Early on the morning of the 15th, Rand was about to leave the salt mine, and Ben Call and Pete Maned Wolf came to see him off.
"I might stay a few more days," Ben explained to Lant,
"Although at dinner last night, I felt that you were exploiting Wendy too much, but when I went back and thought about it, I felt that we should reinforce the roads and buildings in the entire salt mine while the magic goblins are still there. Peter's team happened to be there. You can test whether it runs smoothly.”
"Thank you." Lant was very happy that Ben could figure it out. Ben's enthusiasm for the salt mine at least shows that he regards this place as his own business.
Before leaving, Peter asked Lant quietly.
"Sir, you can leave Wendy here like this. You are not afraid of this mage..." Peter winked in an unserious manner.
"Pete" Lent smiled and patted Pete on the shoulder.
"Do you know why I was able to advance from beginner to intermediate and now to advanced so quickly?"
"Well, of course it's because you are a genius, sir." Peter was suddenly confused by Lant's words.
"Because I never meddle in other people's business!" After saying this, Lant mounted the Fire and flew alone on the ice field. When Lant is on the road, he will put a complete set of tents, sleeping bags, magic jars, and supplies into the space ring. Everyone will rely on these supplies to spend the night on the road.
But when returning, only Liehuo accompanied Lant, and without other people to drag him down, Liehuo burst out at a high speed that surprised Lant. A film surrounded by wind and fire seemed to form in front of Liehuo and Lant, and Lant rode on Liehuo couldn't feel the coldness of heaven and earth at all.
From early morning to noon, Lant found that he had walked half the way. In order to reward Agni, Lant specially prepared feed mixed with magic grains and monster meat, which was Agni's favorite food during this period.
When they set off again in the afternoon, Liehuo continued to move at high speed. By evening, Lant could already see the shadow of Ye Qicheng. He couldn't help but feel happy when he thought that he didn't have to spend the night.
So after feeding Liehuo another high-quality dinner, Lant hit the road again, and finally arrived at the city exhausted at 9 p.m.
After a day of running around, Lant had an unusually good night's sleep. It was almost noon the next day when he opened his eyes tiredly.
"In my dream last night, I actually dreamed of riding a horse to test my driver's license, and the examiner actually said I was speeding." After getting up, Lant was still recalling his bizarre dream.
"Sir, are you awake? What time did you come back yesterday? When I just passed by the stables, I felt that the fire was a little wilted." The first person to come to Lant was Neil.
"Ah, how about Agni?"
"It's pretty good. I haven't seen you for a few days and I feel like I've gotten bigger again. I guess you've had another breakthrough." Neil mentioned Li Huo with some emotion.
"It is estimated that if this continues, it won't be long before it becomes an intermediate level monster." Neil turned around and thought about it, and he became happy.
"If we really break through to the intermediate level, then our group of black-scaled horses will be very powerful in the future."
"Well, we will definitely be able to break through. How old is Agni Fire? She has great potential!" Intermediate monsters correspond to mid-level professionals. Warcraft at this level can exert an influence on the population. It can be said that if Agni can really break through the intermediate monsters, In the future, there will definitely be several Warcraft horses in her group of black scale horses.
"By the way, what's going on outside now? How many tribes have defected here?"
"About 4 or 5. My soldiers said that there are several medium-sized tribes that are also coming. I estimate that after this winter, we can have 1,000 more people here." Neil's messengers have returned one after another, and are coming Several small tribes came back. These tribes had run out of food rations and were using long-haired sheep to support themselves. Lant was willing to accept them, which was a great grace to them.
"Sir, a letter arrived from Lot's territory yesterday. It is for you. Please tell me to find you as soon as possible." As he spoke, Neil took out a letter and the outside of the envelope was sealed with a wax seal.
"Huh? The count wants to summon all the vassals?" After opening it, Lant found that it was a recruitment letter from the Earl of Maned Wolf, requiring all the vassals who received the letter to arrive at Maned Wolf City by February 25 at the latest.
"What does this mean?" Lant was a little confused about the content of the letter.
"I think you should go to Lotland and ask Master Huck!" Neil naturally didn't understand the meaning of the letter, so he could only suggest this.
Today is the 16th. Lant needs to get to Maned Wolf City within 9 days. The time is not sufficient, but it is still enough.
In the afternoon, Lant sent Lili out of the city first, because Lant arrived at Yeqi City on the day he died yesterday, even earlier than the messenger arrived, so Lili learned from Lant yesterday that she needed to go the next day. Salt mine.
"Sir, you are too biased." Lili in the carriage got out of the carriage as soon as she saw Lant seeing him off by the roadside.
"Can you bear to let Wendy stay alone in the salt mine? As a best friend, you should spend more time with others."
"You can let Kai Yin pass." Lili was a little unconvinced.
"This mage has been teaching Wendy how to draw magic circles every day for the past two days. You'd better not fall behind. If you can't become a high-level or mid-level mage in the future..." Lant said with a smirk on his face, as if he was saying Several girls are to be married off to other nobles.
"Sir, I have been working for you, you can't just abandon me like this." Lili heard what Lant meant and became even more anxious.
"So you have to practice quickly." Whether it's Wendy, Lili, Lant, Ben, or everyone from the Galloping Horse family, they all know that on the harsh magic plains, every magician is a very valuable resource. , it is impossible for Lant to let any girl run away.
However, Lant usually likes to tease and play with the girls, especially after getting their families back.
The girl hugged Lant goodbye and got on the carriage to go to the salt mine. Lant rode on horseback to inspect the ruins of the workshop 20 kilometers east of Yeqi City.
Ben mentioned this area where workshops once gathered before they set off. When they finally arrived, Lant first saw a forest and then a hillside.
Benmahe's tributaries flowed between the hillside and the woods. The bottom of the hillside was artificially dug into cave dwellings, with some artificially leveled foundations and bricks all over the ground.
Lant entered from the cave and found some huge caves that seemed to be the remains of blast furnaces used for iron smelting. The layers of magic circles carved on the ground had lost their light, but the huge space and the traces of magic left behind still made Lant wonder. Shocked.
Outside the cave, there is a deep pit that looks like it used to be a wastewater pool, but is now covered with lush weeds. There are also looming flame runes in several slightly smaller cave dwellings.
Obviously, this is the ruins of an industrial area. It has convenient transportation and topography, and the location is also very secluded. It is quite close to Yeqi City. Lant is very satisfied and feels that this place can be reused in the future.
