Three o'clock in the afternoon.

The rangers find a piece of high ground with a wide view and a steep terrain.

The highlands are semi-circular, high on three sides, more than 20 meters, and are quite smooth stone walls, difficult to climb, and only one side is a gentle slope.

It is a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The military side was handled by Chabolais.

He shouted, "The wagons go up first, then the ox carts, and the ox carts form a half circle at the bottom of the slope to form a temporary parapet."

"The gap between the ox carts must be small, so that they cannot pass people."

"yes, that's it."

Soon, a makeshift camp was completed.

More than 20,000 people rested on the hillside, with the mage led by Lawson at the top, then the political officials and the Silver Moon Ranger, and then the more than 20,000 people of the Crescent Lord, and then the parapet of ox carts.

Subsequently, Chapole planned to follow the traditional method of defence, adding defensive planks to the bullock cart parapet.

At this time, Rosen rushed over with the mage.

"Uncle, let's help."

Shaporai looked at the mage who rushed over, a little confused: "These are all rough jobs, how can you help?"

Rosen smiled slightly, waved his hand at the nearly 300 mages behind him, and shouted, "Guys, open the eyes of Lord Shapolei."

The young mages responded in unison, "Yes, Mayor Mare!"

Then, the mages began to build a petrified wall in front of the bullock cart parapet according to the petrified construction technique they had practiced in the village of Philander.

I saw that one by one mages were in groups of four, casting spells in tacit cooperation with each other.

With a dizzying speed, they built tall blocks of stones, and then these stones were quickly and tightly connected together to form a stone wall.

The whole process lasted about two hours.

Two hours later, the sun had set, the sky had darkened, and the petrified walls had taken shape.

The city wall is 400 meters long, 8 meters high, the foundation is five meters thick, the top floor is two meters wide, the outer vertical slope, the inner slope, the temporary camp on the rear slope is tightly protected.

Even better, because of the petrochemical material, the color of the petrified wall is basically the same as the ground, and behind the wall is a rising slope, so there is a kind of invisible effect.

When the light is dim, the difference between the stone wall and the slope is not clear from the distance, and you have to run to a few hundred meters to notice the anomaly.

Shapole on the side was already dumbfounded.

"Rosen, what about you building a fortress?"

Just temporarily rested for the night, built such a stone wall, and the ox cart was full of supplies, and it could hold on for more than half a year.

Lawson laughed, "Just in case."

The main thing is that the cost is very small, it is nothing more than tired, but if it is used, it can greatly reduce the loss.

After all, this place is a wilderness, there are rebels in the mountains, and Vopos and Faeron are mortal enemies.

There's always something wrong with being prepared.

When everything was arranged, it was completely dark.

Piles of bonfires were lit on the slopes for heating, and large cauldrons were set up on the bonfires, in which potatoes, pastries and a few strips of cured meat were boiled, and a little salt was added, and when boiled, the aroma of food came out.

More than 20,000 Crescent Lords gathered around the bonfire in the original countryside to enjoy this rare comfort.

In the past month or so, these farmers have also eaten and drunk enough, and they have not had much to work.

Everyone has gained weight, the big men have gained weight, and the faces of the little girls and old ladies have become round, their breasts have become bigger, and their faces have improved.

The children also jumped their heads.

It is also conceivable that when the days are completely settled, Crescent Town should usher in a rather violent wave of baby booms, and the population is estimated to rise by several thousand at once.

At the top of the slope, the carriage circled again, and many bonfires were also lit in the circle.

This is the resting place of the Mage and the Silvermoon Ranger.

One of the campfires was sitting around

The core personnel of Crescent Town.

The men are Rosen, Shabolai, Harrick, Wizard Hal, and Knight Hamill.

The women include Thrandis, Gendelloni, Master Ladia, and Chapolai's exclusive female officer, Cania, who is also his childhood sweetheart's playmate.

At this time, the weather is clear, the moon is scarce, the campfire is warm, and the cauldron on the fire wafts with a strong aroma of food.

There are also a lot of bacon jerky that is grilled in the charcoal fire, and it is grilled to the point that every time the fat falls into the charcoal fire, it makes a "sizzle" sound.

As a result, the aroma of barbecue in the air becomes more and more intense.

Everyone chatted while eating dinner.

After a few bites, Shabolai asked, "Rosen, are you really planning to build a town with petrification?"

Harrick echoed, "Although I would love to believe in your spells, I always feel a little panicked when it is the precedent of the Golden Land."

With the hands of a mage, Lawson was peeling shredded tender meat from a golden roasted deer leg, peeling a bowl of it, and then handing it to his good sister.

"Two uncles, I won't say much about the performance of petrification, let's talk about the construction cost."

"On the high ground, a small two-story building made of stone and clay, the area is half a ram, and it usually takes a dozen people to work hard and spend three or four months to complete."

"And in Silvermoon Castle, such a stone building is not a premium, and there is no land price, only the cost of materials and labor, which will cost about 300 crowns." Z.br>

Harrick took a sip of his honey and nodded in agreement.

"Lawson's estimate is reasonable, and it's even cheaper. In the last year, there have been two major purchases, and the cost of materials has risen significantly, and now I am afraid that 400 crowns is not enough."

Rosen opened his mouth, took the tender strip of meat that Thrandis handed him to his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, and then the tone changed.

"But using petrification to build a stone house with the same function, as long as you hire four mages who are skilled in petrochemical construction, it can be built in a maximum of three days, and the cost is 50 crowns."

As soon as these words came out, Xia Bolai smacked his lips, very disbelieving.

"Oh~ This sounds like a dream!"

Master Hal on the side sighed lightly, his face full of emotion.

"I thought it was a dream, but now, all I can say is the power of knowledge."

