With the rolling heat wave, the 'broken front' in Barrett's arms also became hotter and hotter. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But he himself seemed to have noticed the change at all, and he closed his eyes and breathed peacefully and meditated. The three-day trial was not fast, but it was not slow, and Barrett, who was silent and unfed, would make familiar people feel a lot thinner at first glance even from a distance.

The 'broken peak' that had been cut off after the awakening ritual began to become clearer and clearer in Barrett's senses as the heat wave baptized - not in the physical sense, but in a spiritual echo. In other words, Broken Peak seems to have fallen into a brief period of dormancy after the secondary rite of transmission, and as the trial progresses, the sleeping beauty is slowly reawakened by Barrett.

After finally feeling the pulse of the blade in his hand in tune with his heartbeat, Barrett opened his eyes that had been closed for three days and three nights. At the same time, a 'Secondary Ancient Specialty' appeared on Barrett's character panel, and an additional attribute 'Temperature Isolate' appeared in the attribute bar of 'Broken Peak', which allowed Barrett to ignore 10 points of fire and cold damage.

"There are quite a few new special abilities that have been acquired along the way, but the foundation of 'Broken Peak' itself seems to be a first-order sharp star iron sword. Is the reinforcement of the base placed at a later level? Because of the effect of "temperature isolation", Barrett, who felt much more comfortable in this crater, looked at the Mo knife in his hand with his own care.

At this time, the members of the family who were in charge of paying attention to Barrett's health in the dwarf building immediately shouted to Barrett through the megaphone beside him: "Sir outside, since you have passed the trial, hurry in!" After being hungry for three days and three nights, it's time to eat something to replenish your strength. ”

Although they belong to the same family sequence, the status of the person in front of him is obviously not as good as Barrett's, so he can't call Barrett by his name. But the situation of both parties makes it an awkward behavior to call the surname.

Of course, if Barrett has any name that the world recognizes, it can be used as a substitute here. It's a pity that his active performance after entering the game has indeed brought him some distinctive nicknames. But it still hasn't been unanimously recognized by the world. This makes someone's name always sound awkward.

But no matter how awkward the voice was, Barrett wouldn't ignore it. Although the other party should be the reason for the work, the proposal is always good. He didn't want to give the impression that he was looking at people with his nostrils ********. Who knows if that will lower your own opinion in the eyes of some people?

"Okay! I'll be right over. Ignoring the heat, Barrett opened his mouth in response, and took a step forward and jumped off the rock he was sitting on. Then, as if stepping on something, he stepped across the entire lava and came to the edge of the building on the other side.

After standing on the special opening for a while, the stone gate in front of me began to move slowly. Barrett then approached an enclosed stone chamber, where the temperature was slightly cooler than outside, but still not something ordinary people could bear. By the time the outer door was sealed under the influence of the mechanism, the red-colored room was restored to its original appearance.

Then a stone door on the right side of the room began to scratch, and Barrett, who walked through the newly opened door into the next room, found that although the temperature here was not low, it was finally acceptable to ordinary people. At this time, the family member who was responsible for taking care of his own situation also rushed here in three steps and two steps.

I saw that he kept wiping the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve because of running and high temperature: "You have finally completed the final test." I have instructed the people below to prepare milk and fresh fruit for you. Later, there will be oatmeal porridge with some minced meat. If you want to eat anything else, it's best to wait until tomorrow to restore your gastrointestinal function. ”

"I've been hungry for so long, I still understand the reason why I eat something that is easy to digest and make my stomach fit for a while." Barrett naturally has no opinion on this arrangement. In fact, with Barrett's physique, even if it is a big fish and a big meat now, it will not have any effect. But since the other party is attentive, Barrett will not live up to the kindness of others.

"Then please come with me." After getting Barrett's recovery, the young man in front of him turned around while wiping his sweat. It didn't take long for Barrett, who followed him, to open the inner side of the crater along the not very wide passage. Came to the settlement on the uphill slope.

Barrett, who had been in a hurry to conduct the trial at the beginning, finally had the opportunity to take a good look at the family's overseas base. He used a spoon to pass the oatmeal into his mouth, and at the same time swept his gaze through the window of the stone house to sweep the vegetation outside the window.

According to Barrett's memory, the type of vegetation on this volcanic island is very different from that of Boreham. And it's not just the difference between oceanic and continental, it's more about the temperature - the island is supposed to be in the south of Boreham Territory.

"It's a pity that it's a little bit northerly, and if you can go further south, you might be able to try to grow cash crops like spices or sugar cane." Barrett, who had some ideas in his mind, put down the spoon in his hand and sighed. But then he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm really thinking too much, how can we take all the good things away." If it were that good, this island would have been in the sight of the southern countries long ago. Where is the turn to get Boreham to pick up the bargain. ”

Barrett did not choose to return to China immediately, but spent a few days observing the entire island in general. The island is not small in terms of size, and thanks to the influence of the volcano over the years, the land here is far more fertile than the average island - the lush vegetation proves it.

The island is so large that it can provide a certain amount of fresh water supply. In fact, if it weren't for that, Boreham would not have taken a fancy to it. Otherwise, even if there are strange things along with the water elemental plane, the work of taking turns to receive water every day is enough of a headache.

As for mineral resources, it's not Barrett's ability to figure it out by simply looking at it. However, judging by the good mood of the dwarves, Barrett always felt that the island was not much worse in this regard. The resources provided by the volcanic lava alone are enough for them to keep them busy.

