Chapter 710: Heart
After another two days, the palace and the palace of the Duke of Oginets remained quiet.
The whole ridge city does not seem to feel the oppression of the wind and rain, and from the hotel room on the mountain wall looking down, the mountain road is like a snake looming between the buildings that spirals up the mountain, and the vehicles and pedestrians on it come and go.
"This shows that the city of the ridge is at least still under the control of Oginets, with Oginets's position and usual practice, no matter how hard they fight in secret, they will not allow the struggle to come to the surface and give Pere an excuse to intervene, which is the biggest reason why Gustav refused my help."
Lin An stood in front of the window and looked into the distance, "If the Ridge City suddenly becomes chaotic, no matter which side is in chaos, it means that the Oginets family's control of the Ridge City is definitely in trouble. ”
"Does this mean that things are going well?" John asked at the table behind Lin An.
"If it really goes well, with the strength of the Oginets family, two days is enough for Gustav to complete the suppression of the situation, with Gustav's character, once the matter is settled, he will definitely come to the hotel to meet us as soon as possible, even if he does not come in person, he will send someone to report the news."
Salin said with a squint.
The past few days of inquiring about the news have been enough for him to know the tradition of the Oginets family to attach great importance to the courtesy of their benefactors and friends.
"But Gustav's early return should not be useless."
Lin An turned around and said, "According to the news that Salin heard, the closure of the royal palace and the Oginets Mansion was five days ago, that is, before and after the three of Gustav were rescued by an ant tide, with the time difference between the two places, it was about the time when he had just received the news of Gustav's distress, but his whereabouts had not yet been determined, so according to estimates, the planners were likely to take advantage of this opportunity to attack, and the other party was the target." There is no doubt that there is only one ......"
"- The strongest point and weakest point of the entire Oginets family, Grand Duke Oginets." Saleen said with a smile.
"I see, that is to say, the current situation is most likely to lead to the current situation is unknown. It's on Grand Duke Oginets? John nodded, "In that case." Do we need to take the initiative to intervene, after all, His Highness Oginets does not know the capabilities of our side, and I am afraid they will not take the initiative to ask us for help. ”
He still has a good impression of the three Gustavs, and Gustav's dealings with them are quite hearty and sincere from beginning to end, although it is because of the grace of saving lives, no one hates people who are full of gratitude and closeness to him.
"No, the Highlanders have a set of rules for the Highlanders. Judging from their closed traditions, they don't like outsiders to get involved in their internal affairs, and we have known Gustav and them too little to make rash moves. Even if you help them, you may make them suspicious. ”
Lin An's involvement in the Oginets family this time is very clear, that is, to make friends with this arm, and without violating this premise, she does not mind limited shots. On the contrary, she is too lazy to be thankless.
What's more, if something really happens to Grand Duke Oginets and Gustav ascends to the throne, it will only be more beneficial to them who intersect with those who are directly in power. The situation has not deteriorated at present, so Lin An does not mind continuing to sit back and watch the situation develop.
Salin also knew Lin An's plan very well, with a smile on his face, his golden eyes stared at Lin An under the glow of the mountain city - so cold, so rational, but he paid infinite tolerance and gentleness to the people he recognized, it was really jealous of Archduke Stuart who was so deliberately planned by Lin An!
……
At night, above the mountain city surrounded by mountains and peaks, the dome full of stars hung low, and the cool breeze was blowing, and Lin An knocked on the door of Salin's suite.
Salen behind the door seemed to have just bathed, his short dark blonde hair was still dripping, and there was a faint mint fragrance on his body.
Lin An walked in from the space he had sideways, and there were some drawings and a few books spread out on the square low table with white lines on a black background in the living room of the suite.
Lin An glanced over and could roughly see that those drawings were topographical maps of the Ridge City and other things, most of them were old drawings, and one of them was only half drawn.
This is not the first time Lin An has seen Salin reading and doing things directly on the table in the living room, it seems that because of his background, he does not have the habit of going to the study when doing this kind of thing.
"When I was in the Magic Capital, I even had to steal time between balls or between washing my hands, and if I had to use a full set of tools in a quiet study like those noble mages to calculate and plan, then I guess I'm still a puppet of the Mage Tower."
Salin poured Lin An a cup of mint tea, "Do you want sugar?" ”
Lin An shook his head and took the cup of tea.
She came from the fast-paced information age, the urbanites of that era, even walking at a trot, of course she would not have any discrimination against Salin's habit, but the ruling class of this era had too much free time, so they were used to enjoying life at a slow pace, Lin An was not a native, and she was used to cherishing time, and she had a lot in common with Salin in these places, which made Saleen think so much.
"This is the architectural layout of Ridge City?" Lin An looked at the top few drawings, and it was not difficult to find that they were put together as an overlook of the Ridge City.
