"Okay. I know. Ning Yuan nodded, a trace of inexplicable light flashed in his eyes, and then he listened for a while and asked, "It seems to be a little lively outside?" ”

Liu Ying turned around and glanced at the hidden door, turned around and didn't look at Ning Yuan, and continued to bow her head and whispered:

"Sister Mao Qing and Grandpa Hu, Brother Tan Xiong, Mr. Yang, and Lord Xu discussed that the village has not yet been built, and a bonfire banquet will be held in the evening, so that everyone can get familiar with it first."

As he spoke, he raised his head and quietly looked at Ning Yuan and said, "Just now, Brother Tan Xiong also told me to remind adults to participate. ”

"Bonfires?" Ning Yuan showed an interested look when he heard this, thought for a while and asked, "Now that the village chief has nothing, is it okay?" ”

"Please rest assured." Mao Qing's hoarse and charming voice came from outside the door.

When Ning Yuan raised his head when he heard the sound, a kitten-man woman in a tight black Luo skirt had already pushed the door in.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the delicate figure of the kitten man and woman is like a poppy, revealing a seductive and mysterious atmosphere.

Seeing that Ning Yuan showed a somewhat surprised look, Mao Qing raised his hand to cover his mouth and chuckled, and the pure black cat tail behind him shook it lightly, and said, "I am here to invite adults to the banquet on behalf of everyone." By the way, I will report the situation within 20 miles of the village to the adults. ”

"So fast?" Ning Yuan was surprised.

"Three hours is already slow." Mao Qing glanced at Ning Yuan and said, "If it weren't for the suppression of the new household registration, like this kind of plain terrain, I would be able to get detailed information on all the terrain, resources, and the distribution of wild monsters within fifty miles of the surrounding area in an hour at most." Don't doubt my professional abilities. ”

"Okay." Ning Yuan nodded, put away the slightly suspicious look on his face, and apologized, "I apologize to you for the faux pas just now." ”

Then Zhengse said: "Then tell me, how is the surrounding situation?" ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to Liu Ying, who was automatically standing aside after Mao Qing came in, and said, "Help me record it later." On the table there is a pen and paper that you brought with you when the village was founded. ”

"Okay." After Liu Ying answered, she looked at Mao Qing who had already sat down with Ning Yuan.

Mao Qing glanced at Liu Ying, turned her head to look at Ning Yuan, and said, "You chose a good location to build a village." Behind the east side of the village is a steep cliff like a city wall, which directly reduces the pressure on one side of the defense. I've seen it, not to mention ordinary people over there, even if it is a legendary heaven-level master, it is difficult to climb over, so it can be said that there is no need to defend at all. ”

"To the north of the village is the source of drinking water for Longman Lake, so it is very convenient to get drinking water and aquatic products. Moreover, because it is a living water lake formed by the impact of underground torrents, and it is connected to the estuary, there is basically no possibility of being poisoned. Aside from the need to be wary of pirates who might be scurrying in from Dragontail Bay, there is also not much need for defense. ”

After a pause, he added: "Since the closure of the Dragon Prisoner Jedi, there have never been rumors of someone entering the Dragon Prisoner Jedi, so the estuary on the side of Dragon Tail Bay is estimated to be very hidden, and the possibility of being found by pirates is very small. ”

Then he sighed:

"If it weren't for the probe from here, I really didn't expect that the closed Dragon Prison Jedi would form a new path to the outside world. Originally, I was puzzled that someone actually chose to build a village in the Dragon Prison Jedi, but now I can only say that your choice has made me faintly see the rise of a powerful force. ”

Ning Yuan smiled and did not speak.

