Chapter 239 Melissa's News
A large number of ratmen have gathered in the mountains near the passage, and the troops are not in a numerical advantage.
These ratmen should not have inhaled much poisonous smoke, and their troops were the suppressed party.
Klauen noticed that Tula's sword skills were precise and deadly, and he could kill a ratman with almost one strike, but there were too many ratmen, and his efficiency in killing them was not high.
He activated his fire breath, released his source armor and golden light to protect his body, and rushed forward.
At the same time, two bronze swords appeared in his hands. With the Fire Cube, he rarely carried weapons now. The only pity was that the Cube could only store pure metal products, otherwise he would have an extra backpack space.
The blade storm began to rage among the ratmen. Many ratmen saw this scene and recalled the nightmares in their hearts, so they immediately turned around and fled.
How could they escape? Crown would not let go of these mobile experience packs and chased after them immediately.
Staying here can gain more proficiency in Blade Storm, but if a few ratmen escape and happen to reproduce, even if this operation is not completely successful, this is the overall situation.
Tula also noticed that Klauen had joined the battle, and when he saw the results of the other party's strange sword technique, his eyes narrowed.
He didn't think much of this sword skill when he first saw it, but this inherent impression has now changed.
It turns out that this sword skill is so effective against a large number of low-level enemies! I am shallow.
Tula understood in his heart that this sword skill was not intended for fighting against extraordinary people of the same level.
After Crown had chased down all the escaped ratmen, he returned and joined the ranks of killing the ratmen again.
When the ratmen were completely wiped out, Tula came up to greet them warmly: "Sir Klauen."
Clown was a little surprised. When they met today, although the other party was just as polite, he could sense a slight sense of alienation. At that time, he thought that the other party showed that emotion because of their different factions.
"The combat mission is over. Thank you for your hard work, Master Tula."
"Haha, working for the church and the pope is our duty, so it's not hard at all. I was itching to see your sword skills today. I wonder if you have time to spar with me."
Tula responded with a smile. He noticed that the opponent's sword skills were actually very similar to his own style. Not so fancy, simple and deadly.
In his opinion, weapons and sword skills were all created to defeat the enemy, and strength and speed are the foundation.
However, many people have learned a lot of flashy techniques in pursuit of flashy sword skills, which is actually missing the point.
A sparring partner who came to his doorstep seemed to have pretty good skills. How could Clown refuse such a request? He readily agreed:
"Of course, I always have time. When will you leave here, Your Excellency?"
He had already thought it through. During the sparring process, he would retain some strength and act as if he was trying hard to suppress his opponent.
Let the other party see hope of defeating you, but always just a little bit short, and squeeze out all of their value.
"If the battle goes well, leave when the next airship arrives."
Seeing that the other party agreed, Tula smiled gently. Although he was an exorcist priest, he had an inexplicable enthusiasm for sword skills. His sword skills were better than his flail skills and hammer skills.
Clown waved his hand and said gently: "Notify the stonemasons to come here and block the passage. If nothing unexpected happens, we can complete our goal today."
At 4 p.m., the stone wall at the entrance to Shaft No. 1 was removed. Although ventilation equipment continued to deliver fresh air to the mine, the thick smoke in the cave did not completely dissipate until 7 p.m.
The army sent elite troops to investigate overnight and found that the rat people inside had suffocated to death.
The flying object searched all the small passages extending out of the mine and found a large number of ratman corpses inside.
They explored the rest of the mines overnight and found that all the ratmen were dead without exception. The threat of ratmen was lifted. The remaining task was to move the bodies out of the mines and burn and bury them together.
For the people of the Church of the Lord of Fire, burning is what they are good at.
Once the craftsmen repaired the mine tracks and mine carts, the task of transporting the bodies would be much easier.
The next afternoon, after the ratmen in the mining area were eliminated, ordinary people could do the remaining work.
At this time, the castle and church in the mining area had been completely built, and the bell tower had been erected.
Crown left five second-level transcendents, two hundred crusaders, and one thousand crusaders here to protect the safe production of the mining area.
He returned to the sanctuary with Nick and others, and from then on they only needed to come here to inspect the work for a few days every month.
On the way back, he and Tula agreed that they could practice against each other at the training ground of the central church every morning until the other left.
. . . .
Not long after Crown returned to his office at the Central Church, Lisa came rushing over.
He frowned slightly, thinking: 'How could she know my whereabouts?'
It was very likely that the other party had bribed some servants of the church, so he simply said it directly: "Your Excellency is well-informed. I just came back and you arrived."
