Chapter 150: Making a Magic Circle (Part I)
"Alicia, listen to me explain it to you. Luo Heng didn't expect Alicia to react so much, and said soothingly.
"We've been good enough for them. Alicia said dissatisfied.
When Luo Heng heard this, he was actually not surprised, because among orcs, the hierarchical relationship was very large.
The identity of a swan man or a priest is the top level, and as for what werewolves are, they can only be regarded as third-rate levels.
Besides, this is related to their own interests, Alicia, this ice fortress has become her own territory, and it is a large expense to pay benefits.
"The welfare I am talking about is not free, but so that everyone in our fortress can buy things in our fortress at a lower price, of course, it is limited, such as 300 catties of grain a year, or 50 catties of salted meat jerky, and another three or five years can buy a weapon at a low price, which is this kind of welfare. Luo Heng said.
"Isn't that a very low cost price?" Alicia asked, knowing that the cost price was very low.
"Alicia, the cost price is just what we said, and it will be reduced by a third according to the current price reduction. Luo Heng said.
"Isn't 300 catties too much? You know, the temple guards or something, we give out food for free, and we give them food for free. Alicia asked.
"No, no, three hundred catties is not much, we just earn less, not nothing. Luo Heng was speechless, three hundred catties of grain sounds like a lot, and when it is brought to modern society, the family eats it for half a year.
But on the orc side, don't say half a year, half a month one eats alone.
Even ordinary civilians in this world have no problem eating three or four catties of food a day, mainly because the intake of food is very simple.
After all, in modern society, there are many kinds of food, just look at the vegetable market.
"Alright then, but we can't add more people. Alicia also knew that this was a means to win people's hearts, so she had to agree.
"The rest is up to you. Luo Heng opened his mouth and said, glad that the two women were separated, they were both busy with a mess of things, and if they saw each other less, there would be no contradictions.
This is certainly not intentional, but formed unintentionally.
There is nothing to do here for the time being, and Luo Heng, who is welfare or something, will not come forward, let Alicia come forward and try to weaken her influence.
But as long as they control the logistics and food, and there are giant guards who are Luo Heng's men, the others will not be able to make any waves.
Back to the Dukedom, I looked around, and the wheat seedlings in the farmland were already more than ten centimeters tall, and the temperature difference between day and night was relatively large, so there were relatively few insect pests.
Magic airships rise and fall every day, and caravans carrying food and alcohol line up across the creek every day.
Strangers are not allowed to enter the territory, so they trade on the wooden bridge, and one caravan after another comes.
On the opposite side of Baron William's domain, along the river bank, many houses have been built, mainly warehouses, taverns and so on.
However, Luo Heng had already said hello, and he was not allowed to discharge sewage into the river, otherwise he would not want to do business here.
Angus assists in the work of security guards, and the guards of giants and orcs put on their equipment and take on metal weapons, plus half-elf marksmen, and occasionally someone touches them and throws them out of the corpse.
A meeting was held and the reports of all parties were listened to, although Luo Heng knew a lot of things, but it was still necessary to hold a meeting in this form.
"Nicole, I'm already a mid-level magician. Luo Heng couldn't help but say in Nicole's ear, Nicole encountered something more exciting, and it was crazy when she encountered something.
"Intermediate magician?" Nicole came to her senses when she heard this.
"Yes, level four. Luo Heng said with a smile.
"Cheney, are you lying, intermediate magician, this can't be?" Nicole sat up in disbelief.
Luo Heng hurriedly pressed Nicole down and covered the quilt, this season is very troublesome, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and it is a little too hot with heating, and it is a little cold if you don't use it.
"How can you lie, I just want you to meditate more in the future. Luo Heng thought about the issue of lifespan, did he want to change women halfway, thinking of Nicole's appearance of the old dragon clock after a few decades, Luo Heng was a little difficult to accept.
For a while, there was nothing else to think about.
"You show me. "Nicole still doesn't believe it, intermediate magician, how is it possible?
Luo Heng opened his mouth and said, "You have a good look. ”
After lighting the candle, Luo Heng sat on the bed~, and a gray space blade appeared in his hand.
As soon as the space blade appeared, Nicole was shocked, and the space around the space blade was a little distorted, just like the heat flow formed by the space blade.
"Intermediate space magician, do you see it, this is given to me by Master Maddie, I will be a disciple of Master Maddie in the future, Nicole, you also have to practice well, magic crystals, magic cores, staffs and everything will be handed over to me, I don't want your skin to be loose in a few decades, your chest ~ part is sagging, your chest ~ part is so big, once it is shriveled and sagging, it will ....... Luo Heng said.
