This large-scale refining furnace enters the Bailin plane from Bena City. Cross-plane transportation not only requires a large amount of transportation fees to cross the portal, but Surdak personally rushed to Wilkes City this time mainly for the purpose of serving in the military.
Apply for a combat readiness pass from the Department of Defense to avoid paying huge taxes in Wilkes City.
The Green Empire has always had very high taxes on this kind of cross-plane commercial trade. The huge tax alone is almost worth a set of magic pattern equipment.
For this reason, businessman Malacom specially wrote a letter to Suldak, saying that if these materials become military supplies, they can reasonably avoid taxes.
Suldak arrived at the military headquarters with a list of supplies. He walked around a lot upstairs and downstairs before getting a stamped combat readiness pass.
Then he went to Swordsman Chester's office and sat for a while before leaving the military headquarters.
…
The merchant Malacom's warehouse was built outside the city, in a small pasture.
There are dozens of thunder rhinoceros in the pasture. They gather together and leisurely eat staghorn grass on the ground along the grass slope.
When Suldak arrived at the ranch with his heavy cavalry, the magician Victor and the businessman Malacom led a group of people waiting at the gate of the ranch.
When the magician Victor saw Surdak's cavalry for the first time, he was indescribably surprised. He found that these ancient Bolai horses exuded some kind of magical aura. It was hard to say what it was, but these
Gubo's horse was actually carrying a group of heavy cavalry, which in itself revealed something strange.
Victor's understanding of the ancient horse was entirely due to a noble lord who approached the scholar Ferdinand last spring. Because he could not buy a better quality blue-scaled horse, he asked the scholar to find a horse that could improve the ancient horse.
For the Laima Physique Program, Ferdinand scholars have maintained a special research group, and Victor is the deputy leader of this research group.
In fact, based on the direction pointed out by Ferdinand Scholar, they quickly developed a strengthening scroll that could improve the ancient Bolai Horse's physique.
Unfortunately, the cost of such a strengthening scroll was three magic crystals, which was much higher than the price of a green-scaled horse. Even the black-scaled horses on the market were more expensive, so the research team was quickly disbanded.
But Victor is very familiar with various physical data of the ancient Bolai horses.
The ancient Bolai horse is famous for its endurance, but due to its weak physique and lack of explosive power, it cannot be equipped in the heavy cavalry battalion.
But the scene in front of him completely overturned Victor's cognition. This heavy cavalry squadron was actually ridden entirely by ancient Bolai horses, and it looked like they were coming from a long distance.
Arriving at the gate of the ranch, all the horses were wet.
The cavalrymen jumped off their horses, took off their armor one after another, used wood chips to scrape their horses' sweat, and then led their horses slowly in circles on the grass to soothe their emotions.
'No wonder I can make friends with Scholar Ferdinand. It turns out that this man is actually a noble lord.' Victor thought in his heart.
Surdak got off his horse cleanly, strode up to the magician Victor, stretched out his hand and said:
"Magic Victor, thank you very much for making a special trip to Bai Lin's plane."
His voice was steady and powerful.
Victor immediately walked out of the crowd and said: "Your Excellency, Viscount Suldak, it is an honor to serve you."
Holding both hands together, Victor said: "What I studied at the Alchemy Guild is metal transformation. Usually those metal transformation experiments are conducted in the magic laboratory. It is rare to have such a good opportunity to go deep into the mining area. I also
I hope to accumulate some valuable experience through this practice.”
Suldak raised his head and glanced at the warehouse behind Victor. The warehouse door was designed to be very tall, so that even Thunder Rhinoceros could freely enter and exit it.
"Is our furnace in the warehouse?" Surdak asked.
Victor nodded and said: "Yes, all three sets of furnaces have been shipped this time. As long as they are shipped to the mine one after another, they can be assembled and debugged. I was originally worried that the furnaces were too large to be transported.
, since you have prepared the Thunder Rhino Transport Group here, that would be great."
Businessman Malacom stood next to Victor and stepped forward to hug Suldak.
Businessman Malacom narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "I also asked you how to get a refining furnace that only alchemists can master. It turns out that you have such a close relationship with the Helensa Magic Guild and the Alchemy Guild..."
