Chapter 180: Abandoned Mines and the Underground World
Back in Stormwind, it was already three days later, Gianna did not follow Anduin, she met Dalaran's mage group on the way, so she said goodbye, and when she left, she took the projector with the video with her, and pretended to warn him fiercely that he knew what silence was golden.
It didn't take long for the traveling scholar Zhou Zhuo to ride the flying scroll and find Anduin walking alone in the vast ice sea, Sonia couldn't wait to jump off the scroll and rush into Anduin's arms, due to excessive force, both of them fell to the ground, and the Jenny turtle in the middle screamed for help, all thanks to the divination ability of this little guy, Anduin could meet his family so smoothly.
Old Furding, who came casually, looked at the two people who fell to the ground, and smiled with relief, after the incident on the floating island, he realized that the two children who once needed shelter from the wind and rain and escort had suddenly grown up, Anduin had the ability to summon, able to create infinite possibilities, and Sonia had also reached the peak of the fourth order, touching the threshold of the legendary level, if there was no accident, he would soon be able to completely take charge of himself.
The weather is cold, the wind is blowing and the snow is blowing, it is not a good time to keep warm in private, Anduin looked back at the long-disappeared island in the sea, and buried the night with Gianna in the bottom of his heart, the reason why the two have such a communication is more because of fate, and after waking up, he kept a certain distance again, he patted Sonia on the shoulder, chuckled and walked towards the flying scroll of the traveling scholar, but he couldn't see Sonia quietly put away a long blonde hair that did not belong to Anduin.
When the news of Anduin's safe return spread throughout Stormwind, almost all the townspeople braved the snow and rushed to the Hearthstone Inn to witness the arrival of the Holy Light, which not only swept away the gloom caused by the floating island, but even greatly strengthened their confidence in settling in Stormwindtown.
Who else can bring about the miracle of the coming of the Light but the incarnation of the Light?
This news quickly fermented in three days, so that some devout believers in the Silver Fortress, despite the long journey, flocked to the city, and they did not want to join the Sun Church, originally planned to follow Anduin and settle in the expanded Stormwind Town, but as soon as they heard the news, they could no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts, and came to Stormwind Town like birds returning to their nests, trying to find the traces left by the Holy Light.
In addition, the advance force of the Knights of Champions has been stationed in the center of Stormwind's expansion, and standing in front of the Hearthstone Inn, you can see the temporary gathering place that has just been built, and the architects, people, support staff, and most of the Champion Knights will live there for a period of time until the expansion of Stormwind is completed and becomes Stormwind.
It is worth mentioning that the reason for the sudden acceleration of the expansion process was that he was personally supervised by Terenus, and what happened on the floating island had already fallen into his ears, and out of gratitude and compensation, he decided to immediately crown Andu Marquis because of Stormwind, and made the expansion of Stormwind Town a top priority.
Standing in front of the gates of the Hearthstone Inn, greeted by the cheers of the Stormstorm townspeople, the respect of the Stronghold's faithful, and the scrutiny of the Champion Knight, Anduin asked Jones, who was standing beside him, about Arthas, and learned that he had returned to Stormwind a day before him, so he rushed straight to the Silver Fortress without stopping, leaving behind the evil Ember Bringer.
Hearing this, Anduin nodded slightly, the entanglement of the floating island needs time to resolve, as the so-called easy nature of the country is difficult to change, Anduin does not believe that he saved Arthas, he can completely change the other party's character, some things, it takes time to resolve, stay away for the time being, it is a more ideal situation.
In order to celebrate the difficulties of Stormwind Town, and the opening of the expansion project of Stormwind Town, Anduin waved his hand and held a barbecue banquet very generously, so that the cheerful atmosphere dispelled the cold of winter, but midnight fell, Anduin could only look at the shriveled wallet, sighing, this turmoil made him spend a lot of mana crystals, and the cards and a black magic stone in the account were not enough to fill the huge crystal deficit, but later he had a long conversation with Ferdin, but it brought a lot of comfort.
Because Anduin got the most powerful legendary card yet.
Card Name: Tirio Fording
Card Category: Follower
Class: Knight
Card Level: Legendary
Exchange fee: 5,000 mana crystals
Card Effect: Summon Paladin Tirio Fording and fight for you.
Card description: This legendary card doesn't have bells and whistles, but it's definitely worth the price.
