Chapter 100 Development and Everyday Life
Although Catrion had accepted that Andrari was indeed different from the brutal invaders of hundreds of years ago, he still didn't have a good face when he saw André himself.
"This is the leader of the druids, one of the elders of the Watchmen, Katrion Longwind. Judeon introduced to the Children of the Abyss, "and my uncle and Maserion. ”
"Welcome, dear elders. André responded enthusiastically, "Recently, I happened to be planning a special project, and I need the support of all the druids and goddess priests, and you may be interested in hearing about it. ”
"Isn't the plan for the construction of the temple of Mother Earth Goddess already in the morning?" said Yudeon, who was a little surprised.
"Not that...... In fact, a few of my subordinates have already started to spike in the amount of food they have eaten in the past two days, and in our experience, it should be that the advance is imminent. In order to give them the best possible environment for advancement, I discussed with my leaders and decided to rebuild the blood pool. ”
“...... Pool of blood!?" Yudeon and his uncle, who was looking more and more unkind, exchanged glances.
......
"This is the Alienated Demon Race that has completed its advancement through the effect of the blood pool?" Catrion's expression was as if a senior biologist had seen some emerging species, frowning and groaning silently for a while, and then couldn't help but pinched the strong muscles of the Kura Demon curiously.
Kulani stood in place with an embarrassed face, motionless as he was examined by the Druid Elders. However, the loyal "Long Legs" and "Whirlwind" around him seem to have a great opinion of Catharon, who is "bullying" his master, just as they are eager to doubt the color of the bad old man in front of them with their hard yellow beaks. Yudeon used his life magic to play a trick of emerald light, successfully attracting the attention of the two marshbirds.
This one is a head taller than cowards and goblins, and shorter than succubius and elves, and although not as stocky as dwarves, it feels more agile than dwarves. It's a very unique body type, and Catrion thinks that if he has seen it before, he will be impressed...... Maybe this is really a rare and special new species of alienated demons?
The Druid Elder was intrigued by the artificial magic that was rumored to be a cowardly creature that could help the demons advance. It's just that this is Garandia after all, and whether it can successfully generate the kind of unique miracle that only the legendary demon world can only appear in is still unknown.
By the time Andrari's son of the abyss, his attainments in the formation engraving were completely beyond Catharion's expectations.
After determining the location of the blood pool, André worked in the clearing, relying on the heavy vertical lines used by the dwarven stonemasons for construction and the standard triangular rulers of the elven carpenters. Judeon discovered that the Children of the Abyss had used only this rudimentary tool to divide a standard circle with a radius of fifteen feet into tenth-standard twelve equal parts. And extend inward from the first layer of three equally spaced rune engraving points, as well as six on the second layer and nine on the third layer...... Extending outward to thirty-six points on the seventh floor.
The three, sixth, ninth, twelfth, eighteenth, twenty-fourth, and thirty-sixth magic array frameworks alone already made the druid elders who were proficient in this way awe-inspiring. In Catharon's opinion, perhaps the altar array where the King of Nations opened the door of the world back then was nothing more than that, but it was bound to be much larger in scale.
Solve the formation architecture with a simple application of geometry, then the next problem comes. It is known that the formation of a blood pool requires a steady stream of life and shadow magic, but how to distribute the shadow runes and life runes to achieve the best effect of the formation gathering mana?
This requires the experience of the druids.
Elves used similar tactics in clearing farmland, orchards, and building altars and temples of goddesses. So wouldn't it be better to just apply the rune structure commonly used by the druids and the priests, and then insert some shadow runes appropriately?
Theoretically, yes, but this unjustified approach is far from the optimal goal that Andrei envisioned. What is the best ratio of shadow magic to life mana?, and this must also take into account the actual situation here in the river valley, that is, the scattered life breath near the town at the edge of the forest, and the shadow magic is relatively much thinner.
How big does this formation have to be to gather enough shadow magic? No one has any experience in this area, and the formation of the blood pool in the Shattered Sky Mountain last time may have more elements of chance.
Andrei came up with a theory that seemed very feasible, and that the forest was alive during the day and was more suitable for gathering life magic. At night, when everything begins to rest, the magic of the shadows becomes stronger. Since these two magical powers are not as incompatible as water and fire in the first place, wouldn't it be better to directly engrave two sets of overlapping Spirit Gathering Demon Arrays?
In order to test the feasibility of this idea, Catharon began to mobilize resources within the Watchmen. Request formation materials for building Life Mana and Shadow Mana. Anyway, there has been some progress in the discussion about the Elven Kingdom's full involvement in Andrarui, so it is better to come up with some even more shocking results. While the demons seem to be the ultimate beneficiaries of this project, the Druid Elders believe in one simple truth - no knowledge is inherently tainted with sin, and good and evil usually come from those who discover and apply them.
