I don't know if it's to increase the realism of the game or for commercial reasons, the communication distance between the player teams in the game is constantly compressed. Now players on the same team will not be able to contact players directly in the team channel as long as the distance is more than five kilometers. can only use the long-range magic communication stone sold at a high price in the game, this kind of product marked with ** division is actually a spell product launched by the system to collect money in the eyes of players, and the communication distance can reach fifty kilometers.
The most important thing is that this thing can transmit not only sound but also images, but the sad thing is that this special item worth 100,000 gold coins is destined to be a high-end toy that cannot be afforded and used. Whether it is used as a collected spell teleportation array or the communication stone it carries, it is a one-time product, and after using it once, it will be bound, and then the content that continues to be recorded for nearly half an hour will be teleported to the receiving spell teleportation stone at one time and played.
Of course, there are also those that can be used repeatedly, but the price must be multiplied by at least ten, that is, the starting price is more than one million gold coins, and the cost of increasing the number of communication stones will increase by 100,000 gold coins. Such a price naturally scared off most players, and in the end, most players continued to use the original team communication, after all, the communication distance of five kilometers is still acceptable. If you really want to communicate over long distances, players can use offline phone calls, which is a bit troublesome but definitely saves money.
After Su Xinghe left the town of Burkner, he had a completely steady attitude, in fact, within three kilometers of the castle, Chen Kai was escorted by a large army. While clearing the remaining monsters around him, he made the appearance of scaring the snakes. It is of paramount importance to gather information and resources from the region as a whole. For example, huge trees and rare medicinal herbs, etc.
Of course, because of the proximity of this area to the castle, it belongs to a similar area that has been developed, and there are very few rare materials in existence. The trees around the castle are all cut down by the castle's players, except for the wood, which is inherently precious, to be protected. Most of the ordinary trees have been turned into furniture and materials in the workshops of the town of Berkner. It's just that because of the danger of demonized soldiers, the player's range of movement is suppressed within a kilometer outside the castle.
Despite the fact that this distance is very close, in terrain such as the Great Rift Valley, you will hardly see the castle after a kilometer. Chen Kai was also taking a very big risk by letting his troops go so far out of the castle, if those demonized soldiers suddenly attacked them at this distance, then the result might be that only half of the troops would be able to escape back to the castle. But Chen Kai had to take that risk, because the town of Burkner lacked wood, especially large ones. So he had to take advantage of this opportunity to test the reality of those demonized soldiers while cutting enough wood to return to the castle. Of course, in addition, Chen Kai did not have the idea of opening a sentry post outside the castle. However, both the terrain and the surrounding environment doomed this idea to be unrealistic.
The exit of the Great Rift Valley near the town of Burkna is basically the junction of the Hengduan Mountains and the hilly areas of the Northern Plains, which form the Great Rift Valley, and is relatively gentle in terms of topography and topography. But this gentleness is for the roads in the Great Rift Valley and the Hengduan Mountains themselves, which are still fundamentally mountainous, with cliffs and pristine forests. Chen Kai: The section they are walking on now is the road carved on the edge of the cliff. The road is very wide, seven or eight meters, two carriages can be paralleled, but there is a bottomless cliff on the side, and if you fall down, it is basically the end of nine deaths. Therefore, most of the time, both merchants and travelers choose to walk on the inner road rather than on the outer side of the cliff.
Under the trampling of thousands of years of horseshoe shoe prints, this road has gradually shown a very obvious trace of time. The road near the inside is very smooth as it is often walked. However, the road near the outside is very strange, and occasionally there are few traces of carriages that can be seen outside of the wheel prints. At the same time, the outer side of the road was nearly five or six centimeters higher than the inner side, and most of the carriages would not be willing to take the outside road if it were not for the intersection of two carriages.
After sending Su Xinghe three kilometers away. Chen Kai's troops also quickly turned around, pulling the huge trees cut down from the surrounding mountains and forests while walking back quickly. This time it was very lucky. Or maybe the bad situation that Chen Kai expected didn't happen, at least he didn't encounter an attack from the demonized forces of the former lord of Hugodi. However, this time, after that, the range of activities of Chen Kai's troops, or the range of activities of players in Chen Kai's territory, was expanded again. They began to wield axes and rush into the surrounding mountains and forests to act as woodcutters. You must know that the price of timber in the town of Berkna is quite high now, and in addition to firewood and grass, a large number of construction projects require wood, which leads to the fact that the big trees above the bowl mouth in the whole town are basically cut down.
If it weren't for Chen Kai to stop the indiscriminate felling, it is estimated that there would be basically no trees larger than the thickness of a fist in the entire town. Even so, the entire town of Berkna has the smallest area of green space of all Hugodi domains, and most of the hills are bare. At Chen's request, the farmers had to plant seedlings in these forests, even if they were fruit trees. However, the only fruit trees in the entire town of Burkner are Chen Kai's plantations, and it is naturally impossible for these farmers to dig saplings in Chen Kai's plantations, so Chen Kai can only pay for young seedlings for these farmers to plant on the hills.