The gray-haired old Ferdin, whose strength has not diminished back then, is enough to make many people look up to him, and he who has the Ash Messenger can even temporarily seal Berval, who holds the Frost Sorrow, although there is a part of the reason for taking the lead, it shows how strong his strength is.
"Alas, Qian Qianqian, why are you so desperate for money?" Anduin sighed in his heart, and the comfort brought by the legendary cards was quickly diluted by the high cost.
[You get what you pay for, and Tong Su is not bullied. 】
Anduin ignored him, turned around and broke into the underground passage, and came to the elven imperial capital under the Well of the Sun to inspect the cultivation of Max the kobold.
"Oh! Anduin, you've come just in time, I've got all these ecological domes, and they're growing very well, when will you get the next batch? I've got a lot of mushrooms to grow! ”
The mushroom dealer rushed to Anduin with the signature stench, and it seemed that this maverick kobold liked his current job very much, and Anduin, who was shy in his pocket, did not rush to answer, but first checked the rise of several ecological domes, and found that as Max said, these fungal crops suitable for growing deep underground were growing well, and also dispelled Anduin's last concerns.
"Anduin! Anduin! Hurry up and give me an accurate word! The mushroom dealer was a little anxious, "Didn't we say we wanted to make money?" At most, in two or three days, this batch of fluorescent mushrooms can be formed, look, do you see that thing, I took the time to make a pharmaceutical table, although this batch of mushrooms because of the limited materials, can not make high-grade medicines, but not to say anything, you can also make a lot of money, then again, do you plan to sell? Don't tell me, you're going to produce and sell it yourself, your Storm Town can eat one or two batches at most, it's not much use, these potions are all aggressive, you can't just throw them around and play with them, right? ”
Anduin didn't expect the potion industry to be launched quickly, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, looking at the sloppy Max, he felt very kind, and asked about the specific effect and value range of the potion, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, in the short term, these potions will be supplied to Stormwind Town, I am ready to make good use of environmental resources and open up channels to make money, in addition, I will start to open up the market for dwarfs and goblins as soon as possible, the Holy Empire and the orc tribe, and I will not consider it for the time being." ”
"Goblins?" The kobold raised his eyebrows, and said in a strange manner, "It's not easy to mess with the goblins over there, the Dark Gold Sect of Garkisen, you should have heard of it, right?" Sect leader Kazakus is a character, and the main potions are almost circulated on half the continent, unless the potion industry here is on a scale, it's best not to provoke that guy. ”
"Tsk, I didn't expect that Max, the master of potions who is not afraid of heaven and earth, actually has times when he is afraid?"
"Afraid?"
The kobold lifted his trench coat and shook his head with his head held high: "I was chased and killed by Towager that idiot before, every day, and I didn't have much time to study potions, but even so, I made the caveman's potion business thrive, Anduin, it's not me bragging, it won't be long before the potion market around Stormwind Town will have to be up to us, to tell you the truth, I've dealt with Kazakus a lot, I know his details, I asked you to avoid Gakison for the time being, just to paralyze this arrogant guy, When our scale is on the right track, we can let it go! ”
Anduin raised his eyebrows, his mood became more and more wonderful, it seemed that everything about the potion, the mushroom dealer Max was clear, which saved him a lot of thoughts, and also took some detours, and then, Anduin began to follow the future plan of the elf imperial capital, continue to develop the ecological dome, so that the kobold was overjoyed, an absolutely safe and comfortable research environment, is what he dreamed of.
Gone are the days when he was afraid to be at the mercy of others, and all of this was brought to him by this human named Anduin. Satisfied with this, Max dutifully worked as a gardener and worked even harder to manage Anduin's private back garden.
"Anduin, I promise these mushrooms will bring you a steady stream of gold!"
"I believe it."
Anduin nodded, slowly walked away from the mushroom cultivation area, and built the ecological dome again, Max was a little puzzled: "What are you going to do?" I remember that on the planning map, this area was empty. ”
"We'll find out in a moment."
Anduin sold a pass, let the ecological dome grow to a suitable degree, and then applied fresh soil, adjusted the environmental data, to ensure that the ** crystal can achieve the best growth conditions, he did not plant ** crystal for the first time, in order to test the effect of the ecological dome, after all, the price of ** crystal is still high, Anduin can not afford any loss, after witnessing the effect of the ecological dome, he also dispelled all his concerns, and then according to the system guidelines, first buried two thousand mana crystals in the soil to form an energy circle, Then put the ** crystal on the node of the energy circle, and with the dual effect of the sun well and the energy forensics, the growth cycle of the ** crystal is shortened to about 30 days.
