Luckily, it seems that the Silver Elves had this in mind at the beginning of the design.

Therefore, this part of the magic circuit does not use the common method of digging grooves in the base and then directly casting them with magic guide materials.

Instead, there are one pre-made guide rails after another, made of demonic material.

Even this part of the floor is designed as an open structure, and if force is applied at a special angle, it can be opened along the magic circuit for easy repair.

And such prefabricated parts, next to the high platform, are stored a lot.

After a rough estimate, in addition to repairing the entire magic array, there are still a few left.

The three of them exchanged opinions, and immediately unanimously decided to repair this magic array first!

It seems that all the creations of the elves are mainly elegant and light in style, and even these magic guides are not as heavy as they seem, but are both light and strong.

Liu Ergou even found some peculiar patterns on each rail. At first, he thought it was some kind of special magic technique, and immediately happily found Drissy to explore the mystery.

However, the two of them studied it over and over again for a long time, and in the end they could only conclude that these seemingly exquisite patterns were just decorative patterns.

The two of them were also quite speechless about the boring behavior of the ancient silver elves, which was equivalent to carving on the shells of cannonballs.

As for the discarded guide rails that have been replaced, they naturally cannot be wasted. Let Tufaun collect all these scraps and prepare to pack them up and take them away later.

You know, the reason why these rails can conduct magic is not only because of the special magic guide material, but also because of the special micro structure inside.

It looks like a solid guide rail, but inside each one, there is a prefabricated special structure. And it is precisely these special structures that make the subtle changes that take place gradually through the magical properties on them.

Even the internal structure of the guide rails in different parts is different from each other! If it weren't for the number corresponding to the magic array on each rail, Liu Ergou would probably not be able to repair this thing.

Therefore, although most of the special structure inside has been damaged due to the impact of magic power, the guide material of this guide rail itself is not bad!

Whether it's reprocessed into other magical items or sold directly as raw materials, you'll be very rewarded.

In a short time, the replacement of the rails was completed.

With the installation of the last guide rail in place, the originally dim magic array instantly lit up with bursts of glow! But after a few seconds, it quickly dimmed.

Is this broken? Isn't it somewhere?

Liu Ergou hurriedly stepped forward, rechecked it back and forth, and carefully sensed the flow of magic power in the magic array, then wiped the cold sweat and let out a sigh of relief.

It turned out that at the moment when the magic array was activated, due to the release of the energy accumulated in the concentrating array, the magic circuit responsible for combing reached a high load in a short period of time, which emitted a dazzling magic brilliance.

And with the release of energy, the level of magic power in the circuit dropped back to a lower level, which made the entire magic array look very bleak.

Since it can only collect discrete magic energy in the environment, the magic power output of the magic array is naturally very slow, so such a bleak state is the current normal state.

But there is one thing that Liu Ergou doesn't know. Producing the essence of life not only requires the accumulation of a large amount of energy, but also requires a powerful "primer" as the core of gathering life energy.

The alchemy machinery in the experimental hall is actually mainly used to refine this "primer", and providing energy is secondary.

Therefore, in the past thousands of years, the energy slowly provided by the recovery center has been transformed by the magic array to continuously accumulate the volume of the essence stone with the original life essence as the core.

And now, since Liu Ergou has taken this core and there is no new "introduction", even if the recovery center is restarted, the energy provided will not create a new life essence, but will only flow into the energy pool and store it.

So Liu Ergou didn't know that the "Life Essence Wholesale Plan" in his heart was no longer a show.

But now, Liu Ergou and Tufaen were carrying a bundle of waste pieces and happily walking outside the base.

The reason for the happiness is naturally because Al finally popped up a window, prompting Liu Ergou that the task has been completed!

After all, this trip not only obtained the most critical life essence, but also harvested a large bundle of precious magic guide materials by the way.

And because of the addition of Drisy, he not only gained a valuable talent, but also was able to discover several precious materials in this Sunset Mountain Range, which is simply a profit!

Oh yes, that's not counting the blue-winged bats that were captured, I wonder if Celia and Ellanster have figured out a way to domesticate this thing?

One thing was unexpected. Originally, Liu Ergou thought that this essence of life should be sent to him by the system in some way after completing the task.

