Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 136: Cultivation Tank
Constantine's arrival gave Marvin a great sense of relief, but also accelerated the schedule of many of his plans.
The appearance of the necromancer Federer made him overjoyed. Since Sasha left, this guy had nowhere to go, so he just settled down temporarily in the White River Valley. It can be seen that he is very satisfied with the environment of the White River Valley.
There are very few necromancers as unique as him. He has studied necromancy deeply, but rarely uses it.
In his previous life, the current Federer might have started to lose control and started to try all kinds of stupid ways to become a lich.
But this time, his fate was completely changed due to Marvin's intervention.
He seemed to have found his home in the White River Valley—wait, maybe the word home isn’t quite the right word to describe it.
…
"Idiot, you put the transformation rune on the wrong place. This thing is used to enhance the strength of the living, not the dead. Do you understand?"
The alchemist, dressed like a turkey, jumped up and down, and was almost about to point at Federer's head and curse at him.
Veins on Federer's forehead were throbbing. He was already talkative enough, but he didn't expect to meet an even more talkative guy in the White River Valley.
What’s even more speechless is that when the other party yells at him, he can yell his name, but when he wants to fight back, he can only say: “Hey, that guy.”
Because the other party really has no name.
This is a wanderer who somehow ended up wandering to the White River Valley. After the battle with Zhu, Marvin had an in-depth discussion with the alchemist.
I was shocked to find that this was a person without a past.
In the words of the alchemist himself: "My first half of life seemed to have been ruthlessly erased by someone. So I think it is necessary to live the second half of my life well."
Marvin tested it himself and it was no ordinary amnesiac.
In order to find out who erased the alchemist's memory, it would probably require a legendary wizard specializing in prophecy to find any clues.
Maybe even Hathaway can't do this, because her area of expertise is destruction, so among the three towers, her tower is called the Tower of Ashes.
Anyway, the alchemist is a nameless man. He only knows that he is the greatest alchemist in history.
This statement is questionable - at least that's what Marvin thinks.
In order to deal with Zhu that day, the alchemist really showed off his skills.
However, after that, he never showed any difference from the average freeloader - except for jumping around and giving orders when Federer was working.
However, Federer was able to endure it. To Marvin, this combination was quite strange.
They were building the coffin that Marvin had brought back.
These coffins are extremely rare items. The sleeping lich spent a lot of time and energy to make them.
When Federer saw the coffins, he was immediately fascinated. He immediately began his own research.
After just two days, he had a general understanding of the structure and operation mechanism of these coffins. During this period, it must be said that the alchemist also had some credit.
Whenever Marvin tried to get the alchemist to make some alchemical products, he would always suffer from sudden amnesia - as if something was preventing him from transforming the alchemical formulas he had memorized into reality.
But this does not prevent him from frequently uttering some inspiring words when he is Federer's assistant.
These are all proper nouns.
Marvin was confused as he listened, but every time Federer heard it, he would look as if he had suddenly understood.
This peak-level second-level necromancer also possessed a very high level of comprehension. After Marvin pointed out the general direction of the transformation, and with the help of the strange alchemist, he completed the transformation of the first coffin in just three days - no, it should be called a [culture tank] now.
The function of the training tank is very simple, which is to slightly enhance the physical fitness of the person who enters it.
The conditions for using this thing are also very harsh, and only first-level creatures can enter.
After ensuring the safety of the culture tank and preventing it from transforming into monsters like the Corpse Seeker, Marvin selected a young man with the weakest physique as a volunteer from among the loyal guards.
The boy lay in culture tank No. 1 for a full half day, and Federer and the alchemist were also busy running around for a long time.
Marvin had been watching the whole process, and he was also very nervous. After all, the plan to transform the coffins of the corpse seekers into human biological culture tanks was only feasible in theory. If a monster really appeared, this young man who had always been loyal to himself and the White River Valley would have been sacrificed in vain.
This was something Marvin was very reluctant to see, so he repeatedly asked Federer about the probability of success.
"There is a 90% chance of successful enhancement and an 8% chance of failure, but it won't cause much damage to the human body."
"There is only a 2% chance that something unexpected may happen, but these accidents are all controllable. With me and that guy here, the whole process is controllable."
"We can always abort the whole process if there are any issues."
This is Federer's solemn promise.
So the reinforcement of the first volunteer finally began.
