Chapter 222: Two or Three Things About Territorial Development (1/4)
When he arrived in the territory, Link saw 2 familiar figures, it was his friend Ellet who he hadn't seen for many days, and he was accompanied by the cute little girl Lef. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Elite also saw Link, but was startled by the giant tiger he was riding, and did not dare to step forward for a while. Doras looked at him as if he bared his teeth and snorted disdainfully, "Coward." β
When Link got off his back, it walked to its shack with its head held high and graceful steps.
Well, there are a lot of strangers today, and he has to be a little colder.
Here, Link greeted Ellette with a smile, and when he got closer, he patted him on the back enthusiastically: "Why do you have time to come over this time?" β
The last time I heard that Link controlled level 9 magic to repel the great demon Taruvis, Ellett seemed to be greatly motivated, and after returning to the magic tower, he began to learn magic like crazy, and he usually didn't go out easily, and the level of madness was comparable to that of Link before.
Ellet smiled, pointed to the huge puppet next to him, and pulled Lefu to the side, and said with a smile: "I heard that you spent 15,000 gold coins to customize such a big guy from the academy, so I came over to join in the fun, and it happened that Lefu also wanted to meet her mentor, so I brought her too." β
Love stepped forward and saluted Link earnestly, calling him a mentor.
For this disciple, Link basically let her learn by herself, or entrust it to Verora to teach, he didn't have much time to teach by himself, he felt a little guilty in his heart, patted Lefu's head lightly, and said with a smile: "Then stay here for a few months this time, don't rush back, it just so happens that I am going to build a magic tower, you can see for a long time." β
"Okay." Love was a little worried that Link was too busy to have time, but now that he was allowed, his worries suddenly let go and he smiled sweetly.
"Let's go play now." Link patted the little girl on the shoulder, and the little girl started wandering around the Scorched Earth Ridge camp, well, there are a lot of novelties in this place, like the big talking cat, which is very interesting.
Elett looked at the hot Scorched Earth Ridge, turned his head to look at Link again, and said with emotion: "After becoming a lord, you are obviously the same age as me, but you look much more mature and majestic than me. β
Link laughed, "These things are just appearances, nothing important. Come, let me see this ploughing puppet. β
He walked around the puppet, carefully observing the details.
This puppet is five meters tall, with a humanoid upper body, two huge iron plows forming the lower body, and the upper and lower bodies of the body are made of anti-magic clay, the texture looks a bit like ceramic, and a large number of magic patterns are painted on its surface, and a huge intermediate magic crystal is inlaid on the puppet's chest, which is a magic hub.
Link looked carefully little by little, sometimes nodding, sometimes frowning slightly, this puppet basically meets the requirements, but the workmanship is not very fine, Link has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and it is a little uncomfortable to watch, but he also knows that this kind of engineering puppet does not need to be too fine, so he endured this dissatisfaction.
The magic apprentice who was in charge of the delivery on the side said: "This tilling puppet can turn over 1.5 meters of soil, as long as the magic energy supply is non-stop, it can operate continuously for 24 hours, and it can run for at least a year. β
Link listened attentively, then asked, "How efficient is it?" β
"In the case of the Field Wilderness, if it were a plain with gentle terrain, it could plough 100 acres of land in 24 hours. If it is a sloping land, it is also more than 80 acres. β
100 acres in 24 hours, 3,000 acres in a month, and 36,000 acres in the idea, sounds pretty good, but judging from the situation in the field wilderness, this is still slow.
Link decides to watch the puppets first, and if it works well, he orders a few more.
Finally, he said to the magic apprentice in charge of the delivery, "Yes to my request, thank you for me, Master VosmΓΌnlen, who solved a big problem for me." β
This is a middle-level magic apprentice, judging by his magical aura and dress, he should be a low-level figure in the academy, he gave Link a mage salute, and said extremely respectfully: "It is our honor to solve problems for the master." Since the master was satisfied, I went back. β
Link hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, I'm going to build a large magic tower in the territory, and in terms of finances, I've already made preparations, so please bring this news back to the East Valley." β
Although the old lich Waynes suggested that Link have the High Elves build a magic tower, that was a pure scholar's idea, and Link, as a lord, could not do so.
Because he was born in Donggu, and has a high reputation in Donggu, he is still a candidate for dean, at this time he wants to build a magic tower, but he goes to ask outsiders for help, and Donggu's face is gone.
This is unreasonable, and his relationship with Donggu College is very likely to weaken because of this.
That's really picking up buds and losing watermelons, it's not a good deal.
But the magic of the high elves is indeed profound, and the level is indeed high, so what should I do?
Link's idea is to let the East Valley Academy help build the main body and infrastructure of a large magic tower, but leave a lot of room for functional expansion, and if there is a chance in the future, find a reason that everyone can get by, and it is reasonable to ask the high elves to help.
This is the means of a mature lord.
On this side, as soon as he heard that Link was going to build a magic tower, it was still large, and deep envy flashed in the eyes of this magic apprentice, and Ellett on the side was also full of yearning.
The magic tower is still large, and it is the dream of many magicians for a lifetime.
"Don't worry, I'll bring this news back to the academy immediately."
"Well, it's your pay." Link handed over a money bag.
