There was a constant golden light shining outside, but the inside of the big tent became more and more silent.
After finally biting another piece of dragon meat steak, Xu Lai sighed:
“Go back and ask the logistics people to replace half of the dry food with dragon meat steak. At least one piece of this thing can be eaten. It can save a lot of space for a day. "
Rena opened her mouth and said: "Although dragon meat contains powerful energy, it can effectively improve your qualifications and cure hidden diseases. After all, this thing only has the best effect the first time, and the higher the level, the worse the effect.
When we eat it, we don’t feel anything at all. ”
To be able to become an officer, you still need to have something.
Not counting heroes and generals such as Wang Chao and Fang Xiang, there are 2 or 30 other officers in the big tent, but there are No one can break through the qualifications.
Xu Lai smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter, we don't rely on selling dragon meat anyway. The high-level warriors we cultivate ourselves will definitely be more useful.
Besides, aren't you going to fight in the dungeon? There are still many black dragons that have escaped, and you may even encounter the Red Dragon Legion and the Poison Dragon, so don't be reluctant to part with this bit of dragon meat. ”
Anyway, it's not her own thing, and it's good for her troops. There's nothing Reina can't bear to part with.
But Xu Lai was so kind to her. Not only did he give her artifact-level equipment and treasures directly, but he also helped her build an elf city.
It was impossible for Reina not to be moved. For both emotional and rational reasons, she felt that she should explain the pros and cons to Xu.
Xu Lai finally ended today's Black Dragon Banquet with tea instead of wine.
The remaining wounded members of the Qingfeng Legion need to be healed. Those who have advanced qualifications will have to sign a new agreement tomorrow to extend their military service period. The Logistics Legion needs to prepare food, grass and supplies.
Therefore, Qingfeng Legion's fastest departure will have to wait until the day after tomorrow.
As for Xu Lai, he will rest in the castle for one night today and pack up his things early tomorrow morning. He will take Jian Yuan, Elvi and Roland with him and set off for the Northern Empire.
Xu Lai found the burial place of the Hand of the God of War, but unfortunately, the underground passage closest to the burial place was in the Western Empire.
That place is now Kerrigan's territory. If Xu Lai brings few people, he is afraid of any accidents.
If you bring a lot of people, and the target is too obvious, you probably can’t hide it from Kerrigan’s eyes and ears.
Xu Lai thought about it, but still felt that it was not worth taking risks on Kerrigan's territory, and Xu Lai also wanted to open up connections between more cities and Qingfeng City.
So, the Northern Empire still has to run, and before the auction starts, the more cities it can run to, the better.
The auction house has not been built yet, so the auction has been in the promotion stage.
With so much dragon material this time, Xu Lai simply scheduled the auction for one month later, on January 10th next year.
January 1st is the beginning of the new year, and it is also the most important holiday in the world. The 1st to the 7th are theoretically the only two official rest days in the whole year.
Xu Lai set the time on January 10th to avoid the chaos of wild monsters descending from the sky at the beginning of the month, and to ensure that most businessmen who wanted to participate would have this time.
The time he set for his trip was to come back before the end of this month.
After digging out the hand of the God of War and forming a golden statue of the God of War, the existing attributes will inevitably increase greatly.
After Su Ya obtained the Queen's Scepter, she had already designated Qingfeng City. If she could obtain the bonus of the Golden Statue of the God of War before the end of the month, the gains from this basic growth rate would be even greater.
Xu Lai, who had been speechless all night and had not had a good rest for almost two consecutive days, had a rare night's sleep.
And early the next morning, after Xu Lai left the two space rings to Su Ya, he took his troops and the space mage who had not had time to leave Qingfeng City and returned to Conaston by teleportation array.
It hasn’t been too long since Xu Lai left this city. He passed by it before when he went to the imperial capital.
However, in more than a week, this first city on the grassland feels like it has been completely transformed.
City walls are not easy to build, but they are very quick to tear down.
The city walls of Qingfeng City have been expanded for several months, and the people who have been deployed are recruiting farmers and will not be lazy at all.
But even so, only one side of Qingfeng City's city wall has met Xu Lai's standards, and the other three sides are still under construction.
Before, it was the materials that delayed the pace. No matter how amazing the efficiency was, there had to be enough ore to support it.
Xu Lai issued an order and directly mentioned most of the inventory in Miner Town and even Qingfeng City to Mingyue City.
