Chapter 488 Taris

Under the dark night sky, the bonfire crackled, and the three people sat around the bonfire in strange silence.

After a long time, Alleria showed a wry smile: "Well, many of the questions I have always had have finally been answered... No wonder you haven't said it. This kind of thing is really hard to believe."

Olina nodded silently: "If you had told me before, I wouldn't have believed it."

If she hadn't been stimulated by Victor's death and Gilad's control, Olena would have definitely regarded Tang En's words as a joke.

Visitors from another world?

What a whimsical joke.

"Okay," Tang En clapped his hands, "The question has been answered, can you go back to sleep? At least now you can believe that I have the power to protect you, right?"

"No, I'm not sleepy yet. I still have many questions to ask you!"

Alleria became energetic now, or she found a way to divert her attention from her sadness. She asked enthusiastically: "What is your world like? By the way, it is the same as what was sold in the market before." Are the drawings in the comic books the same? At that time, I felt that those comic books and novels were very real, not like a fictional world at all. The content inside was too complete and self-consistent. What’s more, you were in the original In the world..."

Looking at the energetic Alleria, Tang En originally wanted Olina to persuade him, but he didn't expect that even Olina seemed to use this to divert her mood, looking at his bright eyes full of expectation and curiosity. .

Well, Dunn surrendered.

The hole you dug has to be filled with tears...

It was late at night, Alleria and Olena fell asleep. Tang En, who was drinking to himself, smiled helplessly.

"It's easy for you. You left me such a mess... They will definitely hate me in the future, and I guess it won't be easy for you either."

"What? A good opportunity to break the situation? You said it easily, but I really don't want to get involved in such a mess..."

"Hey, I suddenly discovered that Her Royal Highness the Queen is as young and beautiful as Her Royal Highness the Princess. Do you want me to take care of you too? Huh? Fall out with me? Be careful that I will find excuses to have drunken sex now..."

"Are you afraid? Then why don't you want me to tell them... OK, OK, if you want to deceive your enemies, you should first deceive your own people. I know this better than you. You are so cruel..."

"Drink? Save me, can you drink? Don't worry, I will protect the two of them. As for Gilad...it depends on fate."

The bonfire crackled, and the Soul Diamond with a faint light floated in front of Tang En. No one knew who he was talking to.

The next day, looking at the queen and princess sleeping soundly in the carriage, Tang En, who was driving the dragon carriage, couldn't help but shake his head.

You obviously said you were on your way, but you still kept talking until midnight. Are you sleepy now?

Fortunately, the dragon carriage was fast and steady, and the official road in this section was also very flat, so it would not affect their rest.

After driving peacefully for a day, a mountain appeared on the third, right side of the official road, that is, on the east side.

"It's the Winchester Fortress of the Kadir family, and next to it is the Winchester Mithril Mine."

Alleria stared at the mithril mine and said: "This place is adjacent to Taris, and the mithril veins of Gundar Mountain extend from there. The annual output of this mine is also very impressive, but it is a pity that it was stuck early. The Deere family is in control.”

Letting the dragon car run quickly, Tang En rubbed his chin and suddenly showed a bad smile: "How about I go and cause some trouble for them?"

Olina shook her head and whispered: "It's better not to do it. If something happens to the Winchester Mine, the nearby sentries will definitely be under martial law, which will affect our speed when we pass by at night."

"All right."

Tang En gave up that tempting idea with great regret, but if he thought about it from another angle, if he ruined this place now and overthrew the Kadir family, it would be more troublesome for him to take over.

Tang En shrugged and thought it was for his own convenience to let them go.

That night, the dragon cart successfully passed through the mine's defensive border and officially entered Taris' territory.

Tang En had previously deduced that the approximate volume of the planet Purandar was larger than that of the Earth. Therefore, although they had traveled several hundred kilometers north, there was basically no big difference between the climates of Taris and Yalinks. The earth-yellow planet Gray-white stones can be seen everywhere on the ground, and the distant ridges are covered with evergreen coniferous forests, bringing some greenery to the newly rejuvenated land.

After entering the Taris Territory, the density of villages and towns has obviously increased a lot. I passed four villages and towns in one morning. This is almost unimaginable from Ellington - leaving the settlement area, the Ladia Hills area It is often deserted for several days.

I don’t know if it’s because the new king has been crowned and Lord Nitro has not sworn allegiance yet, but the residents of Taris Territory are obviously a little uneasy. People in several villages and towns are panicked, and even the guards on guard are absent-minded. .

Perhaps, they are also waiting for Lord Nitro's final decision.

If Lord Nitro really means that, none of them will be spared, and they will all go to the battlefield and fight with their original compatriots.

Is there anything more tragic than fighting with the same kind?

However, even if they are reluctant, they have no choice, because they are soldiers, the property of the lord, and the sword of the lord.