This gave rise to the task assigned by the lord peculiar to the town of Burkner, to acquire seedlings. According to the different types and values of the seedlings, Chen Kai gives different prices to buy, and then the player gains some experience while selling the seedlings to Chen Kai. Chen Kai will also gain some experience after planting seedlings, of course, much less than the player. One is quest experience, and the other is the experience gained from building territories, and the two are not comparable at all.
But Chen Kai knew that if he couldn't find a fuel resource that could be used in large quantities, the forest in Burkner would eventually be cut down one day. In the past, in addition to firewood, the inhabitants of Hugodi also used charcoal, a mineral similar to coal in reality, as fuel, and of course another special fuel, fire-burning grass. However, neither charcoal nor edelweiss is absent in the town of Burkner. Or rather, there used to be and now it is gone. The pit of the charcoal was leveled by Chen Kai for the civil construction mages, and at least thousands of cubic meters of earth and rock had to be excavated to reactivate. As for the fire grass, it is even simpler, it only grows on the charcoal and belongs to the special plant. This plant has a very stable burning property and is extremely expensive. However, a fire-burning grass is enough to burn for a whole day, and the flame released is extremely stable, and in addition to being used for heating, it can also be used on spell scrolls.
The fire burning grass itself is an artificially cultivated spell material, and the fire burning grass that is directly used as firewood and grass is only consumed by super nobles except for the losers. In the past, there were several fire coal mines in Hugodi's territory, and a large number of fire coals could be used as a cultivation ground for fire grass, so naturally there was no shortage of this plant, but later those forages were collected by the players, and with the filling of fire coal mines, there were not enough materials to cultivate new fire grass plants.
Chen Kai naturally didn't want to cultivate the Fire Burning Grass, although this spell material could not only be used as a stabilizing incendiary for making elixirs, but it could also be used to add fire elemental spell ink to increase the power of the spell. However, the growing environment of the fire grass is too harsh, and it is really not capable of cultivating it for the current town of Burkner. The most important thing is that Chen Kai is still thinking about solving the fuel problem as soon as possible. Instead of cultivating things that aren't very reliable.
It's just that Chen Kai is also very entangled in his heart, because the risk of digging the coal pit is even greater than the current pyrite mine. You must know that the reason why Chen Kai dug up the pyrite mine was because there was a lack of enough iron tools and metals in the territory, and on the other hand, the pyrite was shallow and was a new pit in itself. After Chen Kai carefully investigated and questioned the original Hugodi residents, he was sure that it did not connect to the deep underground world. That's why I took the risk of digging it up. But this is not the case with the coal-fired mine, this mine is not only close to Chen Kai's city, almost less than two kilometers from the wall of Burkner Town, once the underground creatures appear, then it can quickly rush into Chen Kai's city, and at the same time, Chen Kai is also entangled in the fact that the mine is almost hundreds of meters underground.
Because of this, Chen Kai needs to think even more, if he really digs a pit that connects the underground world. Then Chen Kai has to face the scene of underground creatures appearing in the yard of his house, and whether there is charcoal in the mine is too old has become another problem. But in the end, Chen Kai chose to let the miners dig the mine together with the residents of the city, on the one hand, because the city really lacks fuel, whether it is metal smelting or residents' daily life. Even Chen Kai's lord's mansion was almost out of hot food. Although there is already some wood supply market, who wants to use wet wood as firewood.
On the other hand, Chen Kai also hopes to dig a path to the underground world. Because Xu Fei's words reminded Chen Kai. There are only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves, the words made Chen Kai's mind turn quickly, in Chen Kai's eyes, they are now the kind of thousand days to prevent thieves. Although at present, it seems that Chen Kai's defense is in place. The demonized troops of those former lords were forced by him to wander into the territory of other lords, but everyone knew that the number of demonized soldiers was too small. Although this amount has already made Lord Novan want to die, imagine if it weren't for the fact that Novan's territory itself has fewer soldiers, and it is almost unprepared, how could it be so wolf beaten by such a number of demonized soldiers.
Chen Kai thought in his heart that sending elite soldiers or players to go deep underground to directly find trouble with those demonized creatures, after all, the former lord's demonized troops were numerous, as long as they killed some today, some tomorrow, maybe it won't take a year, and the demonized soldiers of the entire underground world will all be cleared. At that time, there was no one to block the trade routes between Altinis and the north, and Chen Kai's task was naturally completed.
So Chen Kai chose to dig this mine, and for safety reasons, he even arranged two second-hand magic crystal cannons that Prime Minister Capello had given him to use at the exit of the mine. A small bunker was built at the exit of the mine, and more than 100 soldiers were stationed for a long time, and the most important thing was to see that the surrounding environment was very good and the ground was open enough. Chen Kai simply put the garrison of the cavalry regiment here, once the underground creatures rushed out of the mine, then they would have to face the strong crushing of nearly three thousand heavy armored cavalry in addition to the two magic crystal cannons.
