Chapter 130 The Prosperity of Sandstone Town
Seeing this, Hela seemed to have thought of something, and her expression became somewhat strange.
Loris noticed her odd expression. "Hela, what's with that look?"
Hela hesitated for a moment, then finally just shook her head. "No...it's nothing."
"I'll keep the dragon egg with you for now and raise it for you," Loren said.
Loris reluctantly handed the dragon egg back to Loren.
Why don't you sign the contract yourself?
Loren raised an eyebrow. "That's none of your business."
Just thinking about Hela makes me angry.
She angrily rebuked, "That guy already bought a dragon egg from me for only 350,000 gold coins! How despicable!"
Loris was shocked. "When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"
"It's that monster egg I mentioned to you before!"
Loris thought back and realized that Hela did seem to have mentioned it.
So Loren already had the dragon egg back then?
Loris looked at Loren with a hint of resentment in her eyes.
This is so important, and Loren didn't even tell her!
It's obvious they don't trust her!
However, Loren was not as strong as her at that time. If she had known, she would definitely have rushed to sign the contract.
Therefore, Loren's actions are quite normal.
Moreover, he has now gifted himself a dragon egg.
If she weren't Loren's own sister, she would definitely have offered herself to him.
As for the third dragon egg, Loren doesn't yet know who to give it to.
With Bai Xi's strength, she doesn't need to contract a dragon egg.
Loren decided to raise it for now, and if necessary, keep it as part of his contract.
Then, he talked to Loris about the future development direction of the Earl's territory.
The main focus is on the construction of high-rise buildings.
Building high-rise buildings requires a lot of metal and stone, and also requires advance house design.
The stability of a building is easy to solve; simply by drawing the corresponding magical model, the building can become quite sturdy.
In addition, Loren also plans to open driving license tests in the Mirror World.
Teach the residents of the Elven Earl's Territory to use the magic-powered vehicle.
The magic-powered vehicle is faster than a horse-drawn carriage.
With instruction provided, the operation is not difficult.
Once you learn how to use the Magic Car, you can start offering food delivery services.
The Mirror World could easily become a food delivery platform.
Nobles participating in the mirror experience can use virtual currency to purchase food from their favorite shops before the experience ends, and then have it delivered to their door by staff.
The same principle applies to courier services.
As more and more people learn to use the magic-powered vehicles, food delivery and courier services have gradually begun to be offered in the Elf Earl's territory.
As magic-powered vehicles become more widespread, the consumption of magic-storing stones gradually increases.
Fortunately, Loren obtained a lot of Sea Magic Stones from the Ocean City, and also purchased a large number of Wind Spirit Stones from passing caravans.
Loren needed these elemental crystals for his cultivation.
After completing the training, you will be able to obtain a lot of magic-accumulating stones.
Soon, another problem emerged.
Loren's productivity as an individual is limited.
Only he and Xuefu can create the sorcery model, but they can't possibly spend all their time on it.
To resolve this issue, Loren had no choice but to contact the wizards of the Magic Guild for a deal.
Through the mirror world, he posted a request in the Magic Guild, asking guild members to help him create a power unit for the magic-powered vehicle.
Although transportation takes a lot of time, it at least solves the productivity problem.
Three peaceful months passed.
Aside from the sprite insects, Loren paid no attention to any other information.
His most important task now is to focus on cultivation and improve his strength.
After obtaining the second divine essence, his cultivation speed became even more astonishing.
In just three months, he had cultivated his Gale Battle Qi, Water Battle Qi, and Frost Battle Qi to the middle level of Earth.
The Wind Spirit Stones bought from the caravan, the Sea Demon Stones obtained through trade with the Sea Queen, and the Ice Crystals acquired from the Ice and Snow Empire.
These are all crucial consumables for cultivation.
Only Loren, with its deep pockets, could afford such a drain.
In April, Lilu mustered her courage and came from the human continent to the elven count's territory.
Without the mirror world, she would never have dared to be so bold.
To travel from the human continent to the elven kingdom, one must traverse the entire sea-dwelling territory.
She was just a proper wizard, how could she dare to run around like Celia?
However, the existence of the mirror world not only provides her with direction, but also allows Loren to plan a safe route for her.
Li Lu's trip went smoothly without any obstacles.
Upon arriving in the Elven Earl's Territory, Lilu was taken aback by the local prosperity.
Countless skyscrapers, bustling crowds, and orderly traffic—it's completely different from the human continent.
