Chapter 62: Prosperous Glory, Strange Mage Tower
After several comparative tests, William roughly calculated the effect of evergreen vine leaves.
The first is the cultivation of fighting spirit, whether it is a knight-level, a big knight, or a knight apprentice who has not been able to break through, the evergreen vine leaves have a good helping effect.
An ordinary knight can take a leaf, which can be worth three or four days of cultivation, and the effect of the great knight is halved.
As for the knight's apprentice,
Evergreen vine leaves can't help knight apprentices increase their fighting energy, because knight apprentices don't have fighting qi in the first place, so they can only increase their physical strength, and taking it like this for a long time may be able to adjust their bodies to the most perfect state.
It must be known that William has practiced basic swordsmanship for many years in order to adjust his physical condition to the best.
However, if one side of the body or spirit becomes a shortcoming, the breakthrough process may encounter risks.
Except for the help of Dou Qi cultivation.
Evergreen vine leaves can also act on magical cultivation, that is, to help the mage crowd.
The buff to mages is the same as that of knights.
In other words, the Evergreen Vine Leaf can be said to be an all-round resource, and it can be used by both knights and mages.
"Just now, I was thinking about whether the Barron Territory has any unique resources, isn't it available now, and it is also a resource for gain cultivation, which is even rarer than gold and silver."
Pisius was immediately approached and asked to build the Barron's business system around the evergreen vine leaves.
William didn't need to look for any other resources, just this one.
As long as there are evergreen vine leaves, it can play a star effect, and the merchants who chase it will come to the Barron Territory in an endless stream, and when they come, they will naturally not come empty-handed, but bring special products from other places, and by the way, develop long-distance trade and make a little profit from the spread.
And that's what Barron desperately needs.
Only when there are more businessmen and more products can Barron Collar make money, support local industries, and increase residents' incomes.
Unknowingly, William applied many of the ways of thinking of later generations.
……
In the next few days, Justt rode the dragon eagle to explore around, and sure enough, he found several alien tribes, some of them were numerous, and some were more like small troops, roaming and plundering in the Barron's territory.
Without provoking any large troops, Justter targeted small units, the kind with no more than 500 in number.
It just so happens that the number of dreadnought pioneers is also 500, which is enough to play a role in training.
The process of training was very difficult.
Although Justter will clean up the masters of the alien race, the overall quality of the helpless and soldier is not excellent, although they are considered elite among the human race, their enemies are alien after all.
The alien race has the unique advantage of having a strong physique, strength beyond ordinary people, and the ability to fight wildly through years of fighting.
In the mountains and forests, Just rode a horse and led the dreadnought pioneers forward.
The original full number of 500 people is now only more than 470.
Although the number of soldiers has decreased, their momentum has increased even more.
If the former dreadnought vanguard soldiers were only elite soldiers, now they are battlefield veterans, each with the breath of blood and fire on their bodies, their expressions are tough, and their eyes are like swords.
Glancing back, Justter nodded in dissatisfaction.
This is the warrior who can charge into battle and kill the enemy!
The dragon eagle hovered overhead, descending, whispering to Just.
Just's face immediately froze, and he ordered his soldiers to take their weapons and prepare to kill the enemy.
Today he found a small alien army of nearly 700 men, and it didn't seem to be the one who had followed Toifil. These aliens are all jackals, and their combat power is not as good as the elite werewolves in the alien race, nor is it as good as elephant humans.
Nevertheless, it is also a test for the dreadnought pioneers at this stage.
"Ready!"
"Charge!"
"Kill!" The soldiers urged their horses, and when they approached the alien race, they shouted violently, and the shouts of hundreds of people coalesced together like the roar of giants, and immediately shocked the ranks of the gnolls.
Just glanced at it and didn't find that the other party had a big knight-level master, so he didn't rush into battle again to implement the decapitation tactic.
All to the dreadnought vanguard warriors.
Half an hour later, the Dreadnought Vanguard integrated the military formation, and everyone's faces were filled with excitement.
They defeated the aliens.
The gnolls only lasted for ten minutes before they were crushed, and there was almost no head-on battle for the next ten minutes.
It wasn't until a few pools of blood had accumulated in the meadow that the small army of gnolls fled the battlefield.
