Richard looked at Adele who blinked at him, and was inexplicably poked in the cute spot, this girl ......

After thinking for a moment, his eyes pressed to Rebecca.

"Ms. Rebecca, your chips are very sincere, but ...... It's not enough. ”

"The Ice and Snow Empire is too far away from the desert, and it is very difficult for us to travel tens of thousands of miles to mine a vein."

"Moreover, frost ore is not necessary for us, and even if we do, it is only the icing on the cake."

This is true.

He had never seen the Frost Mine, and listening to what Adele said, although it was precious, it was not indispensable to the current City of Dusk.

The troops in the city of Dusk, from the time they are recruited, all bring their own weapons, and he does not need to forge them additionally.

Only races like elves, orcs, and humans need extra attention, because these races can train natives into armies in addition to recruiting troops from their lair.

It's racial talent.

Barracks are meant to be used to convert ordinary residents, but Dusk City obviously has a different development path and does not need to convert ordinary residents into soldiers.

The weapons obtained from the underworld are all sold for resources.

Rebecca's brows furrowed subconsciously.

Looking directly at the deep eyes in front of him, his tone was serious.

"Your Excellency Richard, believe me, when you've seen the Frost Ore, you'll agree to this decision."

Her original chips were not this very precious vein, but when she came to the City of Dusk, she saw that the total was extraordinary, which forced her to change her chips.

The original exchange is obviously not eligible to be brought to the negotiating table again.

This territory full of mystery is not as simple as she imagined.

But now a new problem arose after changing the chips - she was embarrassed to find that she didn't carry the Frost Ore, so she couldn't show off the extraordinaryness of the ore.

At the moment, it is slightly embarrassing.

Adele was so anxious at this time that she stared at her, if she didn't be able to be the master, she was afraid that she would have to agree on the spot.

Richard pondered for a moment, and was about to speak again, when Rebecca suddenly took out a treasure and placed it on the table.

"Your Excellency Richard, how about I add this treasure as a bargaining chip?"

Richard looked intently, it was a statue of a girl in a long skirt carved from ice and snow, crystal clear and exuding a hint of cold, the statue was vivid, as if it could come to life at any time.

Reaching out and taking the statue, he felt the huge magic contained in it, and immediately became a little interested.

Don't rush to respond, open the properties panel first.

After one glance, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Ice Elf Statue

Rating: 5 stars

Features: 1. Placed in the territory, the temperature of the territory can be adjusted freely, the highest cannot exceed 27 degrees, and the lowest cannot be lower than -20 degrees, which can be maintained all year round.

2. It can summon 100 ice and snow spirits, which have normal intelligence, and can add magic to the army when fighting, causing negative effects such as freezing, cold, stiffness, and shivering to the enemy.

3. You can release the skill - Ice Shield, which protects the entire territory, duration: 1 hour, cooldown: 24 hours, you can input magic power into the statue to extend the shield time.

Description: A treasure crafted from the coldest ice with great power.

Good guys, 5 star treasure!!

And the properties are still so good......

Three skills, one more practical than the other.

The first skill can be called a large air conditioner, which may not be useful in other territories, but this is a desert...... Dry and hot weather is nothing short of torture for ordinary people.

A treasure that can regulate the temperature in a wide range, absolutely not.

The second skill, summoning ice and snow spirits, is not bad for fighting.

What he values the most is the ability to summon the Ice Shield.

This skill compensates for the weakness of the defenses of the City of Dusk.

It can also be added with mana to increase the duration of the shield.

This undoubtedly hit the point of his heart's greatest desire...... The safety of the City of Twilight.

Richard was thrilled.

This chip is obviously much more fragrant than the pie drawn by the other party.

"This treasure can be exchanged for the Flame Dragon Rabbit in the City of Dusk for half a year. The rest of the deal...... I need to see the Frost Vein before signing. ”

The moment the words fell, Adele's eyes were bent into crescent moons, and she smiled extremely happily, and joy seemed to overflow from the bottom of her heart.

That satisfied expression is pleasing to look at.

Rebecca also smiled.

Although this treasure is precious, it is nothing compared to mastering the Frostwolf Family.

"Happy cooperation, Your Excellency Richard, may the goddess of ice and snow bless our cooperation."

The deal was not complicated, it was a simple barter, and after the general direction was negotiated, the remaining details were quickly negotiated.

When both sides agreed, Richard got the point.

"Ms. Rebecca, how can we ensure the interests of both parties after we cooperate?"

This cooperation, however, will last for several years.

Rebecca looked at him with some astonishment, and said with a subtle expression.

"You don't know about the Ice Pact?"

Seeing Richard shake his head, Rebecca explained with a smile.

"The Ice Pact is the brilliance spread by the Ice and Snow Goddess on the Main Plane...... As long as the terms of the ice and snow contract are signed, the goddess becomes the notary of the contract. ”

"Whoever violates the terms of the contract will be punished by the goddess."

