Chapter 422 Legendary Staff

This battle lasted for several days, and eventually killed more than 1,800 ogres.

The skin of ogres can be made into enchanted armor, and the brain can be refined into deep meditation potions. There is a high probability that the magic core can be dug out of the awakened bloodline ogres. Killing more than 1,800 ogres can make at least 3,000 pieces of enchanted armor, and the value of 3,000 pieces of enchanted armor is more than one million gold coins. Moreover, even if Richard had gold coins, there would not be so many enchanted armors on the market around the Grant Kingdom to sell to Harland.

Harland can only produce a small amount of super magic metal every year, and it needs to take out a part of it to produce other weapons such as magic crystal cannons. The metal enchanted armor that can be manufactured in a year is only 500 to 600 pieces.

Harland can accumulate 20,000 pieces of enchanted armor, in addition to war spoils, mainly relying on hunting monsters and pulling off snake-bodied human scales.

The ability to add three thousand pieces of ogre skin armor at a time will greatly help improve the combat effectiveness of Harland's army.

Moreover, these ogres have different professional levels. The skin of high-level ogres can be made into fifth-level enchanted armor, and the thick skin of the legendary ogre Gresso can be made into ninth-level enchanted armor. Although the enchanted armor made of ogre skin has a bad smell, the soldiers of Harland are strong and simple in character. As long as the defense is good, they don't care about this shortcoming.

After cleaning the battlefield, Richard cut off the head of the legendary ogre Gresso and prepared to hang it on the wall of Fort William to show off his martial arts.

The legendary head is the best collection of the Harland family.

Although the Harland family has been prosperous for a short time, it has killed four legends. They are the legendary first-level dragon vein dog-headed man Kiram, the legendary first-level knight Pilosa, the legendary second-level knight Mark Dean, and the legendary first-level ogre magician Gresso.

In terms of legendary status, Richard is a few points higher than the first Grand Duke of the Jonathan family, the Dragon Knight Nicholas Jonathan.

Nicholas, the first Grand Duke of the Jonathan family, only killed three legendary professionals, and Richard has not yet been promoted to a legend, but he has surpassed the famous dragon man Nicholas Jonathan.

If the legendary undead who fell in his hands are counted, there are already six legends who died in the hands of Harland, and the legendary bone dragon and legendary ghost must be added. Although killing the legendary ghost was a complete waste, Harland played almost no role.

Killing the legendary ogre magician Greso, the fierce reputation of Harland is enough to deter the surrounding areas.

Back then, the pillar of the Grant family, Brena, only killed two legends, but he had protected the Grant Kingdom for more than a hundred years.

Now Richard's personal strength may be slightly worse than Brena, but his fierce reputation to the outside world exceeds that of the Duke of Brena. After all, Duke Brena did not kill a legend a year like Richard, as if he was killing chickens and dogs, which seemed very easy.

After killing the legendary ogre magician, Richard led his troops back to Fort William. The members of the Harland Mage Association began to get busy. Sophia led the pharmacist to make potions as soon as possible, and Undine led the alchemist to make enchanted armor.

Some of the magic cores dug out from the ogre's body were temporarily stored inside the Mage Tower.

Among these magic cores, the legendary first-level magic core dug out from Gresso's body has the highest value. It can not only be used to make artificial magic wells, but also provide energy for legendary magic props.

There are now many magic wells in the Harland Territory. There are four large magic towers with magic wells alone. The Starlight Mage Tower inside the Snow Crystal Lake also has a large magic well. Even if the Harland Mage Association develops for hundreds of years, there will be no pain of lack of magic.

In addition, there are two small natural magic wells in the ogre's nest and the Dragon Canyon plane channel. Although the Princess Tomb is occupied by outsiders, it is also inside the Harland Territory. Richard's heart is still inclined to refine legendary treasures for the legendary magic core on Gresso's body.

In addition to the legendary magic core, this battle killed a large number of high-level ogres and dug out more than 30 high-level magic cores. Richard was going to collect materials and refine these magic cores into steel golems, increasing the number of steel golems to 50.

Although the steel golems have shortcomings, they can make up for the shortcomings of Harland's army. If there were no steel golems in this battle, the casualties of Harland's soldiers would probably increase several times. Only with about 2,000 to 3,000 casualties can it be possible to defeat the ogre army.

After the magic crystal cannon was successfully manufactured, Harland's long-range attack power was very strong, but the number of high-level professionals was small, and the melee power was slightly weaker. Refining more steel golems can make up for the shortcomings of Harland's army and increase its foundation.

