Another shocking news is that Richard is actually openly recruiting candidates for the construction of knights, which can only show that Richard has more construction on hand than the candidate knights.

Just when the Fushide Mansions were busy digesting these two news, the portal of the Eternal Dragon Hall finally moved, and it was Richard who came out of it.

It is said that when the news was known, the old Duke of Joseph almost fainted on the spot. And one duke, two marquises, and four counts of the Holy Alliance were all very irritable that night, and some even killed people.

After Richard returned to Norland, he immediately announced that he would hold a small construction conference in two days, which would only be open to the major nobles of Faust due to time constraints. At the same time, attendees will be randomly selected to present five Constructed Knight Mounts from Faro. As for the content of the build-up press conference delivered to the major giants, the description is extremely brief, indicating that only one third-order build-up will be released this time, and no build-up will be sold.

Is a third-order build enough to support a build launch? The answer is clearly no. Only in some very special circumstances, such as the Builder's initial presentation, will the absence of a third-order build be allowed. It's a convention. Generally, when a large constructor holds a press conference, there must be at least two third-order constructs, and they must be innovative to be reasonable.

All of the floating island giants were invited, even families like Schumpeter, Joseph, and Mensah, whose relationship with the Akmund family had fallen to freezing point. But every family is looking forward to tomorrow's launch, because this third-order structure is probably very special.

In addition, the floating island giants also took a keen interest in the constructed knight mounts that Richard brought back. The reason why the Constructed Knight is called a knight rather than a warrior is because the mount occupies a very important place in it. On the battlefield, the impact of knights and warriors is very different.

In the case of a limited number of builds and a limited average strength of the Constructed Knights, it is important to improve the strength of the mount. There are many families in the floating island that are good at cultivating all kinds of magical beasts, but in fact, the main purpose is to cultivate more powerful Constructed Knight Mounts. There are a variety of Constructed Knights' mounts, and there are no special category restrictions, as long as they are strong enough, the Constructed Knights who ride dragons have all appeared.

Soon after Richard returned to Norland, the news that he was already a sixteenth-level great magician immediately spread in Faust. Do the math, even if Richard stayed at ten times the speed of time every day, it would not take more than half a year to go from level fifteen to level sixteen!

Norland has produced many historical geniuses, that is, a Faust, who reached the sixteenth level before the age of twenty, and there are many geniuses of higher rank. However, most of them have undergone rigorous training since childhood, and have been working hard for more than ten years. Richard had only grown up in a small mountain village for the first ten years, and had not received any systematic training and cultivation at all.

Before that, more attention was paid to Richard's talent in construction, and his personal strength and rank have always been a flaw, even if his inheritance is dark blue, it has not made most people change their opinions. You must know that in the road of the strong, mentorship is only a shortcut, not even a cornerstone. Now, however, it is being found that Richard's rise in rank is starting to put pressure on them.

This night, Faust was destined to be unpeaceful. Many people are feeling uneasy about tomorrow's launch, some looking forward to it, some being restless.

Among these people, the most special mood is probably Luneau, another royal constructor of the Holy Alliance. This time, he also received the invitation, and he took a deep breath, not tearing the invitation to pieces like he did once.

He sat at his desk, staring at the invitation in front of him. The man's extremely strong black and white color scheme stung his eyes deeply.

It wasn't just Luno who was stung, but Vonst, who was standing next to him, was even more angry, and his originally handsome face was already resentful and hideous because of hatred. He wanted to grab the invitation and tear it up, and he wanted to smash it directly into Richard's face.

But even if Vonst's head was burned out by hatred, he knew that the latter could only be an imaginary scenario. He had also seen the duel between Richard and Mensa Jr., and knew that the result of his rush was to give someone else a cut of food. If he had clashed with Richard, the royal family would have been on Richard's side now.

But just a year ago, that was not the case. At that time, Vonst was already counting the days when he became a royal constructor, and Richard, at that time, who knew who Richard was?

Vonst himself couldn't do anything with Richard, but decided to consolidate Luno's hatred for Richard: "Teacher, this Richard is really arrogant, just a third-order construction is going to be taken out for a separate press conference, and all the real big people are invited! You can make more than a dozen third-order construction masters, and you haven't been so publicized in the past so many years!"

