my fortress

Chapter 68 Locke's Careful Thoughts [-]
The rise of the holy city is because it has mastered the establishment of the space array, and the human saint king back then, the only mage who has reached the god level for thousands of years, under the two methods of one soft and one hard, Finally, the sanctuary was established, which is now the holy city.

Thinking of this, he vaguely had a concept in his mind, maybe he, who has a system, can also rely on the uniqueness of the system to build a city like the Holy City on this continent.

He has never been to the holy city, and he has no idea how big the holy city is or how high the goal he set is, but his ambition is slowly sprouting in his heart!

"dong dong dong"

"My lord, Earl Locke is here, waiting outside the south city."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, which interrupted his thoughts, and he heard the voice of the old butler Stephen from outside the door.

At this time, when Yifei was alone in the study thinking about the future direction of struggle, he heard the voice of the old butler Stephen outside the door.

What, Locke is here!What is he running here for? MD, if you don’t see him when you are in trouble, let’s just show up right after the battle.
Hearing the old housekeeper's words, several thoughts flashed through Yifei's mind!
For this foreign nobleman whom he came into contact with for the first time in this world, he still had a certain liking for him because of the previous contact, thinking that the two were already friends.

But after his later actions, he found that such friends are still different from those close friends he made in the previous life.

For Locke and his Violet family, who have a certain good relationship, in Yifei's heart at this time, they have changed from friends to partners who can use each other.

This can be considered a kind of maturity!

"Well, I see! Stephen, you go and order the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal, and entertain the Earl later!"

"Yes, my lord!" Stephen replied.

Yifei stood up, tidied up his luggage, opened the door, and walked out!
"Hahaha, my friend, I'm so happy to see you safe and sound!" Yifei brought a few guards to the south gate, and saw Locke walking over with a big smile.

"Haha, my friend, I'm also very happy to see you!" Yifei said politely, "Is there anything you want to do when you come to Wild Wolf City today?"

When Locke heard Yifei's question, there was a touch of alienation in his tone, far less affectionate than before, and he couldn't help but feel dark.

Alas, after this estrangement, it seems that the relationship between the two parties cannot remain as close as before!But he did not expect that the wild wolf family repelled the attack of the barbarians, and beat the barbarian army with a very powerful posture.

A few days ago, the barbarian army had just suffered a disastrous defeat, and the news was known to all the families in the empire.Although no family expressed any solidarity during the war a few days ago, everyone's attention was on this side.

One side is the Monroe family who reappeared 300 years later, and the other side is the barbarians who are brave and good at fighting but cannot be taught. This battle has attracted the attention of all parties.

From the beginning to the end, none of the forces was optimistic about the Wild Wolf family. Everyone believed that the Wild Wolf family must have lost this battle. It depends on what kind of defeat method they choose.

But I never expected that in this battle, the methods shown by the wolf family surprised all the forces. First, there were a few war beasts, and then there was a big fire. The 10,000+ barbarian army instantly became ashes.

The various forces with different purposes did not see the details of the Monroe family in this battle at all. The only thing they discovered was the application of the magic oil by the wild wolf family.

Unexpectedly, those magic oils produced in the swamp jungle would have such great power on the battlefield. This battle was instantly included in the textbooks of various countries.

This is a classic defensive battle, a defensive battle where the weak defeat the strong, and it is also a controversial defensive battle!

Even Locke himself did not approve of such a method. The wealth consumed by tens of thousands of war beasts and so much expensive magic oil was enough to buy dozens of wild wolf cities.

You know, the price of a domesticated war beast is worth a good war horse, and a good war horse is worth hundreds of gold coins at least; and the magic oil, because of its terrible military use, its price Even more expensive.

After being shot by an arrow infested with magic oil, if there is no priest and pharmacist, the only way is to dig out the piece of flesh that was shot by the arrow, otherwise it will not recover at all.

At the same time, because the magic oil can only be produced in the swamp, and the green ghosts in the swamp are all extremely greedy.

But the way of this war is very popular with the vampires in the business alliance, because they are the richest group of people in the entire continent.

In their words, things that can be solved with gold coins are nothing!
After the news of this war spread, the soft power of the business alliance was improved by leaps and bounds.

