When you return to Norland, a Grand Magus who is proficient in alchemy will engrave the magic circle and activate the power of the Shadow Diamond, and the box will become a magic sealing box with a spatial effect. Two shadow diamonds can make the internal space of the sealing box the size of a brick on the surface reach about two cubic meters. The space-insulating power of the shadow drill can also produce a complete weight reduction effect. As long as no more than two tons of items were placed in the sealed box, Richard only felt the weight of the sealed box itself.

The Sealed Chest itself has reached the level of an epic item, and even without considering the materials, the cost of workmanship alone is worth a lot. Eventually, at Barmore's insistence, it served as a symbol of friendship in the Crucible Kingdom without charging any fees.

At this time, on the border of the Crucible Kingdom, Richard's logistics convoy had arrived. Amid the cheers of thousands of dwarves, barrels and sacks of grain were unloaded from the wagons. Subsequently, large quantities of weapons, ingots of metal, ore, as well as bundles of muskets and dozens of barrels of gunpowder were loaded onto the wagon.

The wine and grain brought by Richard were worth nearly a million gold coins, especially grain, and the dwarves paid a high price of one hundred and fifty gold coins per ton of grain, and they were willing. Strong dwarves eat much more than ordinary humans, and a dwarf eats at least a ton of grain a year. Richard brought 3,000 tons of grain, which meant that the Crucible Kingdom could feed an additional 3,000 dwarves. And Richard will continue to bring in grain.

In the abundant Faro, there is no shortage of food in the human kingdom, and in the rich grain-producing area, a ton of grain can be bought for only twenty gold coins. Of course, if you ship to the Pale Heights, you will need at least fifty gold coins per ton of freight. If the large amount of materials exchanged from the dwarven kingdom is transported back to the human kingdom, the value will be multiplied several times, and the final value will reach five million gold coins. Crossing the Bloodstained Lands requires a distance of thousands of kilometers. Large-scale caravanserais, which can go back and forth two or three times a year.

With the opening of the passage to the Pale Heights, super-large caravans were able to pass through the Bloodstained Lands, and for the first time, the delivery of goods could be carried out on the scale of a thousand tons. Richard also planned to set up two large supply camps in the former Canovinson camp and Split Rock Canyon for the supply of caravans, and stationed heavy troops to maintain the safety of the entire trade route.

Even without taking into account the future caravan gains, the longitudinal line plan alone alone yielded more than five million. After deducting costs, freight and various military expenses incurred by the war, there will still be a net profit of nearly two million. For Richard, he will get a quarter of the income this time, which will be 1.2 million. And because the troops under his command were either born slaves or brood combat units, the battle losses were originally lower than those of the aristocratic army, and the pension was much lower. Therefore, in fact, Richard's expenditure was much less than that of other nobles, and the total was about 500,000, so Richard's final direct gain was 700,000.

By opening a trade route across the Bloodstained Lands, two caravans of the same size can be maintained, for a total of five round-trips between the Crucible Kingdoms per year. Of course, the size of the caravan could not be as large as Richard's logistics convoy this time, but there would not be such large casualties, and there was no need to pay a huge amount of pension. Therefore, the net profit of each caravan should be about two million, so the annual profit generated by this trade route will be about ten million, and the value is completely immeasurable.

According to the original agreement with the nobility, Richard would take a quarter of the ultimate profit in the trade route. In other words, as long as the passage to the Pale Heights is controlled, Richard will have an annual income of two and a half million.

Of course, Richard actually gained much more than that. In Jubwal, Richard alone found rare materials worth six or seven million, and the value of the Book of Bearers and the Blood of the Holy Spirit was immeasurable. The idols of divinity plundered from orcs and various barbarian tribes are equally indescribably valuable. If you have to find a way to measure it, it is the price difference between the seventh-order brood and the sixth-order brood, which is the value of these divinities.

Running through the line, such a crazy adventure finally succeeded, and the harvest was just as crazy.

The huge force slowly returned, leaving Richard with a garrison of 1,000 troops each in the intended supply camps of Canovingson and Cracked Rock Canyon. A huge order of slaves has been sent to the merchants, and soon 10,000 slaves will arrive at each of the two camps and construction work will begin.

