The ogre's brain can be used to refine deep meditation potions. It's a pity that there is no recipe for a deep meditation potion in Haaland's territory.

In the Magic Kingdom of Makholm, this material can be sold for a high price of more than three hundred gold coins, but when sold to the Mage Association of the Grant Kingdom, it can only be sold for about two hundred gold coins.

The Magic Kingdom of Makholm is more than 10,000 kilometers away from Fort William, and even if you ride a fast horse, it takes more than half a year to go back and forth.

Moreover, there are many dangerous areas along the way, and you need to follow a large noble caravan to pass, which will delay a year's work.

Richard needed to run the territory and couldn't leave it for too long. Although Sophia is very familiar, Margaret is still young and cannot leave the child for too long.

Of the three magicians of the Harland family, only Wendy has time to go to the Magic Kingdom of Macholm.

I heard that a war broke out in the Kingdom of St. Gruy on the way, and the road was not very safe, and Richard was not worried that Wendy would pass through the war-torn country alone.

In desperation, he could only temporarily endure the exploitation of the Grant Mage Association and sell the raw materials cheaply.

After returning to Fort William, Richard began to continue to deduce the Book of Fire, counting the No. 4 meditation method cultivated by ogres, Richard had already read four advanced meditation methods, which can be called well-informed.

In particular, the Starlight Meditation Method is a set of super meditation methods that can be cultivated to the fourth-order legend.

Every time he reads and studies this meditation book, Richard can't help but admire Shao Gongyuan's breadth of knowledge and far-reaching thinking for the people who created this meditation book.

Every person who has a talent for magic has a different affinity for various elements.

In the Dawn plane, according to the theory of ancient magicians, there are more than a dozen magical elements such as wind, fire, water, earth, light, darkness, thunder and lightning, stars, and souls.

The so-called magical elements refer to various types of magical energy particles.

The highland meditation method that Richard cultivated mainly absorbed was the earth element and the wind element.

But the Richard element has the highest affinity, precisely the soul element, followed by the light element. The elemental affinity between the earth element and the wind element on his body is very average, so the effect of meditation is not very good, if it weren't for the help of killing power, he might not be able to advance to a mid-level mage so quickly.

Sophia has the highest affinity for the water element, followed by the wind element, and the earth element has the highest affinity for the Wendy element.

When Richard first learned magic, he didn't even understand the common sense of magic, and he finally got a magic book, so he naturally grabbed it and practiced.

Once a magician chooses a path, it is difficult to change it.

If Richard practiced meditation methods such as the Book of Light and the Book of Light, the effect of meditation would be much better.

Although he has the highest affinity for soul elements, because of the conflict between the three views formed in his previous life and the cognition of soul magic, the speed of learning soul magic is very slow, and he is not suitable for taking the path of soul mage and necromancer.

Now that Richard has created the Book of Fire, children with a high affinity for the fire element in the territory can choose to practice the Book of Fire meditation.

A large magical organization must have meditation methods of various attributes. In order to teach students according to their aptitude, they can quickly cultivate mature magicians.

Each generation of magicians can push into the new, and the magical civilization will make progress and development.

According to Sophia, Albert Sacco, the speaker of the Magic Council, has completed the deduction of two legendary meditation books.

The Fourth Meditation Method, though very rough, is closer to the essence of magic.

By reading the Fourth Meditation Method, Richard gradually had a new way of thinking. Then, through brainstorming and listening to other people's ideas, he began to deduce the Book of Fire.

By the time the winter came, Richard had already deduced to the seventh layer. The meditation method that can be cultivated to the four rings, even if it is placed in the Magic Kingdom of Makholm, has a certain value, and it can be exchanged for a lot of magic crystals.

In recent months, in addition to deducing meditation methods, Richard has also found time to make a batch of enchanted leather armor.

The quality of the enchanted armor made of ogre skin surpasses that of snake scale armor.

More than forty ogres, with the skin peeled off, can make about a hundred pieces of armor.

Of these 100 pieces of armor, Richard was equipped with all the first squadron to strengthen the fist in his hand.

Now there are sixteen professionals in the first squadron, and the veterans all have enchanted armor, and when the war breaks out, the squadron will be equipped with thirty pieces of brute force armor and twenty pieces of light spirit armor.

Veterans who have been in the army for more than five years, everyone has an enchanted sword. There are also more than thirty archers in the first squadron, equipped with enchanted bows and crossbows.

These archers already have a third-order archery level.

The combat effectiveness of the first squadron is second only to the Warcraft cavalry squadron, and the combat effectiveness of the two armies is superior to that of the orcs' snake-body heavy infantry squadron because of the large number of people.

The snake-body scale armor replaced by the first squadron was strengthened to the second and third squadrons.

Although these two squadrons are much weaker than the first squadron, they are also the main squadrons of Harland's territory, and they are equipped with more than a hundred pieces of enchanted armor and thirty pieces of magic armor together.

The three squadrons have less than 500 elite soldiers, and with the alchemy bomb, the combat effectiveness is enough to compete with the orc brigade.

By this winter, after Richard counted it, there were already 186 professionals in the army of Haaland's territory.

In the event of a state of war, the mage group, the medical team, and the church priest group will be strengthened, and the total number of professionals is estimated to reach more than 200 people.

In less than ten years, the number of professionals in the territory has exceeded 200, and the speed of development is very fast. The sixty years of accumulation in the viscount of Cisse cannot be compared with the territory of Haaland.

While Richard was busy, in the western part of the Eagle Mountains, the legendary ogre Greso received the news that the ogre tribe had been wiped out.

