Chapter 436 The Effectiveness of the Teleportation Array

Building a new territory is always troublesome, especially rebuilding it from ruins.

How to migrate the population, how many to migrate, and where to migrate from; how much money to allocate, whether to provide free farm tools, help repair houses, or provide interest-free loans and preferential policies, all require repeated discussions before they can be finalized.

After all, this is not only about money, but also about whether the territory can recover as soon as possible.

Yes, this territory refers to the mountain territory that was destroyed by the undead army and has just been cleared.

Legally speaking, the mountain territory does not belong to Lei Wen, and Lei Wen has no right to control and develop it.

But legal principles are legal principles, and reality is reality.

Griffith has the ability to bring it into his territory, and the law itself will not jump up in Raven's face to object.

There are hidden dangers as well.

After all, the Tiris family, to which Hudson belongs, has a long history and still has surviving bloodlines outside. In theory, they enjoy the right to inherit the territory.

How to deal with it?

Raven wasn't prepared to deal with it.

It doesn't matter to Raven who inherits the Mountain Territory. If he is smart, he can let him occupy the castle of the Mountain Territory and enjoy the treatment that a baron should enjoy.

But if this heir wants to interfere in the affairs of the territory...

As we all know, the revengeful nature of the Hand of Death is very strong!
In this way, it took more than two months to deal with the affairs of the mountain territory.

Soon after, another major project was completed.

On May 1204, 5 in the Guangming calendar, the teleportation array was finally completed.

It is located on an open space east of Eagle City and outside of Eagle Town.

It was a circular plaza with a diameter of 80 meters. The bricks and stones were joined together without any gaps, and the magical lines on it formed a vortex-like pattern.

Seen from the sky, it looks like a blooming flower.

Next to the teleportation array, the Hawkeye guards and their followers formed a human wall to keep the people who came to watch out.

Most of them are nearby residents, and of course there are also businessmen and nobles from other places.

The teleportation array is a widely circulated legend, but few people have actually seen it, let alone seen how it works with their own eyes.

Just to the west of the teleportation array, there is a two-story stone building, the material of which is the same as that of the teleportation array.

Raven was standing in this small building at this time.

In front of him was a stone platform with a diamond-shaped gap in the center. A well-cut magic crystal was floating above the gap.

"Are you sure everything is ready?" Raven asked.

"Yes, Lord Earl." Fiona said respectfully: "All the processes have been completed. I have checked that the magic pathways are intact and the magic crystals that supply energy are in place."

Raven nodded, reached out and pressed the floating magic crystal into the gap.

The last breakpoint of the entire magic circle is thus completed.

hum-

The azure magic light suddenly spread out, illuminating the entire small building, and then drew a blue line along the magic pattern and hit the core of the disk.

The next moment, the entire disc was lit up.

Strips of blue light surged within the swirling patterns, as if forming a real whirlpool in the ocean. The surging magic power illuminated the faces of every onlooker into azure blue!

A beam of blue light shot up into the sky, and then spread out, exploding into a sky full of blue starlight!

After a while, the blue light that shot up into the sky dissipated, leaving only the disk still rippling like water waves.

The exclamations kept coming and going.

"You say, this is considered a success?"

"Ah... I guess so. The light just now was so beautiful, it was like a miracle!"

"But, isn't the function of the teleportation array to teleport? Why can't I see anything?"

"Got it, got it, got it! Look!!"

The blue light on the disk suddenly changed into a -

Mirror?

No, no, not a mirror!
Although it reflects the sky, the density of clouds and the angle of sunlight are completely different from the sky at the moment.

That is the sky of another world.

Then, one foot after another stepped onto the picture, and people could even clearly see the gravel embedded in the soles of the shoes.

Boxes, bales of straw, and sacks were piled up in the picture until the sunlight was completely blocked out.

hum-

A blue light rose up, as if an invisible hand had slapped the edge of the picture, turning it upside down like a flip board.

At this moment, the noisy sound disappeared and was replaced by silence.

This is so unreal, it's like a dream.

For most ordinary people, the closest they get to magic in their lives is when they go to a potion shop to buy magic potions, but even then they can't see any of the fantastic scenes they imagine.

Instead of being like now, a mountain of goods suddenly appeared on the empty teleportation array!

As for the nobles among the onlookers, they were more aware of what this teleportation array meant.

For example, Jon changed his appearance and pretended to be a businessman.

As a magician supported by the Slater family, he came here to see the scale of Raven's teleportation array.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still frightened when he actually saw it.

A rough estimate at this time is that there are at least 400 million pounds of supplies appearing on the teleportation array!

