Chapter 63: Martinez Brings In

Previous Chapter

The moment he touched the wall of the Mage Tower, Just's expression changed drastically, and from the wall, he felt a very familiar aura, a kind of aura that he had never felt since he came to this world.

"Aleister, you said the tower was made of those two stones?"

"Black porphyry and solid spirit."

"Solid Spirit Rock ......"

Just muttered the name secretly, checked with Aleister a few more times, and even pointed to the stone for him to identify, and he was 100% sure that it was the Solid Spirit Rock.

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with Granite? Aleister wondered.

Although the Solid Spirit Rock is relatively rare, it is not too unusual, but because it is often only used to build mage towers, it is rarely encountered in ordinary scenes.

Why did Just's expression look so surprised?

Could it be that I'm mistaken, this is not Guling Rock? No, it's impossible to be wrong.

Without answering the question, Justter found a loose foot of the wall and knocked on a small piece of solid spirit rock.

He didn't continue to wander the tower, and found a reason to leave in a hurry, leaving Aleister with a puzzled face.

Just hurried back and headed straight into Fort Black Rock.

At this time, William was practicing in the training ground, and the knight's swordsmanship became more and more pure, between attack and defense, either holding on to the river like an iron lock, or being as agile as an antelope hanging on its horns, which made Brayman smack his tongue.

He also broke through the knightly level, but when he trained against William, he couldn't last three minutes.

And this,

It was the result of William's mercy.

It was just an ancient hero brand of the "Web of Blood and Fire", which made William suddenly have a super high cultivation progress.

Now he rarely uses self-harm to activate the branding effect.

Every day, as long as you insist on cultivating to the limit of your body, the imprint will be naturally stimulated.

Although it is not as fast as self-harm, it is better to be stable.

"My lord, Knight Just's asking to see you."

Brayman reported, adding, "It looks like I'm in a hurry." ”

"Got it, let him go to the study, and I'll be there later."

"Yes!"

……

In the study, Justt sat upright, clenching a fist-sized stone tightly in his hand, observing the stone from time to time, with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes.

"Just, what's going on." William walked in.

"My lord, I found a stone ......"

William took the stone, and saw that it was very smooth on the outside, and the broken parts were quite sharp, like an inferior gem forged by hand.

The stone is white in color, slightly shiny, and not too heavy to hold in your hand.

"I've never seen this stone, what's so special about it?"

"I suspect it's a forbidden magic stone."

β€œβ€¦ Forbidden Magic Stone?! ”

Raising his eyebrows and glancing at the stone, William couldn't help but be surprised:

"You say it's the Forbidden Stone that Plegwick used to build the Avenue of Glory? Do we have this kind of stone in our world? Where did you find it? ”

Just recounted the antecedents.

He also felt that it was too much of a coincidence, but from the solid spirit rock, he did feel the same aura as the forbidden magic stone.

Although he is not a researcher of Plegway, it is impossible for him not to have come into contact with the special material of the Forbidden Demon Stone.

"Listen to Arest, this kind of stone is called Guling Rock, and it is often used to build the Mage Tower, which can not only help the Mage Tree cultivate, but also make the Mage Tower have various wonderful uses.

What is certain is that the Solid Spirit Rock does have the effect of channeling magical powers.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why the Mage Towers built with it have these abilities. ”

In Pleggwei, the Forbidden Stone is a stone that can suppress magical power.

It's not that the forbidden magic stone is only bad for mages, you must know that the reason why the forbidden magic stone can suppress magic power is that in another way, it can also be said that it has a high degree of compatibility with magic power.

The magic is irritable and surging, but the Forbidden Demon Stone calms the magic.

This is the original essence of the Forbidden Magic Stone.

"Solid Spirit Rock... Forbidden Magic Stone... It turns out that there is no shortage of forbidden magic stones in our world. ”

After a little thought, William quickly figured it out.

Since both worlds have the element of magic, it is natural that the Forbidden Demon Stone, which is highly compatible with magic, should be accompanied, but the two worlds have different applications for it.

"It seems that the construction of the Brilliant Avenue can be put on the agenda."

"My lord, do you want to study it again, I'm worried about whether there will be a slight difference between the two stones."

"Makes sense."

