Chapter Thirty-Four Hope Hongqiao
As a subordinate, Saronwell could have fantasies, but Richard, the highest decision-maker in Archmond, could not.
Richard contacted Wuwei in his consciousness and asked, "Have you received the thing?"
Wumeng seemed very happy: "There are five top-level offerings in total? It's great, when did you become so generous?"
"I only care about when you can become a legend."
"It's almost done with fifteen top-level offerings."
The faceless answer almost drove Richard crazy, and he couldn't help but roar: "Didn't you say that three top-level sacrifices were enough?"
"When you summon me, I'll say one more." Wumeng seemed calm and gentle. Her meaning was very obvious. Richard was too easy to deceive.
Richard suppressed his anger and asked, "How much does it take?"
"There are fifteen more, and there is no need for more. It only takes five to upgrade my level to legend, which is the five you sent. However, to improve my ability to legend accordingly, you need additional sacrifices. Fifteen is just the bottom line. Of course, if you can provide more sacrifices, I can also use up all of them. Add five more, and my double swords can be replaced with artifacts. If I add ten more equipment, I can change all my equipment to artifacts. You understand what this means."
Faceless words calmed down Richard.
A simple level improvement is not very meaningful. The two legendary abilities of Faceless are her powerful. If Faceless's equipment is replaced with magical tools, her combat power will directly soar to the level of a super strong man, which is no less than Richard. She is Richard's greatest help, and of course, it may also be the biggest trap.
Richard has always been worried instinctively, so he refused to improve his faceless strength too quickly. This mysterious Heavenly Selected Guard is one of the few terrible existences that can make Richard feel that his life is threatened. This feeling has occurred when she was just a holy realm.
Richard now has thirty top sacrificial offerings in his hand, and this reserve is already very nervous for the next war. If most of the time is used up for Wuwei, Richard doesn't even know how long this war can last.
But on the other hand, the effect of using sacrifices on Wufeng is immediate, and almost every sacrifice can bring a visible and tangible improvement. Apart from this, Richard did not know any other ways to achieve similar effects.
The question is, can he trust Faceless?
Richard knew very well that she seemed to be the closest connection with Faceless, but in fact, like her mother's nest, she was uncontrollable at all. Other followers, including the strong men who later joined, had soul or magic slavery contracts as a guarantee of trust.
If you pour most of the resources in your hands into Wubei at once, it is gambling.
Wumeng was not in a hurry, always maintaining contact with Richard, waiting quietly for the result. She never seemed to have a strong desire to improve her strength, and it was indifferent whether she had or didn't have it.
After a few minutes of silence, it seemed as long as centuries passed. Richard suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Wait, the offering will arrive soon."
"Oh, how many."
“Twenty-five.”
Wumeng whistled and said, "I'm so generous, then I'll accept it without hesitation. I'll remind you in advance that you may not be able to beat me again."
"I know." After making the decision, Richard became relaxed.
"Why did you suddenly become so courageous?" Wumeng asked with interest.
Richard shook his head and said, "I don't know why I doubt you, but I always feel like I can't trust you. Maybe I'm afraid."
Wumeng let out a crisp and pleasant laugh and said, "What are you afraid of? I'll eat you? Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about the little female cat in Mex first. She will never give up until she achieves her goal. However, you will need a woman when you are tired of fighting in the future. It's not just right that someone comes to your door."
"Faceless." Richard shouted in anger.
Faceless let out a queen-like laugh, and then cut off his contact with Richard.
Richard shook his head and focused his attention on the battle situation of Faro. He knew that the Reapers' full-scale attack was not far away, maybe only half a month, or maybe only one week.
In a war involving the entire plane, this little time is not enough.
On the Faro map, dozens of arrows of various colors are moving towards the Crimson Kingdom, representing the army, some church personnel, and civilians expected to move to the near the final defensive fortress of Blue Water Oasis City.
Richard looked out the window and saw that there were still people coming and going on the street. People already knew that the war was coming, but they were not very panicked because they lived in the Crimson Kingdom because they were under Richard's protection.
Richard suddenly remembered the words of Louis VII, a famous king of the Holy Tree Dynasty. He once said: When he sees his subjects, the real king will understand his duty.