The apprentice took the money bag, felt his hand sink, and knew that there were at least 20 gold coins in it, which was worth a month's income from his hard work in the magic tower, which made him very happy, and after thanking Link, he didn't rest, and rushed back to the Donggu Magic Academy directly.
Here, Link said to one of the guards, "Go, call the magician Callido." β
"Yes, sir." The guard turned and ran to call someone.
After a while, Carrido trotted over.
Link pointed to the puppet and said: "This is the ploughing puppet, the depth of the soil is up to one meter three, and the operation is also very simple, you take it to the flat land in the south outside the scorched earth ridge to test the effect." β
"No problem." Carrido walked around the puppet and got a brief idea of the puppet's abilities, then he activated the puppet and walked away with the big guy.
After this arrangement, Link was free, and said to Ellett, who was waiting on the side: "I'm really sorry, I've kept you waiting for a long time, let's go, let's go to the wooden house." β
Elite smiled: "It's okay, you're so busy in the academy, I'm used to it." β
The two chatted while walking, and after walking for a while, Elette suddenly saw a black-haired woman with an extremely unique temperament walking out of a wooden house, and said in slight surprise: "Who is that woman?" β
Celine is nominally Link's apprentice, but her peerless appearance and unique temperament, standing among ordinary people, completely stand out from the crowd, as long as she appears, she can be noticed immediately.
There was a camouflage pendant, and Link was not worried that Ellet would find out Celine's abnormality, so he naturally smiled and said, "Her name is Celine. Fran, it's mine...... Good friend, learn some magic from me, too. β
"Good..... Friend? Ellett was stunned, and then he saw Link's gaze, and suddenly his heart suddenly dawned on him, he was still a friend of his own who was not interested in women, but it turned out that he had not met the right person before.
"Haha, I see." Ellett didn't ask much, and continued the previous topic of magic with Link.
When he arrived at the wooden house, Ellett took out his magic notes and asked Link about the doubts he had encountered recently, and Link naturally answered them without concealment, which benefited Ellett a lot.
Time was very fast, and the two slowly stopped talking about magic, and began to talk about the situation in the Norton Kingdom, in this regard, Link did not have Ellett Lingtong, so he was basically listening, and Ellett was talking.
"Well, the situation in the north is starting to reach a stalemate."
"How?" Link asked with concern, he had been busy all this time, and he was a little ignorant of the situation in the north.
Elite sighed, he took a sip of water, and was a little worried: "There have been two major wars in the recent period, and the battle situation is very tragic. It is said that 20,000 soldiers were killed in the battle. The mage who accompanied the army was a little crippled and had difficulty moving, and he also returned to the East Valley, I went to see it, and there was a short leg with a broken hand, and there was a jaw missing, which is said to have been assassinated by the Dark Elf assassin to wipe his throat, and he luckily lowered his head and escaped with his life...... Hey, that's miserable. β
Ellett shook her head again and again, with a look of emotion.
Because of his excellent talent for magic, he was exempted from military service and was able to concentrate on studying magic at the academy, he felt very happy, but he also felt a little guilty in his heart, the kingdom was in trouble, but he stayed comfortably in the rear.
As a result, he went crazy to learn magic to dilute the guilt in his heart.
Link frowned when he heard this: "Twenty thousand soldiers were killed and wounded, could it be that the kingdom lost the battle?" β
"That's not a loss, it's a lose-lose situation. The dark elves also suffered heavy losses, their resistance was much fiercer than before, and now every battle was a real hard battle, and every kilometer to the north would be blessed. β
After saying that, both of them were silent.
After a long time, Link said: "Wang **** has gone too deep, the most important thing to do now is to stabilize the defense line, and he should not continue to go north." β
Ellett smiled bitterly: "That's what I said, but the blood has begun to flow, and everyone is red-eyed, and it's hard to stop." I've heard that the dominant voice in the army is to drive the Dark Elves back to the ground in one fell swoop, and even if there is a sound of stopping, it quickly drowns out the crowd. β
Speaking of which, the half-elf smiled wryly: "Link, you haven't been to Hot Spring City recently, but I have been there once. The people in the capital were irritated by the previous victory, and when they encountered setbacks, they were shouting for revenge, which is really not a good thing, to be honest, I am really afraid ......"
War is most afraid of killing red eyes.
If a person is red-eyed, it is possible to fight to the death with others, and the result is often a murder.
If a kingdom is red-eyed and the people are fanatical, then they don't know if they take a step back to preserve their strength, it is easy for the jade to shatter and collapse, and when the time comes, whether the Norton Kingdom can exist or not will become a problem. (Refer to World War II Germany)
For this situation, Link can't help it, the king **** is composed of various nobles, the nobles who provide a lot of military power, have a lot of right to speak, he basically has no strength now, and he has not contributed much to the northern war situation, and he basically has no right to speak in the kingdom, and no one will listen to him.
The only thing he can do is to develop at full strength.
After thinking about it, Link explained, "Okay, don't mention these troubles. Stay here for a few days and let's have a good chat. β
Today's Link is the pride of Donggu, and for his affairs, Donggu School of Magic is the first place, and it is very efficient.
On the fourth day, a tower-building team composed of 2 magic masters, 8 high-level magicians, and 25 middle- and low-level magicians set out.
Link's Magic Tower is also officially on the agenda. (To be continued.) )
