After a warm celebration dinner, Roland and his party bid farewell to Thorin early the next morning, and left the city of Irub located on the Lonely Mountain under Thorin's "farewell".
Riding on the horse, looking at the empty team behind him, Roland sighed. The loss of 300 loyal and brave infantrymen was no less than a disaster for Roland now... The most serious thing is that Roland's military strength has been greatly reduced...
…Roland tossed the scroll in his hand and finally showed a smile. This is an offensive and defensive alliance treaty signed by the four northern kingdoms: Lagrand Kingdom, Mountain Kingdom, Woodland Kingdom, and River Valley Kingdom. Because Azog and Bolger
The dark clouds shrouding everyone's hearts have not yet dissipated. If they fight individually, they can only be defeated one by one. So that night, under Roland's call, everyone signed this contract witnessed by the gods.
As for now, Roland is going to build his first city...
"Let's say goodbye here..." Roland looked at Gandalf and Bilbo.
"Goodbye! Roland, and good luck to you!" Gandalf nodded slightly.
"Mr. Roland, if you are lucky enough to pass by Bag End, please come in and sit down. By the way, afternoon tea starts at 4 o'clock! Enough tea!" Bilbo's eyes turned slightly red.
"Of course! Master Baggins, I hope you will leave me dinner next time I go there!" Roland laughed heartily, and the laughter dispelled his slight unhappiness.
"Well, I will definitely prepare dinner for you next time!" Bilbo said with a blush. Last time Roland visited Bag End, he didn't leave anything for him. It was all made by those cute dwarves.
"Then let's say goodbye!" Roland and Gandalf waved goodbye at the foot of the Lonely Mountain.
…
"System! Let's do it here! Let's realize the town of Rapids!" Standing on the east side of the lake mouth of Changhu Lake where the former Rapids City was, Roland called out to the system.
"Received! Retrieving terrain..."
"The terrain meets the requirements..."
"The city wall is being generated..."
"The lord's castle is being generated..."
"Generating houses..."
"Construction is complete, please check it with the host."
In front of Roland's eyes, a flow of data covered a large area of land in front of him. Just when Roland was feeling strange, the sound of the system sounded to indicate that it had been realized. Roland happily raised his head and looked at the town where he would live for a long time in the future...
"System!" Roland roared.
"What is this?" Roland pointed angrily at the pile of things that could be considered a village in front of him.
"Show me, is this the Swift Current Town you're talking about?" Roland said angrily.
"The system is detecting...the detection is correct!" the system's cold voice sounded.
"Fuck you! This is an area the size of a village. I won't say anything. Please explain to me the two-meter-high stone wall! And this house with a leaky roof! There's grass growing inside.
!Except for the castle, no building in the whole town is higher than the second floor! And why is this lord's castle so shabby?" Roland was shocked by the shamelessness of the system.
"……"system.
"Oh no! Pretending to be dead?" Roland had a new understanding of the system's offline status.
…
"Ahem, this will be our home from now on. This can be considered a relic of the former Rapid City..." Roland was just thinking about how to tell everyone his lie when everyone suddenly burst into cheers and rushed forward.
"Look, this is our Lagrand architectural style!"
“A typical Lagrand village!”
“Not bad, not bad, I feel like I’m back in my hometown village again!”
Everyone was very satisfied with the environment here. In their memories, they had not seen traces of Lagrand for a long time after wandering in a foreign country. At this time, they were extremely excited to see Lagrand Village located on the original site of Rapid City.
"System, are you really not going to say something?" Roland listened to everyone's discussion, and the more he listened, the darker his face became! He clearly showed up to be a small town, but he ended up with a dilapidated village.
There are too many deductions. Landlords will be heartbroken and capitalists will shed tears when they see it...
"Sir, it's very nice here! We are finally back to our hometown! Hey, why do you seem unhappy?" When Kaslo happily ran to Roland, he found that Roland had a dark face.
Roland was speechless. Do you want me to tell you that a small town was supposed to appear here, but this town was worse than a village? Roland suddenly felt that he had suffered a big loss by participating in this lonely mountain war. Well, it was not too bad, after all.
Gold coins worth 1 million wealth values were moved from Thorin. One wealth value is equal to 10,000 gold coins. When converted...
Well, Roland finally knew why Thorin smiled so happily when he sent him away.
"Hey, let me go to the mall..." Roland looked at the people who were cleaning up the "town" and opened the mall on the system page out of boredom.
"Gryphon eggs: quantity 5. Unit price: 10,000 wealth value."
"Darian Archer: Quantity: 100. Unit price: 10 Wealth Value."
"Earth attribute war mage: quantity 1. Unit price: 50,000 wealth value."
…
"Oh no! There are even war mages?" Roland's saliva was almost drooling.
War mages are the fourth level of mages. They are considered to be hardened characters among mages. They can lead a small war alone, so they are named war mages (mage levels are divided into trainee mages, mage, archmage, and war mage.
Magister, Sage!)
In the end, Roland, who had just made a fortune, gritted his teeth and exchanged 5 gryphon eggs for a war mage. The reason for exchanging the gryphon eggs was because gryphons are one of the few aerial combat super monsters. They are slightly weaker than flying dragons but far away.
Far stronger than giant eagles. Griffons grow very quickly, and it only takes about a year from hatching to adulthood. However, their fertility is even more miserable than that of elves. In their more than two hundred years of life, at most, they have only
It can reproduce more than ten times, and on average it only reproduces once every 10 years, with one egg at a time. Griffins raised in captivity are fine. Wild griffins may only leave one offspring to grow up in their lifetime. They are fragile at birth.
Even local dogs can pick them off, and various accidents have resulted in there being very few wild griffins. However, Roland seems to have never heard any news about griffins in this world, which means that griffins are probably extinct or have never appeared.
The reason for exchanging war mages is also very simple. Earth-type war mages can be used as efficient construction workers. When Lagrand City was expanded and Rapid City was established, several earth-type sages took action. However,
A great city was built in a few days. After buying these two items, Roland's wealth value suddenly dropped by one-tenth.
"The system has set that the war mage will bring 5 griffin eggs to the host. Please pay attention to the host and check them." A line of words appeared on the system's light screen.
"Sir, give this city a name!" Reno's appearance interrupted Roland's contemplation.
"Well... let's call it Rapid City. We will inherit the will of our ancestors! We will rebuild the destroyed city!" Roland clenched his fist and said heavily.
"River City...it's so good to hear this name again..." Priest Guardian quietly wiped the tears from his eyes.
"Ding! The main mission starts..." Suddenly the system's natural sound sounded.
