Walking down the river for one or two kilometers, turning a small col, you will see a city wall built on a gentle hillside, purely made of thick tree trunks, with a height of more than 20 meters, this is Lin Liucheng. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

If it weren't for the people who happened to encounter the backfire, according to the original direction of Lin Lei, he would have gone to the upper reaches of the river, and he would have missed this newly built city.

I heard that Lin Lei came to the Western Regions for the first time, and the hearty Lin Lie, that is, the leading strong soldier, was enthusiastically introducing all kinds of interesting things to Lin Lei in the Western Regions along the way.

Unlike the rock structures seen in the Southern Regions, all the cities in the Western Regions that are in the Runic Forest, including the buildings in the cities, regardless of their size, are almost all built with local materials and all wooden structures.

The trees in the Runic Forest are not only stronger than ordinary rocks, but also very vigorous, as the trunks of the city walls and building pillars, as long as they are buried in the surface for a few feet, and find a life or wood magician to release a few magics, it can easily take root and sprout again, and after a period of time, it will be unbreakable.

Finally, mash one of the leaves that are very common in the Talisman Forest and mix it with a little water to smear it, which is a very good fireproof layer.

The process of building a city in the Western Regions Runic Forest is very simple.

As long as you find a vein with sufficient value, thoroughly clean up the nearby demon dwarf settlements, establish a simple militarized base, and hold it for a year, you can declare the empire, and then recruit mercenaries, start building a city, and according to the level of the city, the land within a certain range around it is classified as a city territory.

In addition to assisting in defense, mercenaries are also very qualified architects.

For mercenaries whose bodies are generally solidified in all kinds of first- and second-level auxiliary magic, cutting trees to build a city is an easy thing, selling strength, although the money is less than selling life, but this is a long-term and stable job, and it is the best job for ordinary mercenaries who are not very strong.

Although the process is simple, countless people in the Western Regions completely disappear into the Rune Forest every year, and most of them happen in this simple process.

If you want to discover a new ore vein, you need to organize a strong combat team and go deep into the forest that humans have not set foot in, but many times, the ore vein is not discovered, and the prospecting team is eaten by demon dwarves or demon beasts, and there are no bones left.

The first thing Xin Yun's team must face when he finds the vein is the hunt of the demon dwarves.

Hundreds of years have passed, the demon dwarves have long known the temptation of magic crystals to human beings, wherever there is a magic crystal mine, there will almost always be a corresponding demon dwarf population nearby, because, for the demon dwarves, the delicious prey of "humans" is also very tempting, as long as the magic crystal mine is guarded, the prey will be caught sooner or later.

It can be said that the magic crystal and the "delicious" human race are the root cause of the inability of the demon dwarf clan and humans to be peaceful for hundreds of years, and the reason why the sky elves can stay out of the matter is probably because there is nothing that is really valued by humans.

The establishment of each new city is a local war between humans and demon dwarves, with tens of thousands of dead and wounded, without exception for hundreds of years.

"Look, that's the 'Fire Demon Crossbow' that belongs to our backfire......" Walking up the city wall, Lin Lie pointed to a metal pipe fixed on a rotatable base, three or four meters long, as thick as a bucket, and introduced: "This thing is amazing, within a kilometer, the 'big mouse' can be cool."

In the entire Lin Six Cities, even ours is currently counted, there are only six, which is something that our head spent millions of gold coins and relied on a lot of connections to get it. With its existence, not only our backfire people have a lot of status in the city, but when the demon dwarves attack the city, our people only need to defend this 'fire demon crossbow', and there is no need to go down to fight, reducing a lot of casualties. ”

"Do demon dwarves often attack cities?" Lin Lei asked Lin Lie curiously.

"Will ......" Lin Lie nodded and said: "Demon dwarves are the best at digging holes, and they may dig a passage to the dungeon nearby at any time, but it is safe near the city, we will bury magic weapons that specifically detect underground movements, and once we find traces of excavation, we will destroy them in advance."

When we build a city, we must also choose a place where there are rock structures underneath, otherwise, the demon dwarves will dig slowly under the city, and there will always be a time when they will dig up the whole city, but this kind of place is easy to see, even if there is no ancient giant tree nearby, the ground will be a rock structure. ”

Lin Lie said eloquently, well-informed and very talkative, in addition to satisfying Lin Lei's curiosity, many related extension questions, without Lin Lei opening his mouth, he explained it himself.

As he was talking, a few people standing next to the "Fire Demon Crossbow" saw Lin Lei and the others coming, and under the leadership of an extremely tall young man, they quickly greeted them - along the way, Lin Lie had already sent someone to report the entire incident in advance, and these people were specially waiting here.

"The two of you are the 'Dark Fire' and 'Dark Moon' magicians that Lin Lie said, right? I'm Lin Storm, the leader of the Backfire, welcome, welcome, welcome......"

The tall young man came to Lin Lei with a smile on his face, and hugged Lin Lei with his open hands while greeting him.

