Chapter Twenty-Five: Back to Norland
The next day, the logistics units of the coalition forces arrived. Amid the cheers of thousands of dwarves, barrels of liquor and sacks of grain were unloaded from the wagon. Subsequently, a large number of weapons, ores, and metal ingots were loaded.
The total price of wine and food brought by Richard was about one million gold coins. The dwarves paid one hundred and fifty gold coins for each ton of grain. Dwarves eat much more than the average human, and an adult dwarf consumes at least one ton of food per year. Richard brought 3,000 tons of grain, which meant that the Crucible Kingdom could feed 3,000 more dwarves. Not only that, but Richard would bring in more food in the future.
In the Sequoia Kingdom, a ton of high-quality wheat can be bought for only twenty gold coins. Of course, if it is transported to the Pale Heights, the shipping cost fifty gold coins alone. And the materials that Richard obtained from the Crucible Kingdom can be sold for five million gold coins as long as they are transported back to the Sequoia Kingdom. From the Blue Water Oasis to Fort Crucible, the coalition forces have traveled thousands of kilometers. Once the road was opened, large-scale caravans would be able to traverse the bloodstained lands and transport thousand-ton supplies. This is a road of wealth flowing with gold!
Richard ate the high-quality weapons and ores he had obtained, and prepared to process them into enchanted equipment for the nobles who participated in the project. This decision was supported by everyone, and Viscount Sim was even more happy to dance with joy.
"If you do this, the old men of the Mage Guild will not be able to sit still. Reilly said playfully.
Richard sneered and said, "If those guys dare to come, don't think about going back." ”
Reilly whistled and said, "What a bully!"
The large army set out on the way back, leaving behind a thousand defenders at Canovinson and Cracked Rock Canyon, where he planned to set up camp to supply the passing caravans and secure the trade routes.
After returning to the Blue Water Oasis, Richard left the rest of the matter to Erin and Minnie Mouse, and then discussed the next trip with Reilly.
This time, they received a thousand high-quality weapons crafted by the dwarves from the Crucible Kingdom, as well as a large number of ores and metal ingots. These weapons are all made of high-quality forged obsidian, which is superior to those made of Lafite's fine iron. They were sent to Reilly's Alchemy Factory, where they were enchanted by puppet mages. In addition to this, Richard also received five high-quality weapons as a personal gift from Barmore. The Dwarven King's skills are outstanding, and the weapons he creates are inherently sharp and tenacious, and these attributes stack with the effects of the Mage's enchantment.
"These weapons can all be processed into Excellent-level equipment, which is what you Norlanders call 'epic' equipment. Reilly looked at a two-handed hammer and said, "I suggest you give them to your followers instead of selling them." ”
The warhammer's head had sharp spikes and an unusual cold glow flashing on it. This is not the brilliance of magic, but the result of the mastery of the forgers.
The five weapons offered by Barmor are two war hammers, two one-handed axes, and one two-handed axe, which is very dwarven style.
Richard thought for a moment and said, "Warhammer for Trinity and Tiramisu, two-handed axe for Minotaur, one-handed axe for Gonde." ”
"Wise choice. Reilly said with a smile.
"I'm going to make a trip back to Norland and send the three sets of Wild Walls I've made recently. Richard patted the Demon Sealing Box beside him and said, "The Spirit Storage Jar obtained from Jubwal will also be taken to the Eternal Dragon Hall for sacrifice." ”
The Savage Barrier was the second set of magical patterns created by Richard. The last time he returned to Norland, he held his first build show and was appointed by the royal family as a royal framer. During his one-month stay at Forge, he hurried to complete three sets of Wild Walls to bring back to Norland.
"I'll go with you, and see what happens over there. ”
So, Richard, Reilly, and Quicksand quietly passed through the plane teleportation array and returned to Norland.
As they walked out of the portal in the Temple of the Eternal Dragon, a priest hurried over.
"This is Grand Priest Nolan. Richard introduced.
Reilly made a mage salute and said, "It's an honor to meet you, beautiful archpriest. ”
Nolan nodded, and then said to Quicksand, "Grand Priest Van Lin has instructed you to meet her as soon as you return." ”
After the quicksand left, Richard and Reilly did not stay in the Eternal Dragon Palace, but returned directly to the floating island of the Akmund family.
While Richard went to attend to the family's affairs, Reilly was in a reception room listening to quicksand's briefing.
It turned out that after Richard was lost in the Farrow plane, Gordon seized a plane called Green Forest from the Schumpeter family, and then defeated the combined forces of the Joseph family and the Schumpeter family on the Norland continent. Then, he attacked the Luoqi plane, one of the nine exclusive planes of the Mensa family.
However, after Gordon set off with his army, the portal he was using suddenly exploded, and the number of the Rockety Plane in the Eternal Dragon Hall disappeared.
"What does it mean when the number disappears?" asked Reilly, curious.
It means that the Luoqi plane has broken away from the system of eternity and the dragon of time, and has become an independent plane floating in the void again. Quicksand said lightly: "Even if you get the original plane coordinates, you may not be able to re-establish the plane channel. ”
"So, who's in charge of Akmund now?"
"Richard. Quicksand said with a smile.
"What?" said Reilly, surprised, "Akmund has no man, and he has put the blame on a child." ”
"Who knows?" said Quicksand, spreading his hands, "By the way, Duke Mensa made his granddaughter Luoqi and Duke Schumpeter make a marriage contract, and designated their children as the heirs of the Schumpeter family. ”
"Is this an attempt to annex the Schumpeter family?" Reilly said with a playful smile, "Well done." ”
In the afternoon, Richard invited Reilly to his study and said that he would introduce two guests to him.
"One of them is the Four Princes of the Holy Alliance, and his name is Neris. ”
"Oh! I see!" Reilly suddenly realized: "His father is the emperor, and he is a cheating father." ”
Richard embarrassed: "You can't say that. ”
"What about the other one?"
"His name is Agamemnon, and he is the youngest son of the Iron Will. ”
Ten minutes later, Reilly met in his study with the two men Richard had mentioned.
Nereus was a handsome young man, and he looked to be less than twenty years old. His eyes are bright, his face is soft, and he has a gender-neutral beauty. In the words of the earthlings, this is the best pseudo-girl.
Agamemnon was a tall young man, about twenty-four or five years old. His body is very strong, and he always exudes a strong aura of strength.
After entering the door, both eyes were on Reilly, waiting for Richard to make an introduction.
"My friend, Reilly. Richard hesitated for a moment and said, "He's a great builder." ”
Neris's face changed: "Great Constructor?!"
Richard nodded and said solemnly, "Grand Constructor!"
