Chapter 203: The Prototype of the Infrastructure Maniac
In fact, the large army of underground immigrants led by Fischer was not the first echelon to arrive.
One of the construction workers who had been working on the North Tunnel had already started their steam locomotives to build a makeshift base in the mountains almost as soon as Levi and the others left the Griffin Mountains on their front feet.
Therefore, when those underground immigrants who originally thought they would see a desolation just walked out of the portal, they saw the first scene, in front of the mountain peak with dangerous terrain, more than 300 steam locomotives of all kinds spewed out white air columns that soared into the sky, and at the same time worked together to level the land!
This is also what Levi meant, in his impression, because the floors of the Corer continent are generally not high, so there are no too high requirements for the depth of the foundation.
But what he wants to build now is a majestic city that relies on the griffin mountain range itself, and is as high as five ladder-shaped giant platforms that are raised in succession.
And considering the possible orc offensive and defensive battles in the future, don't put a row of catapults there and smash them down and collapse, it will become a black joke spread throughout the entire Korrell continent.
Therefore, Levi's requirements for the city's resistance to beating are directly based on being able to resist the invasion of the abyss.
That is, the kind that was smashed down by a hellfire meteor shower summoned by the demon lord, and still able to persevere.
This made Tiger, who was the chief engineer of the construction technology at the time, feel bald, and said that even the original Iron Molten Castle of their gray dwarves did not have such a perverted request.
But he did not dare to say it, because he would probably come to a conclusion that he should have taken for granted
"That's why your Iron Forge fell into the hands of the Psionic Monsters. β
What else can they say, can it be explained that the Spirit Sucker didn't take the city by storming it at all!
Instead, it directly turned the city lord into a puppet in the way of psionic control, and gradually corroded it from top to bottom.
By the time the gray dwarves at their bottom reflected, the dominance of the entire city had already been taken over by the psionic monsters.
But can he argue with his boss like that?
Isn't that an old dwarf hanging himself?
To this end, Tiger also did not hesitate to try to find the Moon Elves and Iggy's War Tactics who have experience in this field of architectural design to brainstorm and find a solution.
As a result, he really found it, that is, the blueprint of the capital construction of the ancient empire of the moon elves located in the supreme forest.
If it was more than 400 years ago, when the ancient empire of Yerlan was still alive, this kind of pie from the sky would not have been thought of.
But with the establishment of the Hell Gate Fort and the invasion of the Abyssal Demons, the ancient empire of Yerlan was destroyed.
Before this behemoth was about to be lost, the nobles of the Elven royal family were also preparing to transfer important items in their hands.
In order to prevent the loss of this kind of design drawings on the way to transfer, the elf who was in charge of the drawings at that time copied several copies of the drawings and handed them to his children, so that even if a few of them were lost in the inheritance of the years, as long as there was a possibility of preserving.
As a result, one of the parts in charge of this preservation was saved to the Dark Lands along with its master's captivity by Drow
I'm sure many people have already guessed who this unlucky guy is
He was Lucifer's poor old father who had worked to death.
But design drawings are such a thing, and Drow is dismissive of them.
They didn't even expect to see the Drow unite to attack the surface continent in their lifetime, so it was of little use to them.
Of course, if it is a hand-drawn drawing of the original High Elves, it may still have a good collectible value.
But this kind of fake reproduced on parchment with magic is too rough to rub the butt!
It is because of this drawing that it has been kept in the library of the Benjir mistress, and has not been cared for.
After Tiger communicated this problem with Lucifer, the latter was silent for a long time, and the next day he got the drawing in his hands and solemnly handed it to old Tiger.
In his own words, it is, "This may be my father's unfulfilled wish back then, and if it can be passed on and let Yerlan bloom again in Corell in another way, then my father, who has not been able to go to the kingdom of God as he wished, will be able to comfort his life when he looks up at the sky in hell." This is another victory for him, who has fought all his life. β
At the same time, Lucifer also handed over a seed of an elven tree to Tiger.
It was the seed of the grandfather's tree.
The spirit symbol of the Yerlan Moon Elves was once there.
According to the details on the drawings, the capital of Yerlan was built directly on the mountain of the Lost Peak, which was also called the Sky Peak.
