Chapter 155: Captive

"Wake up, wake up."

"Um..." Sadako Yamamura opened her eyes from the thick fur. Su Jing was squatting in front of her. She rubbed her eyes, and then Su Jing pulled her up from the ground.

“What time is it now?”

"According to the time of the earth, it is about four o'clock in the morning." Su Jing turned the black ring on his hand. Sadako Yamamura noticed that it was exactly the same as the ring on Lu Mengyao's hand before. Su Jing pointed to the female mage who was still lying in the blanket and said simply: "We will go back to Fengliu City soon. The fastest speed."

"Uh...Where is Miss Lu?"

"She goes with us." Su Jing carried the female mage who seemed to have lost consciousness on the blanket to her shoulders. Her white jade-like arms slid out of the blanket. She put some kind of exquisite chain gloves on her wrists, locking her ten fingers and wrists, controlling the possibility of her making any spell casting gestures.

Seeing the strange and shocked look in Yamamura Sadako's eyes, Su Jing explained:

"She just fell asleep, powerful hypnotic drugs. She couldn't wake up for at least two days."

"Uh... OK."

After packing up their luggage, the three of them set out together and heading towards Fengjiu City to the east. After bypassing a snow-capped mountain, Su Jing and Sadako Yamamura arrived at Fengjiu City that night.

As they entered the palace of the kings, Galma Shifen was arguing fiercely with Ulfric and Storm Cloak.

"We should have killed all the evil wizards long ago! I told you, Copper will be very happy. As long as we send a few teams of soldiers to get the Mage Academy..."

"Don't be impulsive. My old friend. We cannot act rashly before finding out the truth. What's more, they may be the only ones who can help us get out of this predicament." Ulfric's dark circles seemed to be deeper, and he sat in a chair with some exhaustion.

When they saw Su Jing walking in with a coma woman in her arms, the few were stunned.

"Okay, my friend... Maybe you have a better explanation for this?" Ulfric twisted his beard and squinted his eyes at the woman in Su Jing's arms. "I remember the woman next to you was not this."

"Being handsome always has a special advantage." Su Jing shrugged, "This is my...uh, female slave. Sometimes I am not very obedient. Can I lend me a cleaner dungeon and let her reflect here for two days?"

"Hey, what are you talking about. Recruitment." Galma walked around from behind the table, "Where is the frost ghost I asked you to hunt? This is the adult test of every Nord, what about your grades?"

"There is no Frost Ghost, but there is this." Su Jing took out a crown of uneven dragon teeth like a magic trick from his hand, and placed it next to the wine glass on the table. "I think this should prove my ability better than a few insignificant Frost Ghosts."

"Talos is on... This is... a jagged crown! The crown of the Supreme King of Skyrim was cast with the teeth and bones of ancient dragons..." Ulfric gently picked up the crown from the stone table and felt the heavy weight in his hand, "Thank you. My friend, you have proved your ability greatly. From today on, I decided to call you... a bloodless person. You have proved your ability with another path, and perhaps the one we lack is someone like you."

Sure enough, the Lord of the Storm Cloak is a person who especially likes to give his men various titles. However, this is also an ancient tradition of the Nords. Through a person's nickname, you can roughly know the person's style of conduct.

"Uffric. Now the people of the Empire are almost at our door. What's the use of an extra antique?" Galma Shiquan walked around the military map irritably. "If we cannot defeat these emperors who suddenly have magical assistance, we should not think about convening a lord meeting. Without a lord meeting, what's the use of this crown?"

"I think... maybe I can help a little." Su Jing interrupted.

"You?" Galma. Stone Fist glanced at him, "Do you know what kind of dilemma we are facing now? The Empire has endless magic scrolls, and we don't even know where they got these things. It must be the weird mages living in Winter Castle, who... support the Empire because they think we Nords don't like magic."

"This is indeed the case." Su Jing interrupted again.

"So! They pretended to be neutral on the surface, but in fact they were secretly supporting Emperor** and providing them with magical supplies..."

"I am so frank, sir, I think your speculation is too arbitrary..." Su Jing interrupted for the third time, and the commander in bear skin turned around and stared at him dissatisfiedly, "What are you thinking, Tom?"

Tom Soda snapped his fingers and picked up a dagger that was inserted on the table.

"In fact, I am called the Iron Melter in our tribe. In our tribe, there are naturally some people who can control steel at will, and our mechanical art has reached its peak... If you provide me with a studio and enough raw materials, then I can provide you with powerful weapons and armor beyond this era - enough to fight against the magic of the Emperor, and even enough to sweep the entire continent and completely defeat the Somer people."

