Chapter sixty seven
Speaking of this, the Duke paused, as if to enhance his persuasion, he waved his arms vigorously and said in a clanging voice: "Richar's so-called public execution is just to establish his authority. If Link really did what he did to Luo Qi, he would not have walked out of the portal alive. Since there was no substantial loss, he had to kill Link for a woman. The ransom I received for the second time was entirely for a large constructor, but he still had the intention to refuse. How could the patriarch of Archmond do such a meaningless thing? This can only show Link's value."
The woman was still a little worried and said, "What if this is just because Link knew some secrets that he shouldn't have known in the Faro plane."
Link withdrew from the Royal Constructor Studio because he had several conflicts with Luno's direct disciples, but most of the reasons were learned from Link herself. Women dare not say anything in front of the duke. After all, Link's biological mother is a nobleman with great talent for magicians. Unfortunately, she died of dying childbirth, but she was a little worried.
"This..." Duke Melan's face suddenly became very ugly. He was just used to calm down, but in fact, whenever a group of people walked out, the Duke's heart would suck quietly.
The price he paid this time was too high, but he knew that if it weren't for this, he would never be able to return Link. After he made Link a great decoration master, he would hand over all the income for the first twenty years. The Duke had been comforting himself in his heart, missing the previous twenty years and the next eighty years. Moreover, the significance of a family's large decoration master is not just gold coins. If you want to become a real wealthy family, you must have patience.
But the woman's words hit the duke's vital point. What if Link can't reach the big designer? This idea has been a lifetime, and even made the duke lose his usual calmness and calmness. The duke's thoughts became more and more uneasy. Suddenly, he became furious and shouted: "Shut up."
The woman's face suddenly pale, and she was silent and stopped talking. For many years, she had been standing behind Duke Melan, giving advice for him, and being scolded like this, but she knew that the duke's heart was completely confused. This time she paid not only a large amount of supplies, but also a strategic opportunity for the Mailun family.
If there were other possibilities, the woman knew that Melan would definitely not want to choose Archmond as an enemy. Only idiots would be at the critical moment of planning to march into Ukiyo-e to provoke Richard, who had defeated Schumpeter, Joseph and Mensa, at the same time,
However, Mellon had no other choice. Although due to Gordon's crazy behavior that year, the bottom floating island was not full, the weakest Anan family is Richard's alliance, and the Mellon family's plan to seek cooperation through Link and Archmond did not take effect. Although Link himself has risen rapidly in recruiting professionals and has become a formal architect not long ago, the relationship between the families has made little progress.
In this way, if Melan wants to take office in advance, he needs to get the support of a powerful ally. At present, the strongest part of the alliance is His Majesty Wuding. Zhuiliu, the first loyal dog in the Queen, designated Archmond as his opponent, and this is not an ally who can be ignored if you want to. Zhuiliu first came to the Duke, so this matter cannot be refused at all.
Seeing another group of warriors walking out, the Duke finally couldn't help but shout, "Wait a minute."
The warriors escorted the ransom to stop and looked back at the duke on the terrace. The duke opened and closed his mouth several times, wanting them to stop. At this time, the woman whispered: "This is the last batch of ransom supplies."
The Duke suddenly realized that this was indeed the last batch. Five groups of people had already left before, and they had already delivered the goods to Archmond. There was no reason to spit out the things that were eaten into his mouth. It would be better to send the last bit of things over and exchange them for Link first.
The duke suddenly felt as dry and uncomfortable as if it was on fire. He waved his hand with difficulty and said, "It's okay, you guys go, be careful on the road."
The leading powerful man from the Holy Land immediately said: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely bring back Mr. Link."
The last team set out and then disappeared into the darkness. The duke suddenly sighed heavily and said bitterly: "Let's go. Anyway, the little things you bring will be enough to hire a designer at most."
The last team brought something that was worth only enough to hire an ordinary designer, but the deadline was thirty years. Really valuable things, such as a large number of rare magic materials and two territorial transfer certificates, were sent to the first team,
The duke suddenly felt very tired and rubbed his face hard. At this time, the woman said: "Don't worry, Link is already a designer before he is thirty. In time, it is still very likely to be promoted to a large designer."
The Duke smiled bitterly and said, "But Richard..."
"Richard really became a constructor when he was less than twenty years old, but he was different. That was the person His Highness Su Hailun believed that he would become a saint construction master. Do you still hope that Young Master Link will become a saint construction master?"