"Dark Fire" is the nickname Lin Lei gave himself, and Dani also casually called herself "Dark Moon".

However, Dani did not reveal her true level strength, only said that she was a fifth-level water magician, and she also found an opportunity to change the great magician robe, otherwise, when she met someone with vision, she would definitely be suspicious of why a fifth-level guy was wearing a precious great magician robe.

Dani can't tell the truth, Tinas is a dual major in time and soul, but Dani is majoring in wood, of course, the eighth level of the wood system is not all her strength, otherwise, she is not qualified to assassinate Yingdila.

Lin Lie is tall and majestic, his figure is as strong as Lin Lie, and he is slightly two inches taller, the two brothers are both Chinese faces, their skin is slightly dark, Lin Lie's personality is hearty, and his joy and anger are on his face, Lin Storm has a beard on his chin, which is more mature and stable.

Lin Storm looked a little excited.

Although the fourth-level fire magician who was finally invited for 200,000 gold coins was hung up without doing anything, but being able to exchange for a much-needed fifth-level fire magician also comes with a fifth-level water magician who is so beautiful that people can't sleep.

After introducing each other, Lin Storm planned to take Lin Lei and the two of them to find a place to enjoy the wind and wash the dust, but Lin Lei said that he wanted to be familiar with the operation of the "Fire Demon Crossbow" as soon as possible, so as not to be caught off guard when the demon dwarves attacked the city.

Seeing Lin Lei so serious, not only did Lin Storm nod secretly, but even the other mercenaries who had some mustard in their hearts because of Sini being killed felt a lot more comfortable.

The principle of the "Fire Demon Crossbow" is not complicated, it is similar to the "Fallen Angel" that Lin Lei has seen in Xifu City, but it is smaller in size and simpler in structure, firing a special metal heavy arrow as thick as a child's arm and two meters long, relying on the powerful explosive power of fire magic, within a kilometer, it is enough to seriously injure a troll dwarf.

This thing, in fact, can be operated by not a fire magician, but without the assistance of fire-based magic power, if the fire attribute magic crystal is driven purely by spiritual power, the cost of spiritual power and magic crystal will be doubled, and at least the spiritual power of the fifth level will be enough to support it.

That's a fifth-level magician, this is not the kind of fifth-level magician holy place in the Southern Regions Academy.

In a place like the Western Regions, where there are no bones left at any time, the Western Regions Legion that always opens its doors to welcome fifth-level magicians is undoubtedly a safer and more promising choice.

Even if there are a few who are unwilling to be restrained, they will be snatched back by the really powerful mercenary group to be offered as ancestors, and a small group like Backfire is reluctant to be third-rate...... I won't even look at it.

Another more critical issue is that fire-based magic weapons such as the "Fire Demon Crossbow" can be operated by a fire mage, and the reaction time of shooting is shorter.

When shooting at moving targets, a shorter shooting reaction means higher accuracy, which is something that no other mage of any level can replace.

After listening to the introduction of the "Fire Demon Crossbow", Lin Lei already knew it.

The magic weapons made on the basis of magic in the Western Regions already have a little taste of the earth's modern science and technology in them, and if they continue to develop in the future, the magic machine civilization may indeed replace the role of the great magician.

When Johnnedy first met Lin Lei, he said, "After decades, there will be no need for a great magician to exist", this is indeed not impossible, and even further, even if it is a tenth-level great annihilation magic, it is not impossible to manufacture, just like the atomic bomb of the earth world, isn't it also a product of science and technology.

Perhaps, compared to the scarcity of great magicians and the difficulty of advancement, the magic weapon technology represented by the Western Regions is the general direction for mankind to go further in the future, and a breakthrough in the research of magic weapons will have one more tenth-level great magician than human beings, and it can play a greater role.

After probably getting acquainted with the "Fire Demon Crossbow", Lin Storm led everyone to the best wine and meat place in Lin Liucheng with a dozen or so people who were not on the task.

There was a bunch of people walking in front of him, Lin Lei didn't care, but Lin Storm and the others frowned.

A thunderous roar came from the opposite side of the "Lin Storm ......", and a bald man who looked furious led dozens of people to quickly surround him.

"It's the people of 'Agni'. Lin Lie whispered in Lin Lei's ear.

"Hello Lord Lin...... Lin Storm ignored the bald man, and first said hello to the middle-aged man beside him.

Hearing that the other party's surname was Lin, it must have been Lin Lie who had said that he was a member of the Lin family branch in the Eastern Regions, and Lin Lei couldn't help but pay attention.

His body is still the blood of the Lin family, and his "father" is also concerned about the family in the Eastern Regions, but this "Lin family" is not necessarily the other "Lin family", after all, the Eastern Regions are so big, and there are probably many people with the surname Lin, which may not necessarily have something to do with him.

The man known as Lord Lin just nodded proudly, his gaze swept lightly over the forest rioters, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stopped at Daini.
