"Rachel, your mother, the Grand Magician Quirin Cappado, may still be alive!"

"Don't cry, don't rejoice too soon, this news may be the bait that the Marquis of Strave wants to lure you out, but there must be some truth in a lie to make people fooled, you have to calm your heart, and don't go to the Holy See to find out easily. If you don't move, you won't be fooled. ”

"What are I going to do? Wait, when you have gained the favor of the Holy See, and stand at a high enough height, the fog of the past can no longer obscure your vision. ”

"Rachel, protect yourself."

……

Rachel gets into the carriage to Port Sanctuary.

Before leaving, there was reluctance, longing, confusion, and firmness in her eyes.

With her mind, she didn't quite understand what Liu Ci said about "hibernation", but this little girl had an advantage, that is, she listened to Liu Ci's words extremely.

Watching Rachel get into the carriage, the priestess cast her a deeply hidden smug look, and Liu Ci couldn't understand what the woman had been trying to figure out all day. The priestess actively wanted to take Rachel to the Holy Land Harbor to remove the "seal", I don't know if it was loyalty to the God of Light and the Holy See, or if there was some other reason, but she didn't say these words to Rachel, the little girl's heart was too small to hold too many things.

Even Liu Ci pondered similar things all day long, and he was very irritable all day long, and sometimes he really wanted to leave all the mess and go back to the crystal mine to farm!

Of course, what she wants back most is the Earth Federation.

She misses the lake breeze in Dongting, the laurel fragrance on Junshan Island, the plump hairy crabs in autumn, and Sister A...... She has to cultivate, and the dust fairy "said" when she preached, and when the monk turns into a god, she can break through the realm and soar, which is her only opportunity to return to the Earth Federation.

"Miss Ci, the Academy of Magic has sent someone to send gold coins."

The maid Nana knocked lightly on the door, waking Liu Ci up from her thoughts.

Hmph, if she wants to cultivate with peace of mind and ascend as soon as possible, she must have the power of self-protection in this continent, otherwise who is impatient to take care of these complicated "trivial matters"! Liu Ci opened his eyes, stood up and opened the door.

"Let's go, go and take it."

Nana nodded, admiring Liu Ci very much in her heart. Miss is so powerful, she can make money from the magic academy, and those magicians always use their nostrils to breathe when they see people, hum.

10,000 gold coins is not a small amount, and the monetary system of the Magic Continent is not a virtual "crystal coin" of the Earth Federation, it is a gold coin, a gold coin of real value. The 10,000 gold coins were pulled in a large four-wheeled carriage, and it took some time to collect them, and someone in front of the inn pointed and pointed, and Nana commanded the people to carry them in.

This time, he earned 30,000 gold coins from the Amster Academy of Magic and Wizardry, and with the balance in his hands before, Liu Ci had a total of 50,000 gold coins in his hands. For the herdsmen in Emst, she is very rich, but for Liu Ci, the money is too little.

I wonder how Mrs. Betty has inquired about the land for her?

Even if the seeds are sown now, it will be a long time before they can reap the harvest - in the continent of Emster, although agriculture is not very dominant, it is actually the safest place.

"Lydia, have you and Arnold been bored lately?"

In the afternoon, in the small garden of the hotel, Liu Ci asked Nana to make three cups of tea.

Lydia nodded vigorously, not only was she bored, but her whole body was about to rust. Arnold seemed in a trance, and Liu Ci did not bother with the man who had lost his memory and lost love.

"If I want to build an adventure team, how much money do I need upfront?"

When it comes to the adventure team, Lydia obviously has a lot of experience.

"It depends on the size you need."

"What if you are given 30,000 gold coins now, and you can continue to invest it later? I want an adventuring team, not just an adventuring team, which can enter the Moroch Mountains, can take on mercenary missions, and can even do anything else if necessary, as long as I tell them, they will not hesitate to carry them out, you know? ”

Lydia was shocked, Liu Ci wanted to train a private soldier? Or the elite soldier in the training of private soldiers, what does Miss Ci want, you must know that in the magic continent, only nobles can domesticate private soldiers.

Whether it's the Magic Guild or the Mercenary Guild, they're very loose organizations in nature.

These were too far away from Lydia's level to make her not know how to answer for a while.

Arnold, who had been shaking his head, gradually cheered up, "Mercenaries are available!" ”

Liu Ci nodded approvingly, "It's really not easy to build a team out of thin air, a group of people in the Moi Tavern have a good foundation, and if the fittest survives, a few good seedlings can be picked." ”

Arnold's face was solemn: "Thirty thousand gold coins is too little, Miss Ci." ”

Equipment, people, and elite soldiers are all smashed out with money, and of course she knows that 30,000 gold coins is too little. Liu Ciyi waved his hand: "Thirty thousand gold coins is just the foundation, take your time." ”

"Yes."

Probably touching Arnold's interest, his empty eyes were in focus again.

30,000 gold coins, you must know that the adventure team established by Lydia in the past has an income of less than 10,000 gold coins a year, and in a few words, you can hear Liu Ci's generosity.

