Chapter 261 internal affairs

Using mass teleportation to return to the mage tower that once belonged to Ramesses, Henry began to count the gains of this trip. The first is a large number of gold coins and gems, initially estimated to be worth more than one million gold coins. The second is all kinds of magic items, scrolls and a small amount of alchemy materials.

Magic items include a magic bullet necklace (launch a fireball that will explode, which can be used 25 times), a magic helmet (allow the wearer to maintain morale), a thin magic leather armor, and an elf made Strike Wand (Each use consumes a little energy and can be used twenty-five times), a Firetongue Sword (the sword is burning with raging fire, and the person who is cut will receive additional fire damage), and a magic shield Cloak (when activated, it forms a protective position to protect the user from physical attacks), a magic sling made by halflings, and many enchanted weapons, armors and shields.

After Henry threw everything into the warehouse, he came to the ducal residence in the northern part of the city alone. Since demarcation with Anta Silver Shield, this place has become the office of the Duchy of Dalaran. Hawke is here to discuss plans for the entire country with scholars. In just one month, not only have they begun to build roads, but Belgoost is also expanding.

As soon as he entered the hall, Henry saw a busy scene. Dozens of messengers were waiting at the door, and after a while, one person would hand over the signed orders, and then these soldiers would send them to various places. Looking at the officials in a hurry, he nodded in satisfaction.

The advantages of having an independent education system are finally reflected here. These young people who have just graduated from the college are full of enthusiasm and believe that the Principality will soon stabilize and develop under their hard work. Now that all the land, villages and towns have been taken over, all that is left is to get the administrative system on track as soon as possible.

Pushing open the door of the office, Henry saw Hawke who was arguing with the scholars at a glance. The old man waved a design drawing and shouted: “This is the design you took out? Granite city walls, ten-meter-high steel city gates, a majestic city hall, and finally all Marble pavement. Do you know how much it will cost? We are neither Icewind Valley nor a place flooded with orcs in the north. What do you want such a strong defense facility for? Take it all back to me and do it again ! Remember! What I want is simple and practical!”

“But I heard that Belgoost was once besieged by an army of monsters. In addition, there are many ogres and trolls hidden in the clouded mountains in the south and the cloak forest in the north, which just happen to need fortified walls and various fortifications.” The gray-haired scholar argued unwillingly.

When Hawke was about to refute, he suddenly saw Henry standing at the door. He hurriedly pushed the scholar away, ran over and bowed, then began to complain. “My Duke, you have finally come. Look at the scholars you invited. I took over here in just one month, and I have spent more than 400,000 gold coins. If it weren’t for the vault on the island of Angkor. With support, we can declare bankruptcy long ago.”

Just now, the scholar gave Hawke a stern look, walked over and bowed in defense, saying: “My lord, we are building roads according to your requirements, and at the same time redesigning development plans for some large cities and towns. And on the green plains. The villages in China also need to be reintegrated. Various agricultural tools and livestock must also be purchased. 400,000 gold coins are only an initial investment, and more financial support will be needed in the future.”

“Oh my God! You killed me! I really can’t take out more gold coins.” Hawke screamed and immediately showed that I just have no money, what kind of posture can you take me.

Henry hurriedly pulled away the two old men who were about to fight. He knew very well that what Hawke could use was only taxes, and the commercial trade and the sale of magic items, which were the bulk of his income, were controlled by the lord’s mansion and the mage tower. Now that he took out 400,000 gold coins in one go, he had already exhausted all the taxes on Angkor Island.

Henry thought for a few minutes and held out a finger with a smile. “Well, for the time being, I have to advance one million gold coins as construction funds. It just so happened that I went to explore Durrag Tower yesterday. I got the treasure inside.”

“Ah! This is incredible. The treasure of Durrag’s Tower has been circulating for hundreds of years, and countless adventurers have come forward and succeeded but have found nothing.” After the old scholar sighed with emotion, he held Henry’s hand tightly and asked. : “Your Excellency, since you have found the treasure, you must also know what happened inside. Tell us quickly, I can’t wait to uncover the truth of this legend.”

Seeing the scorching eyes of scholars, Henry smiled bitterly and shook his head to retell what he had experienced selectively. When everyone heard that the demon had been killed hundreds of years ago. All were relieved. In the end, Hawke’s eyes lit up when he heard that Durrag’s Tower already belonged to his monarch, and he immediately thought of how to use this place.

