114 Chapter 114
It turns out that although Hudson is concerned about the safety of the entire city of Pamore, as a high-ranking magician, he does not care much about the livelihood of ordinary people. It seemed to him that this was a matter of concern to the administrators, and had nothing to do with him, but now that Moller had asked, and seeing that the two had made a connection, he sent someone to inquire about the situation, but he was very interested in pulling Moller to talk about enchantment.
Making a Rank 9 magic weapon is a very glorious thing for Old Man Hudson, and this weapon also turned the tide of the battle and saved the entire City of Pamore, which made him even more spirited and proud, so he had a very good heart during this period of time, and he was always interested in making some magic items. At this time, he talked to Moeller about a method of making magic alarm bells, and when he arose, he opened an alchemy room at that time and joined forces with Moeller to make Zuò.
The magic alarm bell that the two discussed was not of high level, only intermediate level 5, but it was just a delicate design, so under the joint efforts of the two experienced enchanters, it only took half an hour to take shape, and at this time, the person sent by Hudson to inquire about the situation also returned.
Hudson didn't care about giving the magic alarm bell he had just made to Moeller, and asked his men to report the news they had asked. Hudson's middle-aged subordinate is the steward who is responsible for the distribution and sale of magic items produced in the magic tower on a daily basis, because the authority in his hands has dealings with all the forces in the city, so the news he heard is also very detailed.
It turned out that because the city lord's mansion had been emptied of his family funds in order to cope with the war, William, the acting city lord, ordered the nobles in the city to help the victims, and they must donate a certain amount of gold coins to the victims according to their titles and the size of the territory. And although it is a donation, William promised to put a certificate similar to a bond, and he will compensate in full after the hard times.
However, there were very few responders, except for a few nobles who donated in full, the remaining nobles came up with various reasons and excuses, saying that they were really on the verge of bankruptcy and could not afford to donate.
It had all happened yesterday and one day, but it had changed a lot not long before the steward had gone out to inquire - William had ordered the arrest of a viscount and two barons, and the seizure of their property.
The three arrested nobles were clearly convicted of leaking information about the city by communicating with foreign enemies during the siege, and the other was accused of a previous murder.
The steward described the three nobles with conclusive evidence of crime after being tried publicly, and directly sentenced them to death, and all their property was used to relieve the victims, and specifically said that these three nobles were the most energetic to cry to William on behalf of the city lord, claiming that their families were in debt and could not take out gold coins to help the victims, but after the search, they were actually extremely rich.
After this situation was announced by the city lord's palace, the people who were affected by the disaster could be said to hate the three nobles who were obviously rich but unwilling to give a little relief to them, so when they were sentenced to death, the people applauded one after another, and sang praises and reverence for William's deeds and reverence.
After hearing the news, Hudson seemed to be a little happy and a little sad, and it seemed a little complicated. And Moller was purely happy for the affected people of Pamor, and he didn't care if it was a trick played by the lord of William in order to take power, and the power game between the nobles had always been like this.
Just then, a waiter from the magic tower knocked on the door and reported to Hudson, "The lord of Marcchi has sent someone to see the powerful cannon made by your Excellency, and he is very interested in this magic weapon that has made great achievements. ”
Hudson was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then frowned impatiently and said, "You sue him, the bomber is being repaired and maintained, and now it can't leave the alchemy room, if you want to see it, come and see!"
Even without an honorific title, Moeller felt that the position of the lord of Marchi City was probably really going to be done.
Moeller left Hudson's Magic Tower and returned to the City Lord's Mansion to get some follow-up news from the well-informed Urruti - after the three heads landed, the nobles of Palmer City realized that the young man who became the acting lord of the city was not a character to be messed with, on the contrary, he was more ruthless than his father, who only knew pleasure, and many nobles said that they had finally raised money to donate to the victims, and said that it was a contribution to the construction of Palmour, and it was all voluntary, and there was no need for the city lord's mansion to compensate him.
For these gold coins sent to the door, William, the acting city lord, did not refuse to come, accepted all the orders, and soon raised enough money to relieve the victims of the city.
In fact, William advocated to resist the besieging enemy with all his might, which was a big gamble in itself, and if he lost, it would be completely over, and his life would be lost, but if he won, the harvest would also be very huge, and he didn't have to care about the wealth mortgaged in order to raise war supplies, because the power and prestige brought by this victory alone were ten times more valuable than these wealths。
Therefore, in only three or four days, order was restored in the city of Pamor, and not only were the affected people properly settled, but also because of the need to repair the houses and cities damaged by the war, to build a large number of buildings and stones, to recruit craftsmen, and so on, many caravans came to the city, and it seemed to be more lively than before.
On the fifth day, it was the day to hold a banquet to reward the meritorious warriors, and those soldiers who had made military achievements in the barracks had been promoted and rewarded as early as after the victory, and on this day the rewards were all Mole and their practitioners who did not belong to the army, some of whom lived in the city of Pamore, and some of whom were mercenaries and travelers who happened to meet them, all of whom had made great contributions in the battle, and there were more than fifty people.
