Super Floating City

afternoon.

When Stephen returned to Yarantir after finishing the other two hatching nests, the battle here was almost over.

The Golem Legion is divided into four teams and is cleaning up Yarantir area by area. The traces of corruption that have spread are gradually dissipating due to the death of the nest. Their greatest role is to provide the monsters with nutrients to maintain their basic survival. Nearby monsters will also wither gradually. The obsidian gargoyles landed on the broken city walls of Arantier one by one, and they re-formed into statues. Stephen set a new order for them, and they would only be activated when they found the magic eye approaching. The heavy steel golem blocked the entrance of Arantir like a door god, and the internal battles were basically handed over to the stone golem.

Erhuoman has already ran out to clean the battlefield with a full face.

Stephen's maids brought the survivors of Arantier over, while Countess Ilya led a group of people straight to the city hall of Arrantil.

Under the floating tower.

Miss Pasha's group stood below quite nervously and terrified. The closer they got to the floating tower, the more panicked they became, because they couldn't understand how such a huge building flew into the sky. The number of survivors is about four to five hundred. Apart from Miss Pasha and her party, there seem to be some people who survived hiding in the underground secret room. The huge floating tower cast a shadow that almost covered the entire square area. They waited in place tremblingly, feeling a little anxious about their future fate. Because they don't know how Stephen will deal with people like themselves.

The floating tower cannot fall down yet.

Yarantir does not have such a large open space, and a huge lifting structure needs to be built.

Stephen's figure flew down slowly.

After he landed, he frowned slightly, and looked at the mottled and dirty blood around him. The whole city was seriously polluted, and there were monster corpses and spilled blood everywhere.

"It looks like a heavy rain will be summoned tomorrow." Stephen said to himself.

Call the wind and shake the rain.

This is of course a necessary ability for legendary wizards, but meteorological spells are basically above the eighth ring level, and there are very few wizards who can study them on weekdays.

Huh?

Stephen glanced at these survivors, and then took a closer look in surprise: "It's still a coincidence."

There was someone inside that he knew.

However, the two parties are just casual acquaintances, and Stephen only went to Howling City with their caravan when he first came to this world. The original caravan leader seems to be gone, and now the leader is his daughter, the veiled girl, who was originally in charge of the entire caravan. Stephen has a deep memory. This is a very powerful businesswoman.

Another thing that attracted more attention was the only Argonian warrior in the crowd.

His name seems to be Dixon, and Stephen has a deep impression of him, because this Argonian warrior seems to be a chatterbox, and he talked the most in those days when he followed the caravan.

This is a very strong fighter.

At present, it seems that he has advanced to the next level. The Argonian's strong physique is very suitable for the development of the warrior.

"Your Excellency."

"Thank you very much for saving us." Miss Pasha stood up with a panicked expression.

She saw that Stephen in front of her was a little familiar, but she didn't recognize it, because many people followed the caravan every time it went back and forth. Stephen only stayed with them for a few days, and his appearance now is completely different from that time . That Stephen dressed up as a run-down nobleman, but now he is a legendary wizard that everyone needs to look up to.

"It's easy to do." Stephen smiled.

He turned his gaze to the other survivors, and then couldn't help but frowned slightly, because he saw the figures of some nobles.

"You are safe now." Stephen pondered for a moment and said, "If anyone wants to leave, I will prepare some supplies and weapons for you."

"But if you want to stay here, you have to play by my rules."

"The situation outside is not good now. The whole world has been invaded by ancient evils. If you don't have much strength, I still suggest staying in Arantier for the time being."

After speaking, he glanced at the nobles in the crowd again, turned around and returned to the wizard tower.

The local surviving nobles.

Stephen thought they were dead, but it didn't look like that.

These people are pretty smart, knowing that they can't jump out to find trouble at this time, but it's a bit troublesome to keep them. Stephen plans to find someone to watch them, and then picks the time to directly exile them.

Yarantir is his territory.

Stephen would never allow the original aristocratic forces to continue to exist here.

"Wow!"

"Master, master! We found very good gold!" Erhuoman's voice sounded.

Stephen's face immediately became a little happier when he heard the words, and he ordered: "Very good. Immediately let the golem puppets transport them to the floating tower."

Yarantir is a city with a lot of heritage.

Although it has been through the flames of war, it still has some property. Stephen immediately blocked the entire aristocratic district and commercial district. Now Countess Illya is leading people to collect the spoils from it. Mainly gold, silver, gems, steel, weapons, armor, etc., those handicrafts have basically been damaged. Erhuoman is in charge of leading people to dig the basements of the aristocratic areas one by one. The aboriginal nobles like to hide their wealth in the cellars very much. The Zela Ants are currently helping to dig them one by one.

All these wealth belonged to Stephen, and no one could rob him.

Survivors were temporarily housed in civilian areas.

Stephen is not worried here, because the aborigines of the world basically do not have much wealth, and it is good to be able to keep their stomachs full every day.

He doesn't mind these people taking a small amount of money casually.

Night fell.

Countess Illya commanded people to transport boxes of gold, silver and jewels to the floating tower. At this moment, this noble lady with the most beautiful appearance in the North was also excited, and would pick up some precious jewels to look at them from time to time. See, tell the others to keep it separate.

These are relatively famous and expensive jewelry.

Regarding the specific value of this harvest, I may have to spend time to make statistics after I go back.