Lisa understood what happened from his tone and said with a smile:
"Your Excellency must have misunderstood something. I have been asking Bishop Fanny every day when you will be back. At noon today, the bishop told me that you will be back in the afternoon. I have come here twice this afternoon.
If you don't come back in the next two days, I will go to the mining area to find you and complete the transaction."
Her potion was about to run out. With an ample supply of potion, she had discovered that her own spirit had been significantly purified and the evil thoughts within it had been significantly suppressed. She also felt that the efficacy of the other party's potion was increasing.
She felt the hope of completely purifying the spirit, and the medicine must not be discontinued at this time.
Crown's expression relaxed, and he went to find Fanny to confirm the situation soon.
If what the other party said is true, it would be fine. But if someone really tipped off the other party, he must be severely punished.
"Have you received the message I delivered a few days ago?"
Fanny smiled bitterly and said, "I got it. Your Excellency said that he would stop trading Bear Heart Potion and only accept Control Potion.
Frankly speaking, the amount of control potion you requested is too small."
When she received the message from the other party, she was extremely surprised. She did not expect that her alchemy studies would lose their appeal so quickly. The other party only accepted twelve control potions.
Klauen said, "Hmm," and then said, "If you bring the potion, we can complete the transaction now."
He brought with him a lot of golden talismans, so he was able to make talisman water on the spot.
"Of course I have the trading items with me," Lisa took out the potion, put it on the table and pushed it to the other party.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Klauen checked it and nodded, "Wait a moment, I'll get the medicine."
He walked into the small cubicle in the office, burned a few talismans, and filled eighty bottles of talisman water.
Gently opening the window, he put the sixty-four bottles of talisman water into the box and walked out of the room after the smell of the potion dissipated.
If the Brotherhood found out that he could produce golden light potions in such high quantities, they would definitely consider kidnapping him, even though he has become a bishop. Such an ability is too strategically significant.
Clown handed the box to the other party and said, "This is the potion for the trade. Sixty bottles per month, plus the control potion can be exchanged for four bottles, a total of sixty-four bottles. You also need to give me three hundred and four gold spirit coins."
Lisa took the box and counted the quantity, then took out a box after confirming that it was correct.
She took out a few gold spirit coins and pushed the box out.
Crown looked at the number and said with a smile, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
"After completing the transaction, I will take the church's next airship back to Rhine City to exchange for the mithril."
"Okay, I need a lot of mithril, at least thirty pounds."
The Archbishop once said that the silver-level sublimation array required forty pounds of mithril.
If the advancement is successful, these mithril essences will eventually be integrated into the body of the silver level and form the first drop of silver blood.
The church will provide each bishop with potential for advancement with ten pounds of mithril at a low price, and the remaining gap will need to be found by themselves.
This was not good news for Crown, because his advancement speed was beyond ordinary people and he did not have so much time to accumulate mithril.
Being able to obtain a stable supply channel from the Brotherhood was a good thing. He was ready to release more Rune Water in exchange for enough Mithril.
. . . .
Number 9 Solent Street is Crowne's residence, and today it welcomed its owner for the first time.
This is a huge house with a three-story red brick and stone house in the middle, two rows of two-story side houses, and a basement underground.
In the study, Del, William and Melissa sat on both sides of Crown.
William reported the current situation: "We have recruited a group of excellent blacksmiths and arsenal technicians. The salary is 20% higher than that of Rhine City, otherwise these skilled workers are unwilling to leave their hometown.
The blacksmith shop is now ready for operation, but the arsenal will need another half a month to install and debug the equipment before it can start production."
He took out a brown paper bag and handed it over with both hands: "I have surveyed the land allocated to you. This is my idea for your other properties. Please take a look."
Crown took the document bag and said:
"I'll take a closer look and give you an answer in a few days."
He paused, then said, "Do you have anything else to do?"
Del shook his head. He was not responsible for industrial matters. He only needed to work hard to improve his own strength.
Janice came here with him and will stay in the training camp of the new parish. From now on, he only needs to follow the bishop wholeheartedly.
Melissa smiled and said, “Your Excellency’s words must be fulfilled. A few days ago, I successfully advanced to the second-level knight.
You said that as long as I succeed in advancing, you will train me well."
Del was shocked, as he was not aware of Melissa's advancement. He did not expect that she could become a second-level knight without showing off.
Such strength is the backbone of each force. He has a sense of crisis in his heart. If his progress is not fast enough, he may lose the core position in the bishop's heart.
