153. The Count's Calling

Early on the morning of the 15th, Rand was about to leave the salt mines, when Ben Kaul and Pete Mane came to see him off.

"I'll probably stay a few more days," Ben explained to Rand,

"Although at dinner yesterday, I thought you were too squeezing Wendy, but when I think about it, I think I should strengthen the roads and buildings in the entire salt mine while the magic goblins are still there, and Pete's team is here, so I can test whether it runs smoothly."

"Thank you" Rand was glad that Ben was able to figure it out, and Ben's enthusiasm for the salt mines at least showed that he had made this place his own business.

Before leaving, Pete asked Rand quietly.

"My lord, you just leave Wendy here like this, and you are not afraid of this mage." Pete frowned unseriously.

"Pete" Rand smiled and patted Pete on the shoulder,

"Do you know why I was able to go from beginner to intermediate so quickly, and now to senior?"

"Well, of course it's because you're a genius," Pete was suddenly stunned by Rand's words.

"Because I'm never nosy!" With that, Rand rode on the fire and sped alone on the ice field. When Rand himself was on the road, he would put a whole set of tents, sleeping bags, magic jars, and supplies into the space ring, and everyone relied on these supplies to spend the night on the road.

But when he returned, only Agni accompanied Rand, and there was no other person to drag him down, and Agni Fire emitted a high speed that surprised Rand, and Agni and Rand seemed to form a film surrounded by wind and fire in front of Rand, and Rand rode on Agni and couldn't feel the cold of heaven and earth at all.

From early morning to noon, Rand found that he had already walked half the way, and in order to reward Agni, Rand specially prepared a mixture of magic grain and monster meat, which was Agni's favorite food during this time.

When he set off again in the afternoon, the fire continued at high speed, and by the evening, Rand could already see the shadow of Night Qicheng, and he couldn't help but feel happy to think that he didn't have to spend the night in the night.

So, after feeding the fire another good dinner, Rand hit the road again, and finally arrived at the city at 9 p.m., exhausted.

After a day's travel, Rand slept unusually well, and the next day he opened his eyes tiredly until noon.

"In my dream last night, I actually dreamed of riding a horse to get a driver's license, and the examiner actually said that I was speeding," Rand woke up and was still recalling his bizarre dreams.

"Your Excellency, are you awake? What time did you come back yesterday, and I felt a little wilting as I passed the stables, "The first to come to Rand was Neil.

"Ah, how's the fire?"

"It's good, I haven't seen it for a few days, I feel like it's a big circle again, I should always follow you and have a breakthrough again" Neil mentioned Agni, always with some emotion.

"It is estimated that if it continues like this, it won't be long before it becomes an intermediate demonic beast. Neil turned his head and was happy.

"If we really break through the intermediate level, then our future black-scaled horse herd will be very powerful."

"Well, she will definitely be able to break through, how big is the fire, she has a lot of potential!" Intermediate Warcraft corresponds to mid-level professionals, and Warcraft at this level can exert influence on the population, so it can be said that if Agni can really break through the Intermediate Warcraft, there will definitely be several Warcraft horses in the black-scaled horse group where she is in the future.

"By the way, how's it going out there now? How many tribes have defected? ”

"About four or five, my soldiers said, and a few more medium-sized tribes are coming. I reckon we'll have 1,000 more people here after this winter," Neil's heralds had returned, and several small tribes had come back, which had run out of food rations and were being held up with long-haired sheep, and Rand was willing to accept them, which was a great blessing to them.

"My lord, I received a letter from Roth's territory yesterday, it is for you, let me find you as soon as possible" Neil said as he took out a letter, which was sealed with a wax seal on the outside of the envelope.

"Huh? The Count wants to summon all the vassals? After opening it, Rand discovered that it was a conscription letter from Count Maned Wolf, asking all vassals who received the letter to arrive in Maned Wolf City by February 25 at the latest.

"What does that mean?" Rand was a little puzzled by the contents of the letter.

"I think you'd better go to Roth and ask Lord Huck!" Naturally, Neil didn't understand the meaning of the letter, so he could only suggest it.

Today is the 16th, and Rand needs to get to Maned Wolf City in 9 days, which is not a lot of time, but it is still in time.

In the afternoon, Rand sent Lili out of the city first, because yesterday Rand was not killed on the day he arrived in Yeqi City, even earlier than the herald arrived, so Lili still learned from Rand yesterday that she needed to go to the salt mine the next day.

"My lord, you're too partial, aren't you" Lili in the carriage got out of the carriage as soon as she saw Rand seeing off on the side of the road.

"Can you bear to leave Wendy alone in the salt mines? As a best friend, I should spend more time with others."

"You can let Kai Yin pass," Lili was a little unconvinced.

"This mage has been teaching Wendy to draw magic circles every day for the past two days, you better not fall behind, if you can't become a high-level or middle-level mage in the future..." Rand had a wicked smile on his face, as if he was talking about letting a few girls marry other nobles.

"My lord, I've been working for you, you can't just leave me alone" Lili heard what Rand meant, and acted more anxiously.

"So you have to practice quickly" Whether it is Wendy, Lili or Rand, Ben or the Galloping Horse family, everyone knows that in the harsh conditions of the magic plain, every magician is a very valuable resource, and it is impossible for Rand to let any girl go.

However, Rand usually likes to play with the girls' families, especially after getting their families back.

The girl hugged Rand goodbye and got into a carriage to go to the salt mine, while Rand rode to the ruins of the workshop, 20 kilometers east of Yeqi City.

Ben had told them about the area where the workshops had once gathered, and when they did, Rand saw first a grove of trees, then a hillside.

The tributaries of the galloping horses flow between the slopes and the woods, and the bottom of the slopes has been artificially carved into caves, as well as some artificially leveled foundations and masonry all over the ground.

Rand entered through the cave and found some huge caves that seemed to be the remains of blast furnaces used for iron smelting, and the layers of magic circles carved on the ground had lost their light, but the huge space and the traces of magic left behind still shocked Rant.

Outside the cave there were also deep pits that looked like they had once been waste pools, now overgrown with lush weeds, and a few slightly smaller caverns with looming fire runes.

Obviously, this is the site of an industrial area, with convenient transportation and terrain, and the location is also very hidden, quite close to Night Qi City, and Rand is very satisfied, and feels that he can reuse this place in the future.
