Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Egger's mage level at this time has been raised to level 16. Unlocked a new arcane spell and a fire spell.
Detection magic, a spell that can be unlocked at level 16 of the arcane system, can be actively cast instantly, can analyze the type and details of the magic cast by the current target, and can also detect the status magic that the opponent has blessed.
Instant magic is good, and this is a pure auxiliary detection spell, for understanding the opponent's strength and weakness, it is very good, not only can be used in battle, but also can be used in the usual magic learning, after this analysis of detection magic, you can deepen his understanding of the magic process Cheng dΓΉ, it looks inconspicuous, but in fact it is very practical, and it is often used.
The fire system unlocks the famous Flame Storm, which is a more powerful group attack magic after the magic explosion, select a casting origin, summon the fire element to carry out continuous fire damage in the circular area of this range, is a typical group attack magic, after causing huge damage, it will also cause a ignition effect to the recipient in the next 8 seconds, and continue to kill, the power is amazing!
It's just that Egg's current level is too low, and the lethality of the lowest-level Flame Storm is really limited, and he needs to continue to optimize and master it in the next experience, believing that this powerful group attack magic will be hot and light in his hands!
β¦β¦
Although he really wanted to reach Sentinel Ridge in one go, but the actual distance was not short, when Gort couldn't hold back, the man instructed him to follow the main road, this road is often patrolled by the People's Army, and ordinary wild monsters are not very close, relatively safe. After galloping for a long time, it was getting late, and Egg, who felt a little tired, still couldn't hold on, so he set up a tent in a low-lying place next to Big 6 for the night. He didn't forget to set up a few small alarm magic, and at the same time arranged for the elves to keep vigil to ensure his safety, so he fell asleep with peace of mind...... Nothing to say all night!
β¦β¦
Satinia Farm, located just in front of Sentinel Ridge, was one of the few fertile fields in the vicinity, and most of the fertile fields were here, and because he could see the row of tiled houses from the main road, he decided to go inside, hoping to get some tasks to do.
Sardinia Farm is named after Sardinia, which is also a relatively old small landlord, but the landlord of Azeroda Road is completely different from the impression of the kind of "Zhou Papi" who does not farm, only knows how to collect rent with a big belly, and even robs the women of good families, at least the "landlord" in the west is a real and honest person, a farmer, but there are more fields to cultivate, and he is the owner of this land.
The relationship between the tenant farmer and the "landlord" is not a master-slave relationship of complete oppression, but more like the younger brother and the eldest brother. I believe that there must be many similar title deeds in this old Sardinia family.
Old Sardinia was one such "good landlord", and he also led a group of tenant farmer brothers, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and digging from the barren land. In that massive wave of Diafi thieves swept the west, the largest farm was spared. One is that there were a large number of wheat field golems on the farm at that time, and the second is the most fundamental reason, the members of the Moon Creek Brigade often settled here at that time, and they joined the battle at that time. As a result, the loss of the farm was minimized, and most of the crops survived.
However, the old Sardinia is even more distressed now......
β¦β¦
Belch! A flock of chicks!
When Iger came to this area, the farmer now had a lot of chickens, they were foraging in the nearby fields, and among them was a group of chicks brought by the mother chicken, who must have just hatched, and they were very fluffy and cute...... It's just a please!
When this group of chickens saw that there was food, they naturally rushed up and grabbed the food, and some of the chickens looked at this "tall" human being curiously while eating, and their small eyes were very cute......
Hint: Congratulations on completing the hidden quest "Chickens of the Wild West" and receiving a 1-star neutral blue minion card "Angry Chickens", which has been added to your Hearthstone book, please check it out!
ββ¦β¦β
Is that okay? β¦β¦ Egger, who was about to go inside, almost fell! However, the memory of this piece has reappeared. The classic chick quest, if you have passed through the Warcraft friends of that era, you should have an impression!
Hawkers, forget it, you can get a good blue card, and you didn't come here in vain!
A few farmers with pitchforks raised their "weapons" and watched him from a distance, but when Egg approached and saw the striking mage badge on his body, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the leader beckoned him to return to working in the fields.
"Hello, Mr. Mage from Stormwind! I'm Sardinia! "The leader is the owner of the Sardinia farm, the old Sardinia.
