Chapter 146
Chapter 146
After traveling for eight days, Lucius and his party finally returned to the sphere of influence of the Woodland Kingdom.Legolas, who was absent-minded all the way, went straight back to the Elf King's Hall, and only made an appointment with Lucius to visit his mercenary friend at Long Lake when they parted.Annis was still hesitating whether he should follow Lucius closely, but he was finally persuaded by Lucius, and returned to the kingdom with the elf prince, and at the same time brought himself to ask Lucius for help along the way. Piggyback all the gifts for Silvana.
When leaving Rivendell, Lucius deliberately chose the early morning.Without saying goodbye to any of the elves, they left there.Therefore, when they arrived, the entire Changhu Lake was still ignorant of the mayor's return.
Riding through the checkpoint on the edge of the Elf Trail, you can have a panoramic view of the brand-new Long Lake Town.Isgar, which was sleeping peacefully in the middle of the long lake, has been replaced by a bustling town, and half of the city built on the shore has erected solid houses, row upon row.The other half of the bustling harbor on the lake is full of boats, large and small, which is a lively scene.The planned farmland outside the city is orderly and lush.Although it is not yet the harvest season, it is already filled with joy.
The humans working around the farmland were not curious about the visitors coming from the direction of the elf kingdom, they were obviously already familiar with such a situation.Lucius rode his horse across the land until the checkpoint on the city's outer wall was stopped.
The guards at the door were elves, and they didn't recognize Lucius right away until he revealed his face from under his hood.
The excited guard led the horse for Lucius, and hurriedly sent a message to the temporary mayor of Changhu Town.
While Lucius was still enjoying the wide streets he had never seen before, Qi Lier, who received the news, had already rushed over.The female elf, who was already much calmer than before, was so excited that she almost cried when she saw Lucius.After calming down, she began to count down the development of Changhu Town during this period.
Lucius was away for a year.
But maybe because humans and dwarves have their own more serious affairs, the year without wizards is also very peaceful.The pre-planned city was completed on schedule, and Long Lake became prosperous after attracting a group of humans who came to seek refuge due to the plague crisis.Migrating peoples also brought caravans, and cities that had access to the products of elves and dwarves were immediately favored.Although Lucius only set a very loose tax requirement in order to stimulate human production and settlement, a prosperous city does not take much time to bring abundant harvests to the town's warehouses.
"Your Majesty and the dwarf king haven't come to carry their share of the harvest yet, but Bard sent someone over two months ago. He was very surprised by the final income of River Valley City, and he sent a letter back on purpose. As for the ones that belong to you, I have ordered them to move them to your new mansion on time." Qi Lier excitedly pointed to the new house in front of her.
The people of Changhu did not forget their mayor. During the process of city construction, the City Lord's Mansion, which was not in the plan, was also built.This manor belonging to the city lord on land is not as luxurious as the former mayor of Changhu, but it is also spacious and grand.
"The first floor is the living room, office, dining room, and study, as well as the residences of the guards. The basement is your private warehouse and storage room. The guest room, living room, and private study are all on the second floor. The bedroom is located in the northeast There are balconies on both sides, and you can see most of the city." Qi Lier led the way enthusiastically, and introduced Lucius to his new residence in detail, "Here, there is a secret building next to the bedroom. This room can only be accessed from your bedroom. I think you must still make potions, and you don’t want to be disturbed by others... By the way, there is a small storage room in this room."
Lucius looked around and didn't speak.Qi Lier didn't hear any response after introducing everything, so she couldn't help asking Lucius for his evaluation.
"Very good." The wizard was indeed very satisfied, especially with the design of the potion room at the end.
"Then you won't leave after you come back this time, right?" Qi Lier immediately asked expectantly.
"I won't leave for the time being." Lucius asked back with a smile, "Why, can't you handle it by yourself?"
Qi Lier quickly shook her head: "But this is home after all, isn't it? And you are not here, I always feel that I have no confidence. Fortunately, this year has been smooth."
Lucius smiled and didn't answer, and asked about Meyersi's situation.
"He went to the pier to buy dinner materials and said he would prepare a big dinner for you."
"Where does he live now?" Lucius asked.
Before the wizard left Long Lake, this human who decided to stay temporarily was temporarily active as his chef.After a year of slack, it's clear that's a changing identity.
