Meow, it's a little worse again,...... I'm sorry

I'll change it right away...... )――

"I really didn't say it......"

Squinting his eyes and gently fiddling with the amulet in his hand, Edward couldn't help but sigh......

It's a beautiful cross-shaped piece of metal, and of course, there is no god named Yahweh in this world, so it's not a simple cross, but something close to a combination of four pyramids. Subtle magic engravings and runes wrap around it, creating an abundance of energy, and tiny dots of light spread out like fireflies, enveloping the entire rune.

Constant spell items.

Magical items are simply things that attach the effects of magic to a single thing. But to say that it is complicated and extremely complicated, not only because the classification of the additional spell effects above is cumbersome and varied, but also the way of attaching them is very different - the simplest is to store the effect of the magic and release it when needed, the representative of which is the magic wand and the like, but the spell in it has a number of uses, that is to say, it is a one-time thing, and the relative value is much lower.

These things are called magic storage items, compared to them, another type of law items, the effect is much better, although most of these things can only be used a few times a day, and they have to be injected with some spiritual power when they are used, if they are not non-masters, they must be trained to use them, but they can be used repeatedly, which is equivalent to increasing a person's ability to cast spells several times, so it is extremely popular, but the price is also much higher

And this thing from the hands of the 'Prince'. But it's a high-grade constant-and-magic item - no matter what the ability is, as long as you wear it, it will work, in fact, Edward found a villager to bring this necklace. Then he tried to use his psychic abilities to control him, only to surprise him...... Even the four-ring ability couldn't penetrate that wonderful force field protection, let alone any other charm or psychic blast, and the mind was stabbed.

Found a treasure......

But this result also made the psychic warlock secretly vigilant in his heart - if it was not an ordinary person who carried this thing, but a dangerous enemy, his own strength would obviously be greatly reduced. This is indeed something that cannot be prevented. Especially, if you carry something like that...... It's the words of his enemies.

That psychic warrior is also a psychic user, so she knows something about this kind of thing, right? If she had something like that, let alone face each other and attack each other. Even if it is a few abilities of the Psychic Prophecy Department, if you want to guard against her, they may not be able to help. Even if she didn't get such a constant law item, it only needed to block his perception for a while. It's enough to cause a lot of trouble.

If he didn't rely on psychic abilities, Edward wouldn't be sure, and he could use the three-legged cat's swordsmanship to deal with the opponent, not to mention that the opponent still had a calculus or not. A bunch of means can be applied.

"There's no point in worrying about it, if I were you. Let's start first. The Sentry minion crawled out of its nest and slipped into the Psimancer's hood. didn't forget to sneer disdainfully: "Since you already know that someone is watching you, just find her out and kill her, don't tell me that it's hard for you, it's just a matter of whether you want to do it." ”

"You know I've tried, but I can't find her place, and I can't sense it unless I get a part of her body, isn't that what you said?" Edward pursed his lips and snapped a soft clink from his fingers on the little thing, "If she hadn't had an accomplice, I would have let her run away before?"

"It's a shame that a psychic warlock would have no way to take an inferior psionic user like a psychic warrior. The Spirit Crystal servant sneered, "Okay, anyway, the things are in hand, so, when are you going to leave for the Dark Regions?"

The question caused Edward to reach out and gently stroke his chin.

When it comes to adventure, he's far more familiar with it than this unscrupulous pet...... But because of this, he still had no idea of leaving.

For adventurers, there is never too much work to prepare.

First of all, there is the manpower.

Although he is not one of those explorers who is hungry for profit...... Well, at least this time it's not about that. So some kind of scout, such as a wanderer, a thief, or a treasure hunter, Edward was not in the mood to find - in fact, if it was just a scout who wanted to explore underground, he himself was enough to make a cameo.

As for the priests, they are the most generous in terms of manpower, and Dahni, who is in charge of leading the way, is a good priest herself, so Lisa naturally needs to be said, and if necessary, one or two more can be transferred from the Dark Lady's church.

