Lord Harland

The dragon's blood fruit tree is a special magical plant. This magical plant not only needs to grow in an environment containing magic, but also needs to be watered with dragon's blood in order for the fruit to mature.

Ripe dragon blood fruit is very helpful in purifying the dragon's blood and treating injuries.

Dragon blood fruit is not only crucial for cultivating dragon-born monsters, but is also a refining material for many kinds of medicines. A high-level dragon blood fruit is often worth about seven to eight thousand gold coins.

There are many dragon-born creatures under Ramoos. In order to cultivate these dragon-born creatures, the legendary dragon collected dragon blood fruit trees. After more than two hundred years of accumulation, there are already more than a hundred plants near Dragon Nest.

In addition to these more than 100 dragon blood fruits, there are also more than 30 magical plants planted inside the Dragon Nest. These magical plants have different grades. The most valuable one is a sky crystal flower, which has reached the legendary first level. . If the potion is refined, it will be of great help to knights and warrior professionals to break through the legend.

According to the terms negotiated between Richard and Grand Duke Jonathan, after expelling the dragon, the medium-sized magic well in the Dragon's Nest will be left to the Jonathan family, but the magic plants in the Dragon's Nest will belong to the Harland Territory. In addition, the gold, gems, and magic crystals collected in the Dragon's Lair are added to each other. The Dragonborn and Warcraft under the legendary dragon's command, each side uses their own methods, and whoever catches them conquers them.

In this battle, the Jonathan family was hit hard by Ramos, with about a thousand casualties and more than 300 officers and soldiers killed. Harland's losses were relatively light, with no more than a hundred casualties and only a dozen killed. The battle was won without much cost.

Although the Jonathan family suffered a lot of casualties, the results of the battle were also very good. They subdued more than 80 half-dragons and captured more than 20 terrain dragons. Leader Harland also seized the opportunity, killing seven wyverns and capturing 23 wyverns. In addition, he emptied the wyvern's nest and obtained six dragon eggs.

Perhaps because he had seen the power of the star bomb with his own eyes, the flying dragons captured this time were easy to tame. After catching these flying dragons, Harland led the flying dragon cavalry to expand to about thirty people.

After seizing the dragon's nest and winning the battle, Richard and Archduke Jonathan divided the spoils and quickly returned to the territory.

There is a lot of floating wealth in the dragon's nest, and dragons naturally like to collect shiny treasures. Although Harland's leader only received half of the dragon's nest treasure, its value was almost incalculable.

First of all, there are gold coins. Ramoos has been a legend for more than a hundred years. He is famous in the Grant Kingdom. He has gone deep into various major territories to plunder many times and robbed about three million gold coins.

Now the three million gold coins were all cheaper for Richard and Grand Duke Jonathan, and each of the two families received 1.5 million gold coins.

One and a half million gold coins is undoubtedly a large sum of money, exceeding the annual income of an ordinary duchy.

In addition to gold coins, a large number of jewelry items were also counted in Dragon's Lair, totaling as many as 20,000 pieces. However, these jewelry pieces are not easy to cash out and their prices are difficult to estimate.

Both parties also added to this batch of jewelry and prepared to sell it slowly in the territory.

Harland received more than 10,000 pieces. If they are all sold, he can recover about 200,000 to 300,000 gold coins.

In addition, there is natural gold in the dragon's nest, totaling about forty tons, and Harland received half of it.

Twenty tons of gold, plus six thousand empty magic crystals, can be used to mint half a million gold coins. It's just that the Harland Territory does not have the right to mint gold coins. If this part of the gold is given to the Grant royal family, it can only be exchanged for 300,000 gold coins. This shows that the profit of minting gold coins is huge.

Seigniorage is a very important income for the great nobles. Richard is not willing to challenge the Grant family yet and has no plans to mint gold coins in the short term. If this gold is stored, it will be of little use to economic development. Richard planned to hand it over to the Grant royal family as soon as possible, exchange gold for gold coins, and then use gold coins to buy food and population.

In addition to gold, there are also a large number of magic crystals in the dragon's nest. These magic crystals are of different grades, which translate into about 160,000 standard magic crystals. Harland received half of them, totaling 80,000 standard magic crystals.

Obtaining this batch of standard magic crystals greatly strengthened the treasury of Harland Territory.

In the end, there were more than 1,000 natural gems and more than 120 magic gems, and Harland received half of them. The value of gems is difficult to estimate, but the minimum value is around several hundred thousand gold coins.

