The eastern sky is white, and a trace of light is revealed, indicating that the sky is about to dawn.

At the end of the night's conversation, Sherlock stood up, not too tired. After finishing the last conversation with Richard, he waved goodbye to Richard, picked up Lucia, the maid who was still sleeping, and walked towards the convoy down the mountain.

After a short time, Sherlock led the convoy back on its journey, heading off into the distance, preparing to head to a special harbor and take a large ship to the main continent.

Standing on Rocky Mountain, Richard watched Sherlock's motortrip away, thinking thoughtfully about the conversation during the night.

It must be admitted that, according to Sherlock, the main continent is attractive to him and is a good place to go, but ...... But you can't go now.

After all, there is something very important to do right now, and you have to hurry up.

The next moment, Richard turned and looked at the tent set up on the mountain.

The many soldiers and the four wizards of Teddy living in the tent were all too tired after the day's earthmoving work yesterday, and they were sleeping soundly at this time.

Richard watched, watched, and shouted very thoughtfully: "Commander Udon, it's dawn, tell everyone to get up and work." ”

......

It didn't take long for the Rocky Mountains to be busy again, a new day, a new earthmoving job.

Eventually, the crowd spent another busy day digging up the planned area on Rocky Mountain, but no ruins of the small village of Artis were found.

Without hesitation, leaving a small number of troops to maintain control of the city of Auburn, Richard led the rest of his men eastward, following a predetermined route. Next, he continued to break through the cities, and continued to excavate again and again, and the location became closer and closer to the Deep Blue Castle.

The rest of the directions and the rest of the people are similar, under the absolute superiority of troops and the number of wizards, the major wizarding organizations quickly occupy one city after another, occupy one resource production area after another, and surround the Deep Blue Castle in the form of an encirclement.

......

Hawkes Kingdom, Greystone.

After a modest battle, Greystone was conquered. After the conquest, only a small number of besieging soldiers were stationed in the city to maintain law and order, and the rest of the soldiers went to a mine outside the city.

Inside the mine, in a huge warehouse.

A wizard from White Mist City walked, looking at the boxes in the warehouse, his lips pursed slightly. The deputy city lord who surrendered in Greystone City followed behind with a flattering face, and kept introducing: "Wu ...... Wizard, you see, all the mine's output is here. Iron ore here, copper ore over there, silver ore on the corner, and of course the most important thing is that the contents of this row of boxes are all good gold mines. “

After listening to the words of the deputy city lord of Greystone City, the wizard of White Mist City moved his eyebrows, stopped his steps, and opened the box containing the gold ore, and saw that it was an irregular ore glowing with bright gold inside. I picked up a piece and looked at it, because it was not processed, it was very rough, but even so, the value was still very high.

As long as you occupy this mining area, you can obtain such high-value gold ore in a steady stream.

Although the wizarding organization does not value money, but more importantly the resources related to spells, such as the materials used to cast spells and the body parts of demonized creatures, it does not mean that money is meaningless to the wizarding organization. On the contrary, money is very important to a wizarding organization.

You must know that in addition to wizards and wizard apprentices themselves, there are many ordinary members of the wizarding organization, and it is impossible to ensure the operation of the entire organizational system and make it function efficiently without money.

After all, no matter how powerful a wizard is, he can't use life and death to control everyone's work that doesn't need to be rewarded at all. Even if it could be done, and a groom could be completely relentless in his work, it would take less than three days for the groom to die—starve to death.

As a result, wizarding organizations don't value a small amount of wealth, but they value an entire mine—a lot.

"Smack!"

The wizard of White Mist City threw the ore in his hand back into the box, made a soft noise, and slowly turned to look behind him.

The deputy city lord of Greystone City nodded and bowed, waiting for orders.

But the wizard of White Mist City looked beyond him, looked at a man in iron armor further behind, and ordered: "General Orric, you send a team to send the gold ore and silver ore from this warehouse to Twilight City, and give it to General Hawke there, he knows what to do." Also, you arrange for your men to guard the entire mine and not let any strangers in. If the other party wants to force their way in, don't hesitate to attack directly. If the other party has extraordinary powers, don't worry, I'll get a few wizards in the organization to cooperate with you later. ”

"Yes. The man in iron armor nodded without a smile and responded solemnly.

