As Hill dropped lower and lower, the other two sporadic islands near the sea suddenly began to shake violently, and slowly swam to the middle of the main island amid exclamations and stopped, forming two fins of the whale.
, and then the round island in front of the three islands also slowly retreated and fell on top of the fish body.
Hill landed in front of the big hole, his eyes slightly closed, and he sketched the prototype in his heart.
The four islands are shaking slightly and are slowly modifying their final shape.
Purvi was the first to discover what the shape of the island below was. He was hovering happily above his head. If there wasn't someone on his back, he would have turned over and swam for a while so that everyone watching could clearly see who it was.
!
The alien whale carrying the terrace on its back appeared almost vividly at the estuary.
Hill raised his eyes and looked at the several wooden bridges on the Mirar River. He raised his hand slightly, and the water waves followed his command, sweeping up the bridges and sending them to both sides of the river.
He stamped his feet and moved to the center of the river. His body was at the mouth of the sea, but his long tail was pointed in front of the huge island in the sea, and he flew out of two high arch bridges, connecting the north and south banks of Luskan.
In the past, Luskan had no interest in establishing any trading channels with the dwarf kingdom Miraba, even though the city's initial prosperity was due to the sale of dwarf armor and weapons.
Rather than collect tolls, the two parties that rule Luskan would rather turn these dwarves into slaves, even if they are no longer willing to forge iron tools with Luskan, they can still throw these dwarves into the mines anyway.
After the undead occupied the city, they released all the dwarves without telling them any conditions... For them, it was only natural for them to release the captured slaves...
It's a pity that this is not a plot that can be played repeatedly. A more logical game has this trouble. The slaves who are released will not turn around and start mining in the same place.
Hill didn't have any objections to this. He didn't really care whether the dwarves were willing to trade with his Luskan, but he did want to make use of the Miral River.
The River Riven, which connects Silvermoon City and several other mage towns, has a branch called the Sebring River, which leads directly to the Hidden Forest located on the upper reaches of the Miral River.
Hill only needs to connect the large lake in the center of the forest where the Sebring River finally flows into with a wide enough river channel to the Mirar River, and this trade road will be formed.
In this way, caravans in the central part of Faerûn no longer need to take the main roads from Waterdeep City and Neverwinter City, and the tolls on the rivers will be reduced a lot!
In the middle, you can also pass by the famously prosperous Silvery Moon City. Hill felt that there must be many merchants willing to take this newly emerged waterway.
As for whether the owner of the Hidden Forest will allow it, this is nothing to worry about.
The elves have always guarded against shortcomings. As long as it is the Trasil elves who dig the river, the wood elves hiding in the forest will not have any objections. At most, they will ask them to transplant all the mature trees they pass by to suitable places.
For the undead, this is not a troublesome job, and they will also be asked to do this when working for Hill.
The wood elves actually have no need for the outside world, but they would rather send an older elf who understands the human world to travel long distances to Silvermoon City for shopping every year than choose to contact outsiders, even if they can become rich because of this business
Same thing.
But when there are elves who are better at management and respectable to preside over this matter, they will become easy to talk to.
Humans may not yet understand Hill's identity, but these elven races know it well, and they will never think that the descendants recognized by Corellon will lead them astray.
Hill was calculating these things in his mind and looked down at the situation under the hole.
Hill had been curious about this magic crystal vein for a long time, and finally saw a little bit of it... If it weren't for his good eyesight, he really wouldn't have been able to see so deep.
This magic tower should have been demolished by Laila and the undead... no, it was burned with purifying fire. Hill could feel the melted part at the top of the mineral vein... That should be the original crystal stone that was contaminated by darkness.
will be evaporated by the flames.
Hill bent down and put his hand against the edge of the hole, and quickly determined that it was a mixed mineral of hyacinth gemstone with fire resistance and Qingxuan ice that could be used to create city weapons and armor.
The output and quality of both are not high, but for dark mages, they do have some use value.
Especially Qingxuan Ice. Although this material is mainly used to make armor that can be worn by people who are good at using ice magic, many mages who like to play with undead and souls can use it to some extent.
However, there should be nothing left alive in this magic tower. Hill smiled. The temperature of the sacred fire burning by the undead was not much worse than that of a steel-making furnace.
His eyes moved slightly, and the ground began to fluctuate again. Hill relied on the magic power emitted by these crystals to create an underground maze, and the hole leading to the top was reduced to the size of a small elevator.
