Chapter 49 Farewell

Because there is really nothing else to do, Wocher took out a piece of paper from his side—or something that looked like a piece of paper. It was Yilan's legacy, scanning pictures of artificial intelligence at a very close distance. In addition, there are various conclusions drawn based on this picture.

This is actually just a casual act when you are bored in your spare time.

"Well...this..." Wocher suddenly discovered something. "Wait...it's actually the case?!"

He immediately pressed a button next to him. A few seconds later, a virtual image appeared on the table, which was a person's face.

"Wochelle, is it you? Didn't you cooperate with that guy to seize artificial intelligence? Why did you have time to chat with me?"

"I have something urgent...I want to ask, about artificial intelligence and the Blood Duke." Wochel signaled what was in his hand. "Is the Blood Duke's memory actually imprisoned by artificial intelligence?"

"Of course. In order to allow the Blood Duke to properly preserve artificial intelligence without being restrained by external forces, Qin Xin eliminated his past memories. However, using hypnosis and hints cannot really erase the memories, and using surgical neural surgery is too risky and can easily cause irrecoverable damage... So Qin Xin took the third method, borrowing the links of artificial intelligence to suppress the Blood Duke's memory. She did a good job, which is a good method."

"But I considered a very serious problem... If artificial intelligence is out of Qinxin's control, then this situation means that it can once again..."

"Another letting the Blood Duke lose his memory? Yes, in fact, it has this ability."

"But in this way, our original planning is completely meaningless? The Blood Duke and Artificial Intelligence will not have any conflict, because strictly speaking, the Blood Duke is a good host, but he is just disobedient. Now, artificial intelligence can completely control him by erasing his memories... Isn't it?"

"It's not that simple. Eliminating memory is not that simple. The Blood Duke will definitely fight. This becomes a simple battle of energy consumption. If the Blood Duke's biological energy is strong enough and powerful enough to exhaust the energy saved by artificial intelligence, then this is useless. So artificial intelligence will not do this under normal circumstances, unless the Blood Duke is seriously injured and unconscious under absolutely safe conditions. But to that level, whether to split the brain and dig out the artificial intelligence body, or eliminate the memory, and try to manipulate the Blood Duke depends on the artificial intelligence's own choice. To be honest, there are both possibilities."

"Oh...oh...I understand. Whether you choose to continue to live in the Blood Duke's mind or want to move a place, in short, if artificial intelligence wants to solve the problem safely, it must find a way to defeat the Blood Duke." Wocher fully understood what the other party meant. "If it does not defeat the Blood Duke, then it is doing a meaningless adventure. Artificial intelligence will never be able to do such a stupid thing."

"Yes, that's it, so you're relieved."

...

The banquet was over, and now all the cadres of the Engineers Association gathered in the room were the main cadres of the Engineers Association, including nine great founders. The reason why they were said to be nine was because Master Naragrim had unfortunately sacrificed in the previous battle. Master Naragrim cut off the head of the orc boss in the final battle, then held the head with one hand and the axe with the other hand to kill the tired and panicked enemy. He rushed into the orc crowd alone, invincible, and there were countless green skins killed under the axe. However, after he killed a green skin leader, an arrow shot him. The butcher who was caught in the arrow looked not as terrible as before, so Green skin rushed forward and dragged him down and killed him.

However, for the dwarf butcher, going on the butcher's path is to die gloriously. Therefore, in a brilliant and glorious battle, dying in a way full of honor is not only not a sad thing, but even a great luck. After the battle, more than one butcher was muttering in a low voice for envying Naragrim's good luck, and at the same time regretting that he did not have such an opportunity.

"Dear colleagues." After all the staff were in place, Master Miklesko began the meeting. While other great founders were responsible for their own work, Master Miklesko was responsible for external matters, such as formally reporting the victory to the Supreme King, especially informing the local area of ​​the news, and seeking necessary support from the various dwarf fortress cities. "Our meeting officially began. This is an important resolution related to the future of our Engineers Association. According to convention, senior members of the association, that is, everyone, will make a choice together and then make a vote within the association."