Under this arrangement, not only Xu Fei felt that Chen Kai was a bit excessive, but also other people. However, as the mine is dug up little by little, most of the attention is focused on this future fuel supply point. Su Xinghe, on the other hand, maintained the practice of using the communication outside the system to report the situation every three hours.
When Su Xinghe and his troops reached the middle of the Great Rift Valley, he saw the rebuilt bridges and forts, and of course the Guardians of Altinis. It's just that the attitude of the two sides when they met for the first time was not friendly, after all, the trade route had been cut off for nearly half a year. The only ones who had been harassing the fortress were the demons, and the defenders of Altinis were naturally surprised by the sudden appearance of soldiers claiming to be the northern town of Birkna.
When Su Xinghe was happy to have a relationship with those defenders of Altinis, he was busy sending messages to Chen Kai. Chen Kai has come to the underground of the excavated fire coal pit, because Chen Kai directly dug the original tunnel, so the mine is relatively flat. Chen Kai was still very happy when the first truck of charcoal was transported, and as an associated mineral of coal, there are many other materials that can be mined in this pit. Of course, it was not only because of these coals of fire that Chen Kai was allowed to curl up into the underground pit, not only because of the scattered materials that were dug up, but because of the dark and huge hole in front of Chen Kai that led to the unknown dark underground.
Obviously, when Chen Kai tried to dig through this coal pit. Some of the rats hiding underground have the same idea. It's just that their luck is not good, because the mine collapsed and buried themselves directly, so they can only choose to dig in another direction, and this is obviously before Chen Kai dug the mine. Because with the help of the Illuminating Crystal, Chen Kai could see that the corpse of a demonized soldier buried under the rock had begun to decompose, apparently dead for a while.
"Looks like our neighbors think the same way we do! It's just that they're a little unlucky! Chen Kai said to Xu Fei who was standing beside him. Then he jumped straight into the dark hole.
With Chen Kai's movements, more than a dozen players also jumped down, and Drake, the captain of the cavalry team, also led more than thirty high-level black-armored cavalrymen into the hole along the ropes. In the end, there were hundreds of soldiers and players who entered this deep underground world, and Chen Kai, who jumped down first, was already squatting on the ground with Xu Fei to inspect the corpse buried under the rock.
"I've been dead for at least three days, and I should have been crushed by the rock and hung up on my sternum!" Xu Fei slightly stained some of the corpse's tissues and looked at it, no matter from which point of view, identification is the most useful partner for the arcanist. Although the information provided is not very reliable, under such simple conditions, such information is enough for Chen Kai to make a judgment.
"It seems that our luck is really good, if it weren't for this collapse, I guess these demonized soldiers might have been hiding inside to attack us when we were digging the mine." Chen Kai was extremely glad to hear Xu Fei's news, in his opinion, this time it was completely the favor of Lady Luck, if the passage dug by these demonized soldiers had not collapsed. Perhaps when they dig the mines, they see a large number of demonized soldiers ready to go, rather than ore to fuel them.
"Yes! It's really good! The most important thing is that we can clearly understand that the demonized soldiers who attacked Novan are not the main force, and their goal is still in this place or to regain their territory! Xu Fei's words can basically be said to have calculated the fundamental purpose of these demonized soldiers. In fact, Chen Kai and the others didn't understand why the former lord of Hugodi, who had fled into the underground world, was reluctant to leave this place even after being demonized, but wanted to return to his territory all the time. But this is undoubtedly bitter for Chen Kai and the new owners of these territories. had to fight to the death with the demonized forces of the old lord of Hugodi. Therefore, Chen Kai's last sentence revealed a little helplessness, for Hu Goddi's players, what they hoped most was that Hu Goddi's demonized creatures would run to other places to harm others. Therefore, when the Demon Soldiers attacked Lord Nowan's territory, most of the player lords were not angry but happy, but unfortunately this happiness was only temporary.
Therefore, most people also smiled bitterly when they heard Xu Fei's words, only Drake clenched the spear in his hand tightly after seeing the face of the corpse.
"Mihai! My father, is he going to see you so soon? "As for the corpse of the demonized soldier on the ground, others may have only judged that the other party was a soldier of the former lord of Hugodi, but Drake knew very well who the face of the demonized soldier was. It was a member of his father's former personal guard, but he was a new member of the personal guard after the death of old Mihai. But in the end, he was demonized into a monster, a young boy who was less than nineteen years old and used to be Drake's partner and friend, and even Drake's father, the Iron Fist Lion, who wanted to make him more obedient to his son, was now lying on the ground and turned into a corpse that stenged with the stench of decay.
Although he knew in his heart that maybe the demonized Mihai would not be able to follow his father as an ordinary demonized soldier, Drake's heart was still torn with a tangled and confused feeling, and he didn't know what it would be like when he saw his demonized father. Therefore, while Chen Kai and the others followed the footprints on the ground to find the traces of those demonized soldiers, Drake stood in a daze, and it was a long time before he followed the footsteps of those soldiers......)
