Roland XI was despised by his courtiers and announced the dissolution of the meeting early.

Back in the study, the eleventh was in a trance, he had always thought that he was a wise and martial emperor, and now his own civilians were not as good as the cattle led by Depero, where did his wisdom go, and his divine martial arts were lost.

The root cause of the problem lies with the aristocracy, the greedy aristocracy. There is only one good lord, and he still competes with him.

"Someone!"

A clerical officer immediately entered the door and came to the emperor.

"Record, promote Depero to marquis, give him all the land south of Depero's territory to the sea, okay, that's it!"

The land looks much larger, and to the south of Depero is a huge rocky mountain, and to the south of the rocky mountain are rocky beaches, all the way to the sea, there is not a single arable land.

The 11th is complacent, make you a marquis, expand your territory, I don't care about the emperor, I am not ordinary, I will double the territory for you, if the sea is also useful, then you can use it casually.

A few days later, the two emperor's envoys arrived, the two mages, the old guy looked at the two mages, very unpleasant, the mage explained his intentions, and the old guy was much more pleased.

Depero was promoted to Marquis, the land was doubled, and after the two mages watched the dwarven mines, the mission was successfully completed, and they fled from Depero, and the eyes of the vice president made them very uncomfortable.

"Old boy, all the marquis, the land has doubled, what to do with a sad face!"

"What's the use of these stone mountains, rocky beaches, to put it bluntly, the emperor himself put gold on his face."

Depero was very unhappy, a pile of rotten stones, and he was upset to look at.

"The dwarves like stone platforms, call the mining team to come and have a look that day, don't they like to dig!"

Evan figured it out, and maybe there really was a good ore.

"Yes, yes, the dwarf likes it! Maybe it's a mine! Then in a developed country, it will not be difficult for your old boy to marry a daughter-in-law again! ”

"Is it difficult for me to marry a daughter-in-law now?"

"Then you old boy is going to marry! I'm also going back to drinking! ”

Evan looked at the two old fellows, and the more he talked, the more unkind he became.

"How good it is for you two old guys to marry a daughter-in-law together, I can drink two wedding wines!"

"Don't talk about that, old fellow! If you have something to say, let's say it privately, shame no! ”

"I'm used to being embarrassed, what I'm afraid of, it's my own people!"

The old guy is thick-skinned, and besides, there are only three of them, and he doesn't care about anything.

When the dwarven mining team heard that Depero invited them to search for mines, they were so excited that they couldn't help themselves, since they dug out the cave, they had been resting for a long time, and they didn't touch the mine hoe when they slept, and they couldn't sleep all night. Without hearing the "jingle clanging" sound of mining, the dwarves found themselves all emaciated.

Rushed to Depero overnight and started work overnight. We haven't talked about the price of wages yet! Wages, can wages matter to the lives of dwarves! Don't mention gold coins to me, if I don't dig a few stone platforms, will gold coins keep me from sleeping!

To the east of the Evan Magic Tower, the dwarves started work overnight, and the dwarves smelled a few pieces of excavated ore, just like smelling a woman's hand, and then licked their tongues, and the action was as gentle as water.

"There's magic ore up ahead, I can smell it, and I can taste it, guys, work harder, dig bigger, we'll sleep here today!"

"Man, really! I'm not good yet, but I love the smell of ore too! ”

"Keep it up! Sleep here! ”

Evan looked at a few crazy dwarves and had nothing to say, let them go! Let the people leave dry food, dried meat, and water, and keep the tent, and if it rains, they will go back.

When they came to see it the next day, the dwarves were snoring, they didn't know how long they had been digging, anyway, the magic ores inside were exposed, four or five meters deep, seven or eight meters wide, and six dwarves lined up, lying in the mine and falling asleep. Still, the dwarves didn't know when they were going to sleep.

Not long after Ivan returned to the castle, the dwarven prospector came and reported the situation of the magic ore to the two old guys.

"The super-large Mithril and magic steel hybrid mine can only be directly bulldozed on the mountain, the ore layer is basically level with the ground, it is the mountain uplift that is pushed up, the ore layer is thick, the area is large, and if you don't bulldoze the mountain, half of the ore will be wasted."

"We don't have that much to pile up gravel here, waste mines."

When Depero heard that the mountain was bulldozed, how to deal with this!

"Ahh Opposite is the sea, dump into the sea, dig a passage first, clear a road out, and then transport it to the minecart, how simple. It can also increase the size of the territory by a lot. ”

The thinking of dwarves is different from that of normal humans, just these mountains that are a few miles wide are not a matter at all in their eyes, and they have come over thousands of miles, what is this!

"Alright then, the excavation is all up to you dwarves, or your profession."

When Depero heard the dwarven style of handling ore, he directly made a decision.

"Okay, as long as there is mining, there is no problem. I immediately contacted the miners, and I took the job, and the wages were given to the gold coins and the ore. ”

The old dwarf and Depero negotiated the price after a while, the dwarf was straightforward, and Depero was not ambiguous.

