Chapter seven hundred and fifty fifth preliminary contract
After Hill immersed himself in the study and copied all the magic books on the seven-story bookshelf behind him, spring finally arrived.
The Hubbell family delayed for a long time. They seemed to want to see if Hill had any plans for their family, or in other words, was interested in some of their family's secrets... Although the Hubbell family did not have anyone over level 30
That kind of legendary mage, but the archmage who is over 20 levels has never lost his level.
Of course, mages rely heavily on talent, but no one believes that a family never lacks geniuses... If IQ can really be inherited so accurately, the world should belong to these mage families... So many forces in Toril actually want to know
The support of the Hubbell family.
It's a pity that Hill is completely dismissive of their little secret... What if legendary mages of more than 30 levels appear steadily!
So when there was no movement at all in Aglaia, the Hubbell family finally visited Lynn again honestly. They didn't dare to take chances anymore. Their neighbors seemed to be indifferent.
This time when the Adanke patriarch came over in a carriage, although he was the only one who got out of the carriage, there was actually a level 20 archmage and two level 17 high-level mages sitting in the car.
Hill, who was sitting in the study silently using his copying skills, couldn't help but turn his head and take a look: Marco came by himself... Are they planning to burn the boat?
Hill put down the pen in his hand with some hesitation: For the Hubbell family, the importance of Longsaddle Town seems to be incredible... Although the Toril people are attached to their homeland, they never give up when they encounter a crisis.
Will not be reluctant to leave.
As for the Tower of Dusk, based on Hill's research on the gem-inlaid magic circle, this tower can actually be moved over short distances...
In other words, Marco is actually mentally prepared to move...
Hill was silent for a while. Generally speaking, people who have this kind of cautious mentality but will never give up unless they have no choice can only prove that Chang'an Town is studying something that will lead to catastrophic disaster if it fails and is exposed.
thing.
Hill turned out the map and studied it carefully for a while: According to normal history, Neverwinter should have been destroyed by a volcanic eruption a hundred years later.
So when Hill moved to live next to the Swamp of the Dead, he certainly didn't want his city of Aglaia to be destroyed because of something like this, so he went to observe the Neverwinter Mountains where Neverwinter City is located... However, there was nothing ordinary there.
The mountains are so high that there are no traces of volcanoes at all.
Hill even went to check the status of the underground... Although Neverwinter City has dug many tunnels, it is still tens of thousands of kilometers away from the fire of the earth's veins!
Later, Hill thought that it was because of the reorganization of the world that the fire of the earth's veins slowly flowed... So as soon as the blue light disappeared, he observed it again.
Instead, a small underground fire vein appeared 30,000 meters underground on his side, and Hill had to go back to a deeper underground place by himself.
There is still nothing going on under Neverwinter.
Only then did he realize that natural disasters could be predicted.
With the prosperity of prophecy magic in this world, if there is really an underground fire rushing upward, there will be no news at all in Neverwinter City... At least the royal family of Neverwinter City will not be unable to escape. However, they were completely annihilated.
This can only be a sudden man-made disaster.
So the reason why the Tower of Dusk is built on the edge of Neverwinter Forest is really just because the place is suitable?
Hill smiled silently and decided to repair the underground on the east and north sides of the territory in two days: it would be best to convert them to refractory materials.
Although Linn didn't know that Adan came with backup, he could also feel the no-turn-back mentality of Lord Hubbell.
Moreover, when he flipped through the list Adan Ke brought, he found that the directory related to underground resources even listed the enemies near each resource.
The names of derro dwarves appear next to many precious minerals: blood glass and glass crystal iron, the two most precious materials in lava minerals... blood glass has an appearance close to obsidian, and is formed due to the mixing of magma and dragon crystal sediments.
, very sharp, but easily broken by sound waves, and are often used to make ammunition.
Glazed iron is a natural metal generated in lava. After being refined and forged, it will appear bluish white and emit emerald green light. It is also sharp, but can resist sound waves.
These two minerals are actually in the hands of the derro dwarves who are good at making alchemical items... The dwarf musket must be their common weapon.
Lin En also saw several kinds of precious minerals that all mages would be excited about, and they were actually controlled by the Derro dwarves... Looking at the label of the Hubbell family, these minerals were also very rare in the underground world... As far as Lin En knew, the dark mage
There are several people here who are not much worse than Kelben, but they have not been able to snatch these minerals from the derro dwarves.
It is even possible that these minerals were snatched from them by the derro dwarves...
