Of the 5,000 slaves, there were only about 300 female slaves, most of whom were relatively young barbarian women, but none of the slaves dared to touch them, because they were also one of the treasures of their masters.

These hundreds of female slaves also participated in Andal's training and the old Ford's training, and now most of the 5,000 slaves can know some basic characters and can write one or two hundred characters, which is a lot of progress.

The day of the Blood Slave Assessment has arrived.

Although the slaves are extremely looking forward to being chosen by their masters, in their minds, it is also a supreme honor to be the blood slaves of their masters, but they also know that since the master refuses to turn them all into blood slaves, they will also have to carry out the blood slave assessment, which must be very strict.

In fact, Mengyang's blood slave assessment is very simple, and let Andal tell the slaves that as long as they hit a force target with the strongest force in the way they are most accustomed to in front of Mengyang, if the value displayed is more than "one thousand", then they can go to Mengyang's side, dip their fingers in the blood in the big bowl and wipe the dragon slave mark on their foreheads, and become a blood slave of Mengyang from then on.

The assessment lasted three hours.

Through recent training and training, the slaves are no longer the slaves who did not understand anything in the past. They know that when they hit the force measurement target, a value of more than 1,000 means that they have the strength of a professional, and it seems that this is the threshold set by the master.

Three hours later, a total of 328 people had successfully become blood slaves.

The dragon slave mark on their foreheads is no longer a silver-white crescent, but has turned into a blood color, which is the sign of a blood slave.

More than 300 people met Mengyang's requirements, which made Mengyang very happy.

Among them, there were sixteen female slaves, which Meng Yang did not expect.

But soon, Meng Yang asked Andal to take the three hundred and twenty-eight people into the basement of the main fortress, and the magic casting room temporarily became the cultivation place for these blood slaves.

Clefo was the most powerful of them all, with a test value of fifteen hundred, and was rightfully the captain of the Blood Slave appointed by Monyan.

At this point, it's actually the second assessment.

That is, using the method provided by Old Ford, to check the qualifications and attributes of these more than 300 people, whether they are suitable for cultivating Dou Qi or magic.

Half an hour later, a miracle happened.

There are three hundred and twenty-eight people, and just half of them are suitable for cultivating Dou Qi and magic.

Meng Yang personally explained to everyone the details of how to cultivate, teaching them how to use potions for cultivation, and how to meditate after condensing the Dou Qi Bead or Mana Power Bead.

The secrets of vindictiveness and magic have already been copied by old Ford, and everyone has a copy.

In the magic casting room, a large number of Dou Qi Elixir and Magic Elixir were placed separately, and Meng Yang did not limit the amount of use they could use at all.

After doing this, Meng Yang began to meditate, and actually attracted the heaven and earth aura within a radius of fifteen miles, and directly submerged into the basement from the sky above the main fort, such a strength and concentration of heaven and earth aura was comparable to a powerful spirit gathering array.

Meng Yang estimated that the aura was enough to make these people condense the Dou Qi Bead and the Magic Power Bead, so he ordered everyone to start cultivating immediately, and then left.

A few days later, the caravan sent by Byron arrived at the Dragon Ruins again.

This time, Byron sent 1,500 slaves with training potential to Monyan, as well as more than 6,000 young slave girls.

Each male slave had his own spouse, and the number of slaves in Monyan exceeded 10,000 in one fell swoop.

What pleased Meng Yang the most were the twenty skilled blacksmiths.

Blacksmiths are foundry craftsmen who are best at refining all kinds of ores, extracting magical materials, and crafting all kinds of equipment, in addition to magical equipment.

Moreover, most of these twenty blacksmiths are third-level warriors, and their strength is not bad.

Meng Yang signed a well-paid agreement on the spot for these freelance blacksmiths: five gold coins per month, ten bottles of medium-grade Dou Qi Elixir, for a period of ten years.

The blacksmiths couldn't believe it.

Because in the past, they worked hard for more than half a year, and the money they earned was almost enough to buy a bottle of medium-grade potion. Now, even if Monyan does not symbolically give them gold coins, they are willing to serve Monyan.

After signing the agreement, the blacksmiths talked to Meng Yang about the casting with great interest, asked what deposits were in the vicinity of Longxu, and suggested that they should form a team to conduct a thorough survey of the surrounding area to see if there were suitable mineral deposits.

Of course, Meng Yang couldn't ask for it. These people were issued with the highest level of third-level armor weapons, and told them to pay attention to safety.

