The mage arrives

The attraction of a secret energy core is much greater than those illusory treasures.

However, it is far from enough to have such a map as a preparation to enter Mount Weisula for exploration.The last time Gordon went to the Danzig ruins, he went after a long, patient and meticulous preparation and intelligence gathering.Moreover, the Danzig Ruins, as a well-known place in the northern part of Freyton and visited by a lot of adventurers, has abundant information and relatively simple preparations.

But the secrets of Vesula Mountain are not so widely known.After all, the location of the Haiwen Peninsula is too remote, and it is still in a semi-developed state.Few people know the secrets of Vesula Mountain, and even fewer people have entered Vesula Mountain.And because this mountain used to be the palace of the Great Elemental Emperor, the magic mechanism and defensive magic circle set up in it can't be compared with the general dungeon ruins at all.Among the people who have entered Mount Vesula, there are very few who can come out alive.

Therefore, due to these factors, intelligence information about Mount Weisula is very scarce, and it is difficult for Gordon to obtain it.Even Ioun, the God of Knowledge, has never entered the mountain himself.He just learned about the palace structure in Vesula Mountain through a certain legendary prophecy spell.

"The four-piece set of Destiny Jewelry, and the four elemental keys needed to enter the core area of ​​the Elemental Emperor's palace in Mount Vesula, are things you must get." Ioun concluded at the end.

He smiled at Gordon, as if to say "Senior... oh no, the gods can only help you so far".Then it disappeared without a trace.

When Gordon came back to his senses, he found himself lying in a warm bed, covered with a soft and light swan quilt.

But he knows.What happened yesterday, including Ioan's visit, was not a dream.The clear map of Mount Vesula on the floor was clearly in sight.

"After the remnants of the Aldridge family are wiped out, I should start preparing to enter the mountain." Gordon thought.

This matter is not difficult.The previous rule of the Aldridge family on the peninsula was based on tyrannical force and oppression, and the foundation was not solid.Now the backbone Abel Aldridge has died in that naval battle.And the two most talented children of the King of Haven.Also disappeared suddenly.The entire Aldrich family has no one who can preside over the overall situation.

Now the backbone of the entire Aldrich family has been completely wiped out by Gordon, and the rest.It's just a matter of slowly cleaning up the fallen leaves.

Coupled with the grassroots bureaucrats sent by the Phoenix family who are familiar with government affairs, the matter of accepting and reintegrating various industries of the Aldrich family is also proceeding steadily.

The thing Gordon spends the most time on government affairs every day is trying the list sent from Hernandez.

In the past, because of dissatisfaction with the rule of the king of Haiwen.deprived of property and liberty.The number of peninsula residents who became slaves was extremely large.Among these people, there are even some influential aboriginal tribe elders or patriarchs.Issuing an amnesty for these people and allowing them to regain their freedom can also help Gordon win the attachment and loyalty of more people and further consolidate his rule over the peninsula.

Gordon doesn't spend too much time dealing with these government affairs every day.He doesn't have a ruling class addiction but will most things.All were handed over to the subordinates for execution.After all, his original purpose of obtaining a territory was just to provide him with a material foundation on the path of arcane arts.He doesn't want to put the cart before the horse.Let the identity of the lord become a drag on his magic research.

However, in terms of government affairs, although everything is going well, it doesn't take too much time.However, Gordon not only spent a lot of time every day in preparing for the exploration of Mount Vesula, but also encountered a bottleneck and made little progress.

Asa Augustus has the title of "Emperor of Elements".He has a deep understanding and ability to use the four basic elements that make up the entire multiverse: wind, fire, water, and earth.As for the control and use of other arcane energies derived from basic elements, such as fire, cold, strong acid, and sound waves, they are still unmatched masters.

When he was building the palace in the floating city, he used the eight arcane energies as the theme to build eight fortresses to guard the palace.With the theme of four basic elements, four core palaces were built.

If Asa Augustus, the founding emperor of the Netherdulan Magic Empire, had any secrets hidden in Mount Vesula, it must be in these four elemental palaces.

To enter these four elemental palaces, one must have four elemental keys.

Gordon didn't know which elemental palace Miser could hide in, and he didn't know where the secret about Asaph Augustus' pursuit of becoming the "God of Destiny" and the information related to his life experience and origin was hidden. In a palace of elements.

