Chapter 341

Ryan did not respond for a long time.

This is not a problem with a single mithril mine. The mine is in Congatero. It is impossible to send people there to take it back directly. It will definitely be regarded as an invasion by the Congatero Kingdom, triggering a war and sweeping the entire subcontinent.

A kingdom with a territory of a quarter of the empire, even if the population is only tens of millions due to the severe cold climate, possesses strength and resources that cannot be easily resisted by oneself.

However, 50,000 pounds of source crystal ore per year makes people excited.

He didn't reject it outright, and asked, "What's the situation with that mithril mine? How can you say that it originally belonged to your property?"

Emily beamed.

Without hesitation, she said seriously: "Sir, you should have guessed my identity a long time ago, right?"

Ren smiled lightly, "I knew it the day I hired the Dragonstone mercenary group."

Emily was slightly taken aback. She thought that Ryan had guessed it slowly in the later contacts, but she didn't expect to be seen through on the first day, which was very unexpected. Shocked, he was more cautious about what he was going to say next.

She stood up and introduced herself with a solemn expression: "My lord, I am the last dragon descendant of the Congatrodrogonburg family. The overthrown king of Silia was my father. My full name is Emilys." *Drogonburg, when he was three years old, he was named Princess of Dragon Crystal Island by his father."

After introducing herself, Emily made a solemn and ancient etiquette to Ryan.

A noble temperament exudes from her.

Ren didn't take it lightly, and got up to respond, "It turns out that Her Royal Highness is in person," and at the same time, according to noble etiquette, he leaned over and kissed the back of her hand lightly.

Emily's ears turned slightly red.

Her demeanor was a little low, she shook her head and said, "It's just an empty name. I have never ruled Longjing Island. I fled Congatro when I was five years old and never went back."

Ryan could understand her situation.

As for the fallen princess, whether it is on Earth or the world of Ellenus, this kind of story is always common, and even a little happy to hear it.

He smiled, but declined to comment.

Emily regained her mood, sat down, and returned to the topic: "My lord, I said that the mithril mine is called the 'Politosi Mine', and it is in the territory of our Drogonburg family. It was discovered less than a hundred years ago, but the reserves are huge. According to my estimate, 150,000 pounds of Mithril can be produced every year."

"The output is so large?" Ren was a little surprised.

The density of mithril is very low, its texture is tougher than steel, but it is very light, and it has extremely high energy conductivity, becoming the most widely used magic metal.

There are more than twenty kinds of Mithril alloys commonly used.

One hundred and fifty thousand pounds of mithril does not sound like much, but it is actually a very impressive figure, more than enough to supply the consumption of Wezeland Floating Void City.

At the current price of Mithril, the annual production value of the Politosi Mine is more than three million gold shields, and with the addition of a large number of source crystal mines, it can reach almost five million gold shields.

Of course, after deducting the mining cost, the net profit should be only about one million gold shields.

But that's enough to move people's hearts.

Ren was not overwhelmed by the benefits, thought for a while, and said: "Amelis, to be honest, I really want this mithril mine, but with my ability, I'm afraid I won't be able to get it back, let alone help you restore it. .”

Emily's eyes flickered.

She seemed to have expected Ren's reaction a long time ago, without any disappointment on her face, she said meaningfully: "My lord, I don't want you to directly send troops to conquer Congatro for me, it's not realistic, But grown-ups can use their influence..."

Emily raised her head to look at the ceiling of the bedroom, but she looked farther away, which was in the direction of Wezeland Floating City.

Ren understood.

What she really wants to use is the power of the floating city, and even let the empire intervene.

He is a member of the Council of Six in Wezeland, a student of the Holy Soul Sorcerer, and also a member of the Empire. The combination of these identities may indeed persuade the Floating Void City to dispatch troops, and even the Empire to dispatch troops.

But it is only possible, the probability of success is very low.

If the empire sends troops to attack the Kingdom of Congatero, it will be a war between the two countries. Although Emilys is the name of the teacher and has legal principles, don't forget that the large-scale war of Ellen Erth is by no means limited to The struggle of mortals must have the influence of gods behind it.

The beliefs of the Congatero people are scattered, and there are mainly seven gods, collectively known as the seven gods.

The power of the seven gods varies from high to low, the most powerful being the god of orcs and power "Grosh", the main believers of this god are orcs and many wild races, but in Congatro, he has a lot of believer.

The current king of Congatro, Marc Lauberdil is a believer in Grosh, and his entire family, as well as the principality, regard Grosh as orthodox.

In addition, there are "Uriel", the god of winter and the north wind, "Him", the god of protection, "Urels", the god of hunting, and so on. The seven major families of the Kingdom of Congatero each have their own principality and a god they serve.

The Drogonburg dynasty was overthrown, and only Bahamut, the god of dragons, lost his faith.

