Chapter Seventy-Six: Migration of Displaced People
Not to mention Donald's return to the territory of the North County, it is just that the black-robed mage returned to the mage association in a panic after losing face and suffering at the auction meeting.
Angry, he came to the fifth floor of the Mage Tower, and cried before the residence of his teacher, a golden ** master.
The golden ** master is an old man who looks thin and thin, with withered skin, don't look at this person who looks like he is about to die, but that is just the appearance, and the old body contains terrifying power.
Although after becoming a spellcaster, the higher the strength, the longer the lifespan. However, mages who focus on cultivating the spiritual side are known for their physical weakness, and the more advanced the mage, the stronger the spiritual aspect, and on the contrary, the body will become weaker and weaker when it is corroded by the power of spells.
Especially some mages who are stuck in a bottleneck for some reason and can't be promoted, even if they are promoted to the stage of the golden ** division after many years, but because they miss the best time to use the power of the law to transform their bodies, unless they use external forces or themselves to advance to the legendary realm, it is difficult to recover the lost years, and it is even more difficult to go further.
This golden ** master is obviously like this, because of the collapse of the Ban Nai Empire, the loss of the mage's inheritance, the path of the mage's promotion is becoming more and more difficult, and the situation of several other golden ** masters in the entire mage association is also similar to this one, so these powerful but death-facing ** masters will begin to go to the extreme, resulting in the decay of the mage association.
After listening to his disciple's cry, the ** master was silent for a while before he slowly spoke:
"So, you have already planned to embezzle the public funds of the association, and use the strength of silver and the association to force the other party, not only did you not succeed in getting the silver moon coins you wanted, but also lost face in front of everyone?"
Hearing that the teacher's tone was wrong, the black-robed mage hurriedly broke out in a cold sweat and explained with sincere fear:
"It's all to blame for the fifteenth immortal's immortal order to his guards, the strength of the other party's golden mage prevents me from putting pressure on those juniors, I can't resist at all, so I didn't succeed!
"If you make a mistake, sincerely repent, don't make excuses like this or that!" the old mage's dim eyes lit up, and his tone changed.
"And do you want me to go to the one to save face for you? You must know that that person is not a golden mage, let alone a guard of the fifteenth, but an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, even if a few gold in our association are put together, it is only enough for the other party to clean up a few hands. Beast, are you trying to kill your teacher?"
"It's not gold, it's ......."
The black-robed mage was soaked with sweat at that time, and hurriedly begged for mercy:
"Teacher save me, I know it's wrong......"
The old mage took a breath and said angrily:
"Don't worry, with that person's strength, you won't be able to get along with your junior, you will be cultivating in the closed room of the Mage Tower for a period of time, and don't go out again, which can be regarded as a punishment for you damaging the reputation of the association, otherwise I won't be able to talk about it with the other old guys." ”
Only then did the black-robed mage happily suppress his fear, and he left with palpitations.
.................. With the goblin airship, it is very convenient for Donald to travel to and from various parts of the kingdom, compared to the seven days required to travel through the royal capital and the northern county by horse-drawn carriage, the goblin airship flying in the air is much faster, shortening this time to one-tenth, almost half a day to reach the destination, and there is only one day and one night to go back and forth between the two places.
Before he left, Donald had summoned the Terran town hall to the location of the original Lorddom ruins. It is a flat terrain with a radius of more than 10 kilometres, and is the only part of the territory that is not completely covered by forest vegetation.
The town hall, the primary main building unit of the human race, is a simple European-style town embodied in this world, the overall area of the town covers an area of one hectare, the perimeter is a red brick and stone wall, and the center of the town is a double-storey villa-style town hall, which covers an area of nearly 1,000 square meters before the double-storey European-style building, is a bluestone square that can accommodate thousands of people to gather.
The building in the center of the town hall is Donald's Lord's House. In addition to the lord's house, there are all kinds of buildings and facilities such as streets and houses in the town, but there are no private houses.
Of course, the embodied town is only a general one, and it can't be too large, and it is only about half of the Red Maple Town, but if it is compact now, it can accommodate three or five thousand people, which is completely enough for the rich and rich. After all, there are not even a few people in Dalaran now, and even if it develops in the future, it can gradually expand from both sides of the town to the periphery. Anyway, Donald's territory is not short of land, and the towns in the territory are already complete, and as long as the townspeople are summoned, they can choose their own houses in the area they plan.
Of course, Donald, who has a sense of business planning in his previous life, also vacated the location of the two intersecting main streets of the Lord's Mansion and the center of the square, and is ready to build a commercial street and façade of the territory, and in the future, he will lease out those shops and become a real estate merchant, after all, there are examples from the previous life, as long as the economy can attract people to move in, those who are engaged in real estate or have multiple properties at home will make a lot of money.
