Nolan was surprised: "This is so sudden! our workshop still has a lot of unfulfilled orders, and if we cancel the orders, it will be a heavy blow to our reputation." And it will also offend a lot of people who should not be offended. Richard, is something going on?"

Richard's anxiety was so obvious that it was literally written on his face. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, I always have a feeling that something bad is going to happen soon." Therefore, I need to expand my military strength to the greatest extent in the shortest possible time. Have you heard of the Reaper?"

"Reaper!" Nolan exclaimed, "How did you mess with the Reaper?"

"I found the mark of doom in one of the most important planes, Faro. So, I think I'll have to fight them soon. ”

Nolan forced himself to calm down and said, "I see. Tomorrow I will personally go and apologize to those big customers, and all the equipment that has been made will be delivered. Then our workshop will empty its capacity and work on the gear on your blueprints. ”

"Thank you. ”

Nolan smiled and said, "Our fates have long been tied together, and helping you is helping me." However, "

After a moment's hesitation, Nolan said, "Judging from past experience, the wisest thing to do is to give up the plane where the doomsday mark appears, and cut off any connection with them. Anyway, it won't be long before the reapers will completely ruin it. Why don't you do that?"

Richard said: "I think it's better to fight them once and then think about giving up." ”

"To fight the Reaper is to waste precious military power. ”

"I'll think about it. ”

Nolan nodded and said, "Be careful yourself." A plane is not a big deal. At most, go buy a few more and come back. ”

"Understood. Richard gave Nolan a smile and cut off the communication.

Next, Richard teleported to his own half-plane.

At this moment, his half-plane has grown to a radius of several hundred meters, and those energy-absorbing trees are thriving, drawing energy from the energy storm of the void every moment, and then continuously transforming into land blocks, allowing the half-plane to continue to grow.

The current half-plane is still bare, with loess gravel on top of it, and it is completely barren.

Richard was strolling along the half-plane when he suddenly leaned over and grabbed a handful of earth and rocks from the ground.

The soil is dark yellow, extraordinarily delicate, so fine that with a slight twist by hand, it can be subdivided infinitely. The stones in the soil are no bigger than your thumb, and the smaller ones are like sand.

Richard picked out a stone and pinched it with his hand, and the loess adhered to the surface fell one after another, revealing the crystal yellow crystals below.

This inconspicuous stone, after being rubbed a few more times, completely turned into a crystal clear, and a thick yellow flowing earth energy could be seen in it.

This stone turned out to be an extremely pure earth element crystal!

Just taking such a piece to Norland can sell it for a lot of money. The loess, on the other hand, is pure elemental soil, one of the most versatile elemental materials, and can be used in a wide variety of potions, circles, and equipment.

Richard actually threw the earth elemental crystals directly on the ground, and then walked towards an earthen platform at the edge. Under his feet, all the earth is elemental soil, and all the stones are elemental crystals. There's really no need to worry too much about it.

In the center of the platform is the magic pool, which is divided into three layers and distributed in a stepped shape.

The small pool on the top floor was about a meter in diameter, and it was already full at the moment, and the water overflowed along the channel that had been opened long ago, and flowed into the next layer of the magic pool.

This level of magic pool is much larger, one meter wide and deep, and four meters long. The second level of the mana pool has just contained a small half of the water, and it will take some time before it is full.

The third layer is divided into several small pools, which are elemental pools. When the second layer of mana pools is filled with water, it will be injected into each of these small pools. Each small pool corresponds to a different elemental attribute, and in the future, the accumulation here will be the magic power with the corresponding attribute.

In the topmost magic pool, the bottom of the pool has been paved with a thick layer of magic crystals, which is also mixed with a lot of high-purity magic crystals. Seeing these magic crystals, Richard couldn't help but be a little stunned. How long has it been, but the magic crystals that the half-plane has accumulated for him have exceeded a million gold coins.

The Energy Absorbing Tree is one of the rarest treasures in the plane. And Su Helen was able to give Richard dozens of them at a time, which was indeed a bloody investment.

If an ordinary legendary mage can get one, he will be willing to go bankrupt.

Richard hesitated, but went to the magic pool to fish out all the magic crystals. He was now in dire need of money to expand his army, so much so that the immense fortune he had created by drawing the constructs had been almost spent.

With this batch of magic crystals, it is enough for Nolan to pay the compensation caused by the breach of the contract. As for the magical equipment that can equip the entire legion, it can be paid for with sacrifices later if you have time.

After inspecting his small territory, Richard once again strengthened the teleportation circle of the half-plane and returned to Norland. He packed the crystal and had a team of knights escort it to Nolan.

