Chapter 503 He is a genius at making money

In the Ryan Palace, Anger Watson once again came to this deserted place alone.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that every time I come here, Ryan’s palace is colder than before.

It should be a place covered by holy light, but I can't feel the warmth of the morning light.

"It's probably because too many royal family members died."

Angel Watson comforted himself in this way. Even if all the bodies were dealt with, there were still many rumors about the uncleanness of the palace. Too many people died, and even the holy light could not eliminate all the resentment at once.

But Angel Watson thinks this is a good thing.

The emperors of Ryan in recent years were all puppet-like breeding machines. Now this one is the real emperor. Ryan ruled by him is slowly recovering from the crisis of division.

Angel Watson is also very confident that if His Majesty is given more time, Ryan will be able to recover to his most glorious time.

Walking into the empty hall, the young emperor was still sitting alone on the throne, looking somewhat lonely. Seeing Anger Watson coming, the emperor put down the heavy ancient book in his hand.

Angel Watson couldn't help but take a look and saw the name "Introduction to the Prophecy Mage" on the cover.

Why did your majesty start reading this kind of magic book? The little emperor did not hide it, put the book down casually, and then said enthusiastically: "Ange, you are finally back, how is the situation on the island?"

Angel Watson reported quickly.

“Your Majesty, the construction of various facilities on the island has already begun. It is estimated that it will be completed in less than a month. This lich chose to hold a meeting two months later. I think he still has a conspiracy.

"I noticed traces of a large magic circle on the island, but I couldn't tell what type of magic circle it was. When I asked the lich, I was told that it was used to defend the venue and prevent conflicts. But I'm sure it's not as simple as he said."

The little emperor laughed.

"How could that lich be so simple? I am not surprised by this method. I am more concerned about other things. Ange, I heard that this lich is holding an auction on that island recently. What exactly is going on?"

Hearing the emperor ask this, Angel Watson became even more excited.

"Your Majesty, this auction was really exaggerated. Hundreds of millions of gold coins went into his pocket. I never thought that he really captured all the dragons overseas. Those high-level magic equipment have become hot commodities. This lich did it on purpose. He hopes to increase pressure on us."

Anger Watson was also a man of insight. If those high-level magic equipment were sent to the orcs, the fighting power of the orc legends would be significantly enhanced. Especially the "Red Wedding" specially made for the orcs. If this two-handed axe fell into the hands of the orc king, Anger Watson would really worry about whether he could defend the city.

Back then, the Silver Moon Knight could decide the outcome of a war by himself. Although the Orc King is not as good as the Silver Moon Knight, with this axe, he can exert a destructive power close to that of the Silver Moon Knight.

The little emperor didn't care about this, he just smiled and asked: "Tell me the truth, how much did it cost? I remember that before we set off, I approved a quota of 50 million gold coins for you."

Ange Watson lowered his head awkwardly and whispered, "Your Majesty...the 50 million gold coins..."

"Have you finished spending?"

Angel Watson nodded, but seemed to be hiding something.

The little emperor was immediately surprised and asked: "Not enough?"

Anger Watson knelt down and said apologetically, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I signed a loan of 40 million gold coins with the lich in the name of the Watson family. I did not use Ryan's wealth. This is to prevent the orcs from snatching this batch of magic equipment."

The little emperor's hands trembled. For the entire Ryan Empire, this amount of money was not much. But Ryan had been fighting wars everywhere in the past few years, and there had been many unnecessary losses, which had affected the economy. It was not to the point where people had to starve, but it was really heartbreaking to spend hundreds of millions in just a few days.

What's the point of borrowing money in the name of the Watson family? Even if James Watson sold himself, he couldn't get so much money. In the end, he had to ask the Ryan Empire to advance the money. Otherwise, this lich would dare to swallow up all the previous deposit and then give the equipment to the orcs anyway.

The little emperor rubbed his brows. If it was just a problem that needed to be solved with money, that would be fine. What he was most worried about was that there might be something else.

As soon as this thought came to mind, Ange Watson said, "Your Majesty, there is another small episode related to Ryan."

The little emperor's fingers were shaking. Isn't that enough? "Ange, you better say it all at once."

Angel Watson hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's like this. There's a damn dwarf vampire on the island who's signing his books, and the content inside is disgusting."

"A book signing?"

The little emperor was a little confused. Although it was strange for a vampire to sell books, what did this have to do with Ryan? Wait, a dwarf vampire? Why did this sound so strange?

"Your Majesty, that damn vampire was selling... taboo novels that fantasized about the Royal Family of Ryan, and he was selling them loudly in front of everyone. I had no choice but to spend money to buy all his books."