Nicole covered Luo Heng's mouth all of a sudden, because what Luo Heng said about Nicole had goosebumps, and that kind of old man's appearance made Nicole think of her old grandmother.
"Cheney, you're going to help me. Nicole was really frightened, on the one hand, she was frightened by Luo Heng's status as an intermediate space magician, and on the other hand, she was frightened by the situation that Luo Heng said.
"Nicole, give me the magic book you studied, and I'll give you a closer look. Luo Heng knew his advantage, but he didn't know if he could help Nicole with cultivation.
In addition, there are also battle armors, but on the one hand, Luo Heng doesn't want Nicole to take risks, because Nicole's personality and Alicia are two completely different people.
The experiences of the two are completely different, Alicia has a strong personality, while Nicole is more dependent on others.
This has something to do with the living environment of the two.
"Good. When Nicole heard Luo Heng say this, she didn't have the slightest doubt, but had some expectations, because after all, Luo Heng was an intermediate magician.
Nicole didn't know what the space mage was about, but Nicole knew who Maddie was, one of the legends of the Academy of Magic.
Then the two didn't continue anything, just hugged each other and slept together.
The next day, Luo Heng brought the big housekeeper Gary, and after Gary saw Luo Heng, he directly visited him.
"Gary, I'm going to set up a small academy. Luo Heng said.
Gary knew that Luo Heng was asking himself, so he asked, "Your Excellency, what kind of academy is being established?"
"The technical college, to be precise, serves our territory, I think that even growing food requires technology, so I decided to open agriculture, animal husbandry, and forging three aspects. Luo Heng said.
"Your Excellency, I'm afraid this is a little bad. Gary replied tactfully.
When Luo Heng heard this, he asked a little strangely, "Why?"
"Your Excellency, in fact, in the lower classes, there is also a distinction between high and low, technology is not something that anyone wants to learn, many people who have technology, even if others give more money, will not teach others, because many of these people will teach their descendants, these craftsmen will think that it is better to give a technique to future generations than to leave more money. Gary spoke.
"Then I'm just teaching them to know words, is it okay?" Luo Heng didn't push it hard, but continued to ask.
Even if it's the same world, the culture is different, and there are other ways to be very different.
"Your Excellency, there are many kinds of words, the simplest numbers, noble words, and magic words, the words of the nobles are not nobles, they cannot be used, as for the magic words, there are more, simple numbers, after learning, they are not of much use, at least for the territory. Gary spoke.
When Luo Heng heard this, he was a little stunned, and then asked, "What about the common script of the mainland?"
"This is okay, but it is not very useful for the territory. Gary spoke again.
When Luo Heng heard this, he opened his mouth and said, "Then teach the common script of the mainland, at least be able to write your own name." ”
"Yes. ”。
"People in the territory can know and write ten words, reward ten silver coins, be able to write a hundred words, reward one gold coin, be able to write a thousand, reward one hundred gold coins, and there is no limit to the number of people recruited. Luo Heng decided to handle the academy first, and talk about the rest later.
Luo Heng felt that the professor of forging would not be willing to touch the dwarf clan, and in the same way, forging should also have strong strength and a slightly higher IQ.
The human strength in the territory is weak, and the orcs are powerful, but the IQ is not very high, so Luo Heng decided to wait.
As for craftsmen such as carpentry, in front of Luo Heng, a person who is proficient in machinery, it is nothing.
But now is not the time to do this, first to deal with the potential threat from the Ice Fortress.
The establishment of the academy was handed over to Gary, and Luo Heng looked through Nicole's magic book.
The principles of magic are much the same, at least in terms of meditation, in terms of the release of magic, it is the same.
"Nicole, what are your main problems?" Luo Heng asked.
"The efficiency of meditation, I can only absorb 50%. Nicole began.
This is indeed a bit low, Luo Heng opened his mouth and asked, "Can you use the auxiliary magic array to improve the efficiency of meditation?"
"Of course this is okay, but the use of the magic array is too costly. Nicole nodded.
"Then I'll make you a secondary magic array. Luo Heng originally wanted to directly deliver magic power to Nicole, but he didn't know if there would be any problems, so he simply used the auxiliary magic array.
The auxiliary magic array is to increase the concentration of specific elements in the space, so that the same meditation absorbs more magic elements.
"You can make a magic array!" Nicole looked at Luo Heng in shock.
"I guess I bought it. Emma said.
