112. Purchase a bed crossbow
Zach and Ernestine return to Durva from Dì Dū through a portal in the teleportation hall, where they need to convince the Duke of Samoyed to change the policy of the Immigration Administration of El El towards the indigenous people of Del Hierro.
In recent decades, the Imperial people who immigrated from the Grimm Empire to the Hiero plane have a deep-rooted belief about the Hiero aborigines, that is, they believe that the Hiero aborigines are inherently a group of slaves, and they have never treated the Hiero aborigines equally.
I want the Duke of Samoyed to change this mind, change the laws and regulations of the Hiero plane, and fundamentally change the status of the indigenous people of Hiro.
Only in this way can the Grimm Empire and the Ilro natives put aside their old suspicions and unite against the Nibru spiders.
I think that the Duke of Samoyed should at least show a clear attitude in this regard.
Otherwise, I'd rather the Constructed Knights of the Borean Legion return to Sloit than let them venture out in the perilous Black Forest.
......
As the bell rang melodiously for the end of class, it reverberated around every corner of the Royal Academy of Magic.
A large group of magicians emerged from the laboratory building, and Ying Li and a group of magicians appeared on the high steps in front of the marble pillar.
She came up the steps of the laboratory building with a thick magic book in her arms and saw me under the shade of the trees.
The female companion by Ying Li was none other than Tinuville, whom I had met by the pool in the school building before, and this elf girl who was not inferior to Lucia in appearance smiled sweetly at me.
I nodded politely to her.
There was a subtle joy on Ying Li's face, and she glanced apologetically at the elf beauty beside her.
The elven beauty immediately understood Ying Li's thoughts at the moment, and Tinuvier said goodbye to Ying Li softly, and left the other side of the stairs with light steps.
With one hand gently lifting the hem of his skirt, he ran briskly down the steps and stood in front of me, two small dimples appeared on his face as he smiled.
"Did you just come back from the Hierro plane, how's the situation over there?"
Ying Li walked side by side with me on the avenue of the academy and asked me softly.
I hesitated for a moment and said to Ying Li:
"The situation is not as rosy as I had expected, and it can even be said to be a bit bad. â
With a hint of surprise on her face, she stayed where she was for a few seconds before catching up with me with the magic book in her arms.
The afternoon sun filtered through the sparse young leaves, leaving dappled shadows on the stone pavement, and I continued:
"The Nibru Spider-Man forces have entered the Green Valley Jungle on a large scale, they have defeated all the indigenous tribes in the southern part of the Green Valley Jungle and occupied it, and the Spider-Man Warrior army is currently advancing towards the heart of the forest, and their goal should be to destroy the War Tree in the heartland. â
"Oh my God!"
Ying Li's mouth opened in an 'O' shape, and her words were full of concern, and she hurriedly asked me:
"Elder Singall, how are their tribes, have your orc warriors and barbarian slaves been safely evacuated from the Green Valley Forest?"
I spread my hands, shrugged my shoulders a little helplessly, and said:
"Not only did he not withdraw, but what was even more serious was that Karantso actually led the orc warriors and barbarian slave regiments to go deep into the spider-man occupation area in the southern part of the Green Valley Jungle. â
I stretched out my hand, touched my chin and said:
"They intend to cause some trouble in the area controlled by the Nibru spiders, and in turn reduce the pressure on the native warriors to face the spider-men head-on. â
Ying Li blinked and praised:
"Karantso is really a brave orc warrior, so when you return to Dì Dū, are you going to continue your classes at the Royal Academy of Magic, or do you want to buy some munitions?"
I glanced at Ying Li and said to her apologetically:
"I'm coming back this time to ask for a month's leave from the hospital, and the director of the teaching office, Freeman, has stamped his approval, and I have to return to Hierro before this evening, sorry, I can't discuss such an important matter with you. â
"It's dangerous over there, you have to be careful. â
Ying Li spoke in a small voice, a hint of worry appeared in her eyes, she lowered her head, and I couldn't see the expression on her face.
