"Of course, the news of the birth of a Warden in Runetera City not long ago has already spread all over the world,"

Jin Huo did not hesitate to praise at all, and nodded: "As for the Abyssal Oathbreaker, it is also a high-level elemental creature, if I remember correctly, it is the same as the Ancient Storm Warden, it is a powerful elemental creature second only to the Water Elemental Great Lord, what do you mean by ......?" ”

Lu Kuan smiled and nodded: "At most, in a month, the first Abyss Oath Bound Person will be born in Rune City, as for the other wind elements and water elements, the total number of zeros and zeros adds up, there are more than two hundred." ”

"Really?"

Jin Huo was surprised, he just heard that there was a high-level wind element in Rune City, and there was a back-up move behind his back?

Two high-level elemental creatures are enough to reach an army of thousands of people, not to mention, as long as the elemental pool is not destroyed, this elemental creature is basically immortal, and after being defeated, it can be resurrected as long as it takes some time.

Lu Kuan smiled and nodded: "There is no lie, as for the other military forces of Rune City, Lord Lord must have seen it, the guards in the caravan are only a small part of the combat power in my city." ”

The look of surprise on Jin Huo's face didn't seem to be fake, the rise speed of Rune City was too terrifying!

But even so, Jin Huo hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head slightly: "This is not enough, Your Excellency Old Deer, don't underestimate the attraction of the ore vein to the nobles of your country. ”

"Of course not,"

With a confident smile on his face, Lu Kuan said, "Soon, I will form another army, the strength will not be inferior to the current elemental army in Rune City, even in front of Rapids Harbor, I have the confidence to fight with them." ”

"Is that true?"

Jin Huo was completely aroused by interest at this time, staring at Lu Kuan with burning eyes, and there was a hint of fierceness in his eyes: "The big lord can't be so naïve, do you really think that these military forces can make the nobles of the empire jealous?" ”

Lu Kuan didn't care at all, met the other party's eyes, and didn't flinch: "My strength may not be enough, but with the powerful army on Wangcheng's side, it should be about the same~"

The two looked at each other, were silent for a long time, and then raised their heads at the same time and laughed loudly, laughing heartily and wantonly, which surprised the guards outside the door.

"How big is the mine?"

"No less than fifty percent of all the veins that Wang Cheng has now!"

“……”

Jin Huo was completely silent, his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about the pros and cons: the truth of what Lu Kuan said, Jin Huo did not doubt it, he didn't have to wait for the vein to be officially excavated, as long as he sent an experienced exploration team to take a look, he could speculate that it would be true.

What he was thinking about was whether it was worth it to take possession of these veins at the risk of being seen as a thorn in the side of the Northern Empire.

But after just a few seconds, the old lord made up his mind: what is there to fear? If there is still no alternative ore site after the ore veins near the royal city dry up, and there is no need for others to fight, the golden royal city itself will gradually disintegrate from the inside.

Thinking of this, Jin Huo Chong Lu Kuan raised his wine glass, and the glasses of the two touched slightly, making a crisp crashing sound.

"One last question,"

Jin Huo drank the wine again, and said to Lu Kuan with a smile: "Your Excellency Lao Lu, you have this kind of resource in your hand, it shouldn't be difficult to find a partner, why do you want to find our Golden King City?" Isn't there anything else that is difficult to confess to the old man? ”

"Of course, it's because Lord Jinhuo is wise and martial, and his bearing is extraordinary, and the Wangcheng army is unparalleled in the world~"

Lu Kuan said with a smile, seeing a smile on the other party's face that had already seen through everything, he changed his words: "Of course, there is indeed a small matter that needs your help." ”

Jin Huo smiled heartily: "Your Excellency, please say, as long as I can help." ”

……

Half an hour later, Lu Kuan left the Imperial City alone, rushed to the teleportation array step by step, and returned to Rune City.

At this time, Tao Bo had just rushed back to Rune City when he was called over by Lu Kuan.

"Tauber, there's something you need to do personally,"

Lu Kuan took out a detailed map of the northern part of the creeping jungle, and after unfolding it, he pointed to the old man and said, "Go back to Muyu Village now, take Schlund and a group of experienced miners to this place." ”

Tao Bo looked at it and found that Lu Kuan was pointing to a barren forest swamp nearly a hundred miles east of the trade route, and not far south from there was the area of the swallowing swamp.

"There is a large mineral deposit there, and in two days I will go over with the Great Lord of the Golden King City to talk about cooperation,"

Lu Kuan briefly explained the matter, and then focused on instructing: "Let Schlund lead people to dig out a few mining sites first, remember, only look for the south side, and this piece of land in the north is where we will be in the future." ”

Tao Bo understood what Lu Kuan meant, and said suspiciously: "My lord, are you going to cooperate with the Golden King City to develop the ore vein?" If the city of Isa knows......"

As the elder of Rune City, Tao Bo is well aware of the delicate relationship between Rune City and the nobles of the Empire, you must know that so far, the upper echelons of the Empire have not received even a single copper coin tax from Rune City.

"It doesn't matter if you know it or not, anyway, Rune City is also a piece of fat in their eyes now, if you want to live comfortably, it's not enough for us to hide our strength,"

Lu Kuan waved his hand: "You have to change from fat to hard bones that they can't bite!" ”

Lu Kuan's words touched Tao Bo's heart, before in the Banyan Plain, Qingshui Village had been bullied by the lava castle, and Tao Bo had already seen through the faces of these rulers.

Thinking of this, Tao Bo listened more attentively and took Lu Kuan's instructions to heart.

……

On this day, the three griffons set off from the Golden King City, flapped their wings and flew north, disappearing from the view of the city's inhabitants in an instant.

It is said that a few days later, some people who were on the trade route saw the griffins flying into the swallowing swamp, and some people said that the griffons were domesticated by the lord of the Golden King City, and this time they may have come to inspect the trade route, and it is estimated that they have gone all the way north to Rune's City.

Opinions differed, but in the end, no one found any trace of the griffin, and in the few days that Jin Huo had disappeared inexplicably, no one knew what had happened.

Day 4.

Lu Kuan stood in his home in Rune City, and beside him were the Grand Lords of the Royal City in military uniforms, Tomrenar and Jin Huo.

Around the small courtyard outside, almost all the guards in Runetera were there, and Ron and Baker were also present, blocking the water of the small courtyard guards.

At this time, Jin Huo looked solemn, holding a small box with red lacquer coating and a square foot, and solemnly handed it to Lu Kuan.

Lu Kuan also lost his usual cynical smile, took the wooden box with both hands, and unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is the best one I have in my hand, I hope you can put it to good use, Lord Deer,"

Jin Huo stretched out his old right hand, patted it lightly on the wooden box, and said, "In addition, I wish us a smooth cooperation." ”

"The collaboration went well." Lu Kuan smiled happily.
