Chapter 287 Act Together
Whether it is used for construction or profit, mining is an original accumulation method that cannot be avoided. Feiqi cannot improve the productivity of the entire kingdom in an instant, but he does have a way to reduce the difficulty of mining, so as to make all kinds of mineral materials cheaper and improve (hand) industrial capabilities in disguise.
Moreover, these minerals located through the "Divine View·Great Prophecy" are likely to have crystal clusters. For this reason alone, Feiqi cannot give up the mining operation.
Mom and Ssina could not enter and exit the palace as freely as Feich, and they were arranged to live in the city. Feich gave both gold and silver and precious treasures to Shani, and asked her to buy a villa in the city as the residence of the two of them and Eddie, and could also be used as a place for friends to come to the capital.
However, Shani did not buy a villa, but chose a three-story building. It was a new house with a restaurant and fifteen rooms in the foyer, a stable in front and a small garden behind. It was a quiet place. Because it was safe and sound on the night of Blood Meteor, it was considered a very lucky place. At the same time, Shani bought the Maris Manor outside the city, which was a Baron Manor that occupied the entire hill. There were enough rooms to accommodate the faculty and staff of the Magic School and also provided most of the venue for the Knights of the Hell.
This Maris Manor is the place where Earl of Hall and Marquis of Siya watch the battle on Blood Meteor Night. When Andrew ascended the throne and became king, the place lost its meaning as a "secret activity base", so he took advantage of the opportunity of Feich to find a place to live and sold it to him with justification. The people left in the manor were all servants that the Hall family could believe, and they were also allocated to Feich. Feich and Shani didn't know so many secrets. They bought it and mainly looked at the big place, the good location and the cheap price. In addition, they walked around but did not find any "curse" here.
Maris Manor will be renamed Shaki Manor, which is the meaning of Shani in front and Feichi in the back, but it will be officially renamed after the renovation is completed. The only person who lives in the fire dwarf Kazmuk, who always keeps eye on the construction of his craftsman shop and serves as the supervisor sent here by the way. Feichi and Shani did not live in, so Mom and Ssina would not be placed here. They lived in small buildings in the city, enjoying the various inconveniences caused by the lack of daily necessities.
"The cabinets here are all empty. I finally found half a bottle of wine from the corner of the cellar, but they all smelled." Mom sat on the wooden chair at the dining table. His heavy body made the chair crunch overwhelmed. Ssina stood behind him with her arms in her arms. The half-dwarf rubbed her nose and said in an unsatisfied tone: "Feich, you can't just let someone work and not let someone have a good rest, right?"
"Don't worry, I'll take it with me." Feiqi took out the good wine from the space bag and handed it over the table. This was originally prepared to appease Hydes. He never thought that the sea monster was easy to talk and had a better temper than expected, so this bottle of good wine of fifty gold coins became Mommy's. "Shanie and I were in the palace most of the time, and there were few people around us, so we didn't have to fill the cabinets here. I'm so sorry."
"It's okay if there is no wine. The water tank here is not full, and Ssina hasn't finished taking a shower." Mom pulled out the bottle plug with his finger, took a sip and let out a long sigh, and then said, "Feich, we are not trying to pick your fault, but this trip is really tiring. We drill holes everywhere..."
Ssina raised her foot and kicked on the back of the half-dwarf's chair: "Stop talking nonsense, I feel that you have been drilling underground for a while, and now you are infected with the dwarf's nagging disease? Say it's important!"
"The important thing is... we have checked all those places." Momm reached under his dense beard, pulled the rope and pulled out a knuckle-sized key. Ssina lifted up the leather armor, took off a padlock leather bag from the belt where the flying knife was originally placed, and opened it with Momm's key. There were four pages of parchment paper, with only the number number, mineral name and corresponding long string of rune characters inside.
