"You're saying that the ogre priest can use magic most likely by relying on the magic crystal to supply magic power?"
"Yes, I can feel that the mainland is still in a state of depletion of magic power, and it is impossible to support him to cast such a large-scale bloodthirsty spell.
The only other possibility is that a mana crystal mine appeared in the wilderness, and the ogre priest relied on the magic power of the mana crystal mine to cast his innate bloodthirsty spell."
After negotiating the terms, Richard began to understand the details.
When Gandolf mentioned the word magic crystal, Richard couldn't help but feel refreshed.
Crystal does not exist alone on the continent, only magic crystal. If nothing else, this is a rare resource that has been blocking Richard from building new buildings.
Originally, this thing disappeared in the era of the Elf Empire. Richard's Yusi spent a lot of effort to find such a name, and then it was completely disconnected, which made Richard feel a little confused about the construction of subsequent buildings.
Frustrated, I can only rely on random market refreshes to try my luck and wait for resources.
I didn't expect to hear this word again here, probably in the wilderness.
"Then do you know where the previous mages lived?"
Seeing that the mage in front of him seemed to be a learned man, Richard suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Of course I live in the mage tower!"
"Thousands of years ago during the Elf Empire, every official mage would have his own mage tower. The mage tower was equivalent to the castle of the knights. They lived in it and could use the mage tower to defend themselves against powerful enemies.
There will usually be a small town around that serves mages completely, and mages have a high status..."
When he mentioned this, Gandolf opened up his chatterbox completely, and even talked a little excitedly, as if he was about to return to the era when mages were supreme.
"Well, do you know where there is a mage tower now?"
Richard already had a guess in his mind, so he asked again
"cough"
At this time Gandolf stopped talking and said with some embarrassment:
"You have to know that mage towers are built with precious materials. After the mage lost his magic power, most of the mage tower ruins were dismantled into original materials. Hundreds of years ago, the kingdom may still have mage towers, but now...
"
"In other words, even the ruins of the Mage Tower can't be found now?"
"That's not absolute. There may be mage towers left in some remote places."
"for example?"
"For example, in the endless snowfield."
After hearing this, Richard felt like the little old man in front of him was making fun of himself. The endless snowfield was so big, and there were snow giants that were more dangerous than the ogres. In this environment, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack to find the ruins of the mage tower.
,
If he really finds it, he will believe that he is the son of destiny, and he will just rush to the front in future battles.
"My Lord Earl, there is a map handed down from the Elf Empire period in the library of the palace, which accurately records the location of every mage tower on the continent.
If you want to find the ruins of the Mage Tower, I am willing to go with you to the endless snowfield to look for the Mage Tower after your trip to the wilderness."
Gandolf also saw Richard's interest and doubts, and cleverly put forward a condition, which seemed to give Richard a little more leverage to send troops to the wilderness for him.
"Um"
Richard nodded and did not answer the question. Instead, he issued an ejection order tactfully.
"It's been a tiring journey, so you should go down and rest first."
He still has a lot of things to do, and doesn't have much time to spend with the old man and the young man who can't create value for him yet.
"Then, Lord Earl, when will we go to the wilderness?"
"It takes some time to prepare. You should take a good rest at the Demon Suppressing Castle during this time."
"It shouldn't take long."
Seeing Gandolf's anxious look, Richard finally added.
"Then, sir, let us know when you have set the time. We can set off at any time."
After that, Gandolf and Luo Lin returned to the room under the guidance of the waiter. Although he was a little anxious, he did not dare to continue to make Richard unhappy.
However, Richard's answer was not perfunctory. Indeed, he was not willing to wait too long.
The development of the two invincible heroic cities has been stagnant for a long time due to the lack of crystal resources. In fact, he was also anxious.
Originally, he planned to stay in this Demon Suppressing Castle for a while,
When the new territory is completely restored to its vitality, bring the soldiers of the two legions, accumulate hundreds of Crusaders and more other troops, and directly bulldoze Grugesh.
Anyway, the balance of time is on his side,
In fact, both Grugesh and Richard were holding back bad intentions. Grugesh wanted to spend some time and rely on his own strength to integrate all the wilderness ogres step by step. He no longer wanted to eat everything in one go as before.
The big fat man finally formed a powerful force completely under his control and then moved eastward again.
But Richard is different. If it's just for the ogres, the balance of time is on his side.
Generally speaking, I am afraid that no lord in the North has accumulated strength as fast as Grugesh.
In a few years, if the kingdom is still unable to free up space, it will probably be a more serious ogre disaster.
But with Richard as an outlier, Grugesh will only become more desperate the longer he delays.
However, the situation has changed now. After Zebul joined, Richard's subordinates no longer have any shortcomings in high-end power. With the news of the magic crystal, Richard is not willing to delay for so long.
After waiting for another month, the Tiger and Leopard Army will be thoroughly trained, accumulate some troops in the hero invincibility system, and then obtain some treasures and troops that can enhance their strength from the refreshed market, and then they should be able to launch a crusade against Grugesh.
Richard has a new task that he has not yet completed.
"Source of unrest: 1. Kill the two-headed ogre priest Grugesh.
2. Basically eliminate the main force of the Grugesh tribe.”
…
wilderness
"A sneeze, a sneeze..."
Both heads of Grugesh sneezed at the same time.
Grugesh just inspected the newly recruited tribesmen,
Now Grugesh has changed his previous gentle approach, and relying on the strength of his direct lineage, he has begun to coerce and lure other small and medium-sized tribes, asking them to join his tribe.
For tribes that really don't obey, they will directly send people to attack.
Grugesh himself has the mythical bonus of the two-headed ogre, and he also has the most powerful force in the wilderness under his command.
When he began to forcibly annex the tribes, the resistance he encountered was not as great as expected. It can be said that the power of Grugesh's subordinates was increasing every day, and he soon returned to his previous peak level.
And because a large number of craftsmen were plundered, the equipment level of Grugesh's subordinates was also constantly improving.
"唳"
An eagle's call came in the distance,
Grugesh looked up and saw the strange bird that disgusted him again.
"Sooner or later you will pay the price."