As he spoke, his eyes were a little proud.

"In the entire main plane, there are less than 10 gods who can notarize contracts, and our great goddess of ice and snow is the most just one."

"Therefore, a large number of merchants from other empires will come to buy ice and snow contracts for the goddess to witness ......"

Richard nodded thoughtfully.

This ice and snow goddess is a bit skillful, doing so not only makes her fame and earns money, but also spreads faith and expands her influence, which is like killing two birds with one stone.

As she spoke, Rebecca took out a translucent ice and snow contract.

Richard opened the attribute panel and was relieved after making sure that the effect was as the other party said, and that it would really be witnessed by the gods.

After writing down the terms, both parties sign their names.

At the moment when the signing was completed, he faintly felt that he was being watched by the goddess of ice and snow.

A pair of indifferent eyes seemed to glance in this direction.

Although he turned around and passed away, the divine aura still amazed his heart.

Compared to the goddess of ice and snow, the kobold god is not even a fart......

The contract stipulates that the flame dragon rabbit rabbit fur produced in Dusk City within 5 years will be owned by Rebecca, and within half a year, at least 10,000 units will be provided every month, and after half a year, Dusk City cannot intercept more than 10%, and the remaining ones cannot be sold to the Ice and Snow Empire.

Rebecca, on the other hand, needs to pay for the Ice Elf Statue and a Frost Vein in the Frost Eternal Lands.

The two sides agreed that if the City of Dusk did not accept the Frost Vein, it would only provide half a year's output of Flame Dragon Rabbit Rabbit Fur.

The terms are simple and clear, and there is no superfluous nonsense, but because of the existence of the gods, the binding effect is almost full.

No one would risk being punished by the gods to break the terms.

Of course, if you want to die, that's another story.

After the transaction is completed.

Richard took the Ice Spirit statue in his hand and grinded it carefully, greatly satisfied.

This is a 5-star treasure, normally speaking, except that it can be a little easier in the dungeon, and it can be exchanged for points.

On the main plane, you can only get it if you take a huge risk to capture some high-level maps.

And this treasure also makes up for the gap in the defense of the city of dusk.

In the future, there is no need to worry about the enemy directly crossing the city walls and attacking the city.

After talking about business, Richard took Rebecca to the breeding base for a walk.

Seeing the lively flame dragon rabbits walking around, and the goblins taking the opportunity to collect the rabbit fur of the other party, Rebecca was extremely satisfied.

This is hope for the future......

It didn't take long for two goblins to appear in Rebecca's sight, and they came out of it with some unknown magical plant rhizomes.

Those rhizomes exuded thick magical fluctuations, and looking at the tooth marks, it seemed as if they had just been eaten.

This is the food that Dusk City uses to feed the Flame Dragon Rabbit?

Rebecca and Cledo looked at each other.

The goblin's eyes were sharp, and he immediately covered the rhizomes with something to prevent them from looking at them.

In this regard, Rebecca and Kleek glanced at each other and felt a little regretful.

But there is no in-depth research, being able to feed the Flame Dragon Rabbit that everyone doesn't know how to raise, this is a secret, and it is naturally impossible for them to know.

However, Klee quietly memorized the shapes of those plants, and thought about going back and asking people to look for them, to see if they could find similar ......

Richard turned a blind eye to the two of them, and gave a serious account of how difficult it was to raise them.

After the Flame Dragon Rabbit visited, he took the two of them to the Sand Date Forest and tasted the fresh Desert Crown honey.

The wonderful taste made both of their hearts fly......

The sun sinks to the earth, and the moon hangs high in the sky.

In the evening, a sumptuous dinner for Rebecca washes the dust.

At the tea party after dinner, Richard asked the question that had been bothering him with great curiosity.

"Lady Rebecca, the Ice Empire is so cold, how do you grow food? And how to prevent those grains from being destroyed by monsters in the wild? ”

This question made Rebecca a little stunned, thought about it, didn't hide it, and said directly.

"Our food is a plant called the ice fruit, which loves the cold and can take root in hard ice."

"The Frostwolf Territory has a piece of land within an iceberg that is dedicated to the production of food that can feed millions of people."

"As for resisting danger...... Enemies outside cannot enter unless they attack the entrance. ”

Richard was slightly disappointed, this experience has no reference to the City of Dusk.

He wanted to find a safe place, but the terrain of the desert was too difficult for him.

He didn't sell it at the moment, and talked about the agriculture problem in Dusk City, and finally asked.

"Is there any way to prevent the agriculture of the City of Dusk from being destroyed by the war?"

Rebecca didn't think about it and shook her head decisively.

"The desert is too barren and the terrain is too homogeneous to be suitable for agriculture or even territory."

"Your Excellency Richard, with your ability, you can develop better when you leave the desert."