In this battle against the dragon, Harland led the dragon's nest. Including various magical plants, the loot captured was worth up to five million gold coins. There was no doubt that it was a rare harvest.

No wonder the human lords are keen on killing dragons. If the dragon is successfully slain, plus the value of the magic well in the dragon's nest, the income will be enough to reshape a duchy.

Returning to the territory, Harland led the magicians to immediately transplant various magic plants. The Harland Territory built three mage towers and opened a magic plantation around the Snow Crystal Lake, with enough space to transplant magic plants.

Among these magical plants, the most important ones are the legendary level Sky Crystal Flower and several high-level Dragon Blood Fruit trees.

Because Harland's wizard tower has sufficient magic power and the level of planting magic plants is quite good, these magic plants were successfully transplanted smoothly.

After successfully transplanting the magic plant, Sophia was ready to refine the legendary Styx potion, while Richard took out a large amount of gold coins to continue purchasing food and population.

This spring, Richard led his troops south and purchased about 50,000 serfs, then robbed the Delong Kingdom and captured 360,000 people. Although a number of old and weak people died on the way, more than 400,000 people entered the Harland Territory in the spring. population.

Harland has been busy with the civil service system for about three months to settle the 400,000 foreign residents.

After finally taking a breath, Richard once again prepared to purchase a large number of people.

This time Richard does not plan to go south, but directly trades with Duke Duran. Purchase approximately 200,000 serfs for one million gold coins.

This year when he went south to hit the grass valley, Duke Duran's profit was second only to Richard's, and he captured hundreds of thousands of people.

Selling these serfs in pieces is very troublesome, and the investment cost is not low. It is better to sell them to Richard in one go, and even if they are delivered to his home, he can earn more income.

In order to earn this million gold coins, Duke Duran even sold some of the indentured slaves in his territory.

In addition to spending one million gold coins to buy slaves, Richard also spent 200,000 gold coins to buy a large amount of grain in northern Xinjiang, with the amount purchased being about 100,000 tons.

Purchasing 100,000 tons of grain will not only feed the extra 200,000 people, but also enrich the grain storage.

Since returning to the territory in late August, Richard has been busy waiting for the population deal to be finalized. By mid-September, Sophia was fully prepared to start refining the legendary Styx potion.

The formula of the Styx Potion is relatively simple, with only three materials, Moonlight Grass, Dragon Blood Fruit, and Soul Crystal. From the third-level preliminary Styx Potion, to the sixth-level intermediate Styx Potion, to the ninth-level advanced Styx Potion, Up to the legendary second-level Styx potion, the formula has not changed.

The two magical plants, Dragon Blood Fruit and Moonlight Grass, have positive and negative magical energy, one yin and one yang, all to bring out the power of soul crystallization. Compared with various complex potions, although the legendary second-level Styx potion is of high grade, it is not very difficult to refine.

After various early experiments, a potion apprentice with sufficient magic power can successfully refine a third-level elementary Styx potion.

Before refining the legendary Styx potion, Sophia had already refined hundreds of elementary and medium Styx potions without ever failing. Sophia already has a very clear grasp of the magical principles behind this potion. Even though it was her first time to refine a legendary level potion, Sophia was still very confident.

After all, Sophia is already an eighth-ring magician, has been promoted to senior pharmacist for many years, and has a unique understanding of the nature of magic. Compared with the senior pharmacists in major magic organizations, her level is even higher.

In order to refine the legendary Styx potion, Harland leader invested a lot of resources. Not counting the legendary soul crystal, a high-grade moonlight grass, and a high-grade dragon blood fruit, the market price is only 26,000 gold coins. about.

In addition, in order to refine the legendary potion, Harland led the improvement of the potion workshop and created a batch of special potion refining tools. Not only did Richard invite Undine, a senior alchemist, to invest as much as 40,000 gold coins about.

If the refining fails, the loss will be so great that even Harland, a leader with a large family and business, will be unable to bear it in the short term.

Although there is a lot of pressure, Sophia is very motivated. She calmed down her somewhat excited mood, took the ingredients for refining the potion to the alchemy table, and opened two magic furnaces at the same time. She first added the prepared special solution to the magic furnaces, and then put in the moonlight grass and dragon blood fruit. The alchemy furnace.

