The Golden Retriever seemed to let out a scream, and suddenly broke free from Richard's palm, brushing the ground back into the depths of the blond hair. But it seemed to remember something, and came out of the bush of hair again, staring at Richard angrily. And a few small purple balls of electricity actually began to beat at the tip of it! Obviously, if Richard wanted to do it again, it would not be as simple as having his palm pierced.

Richard, of course, would not be stupid enough to be like that, laugh and walk away. Only the strands of blonde hair were left sulking in place, smashing the purple electric balls everywhere, and then annihilated them one by one in the blue light, without a sound, only shining white flowers.

Richard didn't see it, after he left, a shallow smile appeared on the corner of Su Hailun's lips, and then he turned over lazily, changed his position and continued to sleep, this time with a soft snoring sound.

As he walked out of the heavy steel gate, Richard was surprised to see that Black Gold and Master Phil were still waiting at the door.

"Have you seen Your Highness?"

"How is Your Highness?"

The two archmaguses asked anxiously. The legendary mage is the soul of the deep blue, and the deep blue is now a huge wealth gathering field, and it is located in a key position, once something happens to the legendary mage, it is impossible for these great mages to keep the deep blue.

Richard pondered for a moment before he said, "I can't see it." There is a power in the teacher that hinders the magic and ability of Qiē to detect perception. But it looks like the teacher should be fine for the time being. ”

"That's good, that's good!" Richard hesitated, and the gray dwarf was already sweating profusely, and now he was relieved. The violent heaving of his chest illustrates how fast his heart was beating just now.

"Are the new griffons ready?" asked Richard as he walked.

Black Gold said, "It's ready, four griffons in all." It is also equipped with enough vitality potions. But are you sure you're going to leave right away? You haven't eaten yet, and you need to rest. ”

Richard shook his head and said, "I need to go back immediately." I'm going to the Faro plane, where time flows ten times faster than Norland. I couldn't have stayed any longer. ”

Both Black Gold and Phil were familiar with Richard's personality and did not persuade him further.

Richard was also familiar with the operation of Deep Blue, and suddenly asked: "Master Black Gold, how long can Deep Blue last after the teacher sleeps?"

The gray dwarf's face immediately looked a little unnatural, and he hesitated for a long time before he said, "Your Highness didn't open any of your private treasury to the dark blue before you fell asleep, but asked for nothing to change before you fell asleep. You should know that Deep Blue has struggled to sustain huge expenses in the first place, and even more so now. His Royal Highness is very busy, and he has always been concerned about such small things as making ends meet, and it is normal for him to be negligent this time. But the reserves I have in hand are enough to support Deep Blue for a year at most. ”

Phil suddenly said with a pleasant face next to him: "If we old guys only receive one-third of the original subsidy, we can still support it for four more months." ”

The gray dwarf frowned rarely, and objected, "This can only be a matter of interests. Of course, a few of us who have been with His Highness for a long time have no problem, but what about the others? Not all archmages will be willing to pay for Deep Blue for free, and a few of them value Deep Blue's environment and resources more. If all the Grand Magus' subsidies are cut, they will most likely leave, which will have an impact on Deep Blue's reputation!"

Phil sighed and didn't continue. Black Gold is right, there are many mages in Deep Blue, but the vast majority of mages and Deep Blue have a cooperative or hired relationship with each other. Once Deep Blue doesn't have enough subsidies, then many mages will choose to leave.

Richard paused and asked, "What is the current shortfall of Deep Blue every year?"

Without hesitation, Heijin said: "It should be between three million and four million this year, and it may expand next year." Again, this is a judgment made on the basis of not holding any heavy dà events. ”

Richard asked again: "How many mages are directly subordinate to Deep Blue, which can be deployed by you?"

"Below the Grand Magus, there are thirty-one people above the fifteenth level, and there are seven hundred and twenty mages from the tenth to the fifteenth level. Among them, there are a total of 330 level 10 mages. "Master Phil remembers these numbers very well.

Richard nodded and said, "I'll find a way to use them gradually." As for the funding gap for Deep Blue's maintenance, I'll figure it out. ”

The gray dwarf was taken aback and exclaimed, "That's a gap of nearly four million!"

"I know. Richard said it plainly.

Richard had already mounted the griffon's back, waved his hand to the two archmagisers, and flew into the night sky on the griffin, flying in the direction of Faust.

A day later, the griffin landed slowly on the floating island of Akmund with Richard in tow. All four griffons arrived on the floating island, and although each one was tired, none of them died. The dark blue high griffons were much better quality than the top griffons outside, not to mention those of Akmund's standard fine griffons.