The little emperor closed his eyes in despair. It was a waste of money. What did the chaos of the Ryan royal family have to do with him? But he couldn't say this, and Anger Watson really couldn't ignore it.

"Forget it, don't pay attention to this slander." The little emperor changed the question: "Did all the kingdoms bleed heavily at the auction, or did we spend a lot of money alone?"

Angel Watson breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the emperor didn't mind his wasteful spending.

"Your Majesty, it's not just us. Even the druids of Emerald Dream Forest have suffered losses, and they were forced to do so."

The little emperor was stunned. Didn’t the lich invite other kingdoms to support him? Why did he cheat his guests?

"What's going on? What did the lich do?"

Angel Watson explained: "The lich found many special species from overseas, such as deep-sea piranhas, evil vultures and poisonous plants. He said he wanted to transplant them to the mainland and sell them to the Alchemy Association of the Dwarf Kingdom for research. The people of the Alchemy Association said on the spot that they wanted to domesticate and raise these species, and the druids became anxious.

"The Cuimeng Youlin Forest does not allow this kind of environmental damage to occur, so we have to pay a huge price to buy these alien species and then release them into the wild."

The little emperor could imagine the expressions of the great druids. The lich just caught some animals and plants from overseas. The Alchemy Association of the dwarves must have played along with him. They extorted a large sum of money from the druids for something that cost almost nothing... The little emperor couldn't help but sigh, "He's a genius at making money! I want to pry open his skull and study his soul!"

After being reminded by the mysterious man, the little emperor also thought that there was no essential conflict between him and the lich. He just wanted to make money. With Ryan's help, he would only make more.

It's time to have a good talk with this lich. Perhaps it would be a good idea to invite him to Ryan in advance to have a chat. Ryan can definitely offer him a price that will tempt him.

Just as he was thinking about how many days in advance he should meet the lich, Anger Watson reported again: "Your Majesty, please take a look at this. Our magic mirror has been successfully developed."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Angel Watson presented two palm-sized metal mirrors.

The little emperor quickly reached out to take one of them, and quickly found the familiar operation button. After turning it on, the two magic mirrors began to transmit images.

The sound and image are synchronized without any delay or blur.

The little emperor said excitedly: "It's exactly the same!"

Ange Watson was also excited and said: "Yes, there is no difference in function."

The little emperor stroked the two mirrors and asked, "Has the safety and confidentiality been tested?"

"According to the test, neither the magic mirror of the lich nor the magic mirror made by the Alchemy Association can communicate with each other. Moreover, they are not affected by remote control. In theory, they will not be discovered and cannot be remotely controlled."

This is the new magic mirror that Ryan's skilled craftsmen have spent a lot of time and energy researching. They did not hesitate to pay a huge sum of money, dismantled three magic mirrors to explore the principles inside, and secretly sent spies to the Alchemy Association to steal the magic mirror manufacturing technology.

The war allowed Ryan to unleash great power. These alchemists who were once ignored finally made a breakthrough under the blessing of the Holy Light and completely mastered the manufacturing method of the magic mirror.

This thing is so ingenious, yet so simple.

From then on, Ryan no longer had to worry about the lich shutting off all his access to the magic mirror. This magic mirror completely belonged to Ryan.

"Your Majesty, I have left some members of the delegation on the island in the name of security supervision. We can use this to contact them at any time."

"Well done, let me try."

The little emperor turned on the remote communication and soon saw a Ryan man appear on the mirror. The other party was about to kneel down to salute, but the little emperor said, "Don't move, don't make a sound, take the magic mirror and walk around the island. I want to see the traces of the magic circle on the island."

Those who were entrusted with important tasks by Angel Watson were not ordinary people, and they immediately understood the emperor's intention.

The mirror was covered with a layer of translucent gauze, making the image a little blurry, but it was still clear if you looked closely.

As his vision moved, the little emperor saw everything on the road.

There are bustling construction sites everywhere, magnificent exhibition stands, and magical patterns scattered all over the island.

The little emperor looked at it for a while and couldn't help frowning.

Why are the patterns of this magic circle so strange? It doesn't look like a current spell structure, but more like some kind of spell from ancient times.

Generally speaking, spell structures are constantly being optimized. For the same magical effect, modern spells will definitely save more mana and have better effects. Only those "forbidden spells" that are prohibited from research for various reasons will stop changing because no one has improved them.

What is this magic circle? The little emperor felt vaguely that he had seen it somewhere.

Perhaps, I can find it by checking the library of the Ryan royal family?