Mao Qing didn't wait for Ning Yuan's response, and continued: "Although the only direction that the village can expand in the west and south for the time being, the 'Dragon Treasure Land' is worthy of being the 'Dragon Treasure Land'. Within a radius of 20 miles, I found an iron thorn forest resource, an open-pit smelting mine, an associated tin phosphorite mine, a wild Yuqing fruit forest, a shallow rare mine, and two open-pit building stone mines. In total, there is one special resource land, two advanced resource lands, and four regular resource lands. ”

("Ironthorn Forest?") Ironthorn? According to the record of "The First Explanation of Learning", it is a kind of wood with strong fire resistance, very hard texture, and at the same time very tough and elastic high-quality wood materials, which has a very wide range of functions in construction and alchemy. ”）

("Refining ores, fusing dissociative materials.") It is mainly used for the refining and neutralization of composite materials. It is an essential material for refining and alchemy and related refining industries. ”）

("Tin phosphorite, one of the core materials for the ranged weapon 'Refining Guns.'") At the same time, it is also widely used in the refining manufacturing industry. ”）

("Yuqing fruit, a fruit with a variety of medicinal properties according to the year, is the core medicinal material of Yuqing Dan.") At the same time, they all have the value of edible stomach, and they are also one of the auxiliary medicinal materials for refining high-quality Bigu Dan. ”）

("Building stone mainly refers to 'granite' and 'marble', both of which are the main materials used in stone construction. The 'Granite' building has a certain amount of physical resistance, and the 'Stone' has a certain amount of magic resistance. It is the two most widely used building stones on the continent of Nino. ”）

After sorting out the resource information that Li Maoqing said in his brain, Ning Yuan asked, "What are the main types of rare minerals?" ”

"The initial exploration should be that crystals are predominant, and associated gemstones are also available. However, what the real situation is still needs to be tested by professionals. Mao Qing thought for a moment and replied.

("Crystals and gemstones?") Ning Yuan remembered the architectural drawings of the "Well of Resources" in his mind.

The blueprint requires 20 units of each of the four special resources, but the resources rewarded by the system after the village is built are only enough to make up the crystals.

("In that case, the gems will be sufficient.") But the difference between sulfur and mercury is 10 and 15 units, respectively. can only see if Yang Yunyu has a way. ”）

After quietly turning his mind around, Ning Yuan asked the key question:

"So what about the trouble?"

Mao Qing chuckled, looked at Ning Yuan and said, "Adults are very calm." ”

"Let's talk about trouble. Reporting only good news and not bad news is not the work attitude of intelligence officers. Ning Yuan rolled his eyes and said.

("Strange? ”）

"Okay, let's talk about trouble." Mao Qing flicked his tail and said, "If you want to talk about trouble, the trouble faced by the village is really not small. ”

"The closest to the village are two stone mines to the west, a stone forest terrain, only about five miles away, on which two small stone lizard communities are entrenched. The two communities have about 200 wild monsters, at least 40 soldier-level fierce beasts, two captain-level fierce beasts, 60 ordinary fierce beasts close to the military level, and the rest are ordinary fierce beasts and ordinary beasts. ”

Ning Yuan frowned silently.

"There is a wolf beast group in the Yuqing fruit forest about 10 miles south of the village, but it is not clear whether it is small or medium-sized, and it is only detected that it is a wood-type Qingfeng wolf."

"Also 15 miles to the south, there is another genus of wolf beast community entrenched in the iron thorn forest resource area, and the species is the iron grayback wolf, a purely physical wolf beast."

"Wait." Ning Yuan twisted his eyebrows, raised his eyes and asked, "Are the Yuqing Fruit Forest and the Iron Thorn Forest connected?" ”

"Nope." Mao Qing shook his head, "There is a mile of grassland between the Iron Thorn Forest and the Yuqing Fruit Forest. It is presumed to be a buffer zone for the iron-backed gray-backed wolf and the green wind wolf. ”

"Okay." Ning Yuan nodded and said, "You go on." ”

Ning Yuan, who was reclining on the chair of the main seat, fell into a long silence after Mao Qing and Liu Ying went out first to prepare for the bonfire banquet that was about to be held. There is a mixture of tiredness and irritability in his eyes.

