Proof of the Sun King

"So, the wood elves need more ore, iron, grain and wood? Well, and amber." Ryan listened to the wood elves' requirements, and then briefly summarized all their requirements.

"Yes, we need more amber and ore, but the most important thing is food and iron." The woodland lord Darina was very anxious when she saw that Ryan didn't let go. She quickly emphasized: "The price is negotiable."

Delina told Ryan that the famous Shadowbeast War Beast Group reappeared in the Athel Loren Forest this winter, in the beastmen war group led by the infamous Sanctuary Beastmaster "Shadowbeast" Morgul. Thousands of Beastmen swarms, trying to get closer to the Oak of the Ages, which is also known as the World Tree in human mouths.

The Eslais and the Beastmen fought a hard war. Some woodlands were turned to ashes after repeated changes of hands. The fierce tug-of-war made the wood elves miserable. Wang and his wife also went into the fire and died. This was when the forest was at its weakest, and the wood elves could only rely on themselves.

The large amount of resources traded from Lane and the finely crafted armor produced by the dwarves have come in great use. Although the wood elves are very reluctant to admit it, even the wood elves produced by the Vaal Anvil are far inferior to those produced by the dwarves. Seiko armor and various rune weapons are easy to use, and the uninterrupted food trade ensures that no wood elves will starve to death due to lack of food in this winter, and retain some vitality for the wood elves who are fighting hard.

In the end, the ice and snow melted, and all things were reborn. The king of the forest, Orion, was finally reborn from the oak tree of the age. When he discovered the tragedy of the forest, Orion blew the horn of the hunting **** Kunos.

The wild hunt has begun!

After a terrible price was paid, the Shadowbane Warbeast was defeated, and Shadowbane Morgul was defeated by the famous Wood Elf hero, the Woodland Lord Araloth the Brave, and fled wounded.

The war is over, leaving behind a large corrupted forest, countless beastmen corpses and wood elves dead souls, even the forest king Orion has to admit that trade with humans is useful and necessary, otherwise Eslai It may take twenty or thirty years to recover from this war.

The forest lord Delina came with the goodwill of the forest king Orion, and she hopes to continue to expand the construction of the trade post in the Ryan territory, in order to obtain more urgently needed resources.

Lane thought that wood elves are a group of guys who don’t do farming. They pay attention to coexisting in harmony with nature. No wonder they always encounter food shortages and lack of wood. There are almost no ores in the forest, and they are completely imported from Lane.

Coughing, Ryan smiled and said, "Your Excellency Darina, it's not that I don't want to help you, but you can see that our workshop is also limited in production, and the orders are lined up for winter. As for the food, I will discuss it with the duke. Think of a way, I have a lot of ore here, which can meet your needs."

"Can't you increase production?" Daelina took a deep breath, and the woodland lord said in a negotiated tone, "I understand your difficulties, but the forest really needs enough dwarf-made fine-crafted armor and weapons, and Vaal anvil woodland quilts. The shadowy war beasts have been severely damaged, the mines in the forest have been exhausted hundreds of years ago, and there is also a shortage of food.

"It takes time to expand production, friends of the forest, let's try our best." Ryan nodded in succession: "We have always cooperated very happily, please tell His Majesty the King of the Forest, please give us more time."

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency Ryan, our king also asked me to tell you that you are the only trade target of the Eslays outside the forest. Those greedy and cunning knights have been completely cleaned up by us. I can't believe a word." Darina raised her head proudly.

The woodland lords brought hundreds of troops from the forest this time. They left with dozens of carts of recently ordered dwarven products, food and ores, leaving behind a large amount of wood elf wine, magic jewelry, exquisite handicrafts, Precious wood elf medicines and pottery, some of these things were looted by a large number of nearby principalities and even southern countries and imperial merchants just after they were put on the shelves.

"It's no wonder that the Duke of Palaon is jealous of me." Ryan complained to his housekeeper Katzenberg on the way back: "Just the trade with the wood elves can bring me a year. Thousands of kronor in taxes, among which the wood elves' medicines are invaluable."

Katzenberg put his hands behind his back, straightened his back, half a step behind Ryan, with sincerity and admiration on his face: "Wood elf, isolated from the world, absolutely isolated, my baron, it is your honor and prestige to make These wood elves came out of the forest to trade with us."

