This time, Emma's group healing technique mutation incident was finally suppressed by Luo Xia by force. Moon had tested the combat power of the blue fat man with tactical glasses before, and it was only level 20 green. Luo Xia barely made much effort to flatten the blue fat man to the ground in Emma's incredulous eyes, during which the blue fat man also cast some kind of shield on himself, but in the end he did not escape the fate of being flattened.

"Oh, listen to your description, maybe it's a Voidwalker. I remember that succubi were better at summoning this thing. "On the other end of the communication conch, old Levi gave his judgment.

"Generally speaking, when you don't attack a summoner, or when the summoner doesn't have an idea, it's a normal retinue, and they will only take action if the summoner is threatened or actively commanded. This underground should be that succubi are better at summoning this kind of void creature, not to mention that succubi are rich in mages, and it is safer to bring a meat shield by your side. ”

"Where did you kid hook up with the succubus?" at the end, Levi couldn't help but ask Moon.

"No, no, no, it's not a succubus, thank you, teacher, I still have something to do here, I'll greet you later. Moon quickly hung up the communication conch.

The reason why I didn't ask Gruba was because Moon was afraid of what kind of chaotic creature this blue fat man was, after all, Emma said that it always shouted hunger, and Gruba was the kind of creature that admired life, in case Gruba guessed something, and then solved Emma and the blue fat man together, then Moon would lose a lot.

Because Moon was thinking a little too much at this time, Simba was so aimed at himself, although the reason was quite boring, it was hard to guarantee that the three hundred slaves he gave him at the beginning would be no problem, and whether this Naga chick existed in the trading market before, or was stuffed into it later, it is difficult to say, he thinks that it is more likely to be stuffed in later.

In addition, Emma's more unique priesthood class, although it is also biased towards water-based magic, is very important for Jicheng City, which is desperately lacking in medical professions. Moon asks Tinty to 'spend' Emma, on the one hand, in the hope of getting something out that Moon Neng Guards can use, and on the other hand, to prevent her from causing trouble.

It's just that, it looks like Tihua doesn't fully understand what she means, and now I'm more like friends with Emma!? Forget it, Moon doesn't care too much, Tihua is that kind of character, it's good to be less scheming, she just has to be happy.

However, the teacher said that succubi are better at summoning void creatures, and he didn't say that other races can't summon them at all, so there shouldn't be any need to associate Emma with the succubus clan again.

At this time, Moon can only hope for this, Fury Flame has an inexplicable desire to kill his future Simba, the territory is a blank land, waiting to be built, and he has to go to Luselsa to lead the study of the Ancient Gate, plus the agreement with Gruba. Moon really wants to learn from Bone Dance that trick to invite Mingyue, if he can clone up, isn't it much easier.

"Young master, Gruba seems to have something to do with you. As soon as he returned to the room, Moon was about to lie down for a while, when he saw Luo Xia push the door and come in.

"What's the matter? Didn't Emma send someone to tell him about it? Moon didn't stop himself from falling back to the bed.

"I don't know about that, he didn't tell me. Luo Xia also felt very sorry for Moon, but she couldn't help him.

"Okay, okay, solve it early, liberate it early!" Moon struggled to get up from the bed, thinking of Gruba, and then thinking of the territory, since the dark blue forest can be regarded as taking it, then the next step is the most headache, suddenly there is such a large piece of territory. How to plan the territory, how to arrange the defense force, how to deal with the sudden shortage of soldiers, and how to deal with the refugees, Moon had a headache just thinking about it.

How did my father manage the storm collar like that, yes, my father has so many excellent subordinates, so he can naturally help him share a lot of things, but isn't that what my father has by virtue of his ability?

The military system does not need to worry about in a short period of time, and Jixiangcheng has its own mature system, but those guards let them take care of internal affairs and construction? I am afraid that they will not be killed. Thinking of this, Moon suddenly found that he didn't seem to have systematically studied territory management, so the teacher released him. Hey, can you also ask the teacher, good idea, good idea.

"Elder Gruba, what's the matter? Outside the city, Moon and Roxia stood at Gruba's feet. For the sake of convenience, Moon gave Gruba the title of Elder in charge, but fortunately, no one in Jicheng would object to Moon's decision.

"Moon, remember, I said earlier, I felt a hint of primal anger in you. ”

"Naturally, I remember, but I don't know where it came from. ”

"Well, I need you to tell me more about your trip to Fury. ”

"Well, how detailed do you want it?" Moon hesitated for a moment, and then thought about it, he told the other party all about the moon neng guard, and what else was the big deal.