Before, when the messenger had just left, Richard suddenly felt a move in his heart and sent someone to Faro to recall Luo Qi. When the Duke's last batch of ransoms were sent, Luo Qi had just walked out of the teleportation array. She rushed to the study and saw Richard carefully studying a design drawing.
Richard raised his head, calculated the time, and said, "This time went well."
Luo Qi tried hard to calm down her breathing with some rapid breathing and said, "Yes, time has not been lost at all. You are so anxious to find me, is there anything wrong?"
Richard smiled and said, "Don't worry, take a break first and take you to see something later."
Luo Qi sat down as she spoke, meditated for ten minutes for a while, and replenished her magic power slightly, which made her face look better. Plane teleportation is still a very physically consuming thing, especially for someone like her who is not outstanding in strength.
Richard put down the structural design drawing in his hand, took Luo Qi and walked out of the castle. At this time, in the open space outside the castle, there were already densely packed boxes, and several boxes were opened, revealing a rare metal with a faint light inside.
Several infantry knight officers and guard captains of great status were standing beside them watching the fun, and immediately amazement that rare metals of this scale would always be worth millions.
These are the ransoms sent by Duke Melan. On the top floor, there are several magic box sealing boxes. Just looking at the exquisiteness and level of the magic box, and the careful attitude of the warriors during the transportation, you will know that it is of great value. These wooden boxes are piled here, just like boxes of gold placed.
Even Archmonds, who have gradually become accustomed to life with wealth, were alarmed. Water Splash, Tiramisu and others heard the sound. Water Splash was very interested in those rare metals. The ogre lord tried hard to bend down and sniffed hard at the demon-sealed boxes. Although for ogres, casting spells is a warm-up exercise before charging, it still likes things with a strong magical aura.
Even Wumeng came out. She was looking through the two transfer documents of the territory with curiosity. When she saw Richard come out, Wumeng raised the documents in her hand and said, "These few pages can determine the ownership of a territory."
"Indeed." Richard replied, knowing that Faceless was still learning the entire Norland world system, so he pointed to the document. The light flashed at the end of the paper, showing a three-dimensional mark made of light, and it quickly disappeared. It was the magic mark that every important document would sign.
Wu Fai shrugged and threw the transfer documents in his hand into the box at will, but was so shocked that the messenger who was guarding him strode and almost threw himself on the box. Then he took the two documents into his hand. Seeing that the documents were intact, he breathed a sigh of relief.
These two documents mean two high-quality baron collars. Any of them is something he may not be able to get after his life, but now he is thrown away by someone, just like throwing two pieces of waste paper.
Faceless, but he didn't care about the messenger's resentful gaze, glanced at the boxes and said, "In addition, these are more than one top-level sacrifice."
Richard smiled and said, "A future big constructor should be worth a top-level sacrifice."
Luo Qi's face changed slightly behind Richard. He wanted to say something, but he held back and said to Luo Qi: "Look, these are the ransoms that Duke Mellon used to buy Link's life. It also includes two baron lords. The territory and property are both good."
Luo Qi immediately smiled and said, "That's really worth a top sacrificial gift, but that's a big builder. Now there are only a few big builder in the alliance, so it's not enough."
The messenger's face immediately became nervous, and the sweat flowed down his face.
Fortunately, Richard said: "Forget it, I have already said that the value of these ransoms is enough."
Hearing these words, the messenger finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Richard glanced at the boxes piled up in the square, pointed to the messenger, and said, "Since all the things have been delivered, come with me, let's go and see Link."
The messenger was surprised and happy and hurriedly followed Richard.
Luo Qi, Wumeng and Shuihua also followed, and even Tiramisu used the reduction technique to make himself smaller, and followed into the castle. Richard went down, circled a few big circles, and then entered the castle dungeon, where Link was locked up.
The castle dungeon is as narrow and wet as other places. The conditions of the prison room where Link is imprisoned are obviously better than other prison rooms. There is also a narrow window on the top. At this moment, Link is sitting against the corner of the wall, closing his eyes to rest. His hands and feet are handcuffed in silver shackles. The shackles are linked to the ground. There is light flashing on the chain at all times. This is a special shackle, specially used for prisoner mages, and can drain the magic accumulated by the mage at any time.
