Ten days have passed since the raid on Castelgate.

Iroh was still lying on the high platform in the castle hall, playing with a few exquisite rubies, and his indifferent eyes swept over the Raja under the high platform.

"Great Lord," the goblin leader respectfully placed a spatial reserve bracelet in front of Ello's eyes, "this is the first batch of resources sent by the Falkenridge Kingdom. ”

Now Raja is worshipping this dragon more and more, not only has great strength, but also casually made a covenant with a kingdom, in exchange for a large number of resources, and even slaughtered a human town some time ago.

Although the dragons divided the main spoils, the goblins also had a bite to drink: Ello, with the help of Bella, looted all the food and condiments in the town, and dismantled the few surviving buildings into materials and gave them all to the goblins of Hope.

Goblins and treasures have no chance, but resources such as food and building materials are not much more important to them than treasures, which is another kind of "taking what you need".

"Well, take what you need, and leave the rest where it is. ”

Iroh's mental strength reached out to the bracelet and instantly counted the contents - Bella did keep her promise, bringing in a considerable sum of food and building materials, as well as the books she had requested. It may be that Falkenridge himself is not in a good situation, so he does not have a lot of treasures.

Iroh didn't worry about the treasure at all, in fact, he was already the least lacking in treasure in a sense. And just a few days ago, a small group of goblins and lizardmen came to the border, a rabble of goblins and lizardmen. They had wanted to ransack the town of Hope, but they were frightened by the smell of Hilcut.

Iroh has always welcomed the kind of labor delivery. So with Shilkat and Raja singing white-faced and red-faced, twenty goblins and fifteen lizardmen surrendered without any resistance.

Speaking of minions, we have to mention the development of the Icourtt Valley today.

Ten days ago, after the goblins obtained a large amount of supplies, the development speed of the town of Hope has suddenly increased a notch, and this morning Iroh has seen that the town's walls have been completed. Although it can't be compared to Castelgate, it can be regarded as presentable.

In addition, after subduing the team of goblins and lizardmen, the number of minions of the Tokamak faction officially exceeded the fifty mark - the goblins were naturally still Ello's, and the lizardmen were divided between the brothers Vis and Shilkat.

In contrast, Karamank was more stable, and Iroh had also talked to the blue dragon, "I hate humanoids, and ferocious bats and giant ants are much better...... Well, at least I'm happy with the mutant scorpions. ”

Karamank said with a look of disdain.

The young blue dragon had also managed to find a new lair on the western edge of the Icourt Valley a few days ago, and although he hadn't been able to find his favorite storm-prone area, a cave at a high altitude would have been fine.

As for the mutant scorpion?

Those were the original owners of the cave, and now the servants and pets of Karamank.

In terms of faith, Iroh was also pleased to find that several of the dozens of goblins who had originally settled had now become true believers.

True believers provide a lot more faith points every day than shallow believers. Before, Iroh had already spent almost all the points of faith, and in the past ten days, he has added nearly two hundred points, which is undoubtedly inseparable from the true believers.

Since we talk about faith, we can't fail to mention the reason why Karamank came to this world, that is, the special commodity in the contract.

It's just that now, the description of that product has changed a little.

"Random Dragon's Follower Summoning (1/6): Summons a random dragon, and the summoner needs to take it by himself. The dragon's strength will be adjusted according to the summoner's own strength, and the cost of each summon will increase. This summoning costs 1,000 faith points. ”

Through the last summoning, Iroh roughly figured out a little pattern. This dragon summon, the consumption of each summon will increase significantly, and the strength of the dragon summoned each time is also based on Ello's own strength, and the summoning can only be carried out up to six times.

Like Karamank, who was summoned for the first time, it would not be easy to defeat Arlo if he didn't take off the pendant.

Combined with this information, Iroh realized that he should not rush to the next summon.

First, the consumption of each summon is sharply increased, and secondly, the strength of the summoned dragons is related to itself, that is, Iroh can wait for himself to become stronger before summoning the dragon!

With the current rate of collecting faith points, if you really want to accumulate enough 1,000 points, you can do it in less than two months. But there is no doubt that the two-month-old Iroh will not be much stronger than today, which means that the summoned dragon will not be much stronger than Karamank.

That's not going to work.

