Chapter 239 Sponsorship fee of 180,000 gold dragons(1/3)
Rumble!
On Lingya Mountain, there are engineering puppets everywhere, digging foundations, moving stones, pumping water and sand, surveying and marking. They are very busy.
The roar of mechanical rotation is continuous.
Most small puppets use the puppet core to output driving force, consuming spiritual energy without causing any pollution. However, there are also some large puppets that rely solely on the spiritual energy of the puppet core to drive the body, and must burn spiritual slag for energy.
Most of the spiritual slag is used in factories, and the black smoke generated by burning can cover the sky and the sun.
At this time, the black smoke emitted by the large puppets on Lingya Mountain was also constantly spraying out, spreading into the sky, and soon merged with the black smoke from the direction of Cuihai City, forming a layer of dark clouds in the sky.
"Gah!"
"Gah!"
Unknown birds moved in and out of the dark clouds, pecking at the spiritual particles carried in the black smoke.
Duke was surrounded by a large group of people and inspected the construction site of Lingya Mountain. After descending the mountain, he met Karius Flamingo's nephew, Carter Flamingo.
A 2nd level arcane mage.
"Sir Duke." Carter bowed and saluted.
"Sir Carter, will you personally supervise the construction?"
"I came here to see you, sir." Carter said.
"Looking for me?"
"My uncle just learned the news that the United Tower has passed an internal resolution to cut down the three-ring tree king - Ten Thousand Years Pine Tower. I think if the Duke Sage Mage Tower has this three-ring tree king, it will serve as the mage tower.
If we have the backbone, then this mage tower will be more perfect."
"Have you decided to cut down the Ten Thousand Years Pine Tower? I understand." Duke nodded to express his understanding.
Carter conveyed the news and said goodbye: "Then I wish Lord Duke to bid for this tree king and build the best mage tower."
The Mage Tower is not an ordinary building.
To be more precise, it should be a quasi-arcane weapon. The main body must be built with a large amount of spiritual gold and spiritual materials in order to withstand various crises.
Otherwise, the higher the mage tower is built, the more dangerous the tower will be.
Moreover, Duke also needs to transform Chicken's grandmother, the trilobite ancient spirit Pheasant Feather, into the tower spirit of the mage tower. The quality of the materials used requires higher pursuit.
If a three-ring tree king can be used to build the backbone of the mage tower, it will obviously greatly improve the safety and spirituality of the mage tower.
"It's just a pity that the Ten Thousand Years Pine Tower has escaped the invasion of ancient evil creatures, but it has to end its growth at the hands of humans."
After getting on the airship and rushing back to Shenjiao City, Duke sighed in his heart.
The Union Tower has decided to cut down the Ten Thousand Years Pine Tower, and he has no way to stop it. After all, he is only a member of the Five Towers Conference, not the leader of the Union Tower.
Back to Suktala Master Tower, the teacher has just returned.
Duke immediately asked: "Teacher, has the Ten Thousand Years Pine Tower been decided to be cut down?"
"I knew you would ask about this." Suktala had expected it and said gently, "Once Cuihai City is built, the drain on the spiritual spring will be very serious, and it will be difficult to support two three-ring trees at the same time.
The king needs it, so cutting down one tree is the best choice.”
"Is that so?" Duke said thoughtfully, "So the reason why one of the two original tree kings in Shenjiao City was cut down was because of such concerns?"
Suktara said: "Yes."
Although the arcane mages of the Seven Towers Federation do not pursue the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. Every time they occupy a spiritual spring, they cut down and shovel all the surrounding flowers, plants and trees, and discharge industrial black smoke and waste water to the surrounding areas at will.
But only by planting spiritual plants can we sort out the spiritual energy, everyone knows this.
Therefore, it is possible to avoid destroying spiritual plants, and arcane mages will naturally not destroy them at will, especially rare third-ring spiritual plants like the Tree King.
Unfortunately, the growth of the Tree King is too dependent on the spiritual spring.
This conflicts with human needs. There is no doubt that the tree king will be sacrificed in the end, and it cannot be human beings.
"Teacher, if I want to bid for this Ten Thousand Years Pine Tower, are there any conditions?"
"The 3-ring tree king is the trophy of my Black Dragon River land. Only the local arcane mages can bid for it, but there are many people staring at it." Suktala changed the topic and smiled, "But you are knowledgeable
Sage, you want to build the Sage Mage Tower again. If you lobby for it, everyone should give you face."
"I'm just afraid that the Black Jade Baron won't give me face."
