Chapter 345: Duke of Valde (Part 1)

That night, Elinno did not sleep. She did nothing, just lying on the bed, staring at the magic patterns on the ceiling in a daze. She herself did not expect that she would impart the elves magic to Salin and draw so many drawings for him. These are the secrets that the elves are not allowed to be spread.

Of course, it was not because I fell in love with Salin, but because Salin took care of him for so long, he no longer thought about going home and returning to the elf plane.

It’s also good to be around Salin. The Marquis first married this human because she liked her beauty and was impressed by the Marquis’s amazing thoughts. She never showed her true appearance by Salin. Salin’s care for her was very delicate and never mentioned anything that made her sad.

As an elf who has lived for hundreds of years, she is much more mature than Salin, and what Salin does cannot hide from her.

On the surface, Salin was chewing with her and had to exchange everything equally, but in fact, she didn't want to feel pity.

I have paid so much that I can't go back to the elf plane. Even my father can't spare me. Not only did I marry a human, but I also leaked my secret to another human.

Four elves ancient trees were planted, and from then on, Metatlin City was its own home.

What if the Marquis appears alive?

Or, I was already disappointed with that man and had a reason not to follow him. His women killed their children. This is enough, I don’t owe him anything.

Thinking of this, Elinno seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. She had been thinking about a question. If the Marquis did not die and suddenly appeared in front of her, with the Marquis' personality, she would definitely kill Salin. The Marquis did not allow a man to take his woman with him, even if there was no intimate relationship between the two.

If there really is such a day, I will be completely free. Although the Marquis is powerful, he cannot stop Salin's badge. I have nothing to worry about anymore, so I don't have to leave...

The construction of Metatrim City continues, but this time the construction has many details. The basic project has been completed long ago, the main buildings and streets have been laid, and even the underground drainage and sewage purification plants have no loopholes. What the city needs is people and the driving force for life.

Ships from the south fill the port every day, sending a large amount of food, seeds, and taking away a large amount of magic cores, magic materials, and ore.

In the north of Metatterin, there are also some small towns. Ores are transported from the north, and the team transporting ores need supplies in the middle. According to Erinno's design, Salin built a solid castle in some dangerous areas along the river, and the white stones he mined were also transported continuously.

Salin wants to build the vicinity of Metatrim into an inviolable area. This area is two hundred miles wide and one thousand two hundred miles long. It is really impossible to cultivate one thousand two hundred miles away, and there are only huge mines.

The equipment designed by Elinno is also being mass-made. Salin's ten main legions did not recruit people, but chose the winners from the arena and constantly supplemented them. During this period, Salin asked the mages to create countless level 1 blank scrolls to be used to sign the contract.

Salin wants all the elites in his army to sign a contract with Metatlin City. Before signing the contract, of course, he must verify whether the soldiers are loyal.

Rex wrote, and she told Salin that every swordsman in the Royal Swordsman Camp would sign a contract, even those who have served in the palace for generations, are like this, without exception.

Rex even sent a sample of the contract to Salin. In the contract, in addition to asking the soldiers to remain loyal, it also stipulates many reciprocal obligations for the party who wrote the contract.

Soldiers may have to pay the price of their lives during wars and take care of their families. Some very human things are also written in it, for example, when necessary, those who form suicide squads and join the suicide squad must have descendants.

Rex told Salin about the experience of Grucos's dynasty in managing the Royal Swordsmen. Salin then realized that it would be too much to raise a powerful and loyal army. If he hadn't had too many Warcraft materials, the scroll alone would not be able to afford it.

An army of 100,000 people is only 100,000 first-level scrolls. Fortunately, this scroll will not fail to write at all, and the materials required are not very high. The number of monsters in the sea is terrifying, but most of them do not have magic cores. The skins of these monsters can be used to write scrolls, and it is very easy to refine them.

With the ocean as the backing, Salin doesn't have to worry about these low-level materials at all.

In August, the Winged Skeleton returned in a rock turtle alchemy ship. This time, the Winged Skeleton’s harvest was not as good as the last time. Without many strong people following him, he could only attack the lower-level monsters.

Fortunately, the number of red krill fishing is very large, and Salin can harvest more than 300,000 level 4 magic cores. What he promised to the nobles was 160,000. These 160,000 magic cores were distributed at a price of 100 gold coins, and there were 40,000, which were left by Salin in his hands to adjust.

