On the six underground floors of the palace ruins, Gulea Blue Dragon and Wendy, who had witnessed the entire six-floor space go from pitch black to brightly lit, kept checking between dozens of huge machines.
"I'm afraid this is the most valuable place in Yeqi City," Gu Leiya stroked the huge casting machine, "I'm afraid these are all left over from the goblin era. Wendy, have you studied world history before? I remember the Blue Dragon The academy’s curriculum includes specialized goblin language courses.”
"No." After the magic furnace returned to normal, Wendy's attitude towards Gu Leiya became very cold. "I didn't have time to learn and was sold to the barbarians!"
"Really?" The dragon girl stopped and looked at the girl not far away, "But I specifically asked the teacher who taught you back then. You only graduated after studying with the teacher from the Purity Tower in the Imperial Capital for half a year. matter."
"We come from a small place, can't we learn the difficult foreign language?" Wendy was a little impatient, "No matter what time period the magic pattern on it is from, the most important thing is to understand it and be able to modify it in the future."
Wendy, who had been yelling for a while, saw that the dragon girl stopped talking to her, so she muttered in a low voice, "You know a lot, so there's no need to show off."
Gu Leiya lingered among the many machines, trying to find some ideas for controlling these ancient relics, while Wendy found a new room along the magic circle on the ground, which was a magic ladder connecting the underground to the ground. Dragon Girl and Wen Enter together with Di to avoid the pain of climbing stairs.
The speed of the magic questions is not very fast, but the area inside the elevator is quite large. The two girls stood at the two corners of the elevator.
"Are you still angry with me?" Gu Leiya asked, "Dragon language, goblin language, elf language, dwarf language, aquatic language, orc language, barbarian pronunciation, the spells and rune logic of each race can be It is reflected in the language of this race. If anything I said brought back bad memories for you, I apologize to you, but I hope you will find time to learn these language knowledge. Because you are smarter than others, in You can improve more by studying than others.”
"Oh, I see," Wendy's attitude softened a lot, but she was obviously not interested. "By the way, your purpose of coming here is really to teach us magic? Just because of Tania's words ?”
"Am I here? Of course it is to pursue the exploration of magic. Looking back now, it is quite strange. In school, Lant once fainted because he read too many magic books at the same time. Later, he was anxious to return to the territory. I still feel He has given up on exploring magic." Gu Leiya closed her eyes and recalled her previous views on Lant, "But I didn't expect that in just a few months, he has already reached an advanced level in magic theory. , becoming a real magician will be a matter of this year."
"What do you want to say?" Wendy couldn't help but asked.
"I'm thinking that maybe the concern for the territory will not stop the exploration of magic," a rare smile appeared on the dragon girl's lips, "Jealousy will."
…
In the early morning of the 20th, on the top of Padmila Mountain in Yeqi City, three people were looking at the hive area a few kilometers away.
After construction in the early morning, the central magic tower has reached a height of 240 meters, and the entire area has completed the construction of all 61 hexagonal plots in the concept, which is a miracle.
The last of the three was the legendary mage Ben Call. He looked at the project in the distance with a rich expression: "This kid really sleeps during the day and works hard at night. He is simply bullying us old guys who live a regular life! What's the matter? You’re just afraid that we’ll come and watch, so you’re building the building quietly at night, right?”
At the front of the three people was Alexei Zhuoqin. At this moment, the priest's eyes were filled with golden light, and his body revealed a magnificent aura. In the eyes of the legendary mage, there was an illusory figure above the priest's head, and they were watching the distance. Tower.
"Hey, I'm sorry for Queen Padmilla!" The magic elements around the priest vibrated and formed a sound. Only three people could hear the sound, but it was extremely loud.
"Your Majesty, it was at the time when the attack of the fallen demons was at its most intense. At that time, the Temple Alliance was in decay and in urgent need of reform. The dragons in Red Dragon Rock were addicted to succubus and could not extricate themselves. We had no choice but to take away the members of the Benma family. Reinforcements and wealth will be used to fight the demons first." Behind Alexei was a mage named Befen Klein. At this moment, he was similar to a priest, and his magic power formed a virtual image of the mage above his head.
"The key is that no one could have imagined that that group of orcs would actually think that an industrial city should store countless gold coins. They have no idea about industry at all." Ben Call took over the words, "They even wanted to loot the goddess of commerce. 's temple."
"Yes, the orcs acted recklessly. As a result, after the city was broken, the entire orc court's source of iron tools and magic plates was cut off. The captured magicians had to be invited to work, and the beast king even had to be re-elected to take the blame. This is brewed by the orcs themselves." "Befen" comforted "Alexey", "Besides, you are also worthy of the Benma family. Before the country was destroyed, you used the Tower of Purity to cultivate their high-level family. After the country was destroyed, you specially trained them. Allocate funds to specifically approve admission places.”
"I think I owe nothing to the Benma family, but what about Queen Padmila? She sacrificed herself and forced the orcs to withdraw from the city. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid Yeqi City would really have become an orc city." Alexei's voice became even lower, "As for the quota for the Benma family, it has cultivated a group of fans for the Fiat, but what did the people who really restored Yeqi City gain? If I hadn't come here personally to do it, I was almost fooled by that boy from Charlton. Ben, did you get control of all the hidden stakes west of Maned Wolf City?"
"I got it, but there are many local nobles here, and Charlton's control over the subordinates is not very strong. He relies entirely on his direct subordinates to pass on orders," Ben said in a low voice.
"Hmph, even though he can't control the people in the place, he is still doing trouble here all day long? Still using the name of the Tower of Purity every day?" The priest was obviously very dissatisfied, and there was even explosive magic in the air around him. element.
"Your Majesty? What about the galloping horse fund subsidy? Do you still maintain the current method?" The mage asked the priest in front of him carefully, turning his attention away.
"Then even if the legend of the Foundation Board is blind, organize an audit team and ask Frank to send a more powerful auditor to find out how many tricks Fiat has done," the priest said, and he couldn't get angry at the mention of Fiat. , "But in terms of principal, I'm afraid this can only be done. The entire fund is now the cornerstone of the empire and cannot be touched by anyone."
"I heard from people in the Department of Finance that the amount involved in the fund principal exceeds the currency in circulation in the empire? Is this a bit too exaggerated?" Ben was a little worried, "Even if a large part of it is the shares of various magic workshops, then Doesn’t it mean that the empire is using all its magic workshops to support the Galloping Horse clan?”
"There are historical reasons for this. When we faced the demons, the Tower of Purity and the Imperial Capital Finance Department ran out of money. They issued a large amount of war bonds but no one bought them. His Majesty brought the Ye Qicheng Finance Department here. The remaining balance was spent on bonds, and the military expenses, subsidies, and pensions of the nearly 20,000 soldiers of the Benma family were exchanged for war bonds." Bei Fen explained, "The loyalty of the Benma family to the empire back then was completely exhausted. The last drop of blood.”
"Not only that, they even mortgaged Yeqi City, otherwise where would the collateral for the war bonds come from?"
