Chapter 1 The Avenue of Fortune

After a lapse of March, the beacon of time in the bluewater oasis is lit up again. Richard brought his half-sister Daimei, as well as fifty knights and freedom fighters between the ages of ten and twelve, to the Pharo plane. In addition to this, he also brought three huge magic sealing chests, which were filled with various ores and magic materials.

After meeting with the followers stationed here, Richard had the soldiers deliver the supplies to the warehouse, then returned to his command room, where he gathered all the important men of his side.

Ray used holographic projection to create a map that would allow people to visualize the situation in the Bloodstained Lands and several nearby areas.

For the past three months, Reilly has been constantly attacking the caravans and strongholds of the Red Cossacks, which directly led to the latter abandoning business near the Blue Water Oasis.

"It is said that they are gathering forces for a decisive battle with us. Reilly said with a smile.

"How's my territory?" asked Richard.

"The castle has been built, and the workers are digging the moat. Reilly shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't think you need to focus on such a small thing right now, though. ”

"Is the construction of the territory also a trivial matter?" Richard looked at Reilly with interest and asked, "So, is there anything important that I need to deal with now?"

"Yes!" said Reilly, drawing a route on the map that ran through the bloodstained lands.

Richard's pupils shrank and he said, "You're going to build a path to the Pale Heights?"

"That's right!" said Reilly, smiling, "Baron Fontaine has accepted my invitation, and Amman and Tifman need you to come and visit in person." ”

Richard frowned and said, "Is our army enough?"

"Enough elite troops, cannon fodder can be asked for by others. ”

"Others, you mean Amman?"

"It could be more people. Reilly said meaningfully.

Richard stood up and said, "Go and inform Amman, Tiffman, and Louvre, that I have come back and want to invite them to dinner." ”

After the followers went out, Richard took out a drawing and spread it on the table: "You come and see this." ”

At a glance, Reilly knew that it was a complete construction drawing, with all the elements that made up the structure, and that the builder would be able to follow it if he was capable enough.

"Even the encrypted part is marked?" Reilly looked at Richard in surprise and asked, "Where did you get this?"

Clever constructors will insert some useless calculation formulas into the functional modules of the magic array, turning them into another functional module, so as to prevent others from copying their own works. This technique is often used in non-standard constructions that are masterpieces.

"If someone else gives it, the other party wants to get the finished product as soon as possible. ”

Reilly nodded and continued looking at the drawings. This construct absorbs the user's life force, increases their attack speed, and has effects such as 'Tear', 'Bleed', 'Necrosis', and 'Flesh Burst'.

"This magic array is very interesting. Rayleigh pointed to a magic circle on the map and said, "Its existence allows this structure to be stacked with its own kind, thus exerting great power. ”

Richard nodded and said, "I've never seen a magic array so difficult to draw on any of the third-order standard builds. ”

"Is this going to be hard for you?" said Reilly, a surprised expression.

Richard rolled his eyes and said, "I don't have enough magic. The implication is that the perverted requirements of this magic array in terms of accuracy are not difficult for him.

"What do you mean......"

"I want to ask you to make this 'life annihilation'. ”

"The other party is in a hurry?"

"The sooner the better. Richard said solemnly: "I hope to have a good relationship with White Night." ”

"The next time you go back, you'll be able to deliver. Reilly nodded, jotting down the name "White Night".

After the meeting ended, Richard sent a letter to all the powerful nobles who were close to the Bloodstained Land, inviting them to come to the Bluewater Oasis to discuss a major matter:

Fortune Avenue Project!

The plan is to send a large number of cannon fodder from the major nobles and merchant groups, and form an army with the elite knights of Richard and Reilly, to open a passage from east to west, through the entire bloodstained land, and finally reach the pale highlands in the northwest, establish contact with the dwarves living there, and create a road of wealth flowing with gold!

If this plan succeeds, the horse bandits, thieves and aliens on the road will be devastated. At the same time, the interests of the Iron Triangle Empire will also be affected. In the past, small caravans bypassed the dangerous Bloodstained Lands and diverted to the Iron Triangle Empire. Although this will make the walking route longer and pay a lot of taxes, it is much better than losing people and goods.

Richard's list of invitations was wide-ranging, including even Viscount Shim.

―――――――――― below is dinner time――――――――――

Today's meal is very meaningful, and the people who can sit at the table are all friends. In addition to Billier, the miner he saw last time, Amman and Tiffman also brought two new faces. Each of them represents a large merchant group, and they are all new forces that have risen in recent times.

The highest-ranking Luofu was invited to the first place by everyone, and on his left and right sat Lord Moon Bear and Richard respectively. However, everyone knows that the real protagonist today is Richard, and the second male is Reilly next to him.

Amman and the others were already familiar with Richard, and they all knew that the dinner was actually the equivalent of a private auction.

After eating, Richard asked the waiter to clean up the food and drinks, and then said with a smile: "Friends, I have spent the past three months in the teacher's half-plane......"

Hearing this, everyone was not calm. Although everyone has long guessed, this is the first time that Richard has identified his teacher. In Faro, the patent of the legendary powerhouse of the half-plane.

Then, Reilly also broke the very shocking news: "Ladies and gentlemen, after discussion, our Bracada School has decided to support a strong man to ascend the throne and become the guardian of Faro. ”

Amman was shocked: "You mean the new god ......" Before he could finish speaking, he covered his mouth.

Richard had to raise his hand to silence the crowd.

"When we came back this time, we brought a batch of equipment, I don't know if everyone is interested. Richard took out an enchanted longsword and placed it on the table: "First, let's take a look at this longsword." Don't get me wrong, it's just a sample. ”

The long sword was passed around in everyone's hands, and everyone looked at it very carefully. When the sword returned to Richard's face, everyone's eyes fell on the boy, waiting for his answer.

"A long sword made of Rafi's fine iron, the enchantment effect is sharp and armor-piercing. Richard's words confirmed most people's speculations. This batch of longswords is fully worthy of the core members of the Duke-level Knights, or the personal guards of the earl or even the marquis. In the Faro plane, Elite weapons are rarely in circulation. With the exception of the weapon workshops of the royal family and some of the great nobles, it is difficult to find a large number of magicians to enchant equipment.

Tiffman was the first to speak: "Each long sword is three thousand gold coins, and you need as many as you want." ”

"Okay, that's the price. Richard nodded and said, "I brought five hundred enchanted swords. ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and all the long swords were divided in an instant.

The swords were all produced in Rayleigh's alchemy factory, and Richard exchanged ore and magic crystals for finished products, which cost no more than a thousand gold coins each.

Richard then went on a shopping spree, buying enough weapons, shields, and armor to arm thousands of men, as well as ordering large quantities of ore and magical materials. According to the agreement, most of these materials will end up in Reilly's pocket. At the same time, Richard was given much-needed equipment and gold.