But as Conaston's transportation team traveled across thousands of miles of grassland and came to Qingfeng City with great hardships, the material problem has been made up for.
Besides, Xu Lai also left two space rings of Moriel to Su Ya.
There was no place to move the things in the extra-dimensional warehouse ring. The ore, wood, etc. in it were simply piled directly on the construction site.
For Moriel, the Ring of the Different-Dimension Warehouse is like Xu Lai's space backpack. In addition to important items, it also stores all the supplies she needs to eat, drink and relieve herself.
Wood ore is often used, so Moriel has reserves, but not much, probably tens of thousands of units of each item.
These tens of thousands of units of wood ore are enough for Moriel to temporarily build a small city when needed.
In the warehouse, there are dozens of dungeon hearts even in the dungeon.
Xu Lai couldn't use these things directly. Fortunately, he remembered that the temple helped him deal with the heart of the stronghold he obtained before.
After asking Elena, she found out that there is indeed such a purification spell, but it requires a formal priest to cast it.
Formal priests can purify villages and towns, priests can purify fortress levels, bishops correspond to base camps, and archbishops can purify castle levels.
There is no so-called main city in the cities of the empire, so the highest they can reach is the castle level.
Beyond the castle level, there is only the imperial capital level after promotion to the Congress. This level cannot be stacked up with the heart of the castle.
As for the dungeon, there will be a main city level city and a main city level dungeon heart, which requires a crimson bishop to preside over the purification ceremony.
The dozens of dungeon hearts of various levels have all been handed over to Elena by Xu Lai.
Elina said that after she arranged for the priests she brought to be settled in Qingfeng, Kaonaston and Martell City attached to Xu Lai, she would send them to the temple.
Logically speaking, the temple needs to be paid for its help in purification.
However, Xu Lai can hide it from others, but there is no need for it from the temple. He can use the temple's reward for Moriel as reward.
Dungeon Queen, Dragon Queen Moriel, is ranked fourth on the temple's bounty list, a super target worth a total of 3.5 million merits.
The Great Lord of the Abyss and the Great Devil Kerrigan are only worth 6 million.
Speaking of which, if Xu Lai collects this reward, not to mention helping him purify some dungeon hearts, even if he takes into account all the maps and information he got before, it may not be enough.
It can only be said that most of the information in the temple is top secret and cannot be bought with casual money or merit. When Xu Lai came, he didn't notify anyone, so except for the officials and guards in charge of the teleportation array, who saluted him, no one else came to greet him.
Xu Lai didn't bring many people. Elvi plus more than 30 Seraphs, and a dozen Holy Light Knights brought by Roland, plus Jian Yuan and Xu Lai, totaled 50 people.
50 people, no more, no less, not too eye-catching, and if disguised as a caravan, it won’t attract too much attention.
The team of more than 50 people does not seem to have much cargo. If they are walking in the wild, ordinary bandits and bandits will not touch them.
If he is really unlucky and encounters a large group of wild monsters or is targeted by someone, Xu Lai, a team of several thousand people, really won’t take it seriously.
Xu Laixi gave the space mage a whole piece of black dragon skin.
You know, the black dragon skin is strong enough. It not only has high defense but also resists many spells. It is a treasure that many mages dream of.
Even if a whole piece of black dragon skin is damaged or torn during cutting, making a complete set of black dragon leather armor, black dragon leather boots, black dragon leather gloves and leather hat will cost at most one-third.
With such a high price, what Xu Lai wants to do is naturally so easy.
In the next month, this magister will take himself and his precious disciples to connect all the cities connected to Conaston with Qingfeng City.
Of course, Kaunaston is connected to many cities, but some cities have permanently closed the channels connected to Kaunaston, such as the Western Empire.
Therefore, the KPI formulated by Xu Lai only included the number of connections, and the specific cities were left to the magister to run.
If he works harder, he can connect the cities with towers and barriers to Qingfeng City by transferring in multiple cities.
However, opening teleportation arrays to each other not only requires space mages to provide space beacons for the teleportation arrays, but also involves diplomacy.
Just like on Earth, various countries send diplomatic ambassadors to each other. If the city owners of connected cities are unwilling to interconnect, there is nothing anyone can do.
Based on Xu Lai’s relationship with the imperial nobles, if he did not come forward, the probability of interconnection would be greater.
