5. Foothold Chapter 201 The Dragon's Lair - Chapter 202 A Visit to Dongjun

In the southern part of the Izumo Mountains, in a col in the Green Cloak Forest, a voice suddenly came from the silent forest.

In a dark and dark cave, a figure slowly walked out, it was Donald who had returned to the surface from the dark world underground.

In addition to him, the old mage Messer, and the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture, there were five more figures in the team than when they entered the underworld. Four of them were Carlisle, who was about to follow Donald to the surface, and one was the bronze dragon Nozdorm.

Because the dragon was too big to pass through the tunnels, Donald ordered Nozdorm to transfigurate into human form and follow them away.

Transfiguration is one of the natural spells of the dragon family, which can generally only transform itself, transform into the form of a human or elf, and can also change the size of the dragon itself. Usually in the period of young dragons, the dragons can change into human form. As for the forms of other creatures, the arrogant dragons basically disdain to change, and only humans and elves who are also highly intelligent creatures will be accepted by them.

"Here, you'd better wear this!"

The eyes of many creatures living in the dark regions have adapted to the dark environment underground, and races like the dark elves, who have migrated there for thousands of years, have basically evolved dim vision.

Staying in the ground for a long time without sunlight and suddenly being in the sunny surface world will naturally cause great stings in the eyes, and in severe cases, there may be blindness.

So before he could get out of the hole, Donald took out a few sets of hooded cloaks and handed them to the four of Carlisle, lest they hurt their eyes too much.

Carlisle and the others naturally knew this, and they all took their cloaks and put them on.

They are all in the mood to be able to come to the surface, compared to the dark region where they are in the midst of conspiracy and killing every day, the surface world is nothing less than heaven for them, although it also has all kinds of imperfections.

In particular, Carlisle, the original surface human, is very nostalgic for the sun, green grass, forests, streams, and other common things on the surface.

When the group all walked out of the cave, they saw Carlisle in a cloak who couldn't care about the hot tears that flowed from the sun's dazzling eyes, and he was lying on the ground greedily sniffing the unique fragrance of the earth's earth.

There is also the smell of grass.

"I'm finally back again......"

As for the three Abels, because they have lived in the underground world for too long, they can't adapt to this kind of light for a while, so they can only cover their faces with cloaks, endure the discomfort of their eyes, and secretly observe the long-awaited surface world through their fingers.

"What a fresh breath!"

Compared to the dreary air underground, the vast forest that is the oxygen bar of nature is naturally 100 times fresher, and it immediately refreshes everyone's mind.

Fortunately, the sunlight in the forest was not too violent, and after a while of adaptation, the four Carlisle finally temporarily adapted to the intensity of the light here, even if Jerm, who was a dark elf, still did not dare to open his eyes directly, but he no longer shed tears.

At this time, the half-blood dark elf mage was squinting his eyes and observing the plants around him, and his heart was unconsciously filled with a sense of happiness.

"Father, I have finally come to your hometown, free from the cage-like underground world, and there are no cruel and ruthless dark elves, no more vicious and perverted spider queens!"

Seeing that the emotions of the four Carlyle had calmed down, Donald said: "It's time to go, this is just the Green Cloak Forest, I will arrange a place for you to live in the territory, and you will have to see it when the time comes!"

"Hmm!

Without looking back, the four men did not look back at the entrance to the underground world, and followed Donald out of the forest.

When the group left the forest and came to the outside of the town, it was the busiest time of the day.

"What a prosperous Chengfeng!"

When Carlisle was young, he followed his adoptive father to the north and south, and he also saw many people in the noble domain, but a prosperous town like Makusè is rare, and it is generally only seen in important towns and even near the royal capital.

Moreover, it seems that the common people in the past have all smiles on their faces, and there are no poor people with vegetables on their faces, so it is conceivable that the inhabitants of this town must be relatively rich.

"Welcome to Dalaran, where hopes and dreams are born!"

Donald waved his hand and walked into the town first.

"The lord is back......"

When the people on both sides saw Donald coming, they all stopped and bent down in salute, a kind of visceral respect that few others could see.

Now the four of Carlisle and the others are becoming more and more curious about Donald, a surface nobleman, and even the three members of the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture have seen Donald's status in this territory.

