Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 851 Preliminary Contract

After Hill immersed himself in the study and finished copying all the magic books on the seven shelves behind him, the footsteps of spring finally arrived.

The Harbell family has delayed for a long time. They seem to want to see if Hill has any plans for their family, or if they are interested in some secrets of their family... Although the Harbell family has not passed the 30th level That kind of legendary mage, but the archmage of more than 20 levels has never been broken.

Of course mages are very dependent on talents, but no one believes that a family never lacks geniuses... If IQ can be so accurately inherited, the world should belong to these mage families... So many forces in Toril actually want to know The reliance of the Hubbell family.

It's a pity that Hill is completely dismissive of their little secret... Let's talk about it when there are more than 30 levels of legendary mages appearing steadily!

So when there was no movement at all on Aglaia's side, the Hubbell family finally visited Lynn again honestly. They didn't dare to take chances anymore, and their neighbors really didn't seem to care.

This time when the patriarch Adanke came in a carriage, although he was the only one who got off the carriage, there was actually a level 20 archmage and two level 17 high-ranking mages sitting in the carriage.

Hill, who was sitting in the study silently using scribes, couldn't help turning his head to take a look: Marco actually came by himself... Are they planning to burn the boat?
Hill hesitantly put down the pen in his hand: For the Harbell family, the importance of Longsaddle Town seems to be unbelievably great... Although the Toril people are nostalgic for their homeland, when encountering a crisis, they never Will not be reluctant.

As for the Tower of Twilight, based on Hill's research on the jewel-encrusted magic circle, this tower can actually be moved a short distance.

In other words, Marco is actually mentally prepared to move...

Hill was silent for a while. Generally speaking, he would have such a cautious and defensive attitude, but he would never give up unless he had to. It only proved that Changsan Town was studying something that would lead to catastrophe if it failed and exposed. thing.

Hill turned out the map and studied it carefully for a while: According to normal history, Neverwinter should be destroyed by a volcanic eruption 100 years later.

So when Hill moved to the edge of the Undead Swamp, of course he didn't want his own city of Aglaia to be destroyed because of this kind of thing, so he went to observe the Neverwinter Mountains where the city of Neverwinter is located... but there is an ordinary There are no traces of volcanoes at all.

Hill even went to check the status of the underground... Although Neverwinter has dug many tunnels, it is still tens of thousands of kilometers away from the fire of the leylines!
Later, Hill thought that it was because of the reorganization of the world that the fire of the leylines was slowly flowing... So when the blue light disappeared, he re-observed.

Instead, a vein of small ground fire appeared 3 meters underground on his side, and Hill had to send it back to a deeper underground place by himself.

There is still nothing going on under Neverwinter.

Only then did he realize that natural disasters can be predicted.

The prosperity of magic is predicted in this world. If there is really an earth fire rushing upwards, there will be no news of Neverwinter... At least the royal family of Neverwinter will not be unable to escape.However, they were wiped out.

This can only be a sudden man-made disaster.

So the reason why the Tower of Evening Twilight was built on the edge of the Neverwinter Forest was really just because that place was suitable?
Hill smiled silently, and decided to repair the underground on the east and north sides of the territory in two days: it would be best to turn them into refractory materials.

Although Lynn didn't know that Adan came with backup, he could also feel the attitude of Lord Harbell without hesitation.

Moreover, when he flipped through the list that Adan could bring, he found that the directory related to underground resources even listed the enemies near each resource.

The name of the Dilro dwarves appeared next to many precious minerals: blood glass and glass crystal iron, the most precious materials in these two lava minerals... the appearance of blood glass is close to obsidian, which is formed by the mixing of magma and dragon crystal deposits , very sharp, but easily shattered by sound waves, and is often used to make ammunition.

Glazed crystal iron is a natural metal formed in lava. After refining and forging, it will appear bluish white and emit emerald green reflections. It is also sharp, but it can resist sound waves.

These two kinds of minerals are actually controlled by the Dilo dwarves who are good at making alchemy items... The dwarf musket must be their commonly used weapon.

Lynn also saw several kinds of minerals that mages would be tempted to cherish, and they were actually controlled by the dwarves of Dilo... Looking at the label of the Harbell family, these minerals are also very rare in the underground world... as far as Lynn himself knows, the dark mages Here, there are several people who are not much worse than Kelben, but none of them can grab these minerals from the Dilro dwarves.

It is even possible that these minerals were snatched from them by the Dilro dwarves...

