5. Foothold Chapter 101 Queen Sofia
Cris, who learned of the importance of the matter, looked at the mercenaries and adventurers over there, and did not notice that they had just spoken, so he used the Wind Signal Technique to say to Donald, "Blue Gold?
Seeing Donald nodding slightly, there was a surprise in Chris's eyes, no one knew the importance and value of a magical metal deposit better than a mage.
He then asked, "What are you going to do?"
Donald didn't answer with a teleportation spell, and now using a small spell is also a burden on his mental state. I saw him call Uther, and commanded: "The terrain here is good, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the place is also wide, after clearing it out, it is completely possible to build one or two manors, if I can completely occupy this place, I will report to the Council of Nobles and His Majesty the King, and give you this place as a fief in the name of opening up the territory, so that you can become a real hereditary knight." Donald deliberately didn't lower his voice, and the adventurers and mercenaries who were resting on the other side heard what was said. Many adventurers screamed.
A knight's territory! Many of them are strong enough to meet the standard, but they have not undergone orthodox knightly education and cannot pass the knight assessment. When I was young, I also dreamed of being a knight, hoping to become a respected knight, and it was best to be able to obtain a territory of my own.
Among them, several civilian adventurers with bronze strength felt the deepest. Desperately cultivating himself into a bronze powerhouse, but if he can't pass the knight assessment, he can't be recognized by the nobles, at most he can only join the nobles as a thug, a guard, or join the army to seek a path to promotion.
There are also some bronze powerhouses who are not willing to sink here, so they will choose to continue to embark on the path of adventurers, hone their strength, and strive to become a silver powerhouse one day, so that even if they do not pass the knight assessment, they can easily obtain their own status. There is no shortage of precedents for such situations, and one of the three silver powerhouses in North County, the commander of the garrison of Boulder City, and the Grand Knight Captain Sir Brewster is their best example.
Ignoring the adventurers' reactions, Donald continued: "I have left two griffons to guard inside, and I shouldn't have to worry about being occupied by demonic beasts in the short term!
"At your command, my master!"
Uther's spirit Hún has been branded by Donald since he was created, and he will be absolutely loyal to his master, regardless of whether Donald gives him the treatment and rewards he deserves.
In doing so, Donald was actually planning to turn this place into a secret stronghold, and his majesty would mine the mineral deposits inside. After all, this place is far away from his territory, if the news of the Blue Gold Demon Mine spreads, then there will inevitably be other nobles to compete with him for this mine, and the Celt royal family will definitely not let it go, maybe they want to eat it all.
Therefore, the secrecy of the Blue Gold Demon Mine is more important, so Donald does not intend to let outsiders contact this matter.
It would be fitting to make this a new realm of the kingdom and give it to Uther. Not only can you keep the secrets of the mineral deposits here, but you can also fight for an extra territory for yourself, which is a plan to kill two birds with one stone.
Those great nobles will not compete with them for this remote and wild land, and those who have the heart to fight do not have that strength.
The only obstacle is Viscount Macbeth, but he is on the line of the royal capital, with Catherine in it, and the queen behind him, and not surprisingly, the Ansel family will also support him in the royal capital, so there is a ninety percent certainty that this thing can be done!
As long as this place officially becomes the fief of Uther, it will belong to the territory of the Merlina family, and at that time, no one will be able to mine the blue gold deposits, at least on the surface, no one will dare to subvert the laws of the kingdom.
However, Donald doesn't seem to be too flamboyant, wealth is not white, and making a lot of money in a muffled voice is the royal way to settle down in this other world.
Back in Makusè Town, William immediately distributed the rewards of all the adventurers and mercenaries who participated in the mission one by one according to the counted merits.
Those who received the reward were overjoyed.
In addition to the more than two dozen ogres solved by Donald in a tornado, among the remaining ogres, the teams of the two mercenary groups each killed three bronze strength male xìng ogres, and their captain and several bronze powerhouses also teamed up to get rid of the guards of the six ogre leaders, and killed the ogre wizards, and the remaining dozen or so were Chris and Murray, Diner, What the four mages of Russell solved, don't look at Chris's only a few shots lightly, but he killed the most ogres besides Donald.
As for the other adventurers whose strength is at the Black Iron Rank, only two groups of people are lucky, and they can also get an extra hundred gold soles for besieging and killing two weaker female xìng ogres respectively.
However, it doesn't feel unfair to these adventurers who don't have other rewards, because just the three flasks from the previous one are already a big gain.
The high-level spell equipment promised before, because the two mercenary group squads performed very well, so Donald decided to be fair and integrate the merits of their two teams, and each team was rewarded with a spell equipment.
Donald took out a few magic items of the same level for the two captains to choose from, and finally the Bloodstone Mercenary Group chose the Ogre Gauntlet that appeared in the last auction, while the North Wind Mercenary Group chose the Shadow Trench Coat that gave the user the ability to shadow at night.