However, the approximate number can still be counted. They collected a wealth of about 1.2 million gold coins from the treasury of Yalandier. Then, based on the calculation of about 100,000 gold coins per household, there should be more than eight There are gold, silver and jewelry worth a million gold coins, and there are about two to three million gold coins in the business district, adding up to a wealth of more than 12 million gold coins. As for other materials, it is not easy to count. The biggest trade in Yarantir is cloth, grain, steel, spices, etc. Monsters are not interested in these, they are only interested in the flesh and blood of mortals, so in the commercial area At least 50% of the goods have been preserved.

The wealth here is basically taken away.

Yarantir is the territory Stephen reserved for the Zela ant tribe, and the ant tribe is not very interested in these gold and silver jewels at all.

Hundreds of boxes, large and small, were transported to the floating city.

On the other side of the civilian area, some survivors were drooling, and the few nobles who survived were even more red-eyed. In their view, these are their wealth.

"Miss, what should we do now?" Argonian Dixon looked at the fire not far away and lowered his voice.

Miss Pasha was also staring into the distance. Box after box of gold and silver had already been transported away, and now it was filled with some jewelry. Any box taken out would exceed the wealth of the entire caravan. For a shrewd woman The businessman was quite shocked, she murmured: "Wait a minute. There should be monsters entrenched outside, and the trade route between the highland and the northern border may not be as easy as before."

"Our camel beasts are all dead."

"There's no way people can get the goods back with this alone. And the world is different, and we should find ways to adapt to this change."

The Argonian was a little confused, so he said: "Miss, just tell me what you think. I don't understand at all."

Miss Pasha rubbed her forehead with a bit of a headache when she heard the words, and then said: "This Your Excellency who saved us should be a powerful wizard. For such a wizard, many things are not needed at all. For example, these jewels shipped over. But they are very popular in the wealthy areas of the south, and this gentleman should need a partner to help him sell these jewels."

The Argonian still had a half-understanding look on his face, and asked, "The lady is going to help him sell these jewels?"

Miss Pasha glanced at the Argonian, and said slowly: "Such a powerful lord must not have time to take care of some trivial business matters, so someone must help him deal with these trivial matters. If we can fight for With his support, maybe the Chamber of Commerce can return to its peak."

The Argonian rubbed his head and said, "This...Miss, do you think that Your Excellency with such power will like us?..."

"I don't know." Miss Pasha shook her head and said, "But we must fight for it. This is an important opportunity."

All night long.

The golem puppets are constantly moving things. The warehouse of the floating tower is already full, and now there are hills of food piled up outside. If it wasn’t for the previous fire that burned a little bit, I’m afraid the amount of food is still low. There will be more. Cities in this era like to hoard enough food to last them for several years. On the opposite side of the food are steel, armor, and weapons. A small part seems to be corrupted by monsters, but the weapons in the armory are all well preserved. A set of leather armor, heavy armor, and full-body armor are randomly piled on the ground. Many of those full-body armors were heirlooms of noble families. Stephen collected hundreds of full-body armors in one go, and most of them were found in the noble districts. Thousands of strong bows were thrown in the corner because of insufficient space, as well as piles of military crossbows and shields without iron, all of which were brought up were heavy shields.

Cloth was piled up outside the tower to form a mountain.

The clothes of those dead people will definitely not be collected and scratched, but the jewelry on their bodies must be taken away. Many of these cloths are dirty, but it doesn't matter to take them back and wash them.

There are many other miscellaneous things, so I don’t need to express them one by one here.

Inside the wizard tower.

Stephen looked at the resources piled up outside and had a little headache, because there were many things in it that he didn't need.

Needless to say, gold, silver and jewelry.

It is enough for him to leave dozens of items for everyone, but there are more than a dozen boxes outside, and he must find a way to get rid of these items. Then there are cloth, weapons, armor, etc., some of which are reserved for Countess Illya’s guards, but most of them are still unusable. Stephen will make magic steel armor in the future, all of which are all enchanted equipment. He doesn't like forged things at all.

These also have to find a way to sell.

He almost moved all the valuable things in the whole city, and more than 70% of the spoils harvested this time are useless.

"Owner."

"The corpse of the monster has been cleaned."

A list of the most important trophies appeared in front of Stephen's eyes.

The harvest from the monsters is the big part of this battle. Stephen has obtained more than 3,000 pieces of flesh and blood essence, of which more than 10 are of high quality. Essence of Flesh can be used to catalyze the rate at which an ant colony hatches. Then there are fewer soul spars than expected. There are about a thousand small soul spars, but the number of medium-sized soul spars is close to a thousand, and the number of large soul spars is as many as There are fifteen pieces, basically all of which are dropped by monsters such as distortion monsters and distortion devourers.

"Could it be that killing monsters with lightning spells will really improve the quality of soul crystals?" Stephen asked in surprise.

Lightning spells can harm spirits.

The souls of many monsters were dissipated under the lightning attack, so the number of small soul crystals plummeted, but the dispersed soul power seemed to cause a chain reaction again, and the number of medium-sized soul crystals increased by at least 50% than expected % or so, and then the large soul spar can be said to have erupted once.

"You can try again next time." Stephen said secretly.

According to the normal drop rate, so many monsters have at least thousands of small soul crystals, but now the number of medium-sized soul crystals has increased significantly, it should be said that luck broke out and made a fortune. The only disadvantage is that this method must be done by Stephen himself, and the golem puppets do not have the ability to attack with lightning in a wide range.

"Master." Miss Tinax's figure appeared outside the door.

She leaned slightly towards Stephen and said, "There is a businesswoman named Pasha outside who wants to see you."

business woman?

It turned out to be her!

Why does she want to see herself at this time?

Stephen nodded thoughtfully: "Well. Let her in."