If he could, Ning Yuan really wanted to scold the system again now: "You Zuma's play with me, right?" ”

A civilian-level leader is going to play the game of city construction in a group of soldiers, captains, or even earth-level gold school-level monsters, can he still play a little more pit?

No, there are even more pitfalls. There is also a group of wild tribes of unknown scales peeking faintly behind.

"I'm really playing hell-level dungeons with novice-level strength." Ning Yuan rolled his eyes and complained to himself.

Thinking of the information that Mao Qing added later, Ning Yuan felt a feeling of "Dandan's sadness".

"The west side of the iron thorn forest in the south is the smelting mine, an open-pit mine with small hilly terrain, and there is a community of calcite beasts, which is preliminarily inferred to be a small community, but the lair of calcite beasts is deep underground, and there is a certain error in inference according to the number and strength of the ground."

The Stone-Solving Beast is a scaly-armored beast that feeds on ore-refining and resembles a pangolin in appearance, but is much larger. According to the "Preliminary Explanation of Learning", the adult calcite is at least two meters long, but the height of the back is only about 60 centimeters, the limbs are stubby but very good at digging the ground, and the weakness is the soft and scaleless abdomen. In addition, the excrement of the Stone-Solving Beast is an excellent forging additive, which can effectively improve the toughness and vitality of the forged object.

"I remember that the calcite beast is one of the few domesticable beasts, right?" Ning Yuan asked after interrupting Mao Qing's words again.

Mao Qing looked at Ning Yuan's eyes indifferently, and said mockingly: "If you want to find someone to domesticate this calcite beast, then think too much." ”

"Huh?" Ning Yuan was stunned for a moment, didn't care about Mao Qing's tone, and frowned: "Isn't it feasible?" ”

Mao Qing shook the cat's tail and nodded: "If you don't mind delaying for five or six years, it's feasible." Moreover, it is your good fortune to receive a naturalized aboriginal with professional animal taming skills in a short period of time, and the strength of this aboriginal itself must be based on the basic conditions of the ground level gold school level or above. ”

Later, Mao Qing gave Ning Yuan, who still knew little about the common sense of the Nino Continent, a popular science on the beast taming profession on the Nino Continent.

Although it is very common to have summoned beasts on the Neno continent, the professions that actually have beast taming skills are relatively rare, and they are mainly concentrated in the wood spirit clan and the beast clan.

In the Wood Spirit Clan, it is called "Beast Master", and in the Beast Clan, it is called "Beast Summoner". According to the different beasts domesticated and controlled, there are differences in specific names. For example, there is a group of Wood Spirit Clan who is very good at raising a kind of earth-level fierce beast called "Cloud Smoke Sparrow", so the "Beast Master" of this clan is called "Smoke Sparrow Master".

Of course, it doesn't mean that except for the Wood Spirit Clan and the Beast Clan, there are no beast tamer classes in other races. In fact, each race basically has a corresponding beast tamer class, but it is generally inferior to the wood spirit clan and the beast clan in terms of number, professionalism and strength.

However, whether it is the beast tamer profession of other races on the continent, or the "beast master" and "beast summoner", they all have a few things in common. One of the most important points is that the domestication of alien beasts (ferocious beasts) needs to be started from the age of alien (ferocious) beasts. It is best to start taming with the taming skill when the alien (ferocious) beast is still in the egg or before the eyes are opened. If you want to domesticate a young (ferocious) beast, then only if your strength reaches the level of the gold school or above and you have targeted domestication skills, you can have a certain chance of successful domestication. And the domestication period of adult alien (fierce) beasts is basically calculated in years, in which the energy and resources to be consumed are basically more than worth the losses compared with conventional domestication, and the failure rate is very high.

Therefore, if it weren't for some special alien (ferocious) beasts, no beast tamer professional with strength above the ground level would be willing to spend a lot of money to domesticate a young alien (ferocious) beast.

