933. The Gift of the Marquis of Luthor
Surdak walked over and looked at the sand table in front of him, which had a very different shape.
It looked more like a floating piece of land, or rather a piece of tile.
The mountains, rivers and lakes above are clearly defined, and the whole plane is a gentle slope at an angle of about fifteen degrees, so that almost all the rivers are flowing in the same direction, and there seems to be snow on the highlands.
The lower part looked like it had been plucked out of somewhere, littered with rocky mountains and some shady rattans.
Surdak asked, "This is the Dry Cloth Plane?" ”
"That's right!"
Surdak added: "It's really unique in shape. ”
Marquis Luthor sighed: "This plane is small, but it is a very rich plane. ”
He reached out and stroked the snow peak at the top of the model, and continued:
"Because it's so small, the total area is less than half of the size of Bena Province, and it's the first plane discovered and occupied by the MacDonnell family, and the portal of the Gampoo plane was built in Harris City in Tanan."
He pointed to the sand mold of this plane and explained to Surdak in detail from bottom to top:
"This plane looks like a vertebral hillside, and it is divided into the sunny side and the shady side, the sun always shines on the sunny land, where all kinds of plants grow, there is the largest plantation in Bena Province, and the shady side is a place where no one is dead, there are spatial rifts everywhere, and our immigrants have completed the development of all available land in the dry cloth position."
Surdak glanced back at the White Forest Plane, although this Ganbu Plane was many times smaller than the White Forest Plane, the actual occupation area was much larger than the White Forest Plane.
Marquis Luther frowned, looked at a lakeside city on the right side of the middle of the model, and said to Surdak: "Now the disadvantages are also here, the McDonnell family has been operating for more than a hundred years, and it is not their sphere of influence at all. ”
"Although we quelled the rebellion in Tanan this time, the main army of the McDonnell family all withdrew into the Ganbu plane, in fact, it is not easy for us to capture the Ganbu plane, not to mention that the main portal has been cut off now, although there is currently a temporary portal to enter the Ganbu plane, but the teleportation cost of this temporary portal is too high, and it is impossible to teleport a large number of troops."
"We can only send a few elite squads to infiltrate the Dry Cloth Plane, assassinate Lord MacDonnell, or repair the portal......"
"As long as our cavalry can capture the square where this portal is located, the reinforcements behind will continue to pass through the portal and take over the city."
The Marquis of Luthor said with some anger:
"The people in the House of Representatives are a bunch of stupid pigs with no brains, and they don't send their own troops, and they naturally don't worry about the casualties of the executors."
Surdak asked with some curiosity:
"Lord Marquis, why did Lord MacDonnell defect?"
The Marquis of Luthor looked down for a moment before he sat down on a chair beside the sand table, where he sat a little dejectedly, his eyes slightly lost in a moment, and he sat quietly for a while before he said:
"Let's start with McDonnell, the most thoughtful lord I've ever met."
"He's a very good guy himself, he has a lot of leadership skills, but this guy is a typical perfectionist, very idealistic about everything, and he wants to try to change some rotten systems, which is firmly resisted by many conservatives, and that's probably the main reason why he decided to leave Pena City."
"The second is the plane wars that have broken out one after another in recent years, and the entire Bena Province has been tied to the chariot of the plane war, continuously sending materials and manpower outward, and the dry cloth plane is the most comprehensively developed plane, and the intensity of sending resources to the outside in recent years has been somewhat large."
"And the people on the dry cloth plane have a high demand for McDonnell......"
"It's just in time for the Bena Legion to be stuck in the Warsaw plane and can't get out, so it's definitely a good opportunity for them."
Surdak didn't expect that the relationship between the lords would be so loose, and without the restraint of the Bena Legion, he actually launched a rebellion directly.
"How's the situation with Tanan?" Surdak inquired about the Marquis of Luthor.
Marquis Luthor waved his hand, indicating that it was not a big problem, and said:
"Many of the towns in Tanan need to be rebuilt, but a lot of the infrastructure has not been damaged, so the area will be able to recover from the war very quickly."
Surdak stood in front of the sand table and hesitated for a moment before saying to Marquis Luther, "I want to go to the Dry Cloth Plane to see ......"
"Since you insist on going to the dry cloth plane to have a look, then you can come with me!" Marquis Luthor was on the east wall of this room, lifted a map hanging on the wall, and used a bunch of keys to open the secret door on the wall, which contained another bunch of golden keys.
He put the golden keys in his bosom and led Surdak through the cloister on the first floor of the castle, turning around for a long time before walking down the castle basement.
There was still a small group of guards here, and they saw Marquis Luthor before they opened the large iron door to the basement.
I walked into the basement, through one iron door after another, and finally came to the innermost metal door covered in magic patterns.
"This is a showroom...... Marquis Luthor said to Surdak.
Anyone who can be used as a showroom will basically store something valuable, and Surdak is quite clear about this.
Marquis Luthor inserted the golden key into the lock hole, but did not rush to rotate the key, and turned the winch on the door to twist the wheel on the metal door to a fixed position, at this time there was a click from the metal key, and the key inserted in was actually withdrawn halfway, and the Marquis Luthor turned the golden key three times.
There was a clatter of locks inside, and a magical glow lit up from the metal door, revealing the faint blue lines.
Eventually, the entire gate was covered with a glow of magic, and the Marquis of Luthor gently pushed it to the sides with his hand, and with the sound of the wheel rolling gently, the large iron door actually slashed to the sides.
A room appeared inside the big iron door, and when he saw that the room was full of dazzling jewels, Surdak couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Let's go, let's go in and see ......"
Marquis Luthor invited Surdak.
Passing through the storage area with boxes of jewels, magic crystals, and piles of magic metal ingots, the two of them came to an area full of shelves, where countless magic chests were placed, almost all of which had labels in the lower right corner.
Many of the labels have turned yellow and brittle because they are old, and the handwriting on them is a little blurred.
"What is on display here is the wealth left by the patriarchs of the Luther family, and here is also what I left behind...... Look at it, this set of magic pattern builds was worn when I was young, I was a knight like you at the time, this set of second-level magic pattern builds was brought back from the battlefield, and then there was a more suitable one, and this set has been stored here. ”
Marquis Luthor pointed to a dusty demon chest in the corner, and said to Surdak with a smile:
"Now it's yours, take it with you!"
……
The dinner arranged by Mrs. Marianne was very generous.
After having dinner at the Marquis de Luther's Palace, Surdak and Hathaway and Beatrice watched the stars in the attic of the castle's top observation deck for half the night, before they left the Marquis de Luther's Court before they went to bed.
If it weren't for Lady Marianne's maid keeping watch at the door, Surdak felt that he might well become the son-in-law of the Luther family in advance.
Riding his horse at a gallop, Surdak hurried back to the Circle House Hotel at midnight.