I grabbed her hand, came face to face with her and said:
"I know, I'll try to protect myself, you know I have this, it's a big deal I'll run back from the Hiero plane. â
I took out the Temporal Breaker's Hammer from my magical belt bag and swung it twice in front of Ying Li, two arcs of electricity wrapped around the hammer crackled, and a faint smell of burnt paste came from the air.
Seeing the Hammer of the Space-Time Breaker, Ying Li's eyes lit up, and she knew how magical this ordinary-looking magic hammer was.
At this time, a few magicians on the opposite side looked at us, it seemed that someone knew Ying Li, and waved at her, and a female magician wanted to come up to say hello, but was gently pulled by her companion, and then those magicians stood in the opposite corridor and whispered a few words, but did not come over.
Ying Li pursed his lips slightly and said to me:
"Now that you've decided, let's do it, I'll always support you, can I do something for you?"
I put the hammer back in my magic belt bag and took Ying Li's hand and walked towards the west gate of the academy, where I could meet Helena and Becky, both of whom also had some compulsory classes to take at the Swordsman Academy, and were not always by Ying Li's side every day.
I said to Ying Li with full confidence:
"I can handle this matter myself, maybe the situation in the Hiero plane will soon change for the better, Duke Jingyue sent the constructed knights of the North Wind Legion to support the Hiero plane, I believe the Duke of Samoyed will agree." â
When Ying Li heard that the Knights of the North Wind Legion were preparing to conquer the Hierro plane, he seemed to remember something at once, so he said to me:
"The Knights of the North Wind are preparing to enter the Hierro plane? â
I have a headache when I think about Le Die, from the beginning of all kinds of unfriendliness to me, and then every time I meet her, it will be accompanied by a big trouble.
I said with some reluctance:
"Le Die...... I think it's better to forget it, I don't want to take care of her on the Hiero plane. â
Ying Li ignored my prevarication and continued to persuade me:
"She's been learning what it takes to be a good commander lately, and you should give her a chance. â
I was about to find some reason to go over, but Ying Li stretched out his hand to cover my mouth and said to me:
"Go meet James, I think he'll give you some good advice. â
Win Li wanted me to meet Prince James before I went to the Hierro plane, and I couldn't refuse, so I had to nod my head and agree, but I immediately made a request:
"You'll come with me to Lakeside Manor, right! Truth be told, I always feel like a thief when I'm alone with James. â
Ying Li blinked his delicate eyes, and my figure was reflected in his pupils, and said to me suspiciously:
"Thief?"
I stood in front of Ying Li, held her delicate little face with both hands, and just in front of the west gate, kissed her on the forehead while she was not paying attention, and said to her:
"Well, I stole his most beloved daughter, and every time I see him, I feel a little empty. â
Ying Li's face turned red all of a sudden, her eyes were paying attention to the people around her, and she found that no one was paying attention to this side, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and her voice became smaller and smaller.
"Jijia, your thoughts are so strange. â
Ying Li saw Helena and Becky sitting on a bench on the side of the street, and hurriedly waved to them.
I said to her, "I'm serious. â
Her face flushed even more, and she whispered to me, "Got it!"
When Ying Li and I arrived at Lakeside Manor in the magic caravan, it was already dusk.
Prince James and Lady Manda summoned me in the back garden of the manor, from which I could see the view of the hill behind the manor, with many unnamed bushes blooming with colourful flowers, and I recognized only a few blueberries and cranberries growing nearby.
The years have not left a trace on Lady Manda's face, and when she and Le Die sit together, the two look like sisters.
Prince James leaned back in a chair and asked me how I was doing.
I told him that he might have to leave Dì Dū for a while in the near future, preparing to resist the Nibru spiders on the Hiero plane.
He asked me with concern:
"Is there a problem on the other side of your new territory that is difficult to solve?"
I told Prince James about the current situation in the Hiero Plane, and also said that I had united with some of the natives of the Hiero Plane, including gaining the trust of the ancient dryads in the Black Forest of the Hiero Plane, and forming an alliance with the dryads to fight against the Nibru Spider warriors on the side of the Green Valley Jungle.
When Prince James heard me talk about the ancient tree spirits, he was immediately interested.