Hill glanced at the standard magic circles that had been engraved in the city and even on the nearby seabed, nodded with satisfaction, and then threw down the box containing Ruth.
Ice blue light flashed in the sky, and Hill quickly threw a small palace into the light.
Ruth with silver hair and silver eyes soon appeared in the sky. Her white and transparent skin made her look like a snow elf.
Unlike other tower spirits, Ruth has a closer connection with Luskan, especially this enlarged alchemy palace, which is directly bound to her.
If one day, Ruth is really forced to go into deep sleep, this palace without the support of magic power will eventually become a model... If it wants to be opened again, unless someone can have 10 times more mental power than Hill.
A beautiful white palace stood at the front of the island, and Hill could feel the undead coming from all directions.
He frowned, raised his hand slightly, and a wall of water rose up around the island and beside the two bridges, blocking those who wanted to watch the fun on both sides.
Purvi finally had enough of admiring this whale island and slowly landed next to Hill. Linn came down with the elves. The purpose of their coming here was for this moment.
Hill turned to look at Laila, who had already walked across the arch bridge, and the children, one large and three young, a few meters away behind her.
The beautiful silver-haired princess gently knelt to Hill: "Dear Lord Aglaia, Leila Silverhand is willing to obey your will and your instructions from now on, and will wholeheartedly assist you in taking charge of Luskan.
.”
Charlotte, who was standing far behind her, also performed a slight mage salute with her three children to show respect for Hill.
Hill quickly asked them to stand up, and then smiled: "Welcome to your arrival, it is my honor that you are willing to serve me and become my city official. Ms. Leila, I hope we can build a good Lusi together."
Hom.
Of course, I also welcome your family to become a member of Luskan, and I hope they can have a happy memory of their life here."
Then he called Linn to his side: "This is Linn, the mayor of Aglaia. I don't really like to interfere in the daily management of the city. If there is anything you don't understand, Ms. Leila can ask him directly.
Especially for some work related to the elves of Trasil, Linn can help you get on the right track.
The most important thing is that Aglaia and Luskan must maintain a balance in mission rewards, and there must be no conflict between you in this regard.
I asked Linn to prepare the same things as those in the municipal warehouse of Aglaia City. These are the resources I provide to Luskan as the lord. You can choose where to use them.
Whether it is Trasil elves or Toril adventurers, Luskan can take local specialties as rewards, but the value must be coordinated with Linn before that.
During this period, Lin En will stay here for the time being, and you can negotiate with him carefully."
Laila nodded solemnly: "Of course, I will definitely act according to the lord's will."
Lin En also greeted her readily. It seemed that they both had a good feeling for each other, and their attitudes were quite sincere when they exchanged greetings.
Probably Laila really wanted to know about the undead, so she almost immediately brought the topic to them.
No matter whether they are really in love with each other in their hearts, at least they are in harmony on the surface, which is enough, and Hill is satisfied.
"Ruth!" After completing the simple inauguration ceremony, Hill summoned Ruth, "This is the magic tower spirit I prepared for Luskan. She will assist you in completing some more complicated municipal work.
"Ms. Leila, now you can enter the Snow Palace and start your daily work in Luskan. I have some tasks that I plan to deliver to the elves of Trasil in the future. I hope you can cooperate happily."
Hill didn't plan to say anything more. Laila would definitely be more willing to accept Ruth than sending some surveillance personnel who might have selfish thoughts.
Unless she wants to become Luskan's master herself.
However, Hill still believed in this lady's character. Even with a terrifying political animal like Alustriel, the Silverhand family sisters were quite honest.
If they want something, they will not get it through secret calculations.
In fact, Alustriel rarely lies, but one can tell the real person from her words... no, not even a few gods.
Laila soon took Ruth to work in the white palace named Snow Palace by Hill. Of course, she also invited Linn and the elves who had been watching curiously.
Luskan actually had a lot of work piled up, but without a formal identity before, Laila couldn't just take over it.
Hill did not go in with them. The subsequent work had nothing to do with him. He just looked up at the beautiful white palace in front of him.
In fact, Hill originally wanted to name this palace with three fronts and backs, and a garden square in the middle. It was called the Silver Palace, but unfortunately, Alustriel's palace was already named that way.
With Hill's lack of naming ability... he didn't want to use the word "white", "crystal"... he didn't have the courage yet, so he could only call it "Xue".
