Although he and Raymond were old friends, Toussaint had only been to Hydington a few times, and almost always in the form of ghost ships, so it was no wonder that the soldiers in the harbor did not know him.

It was the first time he had been inside Headington.

Toussaint said to Raymond, "I was sent by Lord Netheris, and I have something very important to look for you. ”

"Netherris?" Raymond was startled for no reason when he heard the name.

After a series of previous events, Raymond, like his father Thor, has an instinctive fear and vigilance of those behemoths.

At this time, Rickett and the others also came over, and when they heard Toussaint's words, everyone was also shocked. Dealing with dragons really scares everyone.

Hearing that Toussaint had come to Raymond on the orders of Netheris, everyone subconsciously felt that it must be no good.

The she-dragon won't ask us to do anything, will she? Or did her baby get hurt too badly and hang up, so she settled the score?

Just when Raymond's mind was in a hurry, Toussaint seemed to see his doubts, and couldn't help laughing: "Lord Raymond, you are really too worried. I'm here because I have something to give you. ”

"Something?" Raymond wondered, "What is it?"

Toussaint glanced around a little embarrassed: "It's too small here, can you go to a bigger place?" ”

"What do you mean by a bigger place?" Raymond wondered if he was going to give himself something big, but Toussaint was alone, and he didn't see anything with him.

"Uh... You'll know when I take it out. "Toussaint Road.

Seeing Toussaint's insistence, Raymond led him to the reception hall of the town hall, which was the most spacious place in the town hall, where meetings and banquets were usually held.

Looking at the living room space with satisfaction, Toussaint took out a black bracelet from his arms. This bracelet is only the size of an average person's wrist. It is dark and dull, and there is no material to see, and there is no decoration on the surface, which is unpretentious and inconspicuous.

"That's it. He smiled at Raymond.

The people standing in the back couldn't help but glance at each other, and they all felt that Toussaint was playing tricks. It's just such a thing, and you still need to come to the living room?

I didn't seem to see everyone's strange expressions. Toussaint seemed to remember something, and patted his head: "I almost forgot, there are still things inside." ”

As he spoke, he held up his bracelet and whispered a string of incantations from his mouth.

Immediately after, everyone saw a scene that shocked them.

Like a splashing spring, a golden "fountain" surged into the air in an instant. This was followed by the sound of a tinkling of rain, and countless gold and precious stones converged into a shining torrent and erupted from the small bracelet. Soon stacked in the spacious living room.

Faced with this scene, everyone was stunned. Now there was only a dazzling golden light in their eyes, and the sound of tinkling in their ears was loud, and they saw a mountain of gold and precious stones, gradually taking shape in the reception room.

The gush lasted for several minutes, during which time Raymond and the others stayed there like statues, completely unresponsive.

As the last torrent gushed out, the gold coin fountain was over. Subsequently. Toussaint picked up the bracelet and shook it in his ear, patting it with his hand. As soon as he heard a loud sound, a gold coin reluctantly fell out of the bracelet, bounced on the ground a few times, and rolled into the pile of gold coins.

Turning around, Toussaint smiled at the dumbfounded crowd: "Lord Raymond, that's it. ”

The body is as if it has been electrified. Raymond came back to his senses. He couldn't help but say a little sluggishly: "These things..."

"This is a little thank you that Lord Netheris has given me to thank you for saving her child. Toussaint explained.

"You were able to keep your promise and successfully free the young master from the necromancer's control without killing it, and Lord Netheris is very grateful. She also knows that you have paid a great price. So let me bring these gold coins and gems as a token of appreciation. ”

Only then did Raymond understand what was going on, and he couldn't help but have a great impression of Netheris, saying that the dragons didn't seem to be so bad.

As if until he was thinking about something, Toussaint leaned in and grinned, "Lord Netherres knows that you are a little dissatisfied with her. ”

"Ahem," Raymond coughed dryly, a little awkwardly.

Dusan pretended not to hear and continued, "But she asked me to tell you that she is not like the stingy blue dragon to death, and that anyone who helps her will be rewarded handsomely. ”

"So, please laugh at these things. ”

At this time, Raymond didn't even want to say polite words. Hairington was worried about the lack of money, and the sea dragon sent half a room full of gold coins.

With this money, the next battle can finally be carried out smoothly. Otherwise, Haydington would not have been defeated by Renard's army, but would have lost to poverty.