Surdak laughed and confessed: "I came out of the city of Hailansa. When I encounter trouble, the first thing I think of is to go back to Hailansa to solve the problem. And I don't think the Alchemy Guild here can design such a plan.
Excellent refining furnace."
Victor looked at Suldak in surprise and asked with concern: "Do you have any conflict with the Alchemy Guild here? Do you need me to write to the teacher to explain this matter? He has many connections in the Alchemy Guild.
Maybe this matter can be resolved..."
"It's not necessary for the time being. Now we can all keep each other's dignity!" Surdak replied.
"Actually, I only had a feud with the alchemist from the Wilkes City Alchemy Guild over territory, but that alchemist has now been exiled to the big battlefield."
Victor lost his voice and asked: "The big battlefield...the training place for the second-level warriors?"
Suldak nodded casually and agreed.
"Um."
Victor was a little unbelievable and couldn't figure out what kind of background Viscount Surdak had behind him and what kind of methods he used to send the magicians from the Alchemy Guild there.
That is a big battlefield! A place of purgatory for all magicians.
When he thought of the big battlefield, Victor felt his back getting cold. When he looked at Suldak, he was a little more careful.
…
The surveying and mapping officer from the Territory Administration accompanied this group of magic apprentices in Invercargill Forest for more than a month before demarcating the territories of all the magic apprentices.
The surveying and mapping officer did not expect that he would be busy in Invercargill Forest from summer to late autumn.
I originally thought that after stamping the map of Viscount Suldak, I would have completed the journey to Invercargill Forest. I didn't expect that there would be these young magic apprentices behind me, all of whom came here to divide the territory. He followed
This group of magic apprentices returned to Invercargill. If he had known this, he would not have returned to Wilkes City.
The autumn wind was bleak, and the surveying and mapping officer stood on a big rock in the forest. He took out his handkerchief and wiped his nose, and mentally greeted the relatives of the higher-ups of the Magic Union.
Hearing the chaotic footsteps, the surveying and mapping officer turned to the head of the magic union and said: "Your Excellency, Berkeley Magician, now that the territorial division here has come to an end, we can return to Wilkes City!"
The surveying and mapping officer secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, the entire territory allocation process went smoothly. Otherwise, he would have been busy for a long time. When the first snow fell in the forest, it would be even more difficult to walk here.
The head of the Magic Union smiled slightly, walked up to the surveyor and said: "Tomorrow, Mr. Horsley, the vice president of the Magic Union, will visit Invercargill Forest in person to inspect the territorial settlement of magic apprentices. I will rush there tonight.
Go to Dodan Town to pick up Lord Horsley."
"Sir Horsley is actually coming... Okay! Is there anything I need to prepare here?" the surveying and mapping officer asked with a relaxed look.
In the past, the top management of the Magic Union did not have such routine inspections, and they did not know what the Magic Union was going to do.
However, the great magician Horsley has an outstanding reputation. He is a very famous great magician in Wilkes City, and he holds the title of earl. Although it is not hereditary, he is also well-known in the aristocratic circle of Wilkes City.
The Surveying and Mapping Officer was an official of the Territorial Administration. He couldn't afford to offend the great magician, and he didn't dare to return to Wilkes City early, so he could only hold his nose and wait in Invercargill Forest.
…
A group of magic caravans stopped at the north exit of Dodan Canyon and then parked on the grassy slope below the hilly mountains.
There are rolling hills and mountains ahead. From here further north, the road is not suitable for the magic caravan.
Along the way, you can also see some horse teams carrying heavy goods into the Dodan Canyon. Although there is already a loess road here, this road winds along the hills and mountains, and the turf has long been trampled bare by the horses.
Dozens of magicians descended from six gorgeous magic caravans. These magicians were from the Wilkes Magic Guild and the Alchemy Guild. They rushed to Inver this time in the name of inspecting the territorial settlement of magic apprentices.
Kargil Forest.
A young magician jumped off the magic caravan, opened the carriage door, and hung the hanging ladder at the carriage door.
Archmage Horsley, the vice-president of the Magic Guild, then walked out of the carriage.
When he reached middle age, Archmage Horsley's hair had turned gray. He wore a dark green magic robe with two rows of golden medals hanging on his chest. He pursed his lips and looked at the vast area north of the Thorny Mountains.