700 gnolls, no more than a third escaped.
Collect supplies, collect the corpses of dead comrades, and bury the corpses of aliens......
These things were soon over, and the Dreadnought had to go through at least one a day, sometimes two or three times a day, and the so-called practice made perfect in this way.
As is customary, Justter analyzed the pros and cons of the battle, and then led his army back to the city of Plenty.
Today is the last day of the week set by William.
There are no more alien troops in the entire Barron's territory.
Even the large army led by Toifil Wolf, who was still patrolling the Barron's territory, seemed to be planning to turn back and attack the city of Plenty again, or set its sights on the left and right acropolis.
After discovering that Justt was in pursuit, Toifler Wolf finally gave up on his adventurous plan and led his group back to the Howling Wolf Prairie.
Toifler rode a giant wolf and slowly climbed up a small hill.
Turning around, there was the border of Sydes, the Barron Territory that had left him in vain.
Originally, his mission was to capture the Barron Territory, and then use the Barron Territory as a bridgehead to lead the large army of the Wolf Howl Grassland to launch a cannibalization invasion against Saidus.
No one thought of it.
The first step failed.
"I won't gain anything at all, and I will definitely be punished by the chief when I go back."
Toifler Wolf sighed silently.
How confident I was when I took on the task, and how frustrated I am now.
In particular, the great knight of the sheep tribe, Rango Hammond, is also dead, and it can be expected that the sheep people will be restless.
It's a headache to think about.
"My lord, this time is just a small failure, the responsibility is not yours, after all, no one thought that the other party would have a master like Justt Thorn."
Wagner, who is also a werewolf knight, stepped forward and seemed to understand Toifeller's sadness.
"If it weren't for that Ivey's misinformation, maybe we wouldn't have failed."
"As far as I can see, it's better to kill him, so that it can calm the emotions of the warriors a little, anyway, Kellyford is dead, and it's useless to keep him."
Toifler pondered for a moment, then shook his head firmly.
"His intelligence is not wrong, the other party does have three great knights, as for the strength of Justt Thorn... Don't talk about him, I didn't even find my whistle.
A failure is a failure, and there is no need to make excuses for me. ”
……
Wagner was a little anxious, and opened his mouth to try to persuade again.
Although he and Toifele are not of the same clan, they are both werewolves, and the two have had a friendship before.
If Toifil hadn't found a man to blame, he wouldn't have been able to please him, according to the custom of the chiefs of the Wolf tribe.
"It's not an excuse, it's a strategy."
"Left and right are just an ordinary human, and it's his honor to use it to appease the warriors."
Wagner stepped closer and whispered even more.
"Needless to say, I've already decided." Toifler stopped Wagner and rode the wolf away from the mountain.
Under the sunlight, his body was like a broad mountain peak, and like the bare limestone at the top of the mountain, inexplicably a little barren.
Ivy Ivertien in the crowd had no idea that she was almost dead.
His heart was heavy at this time.
No matter how he expected it in the early stage, he never imagined that William would have such strength.
Three great knights, three of them!
But if Kelly Fu and them have one more big knight, I am afraid that they will not be defeated by William at the speed of thunder, even if they escape, they can escape.
Isn't this the confidence of being a prince? Can an unfavored prince get this kind of talent?
"Barron's... Barron's Collar... There's no going back. ”
Ivy Ivertien knows.
After the failure of this alien invasion, his desire to reclaim the Barron Territory was completely shattered.
is like a petal cut off by the wind, even if you connect him together, you will never be able to reproduce the beauty of the petals.
"Even if my father is born again, he won't be able to go back to Barron."
"Will I have to live in the Wolf Howl Prairie in the future? I'm not a werewolf after all. ”
……
Just, who returned to Plenty City, reported the situation to William first, and received his praise.
William was not interested in the materials obtained from killing aliens, but there were some special things that only existed on the wolf howl grassland, such as giant wolf teeth and fur, which could be used as resources for future trading.
William then personally inspected the Knights of the Dreadnought Vanguard.
At this time, there were 13 knightly soldiers in the Order, who served as the backbone of the Order.