Ladia looked at Lawson, "Master Lawson, I heard Gaius say that you are still planning to use petrification to build a dam?" Wouldn't it be too risky?"

Lawson nodded, "Yes, indeed. But what I'm going to build is a gravity dam."

"In other words, even if the petrification is completely dispersed, relying on the adhesive properties and weight of the soil itself, the reservoir can easily be blocked to ensure that there will be no catastrophe of dam failure."

Lydia's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Ah~ As soon as you say that, I don't have any worries."

Master Hal also understood, and he whispered, "There is a reservoir upstream, and water can be diverted all the way to the town through the petrochemical pipes buried in the ground. The town will have no worries about water at all."

Lawson nodded, "That's exactly what I thought."

The drinking water project is really implemented, and the details are also very particular.

But Rosen had already conceived a whole plan for the town's water system.

Harrick smiled, "I feel like Crescent Town is going to be very beautiful, and I'm already looking forward to it."

Lawson laughed too.

After a few sips of the broth, he described the beautiful town in a deep tone.

"I'm going to build a beautiful, spacious, clean, sunny town full of flowers and greenery."

"The streets are wide and flat, the buildings on the side of the town are bright and warm, and the people of the town are strong and healthy."

"No one defecates on the streets, there is no dark mud on the streets, and there is no sour stench in the air."

"Every day, there are people who clean the streets, and there are people who take care of the big trees and gardens along the streets."

"There are all kinds of pipes underground, there are

Some of them drain the rainwater, while others specialize in the discharge of filth."

"There will also be more warm bathrooms in the town, so that the townspeople can take more baths, wash off the dust and sweat on their bodies, and get rid of fleas and bed bugs, so that the room will not be full of stench when crowded, and there is no need to worry about fleas jumping around."

Gentloni whispered softly with a yearning on her face.

"Ah~ It's like a fairy tale town."

Thrandis was also full of longing: "It feels like a pearl set in the earth."

Everyone else was also infected by the scene described by Rosen, and their hearts were full of anticipation.

But Rosen's tone of voice immediately changed.

"These are the ideal scenarios, and to achieve them, you have to put in extraordinary efforts."

"The monsters of the Vorpos, the Feron, the Snowfall Mountains, and even the ice dwarves of the Frostlands may stand in the way of this ideal scenario."

"All we mages can do is use our wisdom and knowledge to light a flaming torch to dispel the darkness that has coalesced from savagery and greed!"

The warriors present didn't feel anything, but the mages felt a hot blood flowing in their chests when they were lit up by Lawson's words.

Hal couldn't help but say, "Lawson, maybe one day, Crescent Town will become a holy place for mages."

When he said this, Ladia smiled slightly.

"The Holy Names of the Holy Land are created by people, and if Crescent Town can give birth to an archmage, it will indeed be a Holy Land."

As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Thrandis, "I think it's very likely that Madame Filand will break through the Master's Cliff within ten years."

Shabolai shouted in a lively manner: "Ten years, I think five years is enough!"

Thrandis at this time was Anna.

She was dignified and reserved, her white jade cheeks were as delicate as flowers reflected by the bonfire, and she smiled slightly when she heard the words, so she was like a bright moon, eclipsing everyone around her.

She smiled humbly: "I don't dare to say how long it will take to break through, as long as I can break through, my heart will be extremely satisfied."

The voice was delicate and gentle, and everyone was subconsciously silent when they heard it, for fear that their rudeness would surprise the beauty.

After dinner, they went back to their carriages and went to sleep.

The carriage was very spacious, and after putting away the chairs and covering them, there was a large bed that was more than two meters long and three meters long.

Although it is not as good as the bed at home, it is not crowded to sleep three people.

Before going to sleep, Gendeloni suddenly took out a small wooden box and handed it to Rosen, "Honey, we have a small gift for you."

"What? Ritual weapons?" Rosen was pleasantly surprised.

Thrandis explained, "You've been busy in the realm for a few days, and I've come up with a new idea, and Jenny has built a nice artifact based on that idea."

"I call it the Inner Amplification Bracelet, which briefly increases the polarity of fire or gravity by 40% as needed."

Lawson was shocked: "So strong?"

Although the higher the base strength of a spell, the stronger the marginal effect, the Polar Stance increase in power is no longer the case at the mid-level.

However, a 40% increase in the polarity value is enough to increase the power of the mid-level spells corresponding to the polarity by more than two times.

Gendeloni was not satisfied: "Good is good, but it is very material-intensive. The best moonstone at the core of the bracelet will crack after ten uses."

In other words, this thing is expensive.

But for Rosen now, this is not a big problem.

So, he kissed the two girls a few times on the cheeks, one big and one small, and then opened his big hands and held the warm and soft bodies of the two girls in his arms.

"I'm very happy to receive such a gift."

"Now, let's start meditating."

Convergence meditation was already very proficient, and the trio quickly got into the best shape.

After a meditation, both women yawned and fell asleep.

Lawson didn't fall asleep, he closed his eyes and sank into the virtual machine, and began to familiarize himself with this powerful method that he had accidentally obtained

Utensil.

As the camp fell silent, a large group of dark shadows approached the highlands by moonlight in the mountains to the north of the highlands.

When he got close to the high ground, a tall man in the lead raised his hand and shouted.

"Stop, rest in place for three hours, eat dry food and drink water, and wait for midnight to come!"

A large group of black shadows, large and small, stopped together, sat on the ground to eat and drink, and regained their strength.

Three hours passed quickly, and as midnight fell, the heavens and the earth became unusually silent.

The tall man turned his head to look at a gray-hatted masked man beside him.

"Mr. Mage, it's your turn, right?"

The masked man had thick white hair and looked very old.

He nodded slightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's almost."
