Chapter 574: One Man's New Year
Approaching the New Year, Al did not rush back to the Plastic Energy Tower, but has been accompanying his fiancée Anne at the Viscount's Palace.
It has been a year since the war in the Empire of Light began, and although the Eagle Empire was not involved, it still had to be vigilant against being dragged into the water by the other two human empires. The three major human empires have lost the restraint of balance, and the dominant dark empire, the Pombo Dynasty, must always be careful of being taken advantage of by the intact Eagle Empire.
In fact, the Eagle Empire's intentions are clear, and the army is piled up on the border in the name of defense, ready to show its fangs at any time.
Father, brother, Amanda, Lu Oman and other eagle men who wanted to make contributions all went to the front line and did not come back for the New Year.
Al still underestimated an emperor's desire to unify the continent, and tried every possible way to turn the War of the Four Kingdoms into a battle between the two countries, but the Eagle Empire still refused to hand over the stage to others.
Even if the wheel of fate changes direction, it still goes to the established track.
The Eagle Empire is vacant at the moment, and Al's mother, Masti, has met with Al a few times, and is busy guarding the Iron and Blood Grand Duke and the Eagle City.
This New Year, Al, who is free, is unable to reunite with his family and friends for the first time.
Oh no, there's still a friend.
The genius mage of the Green family, Baron Hugh.
Hugh, who is bent on silent development, ignores the disputes of the outside world and carefully manages his territory, expanding, occupying, and plundering the wealth of foreign races. Increase your own accumulation and turn it into the power of the mage to move forward. He didn't even pay attention to the family call.
This time I went back to the imperial capital to find Al.
Actually, it wasn't the first time he had come back, but Al hadn't seen him in the family at that time, and this was the second time.
The reason for looking for Al is also very simple, to ask for accounts.
At the beginning, Al paid in installments, bought Hugh's Elemental Supreme Ring fragments, and after giving one million, he had no news because he was out on a trip, so that he was in arrears until now.
The territory consumes extremely money, and although the barony does not spend much money, he is a typical war to feed the war, and the consumption of war resources is more.
With the Elemental Monarch summoned by the Heroic Spirit stand-in as a high-end force, he only needs to recruit a wide range of people to push the map, and he can solve it in an instant when he encounters a powerful enemy flying away. The rest of the time can be handed over to his subordinates, and they can stay in the Baron's Mansion to study with peace of mind.
However, his barony is treacherous and troublesome, and when he expands his territory, he also provokes many powerful enemies.
The dragon vein dog head is only the weakest one, and there are not a few other powerful monster territories that overlap with the barony. Just a two-headed demon wolf with an incomparably grudge made him suffer heavy losses.
Hugh didn't want to provoke it, and the two-headed demon wolf with extraordinary wisdom had to die.
The two-headed demon wolf advanced and retreated like the wind alone, picking on the forces that raided the periphery at night to encroach on Hugh, and it was impossible to prevent it.
Hugh had to defend against the attack of a group of ancient frost goblins, and once again had to guard against the revenge of the two-headed demon wolf, and he was already emaciated, how could he have the heart to study magic again.
If he hadn't recruited a strong man to sit in the town, how could he have a chance to go back to the imperial capital to find Al.
When Al heard him complain, he understood some secret enemies in his heart, and he also wanted Al to become like this because of his territory.
Maybe these powerful monsters were brought in by other families for Hugh.
The four major families are involved with each other, and they don't know how to break the default rules, and the methods in the secret are also extremely damaging.
In the previous life, he was full of spirits, why did he become embarrassed like this in this life?
Was it because of the usage that Al gave Hugh artifact fragments that changed his fate?
"Your youthful vitality potion is simply a money-making machine, my four million should be repaid with interest. ”
"I'm in a hurry to buy supplies for my territory, and by the way, I'll hire a few strong men to slaughter the wolf. ”
In the Viscount Mansion of Al, Hugh has a bearded face, and he has long lost the cold and handsome appearance of the academy.
Al took the deposit ticket issued by the Temple of Fortune from his fiancée, Anne, and handed over four million with interest to Hugh.
"What kind of treasure have you found in your broken territory, and you have to keep it at a cost of so much. ”
If it weren't for the good things, he would have to keep his barren and cold territory with so much strength after recess?
At this time, the mainland was in turmoil, and with Hugh's ability, it was easy to earn another piece of territory.
Hugh was furious.
"You little devil haven't seen you for two years, and your height has increased a lot, but you are getting more and more annoying. ”
The appearance of avoiding the heavy and light made Al couldn't help but laugh.
Hugh couldn't hide it, and rolled his eyes angrily.
"A small magic crystal mine, are you interested? Come with me, and I'll give you a share. ”
Magic Crystal Mine?
With Al's current composure, he couldn't help but exclaim.
The magic crystal is a high-purity magic crystal, worth 10,000 gold coins, a magic crystal coin that can store seventh-order spells, is cut out of this.
A small magic crystal mine, to say the least, has the income of 100,000 magic crystal coins.
It turns out that asking for debts is fake, but asking for help is real.
He didn't want to swallow this magic crystal mine alone, so he refused to ask the family for help, and he didn't dare to release the news to recruit many strong people.
However, Al's potion workshop is no worse than the magic crystal mine. By the time his mage tower was built and the workshop was moved in, Hugh's magic crystals would eventually be used up, and his fortune would still be endless.
"I don't want to divide it, you give me two more ring fragments, and I'll help you solve those troubles. ”
Hugh heard that Al was going to splinter again, and immediately blew up.
"You take it and eat it, you want so much! I only have four in total, it's enough to divide half of you, and you still think about me?!"
"No, have you researched something again?!Do you have a way to repair the Elemental Supreme Ring?"
It's not impossible for this amazing imp to be able to turn artifact fragments into treasures, summon the will of the Elemental King, and then research new usages!
If the Elemental Supreme Ring can be restored, its power will be no worse than that of any artifact.
You must know that any elemental monarch is a great god level that can rival powerful divine power. It's just that they can't show their full power in the material world because the rules can't show their full power, and they are not interested in doing anything in the small material world.
Any Legendary Elemental Elder has a body larger than the Faeron Continent, and they can't come here to close themselves?
How could the Elemental Supreme Ring, which was jointly created by the Elemental Kings, be an ordinary artifact.
Naturally, Hugh could not contain his longing for such temptations.
"Are you crazy about artifacts? Without the consent of the four elemental gods, who can repair the Elemental Supreme Ring?"
"I lost the debris while I was traveling, otherwise what would I do with so much?"
Hugh knew it was impossible, but he sighed in disappointment when he heard Al say this.
"I only have two pieces left, and I can't give them to you again. ”
"Give it to you, and I won't be able to protect my territory. ”