His gaze fell on the pendant of two green leaves worn in front of my breast, and he said to me:
"You have actually won the approval of the Dryads on the Hiero plane, this is a very rare opportunity, with the help of the Dryads, your army will have an advantage in the battle in the jungle, and you still seem very wise to choose the territory in Hierro. â
I hurriedly bowed my debt and said respectfully to Prince James: "You have won the prize, I just desperately needed a status worthy of winning Li. â
At this time, Le Die walked along the corridor next to the pool wearing a heroic tight leather armor, she wore a delicate Seruki long sword at her waist, and her high leather boots set off her straight long legs, she walked directly in front of me, stopped, and said to me: "Jijia, I want to go to the Hiero plane!"
I could even smell the faint smell of perfume on her body, it seemed that she had just finished her swordsmanship training, and as a dragon knight, her figure was a little thinner, after all, the dragon knight needed to be able to hold the dragon spear, and had the most basic requirements for strength.
I hurriedly took out a set of rhetoric that I had thought of a long time ago, and said to Le Die:
"The situation over there is very unstable right now, and it is not suitable for hunting. If you still want to hunt the Spider-Man Overseers, I suggest you wait a little longer, and when the situation over there stabilizes, I can use the summer vacation to gather another group of men to find those Spider-Man Overseers in the Hierro plane. â
Le Die looked at Ying Li for help, and Ying Li confessed to me as soon as her heart softened, and she whispered to this sister who was three years older than herself:
"I told him ......"
In the end, it was Prince James who helped me out of the siege and made Le Die temporarily give up the idea of going to the Hiero plane to train.
Although Le Die was very reluctant, she had to listen to her father's words, she sat stubbornly on the side, and twisted her face away angrily.
Prince James has been very supportive of me and the Followers and Orc warriors fighting the Nibru Spiders on the Hierro plane, and is willing to provide me with some munitions that I can't buy in the Dì Dū Market, but only if they are available in the DìDū Munitions Warehouse of the South Wind Legion.
'Bed Crossbow'
I asked Prince James to buy two hundred bed crossbows.
As soon as I said this, I noticed that Prince James and Lady Manda were both looking at me in amazement.
Then, James smiled dumbly and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to have such great courage. â
Then Prince James beckoned to the middle-aged butler and whispered to him, and I heard clearly that Prince James was trying to favor Earl Conrad, the butler.
Prince James pondered for a moment before he said to me, "Two hundred bed crossbows, it will take me about two days to make them together here at Dì DÅ«." â
"But even if you buy bed crossbows in large quantities, the price of bed crossbows can't be too low, after all, it's a magic ordnance produced by the Green Ordnance Workshop, and if you have two hundred bed crossbows, you can almost form a three-hundred-person Constructed Knights, and the Constructed Knights are far superior to bed crossbows in terms of mobility and combat effectiveness, do you want to think about it again?"
Of course, I needed a batch of bed crossbows to arm the barbarian slaves in the quarries, so I said to Prince James in a firm tone:
"I've got it figured out, James. â
Prince James nodded slightly.
The way he spoke was as subtle as that of Ying Li, or rather that Ying Li's words and actions were heavily influenced by his father, Prince James.
Prince James said to me, "Well, if you want to set off with these two hundred bed crossbows, you will need to postpone the two-day trip, and if you don't have the money, you can pay after the victory in the war on the Hiero plane." â
He glanced up at me, then added:
"After all, this war has just begun, and the military supplies you need to purchase are not only bed crossbows!"
......
We had dinner with Prince James and Lady Manda at Lakeside Manor before leaving, and we took Win Li back to the Royal Academy of Magic dormitory, and I hurried to Arya's house in the third block.
There has been a backlog of demonic spider silk ingots in the underground warehouse of Xinliu Valley, and the silk reeling workshop has recently expanded nearly three times compared to the previous size, and some giant spiders have begun to spin silk.
In the warehouse of Arya's Manor, female orcs kept moving out of the Willow Valley with demonic spider silk ingots, and Arya had a new purchase list in her hand, and couldn't help but complain to me, "Oh my God, why do you keep adding to your supply list every time?"