He immediately walked over and gave a gracious suggestion: “Duke, since Durrag’s Tower is no longer dangerous, we should send troops there immediately. We can rely on this strong fortress to build several villages around it. This is not only possible. It saves the trouble of transporting food back and forth, and it also protects the Uerden business road leading to the east.”

Henry smiled and nodded. He was very satisfied with Hawk’s reaction speed. It seems that this person has completely completed the transition from local management to national management, and both his internal political ability and political sensitivity have improved a lot.

“I’m the same as you think. But you must send a few thieves to clear the magic traps there, otherwise, if ordinary soldiers step on them accidentally, it will cause catastrophic consequences.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll go to Robert the important person tomorrow. In addition, not only will an army of 600 people be deployed to garrison. Also, some homeless people will be recruited to open up wasteland and build villages. What are your requirements for the garrisoned army? Is it to use the original city guard or the newly reorganized Flame Fist mercenary?” After that, Hawke looked at his monarch and waited for a reply.

After thinking about it a little, Henry decided to make a mix-up. After all, the army brought from the island was only over a thousand men. And many people were promoted to officers in order to control the original Flame Fist mercenaries. Although these guys are now working for themselves, some of them are still a little bit resistant. As for the decline in combat effectiveness after mixing, they are not required to fight recently anyway. So go slowly.

Thinking of this, he picked up a pen and paper and quickly wrote down the order for the movement of the army. After writing it, put it on the badge of nobility and magic mark before handing it to Hawke. “Notify Corey for him to mobilize two hundred city guards and four hundred recruits. Remember to let them bring a few blacksmiths with the army. There are complete forging facilities on the lower level of Durrag Tower, and you can repair weapons and armor by yourself.”

“No problem, I’ll tell Commander Corey. Oh, yes. The duchess sent a message saying that she will move here with her two children in a few days, so please do it in advance. Be prepared, so as not to be in a hurry.” After that, Hawke handed the letter to the guard at the door, who put the letter close to his body and ran straight to the original Flamefist headquarters.

Hearing his wife coming, Henry smiled and shook his head slightly. You don’t have to think about what Shikodi is going to do, he must want to take the opportunity to make his son Allen his heir. But these are all so-called. As he is destined to become a legendary mage, heirs are basically equivalent to fiction.

After all, as long as you don’t die, it’s hard for a **** to kill a legendary mage. It is foreseeable that Henry will have an extremely long life. It is very possible that when a son, grandson, great-grandson, or even several generations have been in the soil, he himself is still alive. Of course, if someone in the offspring can become a powerful spellcaster, it’s a different matter.

After handling all the official duties, Henry returned to the Mage Tower again. He intends to use a portal to connect here with the mage tower on Angkor Island. Although the cost is likely to be an astronomical figure, it is definitely worth the money.

First go to the warehouse to get a lot of gems, mithril and some necessary materials for construction, Henry came to the lowest level of the mage tower to prepare for construction. As soon as he entered the door, he was taken aback by the sight before him. I saw rows of coffins neatly placed on both sides, and a lot of negative energy was gathered inside.

Shandi, who was experimenting, hurriedly put down what she was holding and ran over. “Respected master, these coffins are all new vampires. I cleaned their memories according to your request. Now these vampire girls can’t remember anything except that you are a great ancestor.”

“Oh? It seems that your stabilizer formula has been completed Let’s talk about it, how many new vampires have you created, have you tested their talents?” said Henry opened He lifted the lid of the coffin and glanced at the newborn vampire girl who was sleeping. Her complexion was pale, and she was lying naked inside.

“Master, this girl is in a period of transformation. The blood of ancient vampires is transforming her body, and it will take at least a month to wake up. So far, I have created sixty new vampires for you. According to the blood According to the test results, only fifteen of them can be casters, and the others can only be trained as warriors and thieves.”

Henry nodded when he heard this ratio. A quarter of the caster ratio is enough for him to build a daunting army of vampires. Although Robert’s dark elves are also very good, but their number is too small, and there is no way to guarantee the loyalty of these guys.

After checking Shandi’s progress, Henry threw Gillihull, who was imprisoned in the cage, to the female warlock. She was ecstatic and immediately prepared the materials for the spell, and after a day and night ritual, she forced it into her own demon familiar. Seeing the unwilling eyes of the succubus, Henry suddenly felt a lot happy. (To be continued.
