"A project of 30 million to over 100 million gold shields!"

Brestine's eyes were wide open, as if they were about to protrude from his sockets, which reflected the thick red beard on his face. He looked very funny and said in surprise: "Ren, are you kidding me?"

"Yes." Renn replied.

The dwarf's expression suddenly solidified, as if he fell from heaven to the abyss in an instant, and felt an infinite sense of loss in his heart.

"I just said, how could there be hundreds of millions of projects..." Brestine muttered, and saw Renn's face smiling, suddenly his whole body shook, realizing that Renn was not a joke. He even trembled a little, grabbed Renn's arm and asked hurriedly: "What project? Is it a floating city?"

Apart from the Floating City, he couldn't imagine which project would require so much money.

But the dwarfs can't build floating cities, so they can only fight.

"It's not a floating city." Renn smiled and shook his head. "I'm going to build a brand new big city that belongs entirely to my city. In the future, the urban area must be able to accommodate at least one million residents."

"A city with a population of one million doesn't have to invest so much money, right?" Brestine was a little puzzled. He was an expert in this field and quickly calculated the approximate cost, which would not exceed 20 million gold shields at most.

"Because the city is located in a special place, it is also very far away." Renn replied.

"Where?" Brestine vaguely guessed.

"New World, Shield Island."

The dwarf's first reaction was like Master Euroin. Everyone knew the previous failure of Weizerland Floating City, thinking that Rennes wanted to rebuild the new town.

Renn flatly denied it and briefly explained his plan.

Brestine listened very seriously and was thinking in his heart.

According to Rennes' plan, a large city with a scale of only the most simple infrastructure will require two to three million gold shields, and the construction period is very long. The initial stage is more than five years, and if all the construction is completed, twenty or even thirty years will not be enough.

This is definitely an unprecedented project and is rare in dwarf history.

All the stonemason guilds in Lava Fort were dispatched, and they could not afford such a big project. They would definitely invite the tribesmen of other dwarf kingdoms to help.

Of course, the rewards are also amazing.

He has worked with Renn twice, and the wage standards are different. Generally, the compensation is agreed upon based on the difficulty of the project. It is not difficult to build a city. However, considering that he is working in a dangerous new world, he must have corresponding risk compensation and at least one-third of the investment cost.

If calculated based on 30 million gold shields, it is 10 million gold shields!

Even in the Third Age, the Dwarf's most glorious period, the stonemason guild in Lava Fort had never received a single project of tens of millions of gold shields.

And maybe more.

The attraction of gold to dwarves is fatal, whether it is gold, mitril, or pure gold, and its hobby for precious metals flows in the blood of all dwarves.

Brestine's breathing became rapid.

He tried very hard to keep calm and asked, "Ren, can you give out so much money?"

"Before the construction of the city begins, I will pay one million gold shields in advance." Renn said lightly, "After the start of construction, pay wages regularly every month. If the money is not paid, you can stop work to ensure that the dwarf craftsmen will not lose money. For specific remuneration details, we will discuss them when you are sure to take over the project."

Such sincere conditions left Brestine no longer suspicious.

In his heart, there was actually an answer.

If he only built a city on the empire or the old continent, Brestine would agree immediately, but to go to the crisis-ridden New World, involving the life safety of thousands of dwarves, he could not make the decision alone, and he had to obtain the consent of the Lava Fort King.

Brestine thought for a while and said cautiously: "I will return to Lava Fort to discuss with His Majesty the King before I can reply to you."

"Please be as soon as possible."

Ren had already expected this situation and said, "No matter whether you take over the project or not, my plan will be launched as scheduled. I will wait for you for ten days at most."

The implication is that if there is no reply within ten days, he will find another construction team.

Brestine suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

The dwarves are the best architects and craftsmen in the world, but not only Lava Castle, one dwarf kingdom, but also four kingdoms: "Supreme", "Dufeng", "Misin Palace" and "Nine Peak Valley". They are all among the world's mountains. The five kingdoms are both brothers and competitors.

With Rennes' ability, it is not difficult to connect to other dwarf kingdoms.

"I'll go back to Lava Fort right away."

Brestine turned around and left, thinking that this huge wealth of tens of millions or even more than 30 million gold shields would never be allowed to slip away from his own hands, and he must convince the king to agree.

Renn watched him step onto the teleportation array, and ignored the dwarf craftsman at the end of the school.

Soon after.

More than two hundred dwarf craftsmen finished all their work, Renn opened a portal for them, passed through Glamorgan Castle and King Kong Castle, and finally teleported back to Lava Castle.

A team of extreme warriors and two teams of gun wing knights began to settle in Aix Combat School.

More than 100 school employees have been hired and sent to the school. They are both ordinary people and extraordinary people, responsible for the students' food, clothing, housing and transportation. Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and the school is just about to start.

"Ren, come here."

