So far, he has owed Mrs. Patty's Leaton Chamber of Commerce thousands of gold coins, and in the foreseeable future, he will owe more.
Even without considering the sacred contract, Xia Duo himself has a bottom line, and he still has to pay it back.
As for Hans, Flash Gold, and Slavin Chamber of Commerce, because of the need for cash settlement, Chardonnay also needs to prepare cash. The only way he can raise cash now is to sell the scroll to the Tower of Mage, or to borrow from the Liaton Chamber of Commerce.
For the time being, Xia Duo still prefers the former. This is considered a loophole in the contract. He cannot sell scrolls to other chambers of commerce or merchants, but the Mage Tower is not a chamber of commerce or a merchant.
...
The Tower of Time, the material application office.
Here, Xia Duo unexpectedly saw several wizards, and their purpose was the same as Xia Duo, they all came to sell scrolls.
The news that Savile wanted to open up the Green Orb Forest had been spread several months ago, and in order to inspire the members of the Tower of Time to make the scrolls in the acquisition list.
The lord has specifically opened up related tasks. For example, Xia Duo can use the sales scroll to offset the previous promotion task indicators, and other people can also use the sales scroll to exchange for certain magic knowledge.
As long as a mid-level mage does a few experiments a day, the saved spells can be compared to all of the first-level mage.
After receiving the exchange voucher for 1,000 gold coins, Xia Duo exchanged a few words with these enthusiastic wizards before returning to his residence.
Next, all he has to do is to wait for the news of the pioneering team led by Saville and prepare for the development of Daxia.
The scroll must continue to be done. This is almost the only means of making money for Xia Duo at present, but it cannot be easily put down.
And even with money, Xia Duo will not stop with a high probability. After all, scrolls can make up for the lack of spells of the caster. Perhaps making scrolls is the ultimate daily life of every wizard.
...
Three days later, the edge of the Lvzhu forest.
Thousands of young men took the axe, hatchet and other tools allocated above, and began to clear the plants on the edge of the forest. Someone was in charge of transportation and someone was in charge of patrolling. It was a busy scene.
From the clearing position to the south, several foreign wizards each took hundreds of soldiers into the forest to clean up any threatening creatures they encountered
Timberwolves, bears, hyenas, goblins, giant rats, bats, snakes, etc.
But even if there are no creatures that are not threatening to humans, these soldiers will drive them to the south so that they will not affect the cleanup work in the rear.
And just on the branches of a tall tree that a human soldier had just passed by, two elves watched all this silently, and one of the younger said angrily:
"I heard the forest crying! These evil creatures!"
"Carrick, calm! Don't let emotions dominate your mind! These humans are disrespectful to the forest, and they will surely receive the forest's backlash!"
As if to confirm his words, a human soldier not far away suddenly hugged his leg and wailed, but he died before screaming.
Elf Carrick seemed very happy, and asked quickly: "Captain, did you do it?"
"No, this is the punishment of the forest. Let's go, go to the next place."
After that, the elf captain jumped to another tree, behind him, the elf Carrick also leaped very flexibly and lightly.
...
The top of the Tower of Time.
Now Niya was sitting behind the desk, holding a communicator in her hand. She asked the front in the voice of Lord Epps, but the following news made her frown.
After interrupting the communication, Niya picked up a document on the table again, and drew a few strokes on it, then left the chair and went to the side of Lord Epps.
After hesitating a few times, he finally said, "Father, the soldiers in front have suffered a lot of casualties, do you think--"
"Is it something?" Lord Epps stared at Niya suddenly, "Are you questioning my decision?"
"No." Niya quickly explained, "Father, I just don't think we need to be so radical at all, and no one is forcing us to explore."
Niya is actually softened. The soldiers in the territory are not cold numbers. They are also living people, and there are families waiting for them to protect them.
Ugh--
Epps sighed slightly, stood up, took out a stack of parchment from the bookshelf, and put it in Niya's hand, "Look!"
He has great expectations for his daughter, Niya is very talented, in various senses, but after all, she is still too young and still needs training.
Niya took the paper, and it contained some under-the-surface information. For example, behind Felbers's death, there might be people coveting the territory, such as the hostility that might be encountered after throwing it at the princess.
There are also some unconventional methods in the territory, such as the person in charge of the Gorse Chamber of Commerce in Savile who accidentally fell into the water during the orc wave last year, and a businessman who was planning to transfer his assets to Conifer City but died unexpectedly.
Niya's eyes widened. She had never thought that her always fair and stalwart father had such a side. When she grew up in the Mage Tower, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable~EbookFREE.me~ and at this time Epp Lord Si continued: "The development of the territory is in line with the development plan of the princess. Now that we have invested in the princess, we must express it, and those who covet the territory will also have scruples after seeing it."
Of course, what Epps didn't say is that, besides these, the most important thing is to test the wizard wizards in the forest, which is secondary compared to this.
With such a fierce development of the forest, if the wizard mage really wants to do it, he will also send a few out-of-town wizards over, and it depends on what happens next!
Seeing Niya's thoughtful look, Epps said again: "Tomorrow I will let Bergat come to see you, and from now on, all commands are not allowed to use my voice."
Epps made up his mind to push Niya up. Bergat was the president of the Savile Adventurer's Guild, and he was also his follower.
But Bergat's true identity is Epps' eyes that secretly monitor the status of the territory, and the dark thorn that solves his troubles.
Magic can indeed do many things that ordinary people can't do, but there are also many things that magic can't do, at least not with Epps' magical ability.
Handing Bergat to Niya's hands, Epps also put aside a worry, even if there is an accident, it will not affect the normal inheritance of the territory.
In addition to the transfer of personnel, there are also some secrets. Once he accidentally dies, Taling will also be transferred.
Epps, who was relieved, gave the room to Niya directly. He was going to concentrate on studying magic, even if Ebbock's revelation was true.
But as long as he can become an archmage, he will inevitably have many more countermeasures. Being hit by a wizard magic does not mean he will definitely die. Epps still has this confidence.
