Chapter 192: Stirring Up the Storm
His Excellency Rez Ryan, Legendary Mage, Headmaster of the Porters' Guild of Blackwater, Lord of Ironforge Castle in the Stormwind Mountains, and Lord of New Bretton Rock City in the Dark Lands, came back to his senses to find that it was already evening when the night lights were on.

Recently, Lu Bin has figured out the general time segmentation, which is divided into ten parts: dawn, morning, noon, afternoon, evening, dusk (sunset), night, midnight, late night, and the end of the night.
In the higher latitudes of the north, night, midnight, late night, and the end of the night are divided into twelve equal hours, so evening means the period between 3 and 5 p.m., when the smoke of the cooking in Blackwater is curling, and the housewives of commoner families are preparing dinner.
Lu Bin's spirit was still high, but his body was exhausted, and he forced himself back to the Alfalfa Flower Tavern, and the two attendants who had enough sleep time had been waiting at the door for a long time, glanced at each other, and immediately stepped forward to reach out to support "Lord Rez".
"I'm not weak enough yet!" Lu Bin smiled and pushed away Nina Wild's and Aurelia's hands, and calmly walked into the tavern, greeted by the familiar cacophony.
When "Lord Rez" appeared in the hall, everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on him, and the noisy sound like a vegetable market was a lot quiet, after all, a big man who can spill three thousand gold coins in half a day can be respected no matter where he is, and it has nothing to do with strength.
Life in the wild with snow mixed with jerky is not easy, and Nina Wild is very thoughtful to order a barbecue steak for "Lord Rez", which is the best part of the belly, without getting in the way, and melts in the mouth.
Lu Bin vaguely remembered that he had instructed the Alfalfa Tavern to improve this kind of barbecue steak, and with warm boiling water, he solved a large plate of food, touched his slightly swollen lower abdomen with satisfaction, and went directly upstairs to his room.
Nina Wild, who has been following "Lord Rez" for the longest time, has figured out her daily routine, so she gently raises her chin to her other partner defiantly.
Windranger Aurelia ignored the provocation of the kitten-like aristocratic girl, she remembered her identity, if she hadn't rested enough now to protect the well-fed and well-fed "Lord Rez", she would have gone out to contact the nearby clansmen.
Later, Lu Bin returned to his room, closed the door with his backhand, and before he had time to summon the tripping tribulus terrestris, he fell headlong on the bed near the fireplace, and soon fell asleep.
In order to give the clone the best rest, Lu Bin's spiritual will was extracted, leaving only a small part, and the rest was returned to the body of the "Elven Waste Capital Elundelle".
Three alloy recipes from the dwarven elder Hardin Copperbeard are the basic materials for crafting various weapons, which are of great value to the territory, but they have no meaning for his own strength, at most he just learns a little new knowledge.
The most important and valuable thing is the inheritance of the "Rune Blacksmith", a pendant of twists and turns of lightning, tied by a thin chain, when Lu Bin hung it around his neck, but it had no effect at all.
After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly remembered the story of the moon well water, and he immediately let go of the restriction and let the rules of the plane assimilate this pendant into an equipment card.
Dwarven Inheritance, a key item for the rune blacksmith exclusive class of advanced races, requires level 4 craft, level 5 knowledge (runes), 15 strength, 12 constitution......
"It's a pity, I can't reach the basic condition of strength, and I guess I can't wear this pendant, but I can't exert my power. ”
Lu Bin sighed, his gaze turned to the "Wishing Tree" near the Elven Necropolis, the growth of the Buried Bone Land in the recent period has driven it to mature, and the degree of lush branches and foliage is much thicker than when it was just extracted.
Through specific "spells" and "gestures", Lu Bin spent some of the plane's origin to ask the Wishing Tree for the growth of its power.
The tall trunk supports the dense canopy, and in the middle of winter, the leaves fade to the golden yellow of autumn, and the edges are dehydrated to reveal a lifeless yellow-brown, curled with the smoothness of the past, like the folds on the old man's face, blown by a light breeze, the dry leaves quietly fall off, and countless dead leaves fall down like butterflies.
Lu Bin stood under the tree, left the tree with his hands, and stretched out to both sides, welcoming the light rain of fallen leaves. Whenever the withered yellow leaves touched Lu Bin's body, they would disappear without a trace in an instant, as if they were integrated into his body.
At the same time, Lu Bin was surprised to find that the muscles under the clothes began to bulge as if they were inflated, and they actually held up the loose clothes, and a steady stream of strength emerged from all parts of the body, and a desire not to vomit or unpleasantness was about to erupt.
