Chapter 472: Huge Source Crystal

Emilys was crowned, followed by the canonization ceremony.

This is also the content that people are most looking forward to, whether it is a meritorious person who has followed the queen for many years, or a new heir to the title who has been forced to submit, the moment that is waiting for it to come.

Valrogan took out a scroll and began the roll call: "Please come up to His Excellency Renne Augustus." ”

Except for a few high-level officials who knew the inside story, the vast majority of people were very surprised.

Wren's name is now known in Congartaro, and his deeds in the empire have spread, and for this heroic figure who seems to have come out of an epic, people are in awe at the same time, but also more alienated, which is a resistance to the foreign conquerors, thinking that sooner or later he will have to leave Congartro and return to the empire.

In the midst of the people's attention, Wren stood up.

Wearing a delicate armor, Wren was tall and straight, and his appearance was so handsome that the men present were jealous, but when he thought of his strength and origin, as well as the extreme warriors and spear-winged knights outside the temple, even those who were not convinced did not dare to show any signs at this time.

Wren walked up the steps and knelt down on one knee in front of Emilys' throne, but did not bow his head, making this position at his height almost eye level with the seated Emilys.

This is not in line with etiquette and seems very presumptuous.

Emilys didn't care, she smiled at Wren, put the dragonborn scepter representing the royal power in her hand lightly on Wren's shoulder, and said solemnly: "I, Emily Dragonburg, in the name and right of King Congartro, canonize you, Wren Augustus have the following fiefs: Dragonspine City, Streamstream City, Fort Felwood, Windy Valley City...... Dragon Forest, merged into the Duchy of Augustus...... Duke Augustus ......"

As Emilys' words spread, there was an uproar in the dragon temple.

Later, she read out a series of fiefdoms, and the movement in the crowd grew louder and louder, turning into a huge uproar, almost drowning out her voice.

The uproar was so loud that many overlooked a detail that Emilys's seal did not mention the dragon god Bahamut, who was canonized in the name of the king.

Emilys had to raise her voice, causing the temple to buzz and silence the noise of the people.

"I will be loyal to Your Majesty. ”

Wren immediately agreed and completed the entire process of the canonization ceremony.

He stood up and turned to face the people below, and saw shocked faces, their faces filled with consternation, bewilderment, and vague anger and opposition.

Most of these people were the nobles of Congartro natives, and they did not want to see an imperial occupying a large territory and creating an eighth principality, and it was such a large principality, and the location was so important, deep into the heart of Congartro.

"Humph!"

Wren snorted lightly, not loudly, but everyone in the temple could hear it clearly, and the faint dragon power went straight to their hearts, making the hearts of those nobles who were opposed to it tremble.

"Anyone who opposes His Majesty's canonization, please raise your hand. Wren asked in a deep voice.

His gaze swept over the angry noble lords, and all those who were favored by him had cowering expressions, bowing their heads and not daring to look at each other. Everyone is not stupid, and when they found that the dukes sitting in the front row did not react, they knew that this matter had already been decided, and now everyone is looking for death.

The establishment of the Duchy of Augustus, the most disadvantaged was the Lauberdire family, and the Duke of Dilan was silent, and it was not his turn to oppose it.

The dragon temple was silent for a few seconds, filled with an unsettling atmosphere.

Emily on the throne looked at her coldly, like a visitor.

This was discussed by the two in advance, and it was expected that there might be opposition to the canonization ceremony, so Ren would be the bad guy, and she would not make a statement, so that outsiders would have the guess that she was coerced, so as to unite the hearts of the nobles in the future.

Wren forcibly suppressed the opponents, and then approached the canonization document from Emilys's hand and returned to his seat.

Valrogan announced that the canonization ceremony had continued, calling for a second recipient.

However, the minds of everyone in the temple were not in the ceremony, and people frequently looked at Wren who was sitting in the first row, looking at his back, their minds were rolling like a tide, their expressions were complicated, and they had different expressions of shock, anger, jealousy, and envy.

Duchy of Augustus!

With the birth of an eighth duchie and a duke from the Empire, and behind it is the behemoth of the Floating City of Wezeland, which will make the future of the kingdom uncertain.

Some astute people, guessing some kind of change from the signs, looked thoughtful.

Today will be a day destined to go down in the history of Congatro.

