Chapter 24: The Current State of Behemoth Manor
[Sometimes it's not that I'm not strong enough, but I don't want to believe it all the time, but sometimes ignorance is terrible. ββThe 22nd day of the 146th year of the Guangming period]
In view of my lack of knowledge, I decided to spend a day to make up for the basic situation in the Giant Beast Manor, which is responsible for the family members of the manor and for myself.
So the next day I found Rebecca.
"Rebecca, do you have any records of people in the manor and any other documents like the registration of items? I found that I didn't know the basics of our manor, and I was a little irresponsible, so I wanted to make up for it. β
"Yes, yes, but the registration has not yet been completed, I have to sort out so many documents by myself, and I have to manage the daily work of the manor, I am really too busy, can you arrange a few more people?"
Rebecca said aggrieved.
After listening to Rebecca's story, I felt that I was really too irresponsible, and it was too much to throw so many things to a weak little girl to do, and at the same time I was surprised: "Wouldn't it? Are you doing it all alone? β
"Yes, sir!"
The more I listened, the more I felt that I was going a little too far, and that it was too much for so many people to have Rebecca in charge of their daily diets.
I suddenly found myself ignoring one person:
"What about Otham? What is she doing? β
Hearing Otham, Rebecca said listlessly:
"Oh, she doesn't have time. She hadn't studied the Arcane Codex you gave her, and she had been in the house all day! β
"Still researching, what kind of brain is this? I've been studying a book for more than a year and I'm still working on it! β
"Your Excellency, you said lightly, it's the Arcane Codex! I dare to guarantee that no one in the entire continent dares to say that they can study it thoroughly in three years, or even in a lifetime! β
Otam apparently heard me in the room, and came out of his room to retort that her point was supported by Rebecca, who was already nodding vigorously.
"Rebecca, did you research it too?"
"Otam also taught me, I can't even read it, it's too profound!" Rebecca said with a look of shame.
I really wanted to scold after hearing this, but I could only cover my forehead and sigh: "My dear mother, can't you just throw away that book?" If you don't understand the research, don't do it; I found that you all like to turn the horns, dwarves like this, elves like this, even the two of you like this, I really don't understand, the previous things must be good? If you don't have to study thoroughly, it's a waste of time! Isn't it good to simply be yourself? You have to learn from others! β
Otam seemed very unconvinced, and raised the bar with me:
"My lord, you have learned the lightness you said, why can't we study it?"
I really can't stand this kind of shaft man, but I can't watch these two cute little girls fall deeper and deeper, so I can only decide to be the bad guy:
"Well, then I'll tell you how I learned it, and let your minds open; I don't study or study, but I analyze and disassemble all the things in the codex, and then combine them according to my own situation.
Let me be clear to you, what is the Arcane Codex is an unformed theoretical book, a theoretical book that has not been put into practice, now you understand? You can't draw a gourd like that, and the guy who wrote this book is a half-man who was taken as a slave by a dragon, and the bones are still buried by my own hands; Now you should die! I also fought against the magic and laughed to death! β
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! The Arcane Codex is recorded in ancient books, and I have also used the Light of Life, which is obviously correct, so why do you say that it is just a theory? "Otham's psychological defenses have collapsed a bit.
Looking at Otham's unfocused pupils, my heart twitched, and I quickly changed my words to enlighten her:
"Forget it, I'll write it to you in its entirety! I don't know if the ancient book you mentioned records this "Arcane Codex", if it is this, it must be to comfort future generations and encourage future generations to use it;
The arcane laws recorded in the "Arcane Codex" are ideal magic for you, but if you understand magic thoroughly enough, you will understand that the arcane laws in the code need to be modified and supplemented, and they are not comprehensive, and they should be regarded as more of an analysis of divine magic;
I think that the person who wrote this code should have experienced the magic of the gods and the dragon magic of the dragon, and then analyzed and sorted it out according to the skills of these two powerful races, and then made up this codex, is it understandable? However, the reason why I can use it is because I have seen real magic and dragon magic, so it is not difficult to use! β
"My lord, have you ever seen a magic spell? Have you seen dragon magic too? Both asked, wide-eyed.
