Stormy Island was huge.
But William was very familiar with this place. As long as he did not go looking for Advanced magical beasts, he would not be in danger.
Five hours later.
William returned to the camp that had been expanded by three times.
Chu Liuqiu, Xiao Ayin, and the other players were even more enthusiastic than Lautner. Before the other soldiers could approach, they surrounded William and greeted him. Their purpose was obvious. It was a mission!
But there were no missions on Stormy Island.
The players had come here for resources!
The players were not powerful enough. They could not be of much help. William thought for a while and gave them a mission to plan the map. Then, he sent them away!
Forever Alone looked at the quest in his hands and gulped. "A complete map of Stormy Island?"
"The upper limit is 120000 experience points. The more detailed the map is, the more experience points you will get." Changli Jiuge thought for a while. This kind of mission required cooperation.
Otherwise, they would be eaten by magical beasts before they could travel more than two kilometers.
…
"Are the teleportation portals half-built?" William walked to Old Band curiously. He looked at the teleportation portals that were 10 meters tall and 6 meters wide.
"The materials were brought from the City of Dawn. Some tools have been prepared, so it is not difficult to build them. The problem is that they are too expensive." Old Band nodded.
As a space archmage, he mainly listened to Princess Annie's instructions. He did not pay much attention to the battles, profits, and businesses of the City of Dawn.
However, he was well aware of the value of these two Space Gates.
Especially the consumption of the teleportation portals. They were like gold-devouring beasts.
On average, one magical crystal would be consumed for every 3,000 people who passed through. The larger the crystal, the more energy it would consume. In other words, one gold coin would be used up for every person who passed through. How many normal Lords could afford such a cost?
William noticed that Old Band wanted to say something, but he did not care. The City of Dawn was not the only place with magical crystal mines!
"There are mines here too. The mines are bigger and have more minerals. Otherwise, I would not have dared to build the teleportation portals."
Lautner suddenly walked over and asked with a smile, "How much does my lord intend to charge?"
William thought for a while and said, "The one-way toll is 3 gold coins. It's not too high. The main purpose of the teleportation portals is to transport resources. Besides missions, no one is allowed to pass through the teleportation portals. Furthermore, the Chosen Ones are too weak now. They are limited to 500 people per day and can only return after seven days! "
"…" Some players couldn't help but complain when they heard the price of 3 Gold Coins. This wasn't considered too high?
Stormy Island was a high-level map. Currently, most players were still at the Basic Tier. None of them had reached the Intermediate Tier. Once they reached the Intermediate Tier, they would gradually discover the benefits of Stormy Island.
In particular, everyone understood that the materials used to construct the Space Door were extremely expensive. Even the Black Lava Nation had no intention of constructing such a good item. This was enough to show how rare the Space Door was!
In addition, using the Spatial Gate seemed to consume some energy, which was why the toll was 3 gold coins.
As for the seven-day limit, it also dispelled many low-level nouveau riche's desire to come here for sightseeing!
"Your Highness, when are we going to start sailing? The Teleportation Gate is too expensive, and we can't afford it. Can we take the ship for free?" a player suddenly asked.
They had ridden the Dawn Vessel for free …
Could it be that the boat ride would be free in the future?
William raised his eyebrows. Free?
He looked at the sun above his head. Was he dreaming in broad daylight?
"When the Dawn Vessel is free, it will make a round trip every seven days. One gold coin per trip!" William replied. It was impossible for it to be free!
The Teleportation Gate's toll was high because he wanted to earn back the cost of constructing the Teleportation Gate from the players!
The Dawn Vessel did not consume too many resources when it sailed. This was because the ship did not use magical propulsion other than when it passed through a storm. Usually, it used sails …
It was simple.
If he wanted to earn money, he had to create something that other forces did not have!
If he wanted to earn money, he had to learn how to spend money first.
…
The construction speed of the Teleportation Gate was not slow.
Old Band had experience in constructing Teleportation Gates. For example, the small Teleportation Gate in Princess Annie's bedroom.
One day later.
The Teleportation Gate was officially constructed.
At this moment, it had become a forbidden area. The players had been chased away.
Old Band carefully took out 88 magical crystals and placed them in some grooves. As a series of space magic was cast, a magic formation was instantly formed!
Buzz!!!
Intense spatial fluctuations spread in all directions!
At the same time.
In a palace in the City of Dawn, the Teleportation Gate also resonated!
At that moment.
A special stone pillar on the right formed a portal. Suddenly, a light screen that looked like water appeared in the middle.
"It's done." Old Band took out 10 magical crystals and placed them in the grooves to replenish energy.
He said slowly, "My lord, the 88 Magical Crystals are the key to connecting to the teleportation portal. They must not be destroyed by anyone. They are buried underground and will not be seen by anyone. I have also cast a barrier spell so that no one can easily destroy them. "The 88 magical crystals will also form a magic formation. When they are not in use, they can absorb the magical energy in the air to replenish themselves. As long as they are not destroyed, they can be used for a long time.
