Thinking of this, Duke Myron's entire thoughts and train of thought changed, he suddenly put away his murderous aura, returned his long sword to the sheath, and silently turned around and left with the warriors under his command, no matter how strange the eyes of the people around him were, he was a duke, how could he not even have this thickness of his face,

As soon as Duke Myron left, Richard's costumed knights also retreated to the floating island,

After all the silence was quiet, a rhythmic and pleasant sound sounded in the teleportation hall, and two puppets walked over, one of them pulled up the long sword inserted in the ground, and the other took out a red light from his chest, shining on the defect on the ground, and foam continued to gush out of the defect, filling the gap, and after a while, it became smooth as a mirror, intact as before, and the two magic puppets immediately walked back to their original positions and stood up, and became like two statues,

This kind of scene has long been commonplace in Faust, and there is nothing unusual in the slightest.

Not long after Richard returned to the floating island, the envoy of the Duke of Myron arrived.

This time the envoy was very respectful, so he met Richard in passing, this time the Duke of Myron mentioned that Luo Qi was not physically harmed, and Link was also very promising, so he wanted to exchange Link for the traditional ransom method of the nobility,

The messenger then handed over the ransom list, which was a very sincere figure even from Richard's standpoint, and indeed exceeded the value of Link himself, and one of the baronies in the northwest border area was even more eye-catching,

Obviously, the imposing duke in the teleportation hall just now had already prepared something else in private, this territory was by no means thrown out casually, but the result of investigating and analyzing Richard's needs, which was the area where Richard had announced in the House of Lords that he planned to develop the dukedom.

Although the barony proposed by the Duke of Myron is not large, it is rich in products and convenient transportation, although it is not directly adjacent to the Maple Fire City that Richard obtained from the Silver Sword Family, it is connected by the same continental road, which will be much more convenient for both marching and transporting supplies, and it is an ideal forward base, and Richard's army can rely on it to continuously drive into the western frontier.

It's just that Link knows too much, and his actions are also pure malice and unforgivable.

Richard raised his head to look at the envoy with an earnest face, showed an inexplicable smile, and shook his head with some regret, not surprisingly, a trace of anxiety immediately flashed in the messenger's eyes, and he squirmed his lips a few times, wanting to say something, but stopped,

Richard supported his forehead with his hand, lowered his gaze, and continued to look at the list, as if he was considering, but in fact his thoughts had drifted away, the Link incident actually reflected that after the plane development entered a stable development period, there would inevitably be a problem of recruiting professionals to manage, no matter how powerful the family was, it was impossible for all positions to only use blood relatives, especially the special professions of military craftsmen, magicians, and priests, and although the recruiters would sign a contract at the beginning, require guarantees, and set joint and several liability, but there was really evil** The only thing that takes effect in the end is power,

The ransom that Duke Myron took out was indeed a lot, far more than the value of an ordinary constructor, Richard's fingers flipped through the list, and it could be seen that the duke felt that Link had the hope of becoming a great constructor in the future, so he would make such a bloody investment, but Richard knew very well that Link's talent was limited, and it was impossible to make any more progress on the road of constructing.

But these are not the point, the real key is the meaning behind the Link incident,

Link entered the Farochi Workshop, although he took the path of recruiting magicians in Deep Blue, but his strength at that time had already exceeded the standard, which was equivalent to working for Akmund at a reduced price, but he was able to hold such an important position in the Luoqi Workshop, and he also had a lot of freedom of movement in the Blue Water Oasis, in addition to his personal strength, it was because of the guarantee of the family, and the cooperation tendency that the Myron family had been vaguely expressing, in other words, if Link was a magician with no background, it would be impossible for him to come into contact with the core secrets of the Luoqi Workshop in just three years,

Now it seems that the pleasant cooperation between the two sides has completely ended, and will turn to another hostile extreme, Richard smiled slightly, he has not studied how other families deal with this kind of situation, and the next time he asks Nolan to collect information, he will try his best to make up for this knowledge, but before that, he doesn't mind letting Faust see how Richard Akmund handles,

Richard raised his eyes, summoned the messenger who was beginning to show a look of unease, handed him the list, and said lightly, "This ransom is too little for a future great constructor." ”

