"I used to be the family librarian. My greatest interest was to look through various books, especially the ancient books that recorded the continent of Angormlos."
Next to the ruins of Ernest's family castle, Anno watched the dwarves collecting books in the ruins while recalling the information the old woman had told him before.
"I consulted ancient books not for the powerful magic of the ancients, nor for the whereabouts of some recorded divine weapon. I just wanted to look at the history. But what surprised me was that most of the history recorded in ancient books was only about 1,400 years.
Going back further, there is very little relevant information. Even if one is found occasionally, it basically records the deeds of the gods in spreading faith.
I once looked up the record of the magic equipment in Lord Anno's hand in an ancient book.
I remember it said it was a key, one of many keys.
If you collect all the keys, you will have the possibility of becoming a god!
Because the information was written so shockingly, I still have a vague impression of it.
But I can’t remember the specific details recorded in ancient books.
If you want to know more details, you have to find the book "**Destroy the World Record". "
The old woman has almost forgotten the name of the book and only remembers the last three words!
An Nuo frowned as he looked at the ruins of the library in front of him, which still had dark marks from the fire.
After the monsters entered the city, they kept setting fires in order to force the soldiers who were hiding to come out.
“I hope I can still find this book!”
Although the dwarves were willing to help Anno find the book, Anno was prepared for the worst.
Looking at the dwarves who were exhausted from cleaning up the ruins, Anor summoned his creatures and instructed them, "Go over and help. Follow the dwarves' instructions and try not to cause secondary damage."
After letting the summoned creature look for the book here, Anno turned and walked to an open space, frowning and thinking.
"It is now the 1408th year of the Alliance calendar, which means that the Alliance alone has existed for more than 1,400 years. But why did the old woman say that the history recorded in ancient books is basically only 1,400 years? What about the history before the birth of the Alliance?"
Annuo pondered for a long time and had a guess in his mind.
That means the previous history was destroyed by a god or some gods!
If this is really the case, it means that some major changes must have occurred on the continent of Angomlos more than 1,400 years ago!
An Nuo took out the magic cube and looked around, then said to himself, “According to Philomena, if you want to become a god, you must either comprehend the power of rules, break through the ninth level, and be promoted to the God Clan.
Or integrate the already condensed divine throne and godhood!
After collecting all the magic cubes, you will have the opportunity to become a god. Does this mean that through this magic cube, you can obtain a certain godhood?"
It is unlikely to comprehend the power of rules, and the Rubik's Cube should be related to clues about the godhead.
But if that's the case, why are monsters sealed inside the Rubik's Cube?
If possible, Annuo really wanted to twist the Rubik's Cube and release a monster to find out the truth.
Unfortunately, he can’t beat the seventh level!
If the contents were really released, the entire Iron Fortress would be in trouble.
"Master President!"
Kim came jogging from a distance and said to An Nuo, "There is something I want to discuss with you."
An Nuo looked at him puzzledly and asked, "What's the matter?"
Kim rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassedly: "It's like this, the Iron Fort is now empty of combat power, and it will take tens of thousands of dwarves a long time to rebuild the Iron Fort, so we want to issue a commission. We hope that you can stay in the Iron Fort for a while, and if you encounter a monster attack, you can help!"
Kim didn't know how long Anno planned to stay in the Iron Castle.
Although Sagunto will send troops to protect the Iron Fortress, they are currently the main force of the Dwarf Kingdom's border defense against the monster forces.
Not only do they need to detect the presence of monster troops nearby, they also need to help attacked cities like Iron Fortress, and even recapture lost strategic points.
The dwarves of the Iron Fort also wanted to relieve some pressure on Sagunto, and Annuo had the ability to do so.
Although the monsters plundered a large amount of wealth in the city, they were ultimately unable to take it away.
Therefore, Iron Fort still has a lot of money at the moment.
Therefore, when Austin and Ogsger learned that they could entrust Anno with the task, they immediately discussed with Kim and wanted the latter to talk to Anno.
Mithril-level mission—[Protect the Iron Fortress]!
Guarding the Iron Fort for one month, if no war occurs, the reward is one million gold coins.
If a war breaks out, the remuneration will be increased according to the actual situation.
Anno did not reject Kim.
First, we don’t know when we can find the book that the old woman mentioned.
Second, the dwarves gave too much. If there was no war, you could earn more than 30,000 gold coins just by sitting there for a day.
Third, the purpose of his coming to the Dwarf Kingdom was to purchase magic equipment, arm summons, and minimize the casualties of sixth-level summons on the battlefield.
Not all dwarves can create magical equipment, but the three major dwarf families in the Iron Castle have expertise that is just right for the job.
So Anno and Kim talked about it.
When Kim learned that Annuo wanted to custom-make thirty-five sets of standard intermediate magic suits, her eyes almost popped out of her head in surprise.
The intermediate magic set is not a cheap item, each component needs to be carefully forged.
Even for a master blacksmith among the dwarves, it would take about a month to forge a set of intermediate magic suits if all the materials were available.
Thirty-five sets would require a forging master to work non-stop for at least three years to complete.
There are only five forging masters of this level in Iron Fortress now.
And many of the materials used in forging are very expensive.
The cost of an ordinary mid-level magic set is more than one million gold coins.
Adding in additional costs such as labor, transportation, and maintenance, a set of intermediate magic equipment would easily cost 1.5 million gold coins.
But in the hands of a sixth-level professional, it is truly worth the price!
Even before the Iron Fort was destroyed, Annuo's business deal could have caused a sensation in the entire Iron Fort.
Because the total transaction amount is about 50 million gold coins.
This is a huge sum of money!
"this……"
Kim, who had been so confident at first, hesitated at this moment and said, "President, the Iron Fortress doesn't have so many mid-level magic equipment in stock now! If we forge them now, we have to consider the materials and time..."
It is true that many dwarves are good at making equipment, but this does not mean that every dwarf has a piece of magic equipment.
Kim now only has a mid-level magic weapon and two low-level magic equipment.
After the war, the Iron Fortress now has no more than twenty intact intermediate magic sets left.
But it is impossible for Iron Fortress to not leave any for itself.
"It's okay, you can take your time. I may need more orders in the future, so just treat it as a long-term deal!"
Anno mainly wanted to learn from Lord Alick and build a channel between himself and the dwarves.
After all, the number of summons will increase, and the quality will also improve.
Now is a time of war, and the prices of magic equipment on the market have increased by 30% to 40%.
Just because he saved the Iron Fort, Kim and his team would never ask for the market price when selling it to Anno.
Another reason why Annuo was not in a hurry was that he did not have the money to buy thirty-five sets.
Taking into account the 20 million gold coins that were extorted, Annuo can only buy a dozen sets at most.