During this period, Max watched quietly and blankly as Anduin buried the last ** crystal into the soil, and then asked inexplicably: "Are you going to cultivate ** crystal?" This method is new, where did you learn it? ”
"Heaven must not be divulged." Anduin pretended to laugh mysteriously, to hide the sadness of the mana crystal dropping to three digits, "I will come back to see you in a few days, and I hope to hear good news then." ”
……
For the rest of the week, Stormwind spent the rest of the town.
The renovation of the Storm Branch of the Explorers Guild has been completed, both in terms of scale and specifications, which is much more than the original, because Renault does not want to stay in the Silver Fortress with a complicated situation, and is ready to move to Stormwind Town en masse, and Van Cleef, who led the crowd to complete the transformation task, returned to the Silver Fortress non-stop after planning the overall layout of Stormwind City, preparing to go to the Stalker Guild to complete the advanced ritual to ensure that his body can bear the high-load expansion task.
In addition, the two major events that happened on the floating island, under the impetus of people with intentions, gradually spread in the Holy Empire, however, the situation was much calmer than imagined, the root cause was that the Holy Light Holy See, which was supposed to take advantage of the situation to attack the imperial family, due to the awakening of the Holy Light Naru, could not care about other things at all, and the Pope ordered a full martial law to make secret negotiations with Naru, who had gone and returned.
In any case, the Holy Light is the foundation of the Holy See, if there is a mistake, the Holy See will fall apart overnight, and when the crisis is lifted and martial law is stopped, the Holy See will lose the best opportunity to reverse the situation, because the Black Dragon Princess has already been prepared, and she directed and acted in a big play, completing the transformation from behind the scenes to in front of the stage.
When the Black Dragon Princess made a deal with Antonidas to have Dalaran's mage group hunt down Blackmore, she began to prepare for prevention, and as soon as the news came, she immediately released the powerful beast imprisoned near the capital.
Although the strength of the beast did not reach the demigod, but it is also beyond the existence of the legend, it has rushed straight to the imperial capital since it appeared, dozens of legendary powerhouses have joined forces to meet it, but it has not been able to stop its pace, if Naru does not wake up, this is naturally a good opportunity for the Pope to be prestigious, but it is a pity that the negotiation has reached a critical moment, and the doppelganger lacks skills, so that the black dragon princess successfully completed her appearance plan, covering the black wings of the sky, and easily taming the beast.
Although there is not much to applaud this plan, but the fatal threat from death immediately made the people of the capital accept the black dragon, and then, the imperial royal family trumpeted the great exploits of the king of the black dragon, so that the people could not see the truth of "people", and finally, the black dragon princess turned into a human form, and under the witness of countless people, she accepted the monarch's canonization and became the Duchess of Catlana, although she did not get the fief for the time being, but she had the right to participate in politics.
Katrana's beauty and outstanding feats have made some gossip meaningless rumors, at least in the imperial capital, the Black Dragon Princess is deeply loved by the people, and the archdukes who are far away on the frontier of the empire, because of the Holy Light Holy See's immobility, most of them judged the situation and built momentum for it, and in just a few days, the two closely related names of Onexia and Katrana spread all over the country.
Of course, the surging undercurrent has never been in the territory of the Holy Empire, and it has stopped for a moment, and the appearance of the Black Dragon Princess has changed the Holy Empire from the opposition between the royal family and the Holy See to a three-legged stand, as I said before, human beings are an extremely xenophobic race, and many light or heavy characters, on different occasions and in different regions, have issued voices in support of the royal family, which makes the imperial monarch who is like a puppet see the possibility of getting out of the predicament.
In general, a new round of power vortex is gradually forming in the Holy Empire, and all of this will not affect Stormwind Town far away on the border for the time being.
The expansion project is in full swing, and the sale of the first batch of potions has also made Anduin gain a lot, with enough mana crystals, and he has enough confidence to complete the expansion plan.
On this day, Anduin takes Jones to an abandoned mine where his livestock has been emptied, and he wants to show the explorers the long-hidden underground world, and talk about a big business with a lot of money by the way......