Then Monyan began to go back and forth between the basement and the wooden house, and forty-three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Longxu Fort was officially completed.

The imposing three fortresses are closely connected, like a three-headed giant, standing in the dragon ruins.

To Meng Yang's surprise, the 800 craftsmen volunteered to stay in Longxu after receiving their salaries, and were willing to reduce their salaries.

This day is the day of the housewarming of Longxu Fort.

Byron sent a congratulatory message, and what was even more surprising was the congratulatory message that Ebrath also sent, and I don't know where he got the news.

Among the main forts, there was a separate lord's fort covering an area of thirty acres, which was specially prepared for Monyan at that time.

The main fort and the east fort and the west fort are enough to accommodate 300,000 people, and the old Ford exclaimed that the Dragon Ruins Fort is comparable to the Dragon City.

The removal of the temporary camp, the relocation, the construction of the city, the selection of managers, all these affairs were left to the old Ford.

He took Ruoyi to the top of the fortress and began to survey the reserved part of the magic arrow tower on the spot, and it took Ruoyi twenty days to sketch and design the city head

The design and planning of the eight three-level arrow towers has been completed.

They started the construction from the first one in the East Fort, and hundreds of slaves were responsible for carrying all kinds of magic materials, and Meng Yang could only stand next to the sixth-level magician and fight, and he couldn't help at all.

It took nineteen years to build the first Magic Arrow Tower. The second one took only 12 days.

And all this is due to Ruoyi's deepening understanding of construction, and the construction efficiency has been continuously improved, and by the end of August, all eight majestic three-level arrow towers have been completed.

During this period, in front of the Longxu checkpoint, several groups of unkind professionals came, but they were turned away by Andal.

Because, Meng Yang has an order, and no one is allowed to put it in.

When Ruoyi officially began to build the arrow tower on the barren mountain to the west, which would surpass the fourth level of power, the twenty blacksmiths who had been working hard in the mountains for more than three months returned to the castle with great joy despite their fatigue.

"My lord, we have found a good quality iron ore in a mountain col one hundred and six miles to the northwest, and the exact reserves are unknown. We have made a mark, turned due north, and found a cuprite mine, that place is extremely hidden, a group of third-level demonic beasts live, after we have killed all of them, we finally found the location of the cuprite mine, and also left a mark. Now, please tell me if you want to organize people to mine?"

A blacksmith asked respectfully.

"You've done a great job. If these two mines can be mined, then I don't have to worry about raw materials for the standard equipment and weapons in the future of my dragon ruins. It's a great achievement for you to discover the mines, and each of you will be rewarded with 1,000 gold coins. It seems that the potion I gave you is still somewhat helpful, and you see, half of you have already broken through to the fourth level, which is really gratifying. Meng Yang laughed, and then called Old Ford to hand out the gold coin reward on the spot.

The blacksmiths were grateful, and several of them offered on the spot that they wanted to become permanent citizens of Longxu, and were willing to reduce their salaries, as long as Meng Yang allowed their families to relocate to Longxu.

Meng Yang allowed on the spot, and immediately contacted Byron, and asked the Sieg Chamber of Commerce to send an escort convoy to bring their families to the Dragon Ruins.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have also seen that there are several magic arrow towers built on top of my castle, but magic arrows are quite expensive, I would like to ask you, is it possible for any of you to build magic arrows?" Meng Yang then asked.

A blacksmith muttered, "My lord, in fact, we were all third-level professionals before, and we have not yet reached the standard of dabbling in learning magic forging. However, now that we have the support of the adult's massive potions, the twenty of us will soon be able to enter the fourth level, and at that time, as long as the adult finds us the magic casting secret, we will definitely live up to the expectations of the adults, and strive to work hard to cultivate in the direction of the magic caster!"

Meng Yang was overjoyed, "I didn't expect this to be the case. The magicians were all transformed from fourth-level blacksmiths, hahaha, God help me. You see, this is what you call the secret of magic forging, right? I think it's very comprehensive, there are magic forged chariots, magic arrows, magic weapons, magic armor, and so on. Look at what's missing?"

