Chapter 974
Argenta curled his lips when he heard his wife's words, and whispered: "What else can he do? He must be slacking off somewhere now. We have been friends for so many years, don't I know him?"
"Okay, okay, the chief steward Baird is here, don't talk about his lord in front of others." Laxia's ears moved slightly and reminded in a low voice.
Seeing this, Argenta stopped complaining.
Two minutes later, Baird came to the hall and saluted Argenta and Laxia.
Seeing this, the husband and wife dragons stood up and saluted and responded to each other.
"Lord Argenta, I don't know what you are doing here." Baird came to the opposite side and sat down, and said straight to the point.
Seeing this, Argenta did not hide it and said in a deep voice: "Some time ago, I used magic to send a message to Weilin, but I didn't get a response. I came to you in desperation."
Hearing this, Baird said with an apologetic look on his face. "Lord Aljeta, my master is not in Qixing Territory now, but is supervising the construction of a fortress in a certain space, so he failed to receive your magic message. I apologize to you on behalf of my master."
Aljeta waved his hand to show that he didn't care, and then said: "Send someone to tell him as soon as possible that the sea and sky ice abyss is approaching, and let him go to the Silver Dragon Burke King's capital quickly. If it's too late, my father may be gone."
"I know." Baird nodded and replied.
After receiving the message, Aljeta was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Baird, and asked curiously: "Can the tax-free policy you recently issued cover my tavern?"
Bailder, who was about to get up to say farewell, was stunned when he heard this, but soon recovered and said very naturally: "Of course."
"That's good."
Aljeta responded and left the hall with Laxia.
Bailder sent the two dragons to the gate of the city lord's mansion, and only turned back after the other party's figure completely disappeared.
In less than a moment, a low-level silver knight rode a red phosphorus horse to the northwest border.
…
In the gray fog space, Weilin, accompanied by a group of generals, inspected the fortress to be built.
The main body of this ground fortress was built by his uncle using magic. Tens of thousands of magic arrays were inlaid inside, which were interconnected to form three large protective arrays.
As for the internal structure, it was led by the architect Eunice, a half-elf, and several officials in charge of urban planning transferred from Baird assisted.
Inside the fortress, in the fog-shrouded area, the passage is narrow and can only accommodate four people walking side by side, but this can avoid getting lost and can move forward quickly by holding the wall.
The layout of the fortress area extending outside the fog is mainly large and wide, with multiple weapon warehouses and small teleportation arrays, which can quickly move within a radius of 100 miles and the area of the fortress not covered by the fog.
"Thanks to my uncle's research day and night!"
Weilin squatted down, stroking the magic lines of the teleportation array on the ground, and couldn't help but sighed.
The dozen people standing behind him nodded when they heard this. Lord Odor had made an indelible contribution to building this fortress in just a few months.
"How often have gray creatures appeared in recent days?"
Hearing Weilin's question, Greg answered: "Reporting to the master, in the past three days, a total of 53 gray creatures have been hunted, 21 of which appeared near the fortress, and the remaining 32 gray creatures appeared in various mining areas."
"Are there any casualties?"
"Except for the casualties of dozens of mining slaves, no other casualties were caused."
While talking, Kyle appeared in the fortress and walked quickly towards Weilin.
Seeing Kyle's figure, Weilin stopped asking, and when he approached, he took the lead to ask: "What happened."
"Master, Aljeta is here to urge you."
When Weilin heard this, his face changed, and he suddenly remembered something.
"How long is left?"
"The messenger sent by Lord Baird said that you should go to the Sea and Sky Ice Abyss as soon as possible, and the sooner the better."
Hearing this, Weilin turned to look at Eden and ordered: "Go and inform my uncle and Celeste, and ask them to wait for me in the temporary meeting room."
"Yes, Lord."
Eden accepted the order, saluted respectfully, and turned to leave.
"Call all the generals and officials to come here, I have something to tell you."
"Yes, Lord (Lord)."
Everyone beat their chests and saluted, and dispersed.
Some went into the fog, some entered the small teleportation array, and some jumped directly from the window of the fortress to convey the order.
In less than a moment, Weilin and Kyle were the only ones left here.
"Fortunately, Aljeta came to remind me, otherwise I would have almost forgotten what time it was today."
Hearing his master's sigh, Kyle said: "Master, there is only daytime here, no night, and the passage of time is fast and slow, it is easy to lose sensitivity to time."
"That being said, we still need to find a constant timekeeping method as soon as possible, otherwise it is easy to forget the flow of time if you stay here for a long time."
As time passed, many generals and officials came here, standing on both sides with Weilin as the center, sitting cross-legged, waiting for orders.
Half an hour later, seeing that no one came, Weilin sat cross-legged on the ground and said: "Today is a hurry, and I have called you together for important matters."
"Tomorrow, I, Kyle, and Celeste will leave here temporarily, so only Archmage Odor will be left here."
"The specific date of return is not yet determined, but it will definitely not be less than one year. When I leave, the development of the gray fog space will be temporarily suspended. The mining area close to the gray fog can be abandoned first and we will talk about it later."
"After I leave, Greg will be in charge of daily affairs, and Ixus, Eden, Huan, An and Eunice will assist. The big affairs will be decided by Archmage Odor."
"In addition..."
Everyone remembered every word of Weilin in their hearts.
In just one hour, after Weilin explained various affairs, he waved his hand and asked everyone to go down to work.
Standing up, Weilin and Kyle went straight to the temporary meeting room.
In the temporary meeting room, Odor and Celeste had been waiting there for a long time.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the two raised their heads at the same time and looked at the two people who came in.
Seeing the expressions on the faces of his uncle and the Knight of Dawn Celeste, Weilin didn't need to think to know that the two had known about this.
Sitting down at the round table, Weilin said without any politeness: "Uncle, after the three of us leave, can you defend the perimeter of the fortress?"
"Yes." Odor nodded and replied.
Weilin was not sure about his uncle's fighting ability, but he knew one thing, that is, Kyle could not beat him even if he used all his strength.
