Chapter 134: The Beginning of the Conquest

  After the rainy season ended, four months passed quickly, and every day was bustling with construction in Thunder Bluff. The Sault people, who now have a good understanding of Thunder Bluff, are no longer as worried as they used to be, fearing that their children would accidentally run out of the house and end up in the belly of the monster.

  The demons' execution of the leader's orders is not something that humans with malicious intentions can compare to. The Minotaur's order not to harm the humans in the city was obeyed by every single demon, and this obedience to their leader is something that all living beings would admire. They do not question whether the order is correct or not, they just follow it as instructed.

  It's precisely because of this relationship that recently, the Sartreans and the Dwarves have been pouring into Thunder Cliff in large numbers. Because here, it can be said that there is a welfare system that owns the entire Eran, or even the entire continent, with free medical care and education, and initially even free housing.

  These facilities, which require high maintenance costs, are open to the citizens of Thunder for free and have a salary that is not low. Many people cannot resist the temptation of these benefits before they really let go, and come to work in Thunder Cliff at the risk of being eaten by monsters. After most people really understand Thunder Cliff, such a wave has burst out even more.

  The large number of immigrants has made Thunder Bluff, which had many job openings, somewhat unbearable and began to restrict the number of Salties immigrants. The new immigration policy is no longer as it used to be, where anyone who was physically healthy could get a good house in Thunder Bluff and enjoy various benefits for free.

  Nowadays, to enter the Thunder Cliff, one must have a skill that can be taken out of hand, and also need to obtain a professional certificate for the skills they possess in a specially set up department. And because of the problem of the rascals who were integrated into the Thunder Cliff earlier, to enter the Thunder Cliff, you also need a proof from your original city, only those without a criminal record will be considered.

  In the beginning, there were some people who followed the merchant caravan to Thunder Bluff, only to find that they did not meet the requirements or had not obtained the necessary documents, and had to return in disappointment or settle in other cities like Orgrimmar. Later on, many people heard that special requirements were needed to live in Thunder Bluff, so at night, they would go to the embassy of Thunder Bluff in various cities to inquire about immigration requirements and obtain a statement.

  Raiden Cliff is a city on the Hill continent that has never been seen before, with an income that can almost match the total of all cities in Ailan, and it is still increasing continuously. With a lot of financial leeway, while renovating its own White House, it also started building Iron Furnace Fortress near Yuliko Mountain.

  Not to mention the various mineral deposits in Yuliko Mountain, just the large number of abandoned magic arrays in the ruins are enough for Mo Yan to build a city there. All the magical materials in Eran can be said to be there, and if they are dug out and handed over to Riesz for dismantling, an unimaginable amount of materials can be obtained, not only can meet the needs of Leizhou Cliff but also export them externally.

  When Mo Yan told Rietz about this idea, Rietz was stunned for almost a minute before sighing and saying to Mo Yan: "Either you bring in a large number of mages to help me do it together, or even if I start doing it now without stopping until I die of old age, I won't be able to complete even one-tenth of the total amount. Do you really understand what kind of massive project it is to dismantle all the materials there?"

  Mo Yan certainly couldn't let a great master do some work that any master can do, there are still many things in the Thunder Ridge that need Ritz to handle. During the rainy season, in order to engrave the spell array on the airship, Ritz had been staying in District 51 all along, until the entire magic system was completed before returning to rest.

  Mo Yan couldn't help but admire Ritz's work enthusiasm, as long as it was something he was interested in, he could even work tirelessly without rest. When Mo Yan went to Area 51 to check on the progress of the airship and solve some new problems that had arisen, he saw Ritz with a head full of white hair disheveled like an explosion, looking like a mad scientist, which gave him quite a fright. Normally, Ritz was very particular about his appearance, always keeping his hair and beard neatly combed.

  Raiden Cliff lacks a spellcaster, which is indeed a big problem and makes Mo Yan somewhat headache. The Sart people of Ailan and the gray dwarves of the underground city do not have magical talents to become mages. And in the countries of Zhongyuan, all mages are like treasures, and each kingdom will not let them leave easily.

