CHAPTER XLIII

Everyone in the Continent of God knows that elemental ore, magic core, and plant ore are the three most important energy sources in the entire continent, and among them, the easiest to absorb and utilize is elemental ore. The demand for elemental ores is unimaginable, and no matter how much there is, there is not enough of it.

If a new energy source can really be found, it ......

Seeing Feleg nodding, Mira dodged into the crypt, and after a while, came out of the crypt with a few stones in her hand, Ferero took it and looked at it, just like he thought, these were all stones full of energy.

"This is a mine, and that guy thinks this is a restaurant. Mira said, and went into the crypt, and within a few digs, several identical stones were unearthed.

"Well, it seems to be so, no wonder it wants to defend here, but unfortunately I can't do anything with this kind of stone, I have to look to Antonio, he is an alchemist, maybe he has a way. Feleg said uncertainly, alchemists should be regarded as a branch of magicians, and they are the worst kind, they can't help it, Antonio won't necessarily have a way.

"It's okay, but it's hard to locate in the Demon Forest, so it's not easy to find it next time. Mira said with a frown. He was right, in the Demon Forest, there are dense plants. In addition, the climate is suitable, the plant growth rate is very fast, and it will not take a month or two to change the original landform.

"I can't help it. Feleg shook his head and said, the magic imprint is a good choice, but after a period of time, the magic seed energy will slowly disappear, but I am afraid that it will not take more than a month, and there will be nothing.

This is different from the valley grassland, which is the home of the hurricane, and even if Feleg can't find it, the hurricane has a way to find a place. What's more, the valley grassland is only a few hundred kilometers away from the small mountain village, which is much closer than here.

After breaking up with Mira, Feleg walked in the forest for more than two months, not to mention the teacher Becca, he couldn't even see a figure, but he could often see the figure of Warcraft, fortunately, it was still an intermediate Warcraft area, and the number of Warcraft was not much, so there was no trouble.

In the end, Feleg had to give up reluctantly, and it was too difficult to find someone in the Demon Forest, knowing that the area of the Demon Forest was much larger than the total area of all empires.

Back in the valley steppe, he saw Merlin, much to Feleg's great touch. This girl with very poor magical talent, with the financial resources of her family, barely had the opportunity to become a magician, alone in the valley and grassland, enduring boundless loneliness, eating dry food that can only fill her stomach and has no taste, and is still working hard.

As Feleg thought, Merlin's talent was so poor that even with a sufficient amount of elemental ore, her progress was still several times slower than Feleg's, five months ago, she was just able to use a magic shield as thin as paper, and now she was barely able to release a pitiful magic bullet, and it was completely powerless.

Looking at the row of used elemental ores on the ground, Feleg wondered if he had made a mistake, these elemental ores, if they were used by a talented magic apprentice, would be afraid that he would already be a junior magician, but Merlin could only be regarded as a magic apprentice, and it was the worst kind.

"We went back and the food was almost enough and needed to be replenished. Although he was disappointed, Feleg still said mildly, it was definitely the right choice not to accept her as a magic apprentice at the beginning, even if she worked hard, her future achievements would not be very high.

Merlin had been here for more than a year, and had never seen anyone else except the occasional sight of herself, which was a little too cruel for a girl who was not yet twenty years old.

Merlin lowered his head and began to pack his things, in fact, there was nothing to tidy up, she still needed to return here to continue her cultivation in the future, the tent and bed did not need to be taken away, and the food was almost consumed, except for a few pieces of elemental ore on her hand, that is, the chain mail that Feleg gave her on her body and a magic wand that could be used as a spear.

When there were still more than a dozen kilometers to the town of Kuka, Feleg felt that something was wrong, and along the way he had already seen four grain convoys, each with dozens of carts, and it was definitely not the harvest season.

"It's weird. Feleg muttered to himself.

"Probably...... There may be a war. Merlin behind her whispered, she was a little afraid of Feleg, she knew very well that her magical talent was too poor, and this little teacher didn't like her at all. However, she was still very grateful to Feleg, no one but him was willing to take her as an apprentice magician, although Feleg also did not agree to accept her, but he had been helping him become a magician.

"Oh?" Feleg glanced back at Merlin, pondered for a moment and asked, "Why do you say that?" "In terms of age, he is not as good as Merlin, and in terms of knowledge, Merlin is the daughter of the Grand Duke.

"It's not harvest season, there are a lot of grain trucks, and as soon as the direction comes, I can see the signs of the Principality of Teresa's infantry guild on several vehicles. Merlin whispered.

