"Me, me!" Tu Gulu was really frightened by Yanguang Zuomu during this period of time.
Comparing the two, he actually felt that the conditions proposed by Li Wenhao were more reasonable. Although 20,000 soul-nurturing jade was a bit too much, he could definitely afford it based on his family's situation.
"I wrote to my family and asked them to send the ransom!"
"Okay, it's decided!" Li Wenhao nodded, with no dissatisfaction on his face: "Before your family sends the ransom, you will work in my Langya first.
One thing to say first, if you run away, or don’t work hard enough to do errands, the ransom will be doubled!”
"Don't worry, I will never run away. I swear in the name of the gods!" Tu Gulu immediately raised his short arm and swore, his red nose shining.
Just kidding, if your family sends a ransom, you can regain your freedom, and only a fool runs away.
Stay for a while at most!
"Very good!" Li Wenhao smiled with satisfaction and arranged for a sixth-level fire spirit to escort Tu Gulu to Mocheng and hand him over to Gu Yazi.
In his plan, Mocheng was not only a production base where a large number of craftsmen gathered.
Rather, it is a scientific research center where various talents gather, including planting spiritual plants, raising mysterious beasts, spells, formations, spiritual machinery, technological research, etc.
We already have the forging master Gu Yazi, the rune master and the shipbuilding master of the Taiping Dao, and now we have Tu Gulu, the pharmaceutical master, and our own Academy of Sciences is really awesome!
Among all the master-level talents in the entire Seventh Continent, he is the only one with the most complete talents.
"I'll get a formation master from somewhere and we'll be ready!"
On the way back to the meeting hall, Li Wenhao touched his chin, still thinking about how to enrich his scientific research team.
"Your Majesty, if Tu Gulu's family delivers the ransom, will we really let him go?" Qiao Feng naturally knew what Li Wenhao was thinking and asked cautiously from the side.
"Why not let it go? Twenty thousand soul-nourishing jade is a lot. It is enough for us to recruit several masters, and it can also be used by senior generals in the army."
Li Wenhao smiled nonchalantly: "However, this possibility is unlikely. Think about it, the power of the dwarves is not weak, and they control nearly half of the soul-nurturing jade reserves in the Kuran plane.
According to Tu Gulu, he was deceived from his home by Yanguang Zuomu to refine medicine.
In this case, it proves that his family knows where he is, but why hasn't anyone been sent to look for him after more than three months?
If you think about it again, Tu Gulu is not an ordinary person. Yanguang Zuomu imprisoned a dwarf pharmacy master so unscrupulously, is there something wrong with this?"
"Your Highness, you mean that Tu Gulu's family has colluded with Yanguang Zuomu?" Qiao Feng scratched his head, feeling a little enlightened.
"Almost, send someone to find out!"
Li Wenhao shook his head slightly, saying that it was not worth it for Tu Gulu. This guy was probably sold by his own family.
Either it's brothers and sisters fighting over the family property, or something like a little green on the head, it's just these kinds of things, it's not a big difference!
Who knows that he is so rich and holds a super soul-nurturing jade mine, how can he not be tricked by others?
Unfortunately, his head is not very smart, and his appearance is ugly, so he is destined to be a great man!
"Your Highness!"
Entering the meeting hall, dozens of senior generals including military advisors Fu Baichuan, Guimu Tengchuan, and Lunagu bowed and saluted.
"Where have you been? You have been mysterious all day long?" Elena got down from the side and gently held his arm.
"It's not about the Ice Palace!" Li Wenhao replied in a low voice before taking the main seat.
As soon as everyone sat down, Runagu clasped his fists excitedly: "Your Highness, our Sun Tribe has mobilized 300,000 young men from the surrounding small countries, and we can start building the city tomorrow!"
"Okay, I'll leave the construction of the city to you. Some building materials have been sent from various places. You can send people to get them yourself!" Li Wenhao nodded.
He knew that the Sun Tribe had settled many tribesmen in the surrounding small countries in the Western Region, and even several small city-states were controlled by the Sun Tribe. This was not surprising.
These days, no one can put their eggs in one basket as long as they have the conditions. If the enemy takes over, wouldn't it mean that the whole family will be exterminated?
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Runagu said with a happy face. For him, rebuilding the City of the Sun is the biggest thing.
As for fighting and dealing with the coalition forces of the four tribes, that is Li Wenhao's business.
"I believe everyone already knows the purpose of this meeting today. It is mainly to deal with the appearance of the Ice Palace and the cold winter blood tide!"
Li Wenhao cleared his throat and looked at everyone. There was no surprise on any of their faces. He continued: "Military advisor, please tell everyone the origin of the Ice Palace."
"Follow the order!" Fu Baichuan bowed to his superior, took out an ancient scroll from his arms, opened it and said: "Colleagues, the legend of the Ice Palace has a long history in our seventh continent. There have been tens of thousands of people since ancient times.
Year.
In years when the blood wave breaks out, the Ice Palace will randomly appear in the land of snowy rivers and icebergs around November.
The whole body is made of ice, and there are endless blood monsters inside. Once they get close, they will attack.
Who built the Ice Palace, why it suddenly appeared in the blood tide year, and why it disappeared automatically after the blood tide ended, no one knows the reason.
Some people say that the Ice Palace is the tomb of the gods, others say that the Ice Palace was made by the gods, and still others say that the Ice Palace is a passage to another world.
A country of the dead, an icy hell filled with blood monsters.
There are many theories, but unfortunately no one can enter the Ice Palace to find out.
According to the information we received, the Giant Bear Emperor Simons personally led 10,000 personal guards to enter the Ice Palace.
As a result, just as we approached the gate of the Ice Palace, we encountered a giant blood monster with level 8 strength. In the end, we suffered heavy losses, and only one-tenth of the number escaped!"
"The eighth-level blood monster is too scary, isn't it?"
"The bodyguards of the Giant Bear Emperor are the most elite troops in the Giant Rakshasa Empire. They are all above level three, and only one tenth of them are dead. This is too tragic!"
"Hey, a blood tide is not really going to break out, is it? Our seventh continent has not had a blood tide for a long time. Once it breaks out, it will definitely be a flash flood and tsunami, which will be difficult to resist!"
"Isn't that right? Our territory has just expanded a lot. How can we defend it?"
The generals were not very worried about the blood tide at first. After all, they had never experienced it before and knew only a little bit about it. Now after hearing what Fu Baichuan said, Quan's face turned pale and he couldn't help but murmur.
To be honest, Li Wenhao's face didn't look good either. He had just occupied a large area of territory, and it was really unlucky for him to have a blood wave at this time.
Even if the coalition forces of the four tribes do not take the opportunity to attack, just defending the people in each county will be a very headache.
"Ahem!" Fu Baichuan coughed, and when everyone's discussion stopped, he continued: "You don't have to worry too much. Although there is a blood tide, there is not necessarily an ice palace. If there is an ice palace, there must be a blood tide. In half a month's time, there will be a blood tide."