In Donald's opinion, these two pieces of equipment are just ordinary equipment that Huā Ferkinthor can exchange, but this kind of magic equipment that can be used for a long time is an extremely precious and rare item for mercenaries like them.
Since the items such as the sale of potions at the cost price promised by Donald had not yet been prepared, the adventurers and the two teams of mercenaries who had received the rewards planned to stay in Dalaran for a while.
In order to solve this ogre tribe, Donald has paid a total of almost 3,000 gold soles, but even if it is ten times more, Donald will pay happily without blinking.
Because the harvest of a Magical Metal Deposit, even if it contains auxiliary materials of little value, is at least as valuable as the same amount of silver ore.
What's more, this is still a rare and precious deposit of blue-veined magic gold, and if the reserves are abundant, it is not impossible to change the territory of a principality to a mage-dominated kingdom like Bōlin and Gardre!
So without further ado, Donald planned to fly to the royal capital to meet the countess in person.
Before teleporting to the valley of the ogre's nest, two arrow towers were created at the mouth of the valley to guard the exit, and two ancient guardians were summoned to hide in the form of ancient trees, and then Donald returned to the territory in a griffin, explained to William and others, and flew to Kosovo in an airship.
Originally, he planned to tell the countess about the matter, and after letting her prepare in advance, she would stay overnight and leave. There are a lot of affairs in the territory, especially the magic mines in the Ogre's Lair, which are still waiting for him to deal with!
However, when he arrived at the royal capital before nightfall, and met Kessel at the appointed place, he heard her say, "Donald, my little heart, Her Majesty wants to see you!"
"Her Majesty wants to see me?"
Donald was stunned when he heard this.
"Her Majesty didn't say why?,...
Catherine didn't explain, just smiled: "You will know when you see Your Majesty!"
"Really?"
Donald pounced, and the countess hurriedly turned and ran away, leaving behind a laugh like a silver bell.
However, with Donald's skill, where the countess was an opponent, she was caught in her arms in three or two steps, and deliberately tickled her until the beauty begged for mercy loudly, which revealed Her Majesty's purpose.
It turned out that the mother-in-law wanted to see her son-in-law!
After listening to what the countess said, Donald immediately understood what the queen meant. Queen Sofia and Catherine have always been sisters, and Catherine is a few years older, so it can be said that Catherine is the only relative and elder in Selt.
It's not a bad thing to want to meet your prospective son-in-law with such an identity.
Donald, having figured it out, followed Catherine into the court carriage and turned to the palace.
After arriving at the palace, it was already dark, and magic crystal lamps were lit up everywhere in the palace. The already magnificent palace complex is decorated like a temple of the gods in a dream.
Although they all use blank crystals with little energy, just these large and small magic crystal lamps consume thousands of gold soles in the palace every year, and some local nobles who are struggling to live cannot earn this money in a year.
After entering the inner palace and passing through several palaces, Catherine led Donald to the queen's palace.
For them, Her Majesty Queen Celt, Donald had met more than once.
They had met twice at His Majesty's side during the award ceremony and the celebration banquet, but the first two times had been in public, and this was the first time they had interacted with each other in close proximity.
So Donald officially saluted this queen of the country.
The queen did not speak, but looked at Donald with a pair of beautiful eyes like water.
Sofia Cardoch, who is nearly forty years old, can't see her old age at all, her beauty is still the same, time seems to have stopped in her ten years ago, mature charm with amazing yòuhuò power, if you change to a young man in her teens, I'm afraid that just looking at these few glances will be overwhelming.
Donald raised his head and looked at His Majesty, his face was calm, and he did not make any cowardly expression, which made the queen very satisfied, and proved that Donald should be a person of good character and integrity.
Then the beautiful Queen Sofia smiled and said, "No need to be polite! Catherine is like my sister, don't bully her, or I won't be able to spare you!" The queen's smile was as pleasing to the eye as if a hundred flowers were blooming in spring, and Donald put down his restraint and looked at the woman beside him and smiled: "I can't hurt her, how can I bully her!" The defense of men and women in this world is not as serious as in the Ming and Qing dynasties in the previous life, otherwise in this way, when you summon a young man at night, a sī pass sin can cause the queen to die.
"Yes, I've heard that many noble families in the royal capital are planning to marry their daughters to you!" Seeing that the queen is smiling god sè, even Donald's cheeks are a little unbearable.
replied a little embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, you are joking, other people's plans are their own ideas, I just need to be myself!"
Satisfied with Donald's ambiguous answer, Sofia put away her joking tone and said, "I want to see you this time for two reasons, and I want to confirm your character for a while, which I already know in my heart." The second point is to consult with you about your future with Catherine!" Donald immediately focused on what the queen had to say. @。