The last time he came here was when he just became the vice president of the Magic Union. In the blink of an eye, he had already wasted five years in this position.
He stood up straight, looked at the rolling hills around him, turned to a group of magicians behind him and said:
"Let the magic caravan stay here. The road ahead is not easy to walk. I think we might as well fly at low altitude on the magic harpoon handle."
Two directors of the Alchemy Guild came behind. They came to Invercargill Forest this time, also in the name of inspection, to see what happened to the copper vein that was lost from Christopher.
At present, in Wilkes City, news about the Invercargill Forest Mine is spreading a lot.
Some people say that this vein cannot produce many copper ingots at all, and Viscount Suldak has to pay huge salaries to the indigenous miners out of his own pocket every month.
Some people say that this mine is now able to break even, but it has never been profitable.
When the Alchemy Guild received Christopher's report, it was clearly stated that this was a copper-rich mine with very rich copper reserves.
For the Alchemy Guild, many agreements have been signed with Christopher. This copper mine will bring huge benefits to the Alchemy Guild, but unfortunately, all of them came to nothing in the end.
This time, two directors of the Alchemy Guild came to Invercargill Forest to investigate whether the copper mine was really as bad as the rumors.
Or maybe Viscount Surdak has some business problems. If that's the case, the Alchemy Guild is going to propose to Viscount Surdak a purchase plan for this mine, but he won't be able to make any money anyway.
Wizard Kit, the director of the Alchemy Guild, said with a smile: "That's a good idea. It should be fun to fly at low altitude in the hills and mountains. It would be great if we could regain the air superiority of the Bailin plane sometime."
Archmage Horsley squinted his eyes and said casually: "This kind of thing is not something we can decide. If we want to communicate with the higher ups, we probably have to wait until Duke Newman returns to the Bena Province from the Warsaw plane."
While talking, magic potions were pulled out from the magic pockets of each magician.
With the development of magic civilization to this day, the magic handle that allows magicians to fly freely in the air no longer has any characteristics of the handle.
This magic handlebar consists of three parts: the control part, the seat part, and the driving part.
The most primitive magic handle has only a simple single-handled wooden handle in front. The seat and the handle are connected together. It is just a cotton cushion wrapped around the wooden pole. There is no power part at all, and it relies entirely on the magician's own magic output.
After so many years of changes, the grip of the Magic Handle has become very comfortable and easier to control the flight direction. The grip is divided into two parts, the left and right, which look a bit like bull horns.
The seat part is already a slightly sunken leather saddle, and there is a cross brace under the saddle for stepping on.
In the power part, a small floating magic circle is designed. In addition to the magic crystals inlaid on the magic pot handle, the magician only needs to continuously transfer magic power to the magic pot handle to drive the magic circle in the sky.
flight.
However, the price of this kind of magic pot is not too cheap. Even magicians who can get a large amount of academic research allowance every month, not everyone can afford it.
Dozens of magicians gorgeously rode at the north exit of Duodan Canyon, riding magic harpoons and flying along the hills and mountains. The scene was also very spectacular.
…
There was an animal infestation here in May, and the ghost-striped red ants ate everything that was edible.
But by October, the bushes and grasslands in the hilly and mountainous areas had returned to their original state, except for the small animals that rarely appeared.
At this time in the past, the mountains and fields were full of mountain rabbits scurrying around with their butts twisted, and groups of wild boars dragging their families with them. Basic magical beasts could also be seen everywhere, but now you might not encounter one even if you walk a few kilometers away.
A hare.
The same is true for Invercargill Forest, which has become lush and lush in just a few months.
As the weather gets colder, the leaves begin to turn yellow.
The surveying officer and the head of the magic union had been waiting at the edge of the Invercargill Warcraft Forest early.
When these new magic apprentices saw a group of magicians riding magic harpoons, flying around the mountain in a row close to the ground, they immediately stood on the top of the mountain and cheered warmly.
Being admired by others always makes these magic union officials feel happy.
They jumped off the magic pot one after another. Archmage Horsley, who was walking at the front, looked at these newly awakened magic apprentices. He held up a ruby wand in his hand and nodded slightly towards the magic apprentices.
The surveying and mapping officer and the head of the magic union rushed to greet him.