It's just that many of their design concepts and reinforcement methods rely on the root system of their grandfather's tree, plus the seeds of various ancient trees are catalyzed by the druid's magic magic.
They don't have the Grandfather's Tree, they don't have the Ancient Tree Seed, they don't have the Druids, but they still have a group of mages!
Some engineering problems that are usually difficult to solve can be cleverly solved through various spells.
That's why the various impregnable fortresses among the human race are not the capitals of the human city-states, but the mage towers that are full of whimsy and practice!
And before the Battle of Dragonfall, the two main elven cities used this idea.
However, their city defense relies more on their unique dark magic βββ the Lost Lock.
And on the drawings, it is precisely a puzzle lock that conceals the three major puzzle building techniques of the Yeerlan Empire back then, which is the only capital that the High Elves stood in the world back then.
I don't know if the drows knew about the high elves' locking technique and lay quietly in their library for nearly a hundred years, and they missed it because they were not taken seriously, and they didn't know if they would regret it and shut themselves up on the spot.
Anyway, when Levi learned about this, Le's teeth almost flew with laughter.
But when he saw the cost of materials needed to build those puzzles, he instantly shut himself up on the spot
Not to mention the magic materials that can easily consume all the savings of their Zelandia for more than ten years, there are two main materials, which are actually artifacts, can you believe it??
He doesn't believe in God at all, where can he find an artifact, go to Aunt Tiamat to sell himself?
Is it good that you can't sell your body for the price of an artifact?
But after thinking about it, the mind is balanced
Because as far as he knew, the magic locks at the top of Corell were indeed powered by artifacts.
For example, the Mies Mystery Lock in Silvermoon City, the core of which comes from Comanso's destroyed Miszronor, although it is not known what kind of artifact it is, but it is mostly related to Mystra and the god of magic, Azus.
And the core of the Floating Mountain Range 'Soft Wing' of the Silver Moon Dragon Mother is the famous Alpine Crown.
The secret to making the entire mountain range float is the permanent and constant effect of this artifact.
Levi had seen it on the top of the Mother of the Silver Moon's head, and its appearance was even worthy of the name 'Crown'.
It looks like a rough stone ring with spikes.
Its true origin is probably unknown to even its owner, the Silver Moon Dragon Mother herself.
Some say it was a gift from the dwarven gods to his people, while mages tend to believe that it was designed and made by the Warlock King of Netheriel.
For its first appearance was indeed in the hands of a Grand Arcanist.
After being destroyed and lost, Netherel was stolen by two dwarves from the human trader and disappeared again.
When it reappeared, it became the treasure of the Dragon Queen Merogaran, and a priest of Talos used divine magic to hollow out half of the archipelago and steal it.
As for how it ended up in the hands of Veramarandais, the Silvermoon Dragon Mother, it's still a mystery.
According to some rumors in the Northlands, it seems that the Silvermoon Dragon Mother met a dying dragon king and cast a pain-relieving spell for her, allowing her to leave the world with dignity at the end of the dragon's life, thus inheriting the crown and the northland's territory from the dragon king.
Even if you don't mention the preciousness and rarity of the artifact, just by looking at how many times this artifact has changed hands, you can know how many powerful beings in the world covet them.
So Levi basically gave up the idea of looking for the artifact, because even if he found it at this stage, he couldn't keep it.
But fortunately, Lucifer gave him another option.
That is the seed of the grandfather's tree.
Once planted and spelled, it can be chained with the city's Locking Device to provide a special enchantment blessing to the entire city.
But what made Levi feel pain was that before this grandfather tree grew, the blessing it could provide with the enchantment effect was pitiful.
Until it reaches the age of 100 years, it can only have a constant effect called it, which is about enough to prolong the health of the creatures in the entire city, and provide about 10% of the healing effect to the caster of the healing spell.
Even when he reached the first hundred years of growth, it was just one more spell that summoned ten ancient trees of war
Levi thought to himself, this ancient tree of war is probably not as strong as the large trebuchet or even artillery they have made back to build
Compare the effect of the Silver Moon Lock, it's simply a weak chicken, a fighter among rookies!
"I don't know if I can use some way to ripen it, why do I have to make a thousand-year-old tree effect to see it?"
Levi was floating in the air at the moment, frowning at the design drawings of Yeerlan, rubbing his chin and thinking.