With 50 steel golems to resist the opponent, the combat effectiveness of Harland will be greatly improved.

There is also a space magic prop hanging on Greso's neck. This space magic prop looks like a pearl, which should be a treasure bred by legendary creatures in the ocean. The space inside the pearl is larger than the legendary space bag in Undine's hand. Richard penetrated his mental power into it and found that the internal space was spherical, with a diameter of about seven meters and a volume of about 180 cubic meters.

A large amount of food is stored in the space gem, a large part of which should be human flesh. It is rumored that ogre magicians like to eat human brains, which seems to be true. Because Richard saw a lot of old people's heads frozen by spells in it, which should be food prepared for Greso.

These messy meats were discarded by Richard on the battlefield and became food for crows and wild beasts. The human heads were picked out and buried in pits to give the dead a place to belong.

In addition to food, the space orb also contains some magic materials, including the Meditation Method No. 4 and some spells mastered by Gresso.

The level of ogre magic is very general, far less than that of the Harland Mage Association.

The most precious Meditation Method No. 4 has been collected by Harland for many years. Although this part is priceless to the small nobles, it is basically useless to Harland. It can only increase a little thinking and knowledge.

Richard picked and chose in the space orb and found more than 20 kinds of magic plants. These magic plants are not low in level, basically above the middle level, and can be sold for tens of thousands of gold coins in total.

The most precious in the space orb are three magic wands. These three magic wands are natural legendary treasures like the lightning wand that Richard seized from Gresso's son.

Among them, the white wooden wand should be the heart of the tree of life, named the life wand. When releasing life-type spells, the power will double and the consumption will be reduced by about half.

The red staff is a natural fire crystal, called the Flame Staff. It has the same effect as the Thunder Staff. When used, it can increase the power of fire spells by one third and reduce consumption by half.

The green staff should be a branch of the World Tree, with some branches and leaves growing on it, which is very helpful for releasing wood spells. The power of wood spells can be increased by 70% and the consumption can be reduced by about half.

These three staffs, like the Thunder Staff, are very simple in shape. They should be things left over from the early development of wizard civilization. According to Richard's estimation, the history should be about tens of thousands of years.

Because only in the early days of wizard civilization, when the extraordinary resources of the Dawn Plane were extremely abundant, would the staff be made of natural legendary treasures.

In the late wizard civilization, it was impossible to dig out the heart of the Tree of Life and make such a simple legendary staff, because it was a complete waste of natural resources.

Because the three staffs use different materials, the Life Staff has the best effect, followed by the World Staff, and the Flame Staff and the Thunder Staff are the next.

Richard used the three legendary staffs to release spells several times, and figured out the power of the three legendary staffs. He thought to himself: "Fortunately, the legendary ogre had bad luck and encountered the southern army first, and was hit by Sofia's starlight bomb, which consumed 80% of his magic power. If he had encountered the northern army first, with the help of these three legendary staffs, I am afraid that Eve and I would not be the opponent together."

Richard took the three legendary staffs from the space orb, and gave the staff of life to Wendy, who had the best adaptability. Wendy was a half-elf and was very suitable for using this treasure.

The world staff was given to Sofia, and he took the flame staff.

In addition, because Sofia did not have legendary space equipment, the space orb seized this time was given to Sofia, and the large space bag in Sofia's hand was handed over to Wendy.

Although the Harland Mage Association does not have a legendary wizard now, it has mastered four legendary staffs, three legendary space equipment, and the starlight necklace, and its foundation is far beyond that of the large magic organization of Markholm.

Generally speaking, a large magic organization in Markholm only has one legendary wizard, more than a thousand members, three or four hundred formal wizards, two to three legendary magic props, a small magic well, and a set of legendary magic inheritance. Compared with the Mage Association of Harland Territory, it has slightly more people and a legendary wizard in charge, but the external conditions are actually far inferior to those of Harland Territory.

After returning to Fort William, Richard's family became busy. In the next period of time, Richard either helped Undine to refine enchanted armor or helped Sofia to refine potions.

It was not until late July that they could finally relax.

During this period of time, Undine and Richard joined forces to successfully create ten fifth-level enchanted leather armors and two ninth-level enchanted leather armors. They also took advantage of this time to urgently bring out several apprentices.

Now the Harland Mage Association has trained nine qualified alchemists. With these people as a foundation, Richard and Undine no longer need to refine low-level alchemy items. Undine plans to refine the remaining high-level ogre skins in a year, and refine them in four or five years. After all, Undine also needs to meditate and do magic research. It is impossible for her to waste her time all year round to refine enchanted armor.

