Chapter 166: Arantir 5
In the afternoon.
By the time Stephen had finished dealing with the other two hatching nests and returned to Arantir, the battle was almost over.
The Golem Legion is divided into four teams to clean up Arantir one area after another, and the traces of corruption that have spread are gradually dissipating due to the death of the lair, and their greatest role is to provide basic nutrients for the monsters to survive, but they will gradually die after clearing the nearby monsters. Obsidian gargoyles landed on Arantir's ruined walls, transforming back into their statue form, and Stephen gave them new orders to activate only when they spotted the MONOCULUS approaching. The heavy steel golem blocked the entrance to Arantir like a door god, and the battle inside was basically handed over to the stone golem.
The second cargo girl had already run out to clean up the battlefield with a cheerful face.
Stephen's maids brought the survivors of Arrantiel over, while Countess Illya led a group of men to Arantir's town hall.
Under the Floating Tower.
Miss Pasha and her party stood nervously and panicked, and the closer they got to the tower, the more panicked they became, for they could not understand how such a huge structure could fly into the sky. The number of survivors was about four or five hundred, and it seemed that some of them, except for Miss Pasha and her party, had survived hiding in the underground chambers. The massive floating tower cast a shadow that enveloped almost the entire square area, and they trembled in place, a little uncertain about their future fate. Because they didn't know what Stephen was going to do with them.
The Floating Tower cannot be lowered at the moment.
Arrantil didn't have that much open space, and it needed to build a massive lifting structure.
Stephen's figure slowly flew down.
He frowned slightly as he landed on the ground, looking at the mottled and filthy bloodstains around him, the entire city was heavily polluted, and there were monster corpses and blood spilled everywhere.
"Looks like we're going to have to call a heavy rain tomorrow. Stephen said to himself.
Shakers.
Of course, this is a necessary ability for legendary wizards, but the spells of the meteorological type are basically above the eight rings, and there are very few wizards who can study them on weekdays.
Hey?
Stephen's gaze swept among the survivors, and then he looked at them in surprise: "It's still a coincidence." ”
There was actually someone in there that he knew.
However, the two sides were just general acquaintances, and Stephen had only followed their caravan to Windy City when he first came to this world. The original leader of the caravan seems to be gone, and now the leader of the caravan is his daughter, the veiled girl, who was originally in charge of the entire caravan, Stephen remembers it well, this is a very powerful businesswoman.
Another notable thing is the only Argonian warrior in the crowd.
His name seems to be Dixon, and Stephen is more impressed with him, because this Argonian warrior seems to be a chatterbox, and he has the most words in the days he has followed the caravan.
This is a very good fighter.
At the moment, it seems that he has advanced to the next level, and the strong physique of the Argonian is well suited to the path of a warrior.
"Your Excellency. ”
"Thank you so much for saving us. Miss Pasha stepped forward with a little trepidation.
She looked at Stephen in front of her a little familiarly, but she didn't recognize it, because every time the caravan went back and forth, Stephen had only stayed with them for a few days, and he was completely different from then. That Stephen was dressed as a broken nobleman, and now he was the legendary wizard that everyone needed to look up to.
"It's a gesture. Stephen smiled.
He looked at the other survivors, and then frowned slightly, as he saw some nobles.
"You're safe now. Stephen pondered for a moment and said, "If anyone wants to leave, I'll prepare some supplies and weapons for you." ”
"But if you want to stay here, you have to play by my rules. ”
"The situation outside is not good now, the whole world has been invaded by ancient evil creatures, if you don't have any strength yourself, I still recommend staying in Arantir for the time being. ”
With that, he glanced at the few nobles in the crowd again, and turned back to the wizard's tower.
The surviving nobility of the locality.
Stephen thought they were dead, but it didn't look like they were there.
These people are quite smart and know that they can't jump out to find trouble at this time, but it's also a bit of trouble for them to stay, and Stephen is going to find someone to spy on them, and then pick a time to go directly to exile.
Arrantil is his territory.
Stephen would never allow the original aristocratic power to continue to exist here.
"Wow!"
"Master, master, we have found good gold!" said the second woman's voice.
Stephen's face suddenly became a little happy when he heard this, and he ordered, "Very good." Immediately have the golem transport them to the Floating Tower. ”
Arantir is a city with a lot of heritage.
Although it has been war-torn but still has a little bit of a family, Stephen immediately sealed off the entire noble district and commercial district, and now Countess Illya is leading people to collect the spoils from it. Mainly gold, silver, precious stones, steel, weapons, armor, etc., those crafts have basically been damaged. The second cargo is responsible for leading people to dig the basement of the aristocratic district one by one, the aboriginal nobles are very fond of hiding their wealth in the cellar, and the Zela ant clan is currently helping to dig it one by one.
All this wealth belongs to Stephen, and no one can rob him of it.
The survivors were temporarily resettled in civilian areas.
Stephen is not worried here, because the commoners of the aboriginal world basically have no wealth, and it would be good to be able to sustain their daily stomachs.
He didn't mind if these people were just picking up a little money.
Night falls.
Countess Elijah commanded boxes of gold, silver and jewels to be transported to the floating tower, and at this moment the noblewoman with the best appearance in the north was also excited, and from time to time she would pick up some precious jewels to look at them, and ordered the others to store them separately.
These are more famous expensive jewelry.
As for the specific value of this harvest, I may have to take the time to count it after I go back.
However, the approximate amount can still be counted, and they have collected about one and two hundred thousand gold coins from the treasury of Arantir, and then the nobles should have more than eight million gold coins worth of gold, silver and jewelry, according to the calculation of about 100,000 gold coins per household, and there are about two or three million gold coins in the commercial district, which adds up to more than 12 million gold coins. As for the other materials, it is not easy to count, the biggest trade in Yalandir is cloth, grain, steel, spices, etc., the monsters are not interested in these, they are only interested in mortal flesh and blood, so the goods in the commercial area are at least more than fifty percent.
