Broad World

Using group teleportation to return to the mage tower that once belonged to Ramasis, Henry began to count the gains of this trip. First of all, there are a large number of gold coins and gems, which are initially estimated to be worth at least one million gold coins. Followed by various magic items, scrolls and a small amount of alchemy materials.

Magic items include a magic bullet necklace (fires an explosive fireball, can be used twenty-five times), a magic helmet (can keep the wearer's morale), a light magic leather armor, a strike staff made by elves (each use consumes a little energy, can be used twenty-five times), a sword of flame tongue (the blade is burning with raging fire, and those who are cut will receive additional fire damage), a magic shield cloak (when activated, it forms a protective stance to protect the user from physical attacks), a halfling Crafted enchanted slings, as well as quite a few enchanted weapons, armor and shields.

After Henry threw everything into the warehouse, he came to the Duke's mansion in the northern part of the city alone. Since the border was drawn with Anta Silver Shield, this place has become the office of the Principality of Dalaran. Hawke was here to discuss the planning of the entire country with scholars. In just one month, not only did they start building roads, but Belgost was also expanding.

As soon as he walked into the hall, Henry saw a busy scene. Dozens of messengers were waiting at the door, and every once in a while someone would hand them over with signed orders, and these soldiers would be sent to various places. Looking at these hurried officials, he nodded in satisfaction.

The advantages of having an independent education system are finally reflected here. These young people who have just graduated from the academy are full of energy, and I believe that with their hard work, the Principality will soon be stable and develop. Now that all lands, villages and towns have been taken over, all that remains is to get the administrative system on track as quickly as possible.

Push open the office door. Henry saw Hawke who was arguing with the scholars at a glance. The old man waved a blueprint and shouted: "This is the blueprint you came up with? A city wall made of granite, a steel city gate ten meters high, a majestic city hall, and finally a pavement paved with marble. Do you know how much it will cost? Our place is neither Icewind Dale nor the land infested with orcs in the north. What do you need such a strong defense facility? Take it all back to me and make it again! Remember! What I want is simple and practical!"

"But I heard that Belgost was once besieged by an army of monsters. Moreover, there are many ogres and trolls hidden in the cloudy mountains in the south and the cloak forest in the north. They just need strong walls and various fortifications." A grizzled scholar argued without giving an inch.

Just when Hawke was about to refute, he suddenly saw Henry standing at the door. He hurriedly pushed the scholar away, ran over and bowed, and then began to complain. "My Duke, you are finally here. Look at the scholars you invited. I have spent more than 400,000 gold coins in just one month after taking over here. If it weren't for the support from the treasury on Angome Island, we would have declared bankruptcy a long time ago."

The scholar gave Hawk a hard look just now. Walked over and bowed, and argued: "Sir, we are building roads according to the requirements of the law, and at the same time redesigning the development plans for some large towns. And the villages on the green fields also need to be reorganized, and various agricultural tools and livestock must be purchased. The 400,000 gold coins are only an initial investment, and more financial support will be needed later."

"Oh my god! Just kill me! I really can't get any more gold coins." Hawk screamed and immediately put on a posture that I just have no money, what can you do to me.

Henry hurriedly pulled the two old men who were about to fight apart. He knew very well that what Hawke could use was only taxes, and the commercial trade and magic item sales that made up the most of his income were controlled by the Lord's Mansion and the Mage Tower. Now that he took out 400,000 gold coins in one breath, he had already emptied all the tax money of Angomei Island.

Henry thought for a few minutes and held out a finger with a smile on his face. "Well, for the time being, I have to advance one million gold coins as construction funds. It happened that I went to explore the Tower of Durag yesterday and got the treasure inside."

"Ah! This is simply unbelievable. The treasures of Durag's Tower have been passed down for hundreds of years. Countless adventurers have gone forward but found nothing." After the old scholar sighed, he held Henry's hand tightly and asked: "Your Excellency, since you found the treasure, you must know what happened inside. Tell us quickly, I can't wait to uncover the truth of this legend."

Seeing the scorching eyes of the scholars, Henry smiled wryly and shook his head, speaking selectively of what he had experienced. When everyone heard that the demon hundreds of years ago had been killed, they all breathed a sigh of relief. In the end, Hawke's eyes lit up when he heard that the Tower of Durag belonged to his monarch, and he immediately thought of how to use this place.