"Hello, my name is Egger, I'm going to Sentinel Ridge, and I'm a freelance mercenary. Stop by the farm and stop by to see what we can do to help! Hehe! β
"Okay, there are often mercenaries like you passing by here, please come home!"
Old Satin greeted him warmly. This is a standard old farmer, with a big nose peculiar to old Nordic old people, and his face is full of wind and frost, showing that he is a man who can endure hardships.
Old Sardinia proudly introduced the surrounding fields as he walked: "My farm, you look inconspicuous, but it can be said to be the richest piece of fertile land in the whole west, there is a water source nearby, and irrigation is not a problem." β
"And what about the grain production?"
"Take this wheat field as an example, the yield per mu is more than 100 catties, which is good!"
Egger's eyes were over, he hadn't paid attention to this before, but from the words of the old farmer, he could hear that the average grain yield per mu of Da 6 was not high, and the planting level was low. If more than 100 catties can be regarded as good, then even if it is good land elsewhere, it is not much higher, it is about the same as about one or two hundred catties in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China in later generations, or even slightly worse.
He vaguely remembered what he had learned before he came to Azerol 6, that wheat was harvested on average once a year, and the average yield per mu was 9oo catties; Rice is harvested once a year in the north, twice in the middle, and three in the south, with a general yield of 15oo catties per mu; The north of corn can be cropped once a year, and the central and southern parts can be cropped twice a year, with a general yield of 14oo catties per mu. Compared to this yield, the level of crop cultivation in Azerol 6 is probably only one-tenth of that of later generations...... How can this be eaten? No wonder there's a lot of food for everyone!
"Uncle, the yield of the field is not bad, is there enough food to eat?"
Old Satin's face darkened, and he replied after a while: "In the past, if you only cared about your family after paying the field tax, you would have guaranteed that everyone could eat enough, but now it is different. β
"How is it different?"
"You know the Diafi Brotherhood, right?" Seeing Egger nodding, he continued: "These bandits are like mad dogs, robbing grain everywhere, destroying fertile land and killing people everywhere, making a mess of the entire west. The nobles were either killed or ran away, leaving this mess behind. Fortunately, Lord Stallman, who is a free mercenary like you, stepped forward and organized a people's army to resist and stop the rampant thieves. Many men from the west joined the People's Army and fought to protect their homeland. β
"But here's the problem, young and middle-aged people all join the army to fight, and most of the rest of the cultivators are old, weak, sick and disabled, and there is a shortage of labor. Like my Sardinia family, the two eldest sons are in the People's Army, and the food that can be dug out of the fields is limited. In particular, we can't let those young people who are fighting bravely for their homeland go to war and still go hungry, right? While we refuse to pay any more taxes to Stormwind, we need to provide enough food to the People's Army at Sentinel Ridge...... This man eats what the horse chews, and the food is even more insufficient. Alas! β
Egger sighed in agreement! Old Satin stared at him with cloudy eyes for a moment, and then said slowly: "Young man, I see that you are a mage, and your strength should be good, are you interested in accepting a task from me?" But let's be honest, we don't have a lot of coins, so in terms of compensation, it may not be as generous as you think! β
Got a task? That's a good feeling! But Iger didn't say anything: "Uncle, let's talk about it, what task?" I could consider giving it a try! β
"A dozen miles to the west, not far from where our old brothers live, there is a fertile field that is barren, and we could have sown it, but now we can't......"
"What? Occupied by Diafi thieves? β
"Not really! Originally, there were a large number of wheat field puppets guarding that area, but later these puppets were lying on their stomachs, and all the charging batteries were taken away! That's fine, just let them lie on their stomachs, and we'll continue to hit our ground. But some time ago, all of a sudden, all of these wheat field puppets started working again, patrolling back and forth in the fields. Two old brothers thought that these puppets would be restored to their original state and would become the guardians of the fields, and they wanted to go over and see what was going on. As a result, they all died......"
"How so?"
"I think it's those damn remnants of the Brotherhood who not only replaced the batteries of those wheat field golems, but also reset the puppet's control program, and now as long as they enter the range of that farmland, they will be attacked indiscriminately. I reported the matter to Sentinel Ridge, but they had been fighting the thieves and were under a lot of pressure, and they couldn't spare the manpower to take care of it for a while. Seeing that the best sowing season is about to pass, if it is delayed any longer, this will be half a year's harvest in vain, and the old man is anxious! β
