Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 155 153. The Earl's Call

On the morning of the 15th, Rand was about to leave the salt mine, and Ben Kaur and Pete Maned Wolf came to see him off.

"I might stay a few more days," Ben explained to Rand, "although I thought you were squeezing Wendy too much at dinner last night, but when I went back and thought about it, I thought we should take the whole salt The roads and buildings in the mine have been reinforced, and it happens that Pete's team is here to test whether the operation is smooth."

"Thank you" Rand was very happy that Ben could figure it out. Ben's enthusiasm for the salt mine at least shows that he regards this place as his own business.

Before leaving, Peter whispered to Rand.

"My lord, just leave Wendy here like this, don't be afraid of Master Ben..." Pete winked unseriously.

"Pete" Rant smiled and patted Pete on the shoulder, "Do you know why I was able to advance from elementary to intermediate so quickly, and now to advanced?"

"Uh, of course it's because you're a genius, my lord." Pete was stunned by Rant's sudden question.

"Because I never mind my own business!" After saying that, Rand rode on Agni and galloped 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. Everyone spent the night on the road with these supplies.

But when returning, only Agni was with Rand, without other people dragging him down. Agni burst out at a high speed that surprised Rand. A thin film surrounded by wind and fire seemed to be formed in front of Agni and Rand. Rand rode on the Li Huo couldn't feel the coldness of the world at all.

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

When they set off again in the afternoon, Agni continued to move forward at a high speed. In the evening, Rand could already see the shadow of Yeqi City, and he couldn't help feeling happy when he thought that he didn't have to spend the night at night.

So after feeding Agni another high-quality dinner, Rand went on the road again, and finally arrived at the city exhausted at 9 pm.

After a day of running around, Rand got an unusually good night's sleep. It was almost noon the next day when he opened his eyes tiredly.

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

"My lord, are you awake? What time did you come back yesterday? When I passed the stables, I felt that the fire was a little wilting." Neil was the first to come to Rand.

"Ah, how about the fire?"

"It's good. I haven't seen it for a few days, and I feel that it has grown a lot. It should be that I have made a breakthrough after following you." Neil mentioned Agni, always feeling a little emotional. "It is estimated that if this continues, it will not be long before it will become an intermediate monster.

Neil turned his head and thought about it, and became happy. "If we really break through the intermediate level, then our future black scaled horses will be very powerful."

"Well, I will definitely be able to break through. How big is Agni, and she has great potential!" Intermediate-level monsters correspond to intermediate-level professionals, and monsters at this level can exert influence on the population. It can be said that if Agni can really break through intermediate-level monsters, In the future, there will definitely be several monster horses in the black scale horse herd where she is.

"By the way, how is it outside now? How many tribes have defected here?"

"Probably 4 or 5, my soldier said, and there are several medium-sized tribes coming. I estimate that after this winter, we can have another 1000 people here."

Neil's messengers have returned one after another, and several small tribes have come and gone. These tribes have run out of food rations and are struggling with long-haired sheep. Rand's willingness to accept them is a great grace to them.

"My lord, I got a letter from Rotor's territory yesterday, it's for you, let me find you as soon as possible." Neil took out a letter, and the outside of the envelope was sealed with a wax seal.

"Huh? The Earl wants to summon all the vassals?" After opening it, Rand found that it was a call letter from the Earl of Maned Wolf, requiring all vassals who received the letter to arrive at Maned Wolf City by February 2 at the latest.

"What does this mean?" Rand was a little puzzled about the content of the letter.

"I think you'd better go to Rotor and ask Master Huck!" Neil naturally didn't understand the meaning of the letter, so he could only suggest this.

Today is the 16th, and Rand needs to arrive at Maned Wolf City within 9 days. The time is not enough, but it is still too late.

In the afternoon, Rand sent Lili out of the city first, because Rand arrived at Yeqi City yesterday, even earlier than the messenger arrived, so Lili still learned from Rant yesterday that she needed to go to the city the next day. salt mine.

"My lord, you are too biased." Lili in the carriage got out of the carriage as soon as she saw Rand seeing him off on the side of the road.

"Do you have the heart to let Wendy stay in the salt mine alone? As a best friend, you should spend more time with her."

"You can let Kay go there." Lili was a little unconvinced.

"This mage has been teaching Wendy how to draw magic circles every day for the past two days. You'd better not fall behind. If you won't be able to become a high-level or middle-level mage in the future..." Rand had a smirk on his face, as if he was It is said that several girls will be married to other nobles for marriage.

"My lord, I've been working for you, you can't just leave me like this." Lili became more anxious when she heard what Lante meant.

"So you have to practice quickly." Whether it's Wendy, Lili, Rand, Ben or the Benma family, they all know that in the harsh conditions of the magic plain, every magician is a very precious resource. It is impossible for Lante to let any girl go.

However, Lante still likes to play with the girls, especially after finding their families back.

The girl hugged and bid farewell to Rand, and then got into the carriage to go to the salt mine, and Rand rode a horse to inspect the site of the workshop 20 kilometers east of Yeqi City.

Ben mentioned this area where workshops once gathered before they set off. When they got there, Rand first saw a forest and then a hillside.

The tributary of Benmahe flows between the hillside and the woods. The lower part of the hillside has been artificially opened into cave dwellings, and there are some artificially leveled foundations and bricks and stones all over the ground.

Lante entered from the cave dwelling and found some huge caves that seemed to be the remnants of blast furnaces used for smelting iron. Shocked.

Outside the cave, there is a deep pit that used to be a waste pond, but now it is covered with lush weeds, and there are looming flame runes in several smaller cave dwellings.

Obviously, this is the ruins of an industrial area, with convenient transportation and terrain, and a very hidden location, quite close to Yeqi City. Rand is very satisfied and thinks that it can be reused in the future.