According to Mao Qing's observations, the calcite beast community entrenched in the smelting ore is basically an adult fierce beast, and the calcite is the most common of the domesticable beasts in the Nino Continent. Therefore, in Mao Qing's opinion, Ning Yuan's idea of domesticating the calcite beast was really a common-sense mistake.

Not far from the smelter, on the rocky beach, is a special resource for crystals and gems, which are mixed in the gravel. There is no fierce beast community on it, but there are four gem rhinos with strength above the ground level gold school, and it is inferred that it is a family. Among them, the main one is the Purple General-level male gem rhino, and a female gem rhinoceros of the Golden School level who is close to the Purple General-level is suspected to be her mate. The remaining two slightly immature gold-grade gem rhinoceros should be family cubs.

The gem rhinoceros is named because it wears jewel-shaped scale armor and likes to chew gemstones. A strange beast whose strength is between the earth level and the gold school level to the king level. It is said to be a strange beast because the gem rhinoceros has both the aggressiveness of a fierce beast and the spirituality of a spirit animal, which can be regarded as an existence between a fierce beast and a spirit beast.

Mao Qing did not find the nest of the jewel rhino, and speculated that the nest should be somewhere near Longwan Lake. However, because of the characteristics of the gem rhinoceros chewing gemstones, Mao Qing speculated that the rocky beach should be the active place of the gem rhino.

Because of the special resource ground with the basic strength of the gem rhinoceros wandering in the ground level, Ning Yuan's original plan to first make up the share of gems needed for the "Resource Well" was estimated to have been shelved for a long time. The existence of the strength of the ground level will be equivalent to the existence of the boss for at least a considerable period of time.

If he wanted to build the "Resource Well" in a short period of time, Ning Yuan could only obtain the resources needed for the "Resource Well" through other methods. Whether it is a gemstone or sulfur and mercury.

The south of the village is dominated by woodland resources, while the west is dominated by mineral resources, and the distribution is relatively dense.

The tin phosphorite mine that Mao Qing mentioned is in the low mountainous area about three miles behind the smelting mine. There were no beasts there. But it's even worse.

Mao Qing found traces of human activity in the low mountainous area.

According to Mao Qing, as a high-level resource, tin phosphorite mines usually have a medium-sized beast tribe entrenched, and there will be at least one or more ground-level beast leaders.

The current situation is that there are no fierce beasts there, on the contrary, there are signs of human activity. And among the humans in the Dragon Prison Jedi, all Ning Yuan could think of was the "wild people" who were different from the regular aborigines like Mao Qing.

Being able to exterminate a medium-sized group of fierce beasts with at least one earth-level fierce beast leader, Ning Yuan was very moved when he thought about it.

Based on his half-understood knowledge of the Nino Continent, Ning Yuan made a detailed understanding of the existence of the "wild people" to Mao Qing.

According to Mao Qing, the origin of the "wild people" or "extraterritorial" people was originally those who did not join the new city after losing the city, but chose to wander constantly. Tired of war, they chose to wander constantly to avoid wars between city-states.

The original "extraterritorials" were the indigenous groups formed by the tribes and villages established by these aborigines, who were tired of the wars of the city-state, outside the confines of the city-state, in the mountains and wilderness, and in inaccessible places.

However, because using the city knot will default to the city-state city, the "extraterritorial" people choose not to use the city knot to build the city. However, due to the existence of the rules of the Nino continent, this kind of city can only be built to the scale of a high-level town at most, and once it is exceeded, natural disasters will continue to occur. Moreover, villages built in this way cannot provide the blessings that a city should have.

Originally, for these "extraterritorials", it didn't matter much whether they were blessed or not. They just want a place to rest when they're tired.

But how to put it. Although the "extraterritorials" established tribes and villages in remote areas outside the confines of the city-state, the city-state was constantly expanding.

Of course, with the continuous multiplication of "extraterritorials", more and more land and resources are needed. Conflicts between the city-states and the extraterritorials were inevitable. The only way for city-states to resolve conflicts has always been war. 22