Richard didn't care whether he had the title of a king, because for a private plane, Richard's rights and responsibilities were much greater than any king or even the gods in the plane.
Whenever possible, Richard still wants to do his best to save his subjects, save these subjects who trust him, and hand over his loyalty and power to his hands.
Richard now had only five top offerings in his hand. He finally picked up a plan book in the drawer and flipped through it page by page.
The plan is not very long, but it has an extremely genius idea. The plan is called Hope Hongqiao, which was jointly designed by Luo Qi and Peilin. The core of the plan is very simple, which is to build a giant plane channel connecting the two planes of Green Forest and Liujin Valley in Blue Water Oasis City.
Since the channels are set up between secondary planes, the transmission volume can become very huge and the cost will be reduced to the level of ten gold coins per person, which is something that the channel connecting Noland cannot reach in any case.
With this Hope Hongqiao, Richard can send a large number of people to the other two planes, and by the way, it can also enrich the basic strength of those two planes.
In the past, Richard did not expect that the key to this solution was that the coordinates provided by the Eternal Dragon Palace were limited to the connection between Noland and other secondary planes. If two secondary planes were to be connected, they could only calculate the coordinates themselves. This was not only extremely large in calculations, but also quite complex and difficult.
Richard did not expect that the extremely difficult task of plane coordinate calculation was solved by Palin. He is worthy of being the most outstanding genius in Farrow. He has just followed Richard in plane mathematics by calculating relative coordinates between the three secondary planes and even surpassed him.
After receiving this plan, Richard thought for two days. The main thing hesitation was that establishing a new channel required four top-level offerings resources. Richard also needed time to check whether Palin's calculation data was correct.
Finally, it is also the heaviest factor, that is, it takes a whole month to build the Hongqiao Bridge. With the premise of giving up Faro, there is definitely not a month to build the Hongqiao Bridge. But now, since Richard decided to fight the Reapers to the end, Hongqiao will be put on the agenda.
But can Richard hold on for a month under the Reaper's offensive?
Besides, Palin's data has proven that there is no problem, but Richard doesn't have many resources.
Richard gently patted the plan and made people call Luo Qi in.
Luo Qi has been in the Farrow plane for almost thirty years, but under the influence of the leaves of life, she still maintains the same appearance as Richard when she first met. Now Luo Qi has crossed the threshold of a great magician and can independently make some fourth-level constructions. Even in the three empires of Norland, she is enough to serve as the royal constructor of any empire.
But over the years, she has always stayed in Faro, exploring and exploring the world of construction day by day. According to Faro's time, it often takes more than a year before she can meet Richard.
Although Richard stayed in Faro for a longer time, he often went straight to the laboratory after coming. After several months, she and Richard were separated by several walls, but the distance was as far as the world was.
Richard looked at Luo Qi. She was still beautiful. However, although the years did not leave any traces on her face, they had wisdom and calmness in her eyes.
Richard's heart suddenly felt a little painful, and he reached out to stroke Luo Qi's face and said, "I can hardly believe that you have been in Faro for so many years."
Luo Qi smiled softly: "There is nothing wrong, right? You also know that I only had a little talent at the beginning, but I couldn't say it was outstanding at all. If it weren't for the precious potions you exchanged for several sacrifices, I wouldn't have had the possibility of breaking through the great magician at all. At least for so many years, I have not wasted your trust and the resources I gave me, and I would have achieved something."
Richard didn't know what to say, so he looked at Luo Qi deeply and said, "When this war is over, you can follow me too. After all, Faro will limit your magical growth."
Luo Qi wanted to say something, but when she glanced at Richard, she suddenly smiled gently and said, "Okay."
Richard handed over the plan of Hope Hongqiao to Luo Qi and said, "This is the plan you proposed. I have arranged for people to raise resources and will arrive in Faro one after another tomorrow. You and Palin, I will allocate you another 500 mages to build Hope Hongqiao from tomorrow."
“But, it will take at least one month”
"You will definitely have a month," Richard said firmly.
Luo Qi's eyelashes trembled slightly and her eyes drooped.
After letting Luo Qi leave, Richard lifted the knife box and hung it around his waist, and then walked out of the war room.