On the last day of July, the autumn rain continued. Richard walked in the fields outside the No. 3 military station, looking far into the distance.

Harland Territory is not far from the coastal areas, especially the Grotta Province, with an annual rainfall of about 1,600 mm. Once it rains for several consecutive days, floods are extremely frequent.

Even the built roads become bumpy and difficult to walk after being soaked by rain, but for high-level professionals like Richard, walking on such roads is very simple. Because professionals have strong physical fitness and balance ability, Richard walked ten kilometers north from the No. 3 castle without his leather boots being wetted by the accumulated water.

The Grotta Province is not large, about 90,000 square kilometers, with a population of more than 600,000. The territory in the northeast of the province mainly belongs to hereditary vassals, with an area of ​​about 36,000.

Sixty kilometers east of Castle No. 3 is the fief of Viscount Sutton. Now the fief of Sutton and Sylph together has an area of ​​28,000 square kilometers, which is slightly larger than the territory of Earl William.

Behind Richard, there were many civil servants. Their professional ranks were generally not high. Their boots and pants were covered with mud. They followed Richard in a mess.

"The Tara Reservoir must be opened to release the floodwater immediately. We must not let the floodwaters destroy the Buren Coal Mine."

The area near Castle No. 3 is all plains on both sides of the Samba River. There is a Tara River nearby, which originates from the snow-capped mountains of the Eagle Mountains. The Buren Coal Mine is located in the lower reaches of the Tara River, and the terrain is slightly lower than that near Castle No. 3.

"But now the floodwaters are released, and the farmland near Castle No. 3 will be submerged. It has only been three years since we reclaimed more than 100,000 acres of farmland, and the production has finally increased. If the floods are submerged, how can I explain it?"

The head of Tara County had an ugly face and raised objections. Richard pointed to the map and said, "Now we have only two choices, to protect the coal mine or the farmland? The Burren Coal Mine is the largest open-pit coal mine discovered in the territory. Although this year is only the first year of mining, the annual output is close to 200,000 tons, and the output value has exceeded all the farmland reclaimed in Tara County.

Even if the flood submerges Tara County, we must give priority to protecting the production of the coal mine. You officials of Tara County should have a global perspective. Now is not the time for you to bargain.

If the floodgates are opened to flood the farmland in Tara County, the territory will be tax-free for one year and will also distribute relief food. In short, we will not let everyone starve to death. This year we have suffered a disaster, and the current situation can only make everyone suffer for another year."

This year, there has been a lot of rain in Harland Territory, especially since the beginning of autumn. The East Coast Province, Grota Province, Eagle Province, and Central Bank Province have all suffered floods. Only the Black River Province and Vera Province are in a better situation.

Fortunately, the summer harvest has ended, and there is less rain in spring and summer. Although the production has been slightly reduced due to drought, Harland Territory has no shortage of food this year.

The East Coast Province is basically uninhabited. Although this province is the worst hit by floods, it does not affect the development of Harland.

The Central Bank Province is very rich and has invested heavily in water conservancy. It has been developed for more than 20 years and built a large number of reservoirs, so the degree of disaster is relatively light.

The worst hit is Grotta Province. Judging from the weather this year, autumn grain production will inevitably decrease on a large scale.

Although the territory has suffered a large-scale flood, Harland's ability to resist risks is also extraordinary.

Today, Harland has a total of 780,000 square kilometers of land, 1,200 kilometers from east to west, 800 kilometers from north to south, and 500 kilometers at the narrowest point.

Grotta and Eagle Provinces suffered serious disasters, while Vera and Black River Provinces were considered average years.

Last year, Vera Province's grain production dropped significantly due to the war. This year, Harland has not suffered from the war and agricultural production has resumed. Vera Province has a large number of cultivated fields developed by Duke Edward and Duke Fox. The grain output during the summer harvest exceeds 600,000 tons, and the province has a population of 1.4 million. There is no way to eat up all the food. We can support other provinces with 200,000 tons and feed nearly one million people.

With the powerful rear of Vera Province, Richard is not worried about the shortage of food in the territory.

Moreover, Black River Province is also a rich place, but its area is much smaller than Vera Province, and its population is larger than Vera Province. It can also squeeze out more than 100,000 tons of food to help other provinces.

Because the Central Bank Province occupies a large amount of arable land due to industry and commerce, the food is barely self-sufficient. This year, only Grota and Eagle Provinces with a population of one million need to eat relief food. Although the burden is heavy, Richard feels that it can still be borne.
