Chapter 428 - 422: There Are Always More Solutions Than Problems
All along, Leon was only responsible for proposing ideas, with all specific execution handed over to his subordinates. The construction of the Undead Factory was no exception.
As the Undead Mine smoothly began production, subsequent projects of the Undead Steel Factory and Forging Factory were fully handed over to Cecilia to assist Laksha. With no urgent matters at hand, Leon decided to thoroughly study the Star Realm speedboat and Astral Sailboat he brought back from Tunaras, as well as the Hell War Machine confiscated from Aphnas.
Operating those Githyanki vehicles requires mastering Spiritual Energy, and starting those Hell War Machines requires infusing the engine with soul coins... The power of the Hell War Machines comes from soul combustion, making it somewhat cumbersome to use. Leon hoped that after modification, they could run on ordinary fuel.
The ideal is full, but the reality is skinny. If he had mastered Mechanical Techniques in advance through Golden Finger rewards, he would definitely have made some findings. Unfortunately, he didn’t; he even didn’t study mechanics in college, being a magic idiot, destined to only superficially understand the essentials and merely engage in some exterior decoration.
Time flies, and another half a year goes by in the blink of an eye. Tasserra, Cecilia, and Fiora’s bellies still show no movement.
The emperor isn’t anxious; the eunuch is worried—Isily hoped Fiora would take the initiative a bit more, and not be too conservative and restrained in the pleasures of love... She was the only one who thought so. Sometimes, in the deep of night, she would let her imagination run wild, knowing that after a few more years, she would enter the young adult stage where she could lay eggs.
Cecilia looked for reasons in Leon, thinking he was too young, having just entered the young adult stage for a few years, while most dragons wait until mid-young adulthood to gain fertility.
Tasserra, meanwhile, buried herself in the vast sea of books, scouring for Magic Books and Magic Items that could temporarily elevate life levels, sending letters to known Mages for help.