After briefly asking the officers guarding the teleportation array, Xu Lai had no intention of meeting Jimmy and Lin Qiu.
I didn’t even take a look at his castle in Conaston.
Asking clearly, Jimmy is already reorganizing his troops. The new legion has been reorganized. Soon he will set out to sweep the grassland according to Xu Lai's wishes. After that, he will wait at the teleportation array with peace of mind.
Using the channels of the temple, Xu Lai has already communicated with two cities that need to be transited.
It’s just that although the masters of these two cities agreed to the transmission, it took a long time for the transmission request to be accepted.
With a flash of white light, Xu Lai, who had been waiting for more than an hour, finally arrived at Orlando, a large city in the Northern Empire.
Orlando is located on the edge of the Northern Empire. It is not far from the grassland and is only separated by a dozen small and medium-sized cities.
Because it is close to the grassland, it is relatively convenient to buy horses in Orlando.
For this reason, most of the high-level cavalry in the Northern Empire come from Orlando, which is also one of the most important cities in the Northern Empire.
According to the information provided by the temple, there should be an alliance between the lord of Orlando and Aini.
It was precisely because of this alliance that the lords of Orlando were able to obtain a large number of war horses at low prices and were qualified to form their own cavalry regiment.
However, this ally, when the grassland needed reinforcements, refused the help in the name of demon invasion.
When Aini was attacked by Xu Lai, this man did not refuse, but Kaunaston Castle fell too quickly, and there was no time for Aini to ask for help.
In short, because of Aini, the city seems not to be friendly to Xu Lai.
Even though the temple had cleared the relationship and did not even reveal Xu Lai's identity, it still put the transmission request from Fort Kaunaston on hold for more than an hour.
After coming out of the teleportation array, Xu Lai immediately found the teleportation officer and expressed that he was going to another base camp-level town in the Northern Empire.
This is a small city, and the teleportation array has only opened to a few important cities.
The teleportation array in Emerald City was destroyed in the war, and Marquis Anderson of Avic happened to be the sworn enemy of the lord of this small city.
The relationship with Aiweike, the largest economic city in the north, is not good. It is understandable that this small city cannot develop.
The only way for Xu Lai to reach this small town quickly is to transfer through Orlando.
In order to keep a low profile when he went out, Xu Lai specially disguised himself. All the knights and angels wore thick cloaks.
However, there are dozens of tall knights, plus the Seraphs who are much taller and larger than ordinary people. Even if they cover their wings, they can be seen as extraordinary. At first glance, they cannot be ordinary people.
But the official in charge of the transmission said arrogantly:
"Go and pay first, then queue up and wait slowly."
First There was no problem in paying the money, but in line, Xu Lai looked at the empty teleportation array and couldn't help but frown:
"Except for the mage who presides over the teleportation array, there is no one else here. How can I queue up?"
The teleportation officer said impatiently: "That's not something you need to worry about. There are already many people. After sending the application, they will come over one after another.
You just applied now, so of course you have to be behind these applications.
When it is your turn, I will send someone. I informed you.”
What Xu Lai cares most about during this trip is time.
The reason why he dresses so low-key is so that he can avoid getting into trouble and achieve his goals quickly.
So, he suppressed his anger and said: "Hello, they are not here now after all. Can you be accommodating and invite brothers to have tea."
As he said this, Xu Lai said From the space backpack, he took out the money bag he had prepared in advance.
These money bags are prepared to deal with various emergencies, such as robbery or something. If you are afraid of trouble, it is better to just throw a bag of money, which may be faster.
The teleportation officer casually weighed the purse in his hand. Experience told him that this amount of money was definitely not a small amount.
But remembering the lord's instructions, he didn't dare to let it go casually.
Putting away the money bag carefully, the teleportation officer coughed and said: "It's easy to say, easy to say, anyway, this batch of teleporters haven't come yet, so you can just join the queue.
But , the teleportation array is a military facility in Orlando. Although the temple has given you a greeting and the lord has approved your use,
but our lord has also specifically told you to ask clearly about your itinerary and purpose. If it conflicts with Orlando's interests, I can't just let you go."
Xu Lai frowned again.
"We are just transiting in Orlando. Our destination is thousands of kilometers away from Orlando. It shouldn't affect Orlando at all."
The teleportation officer shrugged: "That's not the case. Did the lord personally explain the method? He said he came from Conaston. We must ask everything clearly." (End of Chapter)