After all, Netheriel, who was at the pinnacle of human civilization that was so powerful back then, Yeerlan, the ancient elven kingdom, and Danzo, the dwarven kingdom, all disappeared in the dust of history one after another.
He really had to guard against it.
There are so many threats on the continent of Corell!
For example, after Netheriel's destruction, he was sealed by the Saren Spirits.
Destroyed the abyss demon army of the ancient elven kingdom of Yerlan.
The dwarven kingdom of Danzo Shock fell apart, and one after another turned to the orc tribes of Komanso.
There is also the Dragon Worship Cult that was raised by Samast back then, which is a powerful force that controls at least four or more legendary dragon lichs.
If it weren't for the god of the dawn, Loshanda, who had taken down the leader of Samast in the world, God knows if Silvermoon City would have survived the dragon plague.
At this moment, the whistle of a steam locomotive behind him interrupted his train of thought.
"No matter, let's start construction first, otherwise we won't even be able to keep people. β
Levi glanced back at the four steam locomotives heading towards the Griffin Mountains, and said to Fisher and the seventy-one mid-level mages who had already come out of the portal
"Fischer, Holtz, inform you, everyone is in place, you can't just let the workers of the Railway Heavy Industry Branch be busy. β
"Roger!
Fei She said to the seventy-one mages who had been screened out separately and reorganized, "The boss has spoken, everyone is in place, and the infrastructure work and the more than forty of you who have apprentice interview tasks are completed, and you can be granted seven days off and go back to your own home to visit your relatives!"
This sentence also cheered up the group of mages who had been inclined to be rational and calm, and they all rose into the air and arrived at the position of the rehearsal in the meeting according to the best plan of Kaka's calculation, and then the sound of incantations began to echo in the air.
On the other side, Holtz also commanded the gnolls of his inspection team to ride on the underground monitor lizard, and arranged for the 8,000 people of various races who had already come out to start camping.
This includes logging, the construction of temporary camps, communal latrines, canteens, and baggage barracks.
Especially toilets!
You must know that when he first entered Zeelandia, he saw the domestic waste water and excrement accumulated in the stinky ditch in front of every house, which made him sick enough.
And the first thing he did after reunifying Zelandia was to ask Tiger to build public toilets and plan the living habits of the residents, and the violators spanked them in public in the square on the spot.
Whipped by the gnolls with the head of a drow!
There are more people with blooming buttocks, and there are naturally fewer people who dare to poop.
Therefore, more than ten years have passed, and the people of Zelandia have long developed the most basic living habits.
As for the question of the construction of temporary camps.
Holtz once asked Levi, "Why don't our tribes come up and deal with this kind of thing in advance? Wouldn't that be more efficient?"
But Levi said to him with a serious smile
"When people leave their homeland, they often lose their spiritual sustenance together. Let them follow our plan and start from scratch bit by bit.
"Seeing your own temporary tent standing in the cold wind without falling, and watching the city you built with your own hands rise from the ground day by day at a speed visible to the naked eye, do you feel an inexplicable sense of pride and belonging?"
"Great!"
Holtz's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his tail suddenly wagged as if Erha's tail was plugged into the power supply of a fifth-speed fan.
But Levi's next words made Holtz's tail fall instantly.
"And let them do nothing and sit back and enjoy their success! They want to be beautiful! Don't you need money for the food they eat every day! Give me all the work!"
"Ah, it's the boss. β
Holtz was riding on the back of the monitor lizard in the ground at the moment, with two logs cut from the mountains hanging on both sides, and he couldn't help but sigh in a pun as he watched the orderly progress of all parties and departments in just a short moment under the coordination of all parties and departments relying on the original plan.
When he sat down, the monitor lizard, which was already tired and was about to foam, couldn't help but roll its eyes when he heard his words, if it wasn't for his heart, he really wanted to take this thing off his back.
With another whistle, four multi-section steam locomotives opened their hatches, and more than 2,000 immigrants from Silver Moon and more than 500 people on the original ship rushed out.
And the immigrants who just got off the bus were instantly shocked by what they saw.
"That's a lot of people!"
This is their first feeling.
Originally, when they first got off the boat, they still felt cheated.
