You were made to farm, and now you're the emperor of an empire?

Chapter 310 Mona in a Fog (More to come tomorrow)

The Black Iron Palace has plenty of gold coins.

And gems... they have those too.

The Black Iron royal family possesses a vast fortune accumulated since the time of the conquerors.

It is said that the Conqueror's Treasury refers to the treasury of the Black Iron royal family.

A sapphire costs an average of five gold coins. This gem is not very useful for warriors and is more suitable for spellcasters, so there is a lot of stock in stock.

Five heavy plows can be exchanged for a sapphire.

But the Black Iron royal family lacked not only heavy plows, but also farming tools.

Like the heavy plow, it's impossible to give it away for free.

A clearance sale is possible.

Hurry up and make your wedding dress!
Pirates followed a tribal system.

Some pirate tribes were wealthy, while others were not; not all pirates made substantial profits in that war.

If iron farm tools are to be widely sold and popularized, they cannot be expensive.

Moreover, bartering meant that Roman could only exchange ships and slaves for other things.

The Black Iron royal family is different; they have a deep foundation, but since they don't have slaves, they can only exchange other resources for them.

Farm tools aren't expensive; the royal family can afford them.

Exchanging 1,000 rubies and sapphires for 20,000 iron farm tools and 1,000 heavy plows is a very worthwhile deal.

Iron farm tools can last at least two years.

If oats and rye are planted in the fall, and if the harvest meets expectations, more grain can be harvested next year.

These days, grain production equals war potential, and the Black Iron royal family's direct territories are not short of people.

Therefore, both parties were very satisfied.

Since the Battle of Spring Rain, Roman has received another batch of resources.

He can also obtain various minerals and gemstones through mining.

However, Roman obtained more than a hundred blue gemstones from the crystal spheres throughout last year, and now his reserves are almost depleted. This batch of resources is just in time to replenish them.

At this moment, the Warcraft Witch's bird brought good news.

One hundred assistant witches dispatched by Witch Forest are about to arrive in Plenty City.

……

Roman viewed it as a deeper connection, and also as a process in which the witches gradually began to attach themselves to the City of Origin.

They are slowly shifting their power away from Cangyue.

To outsiders, the War of the Sweep was caused by the King of the Valley's willingness to wage a high-intensity war against the Papacy in order to protect the witch.

The result was that the jihadist army was crushed with a single punch.

Its remains were slowly swept into a winnowing basket by the King of the Valley.

The will and strength of the King of the Valley were powerfully demonstrated in this battle!

In comparison, Witch Lin was rather slow.

However, considering Moon City's predicament, and the interdependent relationship between the Witch Forest and Moon City...

Before Sinnoh withdraws its troops and the siege of Crimson Moon is lifted, it is impossible for the remaining main force of Witchwood to withdraw from Crimson Moon.

Of course, it is also possible to send one of the main force members to escort the auxiliary witches to safety and then come over to hand over the duties to Roman.

The team hiked through the mountains, guided by birds, and arrived at the city of abundance.

In other lands, witches would hide their faces, but in this land, they walked out openly and boldly.

The entire team is female and wears matching black robes.

This large caravan immediately instilled fear in the farmers along the road.

They arrived at the Castle of Abundance without any obstacles along the way.

But the castle could not accommodate a hundred witches; only a few came to meet the lord of the land.

"Your Highness, I greet you. I am Mona."

One of the seated witches, Mona of the Lost Time, stood before Roman.

She wore a black cloak, obscuring her age; her face was a mix of youth, woman, and old woman. She had silver hair and translucent eyes, and her voice was ethereal, possessing a unique mystical quality. "You are special," Roman said.

He had heard of Mona before; the witch of time, the seated witch who controlled time, whose status and power were even greater than Margaret's.

“All kings are special, but none can compare to you,” Mona said with a faint smile. “Thank you for taking us in.”

"Let's not say those things," Roman scoffed.

"I'm not flattering you."

"I mean, don't state facts that are already common knowledge."

The Witch of Lost Time quickly realized, "You are indeed a born king."

That's why people say that kings are different from ordinary people; ordinary people don't have that kind of thick skin.

The person in front of me, on the other hand, simply accepted it without hesitation.

"A king can't be without helpers," he said.

"We are willing to be your right hand, ready to go through fire and water for you at any time."

Mona was sensible, and Roman was very satisfied.

These long-lived witches were far more adept at interpersonal relationships than Margaret and Shasta.

"But other sisters who would go through fire and water for you are waiting outside."

“I will take care of them,” Roman said.

These witches are all non-combatants.

Their spellcasting talent was insufficient to develop innate spells, and their potential was low; the power of their general spells was no different from that of Gavial, who had just learned spells.

The reason they became witches was due to various reasons.

Accidental ingestion of a magic potion, awakening in dire straits, being inspired by a prophet, or being a descendant of a witch... these are all possibilities.

A very small number of them might be at the level of a first-tier knight, but most of them would be beaten to death by a first-tier knight.

They were of little use on the battlefield, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to evacuate from the Cangyue battlefield.

Even when evacuating, one must accompany a seated witch to avoid any mishaps along the way.

Roman planned to send the witches to Origin City, as Plenty City was still in a state of chaos and its infrastructure was not yet in place.

He asked Mona, "Can you control time?"

Mona said with a smile, "I only know the basics. Even if I studied this spell for a lifetime, I would still find it difficult to master."

Roman said, "Could you show me?"

Mona extended a hand from her black cloak, and with a slight wave, Roman initially didn't realize what was happening, but he quickly sensed something was amiss.

The speed at which the people around him moved changed from normal to 0.5x.

“Your Highness, I have manipulated time; only we are unaffected,” the witch said.

Roman readily accepted the concept: "What is the maximum effective range?"

"About a hundred meters, but to be honest, the smaller the range, the stronger the power I can exert. The larger the range, the weaker my power becomes, and I can't restrain those powerful guys either," Mona said, reciting her spells with great familiarity.

"Who are the powerful guys?"

“Living dragons, strange creatures, paladins, conqueror knights, berserkers, frost giants, other seated witches, archmages…” Her words had an ethereal quality, and the names she uttered seemed light and airy.

But to others, those were all heavyweight, extraordinary units.

Roman asked, "Aren't you a Seat Witch too?"

“But it would be very difficult for me to directly control their actions. After all, it’s not impossible for someone like that to break the time barrier. To deal with them, it would be best to send a few hundred people to wear down their strength first, and then I would make my move when they are exhausted.”

Book Recommendation: "I, the Punisher of Bad Women!"

This is a story about a scumbag boyfriend battling a bad woman.

It was already a difficult start, but the original owner was a simp and a scoundrel, and he also had a natural ability to attract bad women. Not only had his inheritance been swindled out of most of it, but a bunch of gold diggers and scumbags were also eyeing him covetously.

Fortunately, Jiang Haifeng activated the "Bad Woman Punishment System," which allows him to obtain various generous rewards by punishing these bad women.

Jiang Haifeng was delighted.

Isn't this a perfect match for my major?

Today, Jiang Haifeng will fight fire with fire and violence with violence, severely punishing these wicked women!