At the same time, those green ghosts in the swamp doubled the price of magic oil several times.Magic oil, which was already very expensive, has become even more expensive now. It used to cost 1000 gold coins a barrel, but now it costs [-] gold coins, and the supply is in short supply, because the annual output of magic oil is too low.

For the entire continent, a mere few thousand barrels of magic oil per year is simply not enough!

So many families wanted to know how the wolf family could have so much magic oil. At the same time, they wanted to know how the wolf family used to cover up the pungent smell of the magic oil.

How many barrels of magic oil are needed for a magic oil fire pit with a radius of several kilometers!With so much magic oil buried in the ground, let alone a human being, even a pig cage beast could be stunned by the smell.

Nepentheme: A special war beast of the Orc Empire, known for its bulky body and dull sense of smell, it is generally used for transporting war beasts.

Locke came to Wild Wolf City this time because he was ordered by the family to repair the relationship between the two parties. At the same time, he wanted him to rely on his past friendship to ask how the Wild Wolf family covered up the pungent smell of magic oil.

And the most important piece of news, he only found out yesterday, and he hasn't reported that news to the family yet.

Now after hearing Yi Yifei's tone, he knew that things were going to be difficult!The Monroe family values ​​integrity the most, but their Violet family has violated this point. I am afraid that the relationship between the two families will be difficult to restore to the previous level!
Damn it, it's the old fools in the family elders' meeting who think that the Wild Wolf family will lose in this battle, and there is no need to ally with them again, which has caused such an embarrassing current situation.

Didn't they see who was standing behind the wild wolf family? That was the mysterious Monroe family, and the most profitable race on this continent.

"Hehe, Brother Yifei, didn't you ask me to help you collect some books about the records of various ethnic groups a while ago? No, today I specially sent them to you!" Locke looked at Yifei who was enthusiastic and cold in front of him, Said with some embarrassment.

Huh!When Yifei heard Locke's answer, his eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled and said, "Hahaha, that's great, thank you, my friend!"

"Hahaha, brother Yifei, you and I don't have to be polite!" After seeing Yifei's reaction, Locke couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

"Fei, I'm very sorry about what happened last time," Locke decided to take the opportunity to further ease the relationship between the two parties, and said in a low voice.

"My friend, needless to say, I know it all. It's not your fault. If you want to blame it, I'm a bit persistent." Although Yifei was a little displeased with the previous actions of the Violet family, seeing Locke's behavior, he couldn't help but speak a little bit. softened.

"No, my friend, please listen to me." Hearing what Yifei said, Locke said hastily.

"Your Excellency Yifei, because the war may trigger a war between the two races, the family knights who were going to support the noble family had to be recalled under the opposition of the higher authorities.

Regarding this point, I don't beg you to forgive our Violet family's betrayal, but I can only express our apology to you, and I hope this will not affect the relationship between your two families." Locke said sincerely this time He told the whole story of the matter, and he hoped that through this, the relationship between the two parties could be eased.

Some time ago, in the war between the wild wolf family and several barbarian tribes, although the wild wolf family did not show many cards, but there is one thing that only he knows, that magical thing let him know, the background of the Monroe family, It's not as weak as outsiders think at all.

The mysterious Monroe family has become a colossus after 300 years of accumulation, otherwise they would not have such a large capital to build a space channel in such a small town.

At the same time, he even guessed in his heart that the Monroe family should have successfully contacted their hometown!Because the last time he came to Wild Wolf City, he never noticed that there were so many war beasts in captivity in the city.

And through investigation, Wild Wolf City has never purchased war beasts from the outside world, and those war beasts just appeared out of thin air!
Although he doesn't know how big the space channel established by the Monroe Clan is, or if there are any restrictions, but through the last battle, he can clearly know that after 300 years of accumulation, the strength of the Monroe Clan in the Eastern Continent is already beyondlerable. Underestimated!

Yes, it is a space channel, a thing that only exists in ancient legends!As the descendant of a big family, Locke is not so ignorant, he knows that the space channel does exist.

Just like the passage of the demon abyss sealed in the holy city, it is also a passage of space, which connects to a terrible place, which is called the demon race by all the races in the mainland.

It's just that the starry sky stone needed to build a space channel is too rare, and the only place where it is produced is the Demon Abyss Valley, otherwise the space channel would not be so precious.