At the same time, the rear of the lord's mansion will also be a private land, except for the people in his own mansion, outsiders are not allowed to snoop, which is for the sake of safety and common sense.
After returning, Donald exchanged the remaining resources for four guard towers to stand in the four corners of the town's walls, and was willing to spend money to upgrade them into arrow towers with several times more defense and attack power. Compared to the original manor, this town is the real foundation of his foothold in this world, so it must be more valued and cannot be missed.
A mysterious tower has also been erected in the backyard of the Lord's Palace, which is one of the three directions of the Terran sentry tower provincial defense building, this magic defense tower with two effects of magic feedback and magic power consumption, combined with four arrow towers, the formation of a defensive circle is enough to cover the entire town.
"Although the attack power of the Tower of Mystery is relatively low, it can restrain most low-level spellcasters in a targeted manner, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for casters below bronze to make trouble in the town. In the future, it may be possible to transform it into a truly powerful mage tower. ”
"I have the identity of a mage, why do you have to build a mage tower to have a deterrent effect!"
The Ansels were very efficient and quick, and on the third day of Donald's return to the realm, the border mountain people who had promised him were quickly escorted over.
The person in charge of escorting the mountain people was a steward of the Ansel family. The female steward was probably in her thirties, and she seemed to be charming, but she was shrewd and capable, and she did things without smiling, so it was no wonder that she could be used by the Ansel family.
"Lord Baron, Wen Sally has been ordered to escort the mountain people, fifteen people died of illness on the way, and the remaining total is nine hundred and seventy-five, please Lord Baron to receive it!"
"Good!"
Donald took the roster of mountain people handed over by the housekeeper Wen Sally, nodded with satisfaction, and said to the housekeeper behind him:
"Butler, you go and help Steward Windsor arrange the displaced people in the town square temporarily, and then count the households!"
"Yes, young master!"
Butler Cord took the order, and Donald began to sort out the undeveloped development plan of the territory.
The area of the new territory is vast, and even if he has a high-level artifact like the Book of Truth, he can't take care of all aspects in a short time, so he will focus on developing the plains of the original lorddom first.
Donald named the newly built town Twilighttown, which corresponds to the forest between Manor and Boulder City, and the southern part of the territory is named Twilight Forest.
As for the part north of Twilight that belongs to the Green Cloak Forest, it is named Moonlight Glade. The most of his territory is forest landforms, which is why he remembered these two names. And go to the Boulder City Noble Administration to find Sir Jesse to file a case, and these two will be the official names of the two forests in the future! This kind of trivial matter does not have to apply to the noble council like changing the family crest, and it is basically up to the lord to decide on his word.
Both of these names are forest place names from previous games, and although he is just one of the many players, it doesn't stop him from liking that game.
The place where the tree of life took root was in the north of the manor, west of Twilight Town, in the moonlight woodland between the two forests in the north and south, originally thinking that he would be able to find out in time if any magical beasts entered the manor, and under the nourishment of the natural enchantment, the originally barren manor land was recovering little by little, and it was estimated that it would not be long before it could be reclaimed and planted.
At the beginning, Donald decided to put the big manor on hold for the time being, and only concentrate on running the small manor for a while, and then solve it once and for all when the root of the mutation was found! Now it seems that with the existence of the Tree of Life, there will basically be no problems.
The newly built Twilight Town forms a triangular area with the Night Manor and the Tree of Life to the west, and the open space between them is gentle and relatively fertile, which is the core of the future development of Dalaran's territory.
Due to the influence of the natural enchantment, the area around the Moonlight Glade is full of greenery and is also home to the Tree of Life, so Donald intends to use this place as a settlement for the elves he will summon in the future.
Three days later, the mountain people were temporarily settled, and they were both shocked and delighted by the quaint and beautiful town in front of them.
Because the Marquis of Ansel faces the threat of orcs all the year round, the people here are fierce, especially in some border areas, and the life is even more difficult and materially barren.
In addition to the mountain people, only some bandits and others are hiding in it. There may be a few of these mountain people.
However, I heard that my new lord is a powerful mage, and the territory is located in the northernmost part of the northern county without orc invasion, and most of the ordinary mountain people who have just lost their homes are still very satisfied with migrating here, at least they don't have to threaten the orcs in the future.
As for the guys of unknown origin hidden among the outcasts, Donald didn't care much about it, and if he didn't follow the rules in his own territory, he would have the means to rectify them in the future.
There were more than 900 of these 200 new households, and after all of them were registered, they officially became subjects in the territory of the Merlinna family.
However, these subjects were instigated to form a group, and Donald strictly established a household registration system, scattering them around the town.