At this time, other people also walked over and looked at Qian Shan in half of the living room with admiration. Of particular interest was the fact that all the money was taken out of a small bracelet.

"Is this a space magic item?" Freddie asked.

Toussaint didn't hide it, and simply handed the bracelet to everyone: "That's right, this is the most top-notch magic item, and it is the most precious collection of Lord Netheris's treasure. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that it was difficult to carry so many gold coins, the adults wouldn't have taken this out. ”

Everyone took the bracelet and looked at it in amazement, but they didn't know how to use the spell, and this thing was just an ordinary artifact in their hands.

"That's a good thing. Rickett exclaimed, "If you have it, you don't have to worry about carrying things anymore." ”

Toussaint said: "No kidding, this space bracelet is priceless. Even my master, a dragon with infinite wealth, would never give it to anyone else. ”

"Besides, if it's precious, Mistress Elebena's ring is the real treasure. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone immediately remembered Ellebena's spatial ring. At the beginning, she easily put tens of millions of gold coins into the ring, and everyone still remembers that scene vividly.

"Damn, those dragons are all local tyrants!" Rickett concluded.

"Well, the things have been brought, and I should go back. "Take back the bracelet. Toussaint bids Raymond his farewell.

"Thank you so much, you don't know how much this money means to us. Raymond sent him out the door.

"Hehe, this is what Lord Netheris wants to give you, I'm just a delivery person. Toussaint laughed, "Besides, these coins only account for a small part of Lord Netheris's collection. ”

"Tuhao!" Raymond couldn't help but say in his heart.

"By the way, the undead have been defeated by us. The necromancers were all hidden, nowhere to be seen. Raymond said seemingly casually: "If your master wants to avenge his son, he might as well go and find it." ”

Toussaint's eyes lit up when he heard this: "I understand, I will tell her." In fact, Lord Netherres will never let those bold ones go, but she has a second child to raise, and now is not the time. ”

Raymond nodded in understanding, as long as Netheris had the heart. Although the sea is Netheris's main area of activity, there is a dragon that will not make it easy for those necromancers.

"Lord Netherres is pleased with you. "Before leaving. Toussaint said to Raymond, "She asked me to tell you that you can go to her if you need it in the future." ”

"Of course, there's a price, right?" Raymond asked rhetorically.

Toussaint patted him on the shoulder, gave him a "you understand" expression, and left Headington.

Raymond returned to the meeting room, where Rickett and the others were gathered in front of the mountain of money. Seeing Raymond, Rickett said excitedly: "Lord Raymond." I guess sell those gems, plus these gold coins. At least 50 million, we don't have to worry about money anymore. ”

"Good. Raymond nodded: "Time is running out, let's start preparing for the battle to recover the Kingdom of Gaspard immediately." ”

"Yes!" the crowd agreed.

"Lord Raymond, are you really going to do this?"

Following behind Raymond, Freddie couldn't stop talking.

Raymond said as he walked: "That's right, I saved the sea dragon last time." Actually, it's all up to Kress and Gru. Gru didn't have to worry about it, but the money should have a part of Kress. ”

A few days ago, in gratitude to Raymond for saving his son, Netherres sent a huge sum of money to relieve Headington's urgent need.

But what Freddie didn't expect was this. Raymond insisted on giving a portion to Kress. Freddy's persuasion was still ineffective, so he could only follow Raymond to the residence of the Lowellers.

In the last battle with the sea dragon, Kress was seriously injured, but after drinking the dragon's blood, his physique was different from ordinary people, and now he is a living dragon.

When Raymond and Freddie walked to their residence, they saw Cress practicing his sword from a distance. He took off his shirt, revealing a body as strong as iron, and in each hand he held a thick iron rod to exercise his arm strength, and was dancing vigorously.

Surprisingly, Lorna was here. The girl took off her knight's armor and changed into slim civilian clothes, she has developed a lot during this time, and her body has a seductive curve, and she is no longer the thin girl she was at the beginning.

At this moment she sat quietly in a corner, intently wiping Kress's saber and iron.

"Lord Raymond, why are you here?" Seeing Raymond, Kress stopped exercising.

"Mr. Cress, how are your injuries?" asked Raymond.

"It's been a long time coming, and the decisive battle with Gru is still a while, and I've been panicking lately. As if to prove it, Kress flicked his arm, and Raymond immediately heard the squirming of his muscles with force.

Just standing in front of him, Raymond knew that the current strength of Kress had advanced to another level.

