Earning money was a troublesome matter for most people. However, for someone like Liang Lidong, it was not a difficult matter.
Faced with Emma's question, Liang Lidong only smiled and didn't answer. Emma puffed up her cheeks and ran away.
Another day passed, and Liang Lidong and the others gathered at the back of the mountain. Kail had already memorized his family's Bloodline Magic and learned the first Bloodline Magic, Burning Blade.
It was a special support magic that focused a light blue flame on the longsword, making the longsword more powerful. However, there was a very bad drawback, and that was that the temperature of the blue flames was too high. Ordinary weapons would melt into molten iron in a short two minutes.
"The Hero's Bloodline Magic can only be fully unleashed with the Hero's Legacy Equipment," Emma explained.
Emma couldn't see through Liang Lidong anymore. The Hero's Bloodline ability could only be activated under strong mental stimulation, such as when a family member was in danger. However, a strange Knight's conferment actually allowed Kail to use the Hero's first Bloodline Magic. That didn't make sense at all.
In fact, this was caused by a difference in ideology. Players, especially Warlock players, were very clear that no matter what bloodline it was, there were two ways to activate it. One was through special missions, or through the stimulation of special items. This was an external stimulation method.
The other was through leveling up. As long as one reached the level and attributes, the bloodline would naturally be purified and activated. If level five wasn't enough, then level ten. If level ten wasn't enough, then level twenty. As long as one reached the Demigod level, any bloodline wouldn't appear!
This was Kail's situation. The reason why he couldn't learn Bloodline Magic was that his attributes weren't up to standard. After Liang Lidong conferred him as a Round Table Knight, all his attribute growth was corrected and strengthened. The growth of all his attributes had been corrected and strengthened. The first bloodline magic was no longer difficult for him.
In the middle of the white snow, a small Teleportation Formation had already been drawn. The members of the Brave Team were already in place. Alice took a large bag of money off the back of the unicorn. Then she threw it in front of Liang Lidong and said breathlessly, "I really don't understand why Father would give so much money to you without even asking."
Alice was a 'tsundere' with the temperament of a rich young lady. What she meant was, in fact, the opposite. Her father actually only gave her five hundred gold coins. He should have given her more.
Liang Lidong put the money bag into his spatial bag. Because of the increase in level, his spatial bag's capacity had increased to 27 cubic meters. It could hold a lot of things. A mere money pouch was nothing to him.
The other three looked at him enviously. Among all Spell Casters, Spatial Wizards were recognized as the most comfortable class. Everything could be thrown into the space and taken out when needed. How convenient.
Jessica stood to one side. She kept wiping her tears, although she was also a professional. However, because she was too weak, she could not be of any use at all, so Liang Lidong left her in Reed Village.
The more hardships a child has suffered, the more sensible they are, and the more likely they are to live alone all year round. In fact, the more afraid they are of loneliness. To Jessica, Liang Lidong wasn't just her master, he was also her 'home'. Liang Lidong's departure meant that he was leaving her home. It would be strange if she didn't feel sad.
Liang Lidong touched her head and said slowly, "Don't cry. I'll be back soon. It'll only be a few months. You have to improve your strength so that the next time I go out, I can take you with me. "
Jessica nodded vigorously. She knew that it was because she was useless that her master didn't take her with him.
As Jessica's eyes were hazy with tears, Liang Lidong and the others walked into the magic array, turned into several white rays of light, and disappeared into the sky.
Jessica wiped her tears and walked back, while Belin and Barbara hid in the grove and watched Kail disappear. Both of them looked reluctant.
—
Hollevin was a medium-sized country. On the map, it was shaped like a radish, and Sisilia was located at the end of the radish.
Although it was a border city like Winterwind and Bronze Drum, Sisilia had a much better business environment. It bordered the territories of three countries. More importantly, the three countries and Hollevin were friendly allies with a thousand years of "friendship."
Also, Sisilia was near a plain with convenient transportation. With such an external environment, as long as the mayor wasn't too stupid, he could develop the city.
Therefore, Sisilia had a strong commercial atmosphere. It was the city with the highest tax revenue in Hollevin, accounting for one-thirteenth of all the taxes in the country.
Unlike other cities in Hollevin, Sisilia didn't have any city walls. The city was open to everyone, and there was no poll tax to enter the city. That was because the owner of the city had an old adage that had been passed down for more than a thousand years: the more people, the better the business!
The adage was carried out very thoroughly. At this moment, Sisilia had a permanent population of more than 1.3 million, only 200,000 less than the capital. This city had the most developed business chain in the world. Anything could be found here, including weapons, food, and elven slaves!
Of course, elven slaves only existed in the black market, and they were very few in number, because the elves weren't vegetarians. Once they learned that an organization dared to sell their people, the elves' Nature's Wrath would take action. The rightist organization made of animal rangers and wild druids would take action and wipe out the organization that dared to sell elven slaves.
Therefore, an organization that dared to sell elven slaves must have great strength and the ability to appear and disappear mysteriously.
As an important economic city, Liang Lidong naturally remembered the magic waymark of Sisilia. The small teleportation array teleported the four of them to a small hill on the outskirts of the city.
Kail and Alice were inexperienced in traveling, so there were many things they weren't clear about. But Emma was different. She was quite knowledgeable, and because of her prophecy, she had seen the lives of thousands of people from the perspective of a bystander in the prophecy illusions, so her traveling experience wasn't bad. On the contrary, she was very experienced.
That was also the reason why she could walk from Northshire Town to Reed Village alone. Generally speaking, a fourteen-year-old girl, even if she was stronger, would definitely be tricked away within a hundred miles if she traveled alone.
