Chapter 189 The transaction scam has been exposed
The dwarves' work contract signing process went very smoothly. After reading the contents of the contract carefully several times, the few dwarves who were originally hesitant still looked reluctant, but they were not slow in queuing up to sign and dripping their blood on the contract magic circle.
After the contract is completed, a magician will brand a special magic mark on the back of their hands. This magic mark, like a slave contract, is a pattern that can be seen with the naked eye. In addition to being used to prove the identity of the dwarves, it will also impose certain behavioral restrictions on the dwarves. This restriction is clearly listed in the work contract, and it is something that the dwarves are not allowed to do.
The dwarves were divided into two groups according to their specialties and preferences. The nine dwarves who had previously followed Rogin to Hutt Island also decided to stay in the Far North Territory to work, so now there are a total of 9 dwarves.
Before Rogin contacted the remaining 21 dwarves to come to the Far North Territory, there were only 30 dwarves left in Good City, and the remaining 49 dwarves chose to dig tunnels.
Since the Lord of the Snowfields would assign 3000 slaves to work with the dwarves to dig tunnels, the 49 dwarves did not find it difficult to face such a large project. The dwarves had plenty of ways to lead the slaves to dig tunnels that met the Lord of the Snowfields' requirements in the shortest possible time.
However, the shortest time is four to five years. Therefore, before the tunnel is dug, if you want to go to Hutt Island, you can only take a hot air balloon or set up a large space teleportation magic circle.
There was no magician in the Far North who could draw such a large magic circle, and there were only a few magicians who were good at space magic. Xie Wei didn't know much about space magic circles, but he got a lot of useful magic books from Rafa, who also told him secretly.
Mr. Irel is a magician who is very good at space magic. Perhaps he could discuss this with him.
After meeting the black-haired magician, Xie Wei actually wanted to interact more with him, but he was worried that Sal would be jealous. He was also not good at taking the initiative to interact with people, so he was hesitant. Especially when Sal told him that the other party was sick, he didn't know whether he should disturb him.
However, he only hesitated for less than a day, and then he went to visit Mr. Iriel at his residence in the annex building, bringing with him the vegetable oatmeal porridge he had cooked himself.
Visiting the sick and discussing magical knowledge, the reasons were sufficient and the motives were simple, even Thrall couldn't find any fault with it.
There is less than a week left before winter and the temperature has begun to drop. Xie Wei is wearing thick clothes and a full set of cold-proof gear, but this cannot reassure Sal and the people around him, so he will gradually reduce the number of times he goes out.
Ever since Sommer and Sona came to Naya Castle, Xie Wei has received twice as much care. Although this kind of love from a partner and a junior is a bit excessive, it is really impossible to refuse.
Fortunately, he just couldn't go outdoors often. He could go to the various annexes through the castle's corridor bridge to meet his friends, instead of staying in the bedroom like last winter.
Sitting by the fireplace in Mr. Irel's room, Xie Wei watched the black-haired magician opposite him skillfully stroking the baby dragon lying on his legs, and Flos, who was being stroked by him, even made a "purring" sound, which represented pleasure and enjoyment.
Xie Wei pretended to be calm, but his ears were red. The mood of the contracted beast would affect its contracted partner. Xie Wei could feel that Flos was extremely happy now, and he was also... a little happy.
This feeling of happiness was very strange, and different from the pleasure that Sal brought him. If I had to describe it, it was the feeling that made him feel safe and comfortable.
Xie Wei and Iriel sat opposite each other in the not-so-spacious living room. Xie Wei did not ask the other about space magic right away, but after the other had finished the porridge he brought and his lips were not so pale, they chatted for more than an hour before turning the topic to space magic.
Iriel was not surprised that Xie Wei came to him to discuss space magic. Even if Xie Wei did not come on his own initiative, he would go to Xie Wei later.
But he was here for another thing, which was the defensive magic circle of the Far North Territory.
He heard from Rafa that the magic circle in the Far North Territory was created by Shewei himself. Considering Shewei's age and the conditions for learning magic, in Iriel's opinion, Shewei is undoubtedly an extremely talented magician.
"I will stay in Naya Castle for a while, and Rafa and I will teach you before spring." Irel habitually settled things directly, and only then did he remember that the person opposite him was not his subordinate.
So he asked one more question.
"Is that okay?"
Xie Wei's amber eyes instantly brightened up. Of course! Mr. Irel is an extremely excellent magician. Xie Wei has a feeling that after this winter, he will be extremely powerful! (clenched fist)
The Lord of the Snowfields practices an encouraging education, so Xie Wei is now very confident under all the praises from Thrall! Rafa's teaching is more conventional, and Xie Wei learns easily.
All in all, Xie Wei still doesn't know how he will be crushed by the opponent in the next few months.
He nodded expectantly and gave the black-haired magician a shy smile: "Then I'll trouble you."
The black-haired magician, with his handsome face still cold, touched the belly of the young dragon with his fingers. His deep blue eyes were fixed on the person opposite him, but his eyes seemed to be looking through Xie Wei to somewhere farther away.
……
The people of Paraso were very busy before winter. The previous red moon caused considerable damage to the city of Gute. Fortunately, the people of Paraso did not have to worry about food storage this year, and everyone's mentality was much more optimistic than in previous years.
Another thing worth mentioning is that although many Paraso warriors were injured in the previous Red Moon, miraculously no one died. Paraso warriors who had seen Frost spread the news that the Frost Dragon was born in Naya Castle and recognized the Imperial Rose as its master.
Everyone saw the falling snow on the night of the Red Moon. Unlike the rumors that were maliciously spread in Gut City but were quickly stopped by the Lord of the Snowfield, after the injuries of their relatives improved, the Paraso people who had originally been resentful of the Imperial Rose now calmed down and firmly believed that the Imperial Rose was the Yagne bestowed by Nayasos on the Snowfield.
Before, Xie Wei fulfilled the duties of the lord on behalf of Sal. After clear instructions were issued, anyone who was not too stupid could see that the Imperial Rose was sincerely planning the future for the Paraso people and wanted to let the people live a better life.
In addition to the territorial plans that make people yearn for it, the Imperial Rose also designed magic props that can take people to the sky...
In short, Xie Wei's reputation reached an unprecedented height in a short period of time, and the Lord of the Snowfield was happy to see it. He was even proud enough to show off everywhere.
However, as he is currently very busy with official duties, the Lord of the Snowfield can only silently suppress his desire to show off his partner.
The retainers who followed the imperial envoys to Hutt Island have completely taken over Hutt Island. Not only that, they also had a small conflict with the imperial guards left on the island.
The Imperials never figured out when the residents of the island disappeared en masse. In short, on the day when the Imperials brought the Parasos to Hutt Island, the Imperial official in charge of the handover with the Parasos collapsed to the ground with a pale face after the Parasos magician lifted the phantom barrier. He dared not say a word in the face of the Parasos' questioning. Only when the guards on the island clashed with the Parasos did he get up and try his best to stop the two sides from fighting.
The scam of the transaction has been exposed. If something happens to the Parasos on Hutt Island again, the current Lord of the Snowfield will do something to cause headaches for the empire. At that time, there is no doubt that he will become the first cannon fodder under the wrath of the Lord of the Snowfield.
Although he is now destined to be a cannon fodder, there is a difference between cannon fodder and cannon fodder. In the current situation, he can still save his own life, but if a Paraso dies, he will not be able to survive even if he has eight lives!