On this day, the Zogenburg dynasty was restored, more than 30 million people welcomed a new queen, four new dukes succeeded by seven major duchies, and more than 20 noble lords were canonized in one go, including a newly established principality!

The ceremony, which lasted for several hours, ended, and Emily left under the watchful eyes of the people.

"Lord Duke!"

The Duke of Fisher, who was next to him, was the first to come up to congratulate him, and said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to Your Excellency on becoming the founder of the Duchy of Augustus, we will be neighbors in the future." ”

Prince Dolang of the Morth family laughed: "The Duchy of Morth is too. ”

Everyone congratulated Wren.

The newly established Duchy of Augustus was bordered by four duchies: the Duchy of Drogenburg to the north, the Duchy of Morse to the west, the Duchy of Fischer to the southwest, and the Duchy of Lauberdir to the south.

This is something that Emilys has carefully designed.

In this way, if there is any change in the three principalities in the future, the Duchy of Augustus will be in the middle and be able to react immediately, and the importance of the position is second only to the Duchy of Zogenburg, where the royal capital is located.

Wren responded to everyone one by one, paying special attention to his three neighbors.

The new Duke of Rauberdier barely squeezed out a smile, and he didn't dare to face Wren, after all, he still owed Wren three million gold dragons, and half of the deadline had passed, and the money raised was not even one million, so he couldn't explain it to the creditor.

Wren patted Dylan on the shoulder and smiled, and it was all in plain sight. After bidding farewell to everyone, he opened the portal and returned to the Red Dragon Castle to continue building the teleportation array.

After dozens of hours of continuous work, the last Mithril plate was finally cast.

While debugging was underway, Sicarius ran in.

"Boss, something found!"

Sicarius' feet slammed on the ground, causing half of the hall to tremble, making the teleportation array a little unstable during debugging.

Wren didn't care at all, and asked eagerly, "Where?"

"In a warehouse at the port of Longya Bay, if it was half a day late, it might be loaded onto the ship and sent away. Sicarius replied: "Rest assured, boss, the brothers have taken control." ”

"That's good. ”

Wren has always been very relieved about Sicarius's affairs, and the two of them are talking about a batch of source crystal ore.

On the night of the capture of Kingsland, Emilys sent someone to search the inside and outside of the Red Dragon Castle to count the treasury, only to find that a large number of Mithril was missing, including the source crystal ore transported from Dragonspine City, and the total number of these source crystal ores was recorded in the account books to be more than 100,000 pounds!

Mark's treasury had been empty for many years and owed a large amount of money, and Marc had to borrow money from Duke Dans to maintain his rule, as well as the expenses of the Giant Deer Legion.

This is one of the reasons why Marc knew about the queen's adultery, but turned a blind eye.

This batch of Mithril and Source Crystal Ore is the most valuable item in the treasury.

However, during the war, someone took advantage of the chaos to transport Mithril and Source Crystal Ore from the treasury, and they were missing. Enraged, Emily ordered Valrogan to pursue it with all her might, and finally got the result.

Wren opened the portal and led Sicarius to the port of Kingsland.

People in the harbor are pointing around a warehouse, and from a distance they see the bustle.

The outside of the warehouse was heavily surrounded by centaurs, and there were several Ultramarines guarding the door, and when they saw Wren coming, they shouted, "Boss." ”

Wren enters the warehouse and sees Valrogan, who has just been canonized as the "Marquis of Reese", interrogating a middle-aged man dressed in aristocratic clothes.

"Your Excellency. Valrogan saluted.

Wren nodded, glancing at the bloodstained prisoner, "He stole the treasury?"

"Yes. Varogen's face flashed with shame, he was responsible for a large part of this incident, he actually let people steal the treasure belonging to His Majesty under his nose, and the intelligence network he arranged was not noticed, and the wisdom of the first life was almost ruined.

"He is one of Marker's most trusted lords, and he has a personal friendship with the steward of Red Dragon Castle......"

Varogan was about to explain when he was interrupted by Wren.

He was not interested in any of these things, but as long as the things were recovered, he said, "I'll go and see if there is anything I need in that treasure." ”

"Lord Duke, please come with me. ”

Valrogan led Wren into a storeroom guarded by the Scaly Guards, which was filled with sacks of wheat, but that was only a cover-up, and the bags of wheat were turned open to reveal large wooden boxes underneath, at least thirty or forty of them.

"It's all open. Wren said.