The miners also came quickly, five hundred dwarven miners, arrived on the same day, and Depero's logistics quickly followed. Here the miners began to dig the passage, and the prospector team continued a short distance to the east. This is all judged by experience, the old dwarf tasted the ore and was happy, and it was a good mine, and the dwarves next to him knew very well, several people had been together for many years, and this was known at a glance.

The good news was repeated, and Depero also smiled, thinking that the emperor had sent a bunch of stones, but he never thought that there were good things in the stones, but he didn't know what his majesty's expression would be when he knew it, and he found two rich mines in just a few days.

The two mages returned to the palace and replied to what Depero had seen and heard.

"The dwarves have really dug up the snowy mountains! They also led a huge grain depot under Depero's leadership, and they guarded it themselves? ”

"It's all true, the dwarves have dug through the Great Snow Mountain, the minecarts have reached the Depero Territory, and the huge grain depot is guarded by a thousand dwarven heavy warriors. I heard that a few years ago, the Black Rose Trading Company took advantage of the dwarves' lack of food and maliciously raised prices, and the price reached five times the price of our grain. It also lowered the price of dwarven weapons and armor by 30%. The dwarves had no choice, but they had too much food, so they contacted Depero to buy food, but Depero had limited food, and nearly one million dwarves were short of food, so that the Thorn Flower Merchant House bought food on a large scale. ”

"So that's what happened, it's the Black Rose Firm, it's everywhere. Dwarves guarding Depero's collar? ”

"No, dwarves generally don't leave the granary. The prince of the dwarves has an order not to go east. ”

"Brother Huang, now rest assured!"

"Well, it's so twisty! The Black Rose Merchant has earned so much gold that it has driven the dwarves to a dead end. In the final analysis, the Holy See is powerful, and we have never known about earning hundreds of years of gold coins in the Violet Empire. ”

"By the way, the orc army slaughtered the northern part of the Holy See and burned it to the ground."

Dilis thought for a moment and remembered something.

"I heard that the orc shaman priest has a new spell, blessed on the orc warrior, he can jump nearly fifteen meters high, and this is how the wall of the northern border was lost."

"Fortunately, it is far away from the orcs, and there is the Roland Alliance in the middle. The Holy See is still the most threatening, they are hiding too deeply. ”

Yves Saint Laurent, the forbidden place behind the Holy See.

"Our falcons are dead, nothing has been found, none have returned, and the Shadow Stone project has failed."

The elven mage briefly stated that the problem of falcon reconnaissance failure, Lawrence could not do anything about the falcon.

"Victor is missing?"

It's been a long time since the human mage heard from Victor.

"Yes, we don't have anyone in Depero, the person who put the falcon got a little news, he saw that the falcon was shot down by the magic eye, the falcon flew very high, and the magic eye was shot down, which means that its attack range has increased, and it attacks at such a long distance, at least three thousand meters. Judging from the distance and dissipation of energy, there is no problem at all with killing the Holy Warrior in two thousand meters. One thousand meters, the legion commander will also be killed in seconds. It's not the lightning bolt it used to be now, the red light should be similar to the death ray, and the energy is more concentrated, so it will have such a large attack distance. ”

"Abandon Depero's investigation in the future, this place is a bottomless pit. The north began to have trouble. ”

Lawrence announced that he would no longer pay attention to De Perlo, and the slaughter of the North was a slap in the face. The second highest priest of the orcs, who knows how to be very strategic, this person is very difficult to deal with, and he also came to the Holy See to slap Lawrence in the face. Courage and cunning, if he becomes the first high priest, Saint Laurent is in danger.

"We don't have enough gold to repair the walls and facilities in the north, what do you suggest?"

Lawrence is now a mess with one hand, and he can't figure it out. Several human mages had been contacts with the Black Rose Firm before, and could only come out to face problems.

"It's very troublesome now, the Black Rose Merchant House is completely gone, the church outside has also been cleaned up, and in the future, there will be no gold coins outside, the institutions of the Holy See are too large and bloated, and most of the taxes are paid to them and the legions, and there is basically no superfluity. Moreover, none of those seminaries, ascetics, and monasteries could move, and they were all members of high-level families. Tens of thousands of idlers have been raised in vain, and if you dare to touch these people, the corps commander will have gold coins! ”

The big problem returns to Lawrence, there is basically no difference between the big families of the Holy See and the nobility, for hundreds of years, the big families of the Holy See have been constantly sucking the blood of the Holy See, and the Lawrence family is the same. To put it bluntly, I can't move, and I don't dare to move these people.

An elven mage said bluntly.

"The Holy See is no longer the same as it was a thousand years ago, starting from the end of the Roland era and the participation of the Holy See in the division of Roland. The Holy See is full of filth and sin. As everyone here knows, the fact that I can stand here is the best proof of that. I, a necromancer, have been invited into the Holy See, and there is nothing to hide. The Holy See itself blocked its own retreat, and the great families of the Holy See, like the nobles, differed only in name, and now these families were united with each other and cautious of each other. Whoever moves their interests now will die at the hands of these hundreds of thousands of people. The popes have not come forward, they no longer believe in the pope, they believe in gold and power. ”

There was silence all around, and the elves had the most right to speak, and the three elven mages here saw the complete changes in the Holy See for more than a thousand years.