"As for the 10 crystals, they are used to traverse the Teleportation Gate. When the magical crystals lose their glow, we have to replace them. Otherwise, we will be lost in the Teleportation Gate forever …"
After William listened to the explanation, he patted Old Band's shoulder to reassure him. If William did not understand this, would he not be a fool?
But!
Even though the Teleportation Gate had been constructed.
He was not interested in being the first to attempt it.
William immediately issued a mission. Changli Jiuge rushed into the Teleportation Gate without hesitation …
"…" Old Band was dumbfounded. The chosen ones were truly ferocious. Fortunately, the Teleportation Gate was only connected to the City of Dawn. Otherwise …
In less than three minutes.
Changli Jiuge returned from the water screen!
The group of players saw him fall to the ground. His head was dizzy …
"How do you feel?" Chu Liuqiu helped him up and asked curiously.
Changli Jiuge sniffed and drooled. He slowly said, "Have you ever seen a spaceship take off?"
"Cut the crap." Xiao Ayin looked at him with hostility.
"The astronauts sit inside the spaceship. I'm sitting outside the spaceship …"
"Retch!" Many negative buffs appeared on Changli Jiuge's attribute panel. He sprawled at the side and vomited.
When the players heard this, they could not help but sigh. It was so realistic …
William and Old Band glanced at each other. They chose not to explain.
The Teleportation Gate had not stabilized yet.
If Changli Jiuge rushed in and came back, he would be lucky not to die …
"Since the Teleportation Gate has stabilized, I'll be responsible for transporting the magical beasts back to the City of Dawn." William would not let people carry the magical beasts back and forth through the Teleportation Gate. It would consume a lot of energy.
He walked into the light screen.
Instantly!
It was as if he had become a rocket. He traversed through the distorted purple tunnel!
Five seconds later!
The light screen of the teleportation portal hall of the City of Dawn flashed. He walked out!
When the two guards guarding the teleportation portal saw the city lord, they immediately bowed to greet him.
William waved his hand and walked out nonchalantly. When he walked out of the teleportation portal hall, he could not help but lean against the door frame and take a deep breath …
"A newly constructed teleportation portal has a strong aftereffect …" William felt dizzy, and he saw stars. He suspected that Old Band had cut corners.
When he was a player, the teleportation portals had been constructed for a long time, and there were no side effects.
The older the Teleportation Gate, the more stable it would be!
A newly constructed Teleportation Gate would definitely have many side effects. But it would not kill people.
…
"My Lord, you're finally back." Odom was overjoyed. He rubbed his hands continuously.
William glanced at him. "I'll give it to you. It's just a Marsh Flower. If you can't break through, you'll have to bear with it!"
Odom took the purple Swamp Flower and felt the abundant and pure mana inside. He was overjoyed and waved his hand nonchalantly. "Don't worry, my lord. I've been close to becoming a high-order mage for a long time. I'm about to break through. With this flower, I'm very confident."
"Have there been any accidents in the territory recently?"
Odom, who had wavy blonde hair, held his hammer and looked around. Then he said carefully, "The Black Lava Dukedom has developed rapidly under the leadership of Prince William. The treasury of the Black Lava Dukedom has been depleted by one-third. The second prince has started to liquidate the nobles who had opposed him. He's continuing to expand his military power by confiscating their properties."
"What's the reaction of the nobles of the Black Lava Dukedom?" William was very curious. The current King of the Black Lava Dukedom was his subordinate, and William had asked him to do this.
Odom put the Marsh Flower into a box and said, "There are some voices of opposition, but they can't cause too much of a commotion. Because the second prince's goal is revenge, which is very different from 'free will'. "After the war, the Black Lava Dukedom has less than 11 legions. After the war, it recovered to 18 legions. But at least 10 legions belong to the second prince, so the others don't dare to act rashly."
"That's good. Let him continue to develop!" William nodded. He controlled two forces in the dark. They seemed to be opposing each other, but there had been no war between them.
William's purpose was to show others, such as the group of players who were fighting on the grassland and trying to snatch the flag …
"But …"
"But what?"
"Altaic in the east isn't very peaceful. There's a mithril mine in his territory, and he'll start wars from time to time. Whether it's the Giant Dragon clan or the Orichalcum camp, they're all his targets. It feels like … he's training his soldiers!"
William saw that Odom was doubtful and touched his chin. "Don't worry. They're training their soldiers, so do we. I've brought back thousands of kilograms of purified magical metal. I've also brought back 400 magical beast corpses and 30,000 magical crystals to improve the strength of the legions. "When I have time, I'll kill him!"
When Odom heard thousands of kilograms of magical metal, 400 magical beast corpses, and crystals, his eyes almost popped out …
William did not care if Odom heard him. In fact, he really did not want to kill Altaic. With such an enemy in the east, he could provide the players with many missions and pressure the Seraphkin!
Even.
He could slightly improve Altaic's strength …
That was right!
That was what he would do!
After all, the Seraphkin did not like bad men …
