Chapter 264: Arrival
What Saul didn't expect was that before Gliston brought Paladin with him, he sensed that Eddie and Isgerin had arrived first. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Their fleet had arrived at the Golden Harbour of Ujung Pandang by this time, and it was presumably that Diana would soon send someone to inform him.
Thor felt a little regretful in his heart, although the energy crystal ore was very important, but it was obvious that for him at the moment, it was the plan with Susie Conrad that he should really invest his energy in.
"Maxwell—" Thor straightened up and shouted to the old professor on the other side who was looking for the power hedron with the others.
"What do you command, Your Majesty?" Maxwell immediately ran over and looked at Thor tightly, the scholars are all ordinary people, and their physical fitness cannot be compared with the barbarians, and they are already sweating for a while.
"Okay, if you can't find it, don't look for it yet, let's wait for Paladin and them to come. Thor couldn't bear to let his elite be so exhausted, so he ordered them to stop.
For such a thing as mining, you still have to invite a dwarve, as an expert in this area, a dwarf's mining efficiency is probably higher than that of everyone here combined.
From Thor's point of view, Add and Isgerin had been received by the Golden Harbor administrators, who had sent someone to inform Diana and take them to the shrine to rest first.
Thor thought about it, afraid that he would not be able to wait for Paladin to arrive, so he instructed Maxwell in advance: "When Paladin arrives in a while, you, Paladin, and Brunhill will be responsible for working out a plan for excavation." ”
Maxwell didn't ask much, but nodded obediently, Thor's decision was of course unquestionable for him, seeing this, Thor continued:
"Don't delay the work, start digging from today, don't delay for a moment, the sooner we find these energy crystals, the more it will help us." ”
"Yes—Your Majesty. Maxwell nodded silently, and Thor stood up, thinking that Maxwell and Paladin were here to preside, and he didn't need to stay any longer, so he prepared to leave.
At this moment, several people suddenly slipped down from outside the pit, and Thor looked closely, it was several Thor warriors, wearing uniform armor and steel knives pinned to their waists, and they slid to the bottom of the pit with agility.
"Your Majesty—" There were three people in total, and they took a few steps to a distance of two meters from Thor, and the first one knelt down on one knee and reported to Thor:
"Your Majesty, Priest Diana has asked me to inform you that Mr. Eddie and the messenger from Worms have arrived in Ujung Pandang, and the priest asks you to return quickly to meet them. ”
Diana's movements were so fast, I am afraid that she informed herself as soon as she got the news, Saul sighed in his heart, so he stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help the three warriors up, and said:
"Okay, I see, thank you guys. He looked back at Maxwell and the other scholars who were watching them, and shouted:
"I'll leave it to you, Maxwell and Brunhill. ”
After saying that, he turned his head and climbed towards the top of the pit, the work had been arranged, there was little point for him to continue to stay here, and if it was handed over to Maxwell and the others, Thor could be completely assured that he would hardly make any mistakes in his work.
Outside the pit, four-skinned dire wolves waited, saddled saddles on their backs, newly bred by the Soths.
With the establishment of the Kingdom of Soth, the tribe of the Dire Wolf has become the most powerful beast clan in the entire Desert Horn, and the Wolf King, with the help of the Soth people, has conquered many other small tribes of the Dire Wolf, almost unifying the Dire Wolf on the whole island.
Nowadays, it is almost all over the island, and the biologists of the Truth Society are also very curious about the monster of the dire wolf, but because Thor forbids them to conduct live experiments, they can only start with domestication and classification.
And this kind of wolf with a relatively docile personality compared to other wolf warriors is one of the results.
They are the more cowardly and less mating rights of their own population, and scholars have singled them out for breeding and training to remove wildness, and trained these dire wolves into breeds that are specifically designed for riding.
In the dense jungle of the island, riding a wolf is far more agile than riding a horse.
Thor and the three warriors stepped on the wolf, gently touched a few pinches of fine fur on the wolf's neck, and the wolf "whined", and then spread his legs and ran towards Ujung Pandang.
The speed of the dire wolf was not inferior to that of ordinary horses, and in terms of endurance was much stronger than that of horses, and Thor only felt that the scenery on both sides was rapidly retreating, and then after a while they were at the foot of the city of Ujung Pandang.
The four of them did not stop at all, and the soldiers defending the city also knelt on one knee when they saw that it was His Majesty the King, and watched Thor leave, so it didn't take ten minutes for the group to come to the main hall of the Divine Palace.
"Your Majesty—" As soon as Thor got down from the wolf, a female officer came up to greet him, and Thor vaguely remembered that the helper she had promoted by Diana seemed to have been assisting Diana with some clerical work at the Agricultural Bureau, and his name seemed to be "Miara".
I saw her step forward and lift the corners of the linen skirts on both sides, curtsied, and then said respectfully to Saul:
"Your Majesty, Priest Diana, Mr. Eddie, and the messenger from Worms are waiting for you in the Great Hall. She made a "please" gesture as she spoke, and it looked like Diana had sent her to wait for her here.
Thor didn't say much, nodded, and followed Miara into the shrine, into the place where he usually discussed with his subordinates.
In the main hall is a long mahogany table with a gem-trimmed edge, wrapped in metal strips around the edges, which is said to have been designed by Ingvar.
The long and wide table looks luxurious and cold, and the two different styles are strangely combined, and Thor belongs to people who have no requirements for beauty and ugliness, but he thinks it is convenient to put a table here, so he does not object, so he has been using it like this.
At the very end, near the side of the huge statue in the temple, Diana sat first on the left, Eddie sat behind Diana, and opposite the two sat the familiar old face, Isgerin.
To Saul's surprise, there was a little girl sitting behind Eddie, confirming that Bertha had not been seen for a long time!
Eddie and Thor have a heart-to-heart connection, of course, he was the first to discover him, and the two could have been regarded as one person, so naturally they didn't need to say hello or anything.
Bertha was the second to see Thor come in, and she jumped up from her stool and jumped into Thor with great eagerness.
"Brother Thor—!" the familiar shout seemed to bring Thor back to the humble village at the corner of the cliff, where Bertha and Tula surrounded him in front of his humble mud house, asking him and Morey inconsequential questions.
A smile welled up in the corner of his eyes, a warm smile appeared on Thor's face, and he also took the girl into his arms and said softly:
"Long time no see, Bertha. ”
