Chapter 52 Unexpected harvest, return to the territory
Soon, the sky darkened.
Since all the tents were destroyed by jackals, Weilin could only ask his men to find more firewood, make a fire to keep warm, and use the sky as a quilt and the ground as a bed to rest for the night.
After a pot of broth was cooked, Weilin filled a bowl and sent it to the legendary magician.
"Ms. Anasta." At the edge of the camp, Verin came to an igloo, pushed the door open, and put the broth on the ice table.
"Thank you."
Shia opened her eyes, woke up from her training, and thanked Weilin. Unconsciously, she had put the young man on an equal footing.
Weilin bent down to salute, then exited the igloo, looking at the bright red moon in the night sky, feeling very good.
“After the security problem is solved, development will be like a whirlwind.”
With the protection of a legendary mage, even though it is a half-disabled legendary mage, it is enough for him to walk sideways on the border of the Kingdom of Ilia.
The larger the territory, the more resources, and the more people it trains, the territory can expand to a larger size, creating a virtuous cycle.
If you can find the seven-color flower of life at the bottom of the Lake of Prayer for Stars, then there must be unknown treasures in other places that can quickly increase your strength.
With the help of destiny's guidance, he will definitely become the sixth earl of his family in thirty years.
At this time, Raimundo was holding a stack of papers and excitedly walked towards Verin.
"Lord, this time we are rich."
"Don't be in a hurry, eat first, and then talk slowly." Weilin was in a good mood and ordered Raimondo.
At night, beside the bonfire, Weilin and Raimundo sat on the ground and began to discuss how to deal with this batch of supplies.
"There are about 30,000 gold coins, and there are so many silver coins that we can't count them. It is estimated to be 150,000."
"256 excellent knight swords, 136 sets of excellent armor. 893 low-level magic crystals, 17 intermediate magic crystals, 1 high-level magic crystal, 376 magic pearls. One hundred and thirty special papers for making magic scrolls, Sixteen bottles of magic potions, twelve kilograms of purple gold sand, and thirty-two elementary magic books of various types, with a total value of more than one hundred thousand gold coins."
Weilin listened to Raimundo's report, and the smile on his face never stopped.
This time it was really a windfall.
He had already given up on leading his troops south to plunder the supplies plundered by the gnolls. Unexpectedly, the gnoll leader actually took the best parts with him and left Cardro Province from the north in an ingenious way.
"Am I really..."
The next moment, Weilin shook his head and abandoned this unrealistic idea.
Instead of fantasizing about this, it is better to plan the next development honestly and grow step by step.
"Take away fifty sets each of the knight's swords and armor. Bury the other things on the spot and mark them. We will send people to retrieve them after we return. As for the other things, take them all away and cannot leave them here."
"Lord, I will go and give the order right away."
The excited Raimondo immediately stood up and went to tell the knight's attendants to dig a hole to bury the knight's sword and armor.
Weilin leaned against the trunk of the big tree and looked at the igloo not far away, feeling more relaxed than ever before.
……
Two days later, Weilin returned with a full load of captured supplies.
Outside the village, two rock monitor lizards who were training watched their master return, abandoned their keeper, and ran over.
Shia followed Weilin, curiously looking at the surrounding environment and buildings. The first impression was that of cleanliness, which directly changed her stereotype of the filthy environment in the town.
"Weilin, as a lord, you must be qualified."
When Weilin heard this, he smiled and said, "Ms. Anasta is so complimentary."
"During my long journey, few towns I visited had such a clean and comfortable environment." Anastasia looked at Verin and said calmly.
At this time, seeing the two rock giant lizards running over, Weilin knelt down and touched their chins curiously.
"Hey, that's interesting. Can you send these two pets to me for two days to study?"
Feeling the great pressure, the two rock giant lizards shivered in fear and buried their heads in the soil.
Seeing the two pets that were about to pee in fright, Weilin comforted them and said, "Madam, it's obviously impossible for them to cooperate with your research in this state, so I'll leave it at that."
"kindness."
Anastasia nodded and stopped paying attention.
Seeing that the other party was no longer persistent, Weilin breathed a sigh of relief. He was still reasonable and could avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble in the future.
"Ms. Anasta, will I provide you with a place to live, or will you choose the site yourself and I'll have someone build it for you." Weilin said to Shia after letting Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang leave.
"No, you just need to give me a place, and I will handle the rest on my own." Shia returned to her cold look, and then added, "It's best to stay away from the center of your territory."
Hearing Shia's words, Weilin was a little confused, but he still followed the other party's choice.
"Madam, I would like to ask how large the range needs to be." Weilin thought for a while and asked.
"Thirty square kilometers."
Shia gave an approximate value based on the lowest range of radiation in her legendary realm.
Later, Verin asked Baird to get the map.
As Shia arrived at the Lake of Praying Stars, compared with the previous temperature, he obviously felt that the temperature had dropped by three to four degrees. This should be related to the area requested by the other party.
Shia stood aside and watched as the young noble sketched two locations on the parchment. Since she didn't know the words of this world, she could only wait for Verin to explain her confusion.
"Ma'am, please take a look." Weilin put away the pencil and explained to Shia, "I think these two are suitable locations. One is eleven kilometers north of the Lake of Praying Stars, and the other is thirty kilometers west. place."
"Then this is it."
After Shia examined it, she stretched out her white finger and pointed at the location thirty kilometers west of the Lake of Praying Stars.
Weilin nodded slightly. With this big boss guarding the entrance to the Underdark, it should be easy to develop.
However, the development of the Underdark will not be considered until three to five years later.
Now in his territory, he doesn't have the extra strength to do such dangerous things.
The top priority is to take advantage of this great opportunity to expand the territory.
"Madam, these thirty square kilometers of land can be used as your private territory and can be disposed of by yourself."
Hearing this, Shia nodded, feeling very satisfied.
Afterwards, Verin personally took Shia to the guest room in the castle and let her rest for a while before taking her to her destination tomorrow.
After everything was done, the sun had set. After Verin finished his dinner, he summoned Baird to the study to prepare to learn about the movements of the jackal army in the south.
He had eaten up the best part, and he set his sights on those people again.
