Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 609 Terry's Difficult Choice

Hill sat comfortably on the terrace. He called out the musical instrument that could be played automatically, and listened leisurely to the beautiful serenade in the drizzle.

The occasional wind chime sounded on the floating castle, as if singing in harmony with the sound of music.

Hill looked up at the wind chime made of light blue conch under the eaves, and smiled slightly.

In order to prevent Hill from really using the dragon roar bell, Aglaia seized the time to make this wind chime for him, and Terry also turned into a human form to help her weave strong silk threads.

If you really want to remind the people living in the territory that something important has happened, you only need to pull down a crystal thread hanging from the wind chime, and the conch shells will resonate and make a melodious whale cry.

That's enough to spread throughout the territory.

Aglaia didn't understand why Terry was so active in making wind chimes for her at first, until she first passed by Terry's room on the right side of the castle.

She was still frightened by the filtered version that she heard outside the castle.

However, the two of them also became good because of this cooperation, and Hill gave up the golden dragon roar bell that could tease both of them at the same time.

Anyway, it will be used in the future, especially after the undead come.

"Sir." Liszt appeared briskly, "The 200 magic storage rings have all been sold out. There is an archmage in Neverwinter City who seems to want to make a round."

"Did you inform him that I can have 100 coins every day?" Hill asked seriously.

He didn't want to hurt innocent people because of his dumping practices.

Although speaking, who made this archmage greedy to hoard goods?

But people always have the psychology of wanting to take advantage, no matter if they are good people or bad people.

Hill didn't feel that he had the status to accuse others of making mistakes because of greed.

"Yes, I made it clear. He did intend to make a move in Faerun from the beginning.

But after hearing what I said, that person changed his destination. He planned to go directly to the Zakala Continent through the portal.The climate over there is too hot, so things like storage rings are very much needed. Liszt whispered, "He wants to ask if there is anything else suitable for use over there?"And then a few compliments on Miss Aglea. "

Hill immediately understood that he wanted to ask Aglaia if he wanted to sell a god-made tool that could make clear water.

Moreover, if Aglaia is willing to give a discount, the archmage will also be willing to help her promote the name of God.

But for this kind of thing, Aglaia had to come forward.

A promise made to a god is more binding than a signed contract.

"Go and ask Aglaia directly." Hill nodded with a smile, "See if she is willing to let her name appear on the Zakala continent. I remember that she will make the kind of clear water beads that can be stored for a year."

"Miss Aglaia may not be willing." Liszt replied, "In the past two days, except for the daily purification work, she has been hiding in the room and studying those necklaces."

Hill tilted his head and smiled: "Aglaia is a good boy with a lot of restraint, she will make the right judgment.

If she refuses, it's just that she doesn't need it. "

Li Si Te took a fixed look at Hill, and after confirming that he really thought so, he disappeared directly.

Hill pursed his lips, so what about chaotic goodness?
Aglea was already very smart and capable!Otherwise, she would not learn skills that are useless to gods with Hill.

Like clear water beads and nutrient beads.

Both of these are Toril's wonders. When Hill discovered them, he was very curious and learned how to make them.

The texture of this bead is either spongy or gel-like.When eaten, it dissolves on the tongue and has no taste.

It's just that the nutritional beads can be eaten directly, and the clear water beads have to be mixed with any non-magic, harmless liquid to dissolve and transform into 1 pint (470 ml) of cold drinkable water.

As long as a little liquid is enough, it is impossible not to find a place where people can survive.

No matter what, the sweat can be reused anyway!
But these two things are of no use to Hill, and he doesn't care about them anymore after learning them.

On the contrary, Aglaia thought that it might be used in the future, so she also learned how to make it. After all, pure sea water can also be used to melt clean water.

It was only later that they discovered that both Neverwinter City and Waterdeep City had similar rare items for sale, and the price was not too expensive, so Hill and Aglaia gave up.

Especially for Aglaia, this thing can only be sold, not given away, unless she has enough devout believers.

The goodwill of the gods must not be given without a bottom line. It is already very good that she can let people come to fetch water without setting any restrictions.

Hill waited for three days before receiving news from Waterdeep City.

Kelben's strength is indeed strong, but for Waterdeep City, which is known as the City of Glory and has a profound foundation, he doesn't have the ability to cover the sky with one hand.

It is already very difficult to delay the arrival of these caravans by three days.

But these caravans actually already knew what happened. Their seemingly long caravans were filled with basic materials that Neverwinter rarely bought.

