819. Melancholy Magician
This time, the merchant Malacombe personally escorted a large amount of leather goods back to Wilkes City, leaving half of the Thunder Rhinoceros in Dodan Town to be transformed by the Demon Pattern.
Surdak only took the time to transform the two Thunder Rhinos the day before yesterday, and it was obvious that the Thunder Rhino caravan steward couldn't wait, and came over to inquire about the progress of the Thunder Rhino's transformation.
After all, the sixteen thunder rhinos stayed in the town of Dodan, and the daily consumption of forage was a large expense.
The steward of the Thunder Rhino Caravan was a little anxious, which was completely reasonable.
The steward of the Thunder Rhino Caravan stood in the study, and did not mention the transformation of the Thunder Rhino, but talked about the trade of Dodan Town.
The caravan steward was well versed in trade, but Surdak had no intention of reaching out to the interests of the merchants of Dodan Town, which was now trading in monster leather and soldier ant carapace.
After that, Surdak further wanted to do the development of Invercargill Forest.
Once the tide recedes, the Invercargill Forest becomes a wasteland.
The ghost-patterned red ants drove away the demonic beasts, and waited for the ghost-patterned red ants to retreat.
Surdak planned to take advantage of this gap and lead the cavalry battalion into the Invercargill Forest quickly, cut down trees and build roads, and enclose territory in the forest.
Marquis Luthor had given Surdak two mines, still in the Invercargill Forest, where he had to occupy.
In addition, there are the fallen giant ironwoods further north near the Dark Worm Valley, which can be turned into treasure in no time if Surdak can transport them out of the forest.
Of course, whether it is ore or wood, it needs to be purchased by a group of traders.
Surdak also took a fancy to the powerful transportation capacity of the Thunder Rhino Merchant Group in the Bailin plane, so he was also willing to cooperate further.
The Thunder Rhino Merchant Group now has business dealings with Surdak, and only the Soldier Ant Hardshell is the largest deal.
In fact, it was the subsequent mining of those metal mines that was very attractive to Surdak.
One is to rely on hunting for leather, and the other is to have a mine at home, needless to say, you should know which is more arrogant.
Speaking of this, Surdak took the initiative to talk about the transformation of the Thunder Rhino, and told the caravan director that the Great Alchemist had arrived in Dodan Town, and he would transform the Thunder Rhino tonight, and asked him to go back tonight to adjust the state of the Thunder Rhino, and try to select those Thunder Rhinos with a docile temperament in recent days, and give them priority to armed strengthening.
The head of the Thunder Rhino Caravan immediately said that all sixteen Thunder Rhinos were ready.
After saying these things, the steward of the Thunder Rhino Caravan immediately said that he would not disturb the commander's busy business and was ready to leave.
Surdak remembered the maids left behind by the merchant Malacom, and asked the caravan master if they could be taken away as soon as possible.
The caravan steward smiled bitterly, stood at the door of the study and said with some embarrassment: "Lord Commander, you have also seen that I am a little steward in this Thunder Rhino Caravan, where do I dare to call the decisions for the boss, these maids are all personal gifts from the boss, you should hand them over to him personally." ”
Surdak had no choice but to wait for the merchant Malacombe to come over and talk about it.
When the caravan steward left the small building, Aphrodite deliberately wore a black robe with a Mithril mask on his face, and stood at the staircase on the second floor to show his face.
Surdak is ready to establish her as a mystical alchemist skilled in the dark arts.
Although the Magic Guild lists black magic as forbidden. Don't use magic, but magicians really don't have much resistance to black magic.
The law enforcement team of the Magic Guild is all over the world to hunt down the mages of the Dark Magic Hermitage, mainly those magicians want to use black magic and space magic to summon demons from hell, and in order to drive the demons to hell, the entire main plane of Grimm will be destroyed by the heroes of all races.
The demons tried every possible way to find a way out of hell, but they never succeeded.
Now that there are magicians who take the initiative to summon demons to make themselves more powerful, how can the demons refuse, it's just that there is a lack of communication between them......
For Aphrodite this Min. Sense of identity, it is still necessary to avoid Lance and them, otherwise once Lance discovers that Aphrodite is actually a succubus with his wings cut off, it is estimated that the magicians of the entire Hylansa Magic Guild will go crazy.
And Aphrodite has always been very well disguised, largely because she doesn't have the same pair of demon wings as her ID card.
It is also worth mentioning that since before the outbreak of the beast tide, the military headquarters has successively distributed armaments and materials to the northern border towns.
Although this part of the armaments and materials is uniformly allocated by the military department, in fact, in the end the garrison has to pay for it itself, and the military department only rationally allocates resources, and only they have special channels to obtain military materials such as fire oil, fire scale bullets, and magical giant crossbow arrows.
It's easy to say that the war was won......
Once the war is lost, some noble lords can lose all their pants.
……
Lance has been suffering from war syndrome for the past two days.
The curtains were drawn in the bedroom and the light in the room was dim.
He lay on the bed with a haggard face, without any appetite, and his whole body was thin.
The morning plate was placed at the head of the bed, and the food inside was basically untouched.
Gorena and a few other friends plan to take him to the tavern for a seat, and everyone will have a drink together, maybe when they get drunk, the world will be different when they open their eyes again.
But Lance was indifferent.
He'd been lying in bed lately, thinking about what was the role of mages in legion warfare?
In fact, as the leader of the young mages of the Hylantha Magic Guild and the squad leader of the Magic Guild Law Enforcement Regiment, although Lance is friendly and humble, he is quite proud in his heart, and he has always been proud of being a magician nobleman.
But this time he was hit hard, because he had experienced a seemingly helpless battle two days earlier.
He and his friends stood on the back of a high thunderous rhinoceros, facing a large number of ghost-patterned soldiers and ants, and smashed them down with the best magic, but they still couldn't change anything.
The inability to change the tide of battle with the power of magic is the reason why the magical world he built in his heart completely collapsed.
In the Grimm Empire, fire mages are highly sought after.
People consider all magicians to be nobles because they have magical magic, but now that Lance finds that his magic cannot save the cavalry who fell in front of him, his heart is not only full of guilt, but also a sense of frustration.
He consulted some magic books and found that he had to master those fourth-level group magics, such as meteor fire showers, hell flames, burst flames, fire walls and other fire magic, in order to become a powerful magician.
But if you want to master the fourth-level magic, you have to break through the twentieth level and become a second-level powerhouse......
Thinking of this, Lance could only sigh in frustration.
"Lance, Baron Surdak has come to see you."
The beautiful sorceress with a round face pushed the door open a crack and whispered outside.
