Chapter 325: The Tumbling Leeks
Old John finally withdrew the only remaining application form with some hesitation.
Because Anna secretly told him that their territory called Minas Tirith was indeed in the pioneering stage, but when their siblings and the Silvermoon immigrants first arrived, it hadn't even begun to be pioneered yet.
This message was undoubtedly very shocking to Old John.
Because his ancestors were knights who had fled from Comanso.
In order to preserve the last dignity of the nobles, he finally chose to be a pioneer knight, leading a dozen clansmen and dozens of refugees who were willing to follow him to open up wastelands outside Silvermoon City and establish their own villages.
But such a pioneer knight, who often operates on his own one-third of an acre for a lifetime, may still be just a village of a few hundred people, which is the so-called knight territory.
In his mind, such a pioneering territory with nearly 20,000 people, and such a majestic city wall built in the north, must have been developed for several years or even more than ten years.
The premise is that the elf named Levi was originally a big lord with enough resources.
If it is really as little Anna said, such a thriving territory is only the result of four months of development...
It's nothing short of a miracle!
Make a very simple comparison.
Today's Silvermoon City, the pearl of the Northland, was only developed from a few small farms around the Silvermoon Tavern in the 384th year of the Valley Calendar.
And if it hadn't been for the visit and settlement of True Silver Mage with his nine apprentices in 627, it might have been a Silvermoon Village forever, not a Silvermoon City.
With the help of True Silver and his mage apprentices, Silver Moon became a city in 637 in the Vale calendar.
At this time, its first wall was completed, and it took almost ten years before and after.
This is almost a sign of the birth of the city-state.
Without sufficient financial and human resources, without a decision-making level capable of uniting everyone and distributing resources, it is impossible to work together to build walls strong enough to shelter the people.
And this Minas Tirith only took four months, and it had already reached a scale that Silvermoon City did not dare to hope for.
So what if you give it a little more time? like four years, or even... Forty years...
And how big will it go?
But forty years... By then, he'll probably be an old man.
After all, he is only in his early thirties now, but his long-term busy life makes him seem much older than his peers, and he has an honest personality, so his neighbors call him Old John.
After all, he chose to trust Anna's judgment.
Or rather, he trusted the judgment of the magic teacher behind Anna.
Presumably, that mage named Fischer must have been as great a sage as the True Silver Archmage back then, right?
Only such a sage can create such a miracle and bloom such a miracle on the earth.
Anna's proposal was like a magnificent dream full of hope for him, giving him a ray of light.
As long as he leaves this 'intention application form' for future generations, perhaps decades later, it will be a valuable asset that will give his children and grandchildren the courage to pursue happiness.
And you don't have to be like him, a mediocre life, to find a woman who is almost inseparable from his own family to marry, and even... None of them have the right to take in the children of deceased friends.
After all, people need to have some beautiful visions and dreams to support their progress.
In his life, he has been a real failure...
If you can sacrifice some immediate interests in exchange for a ray of hope.
Seem... It's a good deal.
It's just that once this decision is really made, looking at the peers around me who have entered a state of frenzy of shopping, I feel a little unspeakably distressed!
Big businessmen like Jimmy not only redeemed the intention application form in their hands in one go, but even posted a lot of cash into it.
The end result was that the inventory of the temporary shopping street in the camp was basically swept away by these crazy merchants.
Even the magical items in Anna's possession that Fischer called.
It's just that after the purchase is completed, looking at the mountains of goods behind them, the merchants are worried again.
How are they going to get it on board?
At this moment, Scard, one of the properties of Minas Tirith, enthusiastically came up again, claiming that he could provide delivery services for a fee.
Then the bewildered Silver Moon merchants saw the vendors who had just dumped their goods to them, and almost every one of them launched an alchemy tricycle, looking at this group of 'fat sheep' old men from the north with antiquation.
What else can the merchants do together, there is not even a carriage here, and it is unrealistic to rely solely on the men under his command to carry it!
The result is a spectacular army of bicycles walking between the camp and the marina.
Just when Old John looked at a pile of supplies and hesitated to borrow some money from his peers to hire a tricycle, he saw Kevin also pushing a bicycle out and said to him with a smile:
"Uncle John, why don't you go with us?"
"You're going to Draw Water City too, what about little Anna?" Old John hesitated when he heard this.
Having a free driver willing to help him deliver goods naturally made him excited, but he was still a little worried about Anna.
"You look like she looks like we need to worry about it, not to mention that Anna's mentor also recommended a teacher to me, so I was going to Jishui City in the first spring. ”
Kevin, who is a little ghost, raised the letter of introduction in his hand.
"I don't need you to worry! I'm obviously still young, if it weren't for the big bald head of Fischer who made this opinion, I would have knocked him out of the bag a long time ago!"
Anna disagreed.
"You're going to become a mage too???" Old John was really shocked this time.
He wondered how much smarter old Jones had never seen than himself!
Even he couldn't help but have some paradoxical thoughts, weren't these two children old Jones's?
Kevin waved his hand with a wry smile, "How is it possible, how can I be as smart as Anna, but her mentor said that I have half of the elven bloodline, so she recommended me to go to an elf teacher to see if I can develop the power of the bloodline and become an elven warlock? Uh, the life of a warrior. ”
In the middle of his sentence, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Old John's unnatural complexion, and quickly changed his words.
Yes...
Kevin also suddenly discovered that the original choice he and his sister made not only changed their fate, but also broadened their horizons.
The magnificent scene of Zeellandia's 100-man battle group opening the mountains and the land made him see the power of spells for the first time.
And the battle on the banks of the Sebrin River made them realize that they could win without relying on cavalry.
So if he could, he also wanted to be a professional, a professional who could spell.
