Chapter Ninety Six: Father's Enemy
In Richard's view, this stern-worded ultimatum is actually equivalent to disguised showing weakness.
If the Holy Tree Dynasty is really tough, then what else should I explain, just send troops to fight directly. Just like Richard did when dealing with Brahms, he would directly send troops to destroy your main force, occupy all your territory, and then slowly "investigate" the whereabouts of those Shenmu Wujin. This is called toughness.
However, there is naturally a tacit understanding among the nobles, and such an ultimatum is one of them.
Richard wrote a letter on the spot, and then called the attendant's mage and asked him to find an envoy to send the letter to the Holy Tree Dynasty. Of course, the messenger could not pass through the ultra-long-range teleportation array, as it would be too expensive and the time spent on the road was too little.
As soon as Richard looked at Tongdian, he knew that the lords of the Holy Tree Dynasty wanted to delay time, which was exactly what he wanted to see most.
Therefore, the messengers sent by Richard will set off on griffins, but the flight time is limited every day. In this way, about ten days later, this response to the ultimatum will be delivered to the cabinet of the Holy Tree Dynasty.
In response, Richard certainly denied the allegations against him, pointing out that Marquis Brahms died of a fire. This was an accidental death and could not be counted as Archmond.
Such a response is just like Brahms' response to Richard, all of which is an unrefutable lie. As expected, the Holy Tree Dynasty would also send an ultimatum that would refute Richard's statement and ask for a new explanation.
Then Richard explained again, and the dynasty rebuked it again. After a few round trips, several months passed. With both sides having decent and steps, they would definitely be fighting or reconciliation.
When the attendant wizard left, Richard put the matter aside. It seemed that Saint Martin was quite capable, and I don’t know what to do, but he actually delayed the time.
Although Richard still can't figure out what St. Martin's real intention is, and even the enemy or friend are not clear, at least so far, he has been working happily with this young, sunny and charming Saint Son.
Richard raised his hand, and several light spots appeared in the palm of his hand, and then gathered into a soft holy light. This is the holy light of the Lord of Light, and it is also the source of divine magic cast by the clergy of the Light Church.
Whether it is the golden flame of Michael's Archangel or the blood-colored holy flame in Midarren's fighting posture, they are essentially from this holy light. It is precisely because Richard mastered the power of the holy light that he can drive Midarren's battle version.
This holy light did not come out of thin air. Its source is the divine emblem from the glorious Lord handed over to Richard by St. Martin. Among the divine emblem is the original divine power of the glorious Lord. Richard relies on his real talent to see the trajectory of the divine power and analyzes it with the powerful computing power of the wisdom talent.
During this period, although an analytical model of the Lord of Light had just been established, from the perspective of rule control, Richard had already touched the rules of the holy light. The use of the power of the holy light was no longer under the cardinals.
It can be said that what St. Martin gave Richard is something truly valuable. For Richard, both wealth and equipment are no longer a problem. What he lacks is at least the core materials at the level of the small lord, as well as various powers that can parse powerful rules.
Richard closed his hands and put away the holy light. With the power of the holy light, Richard will have a huge advantage when dealing with the clergy of the Radiant Church in the future with the strong resistance generated by this.
Richard picked up another piece of intelligence, and the envelope of intelligence marked the importance with a scarlet exclamation mark. He pulled out the intelligence and looked at it, his face became solemn.
Richard looked at the two thin pages of paper several times before putting it down. He thought for a while, and then he asked a Knight of the Anfeng to call Asiris over in his consciousness.
After Asiris walked into the study, Richard handed him the two letter papers. When the dark priest saw it, his face changed a little and said, "The Firefox is still alive?"
Richard nodded and said, "This is the information sent by Marquis Sauron. It is said that in the south of the Millennium Empire, someone once saw the whereabouts of the Firefox. He seemed to be moving towards the sea of sand. I remember that in the incident where Wald's family and children were held hostage, many clues pointed to the Firefox. But his whereabouts could not be found at that time."
Asiris took a deep breath and said, "That's right. The power of Firefox is not outstanding. He is just a killer at the Sanctuary level, but he is extremely powerful in disguise and abscond. It is very difficult to find him. The people who held Wald's family hostage were instructed by Firefox. However, not only Wald, but Semir, but also Kailan and Kade had similar experiences, and there were also the shadow of Firefox behind the scenes."