He immediately came over and made a slight salute and suggested, "Duke, since the Tower of Durag is no longer in danger, we should send troops there immediately. We can rely on this strong fortress to build several villages around it. This will not only save the trouble of transporting food back and forth, but also protect the Urden trade route leading to the east."

Henry smiled and nodded. He was very satisfied with Hawke's reaction speed. It seems that this person has completely completed the transformation from local management to national management, both in terms of internal affairs ability and political sensitivity.

"I think the same as you. But you must first send a few thieves to clear the magic trap there, otherwise ordinary soldiers will cause disastrous consequences if they accidentally step on it."

"Don't worry, I will go to Robert to ask for someone tomorrow. In addition, not only will I have to deploy an army of 600 people to garrison, but I will also recruit some vagrants to open up wasteland and build villages there. What are the requirements for the garrison army? Should I use the original city guard or the newly reorganized Flame Fist mercenaries?" After speaking, Hawke looked at his monarch waiting for an answer.

After thinking about it for a while, Henry decided to mix it up. After all, the army brought from the island was only more than a thousand people. And there are still many people who have been promoted to officers, the only thing is to control the original Yanquan mercenaries. Although these guys are now working hard for themselves, some of them are still a little bit resistant. As for the problem of the decline in combat effectiveness after mixing, anyway, they don't need to fight recently, so let's get used to it slowly.

Thinking of this, he picked up a pen and paper and quickly wrote down the order for army mobilization. After finishing writing, stamp the noble emblem and magic seal on it before handing it over to Hawke. "Inform Corey to let him dispatch two hundred city guards and four hundred recruits. Remember to ask them to bring a few blacksmiths with the army. There are complete forging facilities in the lower floor of Durag's Tower, and you can repair weapons and armor by yourself."

"No problem, I will tell Commander Corey. Oh, that's right. The Duchess sent someone to say that she will move here with her two children in a few days, so please be prepared to avoid being in a hurry." After speaking, Hawke handed the letter to the guard at the door, who put the letter next to him and ran straight to the original Flame Fist headquarters.

Hearing that his wife was coming, Henry smiled and shook his head slightly. You don't need to think about what Shikodi is going to do, she must want to take the opportunity to let her son Alan be the heir. But these are all so-called, for him who is destined to become a legendary mage, the foundation of an heir is tantamount to nothing.

After all, as long as you don't go to death, it is difficult for even a god to kill a legendary mage. It can be predicted that Henry will inevitably have an extremely long life. It is very possible that when the son, grandson, great-grandson, or even several generations have been buried, he himself is still alive and well. Of course, if one of the descendants can become a powerful spellcaster, it will be another matter.

After handling all the official duties, Henry returned to the Mage Tower again. He intends to use a portal to connect this place with the mage tower on Angome Island. Although the cost is likely to be astronomical, it is definitely worth the money.

First go to the warehouse to get a lot of gems, mithril and some necessary materials for construction, Henry came to the lowest level of the mage tower to prepare for construction. As soon as he entered the door, he was startled by the sight in front of him. I saw rows of coffins neatly placed on both sides, and a lot of negative energy gathered inside.

Sandy, who was doing the experiment, hurriedly put down what she was holding and ran over. "Respected master, these coffins are full of newborn vampires. I have cleaned their memories according to the requirements, and now these vampire girls can't remember anything except that they remember their great ancestors."

"Oh? It seems that your stabilizer formula has been completed. Tell me, how many newborn vampires have you created in total? Have you tested their talent?" Henry lifted the lid of the coffin and glanced at the sleeping newborn vampire girl. Her complexion was pale, and she was lying naked inside.

"Master, this girl is in the stage of metamorphosis. The blood of the ancient vampire is transforming her body, and it will take at least a month before she wakes up. So far, I have created sixty newborn vampires. According to the blood test results, only fifteen of them can become spellcasters, and the rest can only be cultivated as fighters and thieves."

Hearing this ratio Henry nodded. A quarter of the caster ratio, which is enough for him to build a formidable army of vampires. Although the dark elves under Robert are also very good, their number is too small, and there is no way to guarantee the loyalty of these guys.

After checking Sandyr's progress, Henry threw Kiriher, who was imprisoned in the cage, to the sorceress. She was ecstatic and immediately prepared the spell-casting materials, and after a day and night of rituals, she forcibly turned it into her magic pet. Seeing Succubus' eyes full of unwillingness, Henry suddenly felt a lot happier. (to be continued..)