After doing it for a long time, including this essence of life, all the rewards turned out to be found by yourself?

The emotional system is to point out a way for yourself, what about the white wolf with empty gloves?

This unconscionable money fan forgot that the domestication of blue-winged bats is still the detailed information provided by the system.

Thinking of this, Liu Ergou was also a little strange.

How did the system know that there were the ruins of the Silver Elves here, and how did it know that there was the essence of life here?

Not to mention the task of repairing the magic circle. said that the system didn't know in advance, so Liu Ergou didn't believe it if he was killed.

However, his intuition told him that the question was not yet spoken, at least for now.

At present, I honestly enjoy the blessings brought by the system, and it is the king to grow up quickly. Anyway, this thing hasn't cheated itself until now, has it?

Just when Liu Ergou was thinking nonsense......

"Ding!" A crisp bell instantly dragged his boundless thoughts back.

NEW MISSION!

"Purpose: Expansion of Kitahara Castle"

"The mission information is as follows:

"1. Expansion of Kitahara Castle

"2. Develop water sources and solve the food problem caused by the increase in population

"3. Obtain the title of Earl of the Field and above

Rewards: ???

Time frame: 1 year"

Looking at the task in front of him, Liu Ergou couldn't figure it out at all.

One is because this Beiyuan City is still a matter of eight characters, why is it expanding now? Also population increases?

Because of the attack of the gargoyle lord, the Maiss rat clan lost a considerable number of young warriors. Originally, Liu Ergou and Ellanster had the intention of promulgating new clan rules to encourage more children...... Where does this population growth come from?

The second reason is that the tasks given by the system in the past are very clear, and they are basically simple and clear questions such as where to kill and how much to kill.

Even Liu Ergou didn't reveal it before he set off? The mission information, Al also informed him just now, and its content is "collecting the guide materials in the ruins", that is, the batch of scraps that were replaced.

But this time?

Putting aside the issue of water sources, this is just "obtaining the title of Earl or above in the field"?

The title is not a cabbage, can it be obtained if you say that you can get it?

For a while, Liu Ergou didn't understand what to do next!

After some complicated operations, Liu Ergou still followed Dries back to the city with difficulty. Although he boasted to Drissy at the beginning, saying that it was easy for him to be made a real earl.

But at the beginning, Liu Ergou slipped around the temple of the Swan Clan, and after getting the title of order sacrifice, he was assigned to this northern plain as a lord. Not to mention the nobility, he hadn't even seen much of what the empire looked like.

And this northern plain is a land of lawlessness all year round, and no one has ever seen what a real aristocrat looks like, let alone the class system.

Even if Liu Ergou is now the de facto leader of the Oro and Maith clans, he is more like a tribal chief than an orthodox lord.

After thinking about it, I still have to go to Drith Elementary School to make up for the class.

Liu Ergou is very fortunate now, fate is simply a charcoal in the snow, and when he needs it most, he just dropped a sister Lin for him...... Phew, Sister De.

Otherwise, I, an alien, led a group of alien natives to survive in the wilderness in this lawless land where birds don't?

In the future, when you come to the civilized world, you will definitely suffer a lot of losses!

So after thinking about it, Liu Ergou finally revealed his doubts to Dress and Pan. Of course, it is still under the pretext of developing Kitahara Castle.

The existence of the system, Liu Ergou does not intend to let anyone know.

Drise didn't doubt him. Anyway, there is, she is now tying herself to Liu Ergou's chariot, and she is naturally happy to see that the thicker this thigh, the better.

It's just that this lecture lasted for an hour, and it wasn't until she was about to come out of the ruins that Drissy gave Liu Ergou a complete explanation of the current situation of the empire.

With Driss's explanation, Liu Ergou had a complete understanding of the aristocratic system of the empire.

In the entire aristocratic system, the Earl of the Field has a very unique and important meaning that is different from all other nobles!

Specifically, it can be roughly broken down into two meanings.

The first is "on the ground".

The pyramid composed of the royal family, the lords, the commoners, and the slaves, which is composed of these four identities from top to bottom, is the most intuitive embodiment of the imperial class system, and is also the basis for maintaining the stable rule of the empire.

But in this pyramid, the boundaries between the classes, with the exception of the royal family, which is always at the top of the tower, are not always clear.

