Chapter 800 31. Heart of Magic

But Annan felt unprecedented peace in his heart.

He took advantage of this peace to meditate: By actively attacking the rat tide and containing the rat tide, no one doubted that he got second place in the hunt, but he had no chance to surpass Black Watch...< br>
Annan suddenly had an idea: Does this mean that the empire has really prepared a generous reward? And because Black Watch is the well-deserved number one, can it not only fulfill its promise with precious treasures, but also strengthen its own legion?

I have no chance to get it, but I can find out what the treasure is.

After going out and walking around, the soldiers in the camp were languishing everywhere as if they had lost a battle.

But after one more day of rest, they will be reborn, completely losing their youthfulness and immaturity.

Night fell on the Great Wall of the North, and Annan, still dressed in mage robes, came to the celebration banquet at the Black Watch station.

Before the legion commander showed up, Annan got together to talk with several forces that had developed friendships in the past few days.

The talk was all about business and trade. Annan opened theaters and commercial streets to their countries, and then purchased ores and grain from them.

Speaking of gold coins, they complained about the recent emergence of a bunch of guys holding imitation gold coins in the country. No one had dared to do this before: as the goddess in charge of wealth, all gold coins are printed with the bust of the goddess of wealth. She controls all gold coins in circulation and can punish those villains who destroy and counterfeit gold coins at any time.

But after the gods lost contact, the order created by the Goddess of Wealth quickly collapsed. The Church of Wealth survived and could only maintain its majesty in big cities. However, in small cities and villages, imitation Jinna has been quietly circulating. you.

You must know that gold cannot be smelted into gold coins casually: the formation of a gold coin first requires the nobles to obtain the wealth and grant the right to mint money from the church - which is equivalent to paying a tax to the church: every gold coin you smelt is gold coins. You will all be given a portion by the church.

As the King of the North, Annan has always had the right to mint coins, but there are no gold mines around Liberty City, so there is little opportunity to mint coins.

After the disorder, some small nobles began to secretly bypass the Church of Wealth and mint coins privately to the people. These are not bad. Although they are not certified by the Church of Wealth, at least they are still made of gold and cannot be seen from the outside.

The most disgusting thing is the guy who forges gold coins by plating a layer of gold on a lead block. If officials hadn't used torture and hung people on the gallows if they caught users, the controversy over counterfeiting of Kinnar would have only intensified.

All the rules of Allen's continent are based on the order established by the gods... The gods lose contact, and the world naturally falls into chaos.

Annan remembered this incident and temporarily finalized preliminary cooperation intentions with several forces.

Each power received theaters, commercial streets and taxes.

Annan gained revenue and influence.

So who loses?

The banquet lasted for a while, and the legion commander finally arrived, followed by the Albek Archmage.

Annan left them and walked over on his own initiative: "Your Excellency, Army Commander, Mr. Albek."

"Well done, your body has the blood of a soldier flowing in it." The Army Commander praised him. .

Annan said humbly: "I am honored by your compliment."

I was still a little touched - someone finally saw through his warlock appearance and discovered his true nature.

Annan and the legion commander exchanged a few words and talked about the rewards for hunting.

"What will second place get?"

Annan's appearance makes it difficult for people to be wary of and reject him. Coupled with his relationship with the empire, the legion commander revealed the answer: "Ten portions of the essence of the mountains."

"So rich?"

The mountain essence that Annan bought from Wilhelm cost 2,000 gold coins.

“But it’s much worse than the first place.”

Mountain Essence is actually a bit useless, and not many people or forces will buy it. It seems that it can unconditionally transform an ordinary person into a warrior, and the effect is powerful. But the nobles who want to change their fate cannot afford 2,000 gold coins, and those who can afford 2,000 gold coins do not need to change their fate.

Even if it is to train dead soldiers, instead of spending 20,000 gold coins to train 10 dead soldiers, wouldn't it be better to spend 200 gold coins to collect 10 warrior seedlings outside?

"What's the reward for first place?" Annan took the opportunity to ask.

"A magic heart." Annan expressed surprise in response.

“You know?” Archmage Albek suddenly spoke.

"Uh... Of course, even a warlock would be greedy for this kind of treasure that can give a mage magical talent..."

The leader of the Black Watch should be calm, happy and angry. It was obvious, but he still had an expression of "What are you talking about" because of Annan's words.

"Am I mistaken...?"

"The Heart of Magic is a legendary item installed in the Mage Tower. It can increase the affinity for magic of all the mage in the Mage Tower." Archmage Albek said.

Annan suppressed his shame and said seriously: "I think it suits me very well."

The legion commander let out a dull laugh and still regarded Annan as a junior rather than an opponent: "Then It depends on whether you have the ability or not.”

This is discouraging, and Black Watch is always a mountain that cannot be bypassed.

They harvested almost 450,000 mouse ears, which was not a small amount. But Blackwatch should be dozens of times better than them.

"Can I go north again?"

Annan wanted to get rid of the rat carcasses piled up in the grassland, and secretly worked hard for a while.

"Of course, tomorrow is the last day of hunting." The leader of the Black Watch Legion was not a dull person. He joked: "Do you want to work hard one more day?"

"I think Try it, but it’s hard to get mouse ears.”

Annan complains about why he collects rat ears, even though it actually benefits him - slave rats and elite rats are obviously different, but their ears are the same.

“This is the only criterion for judging military merit.”

“As long as it’s mouse ears?”

“As long as it’s mouse ears.”

Annan was thoughtful.

In the middle of the banquet, the legion leader announced that they had captured a rat priest alive.

“What’s so surprising about this?”

Annan wanted to do it himself. Back in the old king, there were many opportunities to catch the rat priest, and there were more than one.

The Archmage Albek said that the Skaven Priest knew many secrets of the McKeon clan, and Black Watch could pry them out of its mouth - in the past, when the Horned Rat was still controlling the Thirteen Skaven Clans , such a thing is absolutely impossible.

After the celebration banquet, Annan took the dragon-taming boys Elder, Blom, the Burnt Girl and the Painter to leave the Great Wall of the North overnight and landed in a lonely camp.

Rat carcasses were still piled around, and some undead souls attracted by the strong smell of death were wandering outside the camp.

Disposing of the rat corpses is no longer important, Annan's attention is all on the rewards.

The second place ten bottles of mountain essence are certainly good things, but anything that can be bought with money is not important in Annan's eyes.

With the Heart of Magic, Liberty City can train its own spellcasters.

Compared with losses, gains are worth a try!

At worst, if he is discovered, he will ask his ancestors to push the wheelchair out and say: "He is still a child."

Thinking like this, Annan took out the token in the magic ring and opened the door to the Morel family. 's portal.

Annan chanted in a stage voice: "Oh, my nephew Williams..."
