Chapter 208 Summer Grain Harvest

Resurrection is a seven-ring magic, and it is also a spell that must be mastered by large magical organizations, as long as the body is intact and the soul has not been hit, the use of resurrection can bring the dead back to life.

Mastering this spell is almost the same as mastering a second life.

After receiving Dun Le King's letter, Richard decisively chose to exchange with the Dawn Church.

Immediately after the modification, Richard asked Heath and Butler to learn the spell.

Hiss and Butler are both low-level magicians in the Tower of Death, and Hiss is already a second-order magician and is also around forty years old.

His magical talent was average, and at the age of twenty-two, he was coerced into the Tower of Death, and it took almost twenty years to learn magic before he advanced to the second order.

People like Hiss are the template for most magicians.

The elemental affinity is average, and he has no talent for magic research, and he has studied magic all his life, and he can't break through the middle level when he is old.

Young mid-level magicians like Richard and Sophia are a minority in the wizarding world. Even in the Magic Kingdom of Macholm, mid-level magicians under the age of thirty are still very rare.

Hiss has been studying the Book of Death for many years, and his body has been eroded by the magical energy particles of the death attribute. Skinny, often coughing, and lung disease is more serious, it seems that it can't last too long.

Heath has a lower status in the Tower of Death, and is not as talented as some of the most gifted apprentices. His mission in the Tower of Death was to dispose of some of the more polluting magical materials.

After years of working like this, he was eroded by negative energy every day, which made Hiss feel extremely painful.

The fear of death haunts him day by day, but his soul is imprisoned in a crystal ball, and he wants to survive in the Tower of Death, and Hiss does not dare to refuse the task assigned to him.

Richard and Dunlegin drove out the necromancer Savio, and Jura died from the magic backlash.

The magic crystal ball that controls the members of the Tower of Death is destroyed by Richard, and Hiss is finally freed.

In his heart, he was very grateful to Richard and Dunlegin, and after coming to Haaland's territory, Hiss no longer practiced meditation, but instead learned two spells: blood group identification and ultrasonic detection.

Recently, Hiss is also preparing to learn the two spells of lethargy and healing minor injuries, and is preparing to transform into a healing mage.

Even if the Hiss magic is a death attribute, using life-type magic is half the effort, and the mana consumed is very large, and the effect is only about half of that of a normal magician, and using too much will lead to a magic conflict. It is also difficult to learn, taking more time than a normal magician.

But Hiss still enjoys it, and has studied healing spells very hard, and has learned to heal minor damage spells.

After a few months of recuperation, Hiss's health has also improved, most of his lung disease has been cured by the hospital, and he has a little muscle in his body. Although he still looks a little thin, he is not like a skeleton when he first arrived.

In the territory of Haaland, Heath also married a widow of twenty-eight.

It seems that Hiss is ready to say goodbye to the past once and for all.

Rich, who saw Hiss's change, granted him full membership in the Harland Mage Guild in advance, made him a freeman, and appointed Hiss to the position of vice president of the hospital.

Today, there are four directors of Haaland Hospital.

The chief dean is Adrian.

Adrian, a member of the Haaland family, has been studying magic for four years and was promoted to a higher magic apprentice in June this year. Adrian is not only skilled in magic, but also skilled in surgery, the third best surgeon in the hospital, participated in the writing of anatomy textbooks, and is now an important figure in the medical field of Haaland's territory.

The first-ranked vice president is named Sawyer, a veteran of the hospital's founding, she is not a magician, and her surgical level is also average, but she has strong management skills and is good at summing up experience. In the study of hemostatic ointments, Sawyer's contribution was second only to Richard. Sawyer is now in charge of the hospital's internal medicine department and is also in charge of the hospital's finances.

In third place is the surgical knife Griffin. Griffin was also an ordinary man, but he was very talented in performing surgery. The goddess of dawn gave him a pair of stable hands, so that he could save the dead and help the wounded, and countless people were alive. Griffin has a very in-depth study of surgery and anatomy.

At the bottom of the list is Heath. Hiss had learned the spell to heal minor injuries, and he didn't have any sorcerer's shelf, so even if the doctor's apprentice operated on him to cooperate, Hiss wouldn't have any complaints.

The status of the magic doctor in the hospital is superior, and a serious and responsible magician like Hiss is the first. In the evaluation of doctors and nurses, he far surpassed other magic apprentices.

Compared to Hiss's single-mindedness in integrating into the territory, Butler was very uncomfortable.

Butler is only in his twenties, has a high talent for magic, and is the key personnel of the Tower of Death.