What does 400 million pounds mean?
If it were food, it could feed an army of 3 people for a month.

If it is iron ingots, you can make 10 sets of armor, or 100 million weapons of various types.

This is probably because it is the first time to use it, so the transmission scale is deliberately limited.

In other words, as long as Raven can afford the gold coins, the entire Duchy of Eivor will be his fields, his pastures, and his mines!
"Long live Griffith!!!"

I don't know who was the first to shout this.

Then, there was a tsunami-like harmony:
"Long live Griffith!!!"

Most of the people who shouted did not realize the significance of the teleportation array as clearly as Jon.

All they knew was that Earl Raven had built this teleportation array and had put it into use.

This was a miracle they had never heard of, a feat no other noble had ever accomplished.

This alone is enough to make them stand up with pride!

Not to mention that they also saw the mountains of goods and piles of food that appeared on the teleportation array.

Hunger will never come to the Griffith family again, and they will never, ever be troubled by food again!

Listening to the cheers outside, Raven had a smile on his face, but his expression was quite indifferent.

Because he was well aware of the price paid to achieve this "miracle".

It is true that the single transmission volume reaches 400 million pounds, but the construction cost of this transmission array is as high as 433 million gold coins.

After it is built, even if it is not used, the annual maintenance cost will not be less than 30 gold coins.

Each use would consume magic crystals worth at least 2 gold coins.

Not to mention, the cost of teleporting a living thing is much higher than that of a dead thing; if a soldier in full helmet and armor wants to be teleported, not to mention the basic loss, it will cost magic crystals worth more than 20 gold coins.

1 legion, 5500 people, means the teleportation cost is 13 gold coins!
"Have someone move the goods out." Raven ordered, "Remember to maintain order. We must wait until all personnel have evacuated before we can continue to use it."

"Understood, my lord."

Once the teleportation array is activated, it seems that it cannot be stopped at all.

Over the next eight days, the teleportation array was activated 8 times, with mountains of cargo piled up each time.

At first, the people were watching excitedly, but after seeing it happen more and more, they gradually got used to it.

The time came to the early morning of June 6th.

The cargo transportation has come to an end.

Raven stepped onto the teleportation array.

The blue light is hazy.

...Chapter 444: The True King

Blue Castle, the capital of the Principality of Eivor.

Musician Youset is fixing her makeup facing the water.

Reflected on the water was a middle-aged male face that was heavily made up, but looked dull and stiff.

Today is June 1204, 6, the 9rd anniversary of the founding of the Principality of Eivor.

This should have been a day worth celebrating.

But Yousette couldn't be happy. He put on a smile without a smile towards the water and then put it down. He sighed softly, grabbed the trumpet hanging on the wall and walked out the door.

To cater to the National Day, the streets were hung with colorful ribbons and seasonal flowers, but there was not any festive liveliness. Instead, the streets were empty, with few pedestrians.

Soon, Youset arrived outside the Posha Palace.

There is a huge disc here, which is one end of the teleportation array.

Youset arrived a little late. At this time, the outer edge of the disk was already surrounded by mobilized residents, holding bouquets, ribbons, or banners in their hands.

And Youset quickly found his position, standing among a group of residents who were also holding musical instruments.

He looked at the army surrounding the teleportation array, as well as an even thicker layer of residents.

The number of troops was no less than 5, and the number of mobilized residents was at least 2.

But the atmosphere was quiet and depressing.

"Damn it!" Yuset's chest felt suffocating, and he couldn't help but whispered, "Do we really have to do this!?"

"Shh, be careful!" Someone nearby nudged Yuset's elbow: "The adults are watching!"

Following the man's gaze, Yuset's eyes fell on the entrance of Posa Palace.

The so-called "adults" were standing there.

Leading the group was the Grand Duke of the Duchy, Eivor VIII; beside him, dignified and beautiful like a goddess, was the Grand Duchess Tracy; and further behind was the Imperial Marshal and Prime Minister Quentin.

Seeing them, Youset felt even more upset.

If it weren't for the incompetence of these people, how could he be standing here now, to greet a foreign earl, a butcher whose hands were stained with the blood of the Eivor people! ?

Yes, Youset knew what he was doing, and everyone present knew it.

They wanted to welcome Raven, the noble who broke Eivor's spine, on Eivor's National Day.

It's like, it's like Raven is the real master of Eivor

The true king of the Principality of Eivor!
At this moment, light rose from the teleportation array.

Yuset's thoughts almost came to a standstill.

This reminded him of the day when the Blue Castle was breached, and the Black Armored Legion that was as irresistible as a demon!
However, when the light faded, Youset was stunned.

