Chapter 292: Salin's Rhapsody (Part II)

Skocchia's location is slightly north of Phoenix. However, the border is full of mountains, and the climate is mainly influenced by the warm western current, and the average temperature of the year is a little higher than that of Phoenix. Because of the special geographical environment, Skolchenya did not have to directly face the iron cavalry of the Tangulas Empire, and the sea frontier of the Tangulas Empire was harassed by the clouds, and it was unable to use the navy to deal with Skocina.

The Scochenian Empire did not have many roads to the south, and it was basically to exit from the Rhine. There is only one way to enter the Principality of Divine Grace, and there are three Xiongguan on this road, which completely seals the possibility of a land invasion by the Tanggulas Empire.

If the Tangulas Empire wants to invade Scochenia, the best choice is not to attack from the Principality of Divine Grace, but to enter the Principality of the Rhine from the east of Garolan, and then enter Skocenia from the Principality of the Rhine, which directly increases the distance by more than 10,000 miles, which is an unbearable factor for logistics.

But it was much easier to enter Skocchia from the Qin Yin Empire, and the border of Qin Yin and the Principality of the Rhine were also next to each other, and even Phoenix had part of the territory bordering the Principality of the Rhine. Passing through the Duchy of the Rhine, there is the Great Wall built by Scochenia, and there are not many dangers to defend here, so the Scochenian Empire tolerated the Dragon and Rose mercenary group.

This ninth-level mercenary group has two peak powerhouses and tens of thousands of elites under its command. Far more than a mercenary group should be. But the Skochenian Empire needed them to guard the frontier, so they could only turn a blind eye.

Salin knew that there was no hope of attacking from the Duchy of the Rhine, unless he could have an army of hundreds of thousands, and there were dozens of magicians under his command, there was no hope. But he could walk the swamp of chaos and enter Skocchia from the side.

Salin is no longer the ignorant teenager he was at the beginning, he knows the situation on the mainland better than most nobles, and he also understands several possibilities for the future. The invasion of Phoenix is a necessary move, although there are mines, timber, and Warcraft resources in the north, but the food problem is still embarrassing.

The land in the north is fertile, and the problem is that there is only one crop a year to grow, and apart from the consumption of self-sufficiency, there is almost nothing left. In the event of a war, the peasants could not farm the land, so they needed to buy food from outside. At that point, the enemy only needs to block his way, and Metatrin will be left alone.

Be sure to take Phoenix, this is the granary. The aristocracy of Phoenix may not be rich, but they definitely have the largest grain reserves in the world.

During the war, money can't buy food, so it's important to stock up as much as you can before the war spreads across the continent. One of the advantages of Metatrin is that it has a large number of mages. Saleen could have built a huge warehouse to store enough food to deal with it.

Ordinary grain can only be stored for three or five years. The warehouse built by the magician, the grain is stored in it, and it will not spoil even for thirty or fifty years.

The city of Metatrin has been systematically buying grain, and the buying and selling of ore is basically settled with grain, and only two percent are exchanged for gold coins.

No matter how smart Shaman is, the pattern is also limited. The Roland family may be larger than a marquis's family in terms of size, and in terms of title, they are first-class counts. The question that Sharman thinks about is nothing more than the Earl's vision, she is a little girl, of course, she doesn't know what Salin thinks.

However, with Salin's appearance, she couldn't continue to pretend to be naïve, so she had to say dejectedly: "Anyway, there are only so many people I bring, if I fight it out, I won't be able to come out in the future, and my sister will restrict my movements." ”

"How is it possible, this time your loss can be exchanged for those goods. ”

"I mean Master Bukharin, he's the chief mage under my sister. If I die, my sister will hate me to death. Shaman said depressedly.

"Fifth-level mage, it's not so easy to die, you see I'm not afraid. ”

As he spoke, Saleen took out the tea set and stove from the Demon Ring and began to boil water.

"Is there any wine?" Sharman was a head shorter than Salin, no matter how she looked at it, she was an underage little girl, she wanted wine, Saleen shook his head, and said, "Just drink tea, mages don't like to drink." ”

"I want to give myself courage, you have to protect me, I'm only fifteen years old, I don't want to die. Shaman untied the short sword from his waist and laid it across the table, his hands on his chin and watched Salin boil the water.

"Fifteen, how old is your sister?"

"Nineteen years old, when she was fifteen years old, the baron personally made by the emperor is not the kind of House of Commons. ”

"I have heard that girls from aristocratic families should talk about marriage at the age of sixteen, and usually at the age of eighteen, they should get married. ”

"The emperor said that he was in charge of his sister's marriage, but then the emperor ...... died, and the family did not dare to mention this stubble. I'm afraid that the Holy Rock City will find trouble. ”

"Oh, no wonder I went to Metatrin City. Rex can solve this problem. ”

Sharman listened to Salin's words, and his pupils involuntarily contracted. Salin directly called the name of the King of Kushui County, which shows that the relationship between the two is already very close.

"My sister was embarrassed to mention it. ”

"I'll tell you about it. "Salin ignited charcoal with magic powder and made a water of repair for tea.

"Brother Salin, you have a good relationship with the county king?"