To be able to develop and build an originally barren land into such a prosperous area in less than a year, and the people's desire and the cohesion of the territory are extremely strong, what kind of genius can do this?

The layout of the town is very different from that of ordinary towns in the world, compared to the messy layout of other towns, the conditions are simple, and basically can only be described by three words: dirty and messy, and the town is undoubtedly synonymous with cleanliness and beauty.

According to Donald's original plan... The square town is divided in strict accordance with geometry from the "wide" field to the street, and there is a neat row of crystal street lamps standing next to the main road, which is a magic crystal lamp driven by a blank crystal.

And every once in a while, there is a cylindrical garbage bin, and pedestrians consciously throw their garbage into it, and no one will litter it.

The neat stone pavement was spotless, and the widest could accommodate seven or eight horse-drawn carriages in parallel.

Such a perfect and tidy environment, not to mention the four of them, even the three of them, who are high-ranking people of the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture, have only seen them in the royal palaces and the headquarters of the major churches, but now they appear in a remote town, even if they are not comfortable seeing it for the first time, they are still surprised in their hearts.

When he came to the lord's palace with the group, the main officials of Dalaran were all outside the door to greet him.

After a brief introduction, everyone entered the lord's mansion together.

As they passed the huā garden in front of the hall of the lord's house, Carlisle and his team saw several well-dressed pedestrians collecting water in front of a stone pool in the courtyard and pouring water on the huā with buckets. I can't help but feel very novel.

"What is this? It comes out of the water automatically, is it a spring from the ground?"

In the face of Carlisle's inquiry, William explained for the master with a smile: "This is a tap water system invented by the lord, using crystal as a pipe, pumping clean water in the cistern through an alchemy device, and then applying it to all places in the lord's mansion, so that both daily drinking water and kitchen water are much more convenient, and there is a water source convenient for washing hands in the dressing room of the lord's mansion, even the king does not have such a convenient enjoyment!"

After listening to William's story, everyone became even more curious.

Donald had been preparing for a few months of running water popularization, and now in addition to the Lord's Mansion, the Forest House Hotel, the Alchemy Fire Equipment Store, and the Inn Tavern in Makusè Town have been connected to running water. There is also a public water point in the town, which makes it easier for residents to get water, so that they don't have to go back and forth to the Moonlight Lake to get water.

Of course, the source of these tap water is not the reservoir under the lord's mansion, and the only purified tap water is the manor and the lord's mansion, after all, although the purification circle is not expensive, it is also a large expense in the long run, and it is impossible to use the entire territory.

So Donald ordered a water station to be built on the shores of Moonlight Lake to provide water to the town of Makusè, a few miles away.

Anyway, the water of Moonlight Lake is much cleaner after purification than drinking river water directly in other areas, and there is no need to worry about any diseases.

Of course, Donald still attaches great importance to the protection of water sources and water pipelines, and personally issued several relevant laws to prevent someone from inadvertently destroying and polluting water sources.

For the time being, the guests were arranged to live in the Lord's Mansion, and Donald didn't even deal with the affairs accumulated in the territory, so he went to arrange the residence of the bronze dragon Nozdorm first.

As a dragon, it can't live in human form all the time. Although the bronze dragon Xi Xìng in this world prefers human food and can survive on human food for a long time, Donald, the owner, must also arrange a nest for it.

Before he returned, Donald had already thought that the most suitable location was a peak in the Izumo Mountains in the northern part of Lake Moonlight Lake, which was the highest peak in the southern part of Izumo Mountain, far away from the territorial crowds, but with the flight speed of a giant dragon, it could fly quickly to the lake, which was very suitable for the nesting of bronze dragons in the water system.

With such the closest to their own territory, the dragons have an abundant source of food in the vast forest, and the bronze dragon king Nozdorm, whose strength is comparable to that of ordinary legends, there must be no demonic beasts who dare to infest!

With Nozdorm's cooperation, Donald soon opened up more than a dozen rock caves on this mountain, large and small, In addition to Nozdorm, Donald once again permanently summoned a pair of young bronze dragons and ten juvenile bronze dragons. The other caves were prepared for them.

Adult dragons are all level 10 in the summoning list of the Book of Truth, which is a gold-level existence, and in addition to summoning the perfect spirit that only heroes need, they need a huge amount of energy to create that powerful body for them.