"We calculated these coordinates with positioning, which can only ensure that these records are correct, but we don't know if the coordinates are correct." Momm took out a magic device with runes written on the table. "Feich, this coordinate disk consumes a lot of mana, which makes us both unable to sleep well. Are you sure that those of your students can use it normally?"
"Of course, if we cannot use the positioning disk, how can our teleportation array know where the goods should be delivered? Of course, there are only a few that can support the consumption of the coordinate disk, but I believe that they can study hard in the future and each one can do it." Feiqi did not look at the coordinate disk, but solemnly took the pages of parchment with both hands and browsed it quickly.
The number numbers on the paper correspond to the "important location" serial number found by the Divine View Great Prophecy. Some serial numbers on the parchment are empty. In response, Ssina said: "Some mines have been excavated, so it is not convenient for us to enter."
"It doesn't matter, I'm not a robber, I'll just be fine if someone digs it." Feiqi's eyes saw important resources such as gold, iron, coal, and copper, and also saw three places marked "none". "You also recorded the teleportation coordinates in places without mines? You are so serious and responsible!"
"It's all your request, have you forgotten?" Mom widened his eyes: "You patted my shoulder hard: Mom, coordinates are the most important. Even if there is no mine, you must record the coordinates..."
"Have I said that?" Feiqi pretended to be stupid and laughed twice. "Thank you very much for this information you gave me, it can help a lot."
"It's enough to be in vain." Sisina leaned her hands behind her head, leaning on the door frame in a more comfortable position: "Feich, will we arrange for us to go out for mines soon, right?"
"No. The God-Looking Great Prophecy only covers such a large range, and you have already completed it. I haven't fully understood the mechanism of this Great Prophecy yet, and it is impossible for the sect to organize another Great Prophecy. Even if I understand it in the future, I will send students from that time."
"That's what I want to hear." Ssina said: "I will use this time to take a break. Anyway, I have heard that your Hell Knights will be the main force in fighting monsters in the future. Does this mean that we monster hunters are..."
"The instructor of the Hell Knights is rewarded with fifty gold coins every month, and there are two places left at present." Feiqi said bluntly: "You are right. The Hell Knights will be the main force in dealing with monsters in the future, but this does not mean that the monster hunter has been eliminated. The monsters sent by the blood-colored meteor are not the kind of country monsters that can be dealt with by one or two people, but dangerous things that require at least one army to fight against. The combat mode is different. But no matter how it develops in the future, the experience of the monster hunter is extremely valuable."
"I want to ask what if we teach the Knights of Hell, what afterwards?"
"The Knights of Hell will work hard to survive with the knowledge of Monster Hunter, or adapt to their positioning, or be eliminated." Feiqi stared at Scina: "What are you worried about? Do you think the Knights of Hell will completely disappear from Monster Hunter? Yes, there is indeed this possibility. Not only the Knights of Hell, but the emergence of future magicians or other new professions may cause threats. This is like a king will die, and even the royal power and gods will die."
"Sisina complains a little, don't take it seriously. Monster Hunter and Ice Peak Fortress are her only homes, and you should understand their importance." Mommy made a smooth move and said to Fitch, then turned his head to Sisina and said, "Okay, the night of Blood Meteors was not caused by Fitch. You also know that some of these monsters can't be dealt with. The Knights of Hell are still troops after all, and we Monster Hunters are never afraid of the army grabbing food, right?"
"Whatever you say, there is no explanatory abilities of Monster Hunter in the past, and it will not be spread from me." Ssina looked at Feige: "I know I can't stop this. After all, you are the leader of the Knights of Hell, and you are more proficient in Monster Hunter's rituals than we are. I just want to say that if Kipling is still alive, you don't have such a chance."
"I agree with this." Feiqi nodded: "If you don't come to the Hell Knights as an instructor, then I have a chance here and I don't know if you are interested?"
"You are still the presiding priest of Ice Peak Fortress. If you have a task, just say it."
