This kind of large-scale refining furnace enters the White Forest Plane from Bednar City, and cross-plane transportation not only requires a large amount of money to cross the portal, but Surdak personally rushed to Wilkes City this time, mainly to apply for a combat readiness pass at the military headquarters, so as to avoid paying huge taxes in Wilkes City.

The Grimm Empire's taxes on this kind of cross-plane commercial trade have always been very high, and the huge tax alone is almost worth a set of magic pattern structures.

For this reason, the merchant Malacomb wrote a letter to Surdak, saying that if these materials became military supplies, they could reasonably avoid taxes.

Surdak arrived at the military headquarters with a list of supplies, and walked upstairs and downstairs for a long time before he got a combat readiness pass stamped with stamps.

Then he sat in the office of the Great Swordsman of Chester for a while before leaving the military headquarters.

……

The merchant Malacombe's warehouse was built outside the city, in a small ranch.

The ranch is home to dozens of thunder rhinos, which congregate together and leisurely graze on the staghorn grass along the grassy slopes.

When Surdak arrived at the ranch with the heavy cavalry, the magician Victor and the merchant Malacombe waited at the gate of the ranch with a group of men.

The first time the magician Victor saw Surdak's cavalry, he felt an indescribable surprise in his heart, he found that these Gubolian horses exuded some kind of magical aura, it was difficult to say what they were, but these Guborai horses were carrying a group of heavy cavalry, which in itself revealed a kind of strangeness.

Victor's knowledge of the Guboren horse is entirely due to the fact that a noble lord approached the Scholar Ferdinand last spring, and because he couldn't buy a better quality horse, he asked the scholar to find a solution that could improve the physique of the Cousin Horse, and the Ferdinand Scholar maintained a special research group, and Victor was the deputy leader of this research group.

In fact, they soon developed an enhanced scroll that would improve the physique of the Guboraima, following the direction pointed out by the scholars of Ferdinand.

It's a pity that the cost of such a strengthening scroll is three magic crystals, which is far higher than the price of the blue-scaled horses, and even those black-scaled horses on the market are even more expensive, so this research group was quickly disbanded.

But Victor is very familiar with the various data of Guboraima's body.

Gubolai horses are known for their stamina, but because of their weak physique and lack of explosive power, they cannot be equipped with heavy cavalry battalions.

But the scene in front of him completely subverted Victor's cognition, this heavy cavalry squadron actually rode all the Gubolai horses, and it seemed that they should have come from a long distance.

When we arrived at the gate of the ranch, all the horses were soaked.

The cavalrymen jumped off their horses, took off the armor on their horses, took pieces of wood to scrape their horses, and then led the horses to slowly slide around the grass to soothe the emotions of these horses.

No wonder he was able to make friends with the scholar of Ferdinand, who turned out to be a noble lord. Victor thought to himself.

Surdak turned over and dismounted cleanly, strode up to the magician Victor, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said:

"Wizard Victor, thank you very much for making a special trip to the White Forest Plane."

His voice was steady and imposing.

Victor immediately walked out of the crowd and said, "Your Excellency Viscount Surdak, it is an honor to serve you. ”

Holding his hands together, Victor said: "What I learned in the Alchemy Guild is metal transformation, and those metal transformation experiments are usually conducted in the magic laboratory, it is rare to have such a good opportunity to go deep into the mining area, and I also hope to accumulate some valuable experience through this practice." ”

Surdak glanced up at the warehouse behind Victor, the door was designed to be so tall that even the Thunder Rhino could enter and exit freely.

"Our furnace is in the warehouse?" Surdak asked.

Victor nodded and said, "Yes, all three sets of furnaces have been shipped over this time, and as long as they are transported to the mine one after another, they can be assembled and debugged." Originally, I was a little worried that the furnace would be too large to transport, but since you have a Thunderrhino transport group here, it would be a good thing. ”

Merchant Malacombe stood beside Victor and stepped forward to hug Surdak.

The merchant Malacombe squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "I also said how you can get a refining furnace that only alchemists can master, it turns out that you have such a close relationship with the Hylantha Magic Guild and the Alchemy Guild......"

