After fierce competition, the gray-robed old man auctioned the lacquer forest at a price of 800,000 amethyst coins, which was a big surprise. Although it is a bit regrettable, Arismid has no unhappiness, and he has basically achieved his goal in this trip. Not only did he find out the situation of all aspects of the Demon Beast Territory, but also successfully established a preliminary contact with Yang Ling, the lord, which laid the foundation for the large-scale entry of the Chamber of Commerce in the future. Before leaving, he invited Yang Ling to the Aragonese Chamber of Commerce as a guest again, leaving the contact information of the Chamber of Commerce in Yanjing Montson. It is implied that the Chamber of Commerce will soon be stationed in Weisen Town on a large scale, and it is hoped that the two sides can carry out all-round cooperation. Under Arismiddle's demonstration, people seized the rare opportunity to say hello to Yang Ling. Everyone understands that only with the support of Yang Ling, the lord, can it be possible to get a piece of the cake. Although he was lukewarm on the surface and had a faint smile, Yang Ling was excited in his heart. After glancing at the strategist Good, he understood that the purpose of the auction had been successfully achieved. Today can auction the lacquer forest, tomorrow can auction the mercury mine, plus Goode has revealed his intention to invite caravans to participate in the construction of major projects such as Blackwater City, ports and docks, I believe that the news will soon cause a sensation among merchants everywhere. Perhaps, without waiting for the beginning of spring next year, a large number of caravans and even large chambers of commerce will flock to it. After everyone dispersed, Goode instructed Orlando to bring the gray-robed old man to the council hall and wait for a while, and then introduce the old man's background to Yang Ling. It turned out that this old guy was the caravan leader secretly sent by the Weiss family to take away Stoff, named Christian. Goode was a little skeptical that he would have paid a huge amount of money to auction off the logging rights of the lacquer groves, and there would be some conspiracy behind it. "Hehe, it's best if he doesn't have a conspiracy, otherwise, after arresting him, he can take the lacquer forest and auction it again!" After smiling coldly, Yang Ling strode towards the conference hall. After a few polite words, the old man named Christian didn't talk nonsense, and directly said what he meant. Smart people talk together, but it is more direct, after all, no one can hide from anyone. It turned out that Christian was a shipbuilder and came to Wiesen for two purposes. On the one hand, it was hoped that the imprisoned Stouff would be taken away, and on the other hand, in order to buy suitable wood, it was natural to come across the high-quality lacquer necessary for shipbuilding. After taking a sip of rum and muttering for a while, Christian looked at Yang Ling on the opposite side and said sincerely: "Lord Lord, Young Master Storf's mother misses her child very much, do you want to let Young Master go back with me?" In order to thank you for taking care of me during this time, I can pay 300,000 amethyst coins!" "It's a pity, Lord Christian, before the situation is clear, it may not be good for anyone for Stouff to return to the Bantu Empire!" In addition, Lord Stouff is doing well here, please rest assured!" Compared to the security of the territory, hundreds of thousands of crystals are not worth mentioning, although it is not clear how useful it is to continue to seize Stouff, but Yang Ling is still reluctant to miss any opportunity. Not to mention anything else, as long as the Weiss family is still circling for a day, they can buy an extra day for their territory. As long as it drags on for a while, and the elf elders depict a large number of magic arrays, or the alchemist refines a large number of bombs made of black pulp melons, the territory will be much safer. After adding the crystal coins several times, seeing that Yang Ling showed no signs of relenting, the gray-robed old man Christian had no choice but to give up and discuss the plan to collect tree lacquer instead. Later, the two sides decided to cooperate and build a shipyard near the port where they went to sea. Yang Ling provided labor, land and timber, while the other party provided capital and technology, and the profits were divided into 64 percent. "Lord Yang Ling, on the way to Montesen, you must be cautious. In addition, when you are not in the castle, please move Young Master Stoffe to a safe place and send heavy troops to protect you!" Before leaving, Christian hesitated for a moment, then reminded him, and then took out a token from his arms, "This is the token of our Weiss family, if you encounter any trouble in the Principality of Livingsa, it may be of some use!" After a few words of reminder, Christian strode away surrounded by guards. Looking at his distant figure, Yang Ling and Goode glanced at each other, silently speculating on the meaning of his words. After pondering for a moment, Goode said, "My lord, why don't you stay in Wesson Town, and I will go to Montesen to attend the king's birthday celebration on your behalf?" "Hmph, it will come sooner or later!" After snorting coldly, Yang Ling said: "During this time, I transferred a team of half-orc elites from Blackwater City to help defend. After I leave, if you encounter any problems, you can go to Blackwater City to find the Fox Clan Elder, and he will