Unfortunately, although the existence of the volcano has brought various favorable conditions to the island, it is also a huge threat in its own right. If this thing suddenly erupts one day, I am afraid that most of the Boleum family's previous investments will be ruined. Although the dwarves have a way to use geothermal heat to reduce the chance of volcanic eruptions, it is not 100% safe. Therefore, other insurance measures are needed to control the risk within an acceptable range.

Not to mention the smell of lava and sulfur, which may attract the red dragon among the five-colored dragons. No matter how odd it is, House Boram must be prepared to defend themselves against the dragon's attack. It is precisely because of its own constraints that the Boreham family has been very inadequate in the development of this overseas enclave.

And as Barrett has seen, progress has been surprisingly slow. The biggest obstacle to this is to hide the existence of the island - it is difficult to carry out large-scale immigration without making it public, let alone large-scale development if there is not even enough working population.

Of course, in terms of current returns, because the Boreham family has chosen high-profit projects in the early stage. Therefore, in the current stage of development, not only did it not suck a lot of blood from the family, but it was barely profitable. However, according to Barrett, this profit will inevitably continue to decrease in a short period of time as development progresses. Finally, if you can break even, you can burn high incense.

Barrett, who had completed his trial and had no further interest in the island, used the island's teleportation array to return to Boreham Territory on the third day of awakening Broken Peak. But when he drove into the Morning Valley Winery, he found that his companions had not stayed there. According to the assistant's statement, the players took on an escort mission from the clan a few days ago, and are now on their way to the Kingdom of Cruz.

Ignoring what could be done, Barrett went through his daily practice while waiting for the Earl of Boreham's call. Don't look at the previous meeting between Barrett and the Earl of Boreham, it seems to be very convenient, but in fact, it is either an important task in itself or an appointment has been made in advance - to put it bluntly, the Earl can see you whenever he wants to, if he doesn't want to see you, you can't do anything.

Of course, the current Earl of Boreham did not refuse Barrett, but now the big war is imminent, he is too busy to spare time, so this time the waiting time will seem a little long. Barrett can only blame himself for not having enough priorities.

After four days of waiting, Barrett finally stepped into the Earl's office again. As soon as the two met, the Earl smiled and asked, "Do you have your own opinion on the family's secret base?" ”

"It's a good virgin land. But at present, it seems that it is difficult to develop. Barrett, who pondered for a while, decided to tell the truth, "And now that the war is about to start, it is impossible for the family to invest more in it, and it is probably the limit to be able to maintain the current scale." ”

"Yes! And that's on the premise that nothing happens. The development of a barren land is arduous and time-consuming at all times. The family has been mentally prepared for this for a long time, but as long as the war against the Kingdom of Lucia is over this time, we will be able to take the opportunity to speak out about it. The Earl of Boreham smiled and pinched his chin with his fingers, "When the time comes, we will be able to recruit displaced people on a large scale to carry out reclamation operations." ”

Hearing this, Barrett also understood the Earl's wishful thinking. Regardless of whether the war with the Kingdom of Lucia is won or lost, Boreham Lords have a predetermined plan to make a profit. Naturally, everyone is happy to win, and when dividing the cake, the Boreham Territory at least concedes slightly, and it is not difficult to eliminate the impact of announcing overseas territories.

And if the war is lost, it will be the Nohan royal family that will bear the brunt. In that case, the Garfields would have to compromise with an enemy powerhouse like the Borehams. At that time, as long as it is operated properly, it will not be difficult to make a small profit.

As for the defeat of Norhan in the war with the Kingdom of Lucia? It is unlikely according to the idea of the early Earl of Boram. After all, the war tests the combined national strength of the two countries, and Norhan still has a considerable advantage in this regard - there may be tactical defeats, but on the whole it will not fall into the situation of losing the city and losing the territory.

"Since you have a big plan, Earl, I just have to do what I am told." Barrett, who said this, stood tall.

"You kid, are you waiting for an order?" The Earl of Boreham laughed.

"Yes!" But Barrett nodded very solemnly, "Anyway, I'm alone now, and I have to find something to do." ”

"You'll have to wait a while. Now the war between us and Lucia has begun although nominally. But because the battlefield was actually in the Kingdom of Cruze, the deployment of the army could not have been so fast. As he said this, the Earl of Boreham pulled out a roll of parchment from a stack of books.

"And what about the border between our two countries?" Barrett didn't think the Lucians would obediently clash with Cruze and Norhan instead of playing other little tricks behind their backs.

Count Boreham smiled, "Naturally, the border line should also be more guarded. But you know that if we interfere too much in this kind of thing, the royal family will have bad associations. So just obediently wait for the royal side to be called. On the contrary, in the direction of the Cruze Kingdom, it is necessary to be more prepared. ”

"Anyway, I'd better hit the road early! Otherwise, don't you think it's too extravagant to use teleportation spells to rush away every time? Barrett now immediately showed an attitude of family concern.

The Earl of Boreham squinted at Barrett, "I don't know what you think?" Isn't it just that you can't be idle for a moment? Don't worry, you'll be slow in a few days. Let's get used to the new weapons during this time! ”

"If you say 'broken peak', then there really isn't much to be familiar with. My new hand is passive energy resistance! While this thing will increase my survivability, it won't change my overall tactics. Speaking of this, Barrett also reached out and patted the handle of the 'Broken Peak'.

As for Barrett, who has always taken a head-on confrontation, his survivability is high enough. The improvement of 'broken peak' is only the icing on the cake, and it cannot have any qualitative effect. So it didn't take much effort for Barrett to readjust. (To be continued.) )
