Through the sight of the kite shapeshifter, Brandon saw a slightly distorted translucent cover in the woods, and immediately controlled the kite shapeshifter to spew out a cyan wind cone magic attack.

This kite shapeshifter beast is the transformation stone that Brandon prepared for him when he left Night City, although it is only an intermediate level 6, but its speed and attack power are very good, the wind cone hit the translucent shield, the shield twisted violently for a while, and finally revealed the figure inside, it was a female magician with a suspicious face, who was thin and small, and was holding a few lead-gray transformation stones in her hands.

Although the other party was a woman, Brandon, who had been killed one after another yesterday, had already had murderous intent in his heart, and he didn't have any mercy at all, not only controlling the violent attack of the kite transformation beast, but also inspiring another transformation stone with two hearts, transforming into a 6th-order snow-white demon wolf transformation beast, and rushed over to flank it.

At this moment, a phantom figure flew up from the ground, crossed a distance of more than ten meters in the blink of an eye, and devoured Brandon, who was concentrating on attacking.

"Poof!" a windless arrow flew silently, as if it had been pre-designed, and struck the shadow and pinned it to the ground. The Phantom Shadow turned out to be a blue-bellied and black-scaled poisonous snake, obviously a demonic beast, which was shot through seven inches by the arrow and did not die immediately, but wrapped around the iron arrow, constantly twisting and struggling.

"Boom, boom!" The female mage who was forced to use the lead-gray transformation stone to transform into several gray monkeys and fight against Brandon's two shapeshifters.

This female Transfiguration magician is also an intermediate 6th order, but the head-to-head duel is obviously not Brandon's opponent, Brandon, who has been holding back his anger for a day and a night, attacks very fiercely, and the snow white devil wolf pounces agilely, bites the head of a gray monkey in an instant, and tears it off with a sharp pull.

After the kite continuously spewed out the wind cone, a pair of hooked claws poked out like a phantom, hooked the eyes of the other gray monkey, and flicked its wings more than ten meters away.

The female shapeshifter mage panicked even more when she saw that her shapeshifters were vulnerable, and she pressed her hands to the ground, trying to summon the shapeshifters who had been sent to attack the soldiers.

However, at her call, a red-haired paw struggled out of the ground, and was dragged back underground, never to be heard again.

Seeing that there was no escape, the female magician looked at the shape-shifting beast that was bombarding her protective shield, her expression was sad and resolute, and she poured a bottle of strangely colored potion with a flick of her neck.

The female magician who had drunk the potion was covered in a gray-green mist, and her face was extremely distorted, looking hideous and terrifying, but she did not choose to continue attacking, but the whole person rose into the air, and fled at great speed like a mad beast.

Brandon, who was still furious just now, couldn't help but sigh after seeing the female magician's actions, and gave up blocking - the potion that the other party drank was not a high-end product, although it could have extremely fast speed and an injurious body in an instant, but at the same time, it would also make her lose her life in a day!

After dealing with the female magician, Brandon ordered the soldiers to continue their meals and rests, without explaining what had just happened, and he himself laid out a blanket and lay down on it and fell asleep.

The soldiers, who were still a little frightened, saw that their adults were so relaxed, and they all guessed that the secret enemy had been solved, although they didn't know who shot the arrows repeatedly, but they were also affected a lot more calmly, and began to do their own things according to Brandon's orders.

However, the soldiers had eaten breakfast and were ready to go, but Brandon still did not give the order to leave, but let everyone rest in place, and the soldiers who did not sleep well last night did not suspect him, and they all sat and took a nap, and after sleeping for an unknown amount of time, suddenly there was a loud roar, and an eagle cry woke everyone up.

Brandon, who had been sleeping soundly on the blanket, sat up, without a hint of sleepiness in his eyes, looked into the depths of the forest, and smiled with a smile on his face, and then ordered everyone to get on their horses and set off from the camp.

Walking at the front of the line on Patana, the demon wolf borrowed by Moller, Brandon was in a good mood, holding the two-headed flying lizard in his arms with one hand, and taking out the magic communicator in the other, and said to the other one, "Thanks, Ereba Ireba!"

"No, haha, that beast master's net worth is good, a small fortune!" Eriba's voice came out of the communicator, looking very pleasant, and then said, "Ask Rex how things are going." ”

After a while, Rex's voice sounded in the communicator: "I'm normal here, I haven't seen those guys who make shields coming, I'm afraid they got news from you, I don't dare to come, I'm waiting to burn it!"

The magic communicator used by the three of them is a high-end product specially made by Moeller, which can not only prevent monitoring, but also has the function of "group chat".

The countermeasure that Rex and the others discussed yesterday was to "change generals". Rex was in the camp and secretly left to take Ereba's team, while Ereba came to support Brandon.

As a result, with the cooperation of Ereba and Brandon, they really solved the enemy who secretly attacked them - it was a combination of a Transfiguration mage and a beast master, and the means were very hidden, if it were not for the magic archer Ereba who was very sensitive to a qiē movement, Brandon's team was afraid that they would really be dragged down by these two.

Rex's own team had broken up into a team of ten, and took a secret route to the agreed place to meet, believing that the three wounded enemies would not have the energy to split up and block the attack, and he himself took Eriba's face-changing scroll, pretending to be Ereba and waiting for those who could form a shield array.

"Regardless of whether the other party comes or not, let's gather in Ape Mountain and give the Searle Kingdom a little color!" "Ape Mountain is the border of the Searle Kingdom, and the destination of Rex's three troops.