When Richard returned to the Blue Water Oasis, it was nearly three months after the Second Expedition to the West. Bluewater Oasis City is back to life, a large number of humble houses have been built, and a large number of adventurers from the human kingdom pour into Oasis City every day to begin their adventures in the Bloodstained Lands. Before Richard had even returned to Oasis City, news of the success of the Vertical Line project had already reached the Redwood Kingdom, and it was quickly spread to several neighboring countries. After a few transmissions, the information becomes a rumor, and a few more times it becomes an absurd legend. Later, at tea time, in the mouths of the nobles, the ore in Richard's carriage had turned into precious stones and gold, and the length of the convoy had expanded several times.

The Land of Blood has transformed overnight from a land of dangerous death to a land of wealth full of gold, and legend has it that it is possible to dig up gold with a shovel. So countless criminals, thieves, thieves, adventurers, in short, people who can't get along in the human realm, flock to the bloodstained land, to the place where this dream began.

Back in Oasis City, Richard was immediately faced with how to divide the spoils. The huge success of the longitudinal line plan, and the huge benefits that followed, were enough to drive people crazy. How to divide this cake became the source of disputes among the nobles. Richard was not only concerned with how the cake should be cut, but also with how to make sure that the cake was not touched by anyone else. Fortunately, at this point, the interests of all the nobles involved in the longitudinal line plan were aligned.

Another problem is the Mage's Guild. Richard believed that the last contact was enough to show his attitude, and if the Mage Guild backed down, Richard wouldn't mind making some concessions. He didn't really plan to work with the Mage Guild, but just to stall for time. Noland's biggest advantage is that it is strong and mage, Richard can easily recruit dozens of mages of about level ten in Norland, and can buy sophisticated enchanted equipment in batches, and these two are the foundation of the mage association. In this regard, Richard did not see any need to preserve the Mage Guild in his planned future.

In the harvest of the dwarven kingdom, Richard has already withdrawn his share of the income in advance. The main thing he got was high-quality weapons crafted by the dwarves and black-forged iron ingots. These dwarven weapons were also all made of high-quality forged obsidian, which was superior to the Rafite iron weapons that Richard had obtained from Norland. There were four hundred of them, and Richard was going to ship them all back to Norland, where they would be enchanted by the mages before being shipped back to Farrow for sale. In addition to this, Richard also received five pieces of fine art as a personal gift from Barmore. These weapons are also based on forged obsidian, but they are obsidian iron punched on the artifact anvil, which is qualitatively different from ordinary obsidian. These obsidian irons are endowed with power by artifacts, and naturally possess the attribute of toughness. Barmore's prowess gives these weapons a sharp character. This is where the Dwarven Forge Master comes in, and the quality of the products they produce will all come with the same natural attributes. This attribute can be stacked with enchantments.

Like Bamore, a batch of dual-attribute boutiques, with two additional magic effects, can reach the level of epic items. During Barmore's lifetime, there were occasional three-attribute superlatives. And such a superb has the foundation of legendary equipment.

The five weapons Richard was given two war hammers, two one-handed axes, and one two-handed axe, all in the dwarven style.

In the past three months, Richard has not been idle, especially in the month of his stay in Forge, he hastened to complete three Savage Barrier sets, and finally completed Neris's commission. In addition to this, Richard's own magic power has also increased, and it is already close to the thirteenth level. Even if he was doing his best to nourish the talent bloodline of the Phantom Star, in another month or two, he would definitely be able to advance again.

By the time he was thirteen, Richard would be almost eighteen years old. An eighteen-year-old thirteenth-level great magician, even if he is placed in Norland, is rare. However, Richard didn't know where the bottleneck of his magic was, maybe eighteen, maybe twenty, maybe twenty-one.

Now the priority is to return to Norland once. Richard had to turn all his wealth into power, and the vatars he had received from Jubvar were to be sacrificed in exchange for divine grace. After consulting with Quicksand, Richard decided that the sacrifice would be held in the Temple of the Eternal Dragon in Faust. The upside is that the loss of charisma will be greatly reduced, and more charisma will be gained. On the other hand, although there are a lot of divine graces lost during the Faro sacrifice, they are actually used to strengthen the Book of Time and the connection between Eternity and the Dragon of Time. Therefore, the more sacrifices are made in Faro, the less the loss of divine grace will be.

After returning to Oasis City, Richard first sent a hundred humanoid knights, alerted by three elite bats, to rush to the turbulent land with the blood of the Holy Spirit and give the brood the brood and some items with divinity obtained from Canovensson and Jubvar. At the same time, Richard left Oral and Clark as representatives to participate in the negotiations with the nobles, while he himself took Gonde, several strong Akmund warriors, and quicksand to quietly pass through the plane teleportation array of the Guò Time Beacon and returned to Norland.