"I'm here because I have something to tell you...", Raymond told Kress what he meant.

"What, money?" Kress was stunned, then shook his head repeatedly, "I don't need it." ”

"However, it is up to you to save the sea dragon, and of course I should give you a part. Raymond persuaded.

"Hehe, I'm a rough man, I only know how to use a sword. Kress still shook his head: "Money is of little use to me, besides, Lord Lord is very generous, and my salary in Loville is enough to spend." ”

"Besides, because of that battle, I was able to drink the dragon's blood, which is already the best reward. ”

Seeing that Kress insisted on refusing, Raymond was about to persuade him, but at this time, Jessica, Reed and others, who heard the movement, also walked out.

"Mr. Raymond. What are you doing here?" asked Jessica.

Raymond explained, and then said to Reed: "Since Kress refuses to accept it, then give it to the Lowville Chamber of Commerce." It just so happens that Headington has been taken care of by you a lot, and you have lost a lot lately. ”

Reed smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, but our Chamber of Commerce is never short of money." Besides, you're about to help Princess Sophia return to her kingdom, so you might as well keep the money. ”

See what they say. Raymond gave up. At this time, Jessica asked, "I heard that the undead have been destroyed by you, right?"

The news of Raymond's victory had already spread throughout Headington, and the people of Loveville had naturally heard about it. Raymond nodded, "The undead's forces have been almost cleared, but many necromancers, including Denek, have escaped and are still missing. ”

"That's terrible. Jessica sighed, "Those guys are a cancer in this world, even if there is only one left, sooner or later it will become a malignant disease that is difficult to clean up." ”

"Have you seen the emir?" Reed asked suddenly.

Zhilu said that he still couldn't forget his beloved apprentice, so Raymond had to say, "Yes." The emir has become a member of the necromancer once and for all. This time his covert operation caused the Sidonis sect to suffer extremely heavy losses. ”

As he spoke, he told the Emir about the evacuation of the entire Ravuit Federation.

"Hehe, he is worthy of the emir, and only he can do it. Reed said proudly, but his face was full of silence.

After the fall of the emir, Reed was devastated, and he was depressed for a long time. It's only been a little better lately.

In fact, Reed is only in his early 40s, as a businessman. He's in his prime, and it's not a problem to be at the helm of the Lowville Chamber of Commerce for another 2 or 30 years.

But after all, Emir is the successor he has cultivated with all his might, and he is treated by Reed as half a son and has high hopes, but in the end he ends up like this, which is really embarrassing.

Know the mood of Dao Reed. Kress patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "Forget it, let's open it, there are many things that can't be forced." ”

Affected by Reed's mood, the atmosphere at the scene fell into embarrassment for a while. Raymond coughed dryly. Changing the subject, he said, "By the way, what about Mr. Thor, why didn't you see his people?"

"Him. Jessica looked weird, "He's been spending time in Aliana's workshop lately, working on the thing called the cannon. I don't know why he's so interested in that thing. ”

Rumble!

Before Raymond could speak, he heard a loud bang from the direction of the workshop, and a puff of black smoke rose into the air.

"Alas, here it is again. ”

Holding Fiona, who was so frightened that she cried in her arms, Marlene said helplessly.

Thinking of Aliana's invention, Raymond's heart also burned. After all this time, what has come of that thing?

Bidding farewell to Jessica, Raymond and Freddy arrive at Aliana's workshop.

It's been a long time since I've been here, and the neighborhood around the workshop has completely changed. I saw that the ground around the workshop was full of potholes, all of which were blown open, and traces of fire could be seen everywhere, as if it had been bombarded by a meteor shower.

In a clearing not far away, Elina and Thor were crouching on the ground studying something, and there was a group of dwarves beside them.

"Ah, what the hell, it's blowing up again. For a moment, I heard Alina's wail, and then accused the dwarves: "You must have made a substandard barrel." ”

"Miss Alina, how can you say that. Ozama, the leader of the dwarven blacksmiths, dissatisfied, "We have cast the barrels according to your requirements. Suffice it to say, no one can do it better than us. ”

"I don't think it's the barrel either. Thor muttered, "There should be something wrong with the gunpowder." ”

"Really?" said Amina, disappointed, "but I've improved the recipe many times, and it's always hard to stabilize it, what do I have to do?" ”

In between their arguments, Raymond walked over: "Aliana, your invention seems to have encountered a lot of difficulties. ”

Raymond was the sole sponsor of the invention, and he also had great hopes for the thing called the Cannon.