Marvin named it the "White River Valley Soldier Reinforcement" plan. If this one succeeds, then at least the original 20 guards loyal to the White River Valley will receive a reinforcement plan.
As for the adventurers who were later recruited into the guard team, including Drew—this guy has become the deputy captain of the White River Valley Guard—they also have to stand back.
Marvin must ensure the loyalty of the enhanced person. After all, enhancement is not free. According to Federer's calculations, each enhancement requires at least 500 silver coins of magic materials.
The first enhancement was free of charge, using the materials in the coffin. But after that, a large amount of money had to be paid.
…
"He's coming out."
It was almost evening when the skinny soldier finally staggered out of culture tank No. 1.
He touched his whole body and muttered, "It seems nothing has changed."
Marvin smiled and asked Federer to take him to the training ground nearby for testing.
Half an hour later, the test report came out.
Originally, this level 4 warrior had gained at least four free attribute points, including two points of physique, one point of strength, and one point of agility.
In other words, after this enhancement, he was able to increase his total level by eight levels!
The effect is quite significant!
In the next few days, the young man did not experience any side effects. It was exactly the same as the information he had obtained in his previous life. The coffin-converted culture tank was still very useful for low-level soldiers.
Marvin finally waved his hand and asked the remaining 19 guards, including Andre, to start arranging reinforcements.
This made Federer very busy. For this reason, Marvin found him an apprentice in River Beach City as an assistant. This apprentice did not have the talent to become a wizard, but he had helped alchemists before and had some experience.
Marvin ordered this plan to be carried out in secret. He built a laboratory in the basement of the castle for the use of the necromancer.
Federer was very busy, and the physical fitness of the 20 guard team members who originally followed Marvin was also strengthened in different ways.
Some gained three attribute points, and some gained four. Although none of them were free, their physical qualities were indeed enhanced.
That's enough.
After successfully advancing, they will become the backbone of guarding and patrolling the Baihe Valley at this stage.
Rather than those reckless adventurers.
…
As for advancement, Marvin has always wanted to go to Gem Bay to hire one or two professional training instructors.
But he didn't expect that this time when Constantine came for "vacation", he also brought him a surprise.
He brought with him two disabled veterans.
These two veterans were soldiers who participated in the battle with the red dragon Earl in Whirlwind Harbor. Their level was not very high, only level nine.
But they do have one ability, which is training.
After the battle , many members of both the Cyclone Harbor City Defense Force and other patrol teams retired due to injuries.
These two people are simple examples. They have a very good relationship with Constantine, so after being severely injured by the red dragon and wanting to find a quiet place to recuperate, Constantine took them to the White River Valley.
At least this place looks peaceful.
Ma Wen Gaoxin hired these two veterans as instructors for the White River Valley Guard.
One of the two instructors is a regular Storm Swordsman, and the other is a knight. White River Valley currently does not have the ability to carry out a large-scale cavalry program, but this knight can also pass on his knowledge to the members of the guard team.
As for the advancement direction of these security team members, Marvin took into account that they were mainly engaged in patrolling, so he decided to choose the easier-to-learn profession of "Storm Swordsman".
In this way, all members of the security team have a general direction for advancement.
They stopped the ineffective training and started formal training under the leadership of two instructors.
This made Marvin very grateful to Constantine.
…
Under the management of Marvin and Winnie, the affairs of the territory became well organized. The northern mine was redeveloped, and after a six-man team was sent to stay there permanently, the few miners also started working.
In the south, Marvin mobilized some farmers to renovate the abandoned docks.
Although this dock is not large, in future plans it will become an important hub connecting the east and west of the territory, and it can also echo the River Beach City.
It is now the busy season for summer planting, and the farmers have nothing to do at home. They have no complaints when being conscripted by the lord to work.
What's more, there are subsidies to be received. Most people are very motivated.
…
Seeing that most things in the territory were on track, with the legendary Constantine in charge, Marvin was no longer afraid of anyone coming to mess up.
So he didn't even rest for a few days and set off again.
This time, his target is Gem Bay.
He must recruit enough adventurers and then apply for the Wilderness Development Order - if things go well, he also wants to take a trip to the cursed Pearl Island.
There are too many things to do, so I can only do them one by one.
Marvin rode his horse, quickly approaching the spider dungeon, but the girl's face appeared in his mind.
“Lola…”