"It's not the mission of Monster Hunter, but the intelligence consultant Mathers. At the King's martial arts competition a while ago, he let the dangerous priest sneak into the venue, and I took the initiative to solve it, so he owes me a favor. I know you have been investigating the matter back then." Feiqi stroked his face with three fingers, "You are too weak by yourself, and Mathers is conducting a nationwide investigation. He investigates whether there are other dangerous spell casters, and you can take this opportunity to use his channels. He has always wanted me to use this favor quickly, otherwise you can help me fulfill him!"
Ssina nodded silently, her face slightly better.
The Knights of Hell encountered many resistances, and Ssina did not want to be an instructor was just the smallest thing. Since the rest of the Ice Peak Fortress joined the Knights in different ways, Ssina actually did not have any impact. The real resistance came from the nobles of the Kingdom, who believed that Fitch did not currently have a title and was not qualified to command the kingdom's army.
This is purely a picky person, but it is tenable according to the laws of the kingdom and the practice of the nobles. In the United Kingdom, any army must be led by a noble, and the number of troops that a noble can own and manage according to his or her own title is stipulated. In wartime, only the orders of the king can break through this number limit.
But now is not the war period, so the non-noble army that appeared near the capital is all "bandits". Although Andrew was the king, he could not give Feich a title, because this means that Feich could not inherit the title of Earl, which would definitely not work. Feich was very committed to being the supreme commander in the Knights of Hell and did not accept any "airborne" nobles.
Nowadays, many nobles quarrel about this matter if they are not in trouble. Although they cannot hurt Fitch's hair, they are affecting the reputation of the Hell Knights. "If it does not comply with the law, it may be cut off at any time, and there is no future to go there..." Such a statement cannot be eliminated if it comes out.
There are many other things like this, including harassing members of the Hell Knights who have registered. Only after the Shaki Manor is repaired and the Hell Knights have relatively closed training and living environment will these harassments be reduced. Feiqi knew that if no one was behind the scenes, he would not have the current scale and sustainability at all. He did not have the energy and personnel to investigate who was behind the scenes. The only one with this ability and responsibility was the intelligence consultant Mathers.
Mathers owed others favors, and this statement was just a cover. In fact, Mathers "owed" Feich money. This nationwide investigation was true, and many of the funds consumed were paid by Feich. Anyway, every investigation was to collect various information and then screen. As for screening out cults or rumormongers, or those who hurt Scina back then, it would not cause additional workload.
Letting intelligence consultants help can only treat the symptoms, while making the Hell Knights become invincible can only cure the root cause - but this will take a lot of time. Feiqi has always believed that the key to the power of the Hell Knights lies in magic, but he alone cannot teach the entire Knights.
"Have the team of the Magic School set off? When will they arrive at Shaqi Manor?" Feiqi asked when he left the building and returned to the palace with the mine information scroll.
"According to the plan, they should set off in ten days. They will follow the Tibetan girl. The road is arranged, and Gresham, who is from Anlin, will give him a portion. As long as they enter the Lighthouse, Andrew's knights can take over the escort work, and the safety is guaranteed." Shani replied.
"Gresham? He has gone back! Yes, Andrew has made a formal proposal to the sect master to let me take over as the Lord of the Lighthouse. Gresham should go back to deliver the letter. But he is going to the Holy Three Castle first. Can he rush back to Anlin Colonel within ten days and arrange everything?"
Shani said: "Gresham said there is no problem and he seems quite confident. I think no matter whether he can rush back or not, Anlin Corps will definitely protect our people. But recently there are more rumors about the Knights of Hell. We have given Mathers a lot of money, but his results are not so quickly. Although I am not worried about Gresham, will those who don't want to see the Knights of Hell think of the magic school?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. I don't have many resources in the United Kingdom, and because of the influence of "Learn Magic and find Feich", everyone knows the magic school of Minas Ishir and my relationship. The real enemy will not let it go." Feich glanced at the scroll in his hand: "So I'll go back to Minas Ishir and do the mining and escort thoroughly. Shani, how about you go with me?"
