Lant's idea was very simple. He didn't want to waste too much time. The sooner he could control the Iowa Pass in the west, the better. So he first went 80 kilometers west, and together with Elsa, he built the West 10th Station and let Petra Wu and the others came over first to take over, and the other teams slowly came over from the West 8 camp. The castle and the ground were ready first, and slowly waited for the residents and barbarians to move in. By the time the West 10 and West 9 stations were almost settled, the royal capital was It was all over, and Elsa came back and followed the knights from West 10th Station to the west.
So when Petraeu led a group of knights to the 80 kilometers west of the West 8th Station, he saw the station castle that was almost the same as the West 8th Station, and the already completed Lant and the two big goblins saw them. , and started heading eastward.
From West 10th to West 8th Station, because two castles had to be built and 80 kilometers of road hardened, Lant walked for a whole day. Once he passed the West 8th Station, the speed naturally became faster after the big goblin did not need construction. On the evening of the 14th, Lant was only two stations away from Yeqi City, and the reason why he did not arrive within one day was that Lant encountered several waves of subordinates returning to the city along the way, and each time they had to exchange greetings for a long time.
On the morning of the 15th, Lant finally arrived at Yeqi City with the two great fairies. Tania and Teresa, who had arrived yesterday, knew that Queen Teriana wanted to see them, so they simply returned to the underground ruins and workshop area. .
As soon as Lant arrived at his cellar tent, he heard Wendy bringing someone to find him. The entire iron mine has brought 3 intermediate mages, 12 junior mages and 10 wizard apprentices to Lant. In addition, there are 24 demon possessors under the age of 14. These children have excellent qualifications and are very likely to become Sorcerer's Apprentice.
This was the first time that Lant had so many magicians in his account. In order to further understand their level, he specially asked Tania and Wendy to examine the basic skills and spell-casting level of these magicians on the way back.
This time Wendy came to report and only brought Lili, Jonny, Sophia, Firefly, Little Red Bird and centaur girl Kaiyin, which are the seven girls in the magic workshop.
"Sir, I feel that not all of these magicians have very good abilities. For example, Mrs. Shafana Feilong is said to be the only junior female magician in the iron mine. But apart from being able to shoot a few fireballs, she can't do anything else. There is nothing left." Wendy held a stack of letters, which contained basic information about the mages.
Shafana Feilong's family comes from the Feilong family branch of the Eastern Marquis. She and the other five adult female demon possessors are all the wives of senior knights or mid-level mages in the iron mines.
"Yes, sir, I used to think that Little Cardinal's foundation was relatively poor, but after looking around, we discovered that Little Cardinal's magic level and spell-casting ability are among the best among them." Jonny complained.
"What you said is wrong. Our little cardinal was also personally instructed by Queen Padmilla. How can we be compared to ordinary magicians?" Lant smiled and patted the little cardinal on the shoulder. It is normal for some girls to look down on those mages. First of all, these mages are used to being lazy. They went into the iron mine knowing that they could not be rescued. They lived a life of superiority to others in the mine, and they have long been tired of magic.
Secondly, Wendy and the others are indeed very good. Not to mention Wendy, who is a born magician, several other girls are also very sensitive to magic. How can they be so talented that they can be squeezed out by big families? Those mages are on par with each other.
"That's why I asked you to help me test their level. The junior mage status of Mrs. Shafana Feilong is purely to find a good family. Now you ask her to join your workshop, and she is still not happy. "Yeah." The most important reason why Lant wants to test the abilities of all magicians is to add members to the girls' magic workshops. Lant certainly doesn't think that there will be natural magicians among these people, but every There are a large number of mid-level or even low-level magicians in the magician's workshop. Each type of magician in the workshop has a clear division of labor, allowing the magician to draw the most difficult magic circle or magic pattern, and use the high-level power to Use it in the most difficult places, which is what Lant hopes to do.
"But you can't kill everyone. No one is born as an intermediate mage. If given the chance, many junior mages will also have high growth." Lant has always adhered to the principle of teaching without distinction. I hope someone can be beaten to death with a stick.
"In this way, let's give them a rough look tomorrow and let them make their own choices." .
. On the night of May 16, Lant specially opened a banquet hall in Padmila Palace and brought his father, uncle, eldest brother and knights from the Galloping Horse family.
After nearly 5 months of hard work, the Benma family not only returned to Yeqi City, but also occupied the iron mines and salt mines, restored the new industrial zone in the east of Yeqi City, and owned 4 magic goblins. Such a huge How can you not celebrate your achievements?
The Luoyuehe Banquet Hall is a rare small banquet hall in Padmila Palace. The entire banquet hall is less than 1,000 square meters, but the decoration is quite luxurious. In addition to the magic crystal lamp on the ceiling, the gorgeous parquet marble floor on the ground, and the huge drop-offs on the walls. In addition to the tapestry of the Moon River scenery and the pure gold angel sculptures on the 12 decorative columns on both sides of the hall, there are also rare large west-facing windows and observation decks, which are extremely valuable for a building built in a mountain. of.
The layout of Lant's celebration banquet is somewhat similar to the layout of the banquet in the magic school in the previous life movie. There is a long table on the rostrum, where the members of the Galloping Horse family and four tutors sit. Below are three vertical rows of long tables. From west to east, the first row is the galloping horse family knights, Wendy, Kaiyin and other girls, the second row is the knights who joined Lant's territory during the salt mine, and the third row is most of the magicians in the iron mine. and a few knights.
When the banquet began, Huck Galloping Horse, who was already a senior knight, was the first to speak, welcoming the arrival of the three magic goblins and the mages who had returned from the iron mines.
Huck was not very good at speaking in public. He just said a few words of thanks and welcome and that was it. The reason why Lant insisted on letting him speak first was because he hoped that all the demon-lovers in the territory could understand that his father could serve as the representative of the territory. , to prevent problems when I go on an expedition in the future and ask my father to take care of me.
"Dear mages," Lant originally wrote a speech to introduce the future plans of the territory. However, thinking that there were too few representatives of iron ore on the table, he had said it for a long time now and might have to say it again in the future, so he changed it. change,
"You have all met Master Tenia and Masters Wendy and Lili. With their efforts, we have a top-notch magic workshop in Yeqi City."