For example, during the Devenston period, her barony was attached to the county of Fairmau. In addition, Drissy is a direct subordinate title from Derwinston, rather than an honorary title obtained alone.

This means that even though she has not yet inherited the title and domain of Devenston, Drissy still has some dominion over Ferm. This makes her status far above the glorious nobles, basically in the middle of the "lord" layer.

And Devenston, as the earl of the field, has almost reached the top of this level. Further up, there is only the Marquis of the field.

But with the defeat of Devenston, Fermau's fiefdom was wiped out almost overnight. And Delisi, who has no territory, has also plummeted in status, and has fallen directly to the bottom of this layer.

At this level, in the eyes of many powerful aristocrats, Dress is no different from a commoner. This "real power" can be its own fiefdom or a powerful suzerainty with a fief.

Even if she can't fulfill the obligations assigned by the royal family, then she will be stripped of her title of glorious baron! In that case, Drith would have completely fallen into a civilian.

And in the legal system of the empire, the aristocracy naturally has an overwhelming advantage over the commoners! This advantage is so great that even if a nobleman kills a commoner, as long as there is a suitable excuse, he can avoid death!

Therefore, once she falls into a civilian, there is no place for Drissy to turn over.

In fact, the merchants and the like, who did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to befriend or even directly worship the great nobles of the field, were precisely in order to obtain even the most insignificant knighthood.

Only by attaining aristocratic status can you have a chance to gain a foothold in high society.

Otherwise, no matter how rich the commoners are, in the eyes of the nobles, they are just a piece of fat that can be enjoyed at any time.

The second is the "earl".

Theoretically, from the baron to the grand duke, no matter which rank the title, there is a chance to obtain a fief.

But in fact, the Earl's rank is a very important watershed. Below this watershed, viscounts and barons, large and small, were almost all attached to their Earl Suzerain.

And if it was according to Driss's original plan, even if she really handed over the essence of life, she would only be an independent viscount.

The most common way for such an independent petty nobleman with a low status and no fiefdom is to become a scapegoat and victim of the major magnates falling against each other.

For example, in a certain political conspiracy, he was handed over as the culprit. And the bigwigs in the upper echelons never cared whether such a weak aristocrat was capable of instigating such a conspiracy.

They only care about how much they can gain from it, and whether sacrificing such a nobleman is enough to nominally compensate for the loss of their "dignity".

And above this watershed there was a higher level of field marquises, but it was more of a title given to the patriarch of a large family to show his dominance over the nobles of all levels in the family.

For such field marquises, although they nominally have a vast territory, except for their own direct fiefdoms, the field marquis has no power over the field counts in the field, such as administration, law, and conscription, but only collects a certain amount of taxes on a regular basis.

For example, in the case of Devenston, he only paid a tax to the marquis who ruled the southwestern province every year, and the rule of the Fermu Territory was still firmly in his hands.

In this sense, the Marquis of the Field is actually equivalent to the Earl of the Field. Except, of course, for a few large families with a long heritage.

For example, like the Five Great Families, the patriarch has almost absolute dominion over the entire family. Such a behemoth is far from being comparable to ordinary marquises.

As for the Grand Duke further up, it was a title that was given to the emperor's relatives.

As a sign of royal respect for the nobility, the Grand Dukes were generally given a fief separate from all marquises, roughly equivalent in size to two counties.

Therefore, the earl of the field is the backbone of the "lord" layer; And only when you are above the earl of the field are you qualified to become a real nobleman who participates in the rule of the empire.

A very simple example, all the pot-bellied generals in the military department are actually all earls on the ground.

After slowly sorting out and digesting what Drissy explained, Zhao Zhu fell into deep thought.

According to Driss, to become a field earl is nothing more than to implement two things: a knighthood and a fief.

The title is not a difficult thing, Zhao Zhu was blessed by the god of war in public, and Thatcher personally sealed the order sacrifice! With this title alone, you can get at least one earldom.

The real problem lies in the fiefdom. Zhao Zhu was sealed in the Northland Wasteland, nominally by drawing lots, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this place is greasy.

Although it is not clear for the time being why this order sacrifice of the god of war was suppressed, one thing is certain.

From the very beginning, this mastermind behind the scenes did not intend to make Zhao Zhu a field nobleman!