I was transporting the school's teaching tools and household items to Rennes in Aix through the Nebula Ring and hearing the teacher's message.

He opened the portal with his badge and went straight to the top of the Vizelan Tower.

"teacher."

Renne greeted him, but did not see Master Euroin.

Ancivodaus sat on the wide sofa and pointed to the opposite position. After Renn waited, the faint smile on his face calmed down, his expression was a little serious, and he asked:

"Ouroin told me, are you ready to build a city on Shield Island?"

Renn nodded calmly, "Yes."

"Would you be too anxious?" Ancivodaus sighed. "Medra's lesson is still in front of me, not long after."

Speaking of Speaker Medela, his eyes dimmed a little, "Although Vizerland's strength has recovered a little in recent years and its momentum is at its peak, you and I know that Vizerland's overall strength is still much worse than before, and the debt pressure has only been reduced. You are building a city now, and Vizerland cannot give you enough support in terms of combat power or economic aspects."

Because Rennes had previously revealed his idea of ​​building a city, Ancivodaus was not surprised.

He just didn't expect it to start so soon.

"Teacher, most things are not fully prepared before they can be done. As long as you are sure, you should execute them decisively. The sooner the better." Rennes was confident about this.

Ancivodaus's eyes flashed, "How sure are you?"

"70%." Renn replied.

"So high..." Ancivodaus was surprised. It was never easy to build a big city in the New World.

He thought that Rennes was very confident, but he didn't expect that he would be 70%.

Seeing that the teacher was thinking, Ren continued: "Teacher, there are actually two reasons that push me to speed up the construction of the city."

Ancivodaus raised his eyebrows and signaled him to say it.

"First point, it is a great achievement to open up the new continent, and it is a great achievement for the empire to expand its territory, especially on the east coast, the Aberaken area and Shield Island are the best geographically conditions. If it is successfully occupied, it will have great symbolic significance. This is also of great significance to me personally. When I run for the consul in the future, as the most eye-catching political achievement, let the imperial MPs support me and vote for me."

"Geneus' term of office is thirteen years, so I have to build Gotham City within thirteen years and reach a certain scale, so that it can be convincing."

Rennes revealed his true thoughts to others for the first time.

Ancivodaos nodded slowly. He supported Rennes in his campaign for the consul of the Empire. As Rennes said, the successful construction of the city on Shield Island was the best campaign support.

Expand territory and expand territory.

Most of the Imperial parliamentarians were nobles or lords, and for them, there was no more tempting than this.

"Second point." Renne's expression became a little more serious. "I crossed the Karnod Icefield not long ago and found that the number of undead troops in the Scourge Legion has increased significantly. Even in the marginal areas far away from the "Ice Crown Fortress", the undead tombs are increasing, and their strength is getting stronger and stronger..."

Ancivodaus's face changed slightly, "The Lord of Death has obtained the Book of the Necromancer."

"I guessed that too." Renne nodded.

At that time, the artifact of the Dead Book hidden in the Vizelan Tower was stolen by the lich Sazastein. Sazastein's strength is no less than that of the Death Lord, and even stronger.

However, no one expected that the Book of the Necromancer finally fell into the hands of the Lord of Death, Esaz.

The personal strength of the Holy Soul Lich may be stronger.

However, the Death Lord controls all the Death Knights in the world, leads a huge number of Scourges, is better at large-scale wars and killings, and can exert the terrifying power of the Book of the Dead.

This is bad news for Alan Erth as a whole.

"The Lord of Death has obtained a magical weapon that can continuously summon the undead army from the abyss and underworld. Every day, the strength of the Scourge Legion is a little stronger."

Ren said with a heavy face: "And the eternal God of Netipho's Demons, Ekon, has also accelerated the conquest of the entire clan, and no one can stop him."

“The longer time goes on, the more unfavorable it is for us.”

"So, we must knock a nail into the new world and restrain these two abyss forces."

"These two major forces are not a single piece. Shield Island is just at the junction of the Karnod Icefield and the Eastern Plain, and it is backed by the Falling Star Ocean, without any worries. As long as we can stand firm on Shield Island, it is equivalent to inserting into their gaps, like a sharp sword holding the back, making them dare not act rashly."

After Renn finished speaking, he looked at Ancivodaus' reaction.

Ancivodaus pondered for a long time, but hesitated a little, shook his head and said, "Your starting point is very good. But have you ever thought about the risks that with the power of one city, can you resist the siege of two major abyss forces?"

"If you don't try it now, it will only be more difficult in the future."

Renn replied firmly.

Seeing that the teacher's thoughts were a little shaken, he continued to work hard and said softly: "Teacher, Gotham City will be the best bait to catch the floating plateau in Xinxiang. Before the Scourge's strength has expanded to be difficult to compete, this will be our only chance to avenge the Wizard of Wizards."

Ancivodaus couldn't help but be moved, and this reason finally touched him.
To be continued...