There was only one person standing on the huge teleportation array.

There is no army, no one to protect him, only a lonely figure.

Raven, you dare to come here alone!?
"kill him!"

Yuset screamed in his heart.

Killing Raven will wash away Eivor's shame and lift the shadow that hangs over Eivor!
Eivor VIII also held the same idea.

It is indeed a temptation.

After all, Raven's posture is so old.

His hair was pale and casually scattered beside his face, his forehead was full of wrinkles, and his skin was dry and wrinkled; his back was slightly hunched, and his old arms were tightly grasping a scepter, as if he could not stand without the scepter.

"Everyone listen up--" Eivor VIII tightened his throat, and shouted with a somewhat ferocious expression: "Give it to me"

"play music!!!!"

After a brief silence, cheerful music started playing, and the residents around them instantly came alive.

"Long live Lord Raven!"

"Long live Earl Raven!!!"

"Long live Earl Raven!!!"

Eivor VIII seemed to have experienced a nightmare. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead, which he wiped away with his sleeve.

The thought of killing Raven in his mind was completely extinguished the moment he looked into Raven's eyes.

Those eyes were indifferent but with a hint of mockery.

At that moment, Eivor VIII's heart seemed to be grasped by a huge hand and he couldn't breathe at all!

Raven is indeed very old now, and he is indeed alone.

But Eivor VIII has not forgotten how Raven killed the Level 5 reincarnated angel alone!

If we order a siege now, Raven might indeed die.

But what about Eivor VIII?

Certain death!

He wants to live.

"Lord Raven, welcome to the Possa Palace!" Eivor VIII rubbed his hands and smiled, "I have already ordered people to prepare your favorite food and wine. I hope you can come."

Having said that, he disregarded his status and stepped forward to support Raven.

Raven did not refuse. Although he felt disgusted in his heart, he said modestly, "No need to do that, no need to do that."

"If I were not so weak, I should be the one to pay my respects to Your Highness the Grand Duke!"

To be honest, Raven's purpose for coming here this time was quite simple.

Half of it was to see if he could get some money out of Eivor, at least to give him the capital to purchase some materials for the Glory of the Kingdom of God; the other half was to bring Margaret back and solve the ancient dragon problem in Ganville Province.

He never expected that after he had repeatedly warned Eivor VIII not to be too extravagant, Eivor VIII would end up making such a big fuss for him!
Especially when he saw the people surrounding him in three layers, Raven felt a little regretful.

If I had known, I wouldn’t have come here alone to save money.

Fortunately, Eivor VIII was timid enough.

"I dare not, I dare not. You are the savior of our Principality of Eivor!" Eivor VIII took Raven's arm, his expression changed slightly:
"The ones in front, why don't you lead the way for Earl Raven!?"

Raven followed the team all the way to Posha Palace.

Four years have passed, and the parts of Posha Palace that were destroyed in the last war have been repaired, and it looks even better than before.

When we arrived at the hall, we found that just as Eivor VIII had said, fine wine and delicious food had already been prepared.

"My Lord Earl, please take a seat." Eivor VIII pointed to his high-backed chair.

"No need." Raven refused firmly and walked to a chair below the throne and sat down.

"I am a foreign minister, how can I sit in your position?"

Power needs form to consolidate, but form cannot represent power itself.

The high-backed chair in the center of the hall symbolizes the supreme power of the Principality of Eivor and should have been the focus of everyone's attention.

But when Raven sat down, everyone's eyes shifted to him.

Eivor VIII, who sat high on the throne, was ignored by everyone, intentionally or unintentionally.

This made Eivor VIII feel a little uncomfortable. He coughed lightly and raised his glass:
"Let us pray for the health of Earl Raven!"

The nobles present all raised their glasses, while Raven took a sip and put it down.

Archduchess Tracy put down her glass and stood up.

She was dressed very solemnly today.

She wore a platinum jeweled crown on her head, her makeup was natural and elegant, and she was wearing a bright red dress. She crossed her hands at her waist and walked in front of Raven with a fragrant breeze, saying with concern:

"Lord Raven, your safety not only concerns the stability of the Griffith family, but also the stability of our Principality of Eivor."

"So, you must take good care of yourself."

As she spoke, she ignored the gazes of the hundreds of nobles present. As the mother of a country, she gently bent down and knelt at Raven's feet, placing her hands on his knees, as docile as a doe:
"My Lord, you didn't even bring a personal maid with you this time. This is really negligent of you."

"If you don't mind, I'll take care of your daily life for the next few days, how about that?"

In the corner, there was a pair of eyes that were so angry that they were about to burst into flames.