Liu Ci put down the teacup, and the corner of his eye swept over the outside of the hotel.

"Take the Marquis's people and practice your hands."

Arnold and Lydia stood up straight, their faces cold and solemn, Liu Ci said it lightly, but they both had war intent in their eyes.

The honor of a swordsman can only be drawn from a fighting battle.

Since she decided to follow Liu Ci, her every command is worthy of their solemn attention.

Being followed by a swarm of flies all day long, Liu Ci's patience was also exhausted. Rachel chose a different path, and her eyes didn't have to remain on the Rhine.

Marquis Strel, she's put up with him for a long time, it's time to make a break.

Liu Ci's letter to the old butler James had already departed with the caravan, and the apartment in the Rhine City could be kept, but James was going to be transferred to Emster.

Outside the city of Amster, the barren and water-deficient vast tracts of land were Liu Ci's targets.

She can farm in another place, at least Liu Ci will not worry about the lack of water.

Not only does she have water, but she also has agricultural books!

In the Magic Continent, where agriculture is not taken seriously, the technology on the "Qi Min Yao Shu New Edition" is actually very advanced.

It won't be long before Emster has one more oasis...... Liu Ci squinted, as if he had seen a bright future.

Nana refilled the tea beside her, and felt that her master's expression in a daze was very beautiful.

In the evening, Liu Ci took Nana to Moi's Tavern.

The bustling tavern was rarely calm, and a few mercenaries sat in the tavern drinking, leaving Lady Betty listless.

"Good evening, ma'am."

Liu Ci greeted him with a smile, Mrs. Betty's business was not good, but she was in a good mood. Because Liu Ci understood where most of the mercenaries gathered in the Moi Tavern had gone.

"It's Miss Ci!"

Mrs. Betty's face also softened a little, "You asked me to find a winery, and I already have eyebrows." ”

Mrs. Betty beckoned Liu Ci to go to a place where no one was around, and then took out a yellowed parchment roll.

"It's ...... Map outside Emst? ”

Liu Ci looked at it carefully for a while, and was a little surprised when he raised his head. It was not surprising that Mrs. Betty had a topographical map of the outskirts of Emster, and no matter how loose the Mercenary Guild was, it was not something she could underestimate now.

Liu Ci was surprised that the drawing of the map was very detailed.

The proportions of mountains and rivers are perfect. After a while, she remembered that the social structure of this world was very strange, not only did there be two unscientific things such as "magic" and "vindictiveness", but in fact, because of the most unscientific "magic", many sciences were derived. The existence of alchemists has brought pharmacy and alchemy to an unbelievable level, and for the sake of magic scrolls, mathematics has also produced a deformed and high-speed development...... What's so strange about being able to draw accurate maps?

"Miss Ci, if you look at the places marked by these three circles, they are negotiable."

Mrs. Betty's chubby fingers moved on the parchment map, "This place is the closest to the city of Amster, and it is convenient, but unfortunately most of the surrounding area is salt soil that cannot be cultivated, although there was a small winery, it is very troublesome to expand and develop, I do not recommend Miss Ci to buy here, although it is the most remote." ”

Salt soil? It's about saline-alkali land, and it's really troublesome to renovate. Liu Ci nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Betty's fingers moved down and into another place.

"It's big, flat, fertile grassland, and although it's a bit more expensive, it's the fastest way to recoup your costs."

Liu Ci shook his head, "Before it develops, it offends a large number of herdsmen, which is not cost-effective." ”

Mrs. Betty was stunned, Liu Ci was not an ordinary person at first glance, but she took the reactions of those ordinary herdsmen to heart, which was really indescribably weird.

Lady Betty had never seen anything like that anyway.

"That can't be helped, it's just the city of Amster to the west. The price is cheap, the area is large, and no one cares how much you want. ”

Liu Ci thought thoughtfully, "Is it because of the lack of water?" ”

Mrs. Betty nodded, with a hint of solemnity on her face: "It's very dehydrated." ”

Liu Ci looked at the third red circle marked on the map, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the middle was low and flat, even if it was a lack of water, it was also an exciting terrain.

It's easy to defend and hard to attack, what a good place.

Liu Ci covered the parchment scroll: "Madam, I hope to go to the third place and see it on the spot." ”

Mrs. Betty did not refuse.

No matter whether Liu Ci has so much money that she panics, or there is a way to solve the problem of water shortage, what does it matter to her, it is a good thing that everyone has money to make.

The meeting was pleasant on both sides.

When Liu Ci returned to the hotel, it was almost dark.

Before she could enter the gate, a figure pounced on her and tried to hug her.

Liu Ci reflexively kicked the man away, and Stull Garland lay on the ground, staring at her with tears in his eyes.

"Boss, we seem to be going rich!"

Liu Ci's eyes lit up, and he smiled and helped Stull up and made a fortune, haha, she is most short of money now.

The person who can send her money, even if it is a fat person, is also a fat person who is pleasing to the eye.

Liu Ci smiled like a fox.