"The most important thing is strength, Katzenberg." Ryan laughed: "Do you think the wood elves didn't want to increase trade before? Obviously, they also learned about my defeat of the Great Nurgle. It is a capital to measure whether we can further cooperate and increase the volume of trade. I first gained their trust, this is very important, and then I show my strength, this is also important."

"It is true, but I think it is still related to the baron's personal charm. As far as I know, Your Excellency François has also tried to contact the wood elves, but the pointed ears arrogantly rejected the trade, they It is very firm that the forest is rich in products and self-sufficient, and there is no need to trade with the duke." Katzenberg still said very seriously: "So I still think that the baron is special, whether it is a dwarf or an elves, they are willing to contact the baron. "

"Let's arrange what the wood elves need as soon as possible. I remember that there is a lot of food in Wenford. It should not be difficult to trade some from Lord Francois. It's time for the dwarves' workshop to expand production. Also, about "The tower in the castle" was very sunny in midsummer, and Katzenberg was soon sweating, but Ryan was wearing a full baron's dress and showed no signs of being overheated. He ordered things one by one. The energy surprises his subordinates.

"Miss Veronica's wizard tower is still laying the foundation, only the first floor has been built," Katzenberg took out his booklet and said repeatedly.

"I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about the tall tower built in the valley behind the castle." Ryan shook his head. In midsummer, the air was full of heat, and his lungs felt dry after a few breaths.

"That tower? I'm sorry my baron, because you haven't named the tower." Katzenberg then realized what Ryan said: "The tower can be completed in three months at most, but I can Say a word? My baron?"

"You said." Ryan turned around, and the two found a place in the shade of a tree. Almost all the serfs along the way greeted the baron with great enthusiasm.

"We have consumed a lot of manpower, material resources and energy to build this tower, but my baron, you are not a spell caster, why did you build such a tower without a master?" Katzenberg will always Unexplainable questions were asked at the opportunity.

"The tower will have an owner, dear Katzenberg." Ryan's expression did not change: "All you have to do is build the tower, and then the benefits it will bring us are absolutely beyond compare. value."

"I understand, so the tower is not for Miss Teresa?" Katzenberg nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Yes, it's not for Teresa either." Ryan reached out and stroked the bark of the big tree: "Just know what you have in mind."

The benefits that the tower of the fairies in the lake can bring to Ryan's territory are absolutely worth the money. If nothing else, as far as Ryan has learned, the high elves are located in the Hesbai Tower in Osuan, which can bring the high elves The benefits are numerous and outrageous.

The crops near the Hos Bai Pagoda can be ripened 610 times a year.

Cheating! No reason! This is what the fairy in the lake told Ryan, and Ryan was stunned.

Katzenberg led the way, leaving Ryan alone to ponder in the shade. He was thinking about what to do in the future. After several years of hard work, he was awarded the title of a baron. If he wanted to be promoted to earl, he was setting up two. After the second great feat, he was still close to the count.

The road ahead is still very long. No Primarch has faced so many threats in his childhood. Greenskin, Chaos, and Undead, he cannot push himself like a barbarian, because he is the guardian of order, and **** conquest can To please Khorne and Tzeentch, it consumes the precious power of mortals.

In the governance of the territory, time passed quickly, and the time came to the beginning of October, and the tower was finally completed.

The tower made of white boulders has a total of six floors and is about 25 meters high. Under Lane's decoration in strict accordance with the design plan of the fairy in the lake regardless of the cost, the interior of the tower is made of the most expensive materials and various luxurious decorations. Furniture decoration, the tower was built in a small valley behind Lane Castle, and the tower can only be reached through a corridor extending from the castle wall. Since the tower was built, this valley has undergone some kind of mutation, a lot of woods. Covering this area, thick fog rises from the valley, making it difficult for ordinary people to see the whole picture.

Ryan listed this area as a restricted area, prohibiting anyone from entering. In fact, ordinary people could not enter this place. They would lose their direction in the thick fog. After turning around, they found that they had returned to their original place. will disappear forever.

Since the day when the tower was built, the serfs of the Baron of Jean were pleasantly surprised to find that the crops in the fields were growing satisfactorily, and the output had increased by nearly 50. Both the river and well water became clearer and more sacred. The power of the Lord haunts the Baron of Jean, and the whispers of the goddess resound in the hearts of the people.