At this time, the wizard of White Mist City turned his head to look at the deputy city lord of Gray Stone City who had surrendered, and said, "Mars City Lord, there is also something you need to do. ”

"Wizard, you say. The deputy city lord bent down.

"That is, you have to get the fugitive miners back and resume production in the mines. ”

"Yes, Lord Wizard, I'll do my best. ”

"It's not about trying, it's about definitely. The wizard of White Mist City corrected, "Give you three days, if you can't do it, then you are a miner here." ”

After speaking, the wizard of White Mist City patted the deputy city lord on the shoulder, turned around and walked out.

The deputy city lord named Mars froze in place, his expression was ugly than crying: "Three...... Three days?"

......

The kingdom of Dora, the city of Carlo.

Warehouses in the city.

The Rose City wizard in a red rose robe squinted at the large crystals placed in the boxes in the warehouse, and her brows furrowed slightly. After looking at it for a while, he turned his head to look at the trembling young man next to him.

The other party looks to be in his twenties, very young and handsome, and is said to be the prince of the Dora Kingdom, fifth in the order of succession. Therefore, even if the other party doesn't have much ability, he can become a city lord at a young age.

The sorceress glanced at the other party and asked aloud, "There are a few crystals in this warehouse, right?" I remember, you are famous for the crystal mines in Caro City, and they shouldn't be so bad. ”

"Witch ...... Wizard Master Mingjian, it really shouldn't be so bad. The young prince said in a trembling voice, "Yes...... A few days ago, an order came from the royal capital, saying that the battle line was unstable, so all the crystals stored here were transported to the royal capital. But...... However, the ore veins outside the city are still there, and the miners are not scattered, so they can resume production quickly, and in just three months, they can get a new batch of high-quality crystals. ”

"Three months?" the sorceress shook her head, "I can't wait that long. Aren't you some kind of prince, go and write a letter to your king father and tell him to redeem you with crystals. Take as many crystals as you take from Carlo City, get them back, or your life will be in jeopardy. Well, give him two days to think about it. ”

"Two ...... Two days?" the prince swallowed, his face full of tears.

......

Holy Alliance, Holy Lake City.

At noon, the wizard of Death Valley, dressed in a cyan skull robe, walked outside the city, looking at the large swaths of short, yellowed and withered plants in the fields, his eyes narrowing slightly.

The plant with short and thick stems is a specialty of the vicinity of Sacred Lake City, and has a variety of magical uses, both as a high-quality spell casting material and as a raw material for mana recovery potions. In comparison, it is not so important to be able to satisfy hunger as food.

A stocky middle-aged man followed closely behind the Death Valley Wizard, his name was Moko, and before the arrival of the Death Valley Wizard, he belonged to the fringe of the Holy Lake City. He was only responsible for repairing the walls and cultivating the fields outside the city, but now he was the nominal supreme ruler of the city.

For no other reason, people with higher status than him were all killed by the wizard in front of him. In fact, he should have been killed, but before he died, he shouted "I just repaired the wall and farmed the land, and I didn't do anything bad, spare me", and he was really spared, and then got the right to rule the entire city, and accompanied the wizard to the field outside the city.

How to put it, I can only say that fate is wonderful enough.

Seeing the Death Valley wizard in front of him constantly looking at the short, thick-stemmed plants in the field, Moko felt that he should have guessed the other party's thoughts, and leaned in to flatter: "Lord Wizard, look, these are all Shirley Ross flowers that are only found near Holy Lake City. Now that the flowers are blooming and ripe, the wizard has come at the right time. If I need these sherry flowers, I can harvest them all in a whole day. ”

"All day?" The wizard of Death Valley said in a hoarse voice glancing at Moko as if he were looking at an idiot, "Fool, I have so much time to wait for you! I'm going to get out of here tomorrow morning and continue the attack, so you'll have to finish it before it gets dark today, and then I can get it to be transported, you know! ”

"Half ...... Half a day?!" Moko swallowed.