Although strictly speaking, Karamank can't be considered weak, at least his strength is considered the best among the young dragons, but he can't meet Iroh's requirements - because the dragon that Iroh really needs must at least be a young dragon who has completed the third awakening.

Only from the young dragon will the dragon's strength gradually take shape!

In addition, in the bracelet, there is a handwritten letter from Bella.

After a little flipping, Iroh suddenly understood what Bella meant.

She had already released the news as she had requested. Sure enough, although the Principality of Stasi immediately expressed its protest and indignation, it did not take any real action - if the guards of the Hurricane Fortress were also strengthened.

In any case, Castelgate is located in a disputed area on the border between the two countries, and although it nominally belongs to the Duchy of Stassy, it is not unacceptable for Archduke Jon to lose it. Because his main purpose is to use the town as an early warning, the real line of defense of the principality lies in the Hurricane Fortress.

What's more, now he has to concentrate on dealing with the relationship between the principality and the two empires, and he can't take care of this matter.

Bella's letter presumably said that she wanted Iroh to accept the title of a nobleman granted by Falkenridge, and then take the opportunity to declare the area of the Icourt Valley as her own territory.

To put it bluntly, Icourt's Valley is to Falkenridge what Castelgate is to Stasi.

Iroh stood up and watched Raja retreat respectfully, with a plan for the future in mind.

First of all, Hope Town must be the focus, and he intends to start with the goblins and gather an army of his own. Iroh is very clear about his goal: if he wants to find his true background, he is afraid that it is impossible to do it without a strong enough strength as a foundation. However, the dragons themselves are different from those humanoids, and the speed of ascension is very slow, so if you want to become stronger in a short period of time, you can only rely on the power of your minions!

Secondly, believers also need to be cultivated, although the faith exchange contract cannot be relied on too much, but it cannot be completely ignored, at least it is a good idea to exchange it for resources to expand the army.

Eloh intends to raise devout believers as quickly as possible, as a devout believer can contribute at least fifty faith points per day - ten times more than true believers. Fortunately, the most difficult period has passed, and with the help of Raja, Ailo is confident that he will bring out a large number of devout believers with his ideas.

He knew that the first three levels of the faith hierarchy could be attained in this almost brainwashing method, and that the last two levels—fanatics and disciples—were something that needed to be considered later.

Finally, it seems that it is also time to reach out to the society of people.

Elo didn't want to be a great demon king waiting in the castle for the brave to defeat, and since he wanted to gain a place in this chaotic world, it was the most foolish decision not to contact those intelligent races at all.

Look at today's metal dragons and colored dragons, the former is close to people, the latter is resistant to people, and the result?

The metal dragons have turned one of the four empires into their own paradise, while the colored dragons can only keep a low profile in their own territory. Despite the rejection of those lowly creatures in his heart, Iroh must also admit that the general trend of this era is like this, and he is obviously far from having the strength to compete with the general trend.

All in all, Bella's letter is definitely a great opportunity.

Realizing this, Iroh suddenly showed a strange smile, and then a short intricate incantation was softly chanted.

The next moment, his figure suddenly changed in the light that lit up, and his body, which was originally very huge, was rapidly shrinking, and more precisely, after the light finally disappeared, a human appeared in place!

This is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, with a fair complexion like jade, and beautiful eyebrows. There are thousands of strands of hair hanging down to the ground on the slight side head. As his eyes slowly opened, there was no doubt that he was calm with a little indifference.

The only thing that hasn't changed is the golden pendant on his chest.

This is an advanced use of Transfiguration, and the last time Iroh didn't tell Bella the truth. Because in essence, they still use each other's relationship, and if they can expose less of their hole cards, they will be less exposed, and Iroh believes that not only himself, but also Bella.

Open your own carry-on storage and change into a grey outfit. After a while, Iroh condensed a water mirror to look at his image, and nodded with satisfaction—although this body was ugly, it should be reasonable from a human aesthetic point of view.

Going to Falkenridge is bound to be low-key, if you go directly in dragon form, maybe others will easily connect a series of recent events, and you will be exposed to the eyes of the metal dragons.

This was not what Iroh had expected. He is not afraid to fight strong enemies, but he also does not ask for trouble.

That's why he made an exception this time and used the weak image that he originally looked down on.

Barrington ...... I wonder what kind of surprises await you in that city......