Lu Bin immediately opened the Book of Traveling Mages and checked the career card of the "Wandering Mage", which really increased his strength by five points, but unfortunately the rule of the Wishing Tree once a day could not be changed, even if he had enough dimensional origin to squander.
"In terms of craftsmanship, I was a lover of architectural models before the crossing, and my hands-on ability was stronger than that of ordinary people, so I guess I could deal with the past. As for the knowledge of runes, the few runes at hand have a lot of attack spells, and I don't know if they are enough, so I guess I have to find some spell books or scrolls to copy and transform, and accumulate in this regard. ”
After the strength increased greatly, Lu Bin had to readjust to his body, due to the relationship between the copy cards, in addition to the snake staff sigil involving the power of the realm, special permission transfer was required, and the change of the main body was obtained synchronously.
After pinching dozens of sunshine mushrooms, Lu Bin gradually learned to lift weights and began to skillfully control the force, especially the fingers that are essential in daily life, at least now he will not crush objects too hard.
Everything is progressing in a good direction, and every bit of progress makes Lu Bin grateful, when he returns to the lonely throne in front of the twin trees, and when he closes his eyes, his spiritual will has returned to the doppelganger through a special channel.
There is still a long time to pass the long night with sleep, Lu Bin vaguely noticed that someone had entered the room, but the tripping tribulus terrestris did not have any warning reaction, it was estimated that it was one of the two entourages, and he didn't pay attention to it.
Somewhat different from what Lu Bin imagined, the person who easily avoided the tripping thistle terrestris was not Orelia the Windranger, who had the agility of an elf who walked on the snow without a trace and an ethereal physique close to nature, but the aristocratic girl Nina Wilder, whose strength seemed ordinary, but was actually a high-level retinue who was very smart and studious.
In recent times, there has been almost no opportunity to sleep with "Lord Rez" to have in-depth communication and deepen affection, and there are too many eyes staring at the snowy wilderness and in the dark area full of dangers, all of which make Nina Wild indignant but helpless.
Now there is finally a chance for the two of them to be alone, but unfortunately it is impossible for the exhausted Lu Bin to wake up and fight with the noble girl for 300 rounds, so Nina Wild can only lie quietly beside "Lord Rez", with the help of the dark red fire that flickers from time to time in the fireplace, counting the mold spots on the pillars above her head.
The burning pine blocks exude a refreshing fragrance, and the oil and pine resin contained between the wood threads are burned by the flames until they crackle and explode, which is particularly harsh on such a quiet night.
Unfortunately, no matter how noisy the sleeping person was, Nina Wild soon became bored and dying, after all the night's sleep, and now her spirits were very high.
The night is like water flowing slowly, but the undercurrent of Heishui Town has never stopped, and after Lu Bin's stirring, the situation has changed very much.
On the part of the church, both the Righteous Hand and the Vigilant Eye are angry that they did not accept the invitation of the "legendary mage". The former, in particular, boasted that he had presided over justice for the "Mage Rez" at a critical moment, but unfortunately he lacked contacts in normal times, and was not as popular as the Ranger Patron and the Fountain Goddess at the bottom of the Pantheon.
A new pioneer realm, even if there are only a few hundred people, as long as it can be monopolized, this merit is enough to promote the priest who is presiding at this time, after all, it is for the gods to expand the number of believers.
It's a pity that the young rangers of Flameheart are very tough, lukewarmly pushing the kindness of the righteous hand outward, and making up their minds to share the faith of the new pioneer realm with the church of the goddess of springs.
As for other aspects, the Chamber of Commerce that was swept all the way by Lu Bin made a lot of money, but their success was also envied and envied by many peers, worried that they would lower each other's prices in order to compete, and they were planning to form a business association, which is an organization that only has a large number of big cities in the north.
As for the hired laborers and the farmers who had no land to cultivate and could only work as tenants for others, they all decided to take advantage of this opportunity to fight for a while when they heard about the new frontier from various gossip.
In order to change their own destiny, but also to change the fate of their families and future generations, despite the dangers in the pioneering process, there will be no success without sacrifice and bloodshed, and there are countless such facts in front of their eyes, but most of them do not flinch.
After all, the huge northern human society, they are always at the bottom of the grassroots, but also the largest number of groups, fortunately, the opportunity to change their fate is never lacking, and the channels for rising are also roughly retained, especially the construction of this pioneer territory, but it can make the declining noble families and pioneer knights return to their original tracks.
Hired hands and farmers can get out of the situation of being empty-handed, and at least win themselves a share of the heirloom land, have a lot of children, and see who can survive in the end.
As for the "Mage Rez", who stirred up the situation that had just settled down and turned the small clear pond into muddy water, he lay on his bed unconsciously, snoring tiredly, the corners of his mouth curled from time to time, as if he was dreaming a good dream.