The wealth here is basically taken away.
Arrantiel was Stephen's territory reserved for the Zela Antclan, who were not very interested in the gold, silver, and jewelry.
Hundreds of boxes, large and small, were transported to the Floating City.
On the other side of the civilian area, some of the survivors drooled, and the few nobles who survived were even more red-eyed, in their opinion, these were all their own wealth.
"Miss. What do we do now?" Dixon, the Argonian, looked at the fire not far away and lowered his voice.
Miss Pasha was also watching into the distance, boxes of gold and silver had been shipped away, and now they were filled with some jewelry, and any box taken out of it would exceed the wealth of the entire caravan, and the impact on a shrewd businesswoman was quite large, and she muttered, "Wait a minute." There should still be monsters entrenched outside, and the trade route between the highlands and the north may not be as easy to walk as before. ”
"Our camels are dead. ”
"There's no way to get the goods back on that alone. And the world is no longer the same, and we should find ways to adapt to this change. ”
The Argonian was a little confused, so he said, "Miss." Tell me what you think. I don't understand it. ”
Miss Pasha rubbed her forehead with a little headache when she heard this, and then said, "This Excellency who saved us should be a powerful wizard. For such a wizard, many things are simply not needed. For example, these pieces of jewellery that have been shipped over. But they are very popular in the wealthy parts of the South, and the Lord should need a partner to help him sell the jewelry. ”
The Argonian still looked like he didn't understand, and asked, "Is the young lady going to help him sell these jewelry?"
Miss Pasha glanced at the Argonian and said slowly, "Such a powerful Excellency must not have time to take care of some business trivialities, so these trivialities will definitely need someone to help him deal with them." If we can enlist his support, maybe the Chamber will be able to get back to its prime. ”
The wurm touched his head and said, "This ...... Miss, do you think Your Excellency, with such power, will look down on us?......"
"I don't know. Miss Pasha shook her head and said, "But we have to fight for it, and this is an important opportunity." ”
All night long.
The golems are constantly carrying things, the warehouse of the floating tower is already full, and now there are mountains of grain piled up outside, if it wasn't for the previous fire, I'm afraid the amount of food would be even more. Cities of this era were fond of hoarding enough food to last for several years. On the opposite side of the grain are stacked steel, armor, and weapons, a small part of which seems to have been corrupted because of monsters, but the weapons in the arsenal are well preserved, and a set of leather armor, heavy armor, and full-body armor are casually piled on the ground, especially those full-body armor, many of which are heirlooms of aristocratic families, and Stephen has collected hundreds of sets of full-body armor in one go, which are basically found in the aristocratic area. Thousands of strong bows were thrown directly in the corners because of their lack of position, as well as piles of military crossbows, shields without iron were thrown directly, and all the heavy shields were transported.
Cloth was piled up outside the tower to form a mountain.
The clothes of those dead people will definitely not be scraped, but the jewelry on their bodies must be taken away, and many of these cloths are dirty, but it doesn't matter if you take them back and wash them.
There are many other miscellaneous things, so I don't need to describe them one by one here.
Inside the Wizard's Tower.
Stephen looked at the resources piled up outside with a slight headache, because there were many things in it that he couldn't use.
Needless to say, gold, silver, and jewelry.
It was enough for him to leave a few dozen pieces for everyone, but there were more than a dozen boxes outside, and these things must have to find a way to get rid of them. Then there are cloths, weapons, armor, etc., some of which are left for Countess Illya's guards, but most of them are still not needed, Stephen will make magic steel armor in the future, all of them are all enchanted equipment, this kind of steel forging thing he doesn't like at all.
These have to be sold.
The whole city was almost empty of valuable things, and more than seventy percent of the loot harvested this time was useless.
"The hosts. ”
"The corpse of the monster has been cleaned. ”
A row of the most important loot lists appeared before Stephen's eyes.
The harvest on the monster is the bulk of this battle, Stephen has obtained a total of more than 3,000 pieces of flesh and blood essence, of which there are more than ten pieces of high-quality ones, more than seventy percent of these harvests are for the Empress of the Zela Ant Clan, she can use the flesh essence to catalyze the speed of ant colony hatching. Then the soul spars were even less than expected, there were about more than a thousand small soul spars, but the number of medium-sized soul spars was close to a thousand, and the number of large soul spars was actually as many as fifteen, which were basically dropped by monsters such as aberrant trolls, aberrant devourers, and so on.
"Could it be that killing monsters with lightning spells really improves the quality of the soul crystals dropped?" Stephen was surprised.
Lightning spells can damage spirits.
The souls of many monsters were dissipated under the lightning attack, so the number of small soul crystals plummeted, but the scattered soul power seemed to cause a chain reaction again, and the number of medium-sized soul crystals increased by at least about 50% compared to the expected, and then the large soul crystals could be said to have exploded once.
"I can try again next time. Stephen said to himself.
According to the normal drop rate, so many monsters have at least thousands of small soul crystals, but now the number of medium-sized soul crystals has increased significantly, and it should be said that the luck explosion has made a fortune. The only downside is that this means must be done by Stephen himself, and the golem does not have the ability to attack with lightning in a large area.
"The hosts. Miss Tinax appeared outside the door.
She leaned over Stephen and said, "There's a businesswoman named Pasha out there who wants to see you." ”
Business woman?
It turned out to be her!
What did she want to see herself for at this time?
Stephen nodded thoughtfully, "Yes." Let her in. ”