The messenger flew away and flew back,

This time he brought a new list, on which a barony was added, as well as a large number of rare magic materials, and finally as many as tons of rare metals, the latter is a specialty of the dukedom, this list is heavy, more than double the previous list, just in terms of the total value after converting gold coins, all the duke's domains, including the major planes, all the income of the whole year is on it,

Richard groaned, the Duke would not be unaware that once this ransom is established, and it is paid in a lump sum, it will at least affect the Myron family's ability to expand the war for several years, the Duke is betting on the future war potential with his current property, after all, Richard himself is an extremely vivid example, fully showing what it means to be a promising great constructor,

Akmund is in the hands of Richard, and he is walking to unprecedented heights, not every floating island giant can pull out hundreds of costumed knights to go around anytime and anywhere, for example, now, Richard is still scattered in various planes with one hundred and fifty costumed knights, which is the minimum strength of the stable dìng plane shape, and it cannot be withdrawn unless it is absolutely necessary,

Richard's situation is also special, his foundation is Faro, and Faro has the war weapon of the brood, so he can transfer a large number of constructed knights around, in addition, Richard himself must not be regarded as an ordinary constructor, Luoqi is setting off a revolution against constructing, so the rapid increase in the number of constructed knights of the Akmund family is jaw-dropping,

It would be interesting if Duke Myron valued Link based on Richard's strength,

Richard smiled and called the messenger over, and this time instead of giving him back the list, he patted it lightly with his hand, and said, "This list is a little less convincing, and besides, Link has been in my private plane for so long, and knows something I don't want him to say, and this problem must be solved." ”

How to solve it, it's up to Duke Myron to figure out a way by himself, Richard said that he is a fire archmage, not a spiritual one, and he doesn't plan to spend effort on this matter, if the duke can come up with a satisfactory plan, he may consider accepting it, if not, then one qiē will not talk about it, Link will be killed directly,

The messenger flew away, and after a moment he hurried back again.

This time, the messenger put two sealing boxes in front of Richard, and Richard opened a sealing box, and there were ten divine crystals in it, ten units of divinity, not much, but also a lot, there is such a thing as a brood, how much divinity will not be enough,

Another sealing box opened, and Richard was stunned, there was actually a Camarilla scroll inside,

This is the solution given by Duke Myron,

Richard didn't expect that the Myron family actually had this kind of legendary magic scroll, the full name of the Camarilla scroll is the Kamalilla Commandments, which was originally a legendary magic, and the effect is similar to the forbidden word magic, that is to say, the secret that God does not allow to be revealed, believers cannot declare it, this legendary magic has not been heard of in the past hundreds of years, and a scroll written by legendary magic itself is a priceless treasure,

In this way, Richard and Myron can indeed take what they need, Link will not say what he sees in Faro, and Myron can get back his future Grand Constructor, Richard showed a satisfied look for the first time, and saw the messenger's relieved expression out of the corner of his eye,

Richard closed the box and said to the messenger, "If the Duke can deliver the ransom before dawn tomorrow, then the deal will be made." ”

The messenger bowed and said, "Your Excellency the Duke is ready, and the things will be delivered soon, I will go back and inform you now." ”

Seeing Richard nodding, the messenger flew away, and Richard looked at the list on the table and the two delicate magic boxes, showing an inexplicable smile, things are getting more and more interesting, so much importance to the family constructor, Myron's ambition is really not small,

Richard sat alone for a while, looked at the list again, smiled, and called a guard in, and asked him to immediately inform Luoqi, who was still on the Faro plane, and let her come to the floating island immediately.

The Duke of Myron's reaction speed was still fast, and before midnight, the first batch of supplies was transported to the floating island, such as magic materials and rare metals, which were of high value but not large in size, and then another batch would be delivered every hour or two, and Richard did not send them into the warehouse, but all of them were piled up in the square outside the castle, and they were displayed like that.

In a mansion in the city of Faust, the Duke of Myron was standing on the terrace, watching another team of warriors escorting a few boxes to the floating island of Akmund, next to the duke, stood a noble lady, she frowned slightly, and asked: "Just for one link, is it worth it, so many resources, it is enough to hire ten constructors, in case Link's talent does not meet expectations......"

Duke Myron said categorically: "No, according to Richard's reaction, he is at least noncommittal about my second offer, if I don't raise the ransom, he will definitely kill Link, if Link is just an ordinary constructor, then what threat is there to him, the first offer is enough for two constructors, why refuse." ”
