Chapter19: The lamp!??!!???

Turning back, Lei Jiu glanced apologetically at Nicotine.

"Their knowledge seems lacking..."

Compared to these people, those who were nervous when Deng Shen appeared seemed too calm.

Monster? Ridiculous! Didn't you see the island owner leading the way?

Nicotine shrugged. What could he say? Could he not speak up in front of the new boss? Besides, he wasn't bothered by others' ignorance unless it was about magic.

Seeing this, Lei Jiu didn't dwell on the matter. He ordered two soldiers to bring the responsible person to his office for a meeting, while the remaining four continued on their way.

The group lingered at the integration of the agricultural reclamation area and the new territory.

After careful observation, Lei Jiu nodded in satisfaction. As expected, there was no trace of a seam; it seemed as though the two were always one.

Good. If there are any obstacles, perhaps these rare islanders will hesitate to expand into the new area, which is not what he wants.

Well, we need to set up a new task for the meeting and have the responsible people do more publicity. This is a reward from the gods for the hard work of the islanders of Huanghuang Island. As long as everyone continues to maintain, blessings like these will happen more often in the future.

Lei Jiu finished his thoughts and suddenly remembered that he hadn't checked Nicotine's properties. There were so many things happening that he forgot for a while.

Lei Jiu wasn't concerned about Nicotine's age of 277. Remaining in "Island War" for another 500 years made him effectively immortal.

However, the advantage of age was evident in Nicotine's attributes reaching their upper limits.

But with loyalty at 69, it was a bit low. Although defection wasn't likely above 60, expecting high self-motivation below 70 was unrealistic.

Lei Jiu wasn't adept at winning hearts with tears, unlike a certain Uncle Liu. He couldn't shed crocodile tears to evoke gratitude. In times like this, he admired Uncle Liu even more for his outstanding acting skills!

He lacked immediate means to influence Nicotine. With Huanghuang Island's unknown status, Nicotine wasn't a pawn. His only recourse was time, relying on the phrase "Long distance knows horsepower, and long time sees people's hearts."

While Nicotine's high combat power and intelligence were expected, Lei Jiu was pleasantly surprised by his commanding rate of 85 and his mastery as a tactical master.

This was fantastic news! As his subordinate, the stronger, the better.

Considering Nicotine's role in the former Brakada, Lei Jiu speculated he must have been a commander responsible for gods and monsters, given his high command attribute.

Lei Jiu harbored no doubts about the titles of gods, gods, and monsters. In the background of "Heroes and Invincible," Nicotine's race was gods, making his designation unsurprising. It was likely inspired by the story of Aladdin in "One Thousand and One Nights."

Aside from the unexpectedly high command, Lei Jiu's status as a nicotine alchemist thrilled Lei Jiu. With access to magic materials, there'd be no obstacles to his magic laboratory and alchemy laboratory plans in the future.

Of course, none of these actually excited him the most.

What excited him the most were the two lost prehistoric magics mastered by Nicotine: flying thaumaturgy and limping waves.

This was all strategic magic!

Flying thaumaturgy, in a world where developing an air force was impossible, was self-evident.

And Lingbo Weibu, in the sea with dense islands, the ability to walk on waves was exhilarating.

To make the most of these two magics, the most lacking thing was... the number of mages!

If only relying on Nicotine alone, it would be no problem to cast spells on a few people, but to send dozens or hundreds of people to the sky, it would be deadly for him.

For large-scale applications, as many mages as possible needed to be trained as soon as possible.

When the time comes, who dares to oppose him?
