Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 850 Intrigue, Everyone Gets What They Need
Lynn smiled and looked at Patriarch Huber struggling over there: Adanke's formal robes had been pinched out of creases by his fingers that had no place to rest them.

They are very clear that the city of Aglea can indeed reject those messy caravans, and the needs of a camp can basically discourage these caravans running around the mainland.

Of course, there will be caravans organized by the good camp, but two or three caravans a year will be good.

But if the benefits offered by Chang'an Town are not high enough, Lynn can definitely let the caravan detour from the edge of the city to the road by the sea... Indeed, Aglaia City still can't earn the money of those passing caravans However, it is impossible for Hill to expand his inn and warehouse on the edge of the main road for these guys. Maybe the port power in Waterdeep City will be the cheapest in the end.

But it depends on the attitude of Chang'an Town... Hurting others is sometimes a happy choice.

Adan hesitated for more than ten minutes, and finally made up his mind: "Except for the spells and alchemy methods related to family inheritance, other materials of the Huber family can be shared with Aglaia... I think the person who transported these materials The time is enough to occupy the traffic volume of this road for a hundred years."

Lynn showed a disapproving smile: "The rules set by Aglaia will basically not change. We don't bother to listen to such a century-old agreement... That stuff sounds good, but it is actually It can be torn at any time in order to gain the upper hand.

The Harbell family doesn't think that Kelben will have the ability to suppress our lord when Mystra returns, right?
Forget it, I don't need to care about your opinions...

Everyone understands, and I used to be a member of the Harpers... Some things, just because I don’t say it doesn’t mean I don’t know.

Furthermore, what kind of courage do you have to deceive Lord Aglaia, who can consult the gods at any time?

Even if I am short-sighted and accept your conditions, how can I be in charge of such a formal treaty?

Aren't you afraid that after this kind of treaty is delivered to him, it will anger an archmage who doesn't even dare to confront Kelben?

This condition is meaningless, so Patriarch Adanke should go back and discuss it with his clansmen!

I'll give you a month, please give me a satisfactory answer before spring comes. "

Lynn curled her lips in disdain, as if who doesn't know that the real good things of their Harbell family are actually in the hands of those archmages?
The information sent out in the name of the family is probably not as much as the resources collected by Hill himself.

What Hill really wanted was actually the information of the dark mages of the Harbell family in the underground world, but it was impossible for him to bring it up.

Lynn knew very well that in order to gather enough resources to impress Hill, the things in the underground world must be sold the most and the fastest... Toril people are best at deceiving people with mineral-rich underground world resources.

The information they gave is definitely not fake...but in the underground world, surrounded by so many evil forces, those who can keep those minerals...either the dark elves and beholder mind flayers with countless slaves, or all kinds of dwarves.

The more precious the mineral, the stronger the enemy it represents... For example, the precious materials that mages need very much are likely to be occupied by Dilro dwarves... These ugly dwarves are the natural enemies of mages.

Dilro dwarves are covered head to toe with colorless skin, and the blue arteries and copper-colored veins under the skin can be clearly seen.

This translucent skin tissue lacks the ability to protect against sunlight, so an average Dilro dwarf will die in less than a day of exposure, but this skin also provides unimaginable spell resistance.

Although I don't know how Hill knew about the shortcomings of the Dilro dwarves...the Toril people have very little information about them.But Lin En didn't bother to ask his friend...it was just another god friend of Hill.

Since the last time I heard that even Shar was a guest in that small study, Lynn never wanted to know how many Toril gods Hill knew.

It's really unbelievable that someone can make friends with Shar and Su Lun at the same time, instead of being beaten by both.

Lin En looked at Patriarch Huber's blushing but speechless appearance, and smiled: "Then, please! Patriarch Adanke, why don't you ask Archmage Marco's thoughts?"

Patriarch Huber got up angrily, and when he reached the door, he pulled out a jet-black puppet carriage, and got into the carriage without looking back.

Lynn watched the carriage leave, and couldn't help but shook his head and smiled: This kind of carriage rarely appears in the hands of low-level mages, and Adan, who is only level 10, can drive it casually. The ability to create strange objects is indeed Toril's second to none.

Of course, others may feel the wealth of the Harbell family more... But not to mention the exquisite and expensive carriages in Hill’s hands, that is, the ones used by the undead to make cages, they are all better than the Harbell family. The carriage is much stronger.