Holding the solid spirit rock, William grasped it and said in a deep voice:

"Give Alesta a task to study whether the Solid Spirit Rock has any properties, and if there are any special requirements for the Solid Spirit Rock to build the Mage Tower. Since he likes to do research, let's study this thing.

In addition, the construction of roads in the Barron's territory can be planned slowly.

Regardless of whether the Solid Spirit Rock is a forbidden magic stone or not, the road must be repaired, and even if it can't be built on the Brilliant Avenue, it can also improve the level of infrastructure in the Barron's territory. ”

"Just, I drew a few pictures of the Brilliant Avenue before, you can help me see if there is anything that can be modified."

As he spoke, William pulled out a few drawings from the shelf.

This is what the glorious avenue that he hand-painted from memory looks like.

Of course, there are no detailed data, just a depiction of the overall image of the avenue.

It is not difficult to still be on the Brilliant Avenue, plus William was the star spirit of Origi in his previous life, and he is here, and he has a little memory of various information about Origi's continent.

After looking at it, Just made a few suggestions, which William immediately revised and supplemented.

"Since the mages can use the Solid Spirit Rock to build the Mage Tower, it means that they have a deep study of the Solid Spirit Rock."

"To build a glorious avenue, we may need to use their wisdom."

With this in mind, William was even more eager for mage talents.

I'll ask Diana if she knows how to build a mage tower.

Unfortunately, the Heart of Origi only gives the names of three nodes, and there are no architectural drawings corresponding to each one.

If there were drawings, it would be much easier to build a brilliant avenue, so why bother with this forbidden magic stone technology.

……

When Aleister received William's assignment, he was immediately interested.

"My lord, I learned how to build a mage tower when I was in the royal capital, but I haven't officially operated it, and I'm afraid I still have to study the question of how the Guling Rock works on the mage tower.

In addition, about Guling Rock, I remember that Wang Du has many books that have studied it in detail.

If you are not in a hurry, I can write to a friend in Wang Du to help me investigate. ”

Although William was a little anxious, he was not in a hurry for a moment.

There is still a lot of preliminary work to be done to build the Brilliant Avenue.

Aleister was given enough time to study slowly, but he had to work out the results.

In the afternoon, William called Pisius and Gourand and assigned them two tasks.

First, the craftsmen of the Barron were gathered to prepare a plan to rebuild the road, which was the groundwork for the construction of the Brilliant Avenue.

Only the basic path combined with the forbidden magic stone technology can form a brilliant avenue.

Second, find a way to link the road rebuilding plan with the work of civilians.

It can be expected that in the future, William will continue to build a steady stream of various buildings, some of which only require a small amount of manpower, and some of which require a lot of labor, just like the Brilliant Avenue.

There are only three nodes in the Plegway.

It takes so much time.

Later, there were Woses, Perrofast, Nighod, and Shangshan Jiufang......

William felt like he was going to hold the banner of the infrastructure madman aloof in another world.

Once the infrastructure project is carried out, it can create countless jobs.

The peasants in the villages outside the three cities of Barron are no longer happy, and if they can be given a chance through the infrastructure project, it can greatly promote the development of the territory.

After returning to the study,

William sorted out his recent work.

The military, government affairs, commerce, brilliant avenues, and communication with the royal capital... and the daily practice that can never be relaxed.

Needless to say, the army and the dreadnought are top priorities.

Fortunately, after training by Just, the Dreadnought Vanguard now has an elite momentum, which is enough to defeat the gnolls with fewer strikes and more attacks.

Later on, you just need to do your daily training.

The training results of the garrison regiment are also quite gratifying, especially after the garrison battle, the soldiers' momentum is high, and their courage is even stronger.

"By the way, I've accumulated some power points during this time."

"It's been more than half a month since I helped Brayman break through the Knights, and now I can get two points a day, now count... Hey, it's 40 o'clock, and I've never felt so rich. ”

William pondered when another promotion would happen.

The goal of this promotion can be placed on the Fearless Vanguard.

Picking a few soldiers from within who are close to breaking through, coupled with the power point catalyst, may be able to add a few more knights to the Barron Territory.

The best candidates in his mind were the few knight apprentices he had taken from Salvatore.

With the exception of Breman as his attendant knight, everyone else was placed in the Intrepid Vanguard.

"If they're in good shape, pick them, after all, they're the first soldiers to follow me."