On the warrior side, there are dwarf Baroque, half-elf Meliane and Claudia are actually enough, after all, the enemies in the dark region are powerful, and their responsibility is to delay time for the spellcaster, and they don't need to be too strong, in fact, Edward even considered bringing only the Baroque who is familiar with the underground and Claudia, who is the most capable, as for Meliane, from his recent appearance, his ability is actually more focused on combat command, and the underground environment is complex, and there are not so many places where the strength of this magic archer can really be played。

Thinking about it this way, it seems that it should be enough, right?

But if you run into a figure of the level of the thinker Katzejek...... Don't doubt it, this time he is afraid that he will at least go deeper than a hundred miles from the surface, where even the city of the Mind Flayer can be seen everywhere, and a high-level spirit sucking monster is really nothing.

"Stone. Edward held out his hand, and with a slight ripple on the ground, a small red crimson thing jumped out from under his feet. "If you drill down and find a passage into the ground, how long will it take?" he asked.

"Going underground, to be exact, if you're going down, it's going to take me about fifty to sixty days and nights to build up energy. The earth elemental creature rumbled: "But that is only limited to a place within fifty miles, and if it is deeper, it can be, but it will take time." It had to be doubled every dozen or so miles, because the further down it went, the harder it was to change the tight rock structure, and if you wanted to touch the Slaughter City, which was so powerful in the elements. That passage would have required at least a hundred miles of depth.

So Edward thought about it for a while, and finally gave up on this seemingly simple solution - after all, he was not interested in opening a pipe under his residence to the deep dark region, wouldn't that be the same as putting himself on top of a powder keg?

The world is bustling, all for profit. The world is crowded, all for the sake of profit...... You have nothing here, how can anyone come to you, and if no one comes, there is no circulation, and the production of one place is used to feed everyone. How is it possible to be all-encompassing? It is strange not to be poor!

But we really don't have anything to attract here......

I see a lot of it.

To a native Burgundian, or even to those within a hundred miles of the surrounding area, this area is a representative of barrenness. Not only is there nothing worth selling. There was only wood, stone, and a pitiful amount of food.

But the young lord told them the truth, which was not right......

The mountains and forests are not only woody. You see. The woods are home to countless herbs, animal skins, and all sorts of high-end furniture. All we have to do is encourage civilians to take them out. ”

In fact. Because of the blockage of the road, the relationship with horse thieves and robbers. These furs and timber have not been purchased on a large scale. So people don't have a lot of enthusiasm to produce these things. Edward continued, "But I tell you, you only need a qualified tailor and carpenter, and these furs and hardwoods can be made into furs and furs of great value. And these are the favorites of the nobles who love luxury. ”

As for the biggest obstacle here, the bandits. However, fortunately, Edward's half-elves just need to practice their hands, although Edward has not participated in the suppression of bandits these days, but Meliane and Baroque are playing happily with the team, although they are only a team of less than fifty people, but there are five or six priests with the team, and they are good at bows and arrows,

A good walnut bookcase can be sold for two hundred gold coins in the emperor, and such wood, people here use it as firewood, and a turquoise statue of the god can be sold for at least ten times the price of the bookshelf, and all that is needed is someone to mine it and a craftsman for half a month's work.

Well, if you want, a mage can actually produce a finished product in a matter of minutes, but Edward is not in the mood to let mages compete with civilians for profit

However, without too much scattered probing, the earth elemental creatures connected to the ground, and drew the direction of the branches of several nearby mineral deposits. However, there are really no large veins in this area, and the only one in the shallow strata that is slightly richer is a poor iron ore, which is very low in production and not very good in quality. As for the deep ...... According to the mining technology in this world, it would take at least a thousand people to dig to such a deep place as underground for a year or two, and there must be worries about landslides, lack of oxygen, and the like, and even if Edward had a way to solve it, he was not interested in following the argument - it was a little more reliable to buy iron ore or finished products directly.

There are indeed a lot of quarries with a little value, although they are not valuable gem veins, but the high-quality granite is enough, and there are woods that can't be burned to the end......

Hans reached out and pulled out a stack of papers from his bosom, flipped it and reported in a loud voice: "A hundred and forty carpenters, five stonemasons, and three blacksmiths. Sir, we don't produce iron here, so there aren't too many blacksmiths, only farm tools and horseshoes. I'm the only one who's ever crafted weapons and armor. ”

"What do stonemasons do?" Edward's heart moved.