"Then let's put the Ten Thousand Years Pine Tower on the table of the Five Towers Conference. Everyone will definitely support you instead of the Black Jade Baron."
"This...I'll contact you right away." Duke quickly understood.
He is a self-trained arcane mage from Black Dragon River. How can he be compared to an outsider like Bernoulli when he fights at home?
First, visit the Kirston Wizard Tower.
Christian squinted his eyes and said, "Why do you want to take advantage of everything in your own bowl? The twin springs are yours, and you want to grab the three-ring tree king too?"
"Don't I just have a need? Sir, you are the leader of the Black Dragon River, so you have to support us juniors."
"I can support you, but as the leader of the United Tower, my bowl of water has to be leveled."
"Forehead……"
Duke was thinking of words.
Christian suddenly had a change of heart: "But if you promise me one thing, I will give up my old face and help you."
"Please tell me."
"I want you to give birth to a child for the Raging Waves family." When Christian squinted his eyes and spoke, he didn't look like a lion king, but more like an old fox.
Duke was stunned and responded: "But I don't know how to have children."
"Ahem!" Christian rolled his eyes, "Who asked you to have a child? There are so many daughters in our Nutao family, and it's not easy to give birth to a child!"
"But why do you have to have my child?"
"Because you are good enough." Christian said without mincing words, "And don't say you don't want to have a baby with me, the daughter of the Nutao family, Shenjiao City Yi Zhiliya. If that is the case, I will have to consider marrying someone from another city.
The nobles are getting married."
"How could it be possible? Kiliya and I truly love each other." Duke suddenly thought of the bloody romance dramas on Earth.
Immediately, Dayi said solemnly: "Don't worry, Sir, as long as Kiriya is willing, I don't care how many children I have."
Why not give birth to a child and raise it in the Nutao family, and inherit the Nutao family's legacy?
Christian nodded with satisfaction: "That's right."
Duke then asked: "However, the Nutao family is very prosperous and is the largest family in the Black Dragon River. Why do you need one of my children?"
"You don't understand." Christian shook his head and sighed, "Although the population is large, talent is lost from generation to generation. It was not easy to cultivate Kylia, but she is still a girl. Nowadays, the spirituality of Black Dragon River is...
You monopolize 80% of it, so I have no choice but to be shameless and ask you to have a child."
Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite.
The Nutao family seems to be firmly established as the overlord of Shenjiao City, but in fact they have not trained many arcane mages among their descendants.
No wonder Christian had such thoughts.
However, Duke thought in his heart that Christianson's plan would be in vain sooner or later. When it came to physical talent, Duke was not that high.
Ninety-nine percent of his talent lies in the golden finger.
In any case, with the help of Keithon, the Ten Thousand Years Pine Tower is basically stable. However, Duke will still visit the remaining members of the Five Towers Conference one by one and make a favor, asking them to give up the fight and cut off their love.
to yourself.
Perhaps he had heard the news, and when the Ten Thousand Years Pine Tower was put on the round table of the Five Towers Meeting to discuss how to deal with it, the Black Jade Baron Bernoulli did not attend the meeting at all.
final.
This three-ring king tree, which took thousands of years to grow, was successfully acquired by Duke. Of course, the price paid was not small.
This is equivalent to the price of 1.5 million gold dragons.
Duke is required to repay Shenjiao City's public finances in installments within ten years until the material cost is fully paid off.
"The debt has increased sharply. It's a huge pressure!" Duke personally came to the lakeside of the Spiritual Spring in Cuihai City and watched the three-ring tree king - the Ten Thousand Years Pine Tower being uprooted. "One and a half million
Golden Dragon, a number that I didn’t even dare to think of before, but now I owe it casually.”
This towering tree, which was a full 350 meters high, caused the whole ground to shake when it fell to the ground.
Silently reciting two sentences of sin.
He personally directed the workers to remove all the branches from the Wannian Pine Tower, and then divided it into thirty-five sections based on the spiritual distribution of the entire trunk.
Then they were transported piece by piece to Lingya Mountain in a black beetle truck.
Teacher Suktara, a level 1 arcanist mage who is studying alchemy with Terrence and others, is already waiting here in advance.
"teacher."
"Let's work and try to refine the Wannian Pine Tower into qualified backbone material as soon as possible so that the construction team can start construction as soon as possible." Suktala rolled up her sleeves with a smile and went on to refine the Ten Thousand Years Pine Tower in person. This kind of work she
Have been doing this for over a hundred years.