The development of the magical continent is so outstanding?
"Miss, please use the sidewalk."
Lilu was stopped by a knight and was taken aback when she heard this.
sidewalk?
What do you mean?
"The road you are on now is specifically built for magic-powered vehicles or carriages. It may be dangerous for pedestrians to step onto the carriage road."
This was the first time Li Lu had ever heard of such a claim.
How fast can a horse-drawn carriage go?
How could a pedestrian not avoid it?
Just as she had this thought, she saw a magic-powered vehicle speeding past.
What was that just now?
The car seemed to carry a magical aura, very similar to the magical energy device she brought...
Could that be the magic car the knight was talking about?
Isn't that a bit too fast?
Even faster than many apprentice wizards.
But the people sitting in the car were clearly ordinary people!
She had been wondering what the purpose of the magical device Loren had asked her to make was, but now she finally understood.
But how exactly is the Magic Car made?
Filled with curiosity, Li Lu headed to Sandstone Town.
The town of Sandstone is equally prosperous, and there are even more magical vehicles coming and going.
The magic vehicle is like an alchemical tool that ordinary people can use; it's convenient and efficient, which is why Lilu was shocked.
Wizards always only think of themselves and never care about ordinary people.
This may be related to Loren's identity.
I heard he is the lord of this sandstone town, so he must be a nobleman of high status.
A qualified lord will naturally take into account the living conditions of the residents of his territory.
Lilu came to visit, and Loren and Xuefu went out to greet her.
Her main purpose in coming to Sandstone Town was to deliver the first batch of magical devices to Loren.
A full 3000 sets.
"Here are 3000 sets of magic energy devices, as well as gold coins obtained from selling Reincarnation Keys."
In three months, the Reincarnation Key sold for hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
After deducting the Reincarnation Guild's cut and the commission for making the magic energy device, there is still some left.
"Miss Lilu, thank you for your hard work."
Li Lu traveled a long way from the human continent, enduring a long and arduous journey.
Loren arranged a room for her and took her to sample the local delicacies in Sandstone Town.
Li Lu kept exclaiming in amazement, "I never imagined your town had so many delicious foods, much more abundant than Baicheng! Is the entire Magic Continent this developed?"
"Of course not, this is a unique feature of Shashi Town."
Other territories within the Elven Earl's domain are also developing culinary traditions.
But Sandstone Town remains the most popular.
"That's great. If it weren't for the work I still have at the guild, I wouldn't want to go back."
Of course, Li Lu wasn't reluctant to give up her work.
She just didn't want to be separated from her friends in the guild. She'd heard the magic guild had been established for hundreds of years.
Despite her young age, which makes her look like a teenage girl, Lilu has been a wizard and a member of the guild for several years.
"Sandstone Town welcomes you and members of the Magic Guild at any time."
Li Lu sighed regretfully, "It's a pity that the distance is too far; a round trip would take at least two months."
Otherwise, Li Lu would definitely visit Shashi Town often.
Loren recalled something.
When that legendary adventure team escaped, they used a teleportation scroll.
On their first teleportation, they moved from Sandstone Town to Coastal Town.
The second time it was used, it was used to return directly from the coastal town to the human mainland.
If we had a teleportation scroll, wouldn't we be able to travel freely between the two continents?
"Miss Lilu, do you know what a teleportation scroll is?"
"Teleportation scroll? Of course I know. Teleportation scrolls are extremely precious. Generally, only wizards with exceptionally high strength possess such valuable consumables."
"So how are teleportation scrolls made?"
Loren conceived the idea of creating teleportation scrolls.
If we could mass-produce them, regardless of how much money we could make, it would definitely make long-distance exploration trips much easier in the future.
"Teleportation scrolls require spatial power, which is an extremely rare power."
The power of space has many uses.
Besides teleportation scrolls, you can also craft storage rings.
These are all very precious props.
After chatting for a while, Lilu stayed in Sandstone Town for more than half a month before reluctantly leaving.
Before leaving, Loren gave her a new set of reincarnation keys.
Lu Li said, "Recently, many people have been asking how to top up virtual currency. What should I do?"
After thinking it over carefully, Loren directly deposited one billion coins into Lilu's account.
In any case, these cryptocurrencies are just a matter of a thought for him.
"If someone tops up their account, you can trade directly through the Mirror World. You can use the remaining currency as you see fit, just don't transfer it to other people casually."
