Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 792

As Hill descended lower and lower, the other two scattered small islands near the sea suddenly trembled violently, and slowly swam to the middle of the main island with a sound of exclamation and stopped, forming the two fins of the whale. Then the small circular island in front of the three islands also slowly retreated and landed on top of the fish body.

Hill landed in front of the big hole, his eyes slightly closed, outlining the embryonic form in his heart.

The four islands are trembling slightly, slowly modifying their final shape.

Purvi was the first to discover what the shape of the small island below was. He was happily circling above his head. If there was no one on his back, he would turn over and swim for a while, so that everyone on the sidelines could see who it was !

The alien whale with the terrace on its back appeared almost alive at the mouth of the sea.

Hill raised his eyes to look at the wooden bridges on the Miral River, raised his hand lightly, and the water waves followed his command, sweeping up those bridges and sending them to both sides of the river.

He stomped his feet and moved to the center of the river. His body was at the mouth of the sea, but his long tail pointed in front of the huge island in the sea. He flew out of two high arch bridges, connecting the north and south banks of Luskan.

In the past, Luskan was not interested in establishing any trading channels with Mirabar, the dwarven kingdom, even though the city's initial prosperity was due to the sale of dwarven armor and weapons.

Both parties who ruled Luskan would rather turn these dwarves into slaves than collect road taxes, even if they would never make iron for Luskan again, and could throw these dwarves into the mines anyway.

After the undead tribe took over the city, they released all the dwarves, and didn't give them any conditions... For them, it's only natural for them to release the captured slaves...

It's a pity that this is not a plot that can be repeated repeatedly. A more logical game is such a trouble. The slaves who have been released will not turn around and mine in situ.

Hill didn't have any opinion on this either. He didn't really care if the dwarf was willing to trade with his Luskan, but he did want to use the Miral River.

The River Riven, which connects Silvermoon City and several other mage towns, has a tributary called the Surbrin River, which leads directly to the Hidden Forest above the Mirar River.

As long as Hill connects the central lake in the forest where the Surbring River finally flows into, a wide enough river channel will be connected to the Miral River, and this trade route will be formed.

In this way, the caravans in the central part of Faerun don't need to travel on the main roads of Waterdeep City and Neverwinter City, and the tolls on the river can be reduced a lot!
The famous and bustling Silvermoon City could pass by in the middle, and Hill felt that there must be many businessmen willing to take this new channel.

As for whether the owner of the hidden forest will allow it, this is not something to worry about at all.

The elves have always protected their shortcomings. As long as the ones digging the river are the Trassil elves, the wood elves hiding in the forest will have no complaints. At most, they will be asked to transplant all the adult trees they pass 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.

In fact, the wood elves 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. the same.

But when there are elves who are better at management and worthy of respect to preside over this matter, they will become very talkative.

Humans may not be able to understand Hill's identity, but these elf races know it well, and they will never think that the descendants recognized by Corellon will lead them astray.

Hill calculated these things in his mind, and looked down at the situation under the cave.

Hill has been curious about this magic spar vein for a long time, and finally saw a little edge... If it wasn't for his good eyesight, he really wouldn't be able to see such a deep place.

This magic tower should be dismantled by Leila with the undead tribe... No, it was burned with the fire of purification, and Hill could feel the top part of the mineral vein being melted... It should be that the original spar was polluted by darkness, Will be evaporated by the flame.

Hill bent down and put his hands on the edge of the hole, and quickly judged that it was a mixed ore of hyacinth gemstones with fire resistance effect and cyan ice that could be made into weapons and armor.

The output and quality of the two 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, but many mages who like to play with undead and soul can more or less use both.

However, there should be no stock in this magic tower, Hill smiled, the temperature of the burning holy fire of the undead is not much worse than that of a steel furnace.

His eyes moved slightly, and the ground fluctuated again. Hill relied on the magic power emitted by these crystals to create an underground labyrinth, and the hole leading to the top was also shrunk to the size of a small elevator.

Hill glanced at the standard magic circles that had been engraved in the city and even the nearby seabed, nodded with satisfaction, and then threw the box containing Ruth down.

Ice-blue light shone in the sky, and Hill quickly threw a small palace into the light.

Ruth with silver hair and eyes quickly appeared in the sky. Her white and transparent skin made her look like a snow elf.

Unlike other Talings, 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 fall into a deep sleep, this palace without the support of magic power can only become a model in the end... If you want to open it again, unless someone has 10 times more mental power than Hill.

