Chapter 110 The Lively Fortress of Lightning

"The design drawing of the Magic Battle Banner is very complicated. Even if it is only the Battle Banner of the Bronze Ring, it will take several days to fully reproduce it. So, if you want the design drawings of the Whisper of the Wind Battle Banner ..."

Ledin's words made Bill more and more startled, and he couldn't help but interrupt directly: "Magic battle flag design? Ledin, you are not crazy, that is the essence of the magician's inheritance, if you really If you are willing to help our Gran family, then you can make three magical battle flags for our family’s children for free. I don’t want to hide such a terrible thing in the Gran family. It’s not me things to see."

Seeing the shocked expression on Bill's face, Redding knew that he had underestimated the preciousness of the magic battle flag, so he immediately said with a smile: "I wanted to play a joke on you, and look at the design of the magic battle flag in Granville. In the eyes of the family, it’s worth the little money! Seeing you like this, I won’t tease you anymore. I’ve agreed to help you make three magic battle flags. This is due to the good friendship between you and me. What a great gift!"

Bill immediately answered, "Then it's a deal!"

"That `s a deal!"

It wasn't until he signed the transaction contract written by Ledin in magic language that Bill said proudly: "Hey, I won't let you fool me! Although the design of this magic battle flag is extremely precious, it will take a lot of time to actually make it." The nose is strong, and there is not much market for that product. People like me who are used to business will not buy such flashy items that can’t be sold in a hurry! What we want is hard currency. Only glittering gold coins should be the dream of the children of the Gran family."

"You're right. Apart from the mage profession, I'm afraid not many legal professions are willing to work hard in these remote places. In order to express my apology, I simply give you a gift!" Seeing With Bill's earned expression, Ledding's mood is also good.

"What gift? Don't you want to use the seized materials from the Cliff Principality to make up for it? Since you have promised to make magic battle flags for me and my family, the benefits of sharing the spoils should be considered part of the reward. "Bill waved his hand at Ledin grandly, like a rich man who went to a small stall to eat and was too lazy to give change.

"The gift given by the mage will not be a metal with no added value! Show your chakra. When the gold rank is in the middle, the second position of the silver chakra should be opened. Although this position The engraved rune language cannot be used in conjunction with the previous two, but more strength is always more guarantee!" Ledding took out the inscription carving knife.

"Can you also engrave the rune at the second position of the Silver Wheel?" Although Bill was a little surprised, he still showed his chakras. Among the gold and silver wheels, there were indeed many silver wheels. an empty position.

"Have you seen a lot of mages who like to brag? You won't be allowed to choose this time. The sigh of the wind has a good effect, and after you enter the middle stage of the enlightenment element, it can match the rune of the golden wheel again. Come up with some good attacking skills." Ledin didn't give Bill a chance to choose, he did it directly.

When the Sigh of the Wind rune was completely engraved, Bill still had a dumbfounded expression—in the world of Enfas, the chakra system's rune writing skills will increase in difficulty as the number of chakra runes increases. , but seeing Ledin's ease, the brown bear knight has no doubt that even if he writes the fourth rune language, Ledin will never feel jerky.

"Have you practiced on your own body again? Don't destroy yourself too much. Every time you re-engrave the chakras, it is very uncomfortable, and the three-day reset period can grind people to death. Anyway, I am I don’t want to experience that kind of pain anymore, and our Gran’s family doesn’t have so many gold coins to squander, so you mages are extravagant enough.” After Bill came back to his senses, all he could do was sigh. Flawless, the rune language formed at one time, seems to have seen the hard sweat of Ledin during practice.

"Let's be friends, I can still help you with this small favor. With your advancement speed, it is still very easy for me to maintain your chakra system, so you don't need to waste gold coins to find those so-called chakras. It's time to write a master."

"What, I, Bill, am a genius. It's just that you are lucky enough to follow my footsteps. I don't believe that your fourth rune language can be opened earlier than mine." Bill naturally wouldn't Admit defeat, he has already made up his mind, and when he goes back to Xiongtou Mountain, he will retreat and practice for a few days, and study the inheritance mystery system in the blessing of the Earth Bear to see if he can break through the barrier of the elemental wall and advance to that dream in the high-level domain.

After solving Bill's matter, Redding's airship also arrived near Lightning Fort. He went to the observation position on the deck and looked down, and found that a team of tens of thousands of people was gathering not far away, slowly heading towards They should be the captives captured in the First Battle of Huxiao Gorge, and now they will all be transferred to slave miners and members of the labor reform engineering team.

In the world of Enfas, there is no guarantee of human rights such as the policy of preferential treatment of captives. The defeated party, except for the captured noble children, automatically become slaves—slaves are generally not in danger of life, because they Most of them will be converted into the subjects of the new lord, continue to work as cattle and horses for the noble class, and produce materials.

