On the morning of May 22nd, Rand took Elsa Tieyan to the west again, and after a few days of replenishment, the personnel of the West 9 and West 10 Post Station Castle were in place, and Rand sent Elsa to the West 10 Post Station, where she joined the team of the High Knight Petraeu Lan Yuan, and they would continue west until they reached the Iowa Pass.

Outside the castle of the West 10 Post Station, Rand had already seen several barbarian tribes stationed there, most of these tribes were the tribes responsible for the transportation of iron ore, that is, the sales channel merchants. Since March, Neil has eaten several tribes responsible for transportation, large and small, so that after the iron ore mine resumes production, the transportation tribes have also completed a round of integration spontaneously.

"My lord, it is estimated that we will be able to reach the Iowa Pass within two weeks," Petraeu reported to Rand, "according to your request, the various post stations will provide trade and services to the surrounding barbarian tribes, and many barbarians will take the initiative to provide us with information about the passes. ”

"Have you seen a tribe of orcs lately?" In contrast, Rand cares more about orcs.

"There are barbarians who have seen it, but they are far away from us, and they have no ill will towards us" Petraeu looked at Rand and asked tentatively, "My lord?" How's going on Waynes' side? Did they just arrive in Night Qi City? ”

Petraeu Lanyuan led the people to the west, and his cousin Waynes Lanyuan started from the iron mine and went east, but Waynes's team went east by land, and on the 18th, they arrived at the Iron Mine first, waiting for the magical elf Teresa to open up eastward together after finishing his work in the new area. As cousins, Petraeu and Waynes competed with each other since childhood, and now they are each responsible for the development of things and things, so they naturally hold back their strength to surpass each other.

"They have just arrived at the salt mine, but Teresa is still in the new industrial area, and it is estimated that it will take two days to start exploring eastward, so you don't have to compete with him here, the key is to keep an eye on the reactions of the orcs and orcs," Rand instructed.

At noon, Lan Te quickly rode to the half-orc tribe in the mouth of the barbarians 50 kilometers away to investigate, but found that this was a mixed tribe of rabbits and half-rabbits, the tallest pure-blooded rabbit in the tribe, and the height was less than 1.7 meters. Hundreds of orcs built a large number of burrows around a hillside.

In front of a crypt, Rand rode the fire as obvious as a locomotive, and a rabbit man named Robert came up a few hundred meters away, and asked Rand very politely if he wanted to come over to rest and if he needed to have dinner, which made Rand himself embarrassed, and followed Robert into the cave to visit.

This is a small tribe, the total population is not more than 100, and it relies on the magic of the life system to treat and deliver births for the surrounding tribes every day to maintain the tribe's rations. The tribal elder's room even holds a migration certificate left by the God Emperor a thousand years ago, proving that the tribe is a legitimate inhabitant recognized by the Empire. Rand gave the rabbits some grain and monster meat, showing his willingness to keep peace with them, and left.

Now that the iron ore has arrived, the pressure of the orc court is becoming more and more real, and if you want to keep the fruits of victory, you can only improve your strength as soon as possible, and Rand, who is sure that there is nothing to do in the west for the time being, can only return quickly.

However, when he was about to arrive at Night Qi City, Rand heard that the portal in the ruins had been activated, and two people came, which were transmitted to Rand by the post station through a signal, that is, two people came, and they didn't specify who they were, so they could only ride directly to the foot of Padmila Mountain in a smoke, and finally met Tenya.

"Those two should be from the imperial capital, I took a look through the magic net, and there is a dwarf who is estimated to be similar to the mage Ben Kaul" Tenya's meaning is very simple, dwarves are legends.

"That's the legendary trumpet?"

"It's almost, the other one seems to be about the middle level, but his state is a little problematic, and he doesn't have the eyes of that legend or above!"

"Hey, really, why didn't you see any of them when the barbarians attacked Roth Castle?" Rand was a little helpless, he had seen legends too often lately.

"They're in your tent now, and they visited the magic workshop just now, so I thought Wendy couldn't stop them, so I asked Wendy to take them there."

"Okay, I'll go and meet them," Rand knew that he was a random legend in this place, and he wanted to come and go, and he would take it if he said he would take it for himself. However, Rand is not very worried, there is a reason why the two human empires have not been able to annex the Dragon Kingdom for thousands of years.

As soon as Rand entered his tent, he saw two men, a dwarf taller than the demon bearer, and a young man, of intermediate height, but with a clear eyebrow and a priest's robe.

"Ah, hello young man" the dwarf greeted Rand as soon as he saw him, "I'm Sherman, and this is Alexei Zhuochen"

"You're the Chief of the Salt and Iron Division?" Rand had seen the name on all the main salt iron pots, so he naturally recognized it.

"Yes, so don't be nervous, I just heard that you have different uses for boiling salt pots here, come and take a look" The dwarf smiled and said, "Don't worry, the cauldron that was sent to the salt mine back then was all delineated according to the elimination, even if you change the usage, I won't take it away!" ”

"Chief, isn't it good for you to publicize the financial skills of the Imperial Salt and Iron Division like this?" The young man on the side of the dwarf couldn't help it, "Hello Lord Viscount, I am the descendant of the legendary mage Zhuo Qin, and I came with Chief Sherman to see the city that my ancestors participated in building back then. ”

"Of course, I'll show you around" Rand didn't believe a word in his heart about the young man's words, but he still had to be polite.

A few people started chatting while riding east, "My lord, I visited your magic workshop with His Excellency Sherman, it's really amazing" Alexei sighed, "I didn't expect that an intermediate magic plant could still live in such a breeding tank"

"Don't the life magisters of the Imperial Capital have such thoughts?" In Rand's opinion, it is not only natural to use nutrient solution for soilless cultivation, but it is almost the same.

"No, for the mages of the life system, they don't need a breeding tank to make magic plants grow quickly, and they don't even think about adding life magic with earth and fire items."

Alexei's statement gave Rand some inspiration: "You mean, because they are very familiar, they will not bother to study other magic, which is a less familiar field for them?" ”

"Yes," the young priest smiled, "and the gurus are very good-looking, and I'm embarrassed to ask for other gurus."

What Rand didn't expect was that both the legendary dwarves and Alexei were very good people to talk to, and they were willing to share all kinds of information about the imperial capital with Rant, and even made some suggestions.