But at this moment, when I saw so many people working together in front of me, I was instantly relieved.
Although the feeling of being deceived still lingers in my heart, it is a lot more comfortable.
Human beings are such herd-oriented social agglomeration creatures.
In their eyes, eighty percent of the tens of thousands of people in front of them were all deceived by the white-faced and black-hearted elf merchant Levi who deceived this desolate land in the same way, right?
But more than 10,000 people and 2,000 people are much more promising.
At least in terms of population, tens of thousands of people are definitely worthy of the title of 'town', although it is a far cry from the 'new town' claimed by Mr. Levi.
However, as long as there are many people and work together, it may not take a few years to reach the level of Silvermoon Northland Farm.
Moreover, compared to Silvermoon City, this place is far away from the spine of the world in the north, and the possibility of orcs attacking is much smaller.
"Daddy, look up, mage, so many mages!!"
Just as Herbert was thinking this, his son Anthony suddenly exclaimed.
On the other side, the group of orphans also let out an exclamation in unison.
Their cries also made everyone look up in unison.
I saw dozens of mages in mid-air, led by a red-robed bald head, standing in a pyramid shape, and the red-robed mage's head was shining as if there was a constant flash technique.
With the end of the sound of incantations one after another.
The mages except the bald heads raised their staffs in unison against the towering rock walls of the Griffon Mountains

With the superimposed magic flashes, the entire griffon mountain range's pale limestone walls, which have not changed much after countless years of wind, sun and rain, turned earthy yellow with a clatter like the rapid freezing of water.
Under the precise control of the mages, it is like an extremely standard pyramid.
Immediately, the red-robed mage also stopped the sound of the incantation, and in front of him, a huge fireball that was redder than his skull also condensed.
"Let the flames ~ purify everything ~"
Fischer pretended to be the only line that could make him high now, and then pushed the fireball forward.
And the fireball that condensed everyone's eyes exploded into countless fire meteors halfway through, and scattered on the griffin mountain range that had been soiled on the surface.
Then there was a flurry of explosions and roars.
If it weren't for the large-scale fossils that paved the way for the mud, Fischer's release would have exploded hundreds of small pits.
But these individual fireballs, which were not very powerful, fell on the muddy mountain, causing a massive collapse and disintegration in an instant.
Accompanied by flying dust, a landslide caused by a massive landslide followed!
The immigrants, who were still watching this unprecedented spell show with great interest, saw the sandstorm like a tide of destruction roaring towards them, and suddenly their souls were overwhelmed!
"Oh my God, these crazy people! Are they trying to kill us?"
But just when everyone thought they were going to die in this mudslide and sandstorm.
Levi, who was hunting in the sky robe, also moved, only to see him pointing forward.
The wind rises, the clouds surge.
"The wind is blowing?"
At first it was just a breeze, and then they were horrified to find a frenzied torrent of wind coming from behind them, dissipating the frost from the ground and blowing the terrible sandstorm backwards into the depths of the mountains.
After the vision cleared, when the mudslide that collapsed and surged down the mountain was about to submerge the steam locomotives below the mountain, the sound of incantations sounded one after another.
However, under the coordinated spell cast by dozens of mages, those rushing mud pillars rose into the air, condensing dozens of huge sharp stalagmites in the sky, which were located at the feet of Li Wei and the mages.
At this moment, Levi and the mages slowly turned around, looked at the immigrants who had been stupid because of this scene like a miracle, and said loudly
"Subjects, welcome to our future common home, our new cityβββ Minas Tili!"
After saying this welcome speech, the group of mages who were like seventy-two pillars of demon gods in the eyes of everyone stepped on those giant stone pillars and smashed down to the ground.
With a deafening roar and a heart-wrenching tremor like an earthquake.
The load-bearing pillars of Zeelandia's foundation in Northland New Town were completed.
Levi was basically satisfied with the welcoming ceremony for himself and the Tactics of War.
But I didn't know that this big scene was made, but the new subjects were about to feel that they were about to have a heart attack!
But those children watched the scene that changed the world, and their excited little hands were red.
"I'm going to be a mage, I'm going to be a mage!" the children thought.
But they don't know that after choosing this difficult path, eighty percent of them may become bald in the future
will be to yourself at the moment
What kind of mood do you have?
