Chapter 106: New Town
"Pull hard, one, two, three!"
At the construction site of the outer wall of the city of Salander de Muradin, many laborers are working intensively, and after a winter of accumulation, the open area outside the city has been filled with stones and logs. The stones were stacked in positions calculated by scholars, then fixed with wood, filled into the crevices with a special mixture of mud and egg whites, and finally bricked the outer layer.
This is the city wall that Hu Bin is trying his best to build, the city wall design has a height of ten meters, an average thickness of three meters, the main gate is equipped with an iron gate and a dragon slashing stone, there are watchtowers on all sides, the original city tower design above the main gate is also applied to the outer wall, but the crossbow emplacements and perforations have been increased, Hu Bin is ready to return to the space to fill in the vacant city defense equipment.
The citizens of the city have begun to spontaneously organize and expand the land, and new buildings have been built in the outer city area. After the original city wall was demolished, Hu Bin rebuilt a small circle of walls in the center of the city and strengthened it as the inner city wall, and most of the buildings in the inner city were also relocated to the outer city. Hu Bin's idea was changed again and again, and finally decided that the long pain was better than the short pain, and designed the inner city as a fortress-like building.
Huge underground storage room, garrison area, garrison area, support Yongdao, city lord's mansion. One design after another was overturned, and finally after many scholars' discussions, the architectural plan of the inner city was determined.
Hu Bin didn't let go of the space in the outer city, and several open spaces were encircled, but Hu Bin prepared for the catapult in the future. Hu Bin then divided the outer city into several areas, including market areas, residential areas, military garrison areas, and so on. The temple was built near residential and commercial areas, and the area occupied could almost become a separate area, so Hu Bin waved his pen, and the temple area was born.
The new city was built on a scale that could accommodate up to 70,000 people (there were vassal farms outside the city), for which Hu Bin invested nearly 300,000 dinars, and will continue to do so for some time to come. Fortunately, after the temple in the city is completed, the donations raised by the believers can alleviate Hu Bin's financial crisis, and the moon well water produced and the divine power to give back can also bring some benefits to Hu Bin.

···”
As the natural temple is about to be completed, Hu Bin has also received feedback from the goddess, which is enough to make his divine power limit exceed 300 points, he can use ordinary primary divine arts effortlessly, and he can also choose three intermediate divine techniques as his own specialization, which greatly strengthens his spell means (spiritual concentration is nothing more than a divine technique that reduces the release conditions and consumption, and only the convenience that can be obtained by the favor of the gods).
Without hesitation, Hu Bin chose three intermediate divine techniques: Range Accelerated Growth, Range Plant Nourishment, and Moon Fire Technique.
The two divine techniques in front of him consume a huge amount, which is not something that Hu Bin can afford at this stage, but Hu Bin can release it after becoming a master. With the cooperation of the two magic techniques, you can ensure the healthy and rapid growth and maturity of crops, and you will no longer have to worry about food and grass in the future. Moreover, when preaching, the two divine arts are simply a weapon to expand the number of goddess believers and accelerate the growth of the upper limit of his divine power, which also allows Hu Bin to use his divine power to make profits in his free time.
As a warrior-type numberer, Hu Bin's defense mainly relies on armor rather than spell shields, and there is no lack of means to recover, but there is no spell attack to take, either it can't cause considerable output, or it runs out of energy after using up one move, so the embarrassing situation has finally been resolved. As a classic single attack technique, the advanced magic technique of the Lunar Eclipse Technique, the Moon Fire Technique, is quite powerful, and after becoming a concentrated spirit, the consumption has been reduced a lot, which is suitable for Hu Bin to use.
"Moonfire: Attack the god's enemies with a cloud of divine power and cold flames, burning the opponent's life force and magic. Deals 50~100 damage and the same amount of mana damage, consumes 80 divine power (25% reduction in specialization), and doubles the power of moonlit nights. ”
What Hu Bin appreciates most is the damage to the magic of this magic, it is estimated that the energy value of the numberer will be drained of the energy value, which is much stronger than the curse, you must know that the energy value of the warrior-type numberer is not too much, and many powerful skills also need energy value matching, draining the energy value is equivalent to pulling out the tiger's teeth, what a perverted spell.
