Chapter 344 The Royal Court's Special Envoy
Colin miraculously comes back from the dead, and Martin and Luthor, despite their confusion, can only treat Colin like a giant panda. Mobile access m.
The Martins had wanted to keep Colin in the army. Colin insisted on going home. Martin and the others kept him a little and could only let him go.
Since the military intends to change from oppression to cooperation. The previous losses of the Lando family naturally need to be compensated. Those wealthy businessmen and aristocrats who followed the military and eroded the property of the Lando family were therefore unlucky. Not only did they spit out the proceeds of the misappropriation, but they were also extorted a large sum of money by the military to repair relations with Colin.
The military is also a good means of playing. They were the ones who took the lead in oppressing and plundering the Lando family. It is they who uphold justice for the Lando family and recover their losses. Those greedy rich merchants and aristocrats were played to tears without tears.
Perhaps because of the compensation for the large amount of treasure, Colin magnanimously expressed his understanding to the military. He reopened the exchange and promised not to leave the South River Fortress.
Maybe it's a gesture of kindness, or maybe it's because he's worried about Colin escaping, but it's inconvenient to keep an eye on him up close. The military has made a proposal: a small team of soldiers is stationed outside the exchange every day to ensure the safety of transactions.
Du Shen didn't care about the reason, and happily agreed.
The days seemed to have suddenly flattened. The military is busy arranging manpower, hiring civilians, and increasing the production of magic stones. Du Shen spends most of his daily energy tempering Yuan Ying, and the rest is studying the Creation Rubik's Cube in order to expand the ability of Nai He Zhu.
Before you know it, it's been almost a month. Du Shen's Yuan Ying finally fully adapted to the laws of the Rema world and was able to act freely. At the same time, Shanshan, the envoy of the royal court, arrived at the fortress.
The mission behaved in a low-key manner, not even raising a flag. Most of the members of the mission did not live in the fortress or military camp, but lived in seclusion in a wealthy merchant's estate far away from the fortress.
The two leaders of the mission contacted Martin and other border guards early. On the one hand, they learned about Du Shen through Martin and others, and on the other hand, they personally investigated the current situation of the fortress and the military.
It was about ten days later that the royal court delegation officially raised its banner and requested a meeting with Du Shen. Du Shen readily agreed. The next day, the two sides met at one of the Lando family's estates.
The envoys of the royal court are divided into two people. The official envoy is named Yegor, a long-standing magician in the kingdom and one of the leaders of the Astrological Tower, an otherworldly organization. The deputy envoy is called Oleg, the little prince of the kingdom, and is considered the strongest contender for the throne.
Yegor had an old face and outstanding appearance, and he must have been a handsome man when he was young. Oleg was very young, well-built and polite.
The first meeting didn't mean much. The two envoys seemed to have come to chat with Du Shen. The two of them are talking about each other, but it is rare to mention the products of alchemy.
In his previous life, Du Shen did not know much about the details of the kingdom. Although he controlled Colin's body, he could only passively receive a small number of memory fragments. Besides, Colin wasn't a man of many eruditions. Du Shen chatted with the two envoys, gradually exposing his ignorance. He spent less and less time talking and longer and longer listening.
For his shallowness and lack of learning, Du Shen doesn't care. He patiently talked nonsense with the two envoys, always smiling.
From the state of the kingdom to the knowledge of magical powers, from ancient history to industrial management, from family glory to aristocratic anecdotes.
When Du Shen wanted to get to the point, the two envoys actually got up and said goodbye.
Du Shen estimated that the other party needs to digest today's contact and discuss strategies. Even if Du Shen left the two behind, he couldn't reach an effective agreement. Du Shen let the two leave, but also reminded the two when they said goodbye that he didn't have much time to talk nonsense with others.
The next day, Oleg and the others came to the door again. The two of them got straight to the point this time and directly asked to meet with the members of the Alchemy Society.
Du Shen once again talked about the rhetoric of the artifact creation.
Oleg and the two did not mention whether they believed it or not. The two were silent for a moment. Oleg looked up and asked, "So, your Excellency's purpose is to get more magic energy stones, and what benefits does this to your honor?"
Du Shen grinned: "Artifacts need magic energy stones to create things, of course, the more the merrier." ”
Oleg frowned. He didn't believe in the existence of the artifact, he only thought that Du Shen refused to reveal any real information.
Oleg suppressed his dissatisfaction and smiled, "We are interested in helping Your Excellency get more magic energy stones. Although the Nanhe Fortress is located on the border, the scope of the external situation is narrow, and the war is not fierce. I believe that with the help of the border guards of the entire kingdom, Your Excellency will reap thousands of gains every day. ”
Du Shen hesitated for a moment: "It's not impossible." But I need a year to prepare. Within a year, I had a reason to stay here. ”
Oleg didn't ask, but instead discussed with Du Shen how to expand the production of magic energy stones.
Later in the day, it seemed that the two envoys intended to be stationed in the fortress. Oleg will definitely come to visit every once in a while. On the contrary, he spends most of his time rambling and chatting about idle things. Du Shen has seen it twice, so he basically thanked him for his visit.
The royal mission seemed to be unhurriedly investigating the impact of alchemical products on the fortress. In fact, the rest of the kingdom seems to be exploding. Not only the royal court and the military, but also not only the transcendent organization similar to the Tower of Astrology, including the slightly more powerful nobles and wealthy merchants. Almost all the forces are investigating the details of the Alchemy Society in various places.
Not only alchemists, but also many maverick magicians were affected. More and more people are being directly arrested, or coerced, induced, or even tortured, hoping to find out the news of the Alchemy Society.
In the jurisdiction of Nanhe Fortress, more than two months have passed very calmly. Because the border guards hired civilians to hunt demons at high salaries, the fortress became more and more lively. Mercenaries can be seen fighting and making trouble in the streets every day.
At noon that day, Oleg visited Du Shen again, saying that he had a big business to discuss.
Du Shen followed Oleg to a certain storeroom in the fortress barracks. He saw wooden boxes piled up in a hill. Most of the boxes were rough in workmanship, and Du Shen casually opened a few to check, only to see that they were stuffed with large and small magic energy stones.
The wooden boxes in front of me numbered thousands. There are at least 100 magic energy stones in a single chest. The total number of magic stones is hard to count.
Oleg explained: "More than two months ago, we procured a large amount of corpse water and sent it to various border lines on fast horses. The magic energy stones here are the harvest of the border guards everywhere in the past two months. The number is around 280,000. In fact, if it weren't for the limitations of the corpse water, we would have gained much more. Your Excellency doesn't want as many Magic Stones as possible, when will Your Excellency finish digesting the Magic Energy Stones in front of you, and when will we make the next transaction. ”
Oleg smiled and handed over the blank paper: "This is our list of transactions." When will you deliver the alchemy products, and when will we start the next round of hunting. Now, where are you going to transport the Magnos?"
Du Shen took the list, knowing that the other party was tempting. He smiled calmly, "Just send the magic energy stone directly to my manor." I'll deliver the items you need as soon as possible. In the meantime, you may wish to keep hunting. Don't worry, no matter how many magic energy stones there are, I can transform them. ”
