69. Infrastructure

β€œDesh-Owu-Tas-Du!”

As Ida recited the incantation, several circles around the castle lit up with blue light, outlining the internal structure of the castle, along with the castle foundation, and the mountain on which the castle was located. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It didn't take long for a three-dimensional diorama model similar to yesterday's academy to be overlaid on the original, and for the first time, Li Qi had a clear view of his castle from the inside out.

Last night, the castle was plagued by spiders, and Litch decided to install a protective barrier on the spot. He can't afford a fifth-level enchantment, so he will install a fourth-level enchantment first, with the special function of rejecting spiders, and the six thousand gold bushels will be gone.

The main control center of the enchantment will naturally be placed in the castle, and the installed enchantment can protect the spherical space with the castle as the center and a radius of three hundred meters, covering the castle and the temple. Enchantments only work on supernatural powers at level 4 and below, and have no effect on magic magic above level 5.

"Hey, it's a little weird......"

When the model was built, Ida frowned.

"Do you see those spots of light in the mountain under the foundation?"

Ida pointed out the oddities in the model to Richie: "That's the atrophied mana vein, which means ......"

She looked at the castle again, and said with certainty, "There used to be a magic well here, and there should have been a magic tower on it, and then it was converted into a castle. ”

Magic Tower?

Li Qi was stunned, as if he had come into contact with some great secret.

"Shrinking like this, at least a thousand years old, I don't see a use. Back then, this was the front line of the war between humans and the dark elves, and it was probably the magic tower responsible for guarding the front line. ”

Remembering the history of this place, Ida didn't care too much.

There was no more to discover, and Richie didn't think much of it. In the last era, the dark elves invaded, and the war was fought for more than a hundred years, and it is normal to leave some ruins.

He was trying to suppress the feeling of pain in his flesh, and the six thousand gold bushhels were just the purchase and installation fees of the enchantment, and the running fee had to be paid by himself, which was a heavy burden.

Finn's protective enchantment is a complex system, and the enchantment circle is only an excitation device, and what works is the input energy.

If it's a protective enchantment based on divine power, you need a divine crystal, and based on magic power, it's a magic crystal. In short, just like the power grid, if you want to maintain the barrier, you have to burn money continuously.

Ida helped him calculate, after the enchantment was installed, even if it was only opened at the lowest neutralization level, five low-level divine crystals would have to be burned every day, which was equivalent to hundreds of gold bushels. At maximum neutralization, five crystals are only enough to burn for ten minutes.

is such a small enchantment, burning tens of thousands of gold bushels a year, Li Qi suddenly corrected his position in Finn, how different is this from ants?

Seeing that his face was not very good-looking, Ida comforted, "Mentor, if your gods are willing to bless him, you can send down divine power to maintain the barrier. ”

No way, Tarence had already told Richie about this, and Richie had asked the goddess about it. The goddess said that her hands were tight now, and she couldn't use any extra divine power to maintain the barrier.

Ida suggested again: "Then you can also build a magic well, the principle is the same as the magic well, just improve the process of making holy water." The disadvantage is the same as the blessing of the gods, which will make the enchantment show the divine power characteristics of the gods, and the protection will be weakened a lot. Moreover, divine power does not last as long as magic power, and it is necessary to let the clergy replenish it with their own power from time to time. ”

Li Qi also knew about this, and now the holy water still had to rely on Fei Ni's tears, and Li Qi was reluctant to let Fei Ni increase her output. And the clergy of the church are too few, and the magic is not complete, and there is no hope for it.

In the end, the barrier still has to be maintained by burning money.

"Don't you need a god power well? Then there is only a crystal slot, and the detection circle really doesn't need it? Okay, just add the function of specifying the function of repelling insect creatures, a very rudimentary enchantment......"

Ida shoots light with her staff, gesturing at the diorama and marking locations that need to be rebuilt in the castle.

Probably thinking that installing such an enchantment was too pediatric, she couldn't get enough of it: "Mentor, you really don't need a fresh space?"

This is the second time Richie has heard her say this: "What is this?

After listening to Ada's explanation, Richie's eyes lit up and said, "This can be had!"

The so-called "fresh-keeping space" is actually equivalent to a large space ring. Anything but creatures cannot be stored, or things that have souls in them.

The preservation space opened up by the mage is actually a miniature sub-plane, because it does not have the element of flowing time, the stored food and drinking water will not rot and deteriorate, and the weapons and equipment will not rust, which is a necessary extraordinary facility for units such as temples, magic towers, and royal palaces.

The space ring emphasizes portability, and the volume is not large, and the space ring given by the little dragon girl to Li Qi is only about one cube, which he uses to put gold tickets, valuables such as crystals, and self-defense weapons such as maces. The fresh-keeping space can be made very large, after all, there is no need to open up additional space, just convert the corresponding space into a plane.

Creating a fresh space in the basement of the castle to store food and water is a necessary insurance measure for the territory. Li Qi felt that it was worth spending another thousand gold bushels on this.

"I don't need the tutor to pay for this, count it as a little bit of my heart for the mentor!"

Ida generously took it upon herself, and the photography tutorial that Li Qi handed her early in the morning was still rolled up in her sleeve, waiting to finish the work to study.