Surdak laughed and confessed: "I came out of Hylantha City, and when I encountered trouble, the first thing I thought of was to go back to Hylansa to solve the problem, and I don't think that the Alchemy Guild here can design such an excellent refining furnace." ”

Victor looked at Surdak in surprise and asked with concern, "Do you have a conflict with the Alchemy Guild here?" Need me write to the teacher about this? He has a lot of connections on the Alchemy Guild's side, so he might be able to resolve this matter......"

"Not for the time being, now everyone can still guarantee each other's decency!" Surdak replied.

"Actually, I only had a grudge against the alchemists of the Wilkes Alchemist Guild over territory, but that alchemist has now been banished to the Great Battlefield."

Victor asked, "The Great Battleground...... That place where the second-turn powerhouse is trained? ”

Surdak nodded casually and agreed.

"Hmm."

Victor was a little incredulous, and he couldn't understand what kind of background Viscount Surdak had behind him, and what kind of means he used to send the magicians of the Alchemy Guild there.

That's a big battleground! A place of purgatory for all magicians.

At the thought of the battlefield, Victor felt a chill in his back, and when he looked at Surdak, he was a little more careful.

……

The surveyor of the Territorial Administration accompanied the group of magic apprentices around Invercargill Forest for more than a month before they had finished dividing the territory of all the magic apprentices.

The surveyor didn't expect to be busy in Invercargill Forest from summer to late fall.

Originally, I thought that after stamping the map of Viscount Surdak, he would complete the trip to Invercargill Forest, but I didn't expect that there would be these young magic apprentices behind him, all of whom came here to divide the territory, and he followed this group of magic apprentices back to Invercargill, and he knew that he would not return to Wilkes City.

The autumn wind was bleak, and the surveyor stood on a big rock in the woodland, took out a handkerchief and wiped his nose, and greeted the relatives of the high-ranking members of the magic union in his heart.

Hearing the sound of chaotic footsteps, the surveyor turned to the head of the Magic Guild and said, "Your Excellency Berkeley Magician, since the division of territory here has come to an end, then we can return to Wilkes City!" ”

The surveyor secretly rejoiced that the whole process of territorial distribution was going well, otherwise he would have been busy for a long time, and when the first snow fell in the forest, it would have been even more difficult to walk here.

The head of the Magic Guild smiled slightly, walked up to the surveyor, and said, "Tomorrow, Lord Hawsley, the vice president of the Magic Guild, will come to Invercargill Forest to inspect the placement of the magical apprentices' territory, and I will rush to Dodan Town tonight to pick up Lord Hawsley." ”

"Lord Haarsley is coming...... All right! Is there anything I need to prepare here? The surveyor asked with a relaxed expression.

In the past, the senior management of the Magic Guild did not have this kind of routine inspection, and they did not know what the Magic Guild was going to do.

However, the reputation of the Great Magician of Hosley is very good, he is a very famous Great Magician in Wilkes City, and he has the title of earl, although it is not hereditary, but it is also famous in the aristocratic circle of Wilkes City.

The surveyor was an official of the Territorial Administration, and he couldn't afford to provoke the great magician, and he didn't dare to return to Wilkes City early, so he could only pinch his nose and wait in Invercargill Forest.

……

A convoy of magic caravans stopped at the north exit of the Dodan Gorge and pulled up to the grassy slopes below the hills.

Ahead lies rolling hills and mountains, and further north from here, the road is not suitable for magic caravans.

Along the way, you can also see a number of horse caravans carrying heavy goods into the Dodan Gorge, where there is already a loess road, but the road winds along the hills and mountains, and the turf has long been trampled by the passing horses.

Dozens of magicians from the Wilkes Magic Guild and the Alchemy Guild descended from the six ornate magic caravans, and they rushed to Invercargill Forest in the name of investigating the placement of magical apprentices.

A young magician jumped out of the caravan, pulled the doors open, and hung the ladder at the door.

Archmage Hawsley, the vice president of the Magical Guild, stepped out of the carriage.

When he reached middle age, Archmage Horsley's hair had turned gray, he was wearing a dark green magic robe, and two rows of golden medals hung on his chest, he pursed his lips and looked at the vast area north of the Thorn Mountains, the last time he came here, it was when he had just become the vice president of the Magic Chamber, and in the blink of an eye, he had been in this position for five years.

