<h4>Chapter 341: The Cautious Drondheim</h4>
In the early morning, the ten guys with the great silver coins left.
Just like how they were found out, they left in a hurry. They didn’tmunicate much with Kant at all. They only cared about the realistic benefits and promises for the future.
There was indeed not much to talk about between the two sides. They just needed to lie low and slowly infiltrate and develop.
Kant had no other requests.
If they really wanted to invade the Dukedom of Leo or the Silver tter Kingdom, they definitely would not rely on these people who only yearned for profits.
Because since they could choose to be loyal to Kant for the great silver coins, then they could also betray Kant for the great silver coins as well!
The many generals and soldiers from the world of “Mount & de” were still trustworthy. At the very least, both sides were in a rtionship where one would suffer and the other would prosper. If Kant died in this world, then the system would also copse, and these characters from the system would also perish.
This was the true rtionship between life and death!
“Time.” Kant sighed lightly.
Walking out of the tent, he looked at the light of dawn seeped through the undting dunes and stretched his back.
The temporary camp was already busy.
While the sky was still dark, the civilians got up early to feed the camels with grass and water while preparing breakfast. It seemed that they were nning to set off early and quickly return to the Oasis Lookout.
There was a reason for this. Their current location was not far from the Oasis Lookout.
They all had mounts, and based on estimation, they would probably arrive at dusk if they speed up.
They did not hesitate.
After breakfast, they rested and checked before setting off.
The fur coats fromst night had all been taken off and stuffed into their bags. They wore cool linen robes and linen hood. They walked smoothly through the pre-nned route.
They traveled from early morning until noon. Then, they set up camp to avoid the scorching sun.
In the afternoon, they continued to set off.
Finally, before dusk, a slender tower appeared on the horizon, like a long needle that was about to pierce the sky.
It was the high-level watchtower of “Drondheim” Castle.
Soon, desert cavalry quickly arrived.
In the normal inspection procedure, especially before Kant left, Manid was specially ordered to pay attention to the surrounding situation. Therefore, the inspection of “Drondheim” Castle was even stricter.
Even though they had already noticed that it was their camel caravan, they still sent light cavalry to inspect it.
All of this was based on caution.
Kant was satisfied with this. What he needed was Manid’s caution.
This son of a noble merchant family from the continent of Caradia was not cautious at the beginning. As a result, he was robbed of all the goods in the carriage by the bandit. In the end, he was reduced to a run-down merchant on the Continent of Caradia. In a short period of time, he did not even have the funds to go home. From this event, it could be seen that Manid had learnt his lessons the hard way
Now that he was in power and was in charge of the most important castle, Drondheim. Kant had also warned him to be cautious when he was not around. Manid would definitely do as he was told.
If something really went wrong, no one would be able to shoulder this responsibility!
“There’s a huge change.” Kant rode his horse closer to his castle.
There were already many construction workers busy at the south gate. At the same time, they piled uprge pieces of stones, making it look like a new city wall was being built.
Bunduk nodded from behind. “It is indeed huge.”
“Wee back, Lord Kant. and... Bunduk?”
Manid was walking out quickly.
When he bowed respectfully, his gaze was slightly shocked, especially when he looked at Bunduk, who was riding on a ck horse. After some hesitation, heughed dryly and said, “Hey, you change... change a lot. I almost thought it was someone else.”
Bunduk nodded calmly. “Time can change everything.”
His had a drastic change and became an underworld apostle.
This was different from the previous captain of the crossbowmen or being conferred as a noble and automatically bing a civil protection officer after being conferred the estate. It was aplete transformation.
From the appearance of Bunduk to his personality, and even the power he possessed.
It was aplete transformation!
Back when they were partners of the justice side, their rtionship was very close. They met each other in a tavern on the Continent of Caradia. They could even have a few drinks to chat about life. They were friends that could not be more familiar.
However, things had changed when they met again.
A sense of strangeness appeared out of nowhere.
If it was not for the fact that Bunduk’s appearance had not changed much, Manid would almost think that he was someone else.
After all, after bing an apostle of the underworld, Banduk’s originally righteous and humorous temperament, as well as his perseverance, suddenly changed into a gloomy, oppressive, dark and hidden temperament that was rted to the underworld.
If he used the power of the underworld, it would add even more sinister and terrifying, extremely evil and terrifying aura!
“Bunduk had gone through a fortuitous encounter.”
Kant exined, “It’s like being reborn, but he is still loyal to me.” Pausing for a moment, Kant looked at the frowning Manid and shook his head, “No matter what, I need all of you to stay united.”
Manid looked at Bunduk, who was now like a stranger, and gently sighed, “Of course.”
He had already guessed why Bunduk had changed.
The recovery from his injuries back then was actually not a secret.