"So, our principality is at war with other countries?" Feleg left his hometown with Becca at the age of six, except for half a year in the Imperial Academy of Magic, the rest of the time was spent in the Demon Forest, not to mention Merlin, the eldest duke's son-in-law, even ordinary people are more knowledgeable than him, of course, this insight refers to common sense, not magical knowledge.

"No, it should be the allies of the empire or the Duchy of Deresa who are going to fight, and the Duchy of Deresa is rich in grain. Merlin reminded that the duke's daughter-in-law was not very talented in magic, but she was a very intelligent woman.

"Well, there is some truth, you will know it when you get home. At the urging of Feleg, in a matter of moments, we arrived at the home of the town of Kulin, and with the hurricane's footsteps, the ten miles were nothing at all.

Outside the chain mail, wearing a magic robe depicting the Blizzard magic array, and a hurricane that was exactly the same as the family crest, Feleg was able to enter the door of his house smoothly, and was not almost turned away like the last time.

"Third brother, are you back?" The first to rush out was Jenny, the little princess of the Landis family.

"Jenny, what about Mom and Dad, and what's going on in our principality?" Feleg asked eagerly, jumping off the hurricane.

"It seems to be a notice from the Empire, and they don't tell me what it is. Jenny seemed very unhappy, but she was still very happy to meet her idol, the great magician third brother.

Before dinner, Feleg met his parents after a busy day, they were going to help his in-laws, Lord Virgin, as the mayor of the town, there were too many things to be busy during this time, and his only son, who went to Feleg's territory, went with his daughter-in-law and two brothers-in-law, and as a result, the number of people he could rely on was reduced by half, and he had to ask two young in-laws to help.

"Two months ago, the town of Kuka received a notice from the Empire, requiring our Duchy of Deland to enter the third level of combat readiness, and at the same time issued the task of supplying military food, and we have been busy with military food during this time. Feleg, you know, the specialty of our Duchy of Deland is grain, and although the grain production around Kuka Town is not high, it is still much higher than that of other kingdoms and principalities. "It was Lord Fergis who had heard the news of Feleg's return, and had returned with the Resnos.

"Level 3 combat readiness?, do we have to send troops in the Duchy of Deresa?" asked Feleg, he knew that the Duchy of Deland was rich in grain, but he really didn't know the army of the Duchy, only that there was an infantry station in Kuka Town, and there were two hundred infantry stationed in it.

"It is very likely that troops will be sent, but the possibility of going to the battlefield is extremely low, you must know that the two empires adjacent to our empire are not strong, and the target of this war is the Mayan Empire, which ranks seventh in the East Continent of the Gods. Lord Virgin said.

Feleg quickly found information about the Mayan Empire in his mind: ranked seventh, with an area of twelve million square kilometers, eighth

It has a population of 100 million, nine kingdoms, 122 principalities, 40 provinces, 220 cities, and a population of 480 million. In terms of overall strength, the Mayan Empire was much weaker than the Oakland Empire, and it was not an opponent at all, so how could there be a war?

"Even if it is necessary for our principality to send troops, it should be used as a logistics force. Our Duchy of Deresa has only 8,000 permanent soldiers, and the number of troops is too small, except for the relatively good equipment, there is almost no combat effectiveness, after all, we have not experienced a war for more than a hundred years. Lord Furges continued.

Feleg nodded, the Duchy of Deresa has a population of only three million, and several neighboring countries around it are allies of the empire, and the relationship is not bad. The situation in the country is also very good, there are almost no thieves and bandits, there is no need for too many troops at all, plus there has been no baptism of war for more than a hundred years, such an army really has no combat effectiveness.

However, it is precisely because of such good conditions that the principality is rich in grain, and there is iron ore in it, so the equipment of the troops is quite good, compared with several neighboring countries.

If war really comes, with the strength of the Duchy of Dereland, it can collect no less than 50,000 troops in a short period of time, and at the same time come up with corresponding sophisticated equipment, but someone has equipment, which does not mean that there is combat effectiveness, even if there is no war, Feleg is very clear about this.

"What is the reason for the war?" This is what Feleg is most curious about, with the strength of the Mayan Empire, it should not be the first to provoke a war, Emperor Wu Tian is said to be a famous monarch with great talents, but nearly 20 million square kilometers of land is enough for him to be busy, even if he wants to open up the territory, there are too many blank lands in the entire Continent of Gods to occupy, and there is no need to start a war at all.