Moller stood in the crowd, watching William's passionate and generous speech, but in his heart he was estimating the reward he could get, his merits were not small, among these people, except for Hudson and the big-nosed old man, he and Pace and a few other high-level powerhouses had the greatest credit, and even if it was Pace, who was a high-level magic archer, his combat achievements were probably not as much as him!
After William's speech, sure enough, the first to come forward to accept the commendation were Hudson and the old man with a big nose, but before William announced the reward for them, the two old men first proposed to hand over the powerful 9th-order magic weapon of the stunner to William, because most of the precious materials for making it were provided by the City Lord's Mansion, and besides, it was useless for the two of them to keep such a big killing weapon for the two old men who were dedicated to studying enchantment knowledge.
As soon as the two old men announced this, the people present were very surprised except for Mole, who had expected it too early, and the whole hall was silent for a moment, and then many nobles looked at William with a look of fear, they already had power and popularity, and now they were in charge of a terrifying 9th-order magic weapon, who else in the city of Pamore would dare to resist?
Of course, this abnormal expression only lasted for a few seconds, and soon everyone reacted, praising the two old men's high spirits and praising William's wisdom and wisdom, and the whole hall was suddenly lively.
William was also very happy, and repeatedly expressed his gratitude to the two old men, and when the rewards were announced, the two old men each got a very good magic manor, in addition to Hudson also got the Book of Cultivation, and the big-nosed old man got the Golden Elephant Greatsword, both of which are Tier 9 magic items!
Of course, there is also a big gap in the value of 9th-order magic items, the role of the Book of Cultivation is to promote the growth of magic plants, which is of great value to life-school magicians and potions, and the Golden Elephant Giant Sword is a powerful magic weapon, but it requires a demon warrior of corresponding strength to wield its power, and it improves the combat power of individuals, compared to it, the value of both for Pamore City is far less than a strong cannon that can kill a high-level powerhouse in seconds!
Pamore City, which originally had a strong guardian magic array, could only be regarded as a hard-shelled turtle, but now with a strong cannon, it has grown fangs and claws, and has become a "tiger" that people dare not provoke, which will have a greater advantage in the current situation of war, and people who understand this will only be hotter for William.
After the reward of the two old men, Moeller and Pace and others came to the stage together, a total of six people, only Moeller was an intermediate strength, and the others were all high-level powerhouses, but after so many days, people already knew his achievements and knew the power in his hands, so no one questioned this.
The reward for Moeller was two bottles of Tier 8 Mana Enhancement Potion and a Diamond Armor, as well as 1,000 gold coins, and Pace received a Tier 8 Mana Enhancement Potion and a Tier 8 Antidote in addition to an Tier 8 magic bow, as well as a bounty of 1,000 gold coins. The other rewards are also Tier 8 magic weapons and potions, as well as a thousand gold coins, which is not much different.
After the first two groups of people accepted the rewards, the remaining forty or so people received the rewards in groups of ten, and the magic items and bounty registrations were reduced, and Urruti got a 7th-order magic sword and 800 gold coins in the third batch.
Rex and Eriba in the last wave, both of them are not very old, which attracted a lot of attention, and the two of them each got two Tier 6 magic weapons and 5oo gold coins.
Rex was impatient to wait in line, but because he had gold to take, he endured it patiently, but in the end he found that he had received the least amount of gold, and he was a little unhappy, until Moller gave him three hundred of his thousand gold coins, and he was happy again.
Then came the lively banquet, and there was no figure of the city lord Marcchi from beginning to end, and no one asked unfamiliarly.
There was a lot of wine and food at the banquet, and the nobles, although they were flattering on the surface, did not actually make friends with Moller and the other mercenaries, so Moller had a lot of time to take Rex and Ereba to scavenge for food, and then sit down at the corner table to eat and drink, and have a great time.
After the banquet, Mole and his party stayed in the City Lord's Mansion for another half a month, because Lady Millian's father, the Duke of Leiden, was very angry about the accidents that his daughter had encountered on the way home, and decided to send his own Knights of the Guards to escort them, so they had to wait for the arrival of the Knights in Pamore City.
In the past half a month, Moeller has been concentrating on meditation, studying the humanoid image composed of several meditation pictures, and he now that if he composes this humanoid image in his mind, although the energy consumption is extremely high, the speed of mental growth is several times faster than simply measuring a meditation map.
According to the law of Moeller's strength growth, if you want to raise your magic power to the 6th order, your spiritual power must first reach the level of the 7th order, and he was originally worried that it would be difficult for him to cross the gap from intermediate to advanced before his magic power, but after the appearance of this humanoid image, this worry was easily solved. He believed that the seventh meditation diagram must be part of the complete humanoid image, and as long as he studied it more deeply, it would be a matter of course for his spiritual power to be raised to the 7th level!
And when Moeller was trying to improve his strength, Rex was also trying to grow taller, and after eating and drinking for half a month, he grew a head height, and now he looked about the same age as Ereba and looked like he was thirteen or fourteen years old, although the people in the city lord's mansion were surprised, but no one inquired.
Because he didn't know whether he was grateful for Moeller's righteousness that night, or knowing that he had contributed to the production of the batter, William was very kind to the two of their brothers, not only did they send the best water and drink, but from time to time some new magic materials from the market were sent, and Hudson and the big-nosed old man also remembered his people, and each sent their hearts.