Several blacksmiths who had been promoted to the fourth level came over and cautiously looked at the secret for a long time, and one of them finally finished reading it, and suddenly raised his head and said to Meng Yang with a sad face: "My lord, your magic casting secret is very comprehensive, and we are fully confident that we will successfully reach the level of casting magic arrows within this year, but any magic caster needs a magician engraved with magic patterns, at least a magician above the fourth level, and the magician is in the volcanic plain, it is difficult to hire it." Of course, we look at the powerful magician next to the adult, it seems that he is already a sixth-level magician, but if we let that adult follow us to forge magic arrows, magic weapons, and armor, I am afraid that it will be ・・・・・・."

Meng Yang waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know." From now on, you can return to your respective abodes in peace and devote yourself to cultivating and learning the secrets of demoncasting. You don't have to worry about magicians, as long as you do it, I can find you any level of magician you need!"

The blacksmiths departed happily.

Old Ford walked up to Meng Yang and said in a low voice: "Meng Yang, I know why you are worried now, one is gold coins and the other is potions, right?"

Meng Yang nodded heavily.

"Actually, you don't have to worry. I went to the basement to see that there were two batches of blood slaves, a total of 2,133 people, all of whom have now become professionals. Among them, there are five third-level warriors and seven third-level magicians. Over time, the number of magicians will increase considerably, and the magicians needed by blacksmiths are not a problem at all. I see that these blood slaves are particularly smooth in their cultivation because of their pure psychology, and there will be fourth-level professionals soon. ”

Meng Yang glanced at Old Ford and said, "You know that I don't worry too much about gold coins, but the medicine is the biggest problem." I can't buy herbs and materials, so I can only collect them myself, and I'm not able to do anything, so I can't help it? Seeing that the consumers of this batch of potions are about to run out of potions, can I not be anxious?"

"It's rare for a master to be so acute. In my opinion, after Ruoyi girl leaves, the two thousand blood slaves will be enough to go and sweep the nearby barren mountains. Their main task, of course, is to collect herbs and collect magical materials. Why don't you order another batch of potions from Byron and deal with it until the end of the year?"

Meng Yang had no choice but to contact Byron, who was deeply surprised that Meng Yang had consumed a large amount of potions so quickly, and immediately reluctantly agreed to Meng Yang's plea, and Meng Yang would pay fifty fourth-level magic crystals and one hundred third-level magic crystals as a supplement for the lack of gold coins after the potion was delivered.

Then, Old Ford suddenly said: "Meng Yang, do you think it's faster to lock those blood slaves in the basement and make rapid progress in their cultivation, or just let them go to the mountains now?"

Meng Yang said with a bitter face: "There are many dangerous places in the mountains, and I feel sorry for the loss of one of these blood slaves." ”

Old Ford said with a straight face: "Without tempering, their strength is not much stronger, only those who survive are the best and strongest." This is the law of survival. ”

Meng Yang thought about it for a while, and finally agreed, and let the two thousand one hundred and thirty-three blood slaves, fully equipped and carrying packages, go to the deep mountains to collect medicine and materials.

Meng Yang divided them into three groups, each designated the person in charge, and let them enter the mountains from three sides.

Several blacksmiths took turns training the more than 3,000 slaves selected by Monyan in mining. At the same time, they were taught how to use various mining tools.

Fifteen days later, Meng Yang went to talk to Ruoyi, who was building the arrow tower alone, and led the more than 3,000 people to the direction of the refined iron mine in the northwest.

On the way, all the third- and fourth-level demonic beasts encountered were quietly killed by Meng Yang with hidden and instantaneous magic.

They didn't even meet the blood slaves who collected medicine, and they successfully arrived at the fine iron mine.

Meng Yang's divine sense glanced at it, and couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, the reserves of this refined iron ore were beyond his imagination. Even if he excavated countless tunnels for thousands of people to mine day and night, he was afraid that he would not be able to mine a fraction of it in ten or eight years.

Monyan noticed that the blacksmiths were able to find the ore by pure luck.

This refined iron ore is covered with a layer of sand more than ten meters thick, and there is a faint dragon aura permeating it, Meng Yang estimates that this must be the burial place of the former dragon. And the dragon qi is enough to cover the ore aura under the soil layer.

With this mine, Monyan seems to see his own incomparably brilliant tomorrow!

And when the 3,000 slaves began to follow Monyang's command, gradually becoming proficient in shoveling through the soil and setting up suitable digging tunnels, Monyan stood on the top of one of the highest mountains and saw for the first time the Syr Darya River, which was not far away, dozens of meters wide.

On the other side of the Syr Darya River is a vast meadow, and Meng Yang knows that at the end of the meadow is the mysterious Longquan Forest.