"The more detailed, the better. ”

"That means, it has something to do with you treating me like a guinea pig?"

"Yes. Gruba didn't hesitate to affirm Moon's problem.

Moon finally told Gruba in detail about the butterfly transformation trial and his and Heidi's analysis of the whole thing, but he hid what he saw and heard in the illusion, and then the two sides fell into a long silence.

"You mean, the orcs used their souls to link the totem and connect the Tyflower to the Ancient Gate?"

"It's just my speculation and Heidi's, but it should be about the same. ”

"Heidi? Oh, you mean the little fox. Gruba didn't react for a moment, but then realized who Moon was talking about.

"O Ancient Gate. I really don't know much about that thing. Gruba paused and continued, "Moon, I need you to do something. ”

"Ahh Moon had no objection at all, and he had no choice. In fact, many times, the choice is only relative.

"I need you to go to the Ancient Gate of Black Shine, approach it, and touch it if you can. ”

Moon carefully confirmed Gruba's words, a little incredulous at the same time, a little happy, and even a little apprehensive. Why? Gruba said that he felt some kind of primal anger in himself, then his focus was on himself and the Ancient Gate of Fury, and now he was letting him go to the Ancient Gate of Black Yao. What does this mean, it means that Gruba thinks that Moon has a connection to the Ancient Gate!

Fortunately, it was simple, although there was no clear agreement between Moon and Gruba about how much Moon needed to do for Gruba, but now it seems that if it has anything to do with the door, it will be at most six, after all, there are only six ancient gates in this underground world, at least for now. Moreover, going to Lucersa to receive it was originally one of Moon's plans. Isn't this equivalent to, in fact, he didn't do anything, just did according to his own plan, and at the same time satisfied Gruba, which is indeed worth celebrating.

Panic, this is going to talk about Moon's experience in the flames, in the illusion. Gruba's judgment confirmed that Moon himself had some connection with the Ancient Gate, the self in the illusion, the power in the illusion, this powerful and unknown thing, inevitably made him excited and a little frightened at the same time.

Moreover, the sword qi in that illusion realm and the sword qi in his dream felt so similar. This brings more curiosity and jealousy. Unknown things always make people love and hate.

"That's a good thing to say, I promise you. But I still have a lot to do until then. Moon put aside the clutter of thoughts.

"Well, you're bothering about the construction of the territory?" "What do people grow old into, but what do trees grow old? Anyway, no matter what it becomes, it's not easy to fool around."

"Indeed, with your help, although Warcraft is not a problem, there are still a lot of other problems. ”

"Hehehe, then you can worry about yourself. With that, Gruba shook his huge body and left.

Moon had to sigh in his heart, it was a good idea to make a way in the forest with Gruba, how did he get the trees to make way for him? Wouldn't the roots of the trees die if they moved? How would they recover after they were done? Fortunately, this is not a place where science is paramount.

Back in his study, Moon leaned back in his chair and looked at the sky, his head full of all sorts of nonsense.

There were a few knocks on the door, Luo Xia opened the door, and Heidi walked in. Before, Frois told Moon that he had changed his name, and Moon joked that he would only call him Frois, but it turned out that he was still not called Heidi.

"Your Highness, there is something to report to you. Seeing Heidi's dusty appearance, Moon couldn't have guessed that he had just returned to Jicheng City.

"Just call me by my name, Your Highness sounds awkward, and it's still alive. Moon beckoned and motioned for Heidi to sit at her desk.

"Your Highness Moon, this is the map that has just been completed with the help of Elder Gruba. Heidi said, spreading out the map in her arms and spreading it out on her desk.

"Thank you. ”

"I didn't make much effort, it's all the dwarves who are exploring the terrain, and the progress was not fast, but the arrival of Elder Gruba two days ago quickly solved this problem. ”

"Oh, Gruba?" At this time, there was no one in the study, Tihua was still in the R&D room, and Bone Dance was in the school field to personally check the quality of the recruits, so only Luo Xia was always with Moon.

"Yes. Through the help and feedback of plants, Elder Gruba directly helped us complete the map, as well as the condition of the terrain in various places, the distribution of minerals, and so on. ”

"What the hell am I doing?" To be honest, Moon was a little decadent at this time, and his gang had wasted a lot of manpower and material resources, but they had only found out less than 1/3 of the area. As a result, people directly just... It's hard to do it yourself, and it's easy for others to do it, how to say it, yes, it's like suffering a dimensionality reduction blow.