"It's a pity that the consumption is still a little bigger." Hu Bin, who was cheap and obedient, saw that he could only use the moon fire five times in his heyday, and deeply felt the lack of divine power.
It was already the beginning of March, the basic framework of the temple had been completed, and Hu Bin had to complete the last step of building the temple, which was to plant the tree seeds and moon shadow stones given by the goddess in the natural courtyard of the main hall, and then hand over the work to the goddess.
As the tree species was planted, a sapling burst out of the soil, and the divine power in the Moonshadow Stone quickly replenished the consumption of the courtyard. Hu Bin was slightly surprised to see that the sapling grew taller and taller, and finally became a tall and stout oak tree. However, the growth did not end, and the oak branches protruded from the roof along the pre-made holes, leaving a shade above the temple, and the trunk continued to thicken until half of the courtyard was occupied.
The Moon Shadow Stone slowly descended to the soil, was grabbed by a tree root and carried underground, and then a well appeared next to the trunk of the tree, and Hu Bin looked through the mouth of the well to the bottom of the well, and a thin layer of well water rippled in it, reflecting a flawless full moon. Hu Bin looked up and found that there was nothing but the branches of the big tree, this is the moon well, it's really magical.
Hu Bin knew from the slight tremor of the ground that where he could not see, the root system of the oak must have spread to the entire temple area, this big tree was the ancient tree of knowledge given by the goddess, and it was also the key to the temple to cultivate sacrifices, it can be said that the core of the temple in the future is this ancient tree. This ancient tree of knowledge is still very young, and as it grows older, its abilities will also increase, and of course, it can also accelerate its growth with rich divine power and some rare treasures.
Hu Bin put his hand on the trunk of the ancient tree, letting the divine power of his whole body slowly flow into the trunk, the ancient tree shook its branches, through the talent of the elf, Hu Bin knew that it was the ancient tree to thank him.
Although the Nature God Cult also has the existence of male sacrifices, as a land walker of the goddess, the female sacrifice is more favored by the moon god, which makes Hu Bin have to issue an announcement to recruit a group of girl believers, which makes people can't help but have some other conjectures, such as Lord Reed likes to train female priests and the like.
Hu Bin admits that the uniform temptation of the priestess profession is very strong, and the moon god is not opposed to the marriage of the sacrifice, as a young and promising aristocratic model and the identity of the goddess Hu Bin's patron, he is not a little tempted by the girls, but the problem is that the appearance of women in the warband world is really not in line with his aesthetics.
The families of these young believers have been taken care of accordingly, and as sacrificial candidates, their status is much higher than before, if they become official sacrifices in the future and obtain the right to use divine arts, then they will be higher than the status of ordinary nobles, which makes the number of young girls who sign up for the temple increase rapidly, and even some families travel long distances to Muradin, just to make their daughters become sacrificial candidates.
Hu Bin was still struggling with the problem of the sacrificial personnel before, but now he felt a headache about the number of people who came to apply, he had to set several standards, and issued a decree from the mouth of the Sultan of Hakim, the selection of sacrifices in various places was carried out in the churches of various places, and the selected people were concentrated in Muradin for the second screening.
With a dignified face, a pure heart, and a firm faith, Hu Bin finally selected the first batch of sacrificial candidates, and the development of the temple in the future depends on them.
Many of the unsuccessful girls' families were not convinced, and asked the Divine Sect why many girls who had lost their virginity could also be elected, and in the end, even Hu Bin was shocked, in fact, many noble ladies also joined the selection.
Hu Bin found Lorraine, who was directly in charge of the matter, and listened to Lorraine sneering and explained that in fact, whether or not to maintain chastity has nothing to do with whether or not he can be a sacrifice, otherwise there would be no canon that does not restrict sacrificial marriage. However, because most women are contaminated with ** after losing their chastity, they cannot guarantee the purity of their hearts, so there is such a misunderstanding, in fact, it is not uncommon for women to lose their chastity and still maintain their pure hearts.
"It seems that I am indeed unprofessional, so leave it to the professional." Hu Bin immediately became the shopkeeper and let Lorraine take full charge of the affairs of the Divine Religion.