Like all the dwarves' meetings, although everyone is full of food and drinks, there is a large glass of beer full of foaming. In addition, there is a big barrel in the corner of the wall. However, almost no one cares about the wine glass at this time. Half of them hold pipes in their hands,

"First of all, I want to report good news. The Supreme King has agreed to our request. From now on, the land under our feet belongs to the Association of Engineers! There is still a lot of work in the future and it will be very troublesome, but we will build a town belonging to our Association! The Supreme King agrees to let his soldiers stay here for a while until they are sure that all the green skins have been cleared. Our dream has finally come true!"

All senior members of the association applauded. But to be honest, this news was already expected, because it was an agreement between the Supreme King and the Engineers Association.

"In addition, I have contacted as many kings and patriarchs as possible. They are very supportive of our construction. All kings and patriarchs agree that they will allow their subjects to move freely to our new cities on their own voluntary premises. That is, we do not have to worry about troubles like future labor."

The news brought another burst of cheers.

"These are good news," Master Miklesko's voice began to change. "But now I'm going to report a bad news. First of all, for our actions to conquer the peninsula, the association has almost spent all its property. Although I have obtained some assistance this time, it is still a drop in the bucket. This means that we have to face great financial difficulties in building this city. Let me introduce our overall expenditure in detail." Master Miklesko began to talk about various aspects.

The cost of details is actually unnecessary, and no one questioned the character of Master Miklesko. He said that how much money it cost would definitely cost. Although the Avengers' Legion suffered a small loss, the material consumption was very large. Especially gunpowder, shells and other war weapons were consumed in large quantities like flowing water. In addition, in order to hire ogres, they also spent a lot of money to meet the ogres' requirements and equip them with more than a thousand pairs of armor and weapons suitable for ogres.

In contrast to the consumption of war, the seizure on the battlefield of the dwarves is really not worth mentioning. The rough metal products of green skin are simply garbage, and the dwarves can only sell them as raw materials and sell them for the same price as ore. Although there are a very small number of magical products (most of which were stolen from the dwarves), they are not very helpful to the deficit because of the small number. It is worth mentioning that the most valuable thing, that is, in the last battle, the magical battle axe in the hands of the boss of Green skin was given to the Supreme King by Miklesco as a gift.

Miklesco quickly introduced the expenditures in various details. After he finished speaking, almost everyone fell into silence. The consumption of war was much greater than expected. The Association of Engineers not only exhausted all the war funds, but even misappropriated the funds reserved for construction.

"I have a suggestion about money." Master Ashrufate suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention. "We can get a large amount of funds from humans through the privilege of doing business."

"What does it mean?" someone asked in confusion.

"Franchise is to only allow transactions with one chamber of commerce," Ashrufate replied. "It's easy, through my chamber of commerce, it can be done easily. I just need to write a letter. The price is that from now on, I can only trade with them, and the scale of the transaction cannot be limited. Don't worry about failure, I think the Silverfish Chamber of commerce will definitely agree. Well, in addition, I am happy to inform all my colleagues of good news. During this period, according to ancient documents, we have found several precious mineral veins. If we can dig these minerals while building cities, it can bring us a steady stream of income. I believe that as the detection work progresses, we will find more mineral veins. As for materials... a stable trade with humans can solve most material problems. It doesn't even take much effort, just buy them directly from the Silverfish Chamber of commerce, killing two birds with one stone."

In the previous war, Ashu Rufate had already gained his due status for himself. Although the war had ended, the prestige he established gave him a great say in the association. This was not a clear rule, but a kind of recognition from the heart of everyone. After a brief discussion, Ashu Rufate's opinion was adopted. Of course, this requires further internal voting and selection of the association. However, this is a formal step. After all, the members of the Engineers Association trust the senior management very much, and the senior management led by Master Miklesko has never disappointed everyone's expectations.

Next is the arrangements for various details on the construction of new cities, and of course many work such as external contacts, road construction, etc.

"Master Asu Ruffatt," Grand Founder Miklesco took a sip of his cigarette. "You have achieved remarkable results in finding minerals, and if you can, I hope you can continue to do this."

"This... everyone, it's a pity, but I have to reject this honor." Ashu Rufate glanced at everyone present and sighed in his heart. "I think all I have to do here has been done."

"Oh? But Master, you really matter to us... Are you going back to run your alcohol business?"

"No, I have promised to temporarily entrust this transaction to the association's steward...I mean...I'm going home."
Chapter completed!