Many knights and pilgrims of the Holy Grail began to come to the Baron of Jean, seeking the guidance of the fairies of the lake.

The lady was generous, and although only a small number of people got a reply, they were still ecstatic, and expedition knights began to appear in the baron, which made the baron spend a lot of time and energy to receive them.

In early October, on Lily's Day, which is the birthday of the Fairy in the Lake, a grand celebration was held in the Barony to celebrate the glory and faith that the Fairy in the Lake brought to the Kingdom of Knights. Ryan announced the opening of the warehouse to release food and store the warehouse. Take out the old grain inside, and let the serfs have a full meal: "Cheers, my subjects, this is given to you by the lady!"

"Thank you ma'am! Praise ma'am!" The serfs lined up to receive food benefits during the tsunami. Among them, brown bread was enough. With household registration, one person could also receive a piece of sweet cake, a glass of apple cider or malt wine, and a piece of barbecue.

The days of the serfs are getting better and better, and at the same time, Ryan also constantly emphasizes that everything is bestowed by the lady.

The baron's piety and generosity were almost fanatically loved by the serfs. Court musicians and bards invited from Winford played the lyre and sang the story of Lane. The glory of the Holy Grail made the serfs and knights eager to make achievements. They were insane.

In the dark ages, Ryan's territory became a pure land.

The celebration of the Fairy's birthday in the lake lasted from morning to afternoon, and then into the evening. The grand occasion in the town made the lord very happy, and at this time, a big merchant brought better news.

It was Hadrian, the president of the Luigi Chamber of Commerce. This great merchant from the southern kingdom has completely shifted his business focus to the territories of Marienburg and Lane. He also made a lot of money by investing in the construction of dwarves' workshops. , More importantly, Hadrian's ore vein has a direct way out. The internalization of the transaction not only allows the big businessman to greatly reduce the cost, but also cooperates with Ryan to make his goods not worry about sales.

"Happy holidays, my baron, this year's Mithril I have shipped here by sea, His Excellency Duke Boldero is very kind to us." Hadrian wore a brand new silk dress and smiled at Ryan.

"Okay, it's hard for you to make a trip in person, Mr. Hadrian." Ryan shook hands with his partner: "Is the business going well recently?"

"Not very good, my baron." Who knew Hadrian looked at the carnival crowd and shook his head with a wry smile: "Whether it's the axe or the Palaeon~www.wuxiaspot.com~, they are all adding to the goods from the empire. To levy tariffs, the two dukes must be poor and crazy, and they know how to bully us poor businessmen all day long and divide our meager profits."

"It is very normal for the tariffs at these two gates to be high. Whoever made the Principality of Montfort and the Principality of Palaon have a narrow area and barren land, and most of their income depends on tariffs." Lane stood on the air outside the castle, Looking at the noisy town, the baron suddenly said maliciously: "The two dukes shouldn't be feeling well when your Excellency Schultz keeps chasing debts, right?"

"Hey, hey," Hadrian smiled unscrupulously: "It's not very pleasant, at least as far as I know, since I learned that the Duke of Montfort and the Duke of Palaon had a bad relationship with His Excellency Ryan, His Excellency Schultz has Sanctions were imposed on them, and now the caravans of Marienburg trade more by sea with the Duchies of Connecticut and Bordeaux than by land."

"The more they don't go overland, the lower their income, the lower the income, the more tariffs they have to add. The more tariffs are added, the more the merchants in Marienburg don't go overland. This is a vicious circle." Lane nodded, the baron In his heart, he is also thinking about the consequences of this, and if we continue, the biggest possibility is war.

Marienburg is covered by an empire. Of course Ryan doesn't want to see a human civil war, but sometimes it's necessary to show his muscles.

"Ryan my champion." The baron was still thinking about the cause and effect when the voice of the fairy in the lake suddenly came from his heart: "Come to me, come to my tower"

"My lady?"

"Yes, my champion, Ryan, today is my birthday, come, come to my tower." The soft voice of the fairy in the lake continued to whisper in Ryan's heart: "My champion, come quickly."

The protagonist's territory finally has its first landmark building. For the sake of being so powerful, the Lake Girl Tower will not be counted!