  Mo Yan had once asked the witch through a crystal ball if there were any wealthy spellcasters in his castle who could spare some for Lei Tingjia. Without waiting for the witch to refuse, Mo Yan knew he was being foolish. Even if the witch did have extra spellcasters, why would he give them to Lei Tingjia? The headless knight had only been sent because the journey back was too far and the witch feared she would be killed on the way before she could return.

  Mo Yan didn't wait for Wu Yao to respond, and hastily explained that he was just joking. Then they chatted about some useless things before hanging up the communication. Mo Yan went to reflect on his actions in secret. However, it was Regal who unintentionally heard Mo Yan's complaints during a report on the progress of their task and proposed a feasible solution to solve the problem.

  "Are we missing a spellcaster?" Regal thought for a moment, his arms crossed in the office. "Although various countries have strict control over spellcasters, it's not that they can't be recruited. However, I don't know if those spellcasters are suitable to come to Thundercliff. They are mostly wanted for various reasons and are very dangerous and unstable."

  Although most mages are law-abiding and the national laws are lenient towards them, there will always be a portion of people who, for various reasons, embark on the path of evil rebellion. An alchemist who lost his left hand and leg in an attempt to revive his mother through forbidden experiments. A white-robed wizard who was tempted by a summoned demon into plotting to overthrow the nation, ultimately failing when surrounded by the military and jumping off his own mage tower to commit suicide.

  These people are all very powerful, but at the same time they are also dangerous and difficult to control. They will do anything for valuable spellcasting materials or money, and if they come to Thundercliff, who knows what kind of trouble they might stir up.

  "Is it dangerous? Some dangers are still tolerable." Mo Yan leaned back in his chair, thought for a moment and said: "What I'm more concerned about is how to recruit them. When these casters arrive at Thunder Ridge, I'll make my selection. If they're really too dangerous, I won't keep them. After all, I can't completely reject them without even seeing their faces."

  "This is indeed the case." Regal nodded and said, "I will send someone to follow the next merchant group to Carthage and Marlo, and release the recruitment information of Thunder Cliff through a special channel. Probably two or three months later, those wizards who want to come to Thunder Cliff will arrive at Thunder Cliff."

  To find these wanted guys, of course, it's impossible to loudly shout everywhere. There needs to be someone who provides intelligence, secretly leaking the information to specific people, in order for those well-hidden practitioners to hear about it. There is a whole black chain behind this, which outsiders wouldn't understand.

  After handing this matter over to Regal, Mo Yan could only wait for news temporarily. Before those dangerous casters arrived at Thundercliff, Thundercliff could only rely on Ritz alone, hoping that he wouldn't exhaust himself due to the increasingly heavy workload, after all, Ritz was no longer young.

  As the days went by, Mo Yan received a letter from Ankude, written by Harte, whom Mo Yan estimated he would never forget in this life. Upon seeing the beautifully written name on the envelope, Harte's face, which looked decent but was actually devoid of any charm, appeared in Mo Yan's mind.

  When attacking the City of Parliament, the weapon called "cannon" used by Thunder Cliff attracted the attention of all cities in Ailan. And it was at that time that Hart got in touch with Mo Yan, who didn't think this person was just for cannon, and lingered in his camp for so long.

  In the last letter's probe, Hart also gave a very positive response, he had an extremely strong desire for power. Even if it means cooperating with demons to gain power, that is Hart's true intention, he will pay any price to gain power.

  And Harte indeed had a keen eye, he believed that the increasingly powerful Thunder Cliff would not be content with just the surrounding area. In the future, Thunder Cliff will inevitably seek to expand in various ways, and the strong power it possesses will not be something that the people of Sault can resist. It's better to establish contact with the master of Thunder Cliff ahead of time and become the lord of Ankud or even obtain a higher position with his help.

  "It's also time to start the strategy for Eland, huh." Mo Yan said after reading this letter that was flattering in the first half and talked about a plan to support himself to power, Mo Yan closed his eyes and thought for a while, muttering to himself: "To control the entire Eland under my palm, haha... ahahaha..."

  "What's wrong?" Emily pushed open the door and walked in, asking the cow-headed man who was smiling with an unusually evil grin.

  "Nothing... just practicing the Demon King's laugh." The Minotaur quickly straightened his body, put away the chuuni expression that hadn't fully recovered, and pretended to be working on documents.
