood in front of Sauron. She was one of the officials of the city hall. Different from other places, it might be Sauron's personal concept, or it might be because of the Witches are sovereign, and Modo City allows women to become officials. Of course, they must have corresponding knowledge.

The half-elf lady in front of her was one of the candidates who passed the assessment. She was originally the housewife of a desolate aristocratic family in Leaf City.

"My lord!"

The plump and attractive half-elf lady in front of her eyes swirled. She did not dare to look directly at Sauron, but her eyes flickered. She said softly, "The delivery of the third batch of metal ingots has been completed. The gray dwarves found some accompanying rare metals from them. And a small amount of adamantine was found in the third batch of metal ingots."

"The production of the steel golem is on track, and the current supply of metal ingots is sufficient to last until next month."

"This is a statistical document."

"My lord can take a look!"

Soran took the document and glanced at it, then handed it back and said, "Very good. I'll leave this to you. I'll mobilize some people from the City Hall to serve as assistants for you."

"It's okay to go down."

The glamorous half-elf lady respectfully took the document, her eyes stopped on Sauron's body for a while, and then she bowed her head sadly and withdrew.

As the master of Modo City, the master of shadows, the protector of half-elves, the true god who walks in the mortal world, I don't know how many beautiful half-elves who want to test their beauty and climb on Sauron's bed, Sauron thinks about this There are no surprises, but nothing will be ignored.

Mortals want him to be clear.

Immortal life and immortal face alone are enough for many ladies to try their best to climb onto his bed and strip themselves clean and deliver them to the door.

but.

Sauron has gradually adapted to the status of a god. Unless there is a good enough candidate, it is almost difficult for him to be tempted.

Sometimes it was like this. Before Sauron was conferred a god, someone could easily walk into his life and become an important person by his side, but if he missed this opportunity, it would not be so easy to get close to him.

"The Iron Golem is already in motion."

Sauron sorted out the documents in front of him, and then said to himself: "According to the progress of history, there will be three months before the fourth wave of [Elemental Unrest]."

"The catastrophe of the saint has passed more than half of the time without knowing it."

The gods are still trying their best to restrain themselves, but this restraint will not last long. With the appearance of the four main gods of the elements, the real war of gods also broke out.

The confrontation of wind and soil.

The collision of water and fire.

The four main gods of the four elements are inherently repulsive. The gods of water elements and fire elements were the first to fight, and then the gods of wind elements and earth elements also fought. The struggle of the ancient gods of the four elements directly stirred the nerves of all the gods, and also caused the battle between the gods to break out again.

Unlike other gods, the ancient gods of the four elements really don't care about the life and death of the material plane.

Because they themselves don't have many believers on the material plane, and they rarely leave the element plane when they meet on the material plane, it is almost a situation where Mars hits the earth.

"More golems are needed!"

Sauron fell into deep thought and murmured: "The army of Modo City can fight against mortals, but it cannot fight against the real devil army."

"The Golem Legion of the Arcane Empire must be established."

"Only in this way can we prove against the devil. Maybe it's time to contact the towering spirits of the mechanical realm of Nirvana of Watches and Clocks."

Sauron laid the foreshadowing very early.

Let those tower spirits leave freely, in order to use their power when necessary.

………………

The Bottomless Abyss, the third floor, the Forgotten Land.

The demon Sauron sat on the throne of the magnificent palace, and to his left and right were two glamorous succubuses who existed as vases and maids. They knelt at Sauron's feet obediently, rubbing his shoulders and legs from time to time. Bring food and wine to your mouth. In front of Sauron is the fearful demon goblin warlock, who is currently responsible for most of the accounts of the Grumbar Arena.

"Western Mine needs to triple the manpower."

Sauron looked down at the demon goblins in front of him, and the Yogros demon next to him, and said solemnly, "My servant found some fine gold in this mine."

"It can forge better weapons for us!"

"Now I have appointed you as the director of the Western Mine. You lead all the more than 30,000 demons of the Sixth Army. My request is to increase the output of the Western Mine by more than three times within a week."

It wasn't that he did something wrong.

The Demon Goblin Warlock breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and hurriedly expressed his loyalty: "Your Excellency! There is no problem! I will bring someone over now!"

Just found pure gold!

It also thought that it was a little bit of money that he secretly embezzled was discovered, and it seemed that he had to be more careful in the future.