If he wanted to know the truth and achieve his goal, he might have to explore all four elemental palaces thoroughly.But the problem is that now he only has one key of the fire attribute in his hand, which can only ensure entry into the palace of the fire element.

Apart from knowing that the key of the blue wind was in the hands of the Aikan people, Gordon knew nothing about the whereabouts of the other two keys.Moreover, even the key of the blue wind in the hands of the Aikan people is not easy to get.It was a sacred object of the Aikan people. As an "outsider", I was not qualified to borrow the key of the blue wind.

Perhaps with the passage of time, the Earl of Haiwen's rule over the peninsula has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he has been accepted by the Aikan people, and he is regarded as one of his own. When the time comes, he will borrow the key of the blue wind, and he may be able to obtain consent .But neither Gordon himself nor Mount Vesula could wait for that time.

As for the two options of robbing or stealing, Gordon is not yet considering it.

"It seems that I need to take some time to talk to that female druid lady, and see if I can find a compromise that both parties can accept. Let me temporarily borrow the key of the blue wind."

But the key of the blue wind is not bad, at least Gordon knows where the key is.As for the other two keys of earth element and water element, he was completely at a loss and couldn't get a handle on them.

But Gordon did not go all the way to black.When dealing with the evil spirit in Strindberg before, Gordon once told the female knight Sigrid that when solving things, sometimes changing the way of thinking may have miraculous effects.

So this time, Gordon is also going to use another idea to solve the problem of the element key.

"Since I can't find the original product, I'll make a counterfeit one myself. As long as it can be used and helps me enter the palace in Mount Vesula, it will be considered as achieving my goal."

This was Gordon's plan.

Others got these four elemental keys - this kind of antique from the period of the Netherdulan magic empire, a treasure related to the elemental emperor, I am afraid that they will be stored as treasures immediately, and then try their best to find its origin and uses.

Just like the Aikan people, they regard the key of the blue wind as a tribal sacred object that can control the climate and ensure a bumper harvest in the farmland.

As for Gordon, it is indeed inconceivable that he actually wanted to copy these elemental keys.

But Gordon had such a plan, not out of whimsy, but with his own assurance.

He has one from Nesser's time beside him, who can be regarded as a minion of the mobile database.Gordon believed that there must be a lot of information about elemental keys stored in Brian's body - such as the materials and production methods of these keys.

In addition, Gordon also has a magic laboratory built by the Nether Arcanist.In the eyes of many spellcasters today, the complex of buildings under the Sea Cliff Fort is like a holy place.Those sophisticated and efficient magic equipment with unheard of design, even the high-level mages of the magic circle, would be envious.

Gordon even felt that it would be too wasteful to monopolize such a powerful magic laboratory with his five-ring mage's arcane attainments.

With these powerful reliances, Gordon came up with the idea of ​​copying the element key.

After dealing with some government affairs in the morning, Gordon had lunch with the guests and then left with apologies.He called Brian, then came to the underground laboratory, and took out the fire element key he got from the Blackwater Swamp.

Brian manipulated his metal shell, and lifted the fire element key to the control room in his abdomen.Since there were no outsiders, Brian opened the belly metal plate of the armor so that he could see the appearance of the Fire Elemental Key with his own eyes.After all, compared with using the magic image projected by the crystal, with your own naked eyes, you can see more clearly and carefully.

After carefully looking at it for a while, the pink meat ball said: "Master, in the era of the Netherdulan Magic Empire, such elemental keys were not uncommon. They are made of the most common iron key." That’s all. But on the surface of the key, a very special layer is attached, which can absorb elemental energy, and it will not be exhausted for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.”

After knowing the details of the key, Gordon continued to ask: "What I want to know most is, with my current ability and equipment, can I make a substitute for this key? I need at least one earth element key And a water element key."

Brian raised two fleshy tentacles and said, "To make a substitute for this elemental key, master, you need high-purity gemstones rich in the energy of the corresponding element. Calculated based on today's prices, I guess it will take It will cost you at least forty thousand gold coins."

"Money, money, money...it's money again..." Gordon sighed secretly.He felt uncomfortable at the thought of having to pay a large chunk of his Earl's treasury.

"It seems that the matter of making money has to be put on the agenda. It's not okay to sit and eat like this. If it is always like this, a few projects that need to spend a lot of money pop up from time to time, and my little family can't stand the toss." (unfinished) to be continued..)