Although Butler has no blood debt in his hands, he does have some sense of belonging to the Tower of Death.

After the Tower of Death suffered a heavy blow, Richard and Dunlegin got the meditation method, they naturally did not cultivate necromancers, and without the follow-up meditation method, Butler had broken the way in magic.

Butler was only twenty-three years old, a little younger than Richard, and wanted to continue his career in magic. Unlike Hiss, Butler is very fond of magic and desires power.

But this situation has made Butler very frustrated, and recently he has wanted to escape from Haaland's territory and find Savio, the leader of the Tower of Death.

Richard was very concerned about the minds of these members of the Tower of Death.

Butler's performance can be seen in ordinary times.

Sensing that Butler's mind is wrong, Richard is ready to talk to him and give him a chance to see if there is room for salvation?

Butler didn't know that he had a pair of eyes behind his back all the time.

Ruiz, who joined the intelligence department, was tasked with taking a field team to monitor these necromancers who had newly joined the territory.

As long as there is an escape from the territory, Richard will not be soft on these necromancers.

Richard called Butler to his office, pointed to a chair and said, "Sit by yourself, pour water if you want to." How's it going, are you still used to it? ”

"Everything is fine in the territory." Summoned by Richard alone, Butler had a ghost in his heart, his hands were already a little shaky, and his legs were a little weak.

"It's good to be able to adapt. You people don't know if you're lucky or not?

Call you lucky that the Tower of Death discovered your magical talents, set you on a transcendent path, and changed your mediocre fate.

But you are also unfortunate that the Tower of Death has left you from your homeland and killed your loved ones. In the process of learning magic, you deliberately made yourself kill each other, and paid a terrible price.

You're still young, and there's still hope for magic research, so don't think about it for a while and go down the wrong path. ”

Hearing Richard's words, Butler raised his head, couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, tears flowed down, and cried: "Is there really hope?" ”

"Actually, there is. Recently, I have created a new meditation method called the Book of Fire. This set of meditation methods is of fire attribute, and it has just been deduced to the fifth layer, and there are already new apprentices who have learned the Book of Flames without any sequelae. This is enough to show that I have a very deep understanding of meditation and have already made a deep discovery.

As the Book of Flames gradually improves, I will deduce a dark energy element meditation method according to the characteristics of the Book of Death, and you have only been a first-order magician for a short time, and the erosion of death energy is not serious, so you should still have the opportunity to switch to meditation methods. The next research focus of the Territory Mage Association will also be in this area.

Having said that, the choice is up to you. ”

Back in his room, Butler thought hard and finally decided to stay in Haaland's territory.

As long as there is hope, people will not go to a dead end.

Butler joined the Tower of Death for six years and witnessed countless killings.

Even if he finds Savio, relying on the tradition of necromancers, his life will inevitably be controlled by Savio and he will do many dangerous things for Savio.

As long as he can learn magic and his strength can continue to improve, Butler is willing to stay in Haaland's territory.

They are not born anti-humanoids, they all want to live in a stable social environment.

After appeasing Butler, the remaining magic apprentices were mediocre, only two were medium magical talents, and Richard talked to them separately and said that he would create a meditation method suitable for them to learn, temporarily stabilizing the two apprentices with good talents.

As for the less gifted apprentices, Richard settled in the hospital and let them learn auxiliary spells such as poison detection, light and repair.

Riverside Primary School has been in operation for three years and already has about 380 students.

The primary school is divided into three grades, adding up to ten classes, and some of the students with the fastest learning progress have graduated early, more than ten have stayed in the riverside primary school as teachers, and more than ten have gone to the army as intern staff officers.

This fall, more than 8,600 slaves will become freedmen.

At that time, there will be 24,000 freedmen in the territory, or about 22% of the total population.

By the end of June, the summer harvest begins.

Every year when the grain was harvested, Richard would patrol the territory and see the summer and autumn harvests with his own eyes.

The Barony of the Dirham, in particular, is now an important grain producer in the Haaland domain. This year, 160,000 mu of farmland has been cultivated, of which more than 40,000 mu are paddy fields in river valleys.

If the Dirham Territory has a bumper wheat harvest this year, it will receive 16,000 tonnes of grain, which can feed 60,000 or 70,000 people.

Richard's cousin, Donn, followed him.

Donne, the eldest son of the third uncle Bernie, the official in charge of agricultural production in Haaland's domain, has spent most of this year in the Barony of Dirham, and is very familiar with the situation in this territory.

