After listening to Richard's confusion, Phil pondered for a long time and said: "When His Highness was not yet the Grand Magus, I was by His Highness's side, and then I watched His Highness fight with the polar gray dwarves, orcs and half-orcs with my own eyes) At that time, when His Highness was fighting, the coercion was unimaginably strong, and the combat power was far beyond the level to explain, which could only be attributed to the powerful bloodline power. Later, when His Highness was officially promoted to the Grand Magus, he awakened an ability that had never been recorded in Norland, and it was said to be called the Magic Furnace. ”

"The Magic Furnace?" Richard had never heard of this ability, and with his ability to remember, it seemed that he had never seen it in any of the books of Deep Blue.

Phil showed a look of nostalgia, and it could be seen that the scenes of the past were still fresh in his memory: "Your Highness once briefly told us that the purpose of the magic furnace is to expand her own magic capacity, roughly doubling the expansion rate. I still remember that His Highness was very angry at that time, and he had awakened such a useless ability for himself, so he strictly forbade us to talk about it from then on. His Highness said at the time that he could not afford to lose that person. ”

Richard and Black Gold's expressions were very exciting, Black Gold was better, he knew these past events after all. But until now, when I listen to it again, it is still a little difficult to control myself.

The Forge of Mana, to put it simply, doubles the amount of magic a mage can cast.

Richard finally managed to control his excitement, and then Phil said solemnly: "What I can offer is that since you have Deep Blue Meditation, don't rush to be promoted to the Great Demon Master, first find a way to hone your bloodline power, the stronger the better." ”

"Grinding?" Richard noticed that Phil was using an unusual word.

"Yes, grinding. The awakening of the ability is also closely related to the environment in which he was at the time, and His Royal Highness chose to establish Deep Blue in such a sinister place back then, just to hone himself, in order to awaken a powerful ability. And His Highness's later students are all in the same way as His Highness, not in a hurry to advance to the rank, but to constantly hone themselves, in order to awaken more powerful abilities. Phil said.

Richard frowned, which made it even more difficult for him to choose.

At the end of the day, it's a choice between the lord-type and the strong-type path. If Richard chooses to quickly increase his level and develop his potential in construction, he can quickly accumulate wealth and troops, get more sacrifices, and sacrifice to get a powerful bloodline ability-_

Richard remembered that there was a long list of more than one powerful ability that could be obtained through the guò divine grace. Although it does not have such a powerful and perverted ability as the magic furnace, any of them are powerful abilities that are enough to satisfy Richard once awakened.

Richard smiled wryly, and then explained a little about the predicament he was facing. This made Phil frown too, and he couldn't give a better idea for a while, and he had the most contact with personal powerhouses in the past.

"Let me think again!" Eventually, Richard decided to give himself some more time.

Before leaving, Richard had a separate chat with Black Gold, mainly asking about Deep Blue's operations and finances. Then before leaving, he left behind a small box containing thirty high-purity magic crystals. This money, combined with the various funding that Richard had previously provided, was enough for Deep Blue to survive this year.

However, seeing so many magic crystals, Hei Jin instead stood up and said, "Richard, I also have some understanding of your current state. Deep Blue doesn't need so much money for the time being, you should use this amount of money and put it into the battlefield. That's the long-term solution!"

Richard smiled and said, "Master Black Gold, don't underestimate my earning ability. Also, navy is my home. While the teacher is asleep, I will take full responsibility. ”

"Richard, you...... Alas!" Black Gold sighed at the end.

"By the way, Master Black Gold, I still need you to do me a favor. During this time, I was looking for some young mages with potential in terms of construction, as long as they were able to draw first-order construction. ”

"No problem. Black Gold nodded.

"Then I'm leaving, Master Black Gold, take care!" Richard bent down, gave the gray dwarf a heavy hug, and stepped on the recuperated two-legged wyvern, greeted the morning light, and went all the way.

When Richard flew over the land of Norland, there was another turmoil in the realm of the Holy Alliance.

Richard had previously published a list of the rebel branches of the family, all of which were families who had confirmed that they had taken sacrifices and had not pleaded guilty within the time frame of his statement. The list isn't long, but it's not short. The matter was born in Akmund, which has always attracted attention, and it involved many families who gave these Akmund branches covert protection, and the implication was widespread.