Lin silently turned through the pages at a steady speed... The people in the Hubbell family who gave this information had bad intentions. They were trying to make Aglaia think that the reason why the Derro dwarves are powerful is because of the dwarves in their hands.
The musket is particularly powerful.
Although for them, this information is exactly what they want...finding where the derro dwarves are is the purpose of their troubles for so long.
But this does not mean that there is nothing wrong with what the Hubbell family has done.
Linn silently turned to the end. The Hubbell family actually sent a large number of specialties from the abyss and hell and some resources from Heaven Mountain.
He couldn't help but look up at Adanke.
Patriarch Hubbell quickly understood what Lin En meant and said with a smile: "There is no need for the Hubbell family to make a fool of themselves in front of the Archmage Hill... If he wanted to, it would be easy for him."
Adanko looked directly at the northeastern side of Aglaia City with a pointed look, where was the cemetery of Tire believers and Selun believers.
With the elven gods and these two Faerun gods, Hill can indeed get whatever he wants.
But this doesn't mean...the Hubbell family can use this excuse to give less things as a matter of course.
Linn sneered: "If you want to retain some magic knowledge, don't skimp on resources... We all know what these magic books you took out mean... At most, you can pay less to Candlekeep for the transcription fee.
.
Does Aglaia lack that money?"
Adanke quickly took out another list from the ring on his finger: "I am too stingy... There are only so many assets in the family, and it is too difficult for me to accept that they are consumed in my hands at once...
…I’m really sorry for my greed, so is it okay to add this?”
After taking it, Linn looked at it quickly, and then couldn't help but look up at Lord Hubbell. The material on it actually contained the Joseph Garden Heart Cable. This kind of surprisingly thin and flexible metal wire can only be buried deeply.
Found in the mineral veins beneath the Garden of Joseph, which is the territory belonging to Mystra.
The Hubbell family can only obtain this kind of material because Kelburn traded it to them... It seems that the relationship between Chang'an Town and Kelburn is indeed close enough, and they will exchange information on such things.
Adanko had a smile on his face.
This material is something they believe Hill definitely does not have... They have been studying this wealthy neighbor for a long time. Lord Aglaia does not have any need for wealth, but he wants things he does not have, especially various resources.
, even if it is of little use, he will still turn his head to look at it, and even try to pocket it.
As the most trusted person of Lord Aglaia, Linn would not fail to know this.
The Joseph Garden Heart Protective Cable, a material that can increase the physical defense and spell defense of armor, is indeed of no use to a wealthy archmage, but it may be the thing he is most interested in in this pile of supplies.
For the Toril people, as long as they have the courage, all kinds of minerals from the abyss and hell can always be obtained, but not much materials from the Kingdom of Mystra are leaked out.
Even Kelben can only take out so much, and according to Black Staff, Alustriel can't possibly have so many Joseph's Garden Heart Cables in his hands.
If Hill heard this statement, he would probably just laugh: The sons of Alustriel have formed a bodyguard!
Do you want to guess whether their armor has been strengthened with Joseph Garden Heart Cable? The only use of this slender material is to add a layer of defensive BUFF to the armor without increasing the weight.
But to a certain extent, Kelben is not lying...after all, it has been used up.
Lin En flipped through the resource list again, letting the other party fully feel that this was the only part he valued, and then nodded gently: "Our lord is actually not very willing to allow caravans from non-good camps to pass through Aglaia City.
Therefore, as long as Chang'an Town shows appropriate sincerity, we will add a camp monitoring circle to the road entrance... No one will be willing to brave the red light and enter the sphere of influence of the Trasil elves.
Even if the Lord of the Abyss comes, they will not show mercy."
Adanke breathed a sigh of relief. Although it cost more than half of the family's wealth, in fact, no matter how much resources were used to squeeze the warehouse, it would not affect the operation of the entire family... As long as the status of Chang'an Town remains, they will have
There are countless ways to fill up the warehouse.
If Chang'an Town's status as a transportation thoroughfare is no longer retained, then it is somewhat noticeable that the Hubbell family insists on staying in this place... Of course the Hubbell family knows how many archmages have inspected the place where they are.
, including Marco's good friend Kelben, couldn't help but look for any special resources near the Hubbell family the first few times they came.
But even if it is a god, as long as he does not come in person, but is just a clone, it is impossible to find the secret of the Hubbell family!
Adanke looked at a decree that Lin En took out: Aglaia City only welcomes people from the good camp to set foot on their territory.
All that's missing is the city lord's seal.
Just waiting for those resources to be sent to Aglaia.
