Lord: Start with the Pioneer Knight - Chapter 1062
On the third day after Celeste’s departure, Verin went to visit Thaddeus.
During this trip, Verin did not go directly. Instead, he summoned the guards and more than 300 soldiers from the Star-Moon Castle Guards to serve as a guard of honor and went to visit in a formal manner.
On the red phosphorus horse, Weilin stroked Xiaohong’s mane and looked at its increasingly strong body, but its intelligence was a bit low. Even though it was already a gold-level monster, it still couldn’t speak words.
Xiaohong cherishes the owner’s touch and makes noises from time to time.
I recall that the last time my master rode me was more than ten years ago.
The master’s strength is getting stronger and stronger, but he is too weak, and he will be less and less able to perform the mount’s duties in the future.
In addition, there are too many fairies, which makes it feel scared. Fortunately, the master still likes him.
Weilin didn’t know what Xiaohong was thinking. Looking at the scenery outside the border, the big trees had been cut down, and there were outposts built in some unnoticeable places, stationed with two or three people to collect intelligence in the wilderness.
However, with a legend here, these outposts are no longer necessary.
After some inspection, we can find that only the building is left in the outpost, and there are no personnel inside. Judging from the dust inside, it seems that it has been abandoned for more than two years.
Sixty kilometers away from the border of Southern Zena County, a city appeared in front of you.
Four magic puppets exuding powerful aura stood on both sides of the city gate, watching the adventurers and merchants entering the city.
On the left side of the city gate, a silver mid-level mage sat at the wooden table, looking at the passers-by with some boredom, making sure that they all paid the city entry tax.
According to the professional level, professionals of gold level and above are exempt from tax, silver level professionals must pay an entry tax of one silver coin, and bronze level professionals need to pay an entry tax of ten copper coins. As for apprentices, mages are exempt from tax, and warriors are tax-free. Professionals only need to pay a nominal copper coin.
Listening to the sound of coins colliding, the Silver Intermediate Mage fell into a drowsy state.
“Conrad, your skin is itchy again and you are dozing off again.”
Hearing the calm words, the Silver Intermediate Mage immediately became energetic. He turned around and found his teacher standing next to him.
“Well, teacher, please listen to my explanation. In fact, I…”
“Go back and copy “Hand of the Mage – True Interpretation of Olek” twenty times.”
“I……”
“Thirty times.”
“Teacher, I understand.”
Conrad immediately nodded and agreed, not daring to say any more nonsense.
“Hand of the Mage – The True Interpretation of Olek” is only ten thousand words long. Thirty times is only three hundred thousand words. Using two hands at the same time, it only lasts three days and two nights.
“Get up and follow me to greet the distinguished guests.”
When Conrad heard this, he immediately stood up. He was just trying to explain, but he didn’t realize that twelve elemental knights were following behind his teacher.
“What are you doing standing around? Let’s go!”
“oh.”
Hearing this, Conrad nodded repeatedly and followed quickly.
The teacher is the eldest disciple of his master. He usually lives in seclusion and is rarely seen by outsiders. This time, he went to greet the distinguished guest on his behalf. He must be the lord of this place.
After analyzing one or two, Conrad already had the answer in his heart.
Three kilometers away from the city gate, the group stopped.
Half an hour later, several knights appeared in sight.
Conrad looked at the noble flag, then lowered his head and stopped looking at it.
He also knew a little bit about the relationship between his master and the Earl of Qi Xing. If he accidentally offended him, he might have to copy “The Hand of the Mage – The True Interpretation of Olek” a thousand times.
In less than a moment, the team stopped a hundred meters away.
Twenty-four knights came to the road and gave way.
When Weilin saw this, he patted Xiao Hong and motioned for the other person to come forward.
Behind him, Shermia was half a body behind, and Kyle was one body behind.
Arriving in front of the mid-level mage of Soul, Weilin got off his horse and looked at his face. He had never seen his face before. When he was about to ask, he saw the other party speaking first: “Rollop Elektra has met the earl. The teacher felt your presence and specially asked me to come here to greet you.”
Weilin lowered his head slightly, returned the greeting, and said, “Master Luo Luopu, nice to meet you.”
After the two parties greeted each other, they walked into the city.
Approaching the city wall, I looked at the light emitting from the wall bricks. After a little perception, I noticed the traces of the magic circle and the flow of magic power inside the wall bricks.
“How long did it take you to build this city?”
Hearing Weilin’s inquiry, Rolop thought for a while and replied: “Not counting the preliminary preparations, the establishment of this city required the mobilization of 11,237 magic puppets, which took eight months and 0. Thirteen days.”
A curious look appeared on Weilin’s face, and he asked, “I would like to ask, if you include the preliminary preparations, how long did it take you in total.”
“Three years, eight months and thirteen days.”
“So long!”
If it were an ordinary force building a city, it would not take more than three years, but for this to be a legendary city, it would be a bit long.
He was sure that Lord Thaddeus had already planned this city, but he just didn’t know what his purpose was.
Entering the city, the streets are very grand and there is an endless stream of adventurers and merchants coming and going.
If you step on the stone bricks and feel it slightly, you can find the magic lines hidden inside.
“Does Lord Thaddeus want to use this city to build his own floating city?”
This thought came up in his mind, Weilin thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed possible. Otherwise, why would he use such good materials to build this city? Would he want to give it to me?
Thinking of this possibility, Weilin felt ashamed in his heart. He glanced at the people around him and found that their attention was not on him, so he was relieved.
When he thought of the scene of doing business with Lord Thadius, he had already rejected this idea.
Compared with giving it as a gift, Weilin was more inclined to let Lord Thadius let him buy it with money.
As for the purpose, it was actually very simple, to raise money for the construction of the floating city.
Not every legendary wizard is as rich as his grandfather, and there are several floating cities.
For most legendary wizards, just building a floating city can take them half their lives, and some legendary wizards even know that they have never owned a floating city of their own until the time of extinction.
The distance from the city gate to the wizard tower is not far, but not close.
Compared with the prosperity of the city gate, the shops near the wizard tower occupy a large area, but they are all deserted.
There were some doubts in his heart, but Weilin did not ask.
As for the reason, it is not difficult to guess. It is nothing more than giving money in the name of buying a shop. As for which forces, it is still unclear based on the names of these shops.
Outside the Mage Tower, two soul-minded low-level elemental knights stood with swords on both sides, intimidating all directions.