Sicarius took a few Ultramarines to open all the chests, the front boxes contained golden dragons, gems, alchemy materials, Mithril, etc., and in the back, there were boxes of crystalline ores.

Source Crystal Mine!

Wren was overjoyed in his heart, the number of this batch of source crystal ore was more than expected, far more than 100,000 pounds in visual measurements, and it may more than double. He stepped forward and picked up a piece of source crystal ore, the metallic touch was probed, the purity was about twenty-fifth, it was from the Mithril Mine in Dragonspine City.

After counting, there were eight boxes of source crystal ore, with a total weight of 280,000 pounds!

"So much!"

Wren's breathing couldn't help but be a little heavier, which should have been accumulated by Marc over the years. Congatro called the source crystal ore "heavy silver", and for the vast majority of people, heavy silver was of little use and could only be sold by sea to foreign countries, such as the Empire or the New World.

However, even the empire could not digest so much heavy silver, and the alchemists rarely used it, so it was unsalable.

The result of oversupply is falling prices.

In Congatro, the market price of one pound of source crystal ore is about the hardware dragon, far lower than the empire's thirty to forty gold dong, and because the demand is too small, there is not much profit to speak of even the source crystal ore between the two places, resulting in the market not circulating.

There are also source crystal ores in the empire, which are sufficient.

That's all cheaper Wren.

280,000 pounds of source crystal ore, after purification, he can get more than 11,000 pounds of source crystals, nearly ten times more than all the source crystals he got before!

Wren thought of the Titan Elder's exchange list, these source crystals could be exchanged for too many good things.

Finally, I made a fortune myself!

"Marquis Reese, how about handing over all these heavy silver mines to me?" he asked with a smile, "as before, it will be recorded in my account, and the corresponding gold dragons of these ores will be deducted from my share when distributing the spoils." ”

Valrogan naturally will not object, he has already received instructions from the queen that everything is up to Wren, and Wren will give him whatever he wants.

"Lord Duke, you can take the ore with you now. ”

"Thank you. ”

With a wave of his hand, Wren opened a portal and ordered, "Sicarius, brothers, move everything." ”

Together, the Ultramarines moved the chest into the portal and placed it next to the soon-to-be-completed teleportation array.

Wren was about to follow him in when he suddenly remembered something.

The entrustment he promised to Marke, the illegitimate son who took care of him, has not been fulfilled until now. The address given by Marc seems to be not far from the port.

With a word to Sicarius, Wren walked out of the warehouse alone and activated the Invisibility Ring.

Stealth, through the harbor and into a remote alley not far from the docks, the stench of the roadside gutters and the cramped low, crowded houses. Most of the people who live here are poor people from the bottom of Kingsland, who have no farmland of their own, and can only work as dock haulers or as odd jobs in taverns and shops.

At the end of the alley, there is a small courtyard.

Although the yard is only a dozen square meters, it is walled and contains two narrow huts, but the conditions are much better than those of other families on the road.

Wren floated over the wall and observed the situation inside.

A breath and heartbeat was heard in the Voice of Everything, very powerful, much more powerful than a normal person, located in a corner of the room, breathing long, as if meditating.

This person should be Marke's illegitimate son.

Wren waited patiently for more than half an hour, and the people in the room finally moved, and finally came out of it, holding a long sword, and began to practice swords in the courtyard. When he saw the other party's appearance clearly, he finally understood why Marc couldn't be at ease with this bastard child.

She is Marke's daughter, not son.

From the outside, this is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, about one meter five tall, with a figure like bean sprouts without any ups and downs, her appearance is not good, her facial features are mediocre, but she has a pair of extremely smart black eyes. If you don't look at the looks, just look at this pair of eyes, which can make people feel an inexplicable amazement, as well as a refreshing and faint coldness.

She reminded Wren of Viola.

Viola is a half-elf, and the girl in front of her is also a half-elf, Viola's mother is a moon elf, and the girl in front of her seems to have moon elf blood.

I have to say, this is a coincidence.

Her appearance was just a disguise, and her true appearance was no less than Viola's.

"How did Marc hook up with the elves of last month?"

Wren muttered in his heart, his soul eyes saw more information, maybe even Mark's didn't know, his daughter was by no means an ordinary half-elf, there were secrets hidden in her soul, it seemed that this half-elf himself didn't know much about it.