After doing this, Richard was just about to go to see Coco again, when suddenly an attendant mage rushed to him and said, "Your Highness, the messenger of the Duke of Solam has arrived. ”

"Solam's emissary?" Richard's face was a little strange, he didn't expect Soram to actually send someone over.

Soram was also a duke, so Richard received the messenger in a more formal chamber.

The messenger was a young nobleman, and the silver feathers on the neckline indicated that he was a hereditary viscount. As an emissary, this title is not rude to be an envoy in combination with his age.

Facing Richard, the young envoy was not afraid at all, and said eloquently: "Your Highness Richard, I am entrusted by the Duke of Solam to come for Minnie Mouse. As you know, Minnie is the wife of Lord Stevenson, and on her way back to her realm, she brutally murdered her husband. Now, there's solid evidence that she escaped to you!"

At this, the messenger paused slightly, and looked at Richard with blazing eyes. As long as Richard denies it, he will present the witness testimony that has been prepared long ago, and then overwhelm Richard with a stormy momentum!

However, Richard just said lightly, "So what?"

The young envoy was stunned for a moment, and all the sharp words he had prepared fell into the air. He didn't expect Richard to admit such a thing, which made his brain completely confused for a while.

Soram and Richard do have contradictions, but it is a dispute between the two lords, and there are fixed rules of the game. However, what Minnie Mouse did was to challenge the traditional bottom line of the aristocracy, and in this case, if Richard sheltered Minnie, he would face the accusations of the nobles, unless he did not value his own decency and reputation.

The emissary had thought of all possible scenarios and devised a response, but it just didn't occur that Richard wasn't ready to play according to the traditional rules.

He took a deep breath and jumped straight to the next step: "Since you admit that Minnie is here, then please give her to me, I can guarantee that she will receive the fairest trial." ”

"You can guarantee it? What are you, and on what basis can you guarantee it?" said Richard with a sneer.

The young nobleman's face immediately turned red, and he said loudly: "I am Viscount Tork Wei Yang! My uncle is Duke Wei Yang, and he is currently the commander-in-chief of the Southern Legion of the Holy Tree Dynasty! Wei Yang's name is enough to guarantee it?"

Richard laughed and said, "I just beat your Northern Legion to the ground, and the Southern Legion came out? I wonder why Soram didn't come by himself, but sent you? He must know that the emissaries sent to me will not end well, will he?"

Teucer was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned ugly, and it was clear that he had also realized that this task was not easy. And there seems to be another story between Soram and Richard, and the contradiction is not just a few battles with each other, and it is as simple as fighting for territory with each other.

Teucer secretly hated in his heart, but his momentum was not overwhelming, and he raised his voice: "Your Highness Richard, you had better hand over Minnie Mouse, this is in line with your identity! Otherwise, I am afraid that it will not be good for your reputation to spread it! As for your provocation against the Southern Legion of the Dynasty, you can rest assured, I will convey it to you as it is." ”

Richard put away his smile and said, "It seems that our reputation in Akmund has always been not very good, otherwise, how can any stray wild dog dare to pounce on it and bite it?" As long as this castle is built, Minnie Mouse will naturally be his! If he doesn't have this ability, then let him be honest with me in the future!"

Teucer sneered, nodded repeatedly, and said, "Very good, Your Highness Richard, don't worry, I will definitely bring these words for you! In addition, our Wei Yang family will respond to your provocation at the right time."

Before Teucer could finish his sentence, he suddenly snapped, and he had already received a resounding slap in the face! The slap was so heavy that it sent him flying, spinning in the air several times, and then falling heavily to the ground!

The slap was given by Richard, but he sat on the high platform as if he hadn't moved. No one in the entire chamber saw how he made his move.

The guards brought by Teucer hurried over to help him up, while several others drew their swords and stared at Richard viciously.

Richard's face was as calm as water, but he just raised his left hand and pressed it down gently!

The knights in costume standing on both sides of the council hall shouted angrily, pounced directly, and in the blink of an eye, they slashed those guards who dared to draw their swords!

Now there were only two guards left with Teucer, and these two men still didn't draw their swords because they wanted to help him up, so they left a life.

Half of Toucer's face was already high and swollen, and he pointed at Richard with a trembling finger and said, "You"

Richard said lightly: "This is a provocation to the Wei Yang family, little guy." ”

He leaned forward slightly, looking down at Teucer, "When you get back, remember to tell them about my provocation." Besides, I don't understand why you have to provoke such an enemy as me for your family? Let's go, don't show up in front of me next time. ”
