Master Grim Belen, who is proficient in illusions and spells, is a central figure in Svernebri, where underground gnomes are predominant, and this time he came to Riverrun not only to be invited by "Lord Rez" to set up a large illusion circle for war, but also to lay a trade network and serve as an outpost for the large commercial interests of the Seven Cities Alliance in the Dark Regions.

The disappearance of such a key person in Riverrun City for no reason has already alarmed Orrick Tyrese, who is in charge of daily government affairs, and he can still hold his breath and order the patrol led by the family knight to secretly search for it, and make a loose response on the outside and tight on the inside.

Since Lu Bin went to Wuthering Heights to meet with Lord Nell Austin in order to deal with the slave hunters in Blackwater, such a short period of time happened, so that the other members of the council chamber, including the druid master Legolas Deerhelm, couldn't help but doubt Oric Tyrese's abilities.

When the "Lord Rez" returned to Riverrun City the next morning and learned about it for the first time, Oric Tyrese was originally a little uneasy, but Lu Bin didn't say anything, and directly opened the Book of Traveling Mages and scanned Riverrun, the core area of the Pioneer Realm, from the inside to the outside.

"Found it!"

Lu Bin's words relieved all those in the know, and then they saw the "Lord Reiz" on both sides with their backs and unhurriedly returned to the ground from the "water elevator".

Under the gaze of Orik Tyrese, the patrol members followed Lu Bin's footsteps to the first avenue in the central area of Riverrun, and found a bearded man with a hangover on the sign of foam wine glasses hanging at the door, and the dwarf-run Copper Hammer Tavern.

"Splash water!"

Lu Bin's words had always been concise and to the point, and the patrol members immediately reacted, picked up the bucket at the door of the tavern, and poured it towards the middle-aged man who was dragged out of the adventurer's outfit.

The cold well water was poured on the man's head and face, and the crystal water splashed in all directions, perhaps because he drank too much, and he didn't wake up.

Lu Bin walked over without saying a word, reached out and grabbed the collar of the bearded man, and wrung a handful of water wetly, at this moment the other party burped, and the sour smell suddenly gushed out.

The members of the patrol who were present thought that "Lord Rez" would definitely be furious, but only to see him frown, his right hand raised in the air, and then he opened his bow left and right and slapped him unhurriedly.

The early risers, passers-by, and merchants in the neighborhood didn't know what was going on, but they all knew the true "identity" of the beater, and they stayed nearby and watched curiously.

Lu Bin immediately increased the intensity of the slap with his right hand, fortunately, when he was employed as a "rune blacksmith", he repeatedly swung the hammer thousands of times, and he had already trained his arm strength to be not weak, and now he used it, it was called a pleasure!

At the same time, the members of the patrol team present also discovered the mystery, after all, with the power of ordinary people's hands, even a thick-skinned ogre should have a swollen face now, but the big man in the adventurer's costume didn't have anything at all.

"The true identity of this person can't be the missing underground dwarf master!"

Lu Bin's right hand has multiple sigils, even if it doesn't cost mana to excite, this hand is a bit special, after he slapped him hard dozens of times, the middle-aged adventurer who was caught by him with one hand finally changed a little.

The surface of his body rippled like ripples on the surface of the water, and then the purple illusionary light suddenly exploded, revealing Grim Belen, who was "perfect" in disguise.

"Don't ...... Stop fighting, Your Excellency, I've woken up. ”

Lu Bin stood up and let go of the collar of the underground dwarf with his left hand: "You used illusion to disguise your identity and get drunk at the dwarf tavern, but you forgot to change back, which gave us a big problem." ”

Feeling a slight tingling pain in his right hand, Lu Bin gently rubbed the back of his reddened palm: "I hope that next time Swelnebrie City can send a self-disciplined, rigorous, loyal to his duties, and will not cause trouble for his master." For now, you'd better stay under my nose!After all, there aren't many people in Riverrun who can see through your illusion disguise other than me, esteemed Master Belen. ”

The underground dwarf had not woken up from a hangover, but when he heard the words of "Lord Rez", his dizzy mind was half cleared in an instant, and he had already tasted the sweetness of an errand like going to Riverrun, and he must not give it to others, especially his colleagues in the joint meeting.

Grim Belen also knew that "Lord Rez" was a little angry, for the sake of long-term cooperation, but also for his own position, he would not become a joke or part of the conversation because of the rumors that this incident would be spread, he had to follow closely behind "Lord Rez", hoping to redeem the bad impression with words.

Whether it was the members of the patrol or the onlookers nearby, they couldn't help but laugh when they saw the master of the underground dwarfs, following the "Lord Rez" with staggering steps, their noble status and funny movements.

There was a joyous atmosphere in the air, just like a wonderful clown show at the door of the Copperhammer Tavern.

A small storm is over, and the "cruel words" thrown by Lu Bin are not without effect, squeezing out the defensive spell of "Removing the Curse" from Master Grim Belen's hands, and he intends to try to make some talismans based on this, and prepare for the promotion of "Rune Blacksmith" by the way.

