On the morning of May 22, Lant took Elsa Tieyan to the west again. After several days of replenishment, the staff at West 9 and West 10 Station Castles were in place. Lant sent Elsa to West 10 Station. , joining the team of High Knight Petreu Lanyuan, they will continue westward to the Iowa Pass.
Outside the castle of West 10th Station, Lant had already seen several barbarian tribes stationed there. Most of these tribes were tribes responsible for the transportation of iron ore, which were sales channels. Neil began to take over several transportation tribes, large and small, in March. Therefore, after the iron ore production resumed, a round of integration among the transportation tribes was spontaneously completed.
"Sir, we estimate that we can reach the Iowa Pass within two weeks," Petraeu reported to Lant. "According to your request, each post station will provide trade and services to the surrounding barbarian tribes. Many barbarians will take the initiative to provide services to the surrounding barbarian tribes. We provide information on mountain passes.”
"Have you seen the Orc tribe recently?" In contrast, Lant was more concerned about the Orcs.
"There are barbarians who have seen them, but they are far away from us and have no ill intentions towards us." Petraeu looked at Rand and asked tentatively: "Sir? How is the situation with Waynes? Did they just arrive at Yeqi? A city?"
Petreu Lanyuan led people to explore westward, while his cousin Waynes Lanyuan started to develop eastward from the iron mines. However, Waynes' team went eastward by land and just arrived at Yeqi on the 18th. City, and then they took a boat to the iron mine first, waiting for the magic goblin Teresa to finish working in the new area, and then they could open up eastward together. As cousins, Petreu and Wayans have competed with each other since they were children. Now that they are each responsible for east-west development, they are naturally striving to surpass the other.
"They have just arrived at the salt mine, but Teresa is still in the new industrial zone. It is estimated that it will take two days to start exploring eastward. You don't have to compete with him here. The key is to keep an eye on the reactions of the orcs and orcs." Lant Instructed.
At noon, Lant quickly arrived at the half-orc tribe 50 kilometers away to investigate, but found that it was a mixed tribe of rabbits and half-rabbits. The tallest pure-blood rabbit in the tribe was less than 1.7 meters tall. . Hundreds of orcs built a large number of underground caves around a hillside.
In front of a crypt, Lant rode on fire and approached as clearly as a locomotive. A few hundred meters away, a rabbit man named Robert came up to him and asked Lant politely if he wanted to come over to rest and if he needed anything. There was no need for dinner, which made Lant feel embarrassed, so he followed Robert into the crypt to visit.
This is a small tribe, with a total population of less than a hundred. They rely on the magic of the life system to treat surrounding tribes and deliver babies to maintain the tribe's food rations. The tribal elder's room even contains a migration certificate left by the God-Emperor a thousand years ago, proving that this tribe is a legal resident recognized by the empire. Lant gave the rabbits some grain and monster meat, expressing his willingness to maintain peace with them, and then left.
Although the iron ore has been obtained now, the pressure from the Orc Royal Court is becoming more and more real. If you want to keep the fruits of victory, you can only improve your strength as soon as possible. Lant, who is sure that there will be nothing in the west for the time being, can only return quickly.
However, when he was approaching Yeqi City, Lant heard that the portal in the ruins was activated and two people came. This was transmitted to Lant through a signal from the inn. Even though it was said that two people were coming, they did not say it specifically. He could only ride straight to the foot of Padmira Mountain in a hurry, and finally saw Tania.
"Those two should be from the imperial capital. I checked through the magic network. There is a dwarf who is probably in similar condition to the mage Ben Kaul." Taniya's meaning is very simple, dwarves are legends.
"Is that the legendary trumpet?"
"Absolutely. The other one looks to be around mid-level, but his condition is a bit problematic. Maybe he has eyes that are legendary or above!"
"Hey, really, how come the barbarians didn't see any of them when they attacked Lot Castle?" Lant was a little helpless. He had seen legends too frequently recently.
"They are in your tent now. They visited the magic workshop just now. I felt that I couldn't stop them, so I asked Wendy to take them there."
"Okay, I'll go meet them." Lant knew that if any legend came to his place, he would come and go, and he would take it as his own. But Lant is not too worried. There is a reason why the two human empires have failed to annex the Dragon Kingdom for thousands of years.
As soon as Lant entered his tent, he saw two people, one was a dwarf who was taller than the Demon Holder, and the other was a young man, of average height but with handsome features, wearing a priest's robe.
"Ah, hello, young man," the dwarf said hello as soon as he saw Lant, "I am Sherman, and this is Alexei Zhuoqin."
"Are you the chief of the Salt and Iron Department?" Lant had seen this name on all the main salt and iron pots and naturally recognized it.
"Yes, so don't be nervous. I just heard that you have different ways of using salt pots. Come and take a look." The dwarf said with a smile, "Don't worry, the big pots sent to the salt mines were all in accordance with the rules." The elimination will be crossed off the account, even if you change the usage, I won’t take it away!”
"Chief, isn't it good for you to promote the financial skills of the Imperial Salt and Iron Company in this way?" The young man beside the dwarf couldn't help it. "Hello, Lord Viscount, I am the descendant of the legendary mage Zhuo Qin. I am following Sher Chief Man came here because he wanted to see the city that our ancestors participated in building."
"Of course, I'll show you around." Lant didn't believe a word of what the young man said, but he still had to be polite.
A few people started chatting while riding eastward, "Sir, Mr. Sherman and I visited your magic workshop. It's really amazing." Alexey sighed, "I didn't expect that intermediate magic plants could be used like this. Life in a breeding tank”
"Don't the life magisters in the imperial capital have such an idea?" In Lant's opinion, it is almost natural to use nutrient solution for soilless cultivation.
"No, for life-type magisters, they don't need a breeding tank to make magic plants grow quickly. They don't even think about using earth and fire items to add life-type magic."
Alexey's words gave Rant some inspiration. "You mean, just because they are familiar with it, they won't bother to study other magics. That would be an unfamiliar field for them?"
"Yes," the young priest smiled, "and the instructors are all very respectable, so I'm too embarrassed to ask other instructors."
What Lant didn't expect was that both the legendary dwarf and Alexey were very easy to talk to. They were willing to share various information about the Imperial City with Lant, and even made some suggestions.