Many big nobles will distribute these captured slaves to their low-ranking nobles as rewards, because except for a few wealthy territories, ordinary noble lords don't have much surplus money at all. Servants, most of them will choose to use these cheap population to make up for the lack of economy.

After Lydin saw Shari's flag, he immediately asked the mages to lower the airship.

Shari, who was riding on the back of the little white unicorn, didn't pay much attention to the airship in the sky at first, but when she saw the hanging lightning emblem of the head of the Storm family, she no longer cared about her ladylike demeanor And the appearance - before the airship fell halfway, he ran directly towards the only open space not far away where the fat airship could be placed.

From a long distance away, Laiding saw the figure of Sha Rui—a half-elf girl running fast, her long flowing black hair fluttering in the wind, and her two pointed ears that protruded from her head were also swaying cutely , Ledding even felt that her lake-green eyes were exuding joy, and a sense of peace and happiness arose spontaneously.

Sha Rui's priest's robe is a gift from Ledin from the Kingdom of Trees. This golden-rimmed robe with a white background exudes warm energy of holy light—even in winter, Sha Rui doesn't need it. Wearing extra warm clothes, her slender beautiful legs playfully poked out through the hem of the robe, and her tender little feet were wearing exquisite high-heeled ribbon shoes. The feeling of attending a gorgeous feast.

If that warrior class dared to dress like this, I am afraid that the combat power would drop by more than [-]%, but on the body of the legal class, as long as a few simple low-level spells are used, all the bad effects can be completely eliminated—— Laiding has already noticed that the shoes on Sha Rui's feet are extravagantly equipped with the constant effect of the levitation technique, even if she walks on rough terrain, she will definitely not feel any discomfort.

"Ledding! Ledding!" Shari waved the exquisite spar staff in her hand, and shouted loudly in the direction of the airship.

This staff was also obtained by Ledin in the Kingdom of Trees. Due to the exclusive occupational restrictions of priests, it naturally became Sha Rui's exclusive weapon. The head of the staff is extremely eye-catching. Surrounding a fist-sized diamond of light like stars holding the moon, the elemental power of shadow and light, under the action of a special magic circle, has achieved a strange and harmonious sense of balance. , is constantly emitting soft energy radiance outward.

Hearing Sha Rui's crisp voice, Leiding, who always had a calm expression, suddenly felt an impulse from the bottom of his heart. He no longer cared about the rigorous style of the mage and the majesty of the lord, and jumped directly from the edge of the airship. Under the influence of the wings of the wind, he slid straight towards the position of the unicorn. After landing on the ground, Ledin directly hugged Sha Rui into his arms, and kissed her fiercely.

After a long kiss, Leiding let go of Sha Rui with some reluctance.The blushing girl didn't feel shy until this time. She poked her head out of Ledding's arms, looked around, and found that the guards and generals around her were very sensible and didn't come to disturb her. Only then did she feel relieved and jumped out of Ledding's warm embrace.

Sha Rui, who was holding Ledding's arm, said in a low voice: "Why did you come back so soon? Could it be that the matter in the Principality of Cliff has been settled? What about Angela, why didn't you see her?"

"Not long ago, I received a message from the Mage Tower in Port of Thunder. It is said that there is some unrest in the Dragonfall Swamp. Diarra's undead are about to make some big moves. It just so happens that the war in the Duchy of Cliff has come to an end. I rushed back first, Angela is still in Wanhai City, and there are still many things waiting for her to deal with!" Then Ledding told Sha Rui about the general situation of Cliff's trip. Fan.

"There is another news about the situation in the Dragonfall Swamp today. The assembled undead army actually started to build a city on the spot! Maybe the undead found some magic resources there, otherwise no one would guard it for no reason. In the desolate wilderness!" From the obvious actions of the undead army, Sha Rui easily grasped the truth of the incident.

"The specific situation needs to be investigated to be clear, but as far as we are concerned at Thunder Port, we must adjust our strategic deployment anyway, so that our soldiers will not be scattered in every corner of the territory when the undead army arrives at the door. Yes Now, how is the situation here at Lightning Fort, have the barbarians in the west started to make trouble?" When Ledin was speaking, he saw several figures approaching surrounded by Sha Rui's battle flag.

"Fort Lightning is very lively here!" Sha Rui laughed, and then told Ledding about the experience of the past few days.

In the past few days, the barbarians who infiltrated into the area of ​​Fort Lightning have been in bad luck!

At the beginning, Ortalan, who was visiting Lightning Fort with Shari, sent out all the noble mage troops under her command—with the help of these silver-rank mages, the barbarian stragglers hiding in the mountains were captured A lot of them were caught, and then these guys who were beaten stupidly wanted to unite. As a result, they had just assembled a 'big troop' of thousands of people, and they were discovered by the Harpy scouts from Fort Lightning. , just in time for Lei Minggang's army retreating from Huxiao Gorge, so Lightning Fort directly took away those robbers who caused disasters in the mountains and forests with the momentum of thunder sweeping.