The underground gnomes said a lot of good things, and finally let the "Lord Rez" dissipate, of course, and paid a lot of costs, such as the "Advanced Phantom Technique" just now, because it can be used on itself, to a certain extent of camouflage, it is naturally the result of Master Grim Belen's own improvement.

However, in order to maintain their position, the underground gnomes are willing to share their secrets with the "legendary mage", the only condition is that they must not teach them to a third party, and swear in the name of the gods.

Lu Bin was a little surprised, but in order to learn this "advanced illusion technique", he had to use the sacred oath as a constraint, and he chose His Royal Highness Mostlin of the elven god line, this wandering god also known as the lone wolf, witnessed his oath with the former guardian of Elondale, and can be regarded as an acquaintance.

Grim Belen was pleasantly surprised by this, he didn't expect to find out the divine source behind the "legendary mage" Lord Reze so quickly, he is an underground dwarf who knows a lot about the elven god system, and knows that His Royal Highness Mostlin has the "fierce elf" priesthood, which may have something to do with his chaotic neutrality and inclination towards the chaotic and good camp.

"According to what I know about the people of Riverrun, the half-elves who make up thirty percent of the number are very united, and they are a united race with the vulgarity and barbarism of humans, but they are overshadowed by the grace of the innate elves. Could it be that His Highness Mostlin wants to get involved in the priesthood of the 'half-elves'?"

Grim Belen put away his thoughts and swore by His Highness Gar Shining Gold, the main god of the dwarf god system, rather than the guardian god of the underground gnomes, Colladren ̇ Slippery, after all, judging from his penchant for playing tricks, this master illusionist is more inclined to the main god of the dwarf clan.

After the two swore an oath in the name of the gods, Grim Belen stumbled upon the secret of the "Lord Rez" and happily handed over the secret of the "High Illusion".

Lu Bin tried several times without success, and couldn't help but shake his head, saying that he didn't have much talent in illusion, this kind of rhetoric made the underground dwarf master very happy, and he felt that he had made a profitable deal.

The farewell ceremony to Grim Belen was very simple, Lu Bin promised that no one else would take his place as his permanent envoy, and sent two heavily armed "selfless servants" to escort him back to Svernebri in the dark region of Ironforge Castle.

Riverrun slowly and steadily expanded, and the slave hunters in Blackwater trembled like frightened guinea fowls, afraid to bare their fangs at the fledgling but powerful Frontier Realm.

Time flies, and imperceptibly winter turns to spring, and Rushing City, under the leadership of Lu Bin, begins to divide the promised territory outside the city, that is, on the vast south bank.

In particular, the backbone of the territory, the knights' territories and manors were personally given by the "Lord Rez", which even Orrick Tyrese did not dare to fight.

After all, the inner city of Riverrun began to lay the foundation of the mage tower, which frightened everyone in the know, and it was not just one, but at the same time, the arcane mage tower and the nature mage tower were built, and "Reze Ryan" and "Legolas Deer Helm" were stationed respectively.

The Druid Master was very interested in this, and even contributed the "Earth Ring" to this end, which can summon the "Giant Earth Elemental", which is slightly inferior to the quarry colossus, and actively participate in the construction of his own mage tower.

As for the territory outside the city, the layout of farms and villages is in charge of Lu Bin, who is proficient in architectural design and planning.

On a standard map of 1:100, the huge territory of the staking area totals 60 square kilometers, with nearly 5,000 hectares of complex terrain such as hills, forests, and valleys, and about 1,000 hectares of farmland that can be reclaimed, which can support two medium villages (500 people) and six small farms (50-80 people).

As for the knights' manors or knights' territories, they are arranged in dangerous positions, and how to reclaim and pioneer the land will have to test the ability of these knights.

In short, Lu Bin just said that he made a plan according to the different situations of the territory, and relied on his own strength to solve the problems that arose, and the knight was responsible for protecting the safety of the people, and everyone worked together to make the pioneer territory prosperous.

Just as the officials of Riverrun City fulfilled the oath they had made and divided the fields among all the subjects, the slave hunters, who had been immobile for a long time and were almost forgotten, tentatively appeared near the Pioneer Territory.

In the council chamber, Chief Archon Oryk Tyrese was a little worried about such dangerous signals, and unceremoniously pointed out that the slave hunters did not attack Riverrun in the cold winter season, and were completely in a relatively weak position, and now it was the critical juncture of spring ploughing, and Riverrun, with its clenched fists, had to stretch out its fingers with little protection, and was very vulnerable to attack.

Lu Bin disagreed: "Attack is the best means of defense, and it is our responsibility to exterminate the servants of these anti-abolitionist interest groups outside the territory." In comparison, with the flesh and blood of these people, our pioneer territory will be more fertile, and we will have a good harvest this summer. ”

The optimistic and positive attitude of Lord Rez is infectious, and with the two mage towers that are about to be completed, and the combination of a "legendary mage" and a "druid master", I believe that any enemy will retreat.

Even if a few die-hards are lucky, the huge pioneer territory is not only charming, but also a feng shui treasure for killing people and burying corpses.
