"Relax the restrictions on bestowing blessings?"
Mu En did not blame Gol for interrupting his conversation with Nausicaä; the elder craftsman had rushed over in a hurry, clearly having something important to report.
However, Mu En was genuinely surprised after hearing the content of the other party's request.
The villagers who were previously recognized and qualified for their outstanding contributions have all completed the transformation process.
These fifty-odd Blessed did not join the ranks of Blessed Warrior, but instead devoted themselves to various industries in the Valley of the Wind according to their own strengths and wishes.
With their mastery of Incantations, their superior learning speed and work efficiency compared to ordinary people, they should be able to support the current operation of the Valley of the Wind of the Wind.
"The current Blessed is sufficient; unless there are special circumstances, this matter need not be brought up again."
Although Mu En has the ability to convert more Blessed, he does not intend to lower the standards.
Golden Rune are not cheap; it takes at least a week to recoup the "profits" generated from converting each Blessed.
The work points he established were actually similar to a contribution system.
Even after Valley of the Wind develops its own currency, the contribution system will still be retained.
He hopes to prioritize giving this power to those who have truly contributed to the collective and whose character can withstand the test.
Moreover, Mu En has recently vaguely sensed something that requires foresight and may consume a large amount of Rune reserves, so resources must be prioritized for that purpose.
" My Divine Tree, you've misunderstood. I... never mind, I'll just be frank with you."
Gol realized his words might have been misunderstood, but he really wasn't there to pull strings.
"What I hope for is that you can allocate a few extra blessing slots, and... teach us all the Incantations." He boldly voiced his true thoughts.
"Reason?"
Even if one can master many Incantations, the Blessed's physical strength is limited.
We can't be like that hundred-eared man, throwing out high-level spells like they're free.
Allowing those Blessed specific areas to specialize in one or two Incantations also helps them to have a more refined control over their power.
"It all started when you asked me to try and replicate the weapons of the Tolmekia..."
Gol began to recount his findings.
When he took over that batch of " Storm " assault rifles, he, who had spent his whole life dealing with machinery, was instantly captivated by their intricate design.
As part of the Empire's current active-duty equipment, this thing is very difficult to buy on the market.
He immediately took several of his most capable apprentices and disassembled the rifle into pieces to investigate its contents, only to run into a "high wall" in the process.
Many key components of the Storm Rifle require extremely high machining precision.
The two old machine tools in the workshop were fine for repairing rough things like gun barrel bushings, but they were completely helpless when it came to these precision parts.
The feeling was like a septuagenarian going to a hair salon—willing but unable.
Just as Gol was at his wit's end, he noticed the wreckage of rifles destroyed in the battle.
The fracture surface is smooth as a mirror, without burrs, high-temperature burning marks, or tiny cracks caused by uneven stress.
That's the effect of the Order's Blade.
Gol's heart skipped a beat as he recalled the image of Por and the others training, splitting rocks as easily as cutting through rotten wood.
He immediately went to Yupa and, after much pleading, managed to borrow a Blessed Warrior.
Soon after, a complex-shaped part, modeled after the Storm Rifle, was born under the Order's Blade.
The cut surface is flawless, and the dimensional error is negligible, well within the replaceable range!
As long as the Order's Blade does not deviate from the category of "sword," it can Transfiguration and size at will.
This means that the sword can be transformed into the most precise milling cutter according to Gol's needs.
He even tried cutting a small piece of Ceramic Steel scrap, which took a little effort but he completed easily.
Its efficiency is comparable to that of the only currently available blade capable of processing Ceramic Steel, the Ohmu shell fragment cutter!
" My Divine Tree, the ' Order's Blade ' you bestowed upon me is simply the most perfect and versatile industrial tool in the world."
It doesn't generate heat, doesn't Transfiguration, can cut almost any material, and can easily Transfiguration to adapt to different processes.
"As long as the operator is steady and careful enough, the machining accuracy will far exceed that of any of our existing machine tools."
Gol spoke faster and faster, his eyes gleaming with a burning light known as the "soul of a craftsman."
"I remember you said that we need to strengthen the industrial base of Valley of the Wind as soon as possible, and we can't always rely on purchasing from caravans."
"But relying solely on us craftsmen, even with the addition of the new Pejite workers, our experience and abilities are far from sufficient."
"If you could use your power here..."
At this point, Gol seemed somewhat uneasy.
Logically, the power bestowed by the gods is of utmost nobility and should be regarded as the ultimate standard, used for sublime purposes.
Now he's suggesting using it as a milling cutter—won't that anger Lord Erdtree?
In fact, his worries were completely unnecessary.
"Oh right, how could I have forgotten about that!" Mu En suddenly realized.
Far from being displeased, he felt as if the clouds had parted and the sun was shining through.
Combining the Blessed with modern weaponry was an idea that came to him after seeing the Blessed Warrior' initial performance in battle.
Wouldn't it be a shortcut to temporarily replace the precision machining technologies that the Valley of the Wind hasn't yet mastered by integrating the power of Incantations into industrial production?
He had never imagined this application direction that Gol discovered.
The value of this Incantations when used in industrial production is clearly far greater than when it is used as a weapon to kill people.
This also served as a reminder to Mu En: the power system he possessed might still have many unexplored applications.
This kind of work cannot be accomplished by him alone; it requires more people with different knowledge backgrounds to try it.
He should have understood this principle much earlier. "Three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang."
"Your idea is excellent. The power of the Golden Order should not be limited to fighting or ripening crops," Mu En affirmed Gol's suggestion.
Gol paused for a moment, then a surge of joy welled up inside him.
His ideas were recognized by the Divine Tree!
"This matter will be entrusted to you to take the lead. I will give you an additional twenty blessing slots. The selection of recipients will be decided by you, Nausicaä, Mito, and the others. Refugees or people from the Valley of the Wind are both acceptable."
"The selection criteria are quick thinking, strong learning ability, and solid knowledge or unique insights in a certain field. Based on these, we will form a team... let's call it the ' Law Application Research Department ' for now."
"Your goal is to explore the possibilities of the power of Incantations in various industries, not just industry, but also to conduct further research in other areas."
"If I achieve results that satisfy me, the corresponding rewards and support will be plentiful."
Given that this is such an important and forward-looking task, Mu En will naturally not hesitate to invest in it.
Gol felt a surge of heat rush to his head, his heart pounding with excitement.
That was the feeling of being entrusted with an important task; he was ready to make a big splash.
"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!"