“Lord, let’s go in.”
Manid quicklyposed himself and weed Kant’s return.
At the same time, he reported to Kant, “Currently, the two barbicans outside the castle are almost finished. I estimate that in three days, the main body will bepleted. When that timees, it will be ready to build the arrow tower and watchtower on it.”
“Very good.” Kant nodded. He also saw the towering barbicans.
The pedestrians and construction workers passing by all bowed and greeted Kant. Many people were looking at him eagerly. After all, this was the respect to a supreme lord who was like a father and god.
Kant was calm.
It was not the first time he received such an enthusiastic gaze and courtesy.
He rode his horse back to the council hall.
Bunduk, the Lion Knights, and the mages walked in together.
The golden discs, which had been transported all the way here, was also moved in at this time. As the linen cloth cover was pulled away, the golden light immediately lit up the entire council hall.
It was as if there was a new sun!
“This special power... it’s really powerful...”
“That’s right... I feel that my physical strength is recovering rapidly...”
“My extraordinary power is also growing...”
The Royal Knights who were originally stationed in the council hall eximed one after another.
Their extraordinary power, which originally belonged to the positive energy of the King’s Power, was now bathed in this golden light. It was as if their whole body being was bathed in the warm sunlight, feeling extremelyfortable.
And the stamina and extraordinary power that they had used up after standing guard for a day were beginning to recover.
They all had a good rest!
Kant, on the other hand, had a surprised look on his face. He raised his eyebrows slightly and turned his head to ask the mages, “It seems that this sun disc of ours has a special effect on the Royal Knights.”
“Perhaps it’s the replenishment of the same energy.” the mages came to a conclusion.
In fact, they were also very surprised. This was something they had not expected.
Although they had developed this strange object, in fact, they still had not figured out how to use it. They were still at the stage of fumbling and researching. Although they could control it now, it was all thanks to the modifications made by the magic system of the Enfath Empire, only then could they control this sr disc. Otherwise, they would really be at a loss.
At this moment, new mage apprentices came down from the top floor. They were the six of them who had been recruited in the past three weeks. When they saw Kant, they immediately bowed and greeted him, “My lord.”
“Yes.” Kant nodded to them.
After the six mage apprentices bowed, they looked at the sun disc with shining eyes.
The rich positive energy was gathering, which made them extremely shocked, especially when the magic system of the Enfath Empire was contained in it. It made these apprentices even more excited when they saw it.
However, seeing the 18 mages who were still whispering to each other and discussing matters, these apprentices still walked over respectfully, as if they were students saluting their teachers. “Greetings, mages, new apprentices salute you.”
“Oh, new mage apprentices?”
The mages were still very enthusiastic. “Wee, we can study together!”
After all, they were all apprentices, and there was not much level suppression on them.
Kant sat on his main seat and pped his hands, he signaled for them to focus their attention. “Alright, let’s stop reminiscing and discussing. I need you to fuse the sun discpletely now. It’s best if our sun disc bes a perfect posture that can cover the entire castle.”
“Of course, we’ll start now!”
The mages did not hesitate.
The sun disc floated half a meter above the ground. On its three-meter diameter, golden patterns shed with light. It looked mysterious and magnificent.
“Wait.” Kant suggested, “Go to the top floor of the council hall.” He frowned slightly. “If this sun disc bes bigger, I don’t think there’s a way to transport it out of the hall. I don’t want to tear down the wall that has already been built or make a big crack on the top of the council hall.”
“Sorry, our negligence.” the mages apologized.
This was indeed something they did not expect.
After all, the current sun disk was three meters in diameter. It could be transported in thanks to theck of thickness, as well as the fact that the gate of the council hall could all be opened, tilting the sun disc to let it in.
If it was fused with other sun disc and became more than five meters in diameter, then there was no way to transport it out.
“You guys handle this matter properly.”
Kant waved his hand, feeling helpless against these ivory tower-like schr.
Being a mage was carefree. Even if they were on the battlefield, throwing spells was enough for them to battle. As for the other problems, there was no need for them to worry about. They were like the noble on the battlefield was graceful and luxurious.
The mages set out to do it.
The mage apprentices and Lion Knights also helped at the side.
The hall immediately became quiet again.
Kant then nodded and sighed a little helplessly. He asked Manid in front of him, “During the time I was away, did anything strange happen in the depths of Nahrin Desert?”
Manid said solemnly, “No, Lord. Everything is normal.”
“That’s good.” Kant heaved a sigh of relief.
However, Manid still frowned slightly, his expression remained solemn. “However, we discovered that although there were no unusual movements in the Nahrin Desert, the surrounding natural environment had undergone a great change. In particr, the night had be colder, especially in the salt mines. Arge number of ves had already frozen to death, numbering close to 300 people.”