Because of her rich knowledge, Emma knew very well that the effective experience of a small teleportation array should be within a hundred kilometers. But the teleportation from Reed Village to Sisilia was at least more than nine hundred kilometers … Such a distance could only be achieved by a large teleportation array.
The power to twist fate, the strange ability to confer titles to a Knight, and the unbelievable distance of teleportation magic … Who exactly was Beta?!
Emma looked at Liang Lidong, her beautiful eyebrows almost twisted into a fried dough twist.
Standing on Liang Lidong's shoulder, Joan Of Arc, seeing that they had reached their destination, spread her wings and flew straight into the sky. Eagles were always lively and free and couldn't stay still.
The four of them came out of the teleportation magic array. This was the periphery of Sisilia. The small hill was next to a trade route, and there were many cargo carts coming and going. They were startled by the light of magic, and then when they saw Liang Lidong and the others, they immediately lowered their heads and hurried on. There was no other reason than that these four people were too intimidating.
Two spellcasters. An elven Summoner. This combination could easily wipe out most caravans. As for Kail, he was ignored by the caravans coming and going. After all, he was dressed for battle and was still young. He didn't look very powerful at first glance.
Although Emma looked older, her majestic magic fluctuations could be deceiving.
Following the trade route, the four of them walked to the center of Sisilia. The deeper they went, the denser the buildings next to the road became. When they were about to reach the center of the city, Kail couldn't say anything anymore. He thought that Winterwind was already a big city with a lot of people, but in this place, people were crammed into each other. It was as if they had entered an ant nest.
It wouldn't have been a big deal if there were only a lot of people, but the stalls on both sides of the road were selling different things. On their way, Kail saw a lot of things that he had never seen before, and his mouth was wide open.
Liang Lidong and Emma were both calm. As experienced and knowledgeable people, they naturally wouldn't be shocked by such a scene. Alice, on the other hand, was much more knowledgeable than Kail, the village hero, because she often traveled with her father.
The four of them advanced on the densely packed street. Compared to the surrounding pedestrians who were moving slowly because of the crowd, the four of them were not affected by the quest at all, because no one dared to block their way … Their clothes were too obvious, and anyone could tell that they were professionals at a glance. It would be strange if ordinary civilians dared to block their way, and they hurriedly moved to the side when they saw them.
They found the best room on the top floor of a first-class hotel at the center of the city.
Emma pushed open the window and said to the blue stone castle that stood about two kilometers away, "That's the mansion of the Castellan of Sisilia. The Reed family's armor is kept in the underground treasure room under the castle."
Liang Lidong had been to this place in the game before, and he had also inquired about the city, so he still knew some basic information. He explained to the other two rookies, "Sisilia is controlled by the Brook family, which is a military family. Don't think that they are only doing business now, but the power hidden in the shadows is very strong, and the most important thing is that they are not short of money! They would never be willing to return Reid's armor. It would be useless no matter how much money they spent. Emma, how did you get Kail's armor in the prophecy? "Steal it or rob it?"
"Steal it!"
Liang Lidong smiled. "That's not what a Hero should do."
"But it's the only way," Emma explained. "The Brook family has money and power. It's not practical to ask them to return Kail's armor, so we could only steal it!"
"How do you steal it?" Liang Lidong was curious. "Normally, the security in the treasure chamber is very tight. It's impossible for you to sneak in."
Emma's expression was bitter and bitter. "Because the treasure map is underground. I saw in the prophecy that we dug a long tunnel from afar and spent nearly a month to get to the Brook family's treasure chamber.
We took Kail's armor, but we didn't expect that there would be a special magic array in the treasure chamber. When someone of the Brook family takes something out, it will send out a magic message. Although we escaped in the end, the Brook family still injured us. "
Emma's Prophecy Spell was supposed to be a very good ability, but now that fate had been changed, using the original method might not work … Moreover, Liang Lidong was also curious as to how the Brook Family's treasure vault could be so easily infiltrated, and with such a stupid method at that. Was the defense of a thousand-year-old family only at this level?
Liang Lidong looked at the tall castle and was silent for a long time. Then he said, "Emma, Kail, and Alice, you three go to the Mercenary Union in the city and register an adventure team. Just the three of you, no need for the others. Accept some quests that are within your capabilities. Firstly, it can strengthen your combat cooperation, and secondly, it can train Kyle and Alice's strength. You two are too weak now, so you need to receive some actual combat training. Emma, you have a strong support ability, and Alice is a summoner. The two of you together can take on a ten-man mercenary team, so I believe that with you around, taking care of the two of them should not be a problem. "
Emma asked, "You're not coming with us? What are you going to do? "
Liang Lidong turned his head. "Didn't I say yesterday that I'm going to make money?"
"But we don't have time now! The demon god is about to be resurrected. "
Liang Lidong asked in return, "How long did it take you to get here from Reed Village in the prophecy?"
"Because of the battles on the way, we spent almost two months."
Liang Lidong smiled and said, "By teleporting here, we've saved two months of time. These two months can be used to train their strength. It's not a waste at all."
Emma hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she could only nod in agreement.
Liang Lidong said to Kail and Alice, "Both of you are my Knight. You're not strong enough now, but if you can increase your strength by a level in two months, I have a way to quickly increase your strength."
The two's eyes lit up, and their fighting spirit immediately surged.
Liang Lidong waved his hand to get the three of them to hurry up, while he walked out of the hotel and strolled around the streets.
He opened the internal affairs system, recorded the conversations of the surrounding citizens bit by bit, and then filtered them one by one. Soon, the internal affairs system displayed a lot of information about the current situation in Sisilia.
The internal affairs system can be used not only to manage one's own territory and cities, but also to collect intelligence about other cities. Of course, it is information about internal affairs, but this is enough. A city's business and internal affairs are inseparable. Knowing the internal affairs, you can know how the city's commercial ecology works.
