Chapter Twenty-Six: Redstone Castle
"If it's not big enough, I'll cut your throat. Paul was so dissatisfied with the fuss of his subordinates that he didn't see His Royal Highness the Prince in the shop?
"Boss, that's a big deal. It was actually one of Paul's entourage, who swallowed and covered his neck, "Riftbeast appeared. ”
"Really?" both Paul and Thomas shouted in an instant.
"Really, someone brought a severed tail of the Rift Beast, and I saw it with my own eyes, and just now, someone bought it. Qin Sui swallowed again, "It's less than a foot long, and the transaction price is five hundred gold coins." ”
"Hiss-" There was a sound of inhaling cool air everywhere, a tail was worth five hundred, when did the gold coin depreciate to this extent?
"What is a Riftmon?" even Kareth looked confused.
"The magical creatures that came out of the magic energy rift are not at the same level as the strange beasts in the Black Curse Forest, and it is said to be a real magical life, and one of them was traded to the Theron Kingdom two years ago. Falling God suddenly said, "You should know the transaction price, right?"
This was addressed to Paul, who opened his mouth and exhaled with great difficulty: "It is said to be ten thousand gold coins......"
"It's done. Bai Xuan slapped his palm on the table, "Pull a team out and go hunt this thing back." ”
The jaws of the room fell to the ground.
"Your Highness...... This thing is very rare, it is a powerful magical creature, born with the ability to use magic, with its own magic shield, the one just mentioned, the successful hunting paid the price of a total of thirty lives in three hunting groups. Paul's face turned pale, "Otherwise, how could it be so expensive?" ”
"You're wrong. Thomas shook his head, "The Ripmon is expensive not only because it is rare and difficult to hunt, but because it contains extremely strong magical effects, and I have heard secret information from the Alchemy Society that it has the effect of bringing people almost back to life, so ......"
"Then it's all the more time you should go. Bai Xuan knocked on the table, "I'll make a plan." ”
Paul wept and mourned, nodding his head, shaking his head.
"Your Highness, I'll put the guards in order when I go back. Kares's face was solemn, he knew that Bai Xuan was not joking, and as a Templar, he was not afraid of any challenge.
Bai Xuan nodded, and ordered everyone to go home, Dong Lei had already asked people to move all the things in the post station to the castle, and then took Bai Xuan back to this new residence.
The castle is less than two kilometers away from the Juliu River, the area is not very large, the main body has been completed, but there are no walls and arrow towers, the stone is all from the nearby black volcanic remnants, it is a stone with a dark red pattern, it looks a bit like marble, so from a distance, the castle is not dusty, but with a little red.
"Is this a redstone castle?" Bai Xuan asked, and the castle name officially became redstone castle.
"Your Highness, there is nothing around here, so it can be expanded, and the terrain is also the highest, so you don't have to worry about the impact of the flooding of the river, and if you consider defense in the future, in addition to the city wall, you can also divert the river water over as a moat. Dong Lei pointed out the surrounding environment and introduced them to Bai Xuan one by one.
For the location of this castle, he put a lot of effort into inviting a special team of designers and stonemasons from the royal capital to build it, which is also because the Hofer family has a keen sense of business and sees the broad prospects of Ember City as a strategic location in the future, so they will build a base here.
After going around the castle and inspecting the surrounding environment by the way, Bai Xuan couldn't find any fault, the construction of the castle is likely to be considered for the scale of the fortress in the future, so in terms of military defense, it is basically impeccable.
"Good. Bai Xuan dismissed his intention to buy this place from Winter Thunder, "I hope that the administrative center of Ember City will also be set up here, which is also our common residence." I'll give you a portion of the previous construction cost, and you can continue building next to it. ”
"Your Highness, you don't need to be so troublesome, just invest the funds directly in the follow-up construction. Dong Lei bent down slightly, his fate was largely tied to His Royal Highness the Prince from now on, this was the biggest bet he had made in his life, and he made this decision in his heart after seeing Bai Xuan again after a few years.
I hope he can hold on to Ember City, no, he will.
Fat Viscount Winter Lei, as a hereditary nobleman, I don't know why, produced this blind confidence in my heart.
After settling down in the castle, Luoshen also had her own room, not far from Bai Xuan's room, even if the elves' pursuit of exquisite art made her accustomed to the so-called luxury facilities of humans, but the moment she walked into the room, she was still a little surprised.
The floor is covered with a thick and fluffy carpet, the patterns are elegant, all kinds of furniture are available, there is nothing superfluous, everything is delicate and not ostentatious, and the soft bedding smells like clouds and the sun.
It seems that human beings are not all good for nothing.
The fat man's aesthetics have been recognized by Miss Elf, so Bai Xuan is naturally no exception, and the most satisfying thing for him is the huge oak desk in the middle of the room.
The room was a huge living room, with a large bed in the middle, a desk in the middle, bookshelves, a dining table, and a bench and coffee table in front of the fireplace.
Both Kareth and Winter Thunder retreated to arrange their own affairs, and Bai Xuan stayed for a moment before he pulled out the black cloth bag from his belongings and asked the guards to invite Luoshen over.
The elf has changed his outfit, no longer a leather armor battle skirt, but a green short skirt with a shirt, the clothes are unique to the elf, Bai Xuan can't tell what kind of fabric it is.
The elves have this almost perverted obsession with beauty, no matter when and where, the clothing must highlight the beautiful figure of the elves, even in winter, they must wear short skirts that reflect the slender thighs, coupled with their naturally fair to almost snow-colored skin, it is not too much to say that the beings are upside down.
The long silver hair of the falling god was all pulled up and tied up on the top of his head, Bai Xuan vaguely remembered that this was called a pill head - the elf showed a curvy swan neck, and his eyes were still cold: "You have something to do with me?"
Bai Xuan was stunned for a moment, forcibly took his gaze back, and cast it on the long table, avoiding the embarrassing situation of nosebleeds, he pointed to the black cloth spread out: "Is there anything you need here?"
Falling God moved his gaze to the long table and walked over.
The black cloth is the mutilated part of the necromancer's black robe, and what is placed on it is all the things that Bai Xuan packed back from the necromancer, a white bone staff, several black crystal bottles, a few magic crystals the size of pine cones, a notebook, and a worn-out parchment scroll.
"Necromancer's Bone Staff, only they can use it. These two bottles are mana potions, which are used to quickly replenish mana. These two bottles are...... The taste of bitter almonds, highly poisonous potions. These two magic crystals are of high quality and very useful. "As for this, it's probably what I'm looking for." ”
She slowly picked up the parchment roll.