Under the gaze of Galma Stone Fist and Ulfric Storm Cloak, the sharp blade of the dagger bent, the hilt wrapped in leather began to loosen, and the rivets automatically fell off the knob and slung in the air... Then the dagger was pinched into a round iron ball, and then the iron ball extended out eight claws and turned into a ball spider, waving its limbs in the air.

"...What do you think?" Su Jing grabbed the iron spider into his hand and kneaded it into a ball again. "I can make the most exquisite equipment on the entire continent, called power armor in my hometown, which can enhance the user's movement performance. But the production speed may not be fast. Maybe it can only make about two to three sets of armor a day, but I can guarantee that as long as there are ten soldiers armed with this armor, you can capture any fortress, or even Dugu City."

Galma, Stone Fist and Ulfric, Storm Cloak looked at each other. The latter came over and patted Su Jing on the shoulder. He exclaimed in a low voice: "You can always surprise me, my friend. I swear in the name of the Lord of the Wind Helmet City and the true Supreme King of Skyrim Province that no matter what the future is, you and your tribe will always have my friendship. The Nords will not forget who is his friend, nor will they treat his friends unfairly. May this friendship be passed down forever in Songgard (the Temple of the Nords' myth).

"I'm very honored, my highness." Su Jing bowed, "If you don't mind, I think I can start working now."

————————————

Before, Su Jing had a guess:

If a one-star equipment can be continuously strengthened, can it be strengthened to the height of nine-star? If so, can this method be used to avoid the waste of prop cards? For example, directly use a one-star prop card to improve to the height of nine-star?

In the Marvel world, he once imagined creating a set of power armor for Sadako Yamamura, using the "Demon Hunting Dusk" on his body as a template. But unfortunately, his previous idea was broken. Gaiki clearly told him that this trick would not work.

Simply put, when an adventurer enters a certain world, the cards on him will be "recorded". Whether it is a character card, prop card or similar item. If you use the materials of this world to improve the equipment in the prop card, then unless you use a new prop card to "fill in" the "storage amount" required for the equipment upgrade, when he leaves this world, he will still restore the recorded card information when he enters the world.

In other words, unless the "change amount" is fixed with the prop card, all the "change amount" in the plot world will be cleared by the world center.

"...Oh my God. You are such a beast."

In a gloomy stone chamber on the bottom of the Palace of the Kings, Lu Mengyao sighed lowly. Two thick chains and shackles locked her feet, and then her hands were fixed by steel special finger gloves. Only the only way to cast spell was left.

"Good evening, Lu Mengyao's friend." Su Jing painted a roll of paper with a charcoal pen. "I think you should have a good sleep. This bed may be the most luxurious one in the palaces of the kings. I'll treat you well. If you tell these storm cloaks, you are the source of those magic scrolls of Emperor**, they will be happy to cut off your smart little head and hang it on the city gate."

"...I used to think I could see your lower limit. Obviously, I was wrong. You never have such a sense of shame, right?" Lu Mengyao pulled the chains on her feet and made a jingle sound, "When did you make me dizzy? I remember I didn't touch what you carried... Ah, it was when I kissed, and I understood. I have to say, I really appreciate your way of doing things that you do without hesitation."

"Don't say that, my dear friend. I love you so deeply, so I lock you by my side in this very romantic way. When I meet a romantic boyfriend like me, normal women will feel excited."

"It's an ex-boyfriend. And normal women will call the police."

Su Jing raised his eyebrows and continued, "Given your danger, I think it's not safe to let others guard you. So I put my workbench here. Next, we can work at the same time while re-cultivating the beautiful feelings that have been worn out by time and misunderstandings."

Lu Mengyao showed a dark-looking smile and asked, "What about the new woman you cheated on? Where did she go?"

"Master Academy. Maybe she can convince those guys to support Storm Cloak."

Su Jing put down the carbon pen, then reached out to wave to a pile of steel ingots placed on another table. One of them began to twist and deform. Then, among the tumbling solid steel, several steel bars with elegant arcs appeared in front of the two. As Su Jing's ten fingers danced rhythmically in the air, the steel ingots began to deform. They began to be divided and gathered, and each piece began to shape, turning into hundreds of different small parts and eight kinds of steel plates.

"Don't be stupid, they are so stubborn and will not participate in the battle for royal power." Lu Mengyao sneered, "Or I would have convinced them to vote for the Emperor."

"Well... part of what you said is correct." Su Jing looked at the parts and pondered for a while, "Ordinary college students may not be able to change their decisions, but the chief wizard is different. I mean, if an outsider successfully climbs into the seat of the chief wizard of Winterburg Mage Academy, then she can forcibly reverse the academy's policies. Even if the students cannot directly participate in the war, she can provide various support for the Storm Cloak, such as a large number of magic scrolls."

"Well, it's very smart. But, that Yamamura Sadako? That...introvert Yamamura Sadako? Are you too confident in her if you sent her to such a difficult task?"