"The city is surrounded by mountains, and the roads and buildings are quite complex, which is very interesting."
The planning of the Ridge City is indeed very complicated, and Lin An couldn't fully write it down after looking at it for a while, but Salin actually drew most of the roads and buildings in the entire city by opening up the guò to find out the news and overlooking the restaurant and hotel on the mountain wall.
"Looks like you're ready, don't go overboard."
Lin An originally wanted to explain what happened after leaving, but obviously he didn't need it anymore, Salin was quite attentive this time, which didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing for the Oginets family, no wonder he was allowed to stay so quickly before.
"You're looking too highly of me." Salin shrugged and chuckled.
……
In the early morning of the fourth day of arriving in the Ridge City, it was not surprising that the whole mountain city still seemed to be shrouded in a calm atmosphere.
After eating breakfast, Lin An left with Athena Titi and Sidney, John stayed differently from the original plan, and Salin knew Lin An's intentions and smiled disapprerovingly.
Lin An and his entourage are still riding on Feiyun, the last time Athena came to fly at the highest speed, damaging the core of the Feiyun, but this Feiyun is the car of the high priests of Sky City, Athena left the temple with more than one cloud bead, the original cloud bead waited for Lin An to return to the temple and put it into the energy field, and it could be repaired soon.
Due to the previous contact, the message from Ranster said that it had been calm, Lin An did not hurry, and it took a day and a half to come to the town on the edge of the desert.
The town is very ordinary, with houses built entirely of loess and thatch, and some even just fences and coarse cloth.
The adobe road was sparsely populated, it looked like a larger village, quiet, and the adult men of the town were almost gone, either to become mercenaries or to go into the desert to become bandits.
Such towns, many of which are inconspicuous on the edge of the desert, but there is a Merlin intelligence station, and the last stop of the envoys before leaving the desert is here.
There is only one big road in this town, and you can almost see the end of the town from the head of the town, the envoys have not yet arrived, Lin An did not enter the town, and he investigated the periphery, and found no ambush, so he directly found a deserted grass house outside the town.
"It's delayed by the wind and sand, and there are still five or six magic left."
With a flash of red light, the note was destroyed, and Sidney next to him heard Lin An's words, and his unfocused silver eyes flashed, "The heart you made before is almost the same time." ”
Sidney was talking about the heart of the two-headed monster that Titi had killed in Sky City, which resembled a Chimera.
That demonic beast has two heads, which are dark fire attributes, but they share a heart, as one of the most important energy nodes of the demonic beast's energy cycle and a pacemaker for blood flow, you can imagine how strong that heart is, even if it has been absorbed by Titi Life Essence, it still has not fallen from the fifth order.
This is something that neither the Symbiotic Demon Snake nor the Crystal Toad can match.
According to Salin, after being absorbed by Titi with the essence of life, the materials collected by the Symbiotic Demon Snake were reduced from the fifth order to the fourth order;
The crystal toad itself has just stepped into the fourth order, and it has suddenly become a third-level material, and the gap between the fourth-order and the third-order is like a ** master and a formal mage, and its value has dropped significantly.
There are not many fourth-order Warcraft materials in Lin An's hands, and most of the materials scavenged from the Medici family and others are auxiliary materials, and he knows that the most precious ones cannot still be left in the treasure room, and there are some fourth- and fifth-level materials in the space where Salin's unlucky former teacher and the abyss eye were killed outside the gods, and their collections are medium in terms of the net worth of master-level powerhouses, but there are no truly precious and rare ones.
It's not that these two ** masters are poor, but the precious materials obtained by master-level powerhouses under normal circumstances, as long as there are conditions, they have been made into magic equipment that can be used directly as soon as possible.
And with the loss of magic power of these equipment after their death, most of them are either abolished or demoted, with Lin An's current strength, it is better to use these things to take advantage of their own tailor-made, because these equipment have been recognized by the master, and there is no original owner to release the recognition of the master, and the second person can only use it to play four or five percent of the effect after the downgrade.
And Berbot. Behind George and the Eye of the Abyss are the Mage Tower and the Pere royal family, so Lin An didn't dare to give these equipment to John's to them to use, and gave Andre, Sidney and Salin some to them, so that they could use them to disassemble the materials, and by the way, learn the refining techniques of the ** master above, which can also be regarded as the best use.
So to sum up, Lin An's net worth has skyrocketed during this period of time, but the good things that can really be used to increase his strength are not much on hand, and these are not available for money:
In addition to the dozen or so fourth- and fifth-level materials left by Salin's unlucky teacher and the eye of the abyss, they mainly came from a few high-level demonic beasts killed after the Sky City, among which the two-headed demonic beast heart and the two precious materials from the deep sea given by Gustav were the most precious.