"Sort of. ”

"I want to ask, what is the relationship between the county king and Metatrin City?"

"What are you asking for?" Salin kept moving his hands, and after the water boiled, he brewed the tea first, removing the dust and impetuous smell from the tea, and filtering out the first brew of water.

"Because my sister can't make up her mind, I see that Aini is very close to you, I persuaded my sister to follow you, but my sister still wants to be with the king of Rexshire. ”

"With Rex, your sister will still be affected by Holy Rock City for the time being. If you ...... with Metatrin City What does your sister want?"

Salin's words were ambiguous, but Sharman didn't hear it, and she continued: "My sister's baron was sealed by the emperor, and the House of Commons can't be taken away, and the current emperor doesn't have the courage to point fingers at the House of Lords. But sooner or later, His Royal Highness will control the House of Lords, you don't know. My sister received the knighthood because of the emperor...... The emperor looked at her like His Royal Highness the prince of the county. The prince knows about this, and it is too late to settle it now, and if he deprives my sister of her title in the future......"

"I see, is your sister a magician?"

"Yes, my sister is a fourth-level magician. When Shaman said this, he was very proud. Their sisters' status in the Roland family is not low, most of them because of their strength. She was a high-level swordsman when she was very young, and her sister also became a fourth-level magician more than three years ago.

Such two sisters are placed in the royal family. Will also take it seriously. She didn't know that there was no shortage of mages in Salin, what was lacking was a sword master like her. She is only sixteen years old, and she will advance to the Black Iron Sword Saint in five years at most, and it is also very promising to become a Silver Sword Saint at the age of thirty.

For a mage with a strong body like Salin, charging into battle is not as good as the top of the Sword Saint. Salin didn't care much about Baron Guya's rank, but was very interested in her little sword master.

"Metatrin is the last name...... It was the time of the Fourth Dynasty, and it was very glorious. Salin didn't go on, leaving it to Sharman to conjecture.

Shaman, who came from a merchant family, immediately thought of what Saleen meant. Now is the time when the world is about to be in chaos, and powerful people are definitely not willing to be lonely. Most of the families of the Fourth Dynasty are in Yunliu, and those who can survive in Qin Yin must have a lot of background.

"Five hundred miles north of Metatrin City, there is a river, I will establish another city there, the Governor of the Northern Mines, if your sister can get me a group of craftsmen who make weapons, I will let her out of the control of the Roland family, knighthood, now I can't promise her. ”

Sharman said with some disappointment: "My sister doesn't care about the title, she is just worried about ......"

"Worried about the safety of Metatrin City?"

"Yes. Sharman replied bluntly.

"No hurry, no hurry. Salin was still smiling, and he didn't care about Shaman's tone, he poured tea for Shaman, and said, "Within a year, I will sweep Phoenix, and I estimate that your sister will also break through the level boundary and become a fifth-level mage, otherwise she won't have the courage to make any requests." ”

Sharman was stunned for a moment, Salin's words were to the point, her sister Baron Quaint did have the hope of breaking through the level limit and becoming a fifth-level magician. Moreover, after Gu Ya was rewarded by Emperor Chanak, she recruited a group of warriors, and her twenty personal soldiers were all senior swordsmen, all under the age of thirty.

As long as a person is not stupid, if he learns swordsmanship, he will persist until he is sixty years old. You can definitely become a high-level sword master, but if you become a high-level sword master before the age of thirty, you will definitely have the hope of advancing to a sword master.

The two sisters have money, strength, and the support of the emperor, and in just one year, they have risen in the family. But the sudden death of Chanak the Great made Baron Quaint's heart hang. Fortunately, Holy Rock City didn't immediately trouble her little baron, and she still had time to plan for her future.

Aini sent her a message to come to Metatrin City, and without saying a word, Baron Quaint came with all his cronies. But after coming, Baron Quaint was very hesitant, because there were two forces in Metatrin City, one of which was the Metatrin family, which was the master of the city, and usually one necromancer was in charge of the outside world, and the other was the army of Bitterwater County.

Baron Quaint couldn't figure out the relationship between the two for a while, and Aini refused to reveal it, so she didn't make up her mind for a long time and kept watching from Metatrin City.

"Just let your sister wait and see for another year, and I think when the time comes, she will be able to make up her mind. Salin held up his teacup and took a sip.

"Hmph, my sister won't wait a year. There are already ...... in the family" Shaman suddenly stopped, she realized that if she continued, wouldn't she lose the capital to negotiate?

"Then call everyone she can take with her to Metatrin City, the Roland family doesn't dare to do anything to her. ”

"Why?"

"A large part of the Roland family's business goes through the northern part of the empire, and the Bitterwater County will soon control the northern part of the empire, unless they don't want to do business anymore. Salin sneered. The interests of the four major families come first, and now I am afraid that they have taken refuge in Prince Sephiroth. However, Salin was not worried at all, the caravans of the four major families wanted to do business, and they could not offend the Kushui County either.

Rex's ambitions are much greater than herself, and with the contract of the goddess, she will definitely plan for the north of Qin Yin first, and then the middle of the continent. And I want Phoenix, and Skolchenya.