"Don't mention it, I've been really annoyed lately. Alina, who was in a working state, was very researcher-like, and when she saw Raymond coming, she just waved casually, and then complained: "The formula of gunpowder seems to be wrong, but I have tried many times and still haven't found the best ratio." ”

said. The girl desperately grabbed her hair: "Wow, what should I do, this is obviously my most important achievement, how can it be so unsmooth." ”

"I heard you've killed the undead. At this time, Thor said to Raymond, "The next step is to help your princess restore the country." ”

Raymond nodded: "That's right, and then you have to face the attack of the mad prince." The situation is not optimistic at all. I was going to use the power of this thing, but now it seems that it is difficult. ”

That being said, Raymond wasn't as disappointed as Alina. After all, this is a new thing, and for him, it is good if Alina can do it, but if he can't do it, he doesn't have to fight.

Hearing Raymond say this, Thor was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something.

After a moment, it was as if he had made some kind of decision. I saw Thor pat Alina on the shoulder: "Hey." Girl, if you want to solve the problem of gunpowder as soon as possible, it is not impossible. ”

"What's the solution?" Uncle Thor, say it quickly!" asked Elena.

Thor whispered something in Alina's ear, but when Alina heard it, she immediately shook her head like a rattle: "What? Find my mother? No, absolutely not!"

"For what?"

"Uncle Saul. It's my invention, the most important thing I've ever made. How can you let my mother mix. Alina said firmly.

Thor advised, "But if you don't ask Marie for help, you'll have a hard time getting the gunpowder." ”

"Then experiment, continue to test, and continue to test until it is solved. Alina remained unwavering.

"That's right, it's not impossible, but what about the money?" Thor touched his chin: "I remember you've spent almost all the money Raymond has invested, right?"

"Those Fire Demon Crystals are cheap though. However, mining is labor-intensive. Not to mention the casting of cannon barrels, the cost of materials alone is worth a lot of money, and you think for yourself how many have been scrapped. ”

Seeing that Alina's face was getting more and more ugly, Thor continued: "I don't care, but I heard that Raymond has a lot of battles to fight in the future. I wonder if he has any spare money to invest in you..."

As he spoke, Thor squeezed his eyes at Raymond and Ozama.

Raymond understood, and immediately said in embarrassment: "Do you want to continue to test?" But recently, Headington's funds have to prepare for war, and the mining goblin workers have to be transferred to build fortresses, so it's a bit of a bit to continue to invest money..."

Ozama also said angrily: "Casting the cannon barrel is too labor-intensive, I already have a lot of other work there, if I want to continue to do it, I'm afraid..."

Alchemy, in essence, is a "magic" that burns money. No matter how talented Alina is, she needs financial support.

Under the singing and harmony of the three of them, the girl finally felt the crisis.

"Is there really no way to make any more investment?" she asked Raymond anxiously.

Although it is not appropriate to deceive the girl, Raymond knows that as an investor, he still has to squeeze when he should squeeze, so he shook his head and said: "I was preparing to march to Gaspard recently, and I really don't have much money." ”

"Uncle Thor—" Alina had no choice but to turn to Thor.

She wanted to beg Thor to pay for it, but asking Thor to pay was equivalent to letting Reed pay for it, and Alina chose to stay in Headington to open an alchemy workshop in order to become independent from her father. It was absolutely impossible for her to accept Reed's handouts now.

But if there is no money to invest, the research will not be able to continue, and in a panic, Alina is so anxious that she is about to cry.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Thor coughed dryly and whispered to Alina, "Okay, let Marie help you, so that the gunpowder problem can be solved as soon as possible." Besides, it's very common for alchemists to cooperate in research, and it's not a big deal. ”

"I know that you want to study it well, and then let Mary know it, so that I can prove to her what you are capable of. But this step was enough to shock her. ”

"Really?" asked Alina, looking up.

"Of course. Thor patted his chest and promised: "After it is done, people will also say that you are the real inventor, and that genius alchemist Marie is just your deputy." ”

Raymond listened to it and secretly admired, it was really clever, this eloquence can really bring the dead to life.

Sure enough, Saul's last words touched Alina, and she finally nodded, "Okay then." ”

After getting Alina here, Thor turned to Raymond and said, "Marie is still on the Modina continent, and time waits for no one, so I have to ask for your help in this matter." (To be continued......)