There is Picios in government affairs, and he has performed very well after taking over the government affairs department, not only can perfectly complete William's tasks, but also can draw inferences from one case to another to check and fill in the gaps, which is really a rare talent.

William was already planning to find a time to elevate Pisius to chief administrative officer.

Commercial progress is also good.

With Evergreen Vine Leaves, William was not worried about the Barron's business not being developed.

Instead, he worries about whether it will develop too quickly and bring some chaos.

……

The next day, a dusty army of 100 men entered Barron's territory.

The hundred men were all cavalry, and judging from the tired horses, they had been on the road for a long time, and after entering the Barron's territory, the chief knight inquired about the location of the city of Plenty, and galloped away with the people.

It didn't take long to advance before it was spotted by Barron's sentinels.

After some questioning, the sentry quickly whipped up and delivered the news to Black Rock Fort.

"What? Uncle Reke sent someone to help me? ”

Looking at the information in his hand, William had some mixed feelings.

Breman, who was standing on the side, bowed his head and said, "According to the information of the sentry, the other party claims to be from the MartΓ­nez Territory, and has come to support us on the orders of Viscount Reco Martinez.

Presumably they don't know yet, we've already repelled the aliens.

If they had come a few days earlier, they might have come across scattered alien soldiers. ”

"Alas, Uncle Reke still cares about me so much."

Immediately, he asked the chief knight who came to help him bring him up, and he met him in the living room of Black Rock Castle.

It didn't take long for a middle-aged knight to walk in in iron armor, and the long sword at his waist had been unloaded at the door.

"Honorable Lord William, Herbert Thornton sends you my sincerest greetings."

The middle-aged knight stroked his chest and saluted, with appropriate humility on his face:

"I have been ordered by Viscount Reke to lead 100 elite soldiers to support you, to defend you against the alien race of the wolf howling grassland, you can hand over the most difficult task to me, I will definitely live up to the mission."

"Knight Herbert, how is Viscount Reco doing?"

"Your Excellency the Viscount is all right, and when I set out, he personally led his troops out to fight the bandits. If it weren't for the rampant banditry, Lord Viscount would definitely come in person. ”

The middle-aged knight briefly depicts the condition of the Martinez Domain.

Overall, it is not very optimistic.

This year, perhaps due to the turmoil in the Kingdom of Dorne, there are more bandits on the Sides border than ever before.

Even the main city of the Lord of Martinez has been plundered by bandits.

They weren't as numerous as the aliens, and they weren't as elite as the werewolves, but they came and went like the wind, and they were as unpredictable as rats.

No, a village under the command of Martinez had just been sacked, and the peasants were killed and wounded, so angry that Viscount Reke was furious and personally led the army to conquer.

"The bandits are hateful!"

Beckoning the middle-aged knight to sit down for tea, William said:

"I don't know it, but the alien invasion army has arrived a few days ago. Fortunately, it was blocked by the soldiers, and now the alien race has withdrawn. ”

"The aliens have withdrawn?"

Herbert Thornton sighed lightly, "According to the previous management, shouldn't the alien race have been here for a while, but this year it has been advanced." ”

"There's no danger on my side now, Knight Herbert, what are you going to do?"

"Back to my lordship, before I set off, the viscount repeatedly emphasized that I would help you resist the alien race... But now ......"

"I have a suggestion."

After a pause, William continued:

"The situation in the MartΓ­nez territory is very dangerous, you better go back and help Viscount Reco. But you have been on the road for many days, so it is better to rest for a day and set off tomorrow.

Also, I'm interested in visiting Uncle Reke......"

"You're going to Martinez in person?"

"Yes, since the Barron Territory is no longer in danger, I can just go to the Martinez Territory and see if there is anyone I can help with."

Hearing William's words, Herbert Thornton was visibly moved.

He knew the situation of Martinez best, and he couldn't help but worry on the way here.

Now not only can you quickly return to Martinez, but you can also go back with reinforcements from Barron.

But

He was also worried about the impact on the Barron Collar.

If this really happened to him, Lord Reco Martinez would not be able to spare him.

"In this case, Knight Herbert Thornton, you go down and rest first, I have someone arrange it for you."

"Leave on time tomorrow afternoon."

"Lord William, will the alien race attack the Barron Territory again, I am worried that after you leave, the Barron Territory will be in danger."

"Don't worry, I have a plan!"