Richard raised his eyebrows and said, "So, is he targeting his father's Thirteen Knights?"
"No. I feel that Firefox is just an ordinary executor, and there should be someone else behind him. He should be targeting Lord Gorton."
"Father's enemy" Richard smiled, crumpled the two pages into a ball, threw them into the trash can, and said slowly: "With my father's character, I don't know how many enemies I made back then, and I have no choice but to investigate them one by one. After all, this matter has been a long time."
Speaking of this, Richard was silent, and the raging fire in his memory once again emerged in his mind. Geden's recklessness when he was young allowed him to gain the glory of breaking through the Eternal Night Forest, but he also lost Elanney forever.
Richard took a deep breath, freed himself from his memories, and said, "We will no longer investigate this matter, but it doesn't mean that it's all. Since the Firefox is so active, he will never think about it in the rest of his life! Archmond is no longer Archmond of his father's age, and no one can be safe after hurting us!"
Richard stood up, paced back and forth in the study for a few times, then stopped in front of Assiris and said, "Since you said that Firefox is difficult, then let us leave it to the experts to deal with him! Assiris, among the top three killer organizations in Norland, I am willing to buy Firefox's head with five million gold coins!"
"Five million!" Asiris took a deep breath, a clear look flashed across his face, and said, "I understand. At this time tomorrow, the reward for Firefox will appear on the list of major killer organizations."
Richard nodded and said, "Although we can't catch the guys behind the scenes for the time being, if they kill Firefox, it will become much more difficult for them to find other lackeys."
At this time, a attendant master knocked on the door of the study and said, "His Royal Highness Richard is an urgent item teleported from Deep Blue."
Richard smiled at Asiris and said, "It seems that Black Gold is going to surprise me again."
The attendant wizard sent in a thick envelope with hundreds of drawings inside, all of which were designed for the night elves.
The heavy crossbows that require a whole team to use, and the pendants that can be loaded on weapons have detailed designs. And now the deep blue mages know Richard's minimum requirements, that everything can be mass-produced.
Richard looked at it one by one, and it took an entire hour to browse all the design drawings. Asiris also praised these designs.
These equipment are practical, simple, easy to maintain, and have great power. Moreover, they are either materials that can be purchased in large quantities or special materials that can be produced in large quantities by Richard's private planes.
For example, the hand crossbow does not use the common high-elastic steel wire mixed bow arms, but uses wood. This wood has excellent toughness and strength, and is a special tree species produced by Lusen.
Richard handed over the design drawings to Asiris and said, "You can go to Nolan for a while and let the workshops on her territory produce these equipment with all their strength. I need to order a thousand sets first."
One thousand sets of equipment mean one thousand night elves. These are powerful warriors of at least level fifteen! I believe that no one can calm down when the wealthy families of Norland heard this number.
However, Asiris did not ask in detail. He knew very well what he could know and what he shouldn't know.
When Asiris left, Richard stood in front of the magic map, pondering for a long time.
After a long time, he found that he could still move out of about seven days to do what he wanted to do. So Richard rang the magic bell and asked someone to call Semir.
The Paladin of Blood hurried over and said, "Hey! Your Highness, stop assigning tasks to me! I can't be busy! Each of the four planes that Brahms got was going to suppress. Do you think it's okay to grab it? Those guys seem to be obedient, but in fact there is no good bird. If you don't deal with them hard, you might stab us in the back a few times!"
Richard patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, these planes are unexpected gains anyway. If they want to rebel, let them make trouble! We can just see which guys are ambitious and then catch them all in one go. This is so easy! There is indeed something that needs to be done immediately at the moment, and it won't take us much time."
Semir shrugged and said, "You have the final say!"
"Pack up your stuff and go with me to Xiulan. You have some day to prepare."
"Xulan? Isn't it already our world? I haven't heard of any abnormal behavior recently?"
"Did you forget? There is still a hidden mouse in Hulanli!"
"who?"
"Dragon Star."
"That guy is a legend!"
Richard slowly smiled coldly: "I have killed many legends!"
A day later, Richard and Semir arrived at the Hulan plane.
This incredibly small plane is the same as before, with no change.
People in the plane have become accustomed to Archmond's rule. Perhaps some people always dream of killing all the invaders, but most people have accepted their current life.
