Chapter 1048: The Enemy of Enemies Is Friends
"How long will it take to fill this place?" Mungo also saw the green spreading below, and rushed to a druid road next to him.
The other party immediately replied: "According to Lord Windsor's estimate, a week will be at most, and the number of elven souls is sufficient at present, and the subsequent oak wells and abundant ancient trees will follow, but considering the excavation of the sewers, the time may be later." ”
"You have to follow the drawings strictly, no more, no less, and bring the words to the devout people, after the city is built, it will not be like when it was in the field, it will not be so casual."
"Yes, Mistress Mongo."
"I'm going to talk to Windsor about something, Tsing Yi, you ...... with me"
……
The entire construction site of the City of Devotion is a busy scene, and if you look at it from the air, there are people in action everywhere around it, centered on the green in the center, each striving for the largest project of the Runeterone City to date.
When the gaze is turned away from the urban construction area and turned to the west, a similar scene reappeared.
This time, the NPCs who were busy working on the road between the Three Forks and the Pious City had previous experience in building the Grand Canyon Road and the Trade Route, and the craftsmen of Runetera City were already familiar with it, and everything was in order.
And now the popularity of Rune City is far from being comparable to the original, and now the number of players participating in the road construction alone has exceeded 500.
These players can provide food and other supplies to NPCs on the construction site through missions posted at the fork in the road, clear the occasional annoying monster in the forest, and even collect wood and a small amount of stone in the jungle, among other things.
It won't be long before the first players will feel lucky, because with the spread of live broadcasts and forums, the news of Runeterra's construction will soon spread around the world, and this kind of large-scale story mission is hard to come by, but those who come after will be annoyed to find that the mission opportunities are almost all occupied by players who act quickly.
Of course, as the construction work is in full swing, the gold coins of Runetera City are also being spent, and the relevant statistical posts on the forum are jaw-dropping to ordinary players, and professional players and teams are secretly sighing.
If they are allowed to come to Rune City to be in charge, even if they have so much money, it is impossible to spend it like Lu Kuan - first, they are not sure of the rate of return, so they don't dare, and second, 99% of the professional groups have financiers behind them, and they probably won't agree to spend money so lavishly.
By this time, the heads of those big guilds began to secretly envy Lao Lu.
It must be very nice to be able to be independent and dictatory.
……
Eyes moved to the north of the Nightfall Crater, thousands of miles to the north, and Iron Boots City was in the teleportation array of the sinkhole.
Gotar, the lord of Iron Boots, sat on a stone, holding a triangular leather bag in his hand, and poured two sips of wine, looking at the dazzling sunset red in the west, his eyes solemn.
Beside him, Dane, who was dressed in a black robe, stood silently and solemnly, the shadow of his hood covering most of his face, and he couldn't see the expression of the high priest clearly.
"You called me over just to let me watch you drink?" It was a moment before Dane spoke.
Gotar glanced up at the orcs: "Why did you change your voice after you became a lich, it sounds like." ”
Dane looked sideways at Gotal, expressionless - after transforming into a lich, Dane felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to control his facial muscles, and when he often wanted to laugh, he showed a look that was more ugly than crying, so he simply gave up on himself and kept it the way he was.
"Still sulking? Didn't all the men of Isa go away? Dane turned his head and stared straight into the setting sun, as if he were not afraid of the harsh sunlight.
"Humph!"
The dwarf king looked disdainful and said, "In the past, they were all petty fights, sending some spies to undercover or something, I didn't even see it, but this time they swaggered into my city lord's mansion and asked me for the right to tax Iron Boots City?" Sooner or later, the Northern Empire will be destroyed at the hands of these idiots! ”
What Gottal said happened not long ago when Dane was transforming the lich, and if the transformation ritual fails, it will probably become a reality.
Because Iron Boots City is no better than Rune City, a hundred miles to the west is Rapids, and the nobles of Rapids Harbor and Isa City are in collusion, if the Rapids Harbor soldiers were pressed at that time, and without the help of Dane and his friends, Iron Boots City would not be able to resist at all.
At this moment, there was a flash of white light in the teleportation array, and a large caravan was gradually emerging from it, Dane pressed down the hood, and said to the irascible dwarf: "So what? Started thinking about my proposal? ”
The dwarf fell silent, his elbows on his knees, and looked at the busy crowd on the road not far away.
Since the promulgation of a series of policies to encourage trade, the scale of trade in Iron Boots City has skyrocketed three times compared with before, which is of course due to the fact that Iron Boots City's commerce and trade are underdeveloped and the foundation is weak, but the prosperity and dazzling gold coins brought by the trade routes, as long as you are not blind, can see clearly.
It's easy to say, what Rune City has done is to open up the north-south passage, but it is this simple thing, one thing that no one has thought of for so many years, has been done by Rune City.
What made Gottal hesitate was Dane's proposal to bring over on behalf of the High Lord of Runeterra.
Lao Lu hopes that Rune City and Iron Boots City can form an alliance and form a triangular alliance with Antler City to the west - this suggestion is too tempting, if the three can form a substantial alliance and share information resources, no matter how you look at it, Iron Boots City will take advantage of it.
Commercial information alone is insignificant, as long as Lao Lu slightly relaxes the teleportation fee from Rune City to Iron Boots City, many commodities that are not suitable for traveling north by land and are trapped by high teleportation fees will come to Iron Boots City endlessly.
The goods that are sold to the Far North are a good example.
But the alliance is mutual, and once Iron Boots becomes an ally of Runera, it means that it will have to turn against Isa City and Riptide Harbor - it's like a fly on the bald man's head, obviously.
Gottal fell into thought, but Dane didn't urge, and looked at the convoys coming and going on the trade road steadily, the red necromantic magic light in his eyes looming.
……
The Vine Spirit Realm.
In the dim underworld, with its blazing black flames, no longer as conspicuous as it had been on the ground, Dimi was like a giant black ghost, running like a flight on the steep stone walls.
"Woo......"
Somewhere in the middle of the cave, there was a faint grunt, mixed with the low roar of the beast, and the small movement quickly disappeared, but there was a commotion in the cave.
One piece, two pieces......
Countless crimson flames lit up in the darkness, and in the seemingly void shadows, a large group of flame walkers quickly appeared, and the flames burning on their legs and backs lit up half of the cave, and also reflected the Celestial Crystal Winged people on the other side of the cave.
At one of the entrances of the cave, Lu Kuan, who was covered in blood, glanced left and right, sneered, and shot with a bow!