"He lives next door to me, with Ivan and his wife. Before Graton Plain encountered a plague, Meyersi heard the news from Baird and was very anxious. He ran back to Graton without saying a word But then they all came back together. Now Ai Fan and his wife opened a hotel near the pier. He usually helps there. Two months ago, the members of their mercenary group still gathered here. After that I got a commission from a caravan and went to Rohan." Qi Lier muttered, "By the way, for the hotel, I provided them with the initial funds from your personal assets according to your instructions in the letter. Ai Fan Every month, half of the income and taxes will be sent over."
Lucius nodded and said, "Very good."
"Someone is cleaning here all the time, and so is your bedroom. You can live in it anytime. Why don't you rest first, and we'll come over at dinner time." Qi Lier finally felt relieved after finishing all the things she had to explain. ready to leave.
Cheryl had arranged everything in order, and Lucius had nothing more to worry about.However, he still called his right-hand assistant: "When you are free, please ask Galian for me. I need a list, and I need all the materials that can be sold in the kingdom."
"Didn't you come from the kingdom?" Qi Lier asked in surprise.
This time the wizard didn't explain any more, just shook his head and sent Qi Lier away.
He didn't want to have more intersection with the elf kingdom, so he didn't go with Legolas and Anis.He didn't even stop at that fork too much.
After checking everything in the bedroom, Lucius carefully set multiple warning spells.The two watchtowers outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the bedroom have excellent views, not only in the direction of the Woodland Kingdom, but also in Riverdale City, Erebor, and the port of Long Lake.But bright rooms also have a corresponding flipside of not being safe enough.
However, on the whole, Lucius was quite satisfied with all the arrangements made by Cheryl.
Besides, the hidden potion room is an arrangement worthy of praise.
After confirming that it was safe, Lucius started to put all the tools in the potion room in the tent in place, including the portrait of the tabletop that he had never moved.
"You actually took out all of these. Are you not going to continue traveling the world?" The glass bottle that was also put out soon made a sound unwilling to be lonely.
Lucius ignored Dragon Spirit's voice as usual.
However, this time there was movement and stillness in the always silent portrait.
"I thought you were still looking for materials and inspiration." Snape glanced at the unchanged placement on the materials shelf, and asked.
"A lot of materials are still on the way, and I have given commissioned orders in every city." Lucius paused, and then continued, "As for inspiration, there are some, and there are none."
"Didn't the elf lord say that you have found the answer? What is it?" Long Ling continued to ask unaffected.
"In the recent period, I will test the performance of various materials as soon as possible." Lucius then only said to the portrait.
"What are you going to do?" The person in the portrait raised his eyebrows, seemingly surprised.
"I searched a lot of elves' information, but I didn't find many records about power. However, there are very detailed records about the baptism ceremony of the elves." Lucius further explained, "This kind of ceremony can use the elves' spring water This powerful liquid unleashes the potential of elf babies, giving them a better chance to grow into powerful and excellent warriors."
The wizard took a blank piece of parchment and drew two circles on it: "Our magic comes from our soul, and if my magic is marked by darkness, then the source of the problem lies in the soul." , not sex." Lucius tapped the circle inside with the tip of his pen, "In other words, the baptism against sex will not work."
"If even the elf lord knows this, why would your elf king want you to be baptized?" Long Ling, who never missed the discussion, asked again.
This time, Lucius finally responded to him.The wizard straightened up, and said calmly, "So, he gave up his tough request at the beginning."
"You mean, he later found out that the problem was not with the baptism, but he still kept persuading you with the mentality that he could try?"
Dragon Spirit once again lost the wizard's response, Lucius was silent for a while, and asked Snape: "Do you have any suggestions?"
"I remember saying," said Snape sternly, "that I can't help you think."
"If the key to the problem lies in the soul, it means that it is difficult to change. The instability of my magic power is due to the mismatch between the physique of the elves and the power of the soul. Therefore, I am going to start from the direction of power balance or soul potion. You put Tell me all the recipes you know."
"Even if you know all the possibilities, you may not be able to replicate successfully. You simply cannot determine all the properties of these materials." Portrait is not optimistic about the method Lucius chose.
"I can try one by one until I find the result." The serious wizard replied affirmatively.
Snape twitched his lips: "Do you still have time?"
The author has something to say: Thank you for your mines~~