He straightened up, looked at the rolling hills around him, turned to the group of magicians behind him, and said:

"Let's stay here in the magic caravan, the road ahead is not easy to walk, I think we might as well fly low on the magic handle."

Two directors of the Alchemy Guild came from behind, and they came to Invercargill Forest this time to see what happened to the copper ore vein that Christopher had lost in the name of investigation.

Currently in Wilkes City, news is raging about the Invercargill Forest vein.

Some say that this vein does not produce many copper ingots at all, and that Viscount Surdak has to pay huge salaries to the indigenous miners every month out of his own pocket.

It is also said that the vein has been able to break even, but it has not been profitable.

The Alchemy Guild had obtained Christopher's report clearly stating that this was a copper-rich mine with very rich copper reserves.

For the Alchemy Guild, many agreements have been signed with Christopher, and this copper mine will bring a huge amount of income to the Alchemy Guild, but unfortunately in the end, all of them fell through.

This time, the two directors of the Alchemy Guild came to Invercargill Forest to investigate whether the copper mine was really as bad as rumored.

Or maybe there is something wrong with Viscount Surdak's operation, if that is the case, the Alchemy Guild is ready to propose this vein acquisition plan to Viscount Surdak, and he will not make any money in his hands anyway.

Alchemy Guild Director Kit Magician said with a smile: "This attention is good, it should be fun to fly at low altitude in the hills and mountains, when can you take back the air supremacy of the White Forest Plane." ”

Archmage Haarsley squinted his eyes and said casually: "This kind of thing is not something we can decide, we have to communicate with the above, and it is estimated that it will be necessary for Duke Newman to return to Bena Province from the Warsaw plane." ”

As he spoke, the magic scorpions dragged out of the magicians' magic pockets.

With the development of magical civilization to the present, this kind of magic handle, which allows magicians to fly freely in the air, has completely lost any characteristics of the handle.

This magic handlebar is composed of three parts: the control part, the seat part, and the drive part.

The front of the most primitive magic handle is just a simple single-handled wooden grip, the seat and the grip are connected together, and only a cotton cushion is wrapped around the wooden pole, and the power part is simply absent, relying on the magician's own magic output.

After so many years of change, the grip of the magic handle has become very comfortable and easier to manipulate the direction of flight, and the grip is divided into two sides, left and right, which looks a bit like a bull's horn.

The seat is already a slightly recessed leather saddle with a cross brace for both feet under the saddle.

In addition to the magic crystals inlaid on the magic handle, the magician only needs to continuously transmit magic power to the magic handle to drive the circle to fly in the sky.

However, the price of this kind of magic is not too cheap, and even if the magicians who can get a large monthly academic research stipend, not everyone can afford it.

Dozens of magicians gorgeously flew along the hills and mountains at the north exit of the Dodan Canyon, riding magic handles, and the scene was also very spectacular.

……

In May, there was a beast tide here, and the ghostly red ants ate everything they could eat.

By October, however, the bushes and meadows of the hilly and mountainous terrain had returned to their original state, except for the rare presence of small animals.

At this time in the past, the mountains were full of big farts. There are mountain hares scurrying around, as well as groups of wild boars dragging their families and mouths, and junior demonic beasts can also be seen everywhere, but now they may not be able to meet a hare if they walk a few kilometers away.

The same goes for Invercargill Forest, which has become lush in just a few months.

As the weather cools down, the leaves begin to turn yellow.

The surveyor and the head of the Magic Guild were waiting early on the edge of Invercargill's Warcraft Forest,

These newly promoted magic apprentices saw a group of magicians riding magic handles, flying around the mountain bag and flying in a row close to the ground, and immediately stood on the top of the mountain and let out enthusiastic cheers.

Adoration always makes the officials of these magical guilds happy.

They all jumped down from the magic handles, and Archmage Haarsley, who was at the front, looked at the newly awakened magic apprentices, holding a ruby wand in his hand, and nodded slightly to the magic apprentices.

The surveyor and the head of the Magic Guild hurriedly greeted him.