The alchemy furnace is powered by magic crystals and can release extremely high-temperature magic flames. After testing by Harland's leading scientific researchers, the temperature of this blue magic flame can be raised to a maximum of about 3,000 degrees, and can smelt all kinds of metals. Metal.

Blue flames ignited on the magic furnace, and the blood light grass and dragon blood fruit were quickly refined into liquid form.

Seeing that the heat had arrived, Sophia opened the third magic furnace, put the legendary soul crystal into the furnace, and then shut down the No. 1 and No. 2 furnaces.

The temperature of the magic furnace is very high, and in just a dozen minutes, the soul crystal turns into a milky white liquid.

Sophia poured the soul crystal solution into a special transparent thickened beaker.

This kind of beaker is a special magic prop refined by Undine. It uses a lot of magic crystal materials. It can not only isolate the temperature, but also allow various medicinal liquids to be fully mixed. The price of a beaker is about three thousand gold coins.

Before waiting for the liquid to cool down, Sophia poured the blood light grass solution and dragon blood fruit solution into the transparent beaker at the same time. In an instant, a violent reaction broke out in the beaker, and the medicine instantly turned into three colors: black, white, and red. Steam gushes out from the mouth of the beaker.

Sophia activated the magic power in her body, and rays of magic light were emitted from her hands. The magic light enveloped the alchemy beaker, and a dazzling white light emitted from the beaker. It lasted for more than ten minutes before the three medicinal liquids were completely integrated. A cup of light red potion appears inside the beaker.

The refining of the legendary Styx potion this time was tailor-made for Sophia. Seeing that the potion had been successfully refined, Sophia took the potion decisively.

After taking the potion, Sophia's body suddenly became hot and cold, and her expression became ferocious and painful. Her whole body seemed to be eaten by countless insects. This was a kind of pain above the soul.

Sophia has a strong willpower, and at this moment, she can only grit her teeth and hold on.

When Sophia was refining the Styx potion, Richard and others were around. After she took the potion, Richard immediately began to observe her physical condition.

Through mental power detection, Richard discovered that Sophia's magic power was getting stronger and stronger, almost more than doubling.

This situation suddenly appeared, and Richard immediately understood that Sophia's mental power had exceeded forty points and she had awakened her magic power multiplication talent.

For a magician, magic power multiplication is a powerful talent. After awakening the magic power multiplication talent, the magic power will be doubled with the same mental power. Generally speaking, only extremely talented magicians with mental strength exceeding forty points before the ninth level can determine this kind of domineering talent.

Of course, there are many legendary mages whose mental power has exceeded forty points before the ninth ring. For example, Irina of the Venus family has also awakened this talent.

According to normal standards, taking a legendary Styx potion can increase your magic power by about 60 points.

The ratio of a general magician's mental power into magic power is one to ten. Sophia has outstanding talent, and the ratio of mental power to magic power is 1:12.5. In this talent, Sophia is even better than Richard.

After all, Sophia is a rare talent with high-level magic talent. Not only is Richard's elemental intimacy not as good as Sophia's, but the ratio of mental power into magic power is also slightly inferior.

Taking a Styx potion can increase an ordinary person's mental power by six points, but when placed on Sophia, the mental power can only be increased by about 4.8 points.

After being promoted to the eighth-ring magician, Sophia's mental power increased to 37 points. Logically speaking, with an increase of 4.8 points of mental power, her mental power would increase to 41.8 points.

Unfortunately, after the mental power exceeds 40 points, the effect of taking the Styx potion will be reduced by about half. In the end, Sophia's mental power only increased by four points, reaching forty-one points.

After awakening the magic power multiplication talent, according to the standard of the attribute panel, Sophia's magic power has reached 1025 points, which is far higher than the average nine-ring magician.

After awakening the magic power multiplication talent, Sophia's combat power has approximately doubled. At this time, her magical power was already superior to that of Pansy Grant of the Grant family.

Pansy Grant of the Grant family has been promoted to a nine-ring magician for more than ten years. Her mental power is only 38 points. The ratio of mental power into magic power is also relatively ordinary. The magic power is only 380 points, which is less than half of Sophia's magic power. Although Panxiduo has mastered several nine-ring magics and has richer magic methods, but the magic power is too different, so his combat effectiveness is naturally far inferior.

Mages like Richard and Sophia who have mastered the talent of magic multiplication are far more powerful than ordinary nine-ring mages. Their power is equivalent to that of a weakened legendary mage. The only thing that is not as good as the legendary mage is the elemental body and legendary spells.