"Moon, ahem, Your Highness. Heidi still doesn't seem to be used to calling Moon by his name directly, "This kind of thing, it doesn't matter, the result is good." ”

"Well, you're right. Moon smiled, it stands to reason that he, as an unawakened being, should have gotten used to this kind of thing, didn't he?

"Actually, I would suggest that Elder Gruba be caught. ”

"Huh, catch?" Moon was stunned for a moment, and grabbed it, "Mom, who can beat it?"

"I don't mean to be imprisoned, I mean to grasp the common interests of you and him, to capture his heart, just like me. ”

"Oh?" Moon knew, and Heidi had to say it for a reason.

"I've been in contact with Elder Gruba since you sent someone to arrange for him to come over these days. There are a few things that can be confirmed at the moment. ”

"Tell me. ”

"He is not hostile to Black Yao, to the Dark Elves, and it can even be said that some... Miss?"

"Yes, when we were on the ground before, we dark elves and ancient trees actually had a close relationship, and we were natural allies. At that time, it was said that there were the Ancient Tree of Life, the Ancient Tree of War, the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, and so on, but when I heard Gruba's meaning, it seemed that he was called both the Ancient Tree of War and the Ancient Tree of Knowledge. ”

"Well, although I don't know why he is not in the Black Yao Empire now, but ran to this forest, but judging from the foothold he has chosen, as well as his attitude towards you and the people in this city, he has a good impression. Maybe you don't think it's reliable for me to say that, and I really don't have any evidence. ”

"No, I believe you," continued. Moon looked down at the map, not seeing Heidi's expression. I believe that your three words are still quite important statements for Heidi.

"And then there is Elder Gruba, the interest he has shown in you and in our city, I personally think that with his age and experience, emotions and the like should be very hidden, but his excitement and novelty are indeed obvious. ”

"You mean, figuring out what interests him, it's better to build a chain of common interests, trying to bind each other together?"

"Yes, as you have proposed before, it is a matter of ways and means to tie the interests of the unawakened to you and to the Collar of Quezas. Heidi affirmed Moon's suspicion and gave an explanation.

"Why is this so, because when Turing and I were chatting with Elder Gruba, we learned from the side that he can use the power of plants to help us complete the construction of the territory faster and better. ”

"Huh, what do you say?"

"After Turing and I got the map, we studied it and decided that it was the best place to build a city. First, there is enough strategic depth to deal with possible invasions, and second, with this city as the center, gradually spreading and developing into the outer circle, we can control the entire Deep Blue Forest. ”

"One of the difficulties in building a city here is the inconvenience of transporting materials, and the other is that the terrain itself is not flat, but Elder Gruba can help us with it. Heidi finally got to the point, probably because of this, which led him to the idea of letting Moon catch Gruba.

"Elder Gruba is skilled in botanical and earth-based magic. And because it is a factor of the ancient tree of war, he can command most of the cobalt blue shirts in this forest, and I believe His Highness has already felt it. ”

Listening to Heidi say this, and thinking about the way Gruba moved, Moon found that he really felt it.

"After discussing with Turing, I also asked the people sent by the Duke to understand, I think we still have a lot of room for development in the city, and even in the Quezas territory. ”

Moon looked at where Heidi's finger was pressed, which was basically the center of the Deep Blue Forest, a little darker. Judging from the colors on the map, there is almost no high terrain around, so you don't have to worry about someone taking advantage of the terrain to attack the city, and the only option is to attack head-on.

"But it's all based on the fact that we can get a foothold here, build a city, that is... Master, you have to deal with Elder Gruba and let him deal with the topography of this area, as well as the access to the transportation of materials. ”

Compared to what Moon was thinking, the change in Heidi's name was less noteworthy. What has been bothering me before is how to control the territory, but now the problem has become how to lay out and develop after control... It's true that every stage has its own troubles.

If the resources are sufficient, Moon intends to refer to the layout of Darnassus, although it is not exaggerated to the scale of construction, but the system currently in operation must have its own independent buildings and facilities. It is also necessary to take into account the possible expansion trend in the future.

"Master, Turing has been very hard these days, their dwarves are good at structural deployment, he and I have probably studied the layout of the future city, but we haven't made up our minds yet. I don't know what the master's opinion is?" The two found out that calling His Highness, Moon felt angry, and called Moon, Heidi felt impolite. So Heidi unconsciously took out the title of master again.

"Personally, I think that the layout and structure of a city should start from its positioning and function. Moon, who no longer bothered with the title, looked at the map and said slowly.

