According to the normal cost, the smallest castle can be built with seven or eight thousand gold coins, and Richard has additional requirements for defense, so the cost will exceed 20,000. Bayi Chinese Network also needs to rebuild roads, which is also a big expense. But in any case, in the early stage of the project, five thousand gold coins are definitely enough.

Seeing Richard, the knight saluted respectfully, but at this time, the aristocratic etiquette could not make Richard's mood better.

"What's going on? Why is this the only one working?Are you going to rely on this little man to build me the castle little by little?, Pierce, where has he gone?" Richard's voice grew harsher.

Cold sweat was already oozing from the forehead of the knight, and he found that this young master, who looked delicate and gentle, had a majesty that made people's hearts palpitate once he was angry. "Lord Richard, you originally instructed me and Pierce to hire craftsmen from the Barony of Fontaine to procure stone and lumber......"

"That's right. Richard nodded, and then saw the face of the knight, frowned, and asked with a sneer: "Why, there are not enough gold coins for you, you can't buy things, and you can't hire people?"

The knight smiled bitterly and said, "The gold coins you gave are supposed to be enough. But now, it is true that things cannot be bought, and people cannot be hired. The new Baron Fontaine increased the price of all building materials tenfold, and the salaries of hired workers tenfold. At this price, we don't dare to make our own decisions at all, and we can only decide when you return from the dukedom. ”

Richard showed a slight surprise on his face and said, "So, it was Baron Fontaine that he deliberately didn't want to sell to us." ”

The knight cautiously said, "We think so too, but this is your order, so we will continue to fight no matter what." So now Pierce is still in the castle of the little baron, and I'm going back one step ahead of the crowd to recruit men first. But as you can see, there are only so many people, and materials can only be made locally. ”

Richard nodded, didn't say anything, but slowly walked around the construction site again, and then said slowly: "It seems that some people don't want me to build a castle in this place......"

"My lord, then ....... now," the knight asked carefully. He had been following Richard for a short time, but he felt more and more that he couldn't see through the young great magician, and now, as long as Richard made a face, he would feel inexplicably afraid.

"You continue to manage the construction site, and the construction of the castle does not stop. Tomorrow I will personally go to the Castle of Twilight. With that, Richard returned to a two-story wooden building that the camp had built for himself, spread out a copy of the map he had obtained from the duke, and looked at it against the roster of the surrounding nobles provided by the duke, and thought about it as he could.

It wasn't long before there was a soft knock on the door, and quicksand walked in.

"Why don't you take a break after a day's journey?" Richard smiled and put down the roster in his hand, and directly reached out and grabbed the quicksand.

Quicksand snorted, slapped Richard's hand hard, and said, "Let's get down to business first!"

Richard's hand ached, but he didn't put it down, but he didn't make any further movements, but said, "Okay, let's talk, what's the right business? After that's the business, we still have business to do!"

Quicksand was furious, bit Richard on the shoulder, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Day and night, you're not afraid of magic downgrade?!"

Richard laughed and said, "How can it be? When you are doing business, your magic surges, and you can use it to comprehend a lot of magic and constructs!"

"Hmph! It's getting more and more improper, and you're a great magician like you?"

After being with quicksand for a long time, Richard's face gradually thickened: "According to Norland's standards, I'm still far from the Great Magician!"

Quicksand heard Noland, the original smile on her face suddenly disappeared, she sighed faintly, straightened up, and said to Richard, "Do you have any thoughts about returning to Norland?"

"There is no solution, but there are a lot of ideas. Richard let go of the hand holding quicksand, pulled her to the map, and said with a smile: "We have actually opened up the situation now, and the next thing we need to do is to improve our strength and increase the possibility of survival." The avenues are nothing more than resources and war, and as long as there is a way to sell your builds, we will have a steady flow of gold. Wealth can be exchanged for magical materials, slaves, territories, and even mercenaries, as well as some normal trade. Now that I have fought so many battles, in a small battlefield with a scale of about 1,000 people, as long as the strength does not differ too much, I am sure to defeat my opponent. As long as we can continue to defeat the enemy, we can get the two materials we need the most, the Magic Crystal and the Ancestor Worship Totem Altar. With them, the brood will continue to grow. ”

Finally, Richard put his hand on the bloodstained land a little harder, and said, "In less than three years, we will be able to control this land!"

Quicksand looked at Richard's side face and found that he had gradually become confident and decisive since then, and began to take responsibility. She sighed secretly in her heart, and also cast her eyes on the map, saying, "The ancestors worship totems, but the effect is not as good as the statue of the temple!"

Richard was taken aback, and said with some hesitation: "That is equivalent to an open war with the true gods, and even if it can, at least it will be said when we open the passage back to Norland." Only by returning to Norland can we have the strength to resist the legendary powerhouse. ”

"Maybe going back isn't as difficult as you think!" Quicksand said slowly, caressing Richard's face.

This time Richard was really taken aback, looked up in astonishment, and said, "What? We can go back?"

"Of course it's not that easy!" Quicksand waved his small fist and smashed it on Richard's head before saying, "We can't go back, mainly because we have lost Norland's coordinates in the Faro plane." Nor is our own power strong enough to be able to navigate the guò spatial positioning. But when we were describing the impossible Divine Grace of Time to Duke Bire, it suddenly occurred to me that it was not completely impossible to achieve. ”

"What? can you really build an altar to the dragon of eternity and time?" Richard was taken aback again.

Quicksand gave him a bad look, smashed him again, and then said, "Of course it's not an altar, the altar that the dragon of eternity and time has not made a mark on is useless." But the Book of Time in my hand can be linked to the Dragon of Eternity and Time, and we can try to get Norland's coordinates directly from it. And now in the Faro plane, we also know the location of the two Time Beacons, and by removing their materials, we can rebuild a Time Beacon, which is the basis for the return Norland portal!"

Richard screamed in annoyance and said, "Why didn't I think of this way a long time ago!"

Quicksand looked at Richard, sighed again, and said, "Richard, this is the ...... It's not as easy as you think. ”