Tang En was of average talent, he began to practice breathing at the age of sixteen, and was promoted to a professional in May this year.

Don wasn't too short of resources, it took him seven years to become a professional.

He did not join the main army, but cultivated the Silver Wolf Breathing Method, and according to the progress of his cultivation, he could be upgraded to the fourth order at the age of about fifty.

At the age of fifty, those who have just broken through to the intermediate level of professions have no future in the cultivation of the breathing method.

"This year's wind and rain are smooth, and the summer grain is a bumper harvest. But I found that some of the indentured slaves of the barony of the dirham have resentment and numbness on their expressions, and it seems that this group of lords is not very easy to manage? ”

Don listened to Richard's words, nodded and said, "That's true." Most of these indentured slaves came from the Barony of Harden, many of whom were freedmen, and after coming to our territory, they were demoted to serfs, and their living standards dropped a lot. There are a lot of strange things to say, and there are those who take risks to flee, and there are even those who attack the territorial officials.

The most dissatisfied are the families of professionals, this group of people is the top of the Barony of Harden, and now they have fallen into serfs, and it is understandable that they can't accept the gap for a while, and it is mainly these people who dare to resist. ”

Richard narrowed his eyes, thought carefully for a moment, and said: "These people happen to be the highest quality population in the Barony of Harden, and many of them are literate, so we must find a way to absorb this group of people and let them serve the territory." Among this group of people, are there any people who perform well and are willing to cooperate with us? ”

"Of course there are some."

"Get them, I want to meet them."

When Tang En heard this, he frowned a little and said, "These people have an enmity against us, what if they have a grudge in their hearts and carry out assassination after approaching you?" ”

This is the biggest drawback of bureaucracy, which will always find a way to limit the access of the lord to the grassroots. Even though Ron is a member of the Harland family and Richard's cousin, he will still instinctively prevent Richard from reaching the grassroots.

The leadership comes into contact with the grassroots every day, and the bureaucracy is not able to get up and down and rely on poor information to deceive. Emperor Daoguang could not afford to eat an egg of thirty taels of silver, which was a special manifestation of the peak of bureaucracy.

Richard waved his hand and said indifferently: "I'm not a king yet, my life is not so expensive, whoever wants to kill me, let him come." ”

Richard has awakened the talent of danger perception and can sense danger in advance. Coupled with his strength, he is enough to face most dangers.

On the attribute panel, Richard's mental power has reached 39 points, which is a little more than the most rubbish nine-ring magician.

There are no new spells invented, and there are no innovative magicians in spell research, even if they are promoted to the Nine Rings, their spiritual power will be 33 points, and their natural spiritual power will be stronger, and they will only be 356 points.

Such a magician has a very dull understanding of magic, and even if he has learned a few high-level magics, he may not be able to beat Richard in a fight.

Richard's strength is already fifteen points, which is comparable to that of an ordinary fifth-order warrior. A person of his strength, unless it was a legendary assassin, or an ordinary assassin was no match for Richard at all.

Seeing that Richard's words were not very good, the meaning was very resolute. Tang En didn't dare to persuade again, and immediately summoned some people who were willing to take refuge.

This group of people are really smart people, although they have fallen from the clouds to the valley. But he didn't complain about the heavens and hated Richard, who kicked them down from the top.

They knew in their hearts that the reason why they ended up like this was because they had taken refuge in the wrong lord, because of the mistake of the upper political side, and the root was Baron Harden.

He has become so miserable, and he has nothing to do with the Haaland family or Richard.

Even if Richard doesn't come, there will be other nobles who will enter the Barony of Harden and rob the population to turn them into serfs.

Richard is still relatively civilized, not ugly, and willing to give them a way out.

There are quite a few people in this group, adding up to more than a dozen households.

The families of the professionals in Barony Harden's domain add up to more than fifty. More than a dozen of them are also blood relatives of Baron Harden, and the rest of the professional families are only about thirty people.

Half of them can see the essence of the problem, and their bodies are more flexible. Families that can cultivate professionals are indeed better than ordinary people.

Richard talked with these people for a long time, and decided to buy them for a thousand dollars and give them freedom.

These dozen or so professional families, there were seven or eight educated people in their interior, and they were either appointed as grassroots bureaucrats in the territory, or appointed as teachers in the territory, and two young people were recruited to join the army staff office.

After Richard promoted some talents from Barony Harden's people, it achieved very good results, and many people saw those who had successfully turned over, and immediately had hope for life.

There is no such strong resistance to Haaland's territory.