In just a few decades, his number of followers in Congatero dwindled dramatically.

But this dragon god doesn't like to interfere in mortal affairs, especially the wars between mortals. He doesn't care much about the human believers of Congatro, and the only thing he values ​​is the dragon believers, so he didn't try his best to stop it back then. The fall of the Drogonburg dynasty.

If the Floating Void City or the Empire sends out troops, it means that the Goddess of Magic is eyeing the tens of millions of mortals in Congatro, and the gods will definitely stop them.

The war involving the gods is definitely not under the control of myself or Emily.

Ren couldn't help but secretly sighed, this woman's wishful thinking was sound, but she was still playing with fire, and if she made a careless move, she would end up doomed, and she might even implicate herself.

He shook his head slowly, "The risk is too high, the difficulty is too high, I advise you to give up."

"My lord!"

Emily did not waver, puffed her chest out, and said, "I know your concerns, but they are not as serious as you imagined. I just want to get back my rights, restore the rule of the Drogonburg Dynasty, and put The scope of the war is limited to revenge against the Robertil family, and we don't want to change the belief of the people of the kingdom in the Seven Gods."

She meant not to touch the interests of the gods.

The root of gods lies in the number and belief of believers. Without these two points, gods will basically not intervene in mortal battles. This is the default unspoken rule in Ellenus.

After all, for the gods to interfere in the mortal world, it also needs to consume divine power.

Mortals are in awe of the power of the gods, but the gods don't dare to take action at will. In case of accidents or falling into the trap of the hostile gods, the loss outweighs the gain.

In the history of Arrenus, the fall of many gods was triggered by the fuse of the mortal world.

Therefore, the gods also try not to shoot.

The affairs of the mortal world are left to the mortals to solve by themselves.

Renn disagreed, "Once the machine of war is in operation, it is beyond your control. If you say that you don't want to touch the interests of the gods, others will believe it? All the legions of the empire have landed in the Kingdom of Congatro , The Floating Void City also descended into the sky, which will definitely arouse the hostility of the Seven Gods."

"My lord, you have misunderstood."

Emilys explained: "I don't want the imperial army to send troops, let alone the floating city. The Kingdom of Congatro cannot withstand such a terrible attack. The main force of the war is the centaur army under my command, but I lack high-level troops. spellcasting power, so if you want to invite the Wezeland wizard group, it is best to have one or two chairpersons lead the team and join the battle in the name of a private person."

"Of course, it would be great if the lord is willing to send the Spear Wing Knights and the Ultimate Battlegroup," she added.

Ren nodded, this is a good idea.

It is no problem for Wezelan wizards to join the war in their own name, plus their own extraordinary legion, or even a few private armies of imperial lords.

This undoubtedly narrowed the scope of the war, and indeed it would not arouse the vigilance of the gods.

But the difficulty of victory has become greater.

"Have you thought about it for a long time?" Ren asked.

"Yes, my lord." Emilys admitted frankly, "I have always wanted to use a certain force in the empire, but I have no access, and I dare not reveal my intentions at will, until I met the lord..."

The eyes of the soul saw that she was telling the truth.

Ren asked again: "What is the origin of your centaur army? How many people are there?"

"They are the centaurs of the Druken tribe. I have been in touch with them for many years, and I have gained the trust of the tribe. I can send up to five thousand people." Emily said without reservation, "And my mercenary group also has five hundred A number of extraordinary mercenaries, many of them are from Congatro's old loyal family, distributed in the empire and the old continent, as long as I give an order, they can be assembled within two months."

Surprised in Ren's eyes, the army under Emily's command exceeded his expectations.

With 5,000 centaur warriors and more than 500 mercenaries, the number is equivalent to the regular army of half an empire, and their strength is quite impressive.

It is not easy for a princess in exile to organize such a large extraordinary army.

Of course, it is definitely not her own efforts behind this. The Drogonburg family has ruled Congatro for more than 3,000 years, and there must be some remnant forces secretly providing help, not necessarily out of loyalty to the Drogonburg family, or nostalgia Of the remnants of the previous dynasty, there must be ambitious people among them.

With these people cooperating internally and externally, and with the participation of the Wezeland Wizard Group, maybe it will be successfully restored.

As far as Ren knows, Congatro's extraordinary system is unique. It is different from the empire. It is derived from the blood of the orcs. It is similar to a warlock but not good at casting spells.

This made it almost impossible for Congatro to reach the twentieth level and enter the holy rank for other extraordinary professions except for the dragon-born apostle of the Drogonburg family.

At present, there are no saint-level transcendents in Kangatero.

The top combat power is the legendary high-level, and there are only a few of them. The Wezelan Speakers are all wizards, and only one or two can resist or even defeat the opponent.

Ren considered for a long time and was finally persuaded.

He looked at Emily and asked softly, "So, what's the price?"