Richard ate a casual bite to eat, then took all his equipment and walked to the teleportation array that left the floating island. Half an hour later, the dimensional teleportation array in the Eternal Dragon Hall lit up with a flash of light, and Richard disappeared into the teleportation array leading to Faro.

With the addition of Deep Blue's round trip, a month has passed on the Faro plane.

When Richard returned to the Blue Water Oasis, the war-torn city was alive again, full of people busy building houses and a dazzling array of building materials, and the streets were almost completely clogged up by horse-drawn carriages and people.

In the past, most of the people here wore durable, rugged clothing suitable for the bloodstained land, but now the number of people who come and go wears the delicate colors of the nobility has increased considerably.

The entire Oasis City was crowded with at least twice as many people as before. Quarrels and physical altercations can be heard from time to time, but the city is much more vibrant than it used to be. These are just the people who are qualified to enter Oasis City, and as far as the eye can see, there are camps standing outside the city. A large number of horse-drawn wagons were parked around the camp, in a continuous row. Outside of Oasis City, there are now almost no flat open spaces. Later, some people began to bulldoze the hillocks to make way for camping.

In the distance, several large, striking buildings are being erected, which are warehouses for storing supplies. Just by looking at the scale, you can see that these warehouses are behemoths that can store thousands of tons of various materials.

When Richard left, Bluewater Oasis was still in ruins, and most people had to take shelter in makeshift shacks. Some people can only dig a pit in the ground, and insert a few planks diagonally on it, and then they have the right to live. So now that Richard came back and suddenly saw such a hot scene, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Master, you're back!" Among Richard's followers, only Orar still maintained such respectful and strict etiquette.

Richard threw the demon sealing box behind him on the ground, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "What about the others?"

"Patrol of patrols, repression of repression, training of training. Oh, and by the way, where the splash and the crimson are, I never let me know. The elven poet replied respectfully.

Richard moved his aching body, and with a little sense, he knew where the various followers were. Gond was on patrol, Sandru was hiding in a corner of the camp fiddling with his death knight, and Tiramisu was on a block, seemingly suppressing a riot. Splash and Crimson were at least a few dozen kilometers away from Oasis City, and they didn't know what they were doing. However, as soon as Richard returned, they immediately sensed it and began to move towards Oasis City.

Richard walked towards his command hall and said, "What happened during the time I wasn't there?"

"After the success of the longitudinal line plan, the nobles were excited, and the first westward caravan was being assembled. The caravan would carry more than 6,000 tons of supplies, including 3,000 tons of food and another 2,000 tons for the construction of two supply camps. The grain will be sent to the Dwarven kingdoms, and the goods of the other nobles will add up to about a thousand tons. ”

Richard nodded and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on these nobles, don't let them do anything in the tent." ”

"On another thing, the news just came this morning that a caravan had clashed with our warriors who had left behind in the camp in Crackstone Canyon, and several people had died. ”

Richard immediately stopped, frowned, and asked, "Where did the caravan come from, and why did it clash with our people?"

"According to the information that came back earlier, that caravan belonged to Count Rambot of the Iron Triangle Empire. The caravan was large, with a thousand and a half escort warriors, and our army left in the Crackstone camp was less than a thousand. So after a small fight, and after suffering some losses, he returned to the camp and let them go. By the way, Count Rambot is the original owner of the Blue Square camp. ”

"How can there be caravans around the Crackstone camp, and where are they going?"

Oral was prepared, saying, "The caravan went west, and they were carrying a lot of spirits, apparently intending to follow the trade route we had carved out to the Dwarven Empire in the Pale Highlands. ”

Richard showed a sneer, and said: "We have spent a lot of money to open up the bloodstained land, and this Count of Rambert wants to pick up a ready-made bargain? How can there be such a good thing, it seems that the matter of Sarenwell has not taught them enough lessons! It doesn't matter, let them go for a day, I still need to gather the warriors, and we will set off in a day! From now on, no caravan without our permission will be allowed to set foot in this passage." ”

By the early morning of the next day, Richard's followers were fully armed and waiting outside the barracks. In addition to Richard's people, there are also countless aristocratic youths who want to follow Richard in their crusade against the oil pourers of the Iron Triangle Empire. However, Richard had already explained to them that if they wanted to go, they were only allowed to bring one personal soldier with them, and that those who wanted to go must be able to withstand long and arduous treks, be skilled in horsemanship, and have to be above the tenth level in personal force, and the last requirement was that the personal title must be above the knighthood.