Li Qi looked at the glasses lady magician with mixed feelings, what a good person, I hope to live a long life.

..................

Ida and her apprentice began to prepare for the installation of the barrier, and Richie paced the riverbank with the thought of "I want gold bushels" in his head.

The embankment has been repaired by Ada, and the original gravel and earth have been transformed into neat and solid rocks under the fossilization technique of the construction magician, each of which is the same size, piled together as if it were made of steel, full of sci-fi beauty.

However, when it is put together with the farm on the other side of the river, the style of painting is suddenly wrong, a bit like an all-glass building in an ancient town.

When will you be able to develop your own extraordinary building power, and you can build infrastructure without relying on civil druids and construction magicians?

Richie was walking his mind when Tarence came looking for him.

"The selection of new apprentices from the farm has been completed, and there are forty-six people in this batch. There are more than 30 orphans among them, and I think the quality is very good, and the preparatory apprentices mentioned by the viscount I think can also be formed. ”

Tarence had come to report on the building of the organization, and of the first batch of thirty-seven apprentices, there were already four clergymen, seven probationary clergymen, and the rest were all devout believers, and they were going to hold a second life meeting in the near future, and among these people they would inspire the clergy.

"So fast?"

Li Qi was a little surprised, originally he thought that the hatching effect of the farm would take a long time to manifest.

Tarence said happily: "The basic doctrine of five stresses, four beauties and three loves, has developed a habit of life on the farm, which is also due to the Viscount gathering everyone together to live and work together." After the life meeting, Stan and his words and deeds on the farm quickly influenced everyone on the farm, and many people wanted to join the church. ”

Indeed, collective life is a big killer.

"Then we have to put the organizational system together," Richie muttered, pulling a document from his ring.

Tarence took the document and looked at it for a while, his expression becoming solemn.

Those under the age of 16 who are qualified are classified as preparatory apprentices.

Those who are over the age of 16 and have not become probationary clergy are classified as apprentices.

Preparatory apprentices and apprentices concentrate on living and practicing in the academy that will be built in the future.

Probationary clergy, who also practiced in the academy, but took on some work on the farm and the church.

Formal clergy practice in the church and are assigned work as needed.

Those who are over 20 years old and are still unable to become a trainee priest after repeated callings can transfer to the farm to do management work, while retaining their apprenticeship status and can continue to practice.

The "organizational system" is just a framework and crude, but Tarens sees a lot of things in it. For example, the distinction between adults and minors, the lifelong attention to the unqualified, and so on.

"Well, that's the will of the goddess," Richie explained, seeing what Tarence was trying to ask.

There were more detailed things in his ring, which the goddess had drawn up with him, but it was still in the early stages of creation, so there was no need to make the structure too cumbersome.

"Originally, the Affliction Church where I stayed, like other churches, had a mentor with a number of apprentices, and the apprentices were also the mentor's servants. Whether it is a magician, a clergyman, or any other profession, it has been like this since ancient times. ”

Tarence sighed: "We are bringing apprentices together, one mentor only teaches one thing, and the rest of the time the apprentices manage themselves. At first, I was a little worried that it would be chaotic, but I didn't expect it to work so well, and this is also the unique power of my master. ”

Li Qi said disapprerovingly: "It's just the progress of the education model, and you should think about the reasons for this." ”

"Don't let mentors and apprentices form ......"

Tarence used a term he learned not long ago: "Personal attachment?"

He said with emotion: "This is the practice of the second doctrine." ”

"This is just a starting point, don't think of it as an end", the old man's theoretical level has improved again, and Li Qi is very satisfied: "You don't just talk about apprenticeship, do you. ”

"Well, Viscount, that's right. ”

"Stan, they were eager to do more, like go out on missions, and I felt they needed to broaden their horizons and broaden their horizons," Tarence added. In the past, when I was in the Church of Tribulation, I had to travel as a full clergyman. ”

"Not now", Li Qi decisively denied it, the theory is far from perfect, and letting Stan out at this time will not only distort the theory, but also make Stan lose the right direction in their thinking.

"I'll let them out in the future, and now they still need to continue forging their souls", Li Qi had a flash of inspiration: "If you want to increase your knowledge, you don't have to run out, just let them watch the mirage drama." ”

"Mirage plays, that's not for the nobility and the burghers...... Promotional materials?"

Tarence was surprised, he knew what Richie meant with the mirage play.

"With a critical eye, you can take Stan and the other probationary clergy trainees and try it out for yourself. ”

Li Qi's thoughts flew and he came to the spirit: "What things in the drama embody the truth, goodness and beauty of mortals, which can be imitated by oneself or implemented among ordinary people." What things embody oppression that we need to overturn. Find out the points one by one, and everyone brainstorms to thoroughly analyze a drama from beginning to end. ”

"When you have a thorough understanding of the play, you can use it as a material for the life meeting and show it to other apprentices. ”

"At Ada, I mean the Magic Advisor, once we have learned photography, we can send someone to follow her in a mirage play, and in the future we will shoot it for ourselves, not for the nobles and townspeople. ”

Tarence's thoughts drifted along with Richie's words, and at the end he said with a distant gaze, "There is so much to do, and we are short of time." ”

No......

Richie's thoughts instantly returned to reality.

We're still short of money!