Once this novel theory is confirmed, then the elves' techniques on the compound circle will also be very valuable first-hand information.
......
The formation of the blood pool seems to be a long and complicated process without the intervention of the will of the abyss, and for this Andrei can only go with the flow.
The small town of Riverdale has recently welcomed several new visitors—a group of hobbits with smiling faces all day, jackals who speak the lingua franca unusually stumbling, and an elder of the Scaly Clan who belongs to the kingdom of the sea on a solo parade from the other end of the southern Misty Mountains.
The hobbits are Barnier Hawkins' friends, relatives, and neighbors. Their purpose is very clear, to experience and learn the flavors of Andrari's cuisine and the magic of distillation.
Livia had reminded his Highness that these were all of Andrari's most attractive special features, and that if they were all spread by the aliens, it would be a great loss for the tribe.
"There are some things that cannot be concealed if you try to hide them, and besides, while they learn from us, can't we learn from their styles and strengths?" said Andrei to his attendant.
Then the young succubus frowned so tightly and turned to arrange the details, and the relationship between her and her highness was completely different at different times - during the day, when outsiders were basically on business, and at night when no one was around, the two who had truly experienced the beauty of both sexes and the taste of the marrow would become like glue.
The Chewing Bone Tribe is a special tribe of gnolls, and in the past, like goblins, they relied on plundering the weak to supplement their tribe's resources. But since a few years ago, the wise Prophet Huck Spottail settled in the Chew Bone Tribe. The wise chief heeded the mysterious witch doctor, renounced some of the barbaric customs, and set some new rules.
For weaker travelers, the Chewy Bone Tribe will collect 10% of the goods and send the warriors of the tribe as escorts to escort them until they leave the tribe's sphere of influence. In the face of those who are as powerful as the Minotaur warrior squad, they will also provide some convenience and look for opportunities to exchange supplies. In recent years, traders and travelers who want to travel through the wilderness to the Whispering Forest have increasingly chosen to rest in the territory of the Chewy Bone Tribe, and the various materials they carry enrich the special resources of the Chewy Bone Tribe. Precious goods like table salt gave them a certain initiative in the trade of nearby tribes.
It's just a pity that there are still too few things that can be obtained by relying on the past merchants and bone chewing tribes, and the travelers are almost all passers-by, who says that they are not capable of making exquisite goods that people are attracted to like the creations of the elves?
As the second son of the chief and a witch medicine practitioner, Hogg Chewbone had to bring some surplus tribal supplies to the Whispering Forest, seeking to exchange goods with the tall, thin, and beautiful long-eared people.
......
"This is a new law drawn up by the Elven Kingdom of the Whispering Forest, the Druid Church, the Garlandia Temple, and Andrarui...... The aim is to effectively combat the disruption of natural cycles caused by the indiscriminate felling of trees and the hunting of wild creatures. All the people who live in Andrari and the Whispering Forest are required to present a 'hunting permit' issued by these organizations when selling natural products such as meat, furs, and medicinal herbs. And every year, it is necessary to actively review the corresponding annual examination and stamp the legal coat of arms of each organization...... Heavy taxes were also imposed on outsiders outside the Whispering Forest. This part of the tax is shared between the seller and the buyer, and the tax amount is set at 100% for small individual transactions. Large-scale collective transactions are taxed according to the specific transaction amount, and the basic criterion is that the larger the transaction volume, the higher the tax amount!"
The gnolls with their motled coats, together with the old men of the sea turtles with their carapaces, sat between the dwarves and the elves, listening intently as the druids on the stage announced the details of the bill.
"There are more rules here than our Bone Chewing Clan...... I heard the teacher say that rules are mainly used to restrict the behavior of outsiders, does it mean that more rules mean that there will be more and more outsiders in the future?"
But the druid on stage said that all the rules apply to the locals as well...... They also proposed this bill in response to the fact that the Whispering Forest will open up a large number of forest products in the future, and the legislation is to restrain people from excessively destroying the laws of all things set by the goddess Garlandia. ”
"The goddess is above...... "The gnoll man bows his head and prays.
"I wonder if this means that we sea tribes can also exchange more supplies through the Whispering Forest?" the elder turtle man with gray eyebrows muttered to himself thoughtfully.
Perhaps asking the druids to help deliver a letter about Andrari to the other side of the Misty Mountains would be his first priority as a member of the kingdom.
