Chapter 213 Harbor Idea
The reason why it took Redal, Tom and others ten days to return from the Strange Valley was mainly because Redal was injured and could not travel for a long time.
Now that they set off from Black Earth Town to the valley, it won't take that long.
On the one hand, they are in good mental condition and have plenty of physical strength;
On the other hand, all the monsters and wild beasts along the way have been wiped out, and everyone’s main focus is on the road;
It only took them four and a half days to approach the strange valley again.
"Sir, ahead is the place where the battle took place that night."
Redal pointed to the woods ahead and said.
Everyone looked over and saw that the forest not far away was in a mess and was the size of more than half a football field.
Tall trees were directly cut off, and trunks, branches, and leaves fell and splashed everywhere;
The low grass and trees also seemed to have been hit by a hurricane, swaying here and there, and some were even uprooted;
There are also fresh potholes everywhere on the ground, which were obviously bombarded by powerful fighting skills.
This battlefield alone is enough to know how fierce the battle between Redal and the group of monsters was that night!
Those who did not know Redal's true strength level, such as Kurami and Grado, had a clear understanding of the combat power of the commander of the Northern Territory after seeing this scene.
At the same time, they also had a more direct understanding of the dangers of this operation.
Not only them, but also Luo Ning.
Fortunately, when he was on his way, he had already distributed the more than 700 points of energy essence he had accumulated.
He first needs a warrior who can stand alone, and according to Redal, it will take about a year for him to barely be able to fight with ordinary gold-level warriors.
In order to cope with the possibility of gold-level enemies, Luo Ning added all 500 points of energy essence to Ruidal's body in addition to the sixth-level spell scroll, increasing his cultivation progress to 583/1500.
He used all the remaining 253 points of energy essence on Elrond.
Elrond is naturally in the auxiliary position in this battle. He only needs to use purification and healing techniques on injured personnel, or use light binding and burnout halo at the right time when the battle situation is not good.
Just leave the frontal battle to Rydal, McCann and others.
"Everyone, please rest nearby. After lunch, you can recover your strength. In the afternoon, we will go over and observe the terrain."
Luo Ning was not in a hurry to attack. He first took a closer look to see if there was any valuable information.
"Elrond, be careful to maintain the state of your magic power."
"Don't worry, sir. My magic power has been refined to its full state and I can fight at any time."
Along the way, even if they encountered sporadic magical beasts, they were all dealt with by the knights. Apart from the physical exertion of the journey, Elrond did not lose any magic power.
Everyone began to rest where they were.
A few days ago, they could roast and eat the meat of the monsters they killed, but since they were close to the target point, in order to avoid exposing their whereabouts due to lighting a fire, they could only take out the dry food from the package to fill their stomachs.
Luo Ning took out clean water and fruits from the space ring and distributed them.
He is not worried about being exposed. If someone asks him how to pull something out of thin air, he will just say it is a magic thing.
But everyone was just curious, but no one asked.
"This is a healing spell scroll."
"Although you four junior knights can't use it, you still have a share. It's a reward for everyone's action."
Ronin took out twelve spell scrolls and handed them to Tom to distribute them to everyone.
At the same time, he took out the spell scrolls such as Wind Tentacle, Purification, Holy Shield, Pyroblast, and Speed, and gave them to other people for use.
Of course, these scrolls were of high value and he was not planning to give them to his subordinates. After the operation, if there are any left, he will take them back.
Spell scrolls are somewhat similar to weapons and ammunition. Luo Ning took out so many in one go, and the battle was very rich.
Not to mention anything else, the market price of a Pyroblast spell scroll reaches seventy or eighty gold coins. Luo Ning took out five of them at once, not to mention more advanced spell scrolls!
In the eyes of his subordinates, their lord was just a rich man.
They also felt more and more that it was right to follow this Lord.
Especially for Joffrey, it would be great if he could not be suspected by the other party when he followed Leisen, let alone let the other party give him a spell scroll before the battle.
Luo Ning didn't mean to show off his wealth. He just wanted to be on the safe side and didn't want any accidents to happen to his favored subordinates.
After eating, drinking, and resting, everyone set off again.
The closer they got to the valley, the quieter the sounds of communication became, and gradually only the sound of slight footsteps remained.
Not long after, they reached the peak behind the strange valley.
The last time Redal and others came here was at night. They only saw a silver-white line in the distance, and based on the sound, they guessed that it was the sea.
But now it was daytime, and they could really see the scenery in the distance. It was indeed the sea.
“How spectacular!”
Jenny's eyes flashed. She had come across knowledge about the sea in the few books in her collection, but had never seen it with her own eyes.
Now just looking at it from a distance, she could feel the magnificence described in the book.
Except for Kurami, who had been to Point City and seen the sea, everyone else felt more or less similar to Jenny.
Luo Ning had seen the sea before, so he didn't sigh much.
At this moment, another idea came to his mind - the outlet to the sea.
Wubei Territory is surrounded by sea to the east and north. Is there a place suitable for building a port?
Although there seems to be no land to the east of this continent, the Principality of Vera can be reached southward along the east coast of Wubei Territory;
Go north and west to reach the north of the Screaming Sea, then go south to enter the Screaming Sea. You can reach the Royal Capital on the east side of the route, the territory of the Earl of Screaming Island on the west side, and you can reach the Wushan Territory all the way south. Point City.
If trade develops in the Northern Territory of Wuhan in the future, transportation by sea and land will seem to be more convenient than by land.
Then the key is that Wubei Territory needs to have its own port.
However, it is not possible to build a port along the sea. You also need to find a suitable location, such as the depth of the water, the topography of the seabed, etc.
At the same time, if you really want to build a port, you will definitely need professional people, such as experienced captains, sailors, harbor construction craftsmen, etc.
It is impossible for civilians or serfs in Wubei Territory to complete such a job.
It seems that Luo Ning has the opportunity to go to Angle City or other seaport cities to look for talents who are familiar with this knowledge.
But this is all a story for another day. Building a port is not something that can be completed in a few months. It requires a huge amount of manpower, financial and material resources.
Luo Ning can have a plan first and then think about advancing it.
Withdrawing his thoughts, he carefully surveyed the valley, but because his location was too far from the bottom of the valley, he found nothing unusual.
They had no choice but to use trees as cover and go down the back of the mountain.
The closer you get to the bottom of the valley, the easier it is to see some dead bones, both human and animal.
I don’t know what fierce battle happened here.
"It seems like no one is patrolling?"
Luo Ning glanced around, but there was no one around. He used the wind of detection and confirmed the current situation again.
Within hundreds of meters around, there was no trace of anyone else except themselves.
"Are they all hiding in the cave?"
Luo Ning frowned slightly and looked at the cave diagonally opposite the hillside. It was too abrupt and too reckless to break in like this.
"McCann, Joffrey, you take Tom and the four of you to watch from behind, and the rest of you spread out."
Luo Ning ordered in a low voice: "Everyone hide their bodies and observe for a while before talking." (End of Chapter)