Richard couldn't laugh or cry.

I'm here for you to give me advice, not to pour cold water on you.

There are many disadvantages of the desert, but the advantages are also obvious - this vast desert is a natural shield.

There are no enemies around that threaten the City of Dusk.

It can give him plenty of time to develop.

After thinking about it, he was still unwilling and continued.

"How do human cities deal with this?"

Rebecca thought for a moment before speaking.

"The geographical conditions of each territory are different, and it is difficult to summarize."

"But in general, there is always a way to suit your territory."

"As far as I know, there are some powerful forces that will assign production tasks and buy land around dozens of cities to share the risks."

"There are also some lords who own manors, signing long-term contracts and directional acquisitions...... What's more, it even occupies a plane to produce ......"

Hearing the other approaches, Richard didn't feel much yet.

But the last sentence mentioned made him suddenly think of the plane stone that he had been free in his hand......

In addition, he even has a World Tree Seed that can support a medium-sized plane.

Thinking of this, his brow furrowed again.

He felt that the safe production environment he was looking for might be able to start with these two treasures.

But the biggest question is, how can we make use of these two top treasures?

Richard's mind began to spin......

But after thinking about it for a long time, I didn't think of any good way.

Brain pain.

The Plane Stone is too high-end, and I don't know how to use it at all.

The World Tree Seed, on the other hand, requires 100 drops of divinity to activate, and now Renee enters one drop of divinity into it every week.

At the current rate, it will take more than a year to bring it back to life.

"Perhaps, you may have to wait until you step into the transcendent before you can make use of the two treasures......"

Richard smiled wryly.

It's extraordinary.

At present, the most powerful boss in the city of Dusk, the Dark Valkyrie, is still a full 5 levels away from this level.

And the higher the level, the more difficult it is to level up.

Not to mention the extraordinary, if he wants to rise to level 15, it will take a long time.

I rubbed my temples with a little headache, but I didn't dwell on it anymore.

Anyway, the treasure is in hand, and sooner or later it will come in handy.

After skimming over this topic, Richard's mind suddenly jumped to the thought of the blood coffin that was still buried under the roots of the Ancient Tree of Iniquity.

This blood coffin was snatched by orcs from the vampire castle near the Ice Empire.

There is also a transcendent vampire Grand Duke sleeping inside...... If you can get this Grand Duke done, will you be able to use these two treasures in advance?

At the moment, he said with a bit of deep meaning.

"Lady Rebecca, I heard from a friend that there seem to be many vampires in the Ice and Snow Empire, I wonder if you have heard about those evil races?"

His subordinates are all undead, and they say that others are an evil race...... Kreel couldn't help but wonder.

"Vampires?"

Rebecca raised her eyebrows, a little puzzled why Richard suddenly asked about it.

Richard nodded slightly.

"That's right, there are traces of vampires near my friend's territory, so I want to hear more about this race."

The girl's face relaxed at this time, and she turned her head to look at the level 19 hero beside her.

"Grandpa Kree knows more about vampires than I do...... He fought in the bloody battle 30 years ago. ”

"A bloody battle? Can you elaborate on that for me? ”

Hearing this unfamiliar word, Richard's interest soared.

Got a hidden secret?

Klee looked at the interested Richard, and it was not easy to refuse, and there was a bit of memory in his eyes.

"Lord Richard, 30 years ago, there were countless vampires living on the land of the Ice and Snow Empire."

"Those evil beings rule over vast territories and have been paying a fixed amount of blood as a tax."

"At the beginning, because of the power of vampires, the Ice and Snow Empire was still in a cooperative relationship with them."

"But it wasn't until a major earthquake brought an ancient ruin into the main plane that the situation changed."

"That ruin, we call the Land of Frost Eternity, Frost Ore, is its specialty."

"The vampires want to occupy that territory that is home to countless precious mineral veins, and the Ice and Snow Empire has broken out into an unprecedented conflict with it."

"Under the earth-shattering wealth, anger continued to accumulate, and the two sides finally broke up completely."

"In the end, in the Land of Frost Eternity, the two sides started a shocking battle."

"Transcendental, legendary, and even demigods have fallen on the ice, rivers of blood flowing and soaking the earth."

"In this battle, the Ice and Snow Empire won the final victory, the vampire high-level was slaughtered, and their protector, a demigod-level blood prince, was killed on the spot."

"Since then, the number of vampires has become less and less, and even gradually disappeared from sight, and only in some remote areas, you can occasionally hear about vampires."

Richard was thoughtful.

Didn't the sleeping vampire Grand Duke in the blood coffin survive the great war 30 years ago?

His eyes narrowed slightly.

With a bit of deep meaning.

"Ms. Rebecca, to tell you the truth, I captured a sleeping vampire before, the other party's strength is not weak, I want to enslave the other party, I don't know if you have any way?"