try his best to help you. "Now that Christian has spoken out, it is clear that the danger does not come from the Vess family. Although it was not clear where the danger came from for a while, Yang Ling was not as worried as Goode, although the strength of the territory was still insufficient, but Weisen Town was no longer the original Weisen Town. Even if you don't have your own army of Warcraft, with the strength of many elite minotaurs, Medusa, barbarians, and elven archers, I believe that even if the enemy sneaks in, it won't be able to make any waves. However, although they are not too worried, vigilance and prevention are still necessary! Next, Yang Ling and Gude replanned the defense of the territory. The garrison of Alashan Pass cannot be moved, the ogres in the Teutonic Valley cannot be mobilized, and the only ones who can change are the orcs gathered in Blackwater City. During this time, the elders of the fox clan worked tirelessly and recruited many new tribes. After consulting with him, Yang Ling transferred 200 minotaurs, 200 Medusa and 400 kobolds to Weisen Town to assist in the defense, plus the original guards of Weisen Town, Goode had an army of nearly 1,600 people. With a few magicians and goblins, it's believed that it will be enough to deal with small-scale troublemakers. In addition, in order to strengthen the defense of Weisen Castle, Yang Ling decided to leave the gargoyles behind and be responsible for attacking the assassins who sneaked in. In normal times, they will be disguised as motionless statues, and when the enemy infiltrates them, they will suddenly attack at a super-high speed. After the arrangements were made, Originally, Yang Ling was still going to hurry up and cultivate before leaving, but unexpectedly, there was good news from the Teutonic Valley. When an ogre excavates a vein of multicolored ore, he inadvertently unearths a diamond, which is the best of the best crystals, and contains a lot of energy. According to Goode, it can not only greatly increase the magic power and magic power of the magician, but also gradually improve the magician's physique, which is the treasure that every magician dreams of. On the Tylen Continent, basically every great empire has more than a dozen crystal mines, but there are very few, or even almost none, that can produce crystal diamonds. A crystal mine that produces crystal diamonds, after it is spread, will definitely attract an overwhelming bloody storm. After learning the news, Yang Ling and Goode led several henchmen to rush to the Teutonic Valley, and under the leadership of the two-headed ogre Brasga, they went directly to the place where the diamond was dug up. "Master, look, this is the place where the diamond was dug up!" said Braska as he escaped from his arms and sent it to Yang Ling respectfully. Although he didn't understand the value of the crystal diamond very well, he also knew that this was definitely not an ordinary treasure, and immediately sent a guard to inform Yang Ling after digging it out. The crystal diamond was not big, only the size of a lychee, but Yang Ling felt that there was a huge amount of energy contained in it. After a preliminary attempt, I found that it could be transformed into not only magical power, but also the so-called magic power of this world. Originally, he could only emit a faint small flame, but after wearing the diamond, the flame increased by more than ten times, almost half the length of chopsticks. "Blaska, how many people know who have dug up the diamond?" After understanding the value of the diamond, looking at the huge crystal mine, and then looking at the tall Blaska on the side, Yang Ling's heart moved. Diamonds are important, but if the news leaks, it will not be good, and it may lead to disaster. "The master, including me, is known only to three people. After getting the report from the clansmen, I immediately blocked the news!" Although Braska's brain is not very flexible, he is not stupid, so he blocked the news in time and notified Yang Ling to come and deal with it. "Very good, Braska, very well done!" After nodding appreciatively, Yang Ling ordered in a deep voice, "From today onwards, strengthen the patrol of the guards, even a mosquito is not allowed to enter!" "Yes, understood!" After receiving the order, the two-headed ogre Braska withdrew on the spot to arrange. Under his command, the rampaging ogres moved one after another, firmly guarding the passages to prevent anyone from sneaking in. Feeling the huge energy fluctuations in the crystal ore, Goode became more and more excited, and his hands holding the staff trembled slightly. Sometimes touching the crystal ore, sometimes closing his eyes to experience it carefully, the crystal nucleus of the demonic beast at the top of the staff emitted wisps of dazzling light. After a few laps in the crystal mine, Goode was excited, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "My lord, the magic power here is too huge, and there is definitely more than one crystal diamond. Perhaps there is a rare crystal essence hidden in the depths of the vein, otherwise, it would definitely not be possible to form so many high-quality crystals, let alone give birth to crystal diamonds!" Although he had never heard of any crystal essence, seeing that Gude's eyes were shining with excitement, Yang Ling understood that the so-called crystal essence was definitely not trivial. A small crystal diamond already contained a huge amount of energy, and he couldn't imagine how precious the crystal essence in Good's mouth would be.