It can be said that it takes more energy to create a dragon than to build a castle in the main city of the Terrans, so even if Donald has the huge source of divine power, he does not plan to summon another golden dragon for the time being.

However, it is still possible to summon a few young dragons and young dragons that consume a lot less, and when the time comes, those young dragons and young dragons will grow up in a few decades, and it will be a big family of dragons, and their own territory has this powerful force, and they can almost not be afraid of any force in the main world!

"Anyway, after obtaining the elven bloodline and the god xìng, my lifespan will be longer! ”

Chapter 202 Visiting Nose County Compared to evil dragons such as red dragons and black dragons, the bronze dragon is the only dragon species that Donald is suitable for summoning in the Book of Truth. If there are other evil dragons, then even if those dragons are under their control, others will not believe it, and they will inevitably cause trouble of one kind or another.

In addition, compared to the black dragons who like to live underground and swamps, the red dragons and blue dragons of volcanoes or deserts, there are waters such as Moonlight Lake in the territory, which is very suitable for bronze dragons to live.

"Nozdom and these bronze dragons are all dependent on you to take care of, they are all your juniors!"

The Bronze Dragon King naturally didn't deliberately shake "Obey, master!"

Donald nodded, and teleported back to the territory.

In addition to their limited experience, these dragons are completely no different from the real dragons in this world, and even the bloodline talent is higher, presumably in a few years of growth, these young dragons will soon grow into young dragons whose strength is relative to that of high-level professionals, then their territory will have a real dragon army.

However, it takes too long for a young dragon to grow into an adult dragon, at least a few decades or more, and as for expecting the dragons to reproduce on their own, even if there is a female dragon pregnant now, it will not grow at all without a hundred and eighty years. Therefore, this plan has a long way to go, and for now, it can only rely on Nozdorm, the Eternal King, and two pairs of young dragons to support the field.

It's still not enough to have the power of the spirit, otherwise it would be good to directly manifest two adult dragons.

Young dragons can survive by eating once a month, and most of the time they rely on absorbing elemental energy to maintain their strength, while young dragons do not eat much, and they will be full as long as they eat once every three days.

Unlike the young dragons and young dragons whose bodies need to grow, gold-level beings like Norddorm can almost eat for a whole year without eating simple elemental energy as long as they are full at one time, and the pure elemental energy can promote the purification and growth of their strength, of course, their food consumption is also quite amazing, and the amount of food they eat at a time is almost less than that of a young dragon in a year.

Fortunately, the Izumo Mountain Range is extremely vast, and the Green Cloak Forest is even more resourceful, so it was no problem to support so many Warcraft Lords before, but now let Nozdorm go and destroy a few places on his own, and divide the original territory of those Warcraft... For his own territory, even a few more adult dragons can be raised.

You must know that the lower the level of animal reproduction speed and fertility, the stronger the fertility, and the existence at the top of the food chain like the dragon, the fertility cycle is calculated in ten years as the lowest unit, from the remaining dragon eggs to the successful hatching of the young dragon, and then to grow into a young dragon, it takes more than a hundred years, which is often two or three generations after mortals have passed.

After returning to the territory, Donald had the time to call William and other officials to inquire about the current state of the territory.

"Lord Lord, now our Dalaran militia garrison has one hundred and thirty regular members and fifty reserve members, ready to fight at any time!"

After Clinton was promoted to bronze and was responsible for managing the adventurer's guild, the militia garrison was handed over to Barn, the captain, to preside. Judging from the situation in the past few months, he has done a good job as the captain of the garrison.

Next, Murray and the others also reported on the sales of the Alchemy Fire Shop, William reported on the progress of the construction of the territory project, and Clinton reported on the situation of the Adventurers' Guild.

Finally, Augusta and Jesse reported on the commercial development of the territory and the current financial reserves of Dalaran.

"Lord Lord, the canned food industry has been launched, and the four major industries have attracted many foreigners for us, the farthest even from the south of the kingdom, and more than half of the shops and sales in the commercial street have been rented out in the past half a month, and the foreign population of the territory has exceeded the number of official lords, bringing a large amount of income to the territory. However, the sales situation has been a bit chaotic during this period!"