After leaving another village, Alleria looked sad: "They are all worried about the war."

"Girard... no, the person who controls him needs this effect."

Tang En, who was driving the dragon chariot, paused and said: "When people's mutual suspicion, suspicion, and uneasiness accumulate to a certain level, a war breaks out... If his methods are more ruthless, he may not even need these to trigger a war. ”

"Girard, if it were my son, he wouldn't do this..."

"No, you're wrong."

Tang En shook his head: "Girard's strength is not weak. It is difficult to completely control his mind with a strength close to legendary level."

"But that person..."

"The easiest way to control a person is to comply with his desires."

Watching so many movies and TV shows on the earth is not for nothing. Tang En said: "Everyone has dark desires in his heart. As long as this darkness is magnified and the bright side is obscured, he will make his own move without anyone else pushing him." The choice that is most beneficial to him, and for Gilad, being crowned king is obviously one of his pursuits, so he will kill Victor under control."

"And what does an emperor, or the emperor of a kingdom that was once glorious but now in decline, want to do most?"

Alleria blurted out: "Restore the glory of the empire."

"That's right."

Tang En turned his head and smiled, and continued: "There is only one way to restore the glory of an empire, and that is war. Whether it is to expand territory or to recover the territory that was once divided, war is needed, so Gilad needs war."

"The man who controlled him also wanted war, and that's why he sought out Gilad."

Alleria and Olena were silent, because Tang En was right. Being crowned king, using war to prove oneself, and restoring the glory of the empire were Gilad's dreams since childhood.

Now, he's just one step away from his childhood dream: starting a war.

And this is what Tang En is worried about.

Although the technology on the earth always advances by leaps and bounds along with war, in Purandal, the peaceful environment is more suitable for him to catalyze the development of magic technology.

What's more, the more casualties there are, the less conducive it will be for him to complete his mission.

They were speechless all the way. Whether they were bandits blocking the way or attacking monsters, Tang En killed them all without saying a word, without stopping for a step.

He doesn't have that American time to waste here.

After running wildly for two days, they finally arrived at Taris.

Taris is a very spectacular and huge city. It is built on the mountains. The entire city stands on the mountainside of Gundar Mountain. The city is firmly protected behind by a hundred-meter-high city wall. The highest point of the city The height difference from the lowest point is nearly a kilometer. The pointed castle is like a sharp sword, echoing the top of Gundar Mountain, piercing the sky.

This great city was born under the power of magicians. It had been standing here long before the birth of the Illus Empire. At that time, magicians had not yet unified, and they utilized the power of a large number of magicians. With the help of thousands of stonemasons, carpenters and other craftsmen, this city was born and became a symbol standing on Mount Gundar.

Gundar Mountain is also one of the largest composite mineral veins in Taris Territory. Behind Taris, there is a mine that works day and night. Tens of thousands of miners are busy in it, digging various ores, as well as expensive minerals. The associated mine - mithril.

The main reason for the rare production of mithril is that it is an associated ore. Pure mithril is very rare and difficult to refine. The content in associated ores is very small, so it is expensive.

In Purandar, a world dominated by magical energy, mithril has a wide range of uses. Its excellent magic affinity makes it one of the best materials for enchanting. Adding a small amount of mithril to a weapon will make the weapon more effective. The performance has been greatly improved, and the success rate and effect of enchantment have been greatly improved.

Coupled with the superior magic power conductivity, when the Apocalypse uses magic power, Mithril can conduct magic power with almost no loss. In addition, the price is not as expensive as Arcanum. These excellent characteristics are concentrated together, so Mithril Silver has become one of the best choices for the Apocalypse.

Many adventurers would be happy to spend all their money on a mithril weapon crafted by a dwarf.

Perhaps due to the influence of Yalinx, the current climate in Taris is also very tense. A large number of outsiders are flocking to Taris. Most of them are residents of the Taris Territory. They are worried about the outbreak of war and come to Taris. Seeking asylum.

The guards guarding the city all had serious faces, and everyone entering the city was strictly investigated one by one. Anyone with unknown origins would be taken away on the spot.

"Does it need to be so exaggerated?"

Alleria in the dragon carriage frowned: "Grandpa Nitro has not expressed his stance yet, that is, he has not become an enemy yet. If he shows hostility to the visitors at this time, he will be misunderstood by Gilad, right?"

Tang En nodded slightly: "This is good news for us."

The long team moved forward slowly. It took more than two hours before Tang En and the others arrived at the city gate.

"Who are you? Where do you come from? What brought you to Taris?"

The guards nearby had already noticed this dragon carriage. They could get the dragon in Illrus. The people in the carriage were obviously not ordinary people, but the carriage looked very simple, and there was no clan emblem, which was contradictory. The situation made them unsure of the identity of the person inside.
