Act 58 Invitation from the Count of Monte Cristo
Annu said to Baigang "Mopu": "Ports are divided into small and large. Small portals can generally only allow a few people to pass through. After the space cracks are torn, they will heal quickly and cannot be maintained. This portal requires relatively small energy when tearing the space, and the construction materials used are relatively cheap, and there is no need for stable doors. Each mage tower provides construction services, and aristocrats and chambers of commerce with a little money can be built. Just so I followed the teacher to set up several small portals when I was an apprentice, so I am quite familiar with these.
If the tearing space is large enough, the space crack will not heal, but will automatically form a space crack with stable price. Even if energy is no longer injected, it can continue to exist, but some fluctuations will occur from time to time. Of course, these fluctuations can be overcome by a stability gate.
This large portal can be built higher than the tower and wider than the city gate, and is enough to easily pass through the army. It is a slightly more permanent portal. Although I have never presided over the construction, the construction of the large portal is a large project. Almost half of the mages in our Red Tower have participated, and I am one of them. My work was even analyzed in detail by Teacher Adam during class."
Bai Gang asked skeptically: "If I am willing to pay you enough Misin, can you help me build a portal?"
Annu rolled his eyes: "I know very well how to practice, but I can't practice it. It's not just me. In fact, any magician in the seven kingdoms is the same, even the legendary ones are no exception."
"why is that?"
"Because there is no material!" Annu spread his hands, "It doesn't matter if the small portal is willing to spend money, you can always find enough materials. But the large portal is different. Not only does it require a large amount of hardened mitril silver, but it also requires some special materials."
“Special material?”
"That's right, for example, the trunks of the Tree of Life, the keel bones, giant ice spirits, or particularly huge granites.
When the space crack fluctuates, there will be a huge tearing force. If the main material is not strong enough, it will be torn and smashed. However, copper and iron, such as magical metal, cannot be used, otherwise it will interfere with the operation of the magic array on the portal."
Bai Gang thought about it and found that there were many sufficiently strong materials, but he didn't know which one could be used and which one could not be used. If he wanted to make a judgment, the best choice was to bring Annu to the base and let him try all the appropriate materials on the earth.
“What if I have the material?”
Annu said in surprise: "You actually have this kind of material!?"
"It's probably a bit clue."
After hearing Bai Gang's affirmative answer, An Nu finally became serious: "But even so, I still have no use. I can do it with enough materials and workers' words to build a portal, but it takes a lot of energy to tear the space. It is impossible to do it without more than three legendary magicians joining forces!"
Bai Gang shrugged. Not to mention the three legends, he can now bring in a magician of unknown level. Well, it's him... But the plane cracks in the Storm Base are there without tearing them at all, so these three legendary magicians can save it.
So he lied again: "It is not a problem to invite more than three legendary figures with the reputation and financial resources of our Bai family. But they are not magicians, and they don't know if it's OK. Well... I really have to spend money. If I can pay enough Mitsunian, I guess I can find the legendary magician to help me? If they don't like Mitsunian, it doesn't matter. There are so many good things on my side, and there are always those they like."
Annu opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. He originally thought that Bai Gang was a rich noble, but now it seems that he is definitely a far underestimation!
You should know, which of the large portals of the seven kingdoms has not been established by the whole country for dozens or even hundreds of years! And it is not a problem to invite more than three legendary figures! This kind of strength is no worse than the king of a country!
As for spending money, I still said so lightly...
Annu always doubted whether the guy in front of him had found the legendary endless treasure house... Sure enough, this White Earl's greatest talent is that he is rich!
Seeing Annu fell silent, Bai Gang simply suggested:
"Monday Cristo will repay the debt. Since you have helped me, according to the tradition of the Bai family, I must repay your kindness. I wonder if you are in a hurry to return to the Seven Kingdoms. If you are not in a hurry, go back to the fleet's temporary berth with me, where I can entertain you well!"
Dilitean thought for a while and said, "I don't have anything special. If you have extra liquor there, I want to buy some. This kind of liquor can help you in the snow and ice, so I plan to go over, what about you?"
The Dwarf Hot Furnace grinned and asked, "Earl White, do you really have wine there!? It's the kind we've drunk before."
"Of course there are, and there are many better ones than that!"
The dwarf's excited beard was raised: "What you said is true!? That's great! As long as I have one breath, I will definitely go!"
Sawyer opened his mouth, but finally said nothing. He turned his face aside and considered acquiescent. He didn't like Bai Gang, but delicious wine was his favorite.
Others also said that they had no particularly urgent matters to deal with, and they could go to Baigang for a while.
Seeing that no one spoke again, Dilitean smiled and said, "Okay, since everyone has no objection, let's go to the White Earl's camp to rest first."
…………………………
Just two days after the Knights and the Expedition team set out on their own way back, by the river where they met, a strange cavalry team slowly emerged from the woods. They rode a skeleton horse wearing a black robe, and their whole body was wrapped in a tattered black robe. They could not see the body inside at all. They could only roughly see that these knights were very burly.
One of the black-robed knights walked to the sword marks left by Yiwei, turned over and dismounted, stretched out his thin fingers and pinched some dry blood left on the ground by the sword energy. He put into his mouth and tasted it carefully. Then he suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction where Bai Gang and the others left, and let out a long roar on his mouth.
At this time, you can vaguely see a terrifying face under the tattered black robe without skin and only dark green rotten flesh squirming!