Anger flashed in Lu Nuo's eyes, but the years of the city government and the painful lessons made him forcibly suppress his anger, and said slowly: "Maybe there is something special about his construction this time, and it is also possible." ”

"But are you really going? It's a shameful thing! I think Richard really just wanted to sell the constructed mounts he got from the Alternate Plane. Vonst continued to provoke.

Luneau didn't say anything, just stared straight at the invitation. What makes this invitation unique is not only the design style, but also the fact that all the invited families and important people are listed on the inside page, such as the two high priests of Luneau, Nolan and Heaty, as well as the deputy head of the Dragon Temple Knights.

"I'll go. Luneau finally said, suddenly it seemed like ten years older.

Vonst didn't dare to persuade again, but he remembered something again and said, "Teacher, the royal family sent someone over yesterday to prepare to cut your supply of magic materials. ”

"What?!" Luneau slapped the table hard, angry.

As a royal constructor, his wealth is built on surplus magical materials. In the past, in order to keep him, the Holy Alliance gave him much better terms than the other two empires. This also makes Luneau, although the level is not as good as that of the royal architects of the other two empires, but his wealth is still surpassed. Moreover, his talent has reached the limit, and the hope of impacting the fourth-order construct lies in the small probability event that may occur after consuming a large amount of materials.

Luneau also knows that in recent years, he has handed in fewer and fewer builds, and the quality has also declined. But for the sake of the fourth-order construction, he didn't bother to care how dissatisfied the royal family would be. However, unexpectedly, after several years of enduring it, the royal family finally reacted.

It can be said that this decision of the royal family is a direct blow to Luno and the strongest statement.

Luno gritted his teeth and said, "It's all because of Richard!"

"Indeed! I've heard that he's offering the royal family an astonishingly low price! he's a dog who only licks the royal ass!" said Vonst.

Luneau's face flashed with a flash of greenness, and he said, "I'd like to see what he can do." ”

Back on the floating island of Akmund, Richard saw that everything in front of him was thriving. From time to time, wrestlers carrying heavy cargo boxes enter and exit the teleportation array, and guardrails are enclosed in many places, and craftsmen are working hard.

With a large amount of gold coins supported by Richard, the old butler had the confidence to renovate the facilities on the floating island. The floating island has been systematically renovated, with all areas segregated, and the castle's guards and magical defenses have been greatly strengthened. If there is another rebellion at the bottom of Akmund, they will first suffer heavy casualties in the magic circle after storming the castle and setting foot in the key area.

The training facilities in the barracks have also been improved, but the most prominent problem is that the training camps are too small. Originally, the land on the floating island was every inch of land, and among the fourteen wealthy families, only Gordon would also have a training camp on the floating island.

It has only been a dozen days since he left, but there is an extra stack of thick texts on Richard's desk, all of which need to be handled by him personally.

The main content is the tax and expenditure of the various family domains, as well as the relocation of the floating island training camp and the rebuilding of the site. Of course, there is more than one Akmund family training camp, but generally speaking, which branch is responsible for the day-to-day operation will more or less carry the imprint of that branch, so Richard believes that it is necessary to keep the floating island training camp and make some adjustments to the original charter. Wait for the conditions to be ripe before moving out of the floating island.

Coupled with Richard's request to recruit candidate Constructed Knights, strengthen the equipment of the Floating Island Guards, and increase the number of Floating Island Guards, the old butler estimated that the total family expenditure this year would exceed two million gold coins, and the estimated tax revenue of each province would not exceed 700,000. When Gordon was still alive, the total income of the family domain was close to 1.5 million, not including the income of the plane.

Richard quickly skimmed through all the reports and approved Ma Neng on the spot for his decision. Then he sat down in his chair, put his legs on the table, and began to think about what to do with the mess that Gordon had left behind.

The current situation in the territories is mixed, and the good news is that there are significantly fewer territories that do not pay taxes and pay less taxes this month than before. The bad news is that this is because there are not many vassal lords who are willing to pay their taxes honestly.

Among these events, including the Presbyterian Church of Akmund, which occupies the castle of the Black Rose, there is a looming figure behind the scenes, the Marquis of Sauron.

Richard wanted to see what Marquis Sauron wanted to do after tomorrow's build conference.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Richard's construction press conference was held in a small public temple in Faust. The temple was small and secluded, and it could only accommodate less than a hundred people, which Richard thought was large enough.

: I'm going to tell you sù that it's more exciting past 12 o'clock? Obviously not! Besides, there are too many chapters!