The 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 around the island and beside the two bridges, blocking these guys who planned to watch the fun on both sides of the bank.

Purvi finally admired the whale island enough, and slowly landed beside Hill. Lynn led the elves down, and the purpose of their coming here was for this moment.

Hill turned his head to look at Leila who had already walked over the arch bridge, and the first and third children a few meters behind her.

The beautiful silver-haired princess gently knelt to Hill: "Dear Lord Aglaia, Lila Silverhand is willing to obey your will and obey your orders from now on, and wholeheartedly assist you in taking control of Luskan's authority." .”

Charlotte, who was standing in the distance behind her, also took the three children to give a slight mage salute, showing respect to Hill.

Hill quickly asked them to stand up, and then smiled: "Welcome to come, you are willing to serve me and become my city official, it is my honor. Ms. Leila, I hope we can build Luce well together. Hom.

Of course, I also welcome your family members to become a member of Luskan, and hope they can have a pleasant memory of their life here. "

Then he called Lynn to his side: "This is Lynn, the mayor of Aglaia. I don't really like interfering in the daily management of the city. If there is anything I don't understand, Ms. Leila can ask him directly.

Especially with some work related to the Trashiel elves, Lynn can help you get on the right track.

Most importantly, Aglaia and Luskan must maintain a balance in quest rewards, and there should be no conflict between you in this regard.

I asked Lynn to prepare the same things as those in the municipal warehouse of Aglaia City. These are the resources I provided for Luskan as the lord. You can choose where to use them.

Whether it is the Trassil elves or Toril adventurers, Luskan can take local specialties as rewards, but the value must be coordinated with Lynn before that.

During this period of time, Lynn will stay here for the time being, and you should discuss it with him. "

Lila nodded solemnly: "Of course, I will definitely act according to the Lord's will."

Lynn 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.

Perhaps Laila really wanted to know about the undead very much, so she almost quickly brought the topic to them.

Regardless of whether the two of them really hit it off in their hearts, at least they managed to maintain harmony on the surface, and that was enough, and Hill was already satisfied.

"Luth!" 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 tasks.

"Ms. Leila, now you can enter the Snow Palace to start Luskan's daily work. I have some tasks that I will hand over to the Trassil elves in the future. I hope you can cooperate happily."

Hill didn't intend to say anything more, and Laila would definitely be more willing to accept Ruth than to send some surveillance personnel who might have selfish motives.

Unless she wants to be the master of Luskan herself.

However, Hill still believes in this lady's character. Even with a terrible political animal like Elastre, the sisters of the Silver Hand family are quite honest.

If they want something, they won't use secret calculations to get it.

Alustriel actually seldom lies, but there are few people who can tell the truth from her words... no, not even gods.

Lila soon took Ruth to work in the white palace named Snow Palace by Hill. Of course, Lynn and the elves who had been watching curiously were also invited.

Luskan actually accumulated a lot of work, but he didn't have a formal status before, and Leila couldn't just take over.

Hill didn't go in with them, the work behind had nothing to do with him, he just looked up at the beautiful white palace in front of him.

This palace with three fronts and three fronts and a garden square in the middle, actually Hill originally wanted to name it the Silver Palace, but unfortunately, the palace in Elastra has already been named that way.

With Hill's lack of ability to name names... I don't want to use the word Bai, Crystal... He doesn't have the courage, so he can only be called Xue.

　Qingxuan ice is only found in the oldest glaciers, and it is usually the glacier dwarves who look for the veins.It appears as dark blue opaque ice crystals that shimmer like gems.At first glance, this cool ice cube looks like ordinary ice, but Qingxuan ice can only be melted in the steelmaking blast furnace.Mining Qingxuan ice from the glacier only needs to melt the surrounding ice, but this also takes the risk of the glacier collapsing.

Qingxuan ice can be cast and shaped like ordinary steel, but lighter.Forged qingxuan ice blades can stay sharper longer than steel.Slashing weapons forged from it gain a +1 enhancement bonus to damage; striking and piercing weapons can be crafted from cyan ice, but have no damage bonus.

The weight of any Qingxuan ice weapon is halved.

The weight of armor made of Qingxuan ice is regarded as a lower level of armor, which is similar to Mithril.Armor has a negligible arcane spell failure chance if and only if a spell with the Chill keyword is used.The maximum agility bonus of armor made from qingxuan ice is increased by 1, and the armor penalty is reduced by 2.If the wearer does not have the frost resistance talent, the Reflex and initiative penalties take an additional -1 penalty; the endure cold feat negates these negative effects.