Lynn silently turned over the pages at a constant speed... The people who gave this information to the Harbell family had no good intentions. They tried to make Aglaia think that the reason why the Dilro dwarves are powerful is because of the dwarves in their hands. Guns are particularly powerful.

Although for them, these materials are exactly what they want... Finding out where the Dilo dwarves are is their purpose for so long.

But this does not mean that there is no problem with the Hubbell family's approach.

Lynn turned to the end silently, and the Harbell family unexpectedly sent a large amount of specialties from the abyss and hell, as well as some resources from Heaven Mountain.

He couldn't help but look up at A Danke.

Patriarch Harbell quickly understood Lynn's meaning, and said with a smile, "There is absolutely no need for the Harbell family to make a fool of themselves in front of that Archmage Hill... If he wants to, it will probably be easy for him."

Adan Ke looked pointedly at the northeast side of Aglaia City, where the cemeteries of Tire believers and Sulun believers were located.

With the gods of the elves and these two gods of Faerun, Hill really can get whatever he wants.

But that doesn't mean...the Hubbell family can justly use this excuse to give less.

Lynn sneered: "If you want to keep some spell knowledge, don't skimp on resources... We all know what these magic books you have brought out mean... At most, you can pay Candlekeep less copying fees .

Is Aglaia short of that money? "

Adan Ke quickly took out another list from the ring on his finger: "I'm too stingy... There are only so many family assets, and it's too unacceptable for me to consume them all at once... ...I'm really sorry for my greed, so is it okay to add these?"

After Lin En took it, he took a quick look, and then couldn't help but look up at the Lord Harbel. The material on it was Joseph Garden Heart Cable. This kind of thin and flexible metal wire can only be buried in deep Found in the mineral lode beneath Joseph's Garden, which belongs to Mystra.

The Harbell family can only get this kind of material from Kelben who traded it to them... It seems that the relationship between Changsaddle Town and Kelben is indeed close enough, and they will exchange information on such things.

There was a smile on Adanke's face.

This kind of material is what they think Hill absolutely does not have... They have studied this wealthy neighbor for a long time. Lord Aglaia does not have much need for wealth, but for things he does not have, especially various resources , even if it is not very useful, he will still turn his head and look at it, and even try to collect it.

Lynn, as the most trusted person of Lord Aglaia, would not be ignorant of this.

The Joseph Garden Heart Cable, a material that can increase the physical defense and magic defense of the armor, is indeed useless to the wealthy archmage, but it may be the thing he is most interested in in this pile of materials.

For the Toril people, as long as they have the courage, they can always get all kinds of minerals from the abyss and hell, but there are not many materials from the kingdom of Mystra.

Even Kelben can only take out so much, and according to Black Rod, it is impossible for Erastriol to have so many Joseph Garden Heart Cables in his hand.

If Hill heard this kind of statement, he would probably just laugh: The son of Alustriar formed a guard team!
Do you want to guess if their armor has been strengthened with Joseph Garden Heart Cable?The only use for this thin material is to add defensive buffs to armor without adding weight.

But to a certain extent, Kelben is not lying... After all, it has been used up.

Lin En went through the list of resources again, making the other party fully feel that he only paid attention to this part, and then nodded slightly: "Our lord is actually not very willing to let caravans from non-good camps pass through the city of Aglaia.

Therefore, as long as Long Saddle Town shows proper sincerity, we will add a faction monitoring circle to the entrance of the road... No one is willing to brave the red light to enter the sphere of influence of the Trassil elves.

Even if the abyss lord comes, they will not be soft. "

Adan breathed a sigh of relief. Although he paid more than half of the family's wealth, in fact, no matter how much these resources are put out of the warehouse, it will not affect the operation of the entire family... As long as the status of Chang'an Town is still there, they have There are countless ways to fill up the warehouse again.

If the status of Chang'an Town as a traffic hub is no longer maintained, then the Huber family insists on staying in this place, which will attract some attention... Of course, the Huber family knows how many archmages have inspected the place they are in , including Marco's good friend Kelben, couldn't help but look for any special resources near the Harbell family the first few times they came.

But even if it is a god, as long as it does not come in person, but only a clone, it is impossible to find the secret of the Harbell family!
Adan looked at a decree issued by Lynn: Aglaia City only welcomes the existence of the good camp to set foot on their territory.

There is only one seal of the city lord on it.

Just waiting for those resources to get to Aglea.