Salin simply entered the warehouse with more than 100,000 magic cores that had been released.

Salin handed over the spirit pool she obtained to the Winged Skeleton, telling him not to go out to sea, and refine the Rock Turtle Alchemy Ship first. Naris had already woken up at this time, and she couldn't help sleeping for more than half a month before absorbing the power of the undead king and evolved the fifth skill belonging to Lorogala - the Lord of the Undead.

This skill allows Neris to learn undead magic below level nine and transform into undead form, which has a suppressive effect on all undead spirits below level nine, and Neris can also summon undead spirits.

Good news also came from the border. The second army of Holy Rock City went straight to Gallulan and launched an attack with another main force one south and one north. The main force in the north used war puppets to destroy more than ten cities in succession, killing the Holy See's army thousands of miles back.

The main legion in the south also attacked almost 800 miles, and the situation changed instantly.

Rex wrote to him that because of the strong attack of these two legions, the Holy See's army that had originally besieged her had to retreat to support the main legion of Garroran.

The Red Tiger Mercenary Group in the Rhine Duke refused to come and surrender. Salin was a little surprised and then understood. Although the Red Tiger Mercenary Group did not have two level nine magicians, she could not bear this tone. The two Silver Sword Saints were arrogant. It is said that there were also level eight magicians in the mercenary group and the leader of the Red Tiger Mercenary Group. With his strength greatly reduced, he developed resentment towards Salin.

Salin was not in a hurry. It would take some time to seek the Principality of Rhine. If the Holy See was defeated in Galoram, you will definitely find a way to regain the victory. The Principality of Rhine is a good goal that the Holy See strives for. If this Red Tiger Mercenary Group surrenders to the Holy See, then you will have a reason to send troops.

In mid-August, the envoys from Holy Rock City arrived. The leader of the envoys was the Grand Duke of Valde, one of the twelve major dukes of Holy Rock City. News spread in Metatlin, and the leaders were in full swing.

Although Salin has established authority in their hearts, everyone still needs the recognition of Holy Rock City. After all, no one wants to go to war with the huge empire around them at the beginning of the Kingdom.

The nobles also think so. They have to wait until their strength is strengthened.

The Holy Rock City sent Valde, which shows that even Prince Safiros recognized the existence of Metatratlin. Because Valde was from the House of Commons, the nobles still understood this kind of political inference.

In order to receive the envoys from Holy Rock City, Salin has built a small palace in the North City as his ruling place. He will not let the people from Holy Rock City enter the temple. There are powerful magicians in the envoys from Holy Rock City. Salin doesn't want you to see anything. Because below the temple, not only is his huge warehouse, but also a space he has prepared to draw a plane teleportation array. That is the most important thing for Salin and no mistakes are allowed.

Salin sent two people out of the city to greet him, one was Zola and the other was Elaine. The two men brought the people from the Palace Swordsman Camp to welcome him to Xizhen.

Although Barde was entrusted by His Majesty the Emperor, he still looked down on Metatlin City. When they passed the Blade Pass, the Blade Pass was still cleaning up the ruins and rebuilding the city walls. The burned towns along the way had not been completed, and Barde saw too many broken walls. What's more, he was also carrying a level eight magician this time, so Barde felt a little arrogant in his heart.

The nobles of the House of Lords always say that the nobles of the House of Lords are hypocritical. In fact, the nobles of the House of Lords also feel that the nobles of the House of Lords are shallow. This is not unreasonable. If the great duke of the House of Lords comes, they will never write their pride on their faces, and will be polite to Elaine.

When Elaine saw Valde's expression, she understood why Salin told her not to be angry when she set off. Valde turned his nostrils to the sky, and showed an untrimmed nose hair, looking at Elaine.

What Barde didn't expect was that behind him, the great magician Tiffany was looking at him with contempt.

"Why didn't Salin go out to greet him!" Bard shouted to Elaine with dissatisfaction.

Elaine was secretly angry, Zola pulled her sleeve from the side and whispered a few words in her ear. Elaine immediately changed into a smile and urged the horse to walk forward, but said to Valde's back: "Master, my king doesn't know that a strong man like you is coming, so he didn't come out to greet him. Please forgive me."

After Elaine finished speaking, she saluted Valde slightly. She didn't even give a horse. This etiquette was too light.