After Richard announced the list, he left Faust, and no one expected that Ellie would suddenly send troops from the territory and directly sweep away the four or five small branches of Akmund nearby!

These branches were all protected by the Marquis of Sauron, so after receiving the news, the Marquis of Sauron was immediately furious! But apart from a series of statements angrily accusing Ellie and Richard, the Marquis did not make any major moves. The troops in the territory are frequently moved, but they are all strengthening the defenses.

In the marquis's steel hall, Suya and him have a new dispute.

"Father, if we stand idly by, it will chill all the lords who depend on us! Who will take refuge in us in the future?"

The Marquis was not angry, but asked lightly, "Then what action should we take?"

"Send troops! Protect the remaining lords on Richard's list! As for those who have already been captured by Ellie, forget it. ”

"Nice idea. But what if Elliejie continues to capture the lords you want to protect?" The Marquis asked.

"Then fight her!" Suya gritted her teeth. The risk of starting a war with Ellie is extremely high, and her style is completely different from that of Richard. Richard can use his troops to the extreme on the battlefield, while Ellie Jie makes people have no idea when she will fight and where the soldiers are pointing.

Marquis Sauron nodded, "Courage is commendable!, but how many Knights do you think there will be under Ellie's command now?"

"Thirty at most!" Suya said without thinking. He had done a lot of hard work to get to know Ellie.

"And how many Knights in Costume does Richard have?"

The Marquis's words made Su Ya wake up suddenly, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat!

When Richard led one hundred and fifty knights in costume to recover the Black Rose Castle, the symbol of the Akmund family, he swaggered in front of Suya. At that time, Su Ya was almost mad and wanted to make a decisive attack on Richard, but was stopped by the general.

Richard and Ellijie are now partners and allies, and Richard's Constructed Knight can also be regarded as Ellie's Constructed Knight in a sense, so how can she only have thirty Constructed Knights in her hands? Thinking that the number of constructed knights she had hidden might be fifty, or even more, even Suya lost her fighting spirit a little.

There was a brief, cold silence in the steel hall.

Su Ya finally said bitterly: "Father, you have also seen Richard's exhibition. We...... If we don't contain him at this time, we won't have a chance in the future!"

Sauron was silent for a long time, and finally heard only an inaudible sigh.

Elliejie's actions made all the branches of Akmund who had participated in the Floating Island Rebellion tremble, but what made them even more chilling was the attitude of Marquis Sauron. The Marquis's mere shouting without any actual action made them understand that the tree was not enough to provide shade, let alone shelter from the wind and rain.

Then, Richard returned to Faust from the deep blue. He barely rested, and rushed straight to the Black Rose Castle. Here, Richard had three thousand infantry knights who had just been armed with sophisticated equipment, two hundred candidate Constructed Knights, a full hundred Constructed Knights, and more than two hundred elite Darkblade Knights.

This is a pack of jackals, tigers and leopards.

The first thing Richard did when he arrived at the Black Rose Castle was to release all the beasts. He personally led the expedition and began to sweep up the branches of Akmund that refused to confess their sins and surrendered.

This immediately sparked panic in the surrounding area and drew protests from many families. They were all peering into the territory of the Akmund branch or something. However, Richard's attitude was extremely tough, he ignored anyone's protests, and only arrested the betrayers one by one in the order of the list. In this way, Richard undoubtedly angered these nobles.

The Earl of Pitraton, a branch of the Tucson family, was one such nobleman. Unlike the others, he was more assertive, and even pulled out his own private army and deployed it on the border of a branch of the Akmund Sir Domain. The meaning of the expression is obvious, this is my person, and if you want to move him, you will ask my sword first.

Richard arrived here on time, and without looking at the count's six thousand private troops, he led his troops straight past the count's army and went straight to the castle not far away. The Earl of Petraton's face turned green with anger, and he rode forward and roared, "Richard!!"

Richarder stopped the holy unicorn, greeted the Count, and said very seriously, "I don't know you." ”

The Earl of Pitraton's face was dark green at this time, and he didn't know what to say at all, and even introducing himself would have become ridiculous.

Such an insult can only be washed away by the blood of Tongguò!

The Count drew his sword, raised it high, and turned back to let out a roar of rage! On the opposite side of this strict military appearance was Richard's serpentine marching procession, with only 2,000 men, and there was no defensive formation at all.
