Chapter 110 - Three Issues
"Come, let's meditate in my room today hehe." Robin laughed shamelessly, it's been almost twenty years since he last visited a brothel in the village next to the cave, in that period he got too old to enjoy the beauties, then too busy to think about it...
Mila's face flushed red and she hit the ground, "Forget about it, there won't be any *meditation* before the wedding ceremony!"
Robin raised his shoulder and said, "And that's not going to happen any time soon. Your Highness' marriage ceremony will surely be a big event and will catch the eyes of the whole kingdom, and I'm not willing to put my concerns aside and sit down to prepare for something like that, the family also has not enough resources, no men, no free energy to spend preparing for such a big event..."
Mila advanced, gently grabbing Robin's arm and hugging it between her breasts, "I didn't ask that you do the wedding now, but at least give some preference to your fiancée's family, okay?"
"...Demoness, Alright! I sold a pair of rings to the royal family for 20,000 gold, but that's because I promised them a big discount in exchange for my protection, I could make a pair of rings for the Bradleys for 100,000."
Then he pulled his hand and continued on his way to his house accompanied by Zara, who still does not understand what meditation has to do with marriage...
"I can't believe you are giving your father-in-law's family five times the price of strangers!!" Mila hit her foot on the ground and yelled
"Thank heavens that I like you or else I wouldn't have given them anything, see you later~" Robin laughed out loud and continued on, leaving Milla not knowing if she should feel flattered or insulted to her family…
But after a few seconds, she remembered that she was currently living with him, and she followed silently.
-----------------------
As soon as Robin arrived at his house, he told the two girls not to knock on the door for his incoming seclusion no matter what happened, and if one of them brought food, she would just leave it in front of the door, and then went straight to his room, in which he had previously secluded himself.
Barely two hours have passed since he came out of the room after months of seclusion, and now he is forced back again...
During his previous seclusion, Robin was able to create a technique by which he could quickly restore his depleted spiritual strength!
Relying on this remarkable technique, another idea struck him, and he immediately began to use it... The idea is simply: since he was able to speed up the recovery process, why not push the limits a little and increase the maximum of that energy in the human body?
And this mentality paved the way for making a basic technique to strengthen the soul power!!
Now, given the same period of time as before, he could make more talismans and get less tired, when he tried both techniques and checked their effects, he immediately wrote them in a way that it could benefit anyone, just like that the productivity of the talisman makers would rise dramatically.
The Soul Strengthening Technique and the Soul replenishing Technique
are still somewhat in their infancy, and the boost in soul power that The Soul Strengthening Technique gives a cultivator over time isn't too big, but it's still very good for its class, as what can it be compared to?
It was the first technique invented to strengthen the so-called soul power!
That's why when Robin came out of his room he was very happy, he intended to show off the two techniques and teach them to the new talisman makers that his family gathered for him, and then he could start teaching them how to draw the talismans and begin slowly to set up his own factory
But the issue of the rebellion changed everything.
The idea of operating factories for the production of equipment requires the participation of thousands of workers from lands considered hostile, even if not hostile... Putting trust in thousands of people on such a sensitive process is foolish, any one of them would leak the secrets of what Robin intends to do
There is also the problem of families who will be handed a minor law technique in exchange for an oath of allegiance. Who can really guarantee their loyalty?
After taking the technique, they could disregard the oath simply by saying that they are enemies from the start, and the citizens of the new lands will applaud them for their cunning and laugh at the invaders...
Even if one of them leaks the technique to the nobles of the kingdom of Dolivar, it will be a problem!
There are also the potential talismanic painters... they all came for money, and surely someone will try to leak what they learn for money also.
Those particular people will have talisman making technique, Soul Strengthening Technique, Soul replenishing Technique... they will literally grab Robin by the neck!
These three branches are considered the death of the current Burton family, if one of them decides that money is more important than loyalty... everything will be over.
Hence the need for new innovation.
Currently, Robin has to:
- Creates a fire minor heavenly law technique from scratch to give it to the new nobles
- Find a way to mass-produce weapons categorized as low-level at least, the products must at least be stander low-level categorized weapons, not some fakes, and there must be a surpass to sell commercially
-Finding a solution to the problem of possible betrayal...
And all of this must be done within one year!!
there can't be any delay or any defects, should any of the three not be done before the time limit, everything will fall apart...
The Burton family's forces in the new lands face great pressure from the rebels who surround them from every side, and now they will have to guard the places where the new factories are built...
Even by withdrawing and gathering them in a fortress or two, this would give the rebels a chance to gather into a large army!
When the news is leaked, the resolve of the great families and the poor class will be slightly shaken, but the hidden hand of the Kingdom of Dolivar cannot be taken lightly...
In fact, a year is already a very long time for them, for every day Robin takes to solve the three problems, soldiers will die in the new lands...
---------------------------------
After a month...
Robin decided to start with the easy one first, so he devoted himself to choosing a fire minor heavenly law and wrote a technique for its first stage...
For someone who wrote down techniques for the first stage of 3 different Major Laws, this was like child's play!
After only 25 days, the technology was ready on his desk, waiting for its users.
Then heading over to the second easiest task... a way to craft categorized weapons.
According to General Edward's explanation, the classification of equipment is closely related to metals used for manufacturing it, and the problem is that stronger metals need strong cultivators to form them, and therefore they are not available to arm entire armies.
The main issue is that those metals are not melted by normal fire, even if a saint using the laws of fire can melt these metals, they are still small quantities that cannot be mass-produced
That is why here comes the need for a fire strong enough to melt these metals, and at the same time, ordinary citizens can use this fire continuously without danger...
This idea eluded him for three days, just sitting in his place not knowing where to start, he would just get up to get his food from behind his door then come back to sit again...
The subject was much easier in his head, as he intended to use the idea of talismans in some way to strengthen the fire inside the furnaces.
But in practice, Fire talismans are for one use, so what kind of skin would withstand such heat for prolonged periods? Secondly, even if he made it that the fire talismans are strong enough to withstand the heat, the activation seal makes it that the fire talismans become ineffective after one use.
I that's the case, how many talismans should be used every day to support the furnaces? should make a talisman factory only be dedicated to making hide talismans for the furnaces?
Simply, if he intends to operate a factory that produces large quantities of weapons daily, he cannot rely on single-use talismans anymore.
Therefore, after he was thinking of a way to smelt metals, he began to think of a way to get rid of the one-use policy, and a way to protect whatever the patterns are written on from intense heat!
After two more days, specifically on the 30th day since the seclusion began...
Robin opened his eyes and rushed out of his room, rushing towards the patriarch's office!