If he had just wanted to protect his sister Anna, after seeing Anna, who had already learned several tricks and even made magical items in just a few months, his thoughts became...
He didn't want to be left behind by his sister, no, not like he was too far away from his friends who had come here together.
He had heard that Ralph's adoptive father was a well-known druid Senarian in the entire realm, and that he had been sent to a boot camp in order to nurture his strong will and physique from an early age.
And Cecilia has become the adopted daughter of an orc sword master... With her physique that is very different from ordinary people, she will definitely be a famous swordsman in the north in the future, and what is even more devastating is that there are two classes of brothers and sisters behind her...
In addition, among these Silver Moon immigrants, there seems to be a teenager named Anthony who is also extremely talented, and is said to have the hope of becoming the most potential arcanist of the younger generation.
Finally, there is an elf named Lo Carrie.
He had heard the name from Anna.
Her mentor Fischer had told her that this was her 'rival' in the future.
Because the mentor of the elf was named Calvin.
A terrifying psionic sorcerer!
Perhaps, when he goes to Jishui City this time, he will meet him.
Is... I'm looking forward to it.
Friends of the same age are destined to have extraordinary opportunities in the future.
He, Kevin, is also unwilling to be ordinary.
Just as they began to load the tricycle like everyone else, the sky suddenly darkened, and they could even feel many small droplets of water falling from the air and falling on their heads.
"Oh, Lady Woking, what the hell is this? am I dazzled?" said old John, looking up at the sky with a blank face.
Because at this moment, above the camp, a huge floating city, as if it was gradually moving from the unreal into reality.
"Rouyi...", but Anna on the side opened her mouth slightly.
"Soft Wings, the legendary floating city under the crown of Veramarandis, the Dragon Queen of the Silver Moon?" Kevin and Old John looked at her together.
"That's it... The big bald head said that since the time of Netheril, the soft wing of the dragon queen is probably the only existence that can be called a floating city, but it has nothing to do with Netheriel, it is said that it is relying on an artifact called [Alpine Crown]. ”
Anna muttered as she looked at the legendary floating mountain range with wistful eyes.
Fischer would always intersperse her teaching with many stories to tell, including some legends about the Northland.
And this floating mountain range that belongs to the Silver Moon Dragon Queen is naturally one of the unmissable legends in the Northland.
Verama Landis is said to have inherited it from her predecessor, the Dragon Queen.
This huge, hollow oval boulder hovers in the sky with the constant [High Levitation] of the [Mountain Crown] and the magic provided by the Dragon Queen, and will go anywhere she wants.
Usually she would stop it on the southern border of the Supreme Forest, and when she didn't need to lift it into the air, she would stop it on the deep sandy bed south of Evangelootheran City.
Due to its perennial shrouded in a layer of mist, it is often regarded as a miracle by the people of the Silvermoon Federation who are fortunate enough to witness it.
In the ancient Northland legends, there is even a story of being kidnapped to the lair of the dragon who will fly.
But in fact, the Mother of Dragons rarely invites other beings to her floating mountain range unless she has to.
Inside, she and Silverwing have accumulated thousands of years of treasure, including the power they received from their battles, though they generally only keep items with magic.
Anna never imagined that she would be lucky enough to witness it in real form.
The only floating city in the main material world.
Soon, amid an even louder exclamation, a massive silver dragon flapped its wings and flew up the floating mountain range above the camp, eventually vanishing.
"Wait, is that the Guardian Dragon Diszedrroton Silver Wing?" a merchant exclaimed in surprise.
"In other words, this camp is actually a new city-state secretly developed by the Silvermoon Federation?"
The lord who had already taken advantage of it was full of pride: "Yes, that is our lord. ”
It's just that they themselves are puzzled, and they don't know whether their lord is called Levi or the legendary guardian dragon Silver Wing.
It's not clear what to tell the difference.
Anyway, all you need to know is that their lord is a powerful silver dragon.
"This dwarf gentleman, discuss something, can you return the twenty application forms for the intention to buy a house to me, I will come out... I'll pay double the price to redeem!"
I saw a fat merchant named Jimmy pulling the famous gray dwarf and whispering a plea through the heartache.
And there are not a few businessmen who do this at the moment.
Suddenly they realize that they seem to have done something completely stupid!
It doesn't matter if that silver dragon is the guardian dragon or not!
A new city-state directly guarded by dragons, just when the news spreads, it is conceivable that it will not be long before more and more displaced people will migrate here.
It may even be even more rapid than the development of Silvermoon City back then.
The gray dwarf seemed extremely excited, but he reluctantly spread his hands and said:
"I'm really sorry, those application forms were bought back by the gnolls at the city hall after they were redeemed. ”
For a while, these merchants from Yinyue complained one after another.
But he could only reluctantly look at the floating mountains in the sky like a miracle, and sail south.
Even Levi, who flew to the Floating Mountain Range, breathed a sigh of relief, glad that the Silver Moon Dragon Mother had only arrived after he had collected those 'deadly' application forms.
Otherwise, this plan will be in vain.
Fei She even asked suspiciously, why go to such a big deal and wait directly in the port area for recycling?
Levi's answer was that the other party was 'collecting debts', and if everything was too easy, these cunning businessmen would be suspicious.
If he kept a few cards with the psychology of gambling, then he would have lost a lot of money when he turned back.
Only by letting these guys go deep into the territory in person and snuff out the only remaining luck will they honestly exchange and purchase.
Moreover, isn't it a happy ending for everyone to let the people pay for the freight again?
He Li Moulong, in order to satisfy these old leeks, it can be said that he has good intentions!
I just hope that... They have already consumed a wave, and after arriving in Jishui City, they can control their hands.
Calvin's side should be about to start smashing the game.
Thinking like this, on the floating mountain range, a beautiful palace came into view.
He's sour...
