Chapter XXIV

There are three borrowed mirror crystals, one in Toby Town, one in Maple Leaf Town, and the last one in the dwarf Maca Village, Brian thinks that there should be one more in the Raptors Fortress, but the Refuge Farm can lend it, so much, and if you want it again, you can only wait for Bourne to research it, but the devil knows when he will bear fruit, and the permanent magic lamp has not been successful so far.

With the help of the crystal, Brian saw Adela and Longfellow, and he was still very relieved to have these two people sitting in the dwarven village.

"My lord, the land road is fully opened, we have tried, if you take a carriage, it will take at least six days to get from Maca Village to Raptors Fortress. Adela reported, "The arming work in the dwarven area is also underway, with the participation of the giants of the plains, and the progress of the project is very fast. ”

"Have you received all the wine that has been delivered? Recently we have made a special wine for the dwarves, and we will send samples and recipes to everyone to taste, and if they like it, they can save a lot of food. Brian said, "Also, how are all the groundwork I have laid out?"

"All are well underway, surveys, planning and statistics have been almost completed throughout the region, and agriculture and animal husbandry have also been carried out. The first shipment is officially shipped out, and it is estimated that it will reach you soon, including rune weapons, fine iron weapons and armor, gems and blank magic crystals, a total of two truckloads. ”

"Great, I'm short of money, and this is a great solution. Brian was very happy, "General Longfellow, are you still used to living with the dwarves?"

"It's nice, I love it here, except it's a little damp. Longfellow said, "According to your request, I have reorganized and arranged the dwarven army, the regular training force is three hundred, the reserve force is seven hundred, the combat effectiveness of the dwarves has nothing to say, that is, the lack of long-range offensive ability, this is the current big flaw, and the barbarians fight, even if they are well equipped, they will suffer a lot." ”

"The human forces will make up for this, and I'm training more crossbowmen here. Brian said.

"However, the coordination between the various arms needs to be practiced, when are you going to attack the Mausse estuary? Before that, you must have ten days to practice combined combat. ”

"At the end of this month, when my outlaw squad training is completed and the Assassins are able to go to war, I will lead my troops over for ten days of training by you, and on August 10, we will officially start a war with the barbarians. ”

"Great, plenty of time. Longfellow said excitedly, "I'm looking forward to how strong the human and dwarf will be when they fight together for the first time in history." ”

"Let's wait and see. Brian said goodbye to the two and turned off the mirror crystal.

Byrne and Rage were waiting in the living room, Byrne brought Swift's notes, looked at the viscount with a look at the monster and said, "My lord, are you really level three?"

Brian nodded, took the Magister's notes, and said, "The dwarves will soon bring a large number of blank magic crystal stones, enough for you to spoil." ”

"It's incredible, how unjust the gods treat people!" Byrne envied and hated.

"You dare to offend the gods. Brian smiled, "Everyone has their own talents, maybe you can do wonders when it comes to magic items." ”

Byrne shook his head and sighed, "That's all there is to it, I'm an auxiliary mage." ”

"Fury, is the tin mine far from town, and are there any associated mines?" Brian kept a distance from the dwarf to keep him from kneeling again.

"Lord Divine Envoy, the mine is fifteen kilometers away from this town, and the quality of the mine is not very good, and it is accompanied by some sulfur. Furious replied.

"Roads are being built again, what's the use of brimstone?"

"Sulphur was generally used by the dwarves as a tool for refining iron, and if it was given to goblins, it could be used to make gunpowder. ”

"Is that kind of black powder that is so hard to control and easily explodes?" Brian thought, "You better use it for refining first, can't tin make weapons?"

"Yes, the gods have made the Lords, and the dwarves generally use them to make jars for things. Furious replied.

"Then keep searching, I need to find iron, copper, gold, silver, and precious stones. Brian said.

Peng Peng lazily interjected on the roof: "Yes, the tin is not delicious at all, and the taste is not good." ”

As he was talking, the town remembered the sound of the alarm bell, and Brian quickly stood up, identifying that it was the sound of the east gate of the town, and couldn't help but wonder that nothing had happened for a long time.

Riding a war horse to rush over, Brian saw that there were nearly 100 people crowded at the door, the security department, the escort regiment and the personnel of the outlaw squad, blocking dozens of intruders, although there was no fight, the tense atmosphere was already sparking, and he was afraid that it would ignite at the touch of a button.

"I've heard that Viscount Brian is so kind to anyone that he won't let us in?" said a handsome young man with a pale face, "and we're here for your well." ”

"Report to my lord, these people are all from the Alliance of Freedom and Equality, according to your orders, I did not allow them to enter, who knew that they were going to break in, and they also drew their weapons, so I had to sound the alarm bell. The captain of the sentry duty said.

"Well done, keep standing guard. Brian complimented, dismounted and walked to the young man, "I am Viscount Brian, and I am also the regional bishop of the Church of the Holy Light of Wisdom, judging by our faith, it is inconvenient to invite you in as guests, please go outside my fiefdom and publicize your ideas, so as not to make everyone unhappy." ”

The young man laughed: "I really didn't expect that a legendary progressive like you would also regard us as heretics, and promise to keep old beliefs and refuse to accept new ideas?"

"I haven't considered you heretics yet, otherwise I would have spoken to you with a sword, and since you preach freedom and equality, am I denying you freedom?" Brian retorted.

The man paused for a moment, and quickly retorted: "Don't you feel that the tide of freedom and equality has swept across the entire Lukai continent, and is burning the rotten church to ashes with a raging fire, and the poor people of the whole world are about to divide the assets of the rich equally, and gain new rights? Brian, when you speak for the church, you are not afraid of starting a fire, and you are not afraid that your people will rise up and take everything they want?"

Brian's face immediately sank, calmed down for a while, and then waved his hand and said, "Let's go, there is no point in arguing, as long as you don't make trouble, I won't make trouble for you." ”

The viscount gave the sentry a look, and the captain on duty immediately ordered, "Close the door." The heavy wooden fence slowly fell, keeping out the emissaries of the Alliance for Freedom and Equality.