"Yes, do you want to see both of them? I can simulate it for you to see, and it should be of great help to you in learning this broken code. β
"Okay, okay!" Otam and Rebecca were in high spirits.
"However, I want to make up for the situation in the manor first, do you want to help me?"
Hearing my request, Otam immediately changed people, and said righteously:
"Rebecca, what code? Get out of the way! Help the adults understand the situation of the manor, this is the point! β
"Uh-huh, yes, yes! Where do you want to start, adult? Rebecca nodded in agreement.
I was amused by their actions, I didn't expect these two beauties who can turn people upside down to have such a side.
But he could only smile secretly in his heart, and his face was still very cooperative and kept serious: "First of all, what races are in the manor now?" How many people are there in each race? Are there any people who stand out? β
After listening to me, Rebecca replied like a few treasures:
"There are currently 102 female angels, 43 female elves, 55 female goblins, 63 female dwarves, 131 female dragon armor goblins, 36 female horses, 1 female vampire, 3 human women, 12 remnant human captives, a total of 446, and the Warcraft races are: 1 Storm Thunder Tiger King, 22 Griffins, 33 Shadow Leopards, 60 Cerberus, 184 Moon Demon Wolves, 76 Rolling Stone Beasts, 110 Fire Monitor Lizards, 67 Frost Giant Spiders, 13 Thunder Tigers, 26 Giant Eagles, There are 34 iron-backed war bears, 32 ironclad rhinoceros, 23 unicorns, 46 giant deer, and 65 giant horned antelopes, a total of 792 heads, which does not include the Demon Bull Beast, the Six-toothed Pig and the Iron Claw Chicken, there are 104 Demon Bull Beasts, 245 Six-toothed Pigs, and 564 Iron Claw Chickens. By the way, there is also an Earth Beast God! β
"So many? By the way, why are all the people of all races except Warcraft women? What about men? β
"Your Excellency, you don't know?"
"What should I know?" I looked at Rebecca quizzically.
"All kinds of people are slaves captured by demonic beasts from the sleeping mountains! Those who will hide in the sleeping mountains are all because they are abandoned or hunted down, and the men are either sacrificed to protect women, or because they abandoned women and ran away, so they are all women. β
"Huh? How could this happen? Is this the case on the mainland? I asked, puzzled.
"That's not it, only the Sleeping Mountains will be like this, there is not even a glimmer of hope that no race will be willing to run to the Sleeping Mountains to escape, this is too dangerous, the further you go inside, the more dangerous it becomes! A place as central as ours was inherently dangerous, and it was almost impossible for any race to set foot in it; Right? Mr. Otham! Rebecca spoke in a low tone.
"That's right, if you dare to come to such a place, you basically have to be a saint-level peak or a god-level powerhouse, otherwise there is basically no return, if it weren't for the adults to contain these demonic beasts here, I estimate that no strong person of any clan can get close to the manor within a hundred kilometers, and it would be a disaster for these demonic beasts to be released casually."
"Is that an exaggeration?" I was a little noncommittal about what they said, and although this was the second time I had heard Otam describe it, I still didn't believe it.