It's all rough work of knocking stones and building foundations. Actually, this job is not very demanding, and if you need it, sir, those slaves can do it with some iron chisels or something.

"They're all masons, right? You go and see if there is anyone who is good at real carving, not only stone, but also wood, and it is better to know how to draw,"

The number of people in the city has exceeded 10,000, nearly 20,000, and most of them were originally residents of Sigma City. After being dismissed, fled in this direction...... Then, to my surprise, there is indeed a city called Burgundy.

All right. There is a city that does not surprise these refugees too much, and what makes them delicate is that here, with a simple registration, they can become a member of the city. And the city provides free food to all citizens,

If that's not a big deal, then the food served is still the best bread. grain, and even game broth. Even the houses were distributed according to the number of people after they were built...... This is for these people who have been struggling with the oppression of their lords for a long time and are now homeless. What an unimaginable gospel for the gods!

Even if you have to do free voluntary labor if you live here, and this kind of free work will not last forever, it is enough to give these people who can barely live to see hope, and even the life of their dreams.

Settling here is a matter of course.

Not only that, but such a good deed will naturally be widely spread to some relatives...... Therefore, within a few days, within a few tens of miles nearby, some poor people who could not survive, and even the middle class, were also called, and this momentum is still increasing.

Now in Burgundy, the manpower for cutting down trees to build houses is almost saturated, and the remaining manpower is beginning to disperse to the surrounding mountains to assist the giants in cultivating the fields.

This is not the kind of farming that most people are used to...... This kind of thing, which the lord called terraces, was a real innovation for the farmer, and the steep slopes that could only be used for grazing or simply useless were bulldozed directly into a place of one step, and although it was not a pleasant endless place like flat land, it also greatly expanded the area of farmland that could be used.

In this world, most farmers are familiar with the cultivation method, which is to dig a few furrows and ravines in the ground, and then cover the soil, water, weed, and catch insects is the most delicate care method they can think of, but the method ordered by the lord is so complicated that the oldest farmer is dumbfounded

What deep and shallow ploughing, ridges, ditches, watering waterways, lime to kill insects...... They also couldn't understand the method of gathering the excrement of the whole city and burying it in the ground.

It is said that only when the city is defended, it is gathered together, boiled and sprinkled on the enemy, and the vicious wounds caused by this will immediately fester, and it will be extremely difficult to cure, but now it will be put into the ground...... Can the fields really be used to grow food? It won't turn into highly poisonous grass or something, right? Will it die of rotting stomach after eating?

The carpenters and apprentices were busy making strange things, huge wooden wheels with buckets on them, and at first no one knew what they were used for, but when the first one was erected and began to turn to carry the water from the pond on the ground to the heights, the farmers cheered.

And the farm implements, hoes, sickles, flails, and the like that were distributed to every farmer, were all made of fine steel...... In fact, this kind of thing actually costs a few silver coins, and few farmers on the mainland will have the luxury of this kind of thing, in fact, most farmers or tenants can have a handful of iron-clad things in their hands, which is already a very good thing.

There is only one river nearby, which is originally abundant, but it is too little to sustain nearly 20,000 people, and although the underground water is abundant and a few wells can solve the problem, in the long run, it may not be able to support it for decades.

Magic, which has always been more naturally exclusive to civilians than the knighthood, has always been chosen to ignore the barriers of identity......

Need the support of gold coins and systematic education, need to buy magic books and materials through special channels, and need at least one teacher who can solve puzzles, all of which are discouraged even by some wealthy civilian families, and once you become a magician, it is an incalculable key is that the return is full of risky pay, the price is directly proportional to the quality of the material, all kinds of inexplicable but indispensable magic materials, no matter how cheap it is, it also needs nearly a hundred Caesar gold coins to start the magic staff, there will always be one reason after another to burn money to give magicians who choose this path a headacheIt is true that the kingdom values and treats magicians well, but most of the expenses still need to be borne by the magicians themselves, especially those who are not outstanding in talent, this is a steep pyramid that is more difficult to stand on the higher you climb, and the characters who can finally stand in a towering position are a small number of lucky ones after all. (To be continued......)