Only Hill, a place where no one farms, will buy in large quantities.

Especially for some food, it is more cost-effective to send it to Hill than to send it to the ship for sale.

Although the profits given by Hill are not very high, most businessmen will not gamble on luck with such a large amount of food.

But in the past, these businessmen in Waterdeep City would only bring a few cars, and the convoy still went to Neverwinter City.

Although they are also worried that Hill's purchase of these basic materials will soon be full and stop, but at worst, they will bring them back to Shamshui the same way.

They all have money on them!

Even if there are dozens of carts of grain, the price earned is not as good as a magic storage ring.

It doesn't matter if it can't be sold here, who doesn't have a channel to other regions for merchants in Waterdeep City?
Seeing them crazily pouring into the commercial street and waiting in line, Hill showed a satisfied smile accompanied by lightning and thunder.

He had already calculated that Kelben's material cost, even if he could squeeze it to the limit, would cost at least 20 gold coins.

Even if he asked his dozens of students to engrave the runes together, the engraved materials would cost 2 gold, and no matter how honest his students were, Kelben would still have to give 2 gold for the handwork.

This is Faerun, Faerun where every spell and every drop of mana is worth a lot of money.

Hill also kindly left him a profit margin of 1 gold coin. If Kelben sold it in his magic tower, he would not pay it!
Of course, the person who sells the goods may not get much salary.

Hill felt that he was still very merciful, and did not completely cut off the way for the mage lord to ship goods, as long as he was willing to waste his time and personally earn this 1 gold under the noses of all the gods and powerhouses.

Just like the Impermanence card he sent.

This is the method Black Rod uses to maintain his camp. He did not cut off Hill's way of life, but gave Hill the opportunity to make his own choice.

As long as Hill is not greedy and rational, he won't turn over this card and bring himself trouble, or even a dead end.

Hill has really learned a lot from this mage lord, isn't it just to leave a little room for what seems to be impossible in reality?
False affection for falsehood, in the end it was just retaliation for retaliation.

Hill glanced at Aglaia's temple, and she finally decided to spend a little time every day making clear water beads.

The Archmage of Neverwinter City made a quick decision to leave in a week.

The past few days have been spinning around the temple.

Aglaia's reputation among these passers-by and even mages is getting better and better.

Even if she will not be as approachable as the gods of Toril, nor will some people be regarded differently because of their uniqueness.

The Sea God has always been very proud, and he doesn't even want to show his figure in front of humans.

But she is willing to deal fairly with anyone, whether they are believers of other gods or mages who are full of doubts about the gods, Aglaia has never made any difference.

She just doesn't work with the evil side.

But the people in the evil camp didn't hate Aglaia very much.

It's actually the same reason: fairness.

There are only golems in the temple of Aglea.No amount of money or power can make anyone an exception.

Of course, this is also because Aglaia has enough strength to insist on her own personality and does not need to compromise with anyone or gods.

After all, everyone understands that Aglaia, who is currently staying in the Undead Swamp, is just a clone.

It is the same existence as the avatar of Amberley.

However, she was so powerful that no one would bother her when she couldn't get in touch with Aglaia's real body, and the goddess maintained an attitude of not wanting to participate in anything.

No one would have guessed that this so-called clone was almost half of Aglaia's divine power.

'Boom'!The clouds that had accumulated in the sky for several days were finally shattered by the endless thunder, and the drizzle turned into a squall in an instant.

Hill watched with satisfaction that all the lightning and thunder over the territory finally concentrated on the roof of Taylor's house.

Most of the humans who were about to move below gave up the idea of ​​continuing to wait in the territory.

Many people put on raincoats and rushed to the main road, hoping to find opportunities in the other two cities.

Some people even rushed into the wilderness directly from the exit of the forest formation. There was no entry but exit, and it was only opened for the convenience of those who wanted to venture into the wilderness.

Once out, you have to walk for several days to get around to the main road.

"Hill~" Terry in human form rushed up suddenly, "Hill~ I want to come back here for a few days."

He touched his neck hintingly: "I think, when something good happens, it's best to stay away from my father."

It looks like he's figured out how to use the pendant as a key to the dimension.

"Terry, you better calm down.

If you can't control your emotions, you'd better wait until next year to see it. Hill thought for a while, but still resisted Taylor's impulse, "Otherwise, tomorrow your father will find out that you have made a fortune."

I can't get involved in the matter between you father and son. "

Terry's eyes froze, and he was caught in a painful choice.