However, Rebecca also tried her best to prove the strength of the manor, and she said: "My lord, this is true, you may not be very clear about the level of these magical beasts, I can tell you about it. β
I was a little curious when Rebecca said this, so I agreed, "It's okay, I do want to know if these monsters are as powerful as you say!" β
So Rebecca began to gush again:
"Needless to say, let's start with Ling. Ling is absolutely unique in the history of griffins, and the lowest of the races it brought back is the royal griffin level, and a royal griffin is equivalent to the level of the advanced stage of human beings, if the holy level is level ten, then the lowest level of the advanced stage is also level eight;
And Ling's strength is definitely above the big cat, the strongest griffin that has ever appeared in history is the mount of the second generation of the Bright Pope, the Bright Gold Holy Griffin, the level assessment given by the mainland at the beginning is the high level of the holy level, that is, the complete body of the late stage of the holy level;
But there has never been a form like Ling, where the dragon scales and golden feather are also fiery eyes and fire tail lightning beaks, so Ling's level is definitely one order higher than the middle stage of the god level of the big cat, plus the griffin is an air and land demonic beast, if they are allowed to dispatch, the Bright Empire or any medium and large empire may not be able to beat them;
Let's talk about the Ice Rodent Giant Spider, this is a magical beast that has been notorious since ancient times, just one can go out and destroy a saint-level peak, if more than three go out, a god-level peak will die;
Then there is the three-headed dog of hell, my lord, the three-headed dog of hell that you originally treated with a broken tail is now also in the late stage of the holy level, and it will soon be able to enter a complete form, the terrible three-headed dog of hell is much greater than the frost giant spider, and it is said that this is a magical beast that even the gods are afraid of, it is a real hell dog, once a three-headed dog of hell evolves to the complete form of the holy level, it is equivalent to the middle stage of the god level, and it is more than enough to destroy a medium-sized empire with three god-level seats, whether these three gods are in the middle stage, or the peak is the same at all...... β
"Stop, stop! Why do I feel more and more fake, if it is really so powerful, then our manor is not invincible in the world? I don't want to hear this, let's talk about our material reserves now! Don't come back to the tension of last winter, how many seeds are left? It's time to sow seeds. "I'm a little rambling to say what I'm asking for.
"Well, since the adults don't believe it, then everything we say is in vain - Rebecca, in my case, you rest!"
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Otham!"
"My lord, we don't have to worry about grains and vegetables now, we have the vigorous cultivation of the elves and goblins, so the plants and seeds are sufficient, and they are enough for us to use for the time being; But the fields need to be reclaimed, and now there is not much land within the city walls, and there is a bit less meat and food, but fortunately, those monsters will hunt on their own, so they don't have to worry too much about it at the moment;
However, I suggest that we keep more animals in captivity, and we don't need to worry too much about the existing magic energy system for the time being, but it is not a long-term solution, once we go out, warm clothes are definitely not enough, and relying on the yield of ice rodent giant spiders and the harvested fur is tantamount to a drop in the bucket. β
"I've really ignored this question, we'll have to find the plants to weave the cloth......," I thought about answering Otham's description, but was immediately interrupted by her:
"My lord, we can't produce everything on our own estate, that would be a waste of time; There are some things that we can trade for, at least the much-needed items cannot be produced at the moment, we can only take our time, my suggestion is to go to the Empire of Light and the Empire of Shadows first to exchange for some necessities. β
After listening to Otam and Rebecca's account of the situation in the Behemoth Manor, I concluded that the current key problem in the manor was the lack of management talents, so I remembered that Rebecca's two sisters were still left in the manor, so I asked Rebecca:
"Rebecca, are your two sisters used to being here? Can you ask them to help manage some of the things on the estate? If you don't want to, it doesn't matter, you don't force them to stay in the manor, don't worry about the troublemakers, and let them go back! β
"No! My lord, Rebecca begs you not to chase them away, for they will die when they go back, and my father will not let them go!" β
I didn't expect Rebecca to be so excited, almost panicked, with deep fear in her voice.
"Okay, they are your sisters, you decide for yourself, there are so many people in our manor who are not inferior to the two of them, I just think it is inappropriate for you to always restrict them, so I asked; Actually, I prefer that they stay and help take care of the manor, so you don't have to work so hard! β
"Thank you, sir! Rebecca this is voluntary, not tired at all! β
"Okay, you're happy! It's getting late, so I'll be here today, let's go to dinner first, and I'll tell you about the Dharma tomorrow. β
I feel like I'm almost all I want to know today, and I don't know what the situation will be if I continue to talk, so I'll stop in moderation.
After walking out of Otam and Rebecca's suite, they went straight to find something to eat.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention that the first houses were temporary and conflicted with the plans of the Behemoth Manor, so Otham and Rebecca's original houses were demolished to make way for the vacant land, and they are now moving into the manor building of the Manor Castle just like me, and they all live in the fifth-floor suites like me.