"First of all, this city is our foothold, in a sense, it is our home, and it must be safe. ”

"Secondly, the Empire has given me this forest so that I can play a role in the possible conflict with the Naga in the future, that is, I must be self-reliant, comprehensive, and sustainable. ”

"Again, considering that it doesn't seem uncommon for us to have alien races here, we have to be inclusive. ”

"It's so simple, it's complicated. Moon thought about what he had said, and it really felt a little empty and big. But I didn't expect Heidi to answer.

"What the host said is that the new city must be safe and secure as the first consideration. There is a balance between the defense and the scale, and I've got Turing doing it. At the same time, we must control the surrounding area, where I asked Elder Gruba about the soil, and it seems to be quite good, and we don't have to worry about the production of bluegrass and moon ice. As for inclusiveness, I've also thought about it, and I personally don't think I need to care too much about it, because this is Black Yao, the master's Quesas, and your successor city. You need to make it clear to the aliens, including me, that they can participate because your ideas and attitudes are different from the traditional dark elves, and in the end you have the final say. In terms of style, I think it's good to follow Heiyao's style. ”

"What do I think, you thought about what I was thinking about before?"

"Hmm? No, absolutely not. ”

"Lie to Lao Tzu, you let Turing do it again, and asked Gruba again, when did you ask?"

"Oh, hahaha, mistake, mistake. I mean, I'm going to go and have Turing do it, I'm going to ask Elder Gruba. Heidi turned her back and quietly held down her big wagging tail.

"Tsk, it looks like I'm going to have to sell myself more thoroughly. "Moon is just joking, he can't quite understand the ancient leaders who are afraid of their subordinates to figure out their hearts, why bother.

"Master, I had someone go to the Storm Collar and ask the Duke for some support, especially in terms of design. ”

“...... Very good, you are very good, what I think of, what I can't think of, you think of everything, how can I reward you?"

"Where the master is, that's what I'm supposed to do. If the reward is given, the master will kill Simba in the future, and I will be satisfied. ”

Moon, who was as good as a stream, decided to find out what he was interested in first through Gruba's request, but the matter should be delayed. Because he found out, Gruba was also quite interested in his moon guard, and even in bluegrass and moon ice. Didn't these things exist in the Deep Blue Forest, and why didn't he pay attention to them before?

Orchid grass may still be able to pass, but common things are not interested in explaining because they don't know what they do. But why does he watch recruit training for a day? Sometimes he even participates in it, naturally using a certain part of his body to drill out of the ground to fight against recruits.

Moon observed for a long time, and felt that this was an old child who woke up after a long sleep, and was more interested in everything, but especially more interested in Moon himself.

Since the other party didn't ask Moon when he would go to the Ancient Gate of the Luselsa Territory, he was also willing to deal with the affairs of the territory first.

The construction of the city has not yet begun, after all, there is still a lot to prepare before then.

A large number of guards were sent deep into the forest to confirm that the terrain matched the map. Gruba also agreed to Moon's request to help clear a path for the transportation of materials and the stationing of workers.

At the same time, Moon ran a few more times to the Storm Collar, using the newly discovered mineral resources as collateral to borrow a lot of labor and designers from his father.

This kind of behavior, which can only be exchanged for support in the most primitive way of resource exchange, makes Moon and Turing feel distressed, but there is no other way at present. The two of them can only comfort each other, and when they slowly develop in the future, they will not be so miserable. At worst, you have to research something unique and monetizable, and it feels like a loss just by selling resources.

Heidi was busy jumping up and down every day, and Moon felt that his tail seemed to be bald, was it sleep deprivation?

At this time, Moon had to thank Caesar, although the orc refugees he brought were not strong, but they were willing to endure hardships and work, which could be regarded as solving a small part of the problem for Moon.

It is precisely because of this that Moon asked Heidi to formulate a reasonable, interracial management norm in the future. You can refer to the merit system of the guards, and get the corresponding treatment after reaching a certain level, and then consider that the entire area of the dark blue forest is not small, and it is almost as big as the storm collar, but due to the existence of the cobalt blue shirt, the actual cultivable area is not as large as the control area, but it is not small. So Moon took all the land for himself, and let Heidi formulate a reasonable land policy later.

At the same time, Moon also realized that the land of Quezas was limited, and at present, there was only the scope of the Deep Blue Forest, which was destined to be limited to the unawakened who could absorb and support, but it was still in its infancy, and this contradiction was almost impossible to appear. It only strengthened Moon's determination to control the population.