The tribe of ogres that Richard annihilated was a descendant of Grayso.

In particular, the ogre Tagrat is the youngest son of the legendary ogre Greso.

Because he liked this little son very much, Greso gave him such a precious treasure as the Thunderbolt Staff.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Greso let Tagrat go out to practice, he was completely wiped out by Haaland's territory, and it was rumored that even the skin on his body was made into armor by humans.

When Greso heard the news, he was very angry, but he didn't let the anger get carried away, and rashly went down the mountain to seek revenge on Haaland's territory.

Greso has been able to stand firm in the Eagle Mountains for many years, has a very good intelligence, and is very good at seeing the situation, and has a deep study of geopolitics.

When he found out that Tagrat was dead, he immediately believed that humans had set a trap at the bottom of the mountain, trying to ambush and kill him when he descended the mountain.

Despite his frenzy, Greso's response was very organized, first informing the human spies hiding in Duke Edward's county to collect detailed information about Haaland's territory, and then deciding whether to do it or not after collecting the information?

Although Greso likes to eat people, he is very good at using human spies, and has been dealing with the Duke of Edward for hundreds of years, and Greso's intelligence network has completed the infiltration of the Duke of Edward.

Through coercion, temptation, magic control and other means, the people who serve the legendary ogre, and some even come from within the Duke Edward's family.

Through Duke Edward's intelligence network, Graysor quickly obtained information on a part of Haaland's territory.

After getting the information, Greso deliberately stood still and observed for a while. After discovering that it was not a trap, he was ready to take revenge on the Haaland family.

With this idea in mind, Greso began to draw manpower.

It is more difficult for ogres to give birth, and in the entire western part of the Eagle Mountains, there are dozens of ogre tribes, with a combined population of about 2,000 people.

Although the ogre is powerful, it is too small in population and is not a match for a duke.

A duke has at least one main legion, two garrison legions, a population of at least one million, and a large number of professionals under its command.

If the Duke of Edward is determined to eliminate the ogre, as long as he is willing to pay a certain price, he can still destroy his opponent.

But there is a legend behind the ogre, and if you can't solve the legendary ogre, you will cause a lot of trouble if you exterminate the ogre tribe.

Gregor is bent on seeking revenge on Duke Edward, and Duke Edward may not be able to prevent it.

After all, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, as long as you relax a little, you will be killed by the legendary ogre hiding in the shadows.

Legendary terrorists wreak havoc, and even a kingdom is very difficult to guard against.

Until the last minute, Duke Edward did not want to offend a legend.

One of the most critical issues is that the Kingdom of Grant does not have a legendary prophecy mage who can set traps to hunt legendary-level opponents.

In order to plot against the legendary magician Elena of the Venus family, Duke Bryna even used the means of pretending to be dead, but he still did not completely kill his opponent.

This tactic can only be used once, and it will be difficult to bait the opponent next time.

Greso mobilized five hundred ogres to prepare for a raid on Haaland's territory.

He had just entered Geda Province when he suddenly felt a strong palpitation, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly appeared in his heart, as if a great disaster was coming.

As a legendary magician, Graysor has several special talents, one of which is the same as Richard's, which is danger perception.

The greater the perceived danger, the greater the fear in the heart.

Greso's advanced legend has been nearly a hundred years, and he has only felt this terrible feeling two or three times.

After the danger perception talent was alerted, Greso immediately abandoned his ogre and quickly returned to his lair. It wasn't until this terrible feeling disappeared that the pressure in my heart lessened somewhat.

The ancestors all fled, and the remaining ogres were not fools, and they immediately noticed the abnormality and chose to retreat.

In fact, the reason why the legendary ogre felt the danger was because Richard had the Starlight Necklace on his body.

The Starlight Necklace comes with a Legendary Magic Starlight Bomb.

The Starlight Bomb is an iconic magic created by the fourth-order legend Shao Gongyuan, and its lethality is very powerful.

This magic is used well, and it can threaten the life of a legendary ogre.

It just so happens that the legendary ogre Gresor has a talent for danger perception, and he is a cunning and very cautious character.

Sensing danger, he fled without losing face.

The legendary ogres have all fled, and the remaining ogres will of course secretly speculate that they have returned to the western part of the Eagle Mountains without even entering the territory of Harland.

Richard was ignorant and unexpectedly survived a crisis. He didn't know anything about all this.

This crisis is over before it has even begun.

This year, more than 47,000 people have poured into the territory.

With such a huge influx of population, the guarantee of territorial life and production resources has become a very critical task.

The vast majority of these 47,000 people were arranged in the two baronies of Stopa and Dirham.

Within the two baronies, more than 360,000 acres of farmland have been reclaimed. Counting the original population of the Stopa Domain, the two baronies now have a population of 70,000.

Riccha looked at the atlas, the two southernmost territories have the best agricultural conditions, and if all the wasteland is developed, 100,000 acres of farmland can be reclaimed.

In another two or three years, there will be no flat wasteland in this area, and it will be considered mature to be developed.

As for the development of terraces on the hills, it requires very large projects, and there are still a lot of wastelands in the territory, so it is not necessary to go to this step.

In hilly terrain, Richard was not prepared to reclaim terraced fields, but was prepared to engage in the cultivation of cash crops such as brown sugar, fruit trees, and medicinal herbs.

In addition, the hilly terrain is also particularly suitable for pasture farming. In recent years, wool textile has been the largest industry in the territory, and doing a good job in the wool textile industry is far more profitable than building terraces to grow grain.