Lynn thought in a daze that he had to contact more friends from the past during this period. It happened that Hill had a lot of white-throated birds, and he could drive them as he pleased... Otherwise, as a native of Toril, he probably I don't even know where the price level of this world is.

While thinking about the communication content that might irritate his former friends to the point where he no longer wants to care about him, Lynn walked leisurely into Hill's study.

"Good day, Lynn." His friend greeted him with a cheerful smile, and it seemed that he already knew what kind of stimulation he had received in front of the White Dragon Mountain Range.

"Good day, Hill." Lynn showed a fake smile, "But next time, if you are willing to hand over the task of communicating with the undead directly to others, I will be more at ease."

"Actually, you can hand over the task to our city guard in Aglaia." Hill suggested very sincerely, "After Luskan's joint battle, I think Oster has adapted to communicate with the undead. .”

Lynn nodded thoughtfully: Oster is indeed very suitable, and he is also a voter. His spiritual sea is protected very firmly and will not be shaken by some incredible things... As long as the god of swordsingers and Oster has gained a bit of the past of the elven god system, and the Shining Swordsman should be able to face all the chaotic scenes calmly.

Anyway, he can see Hill's attitude, as long as he doesn't push this kind of troublesome matter to Hill, he can hand over the matter to whomever Lynn... There are only a few people in Aglaia City who can do this kind of thing , or Oster, or his cousins.

Lynn still has a bit of brotherhood and can't be so cruel.

He directly changed the topic to avoid his friend's evil intentions. Although Hill is a good person, he is a good person who can get along with Xiao Huaxian happily... Even if it is a prank that goes to the end, it is best not to do it to yourself.

"I reckon that if the dark mage from the Harbell family really knows about the Dilo dwarves, they will definitely tell us about the mines they occupy as property resources." He said with a smile, "The patriarch didn't talk to the The idea of ​​us getting along... if there was any hope of weakening us, he would never hold back.

I specifically mentioned Marco, he might think that what we want are high-level wonders or even the manufacturing method of the Tower of Twilight. "

Hill smiled and nodded: "Very well... I believe that the Harbell family will know a little bit about the Dillo dwarves. It is impossible for them to completely avoid dealing with outsiders in the underground world.

The dylo dwarves are very fond of raiding dark mages, and robbing them is much easier than robbing dark elves.

Lin En really understands these mage families very well!Directly found the most uncomfortable part of the Huber family.

Marco, hehe..."

Marco Harbel is also a follower of Mystra. Before he was promoted to a level 20 archmage, he stayed in the Black Rod Tower as Kelben's staff.

After he becomes an Archmage, he will have to leave Waterdeep City. There is no other way. Apart from Kelben and Lyra, the Black Rod Tower cannot accommodate the existence of a third Archmage... Top resources are not so easy to collect. Kelben couldn't afford him.

So Marco could only choose to go back to Chang'an Town to find his own way, and finally built the very famous Tower of Twilight on the edge of the Neverwinter Forest.

This kind of magic circle that allows a magic tower to be hidden directly into the dimensional space and return to its original place at any time is the secret of the archmage, and he is also good at making rock guards, the staff of the archmage, and missiles. Staff, Ring of Featherfall, and Ring of Warmth.

The basic production methods of these magic equipment can be known as long as you have money, but the similar magic equipment produced by Marco is almost one-third higher than the ordinary ones, so in the Northland, he is already second to none. master.

To be honest, in terms of making strange objects, it was Mark who laid the foundation for Kelben that there were so many apprentices in the Black Rod Tower who could make elementary strange objects.

That's why when Lin En mentioned Marco, the Huber patriarch would be so vigilant... They would rather pay more resources than let the inheritance of the master alchemist be left behind.

But for Hill, if it is only increased by one-third...it is no different from waste, and what he made casually is almost double the effect.

If it is handed over to Fran to study it carefully, Hill probably can double it several times... There are indeed many types of magic equipment in Toril, but the level of precision is much worse than that of Traciel.

It may be because of the relationship between the magic net that the Toril people did not study the characteristics of various materials so meticulously.

Lynn couldn't help laughing, and he didn't think Marco had anything worthy of Hill's covetousness. The little thought of the Harbell family was completely misplaced, but it happened to be what they needed.

"So, I'll wait until spring to get the information about the Dilo dwarves." Hill was silent for a while before saying, "It's best that the White Dragon Queen has helped the undead find the underground passage before that."