"That's right. It seems that the barbarians also knew that we were under pressure in the south, so they rushed to die." Hearing Sha Rui's narration, Redding laughed heartily.

"With the mage troops you brought from the Kingdom of Trees, the barbarians on the Lightning Fort will not be able to cause much trouble at all! According to Viscount Elek and Lord Aldera, we should find a way to get those who settled in the mountains The underground races are all gathered, as long as they are willing to join our army, don't be barbarians, even if we rush out, it will be very easy to enclose a piece of territory in the Black Forest!" Sharui directly mentioned Papa Ledin and the idea— —The Storm family, full of fighting spirit, even in today's situation, has not forgotten the ideal of expanding the territory in the ancestral training.

"On the way here, I've been thinking about integrating that tyrannical force into the system of Port Thunder, but because I don't know the details of the tribes that live here, I haven't made a conclusion yet. Shari, tell me what you know, Tell us all the methods you can think of, and see what kind of gentle means we can use to pull out these powerful fighting races."

"For the specific situation of the underground tribes, you should ask them a few, the villagers always know better!" Seeing his subordinates rushing over, Sha Rui called Dekar, Ferenna and Feilan over.

Dekar is the Minotaur, Ferenna is the Medusa, and Ferran is the Harpy. The several powerful races in the dungeon are all occupied, which happens to correspond to the main tribe that settled in the mountainous area northwest of Lightning Fort.

"Tell me about the situation of those tribes in the mountains! I want to find a way to get them to join the Thunder Port army." Ledding said straight to the point.

"My lord, those tribes in the mountains are fundamentally different from us. Even when they were underground, they were never recruited by the lords everywhere, because in their traditional cognition, the lords and nobles simply cannot be trusted! When the army of dark elves came, these guys stood up and resisted, and they ran to the ground to beg for a living when they couldn't beat them in the end, it's not easy for you to recruit these diehards!" Ferenna said first .

"The tribes in the mountains are very poor, and most of them don't have the ability to produce tools and weapons. When I went to recruit soldiers a few days ago, their leaders asked me how to obtain supplies. Sir, if you can give Maybe people from these tribes will join your army after they send some supplies." When Feilan spoke, she was a little afraid to look into Ledding's eyes. In her eyes, the lord is the most powerful man besides the black dragon. creature.

"For us Minotaur, unless we can win the approval of the tribal shaman, otherwise everything will be difficult. If Lord Verdera is willing to intercede for you, maybe there will be something in this matter..." Dekar said with some uncertainty, although ordinary minotaurs are mostly stubborn, but without the instruction of the shaman, they would not trust outsiders easily.

……

Gradually, the status quo of the underground tribes in the mountains was revealed in front of Ledin's eyes—these strong warrior tribes did not trust outsiders, and because of the relationship between evacuation and their own abilities, most of them could not produce iron tools, and they were all around In the dilemma of material shortage, in addition, these tribes have leaders, and if they can be dealt with, things will be much easier.

Trust can be cultivated, and as long as there is a good start to the transaction, this deadlock can be broken. Ledding is confident in this—with the reputation of an orthodox academic mage, I am afraid that in the Enfas plane, no There is no group more trustworthy than them, and while the underground races don't understand this, they will in time.

As for ordinary ironware and standard weapons and equipment, although Lei Minggang does not have a rich output, if he really wants to make up, he can even purchase some from the Gran family on Xiongtou Mountain, which is naturally no problem.

In the end, Verdera of the Black Horn Clan is now a gold-ranked shaman high priest. If she comes forward, even if the leaders of the underground tribes cannot agree with Port Thunder, it will definitely not have any bad effects. If If Laiding chooses what he likes and sends some alchemy products or heirlooms such as skills and knowledge, then the last problem will not exist.

So after pondering for a while, Leiding said to the mage who was following him: "Record, execute the following decrees on the underground tribes in the northwest of Fort Lightning: First, for members who are willing to join the regular army of Port Thunder, Every quarter, a certain amount of iron tools can be purchased at the cost price; second, for every member of the local tribe who joins the army, the tribe can buy a metal weapon in Port of Thunder, and we can give it a new one if it is damaged; Third, ask the shaman of the Black Horn clan to communicate with the leaders of those tribes, and present some alchemy products to them to help them improve their living standards; fourth, teach the underground tribes in these mountains a race-specific For low-level martial arts or skills, if they want to learn more, then the Mage Academy in Leiming Port will open the door to their descendants. All children whose fathers joined the army will be free of charge during the study period; well, that’s all for the time being, other Yes, let's see what others have to add."

After Leidin came up with a large set of instructions, Sha Rui and the underground race generals around her also put forward some specific suggestions and details of implementation. It didn't take long before a detailed and reliable plan was formed. action guide.

So, under the arrangement of Redding, a large-scale recruiting plan was bustlingly launched in the mountains and forests in the northwest area of ​​Fort Lightning...