One billion virtual currency is enough for Lilu to sell for a long time.
Loren believed that Lilu wouldn't do anything reckless.
Li Lu was stunned when she saw so much money suddenly appear in her virtual account.
"Loren, do you need another wife? I can be your mistress... no, I should say your fifth mistress."
Loren smiled faintly but did not answer.
This is clearly a joke.
After seeing Li Lu off, Loren continued his daily cultivation routine.
A few days later, a familiar caravan passed through Shashi Town.
Triss drove the carriage and looked up at the tall buildings all around.
Is this still the Sandstone Town he knows?
Although Shashi Town was already very prosperous last year, it wasn't this exaggerated.
With countless high-rise buildings and villas, Sandstone Town looks even more luxurious than the royal city of the Elf Kingdom.
The carriage moved slowly, and a magical vehicle sped past.
Triss was startled.
What was that thing just now?
It just flew by in a flash?
Triss went to visit Sandstone Castle, completely bewildered.
Many caravans are passing through Shashi Town now, and Loren cannot possibly receive them all.
But for old acquaintances like Triss, he still had to go out to greet them.
"Your Excellency Triss, welcome."
"My Lord Count."
Triss bowed respectfully.
Loren's status is different now, but he is still a small businessman.
"My lord, what's the situation with your territory? How did it become like this?"
Triss voiced the question that had been lingering in her mind.
"how do you feel?"
Triss exclaimed, "This is truly amazing! Even the royal city isn't this prosperous!"
"Your Excellency Triss is too kind. Please come in and have a seat."
Triss followed Loren into the castle.
The sandcastle remains unchanged from before.
Triss continued, "Your Excellency, on the way here I saw many small carriages that were going very fast. What were they?"
"That's a magic-powered vehicle, a mode of transportation powered by magic."
"Magic? But I've seen many people in Sandstone Town driving magic-powered vehicles. Do all of them know magic?"
Loren shook his head. "It's like a magical artifact; ordinary people can use it too."
Triss was increasingly shocked.
The magic-powered vehicle was extremely fast, even faster than a galloping horse.
Is it really reasonable for an ordinary person to possess such speed?
Triss could not even imagine the world of wizards.
It's even more unimaginable that ordinary people could possess the abilities of wizards.
"I've never seen a similar vehicle in any other territory, so the magic-powered vehicle was invented by the Earl?"
"That's right, it's currently only prevalent in the Elven Earl's Territory."
The number of magic-powered vehicles is still too small, and a driver's license is required, so only residents of the Elven Earl's Territory are eligible to purchase them.
Triss sensed a business opportunity. "At what price is Your Excellency willing to sell?"
Loren shook his head. "I don't plan to sell the magic-powered vehicle for the time being. After all, it's not easy for ordinary people to drive a magic-powered vehicle. They still need to be taught to ensure safety."
Furthermore, other territories have not established roads for magic vehicles, which could easily lead to danger.
Triss was somewhat disappointed.
Loren patted him on the shoulder. "Don't be discouraged. There are many good things in Sandstone Town. Hopefully, you have prepared enough gold coins."
"Oh? Please speak, Your Excellency."
The first, of course, is the reincarnation key.
Whenever a caravan passed by, Loren would take out a batch of reincarnation keys and have them take the keys to all parts of the world.
Triss had long heard of the key to reincarnation.
Many territories of the Elf Kingdom are promoting the Mirror World.
"So the key to reincarnation was passed down from you!"
Loren sold many keys to Tris at a price of 350 gold coins each.
The market price of the Reincarnation Key is 400 gold coins.
With sales so brisk right now, prices are only going up, not down.
Triss is a good person, and Loren doesn't mind letting him earn a little more.
"Thank you Lord Lord!"
Triss expressed her gratitude excitedly.
Besides these keys.
Loren has cultivated many new magical plants.
The magical plant is extremely valuable, so its price is naturally not low.
Normally, Loren would never sell these magical plants.
Because magical plants are key to the evolution of elves, they will promote the development of other territories in the elf kingdom.
But it's different now.
Loren's vision has broadened slightly compared to before.
He thought to himself that he would win over the Elf Queen sooner or later.
Then the Elf Kingdom will become his kingdom.
The better his other territories develop, the better it will be for him.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, no matter how the other territories of the Elf Kingdom develop, they will never be able to catch up with the Elf Earl's Territory.
The world reflected in the mirror is an insurmountable wall.