Each time a unit charges, the knight will be the first to attack, so that he can cut through the enemy's camp as quickly as possible.
During the inspection, William made a brief speech, and then came the reward.
The week's harvest was enough for the soldiers to reap as much as the previous years combined.
As a result, the subjects of the Barron were once again grateful for the favor of Lord William.
Dare to fight, be able to fight, and win if you fight......
The iron-blooded temperament gradually replaced the cowardly atmosphere that Barron had before, and swept away the decline. William believed that as long as he continued to develop and consolidate for a year, General Barron would no longer be afraid of foreign races, and even sharpened his sword and regarded foreign races as a war exploit.
After completing his tour, William returned to Fort Black Rock.
He's busy.
On the one hand, he has to cultivate diligently every day, no matter how busy the things in the territory are, he can't keep cultivating.
He will not forget that strength is his most solid guarantee.
As long as he has the strength, even if he loses the prince's aura in the future, he will not be knocked to the dust.
The second aspect is territorial things.
I haven't managed a territory before, so I don't know much about it. After nearly two months of in-depth contact, I learned that it is really not easy to govern a territory.
It is no wonder that the Imperial Government Department will specialize in cultivating administrative talents, even if they are not strong, they can still become lords or henchmen of the king.
Fortunately, everything is on track.
In just over two months, he suppressed the poisonous scorpion bandits outside, leveled Kelly Fu inside, repelled the aliens, and treated the leaders well......
According to Pisius, the Barron was already showing signs of prosperity.
He didn't even take the initiative to spread the message, and many people in the Three Cities spontaneously sang for the lord.
……
"Just, you're finally back."
As soon as he got home, before he could enter the house, he was stopped by Aleister Crowley.
"Are you going out?" Just smiled and asked casually.
The young mage's apprentice had a straightforward personality that suited Just's appetite.
"That's right, after studying magic for a day, plus meditating for a long time, my head feels buzzing, so I thought about going out for a walk." Aleister invited, "I'm going to take a look at the abandoned Mage Tower, do you want to come along?" ”
"Forget it, I just came back from the expedition, and I didn't change my clothes."
"It's okay, I'll wait for you."
With that, Aleister followed Justt into his house and poured himself a cup of tea.
Seeing this, the corners of Jaster's mouth raised a curvature, "Then you wait for me for a while." ”
Half an hour later, Justt changed into light clothes and walked out into the street with Aless.
Walk through densely populated residential areas to an aristocratic quarter.
Most of the buildings here are quite luxurious, and the high-walled compound obviously has a lot of defense.
On the side, there is a black-gray tower tens of meters high.
This tower is taller than the Hall of Justice, in the style of a classic Western tower, surrounded by four stone pillars, which support a square hall, and in the center of the square hall, a towering real tower.
The majestic Mage Tower, but unfortunately it is still covered with cobwebs.
"It's shabby like this, how long has it been since the Barron Territory had been officially stationed with wizards."
Looking at the tower, Aleister sighed.
Every wizard's lifelong dream is to have a mage tower that can not only be used as a base camp for the study of magic, but also to promote mage cultivation.
Every time Aleister dreamed, he dreamed that he could build his own mage tower with his own hands.
Surveying around the perimeter, Aleister tells Justt about the Mage Tower.
"Building a mage tower is a very old skill, and after generations of mages have been researched and reformed, there is finally a very mature mage tower system today.
The owner of the Mage Tower can choose how to build it, but seventy percent of the Mage Towers will use two of the same materials.
Black porphyry, solid spirit. ”
"Because of their own characteristics, these two stones are very popular with mages. If I build a mage tower in the future, I want to use these two stones, after all, black porphyry is cheaper......"
As he spoke, Arestor smiled shyly.
The reason why black porphyry is widely used on mage towers is, of course, because the cost is cheaper.
Just nodded from time to time as if listening to a story.
Follow into the Mage Tower, and gently touch the walls of the tower, which is a mixture of two rocks, and it looks very stable and solid.
Black Porphyry He knew that the Dragon Eagle's lair was built on a black porphyry pillar peak.
But what kind of stone is Guling rock, I have never heard of it.
The moment his fingers touched the wall, Just's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he took a few steps back.
"This breath ......"