"Oh, what's going on?"

Augusta explained: "That's right, because after the introduction of canned ice roe, the shelf life has been greatly extended, so merchants everywhere have seen the benefits, especially the merchants in the East County, because of the proximity to Leighton Harbor, many have sea ships, and they can be sold for several times the price after being transported to Gardley, so some nearby traders take advantage of the geographical advantage to raise the selling price to those merchants from far away who can't get a share, resulting in some confusion in the sales of canned ice roe." ”

"Look at you, there's a solution, right?"

Augusta said confidently: "Yes, my lord! I mean to ask your lord to visit Dongshire, communicate with several major chambers of commerce and nobles there, and sign a contract, and in the future, our goods in Dalaran will be sold to them at the normal price, so as to prevent those traders from asking for prices arbitrarily!"

"Not bad!"

Donald clapped his hands and said: "Our territory should also set up a chamber of commerce organization, I have a means of transportation like the alchemy airship, which is more convenient and faster than other merchants' carriages and ships, and has the advantage of speed, if you directly open an air trade route to Leighton Harbor, the annual benefits will be greater, so as not to let those middle merchants earn in vain!"

"Great!"

As soon as Augusta heard about this plan... , and immediately rejoiced. With his business acumen, he quickly figured out the advantages of doing so.

Decided on the plan ... Immediately after that, Augusta went to prepare the goods.

Donald instructed William to arrange a residence for the four of Carlisle near the Lord's Palace, and as for their plans in the future, Donald was not in a hurry to know, and it was not too late to wait for them to adapt to life in Dalaran.

After doing this, Donald went to talk to his teacher and Chris about his experience in the underworld.

Now that Donald is about to break through to the silver high level, his strength realm is no longer inferior to Chris and Malf and their brothers and sisters, often a truth he says will make other mages have a lot of insights, communicate with each other, and progress is much faster than those mages who study behind closed doors.

Merlin, a disciple, has been following Messer and Chris to receive basic teachings, but Donald, the real teacher, has not taught him anything, just giving him a name. So taking advantage of the time, Donald also systematically instilled in his disciples that he had sorted out the mage bottles, which were different from orthodox mages, and Donald's cultivation and learning methods combined with the modern education theories of his previous life, more similar to the ancient arcanist's scientist-like system. Not only Merlin's apprentice, but even Messer and Chris were greatly affected, thinking that this was the real mage.

After only three days back on the territory, Donald packed his bags and prepared to hit the road again.

This time, because the business channels with the East County side are too chaotic, so Donald plans to go to Layton Harbor, the capital of the East County, of course, the actual affairs still depend on Jesse and Augusta, the two diplomats and commercial directors to negotiate with the East County nobles and merchants, and he, the lord, is just sitting in the ranks, so as not to be underestimated if his status is not enough!

This time she also had to take Catherine with her, since Catherine had stayed in Dalaran, Donald had spent less time with her. It's also the reason why things are crowded together during this period of time. Now that I have a little spare time, it is natural to spend more time with my own women. Anyway, Dongjun is the area of the Celtic Kingdom by the sea, and the scenery is different from other places, so it is used as a public expense to travel.

This trip was not a carriage, but three goblin airships, because Donald didn't think the name goblin airship was not very appropriate, and calling it out was afraid that it would conflict with the goblin business alliance that likes to be careful, so he changed the name to alchemy airship, anyway, the goblins in the game have nothing to do with the goblins in this world.

In addition to the high-ranking officials such as Donald and Jesse, the three airships also brought a team of musket guards from the lord's guard this time, as well as Uther and Kael'thas accompanying them, with these powers, even if they encounter hundreds of thieves, they are not afraid.

What's more, the alchemy airship walks in the air, and those thieves can't reach their tails.

As for the territory, there are not only four silver mages in charge now, but also a few guests of Carlisle, if someone really dares to attack, it is estimated that Carlisle and they will not sit idly by. After Carlisle temporarily sealed the cursed bloodline by the goddess of agriculture, the sequelae of using the forbidden power before were greatly alleviated, and there is no problem in doing it now.

In the hands of Carlisle, the top Golden Swordmaster, Donald can only wish good luck to those who may come to attack. (To be continued.) !。