On the other hand, Moeller learned about the situation of Rex's battle, and knew that they had solved the trouble, so he didn't care anymore, just let them be careful, and then he himself asked Xia Li and Serqi to form a patrol team to patrol the various towns and fortresses in the territory of Dongfeng Ridge, in case the army of the Kingdom of Ser sneaked deep and wreaked havoc within them.

In the evening, at the end of the day, Moller came to a house in the palace decorated with this golden glass dome. A magic crystal tower more than ten meters high stood in the center of the room, protected by layers of magic arrays, exuding a strong magical aura. A few magic crystal plates stand outside the protection, and some magic lines connect to the magic crystal tower.

One of the things Mole was most satisfied with from the capture of Sayo was the Magic Pylon that allowed him to enter the world of magical messages. Through the world of magical information, he can grasp the movements of the entire continent in real time and communicate with other magicians. It's much easier to even buy supplies - even in times of war, some of the big magic firms have the means to ship goods for you - as long as you can afford the high shipping costs.

Moller used his magic crystal card to log in, and he could see that Ed and Barcelo in Night City were doing well, and their funds had risen to more than 40,000, in order not to affect their business, Moller didn't spend much, and only used a few hundred gold coins to buy some materials related to magical buildings such as the Mage Tower.

In the past, large magical items such as the Mage Tower and the Magic Airship were quite far away from Moller, so he didn't pay much attention to this consultation, but now he needs to study it carefully.

After carefully reading the materials he had purchased, Moller realized that the tower he was going to build in Zayo City should actually be called a "magic tower" instead of a "mage tower" strictly speaking.

The Mage Tower is generally a magic fortress built by a powerful magician or force, almost all of which are made of magic materials, with powerful magical power, an extremely stable structure, and strong defensive capabilities. The interior can be arranged to expand the magic of the space of the stable dìng, which can be used for magicians to live in, and carry out magic experiments, and can also attack externally, and it is a magic building that integrates all aspects of function.

Like the nine-story mage tower of the Nine-Star Enchanter Association, it can not only accommodate thousands of people, but also has many alchemy rooms that can be used for enchantment experiments, and can also fly through the air at critical moments, and the power of the self-explosion attack has caused the magic masters to be hit hard, and the cost of such a mage tower is definitely calculated in millions of gold coins.

The Magic Tower, on the other hand, is a building used to cast magic. It is a tower-shaped building engraved with a magic circle that can assist in the casting of large magic and can unleash magic attacks.

There is a difference between a mage tower and a magic tower, like the difference between a sparrow with all kinds of organs and a toy sparrow that will "chirp" when you blow it.

The magic tower that Moeller wants to build is a magic tower that can help him cast a large 9-order magic, which should be called a 9-order magic tower according to the grade, although the name is very similar to the nine-story mage tower, but the cost is estimated to be only more than 200,000 gold coins, and if this money is used to build a nine-story mage tower, it is estimated that it will not even be able to build a foundation.

Although the magic tower is far inferior to the mage tower, Moeller is still looking forward to it, according to the information collected from many sources, he has carefully designed the structure and magic array, and has to inspect the construction site in the center of the city every day, and strictly control the quality of the project.

Although the cost of more than 200,000 gold coins in the construction of large magic items is already a small amount, Sai Ruolin, who is in charge of finance, still said that there is a lot of pressure, after all, this amount is more than half of the national treasury.

"The stone used in the construction is mined by thousands of captives, and it doesn't cost much, and the tools are worn out and the workers hired don't have much cost, mainly the magic lime used in pouring, and you expect to be coated with magic metal inside and out after it is completed, which is a lot of money, and the time you ask for is too short, I am afraid that the treasury will not be able to make ends meet. ”

Sai Ruolin, who is in charge of the allocation of funds, worriedly reported the financial situation to Moeller: "The tax revenue of the entire Dongfeng Ridge in a year is about 150,000 gold coins, and the expenses that need to be spent everywhere throughout the year are about this amount, which is still not a natural disaster**, if it happens, the treasury will have to pay for relief." It has cost tens of thousands of gold coins to renovate the palace before......"

After a period of getting along, Saruline also probably figured out Moller's temperament, as long as he talked about business out of public intentions, even if it was to refute his decision, he would not be angry. Therefore, Saroline was much more bold when she spoke, and raised a bunch of difficulties in the matter of the magic tower, in the hope that Moeller could relax the construction period in order to relieve the pressure on the finances.

"I see. Moeller patiently listened to Celeline's report, then gave her a roll of parchment and said, "Look at these decrees, they should be able to improve the present financial situation when they are promulgated." ”

When Celeline heard Moeller's words, instead of being pleased, her heart tightened, and she wondered if it was a decree to raise taxes? No matter who was the ruler, raising taxes was not a good idea!

However, Moeller's decree made Sazoline stunned for a moment, only to see that it was written that the entry tax and business tax for individuals and small merchants were waived, and a series of preferential policies were given to the mountain people who came to trade, and it also provided a lot of convenience for foreign merchants.

Seruline laughed when she saw it, and she said to Moller: "My lord, these decrees are very good, and they can indeed increase income, but they can only be effective in the long run, and I am afraid that there will not be much improvement in the short term." ”

"Don't worry. Moeller said, "I will do it first, and then I will think of other methods, such as the many gold objects in the palace, which seem to me to be very unnecessary, and it is better to sell them to other nobles." Besides, if it really doesn't work, I can transfer some of my personal savings and pay them back to me slowly. ”

The author has something to say: I suddenly remembered the toys I had when I was a child, the kind of simple plastic toys that were filled with water and made bird calls when they blew
