Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor

The so-called Alchemy Workshop is temporarily just three wooden houses near the underground warehouse, serving as workspaces for Avril and the others.

There is another level underground, which directly connects to the depot storing various materials.

These Alchemy Workshops should have been built with bricks, but with winter coming, everything was in a hurry, so wooden houses had to suffice.

However, they are fully equipped with rune carving and alchemy experiment benches and tools, long tables for research and study, and cabinets and bookshelves for placing various experimental items.

Unlike blacksmiths who rely on experience, Zhuo Ya received good noble education and studied at the Dawn Society for a long time.

Zhuo Ya is more inclined towards being a scholar and, like Luo De, is accustomed to drafting blueprints, which leaves the room filled with various drawings hanging.

Luo De did not give prior notice nor have the guards notified her.

So Zhuo Ya did not know about Luo De's arrival and continued to focus on drafting blueprints with her head down.

Until the guard pushed the door open, and Luo De walked into the room.

"Lord."

Zhuo Ya stood up, smiling on her face.

She was dressed casually, wearing a dark robe with her long hair tied up with a cloth band.

"It seems you've adapted quite quickly, Miss Zhuo Ya."

Luo De smiled as he scanned the blueprints on the table, depicting some peculiarly fierce armor components.

"I might disappoint you…"

Zhuo Ya looked a bit embarrassed, "Recently, I've been studying the contents of the Necromancer's Tome and just finished examining the prosthetics Miss Avril previously made."

"Beyond that, there's no other achievement."

"It's okay, take your time."

Luo De wore a warm smile, "Research and development of new things can't be rushed."

"My lord, I have some questions."

Zhuo Ya hesitated for a moment and spoke slowly, "The material cost of such prosthetics seems high, it's not realistic to provide one for every amputee…"

"Yes, you are right."

Luo De openly added, "Only using it on high-ranking knights like Durant has value for me, your thinking is correct."

Zhuo Ya's thought is somewhat cold, but that's reality.

The extraordinary materials are already scarce, and prosthetics produced by Necromancy Alchemy cannot be equipped for every impaired person.

"Therefore, I think the Magic Armor you mentioned is the key to the research."

Zhuo Ya slightly frowned, her face full of doubt as she looked at Luo De,

"But I somewhat don't understand during my research, what is the difference between the Magic Power Hand Armor you proposed and the traditional Enchanted Hand Armor?"

"There's no difference at the starting point." Luo De said casually.

Zhuo Ya was stunned.

"No…difference?"

"It's just adding magic effects to equipment through runes, naturally no difference, but,"

Luo De paused, emphasizing, "Traditional Enchanted Armor is too limited."

"Most ordinary enchanted equipment has passive effects, the enhancement is limited due to runes, and the more complicated the enchantment, the harder it is to stack."

"More importantly, it is always an external gear without life."

"While Magic Armor should interact and connect with its user based on the ordinary Enchanted Armor."

After Luo De finished speaking, Zhuo Ya's eyes were filled with confusion.

Evidently, she did not understand it one bit.

Luo De knew he was a bit convoluted in his words, thought for a moment, and continued patiently explaining,

"For instance, a normal Enchanted Hand Armor can increase the arm's strength by one-tenth, but the hand armor made by Senda last time can double the strength under Durant's control."

"Though it's only for a dozen breaths, it's already enough to crush opponents easily."

"Ah, I get it now!"

Zhuo Ya's eyes slightly brightened, "You mean Magic Armor is controllable Enchanted Armor?!"

"You can understand it that way, but you must not be limited by the enchanted armor."

Luo De patiently reminded, "Enchanted Armor is only protective, but I want Magic Armor to also have offensive capabilities."

"Such as Magic Shock, Breath of Frost, Flaming Arrow, and so on."

Luo De continued speaking.

"Furthermore, Magic Armor should utilize Necromancy Alchemy well to bind with the user's body."

"This allows the armor to be controlled as freely as the wearer's body, instead of traditional armor adversely affecting the wearer's movements."

"The key is in the driving mechanism."

Luo De emphasized, "I hope through Necromancy Alchemy research, the armor can supply power itself, driven by a knight's breath, not merely spiritual power."

A knight's spiritual power is limited, if relying too much on it, powerful spells simply cannot be utilized.

Otherwise, the so-called Magic Armor would be no more than ordinary Magic Equipment.

"Yes, I understand!"

Zhuo Ya nodded earnestly, "Senda mentioned to me that you want the Magic Armor primarily to be used by knights."

"Additionally, I need to remind you that many things can be assigned to others."

Luo De drew a pyramid structure on the paper, pointing at the base of the pyramid,

"The lowest layer is basic manufacturing, components processing, and armor polishing, which can be handed over to craftsmen."

"The middle layer is auxiliary magic, material selection and production can be assisted by other wizard apprentices."

"As for you,"

Luo De looked at Zhuo Ya, "you should focus on the design of runes, optimization of control modules, and other challenging links."

"Great idea!"

Zhuo Ya's eyes widened, her face showing surprise,

"This will shorten production time and greatly improve research efficiency!"

"Yes, that's the power of teamwork."

Luo De nodded with a smile.
