It's not over

Damn, the back is still not sorted out

β€”β€”

The future is bright, and the road is wide. (To read the latest chapters of this book, please visit the biquge.info of Wèn Aishang Novel Network)

It's just that there are a lot of toll booths on this road......

First of all, it is the sensitive process of the magic net, and Edward himself has little experience and ability to test these things.

"Half-elves are born with the agility and flexibility of elves, not only are they excellent marksmen, but in melee combat, the attack method of the thin stabbing sword is also extremely deadly...... There are several counties and provinces in the south of the empire that specialize in training half-elves as armies, especially since they have a long lifespan and a much longer service time. But if you really need a mage, I suggest you hire one or two young and promising mages. ”

Looking at the young lord, gently tapping on the parchment, the word mage, Miss Anna Su on the side couldn't help but speak: "If you want to train in a half-elf, you can teach some people to use magic devices, but I don't think you can train a qualified mage like this." If they are religious, it is okay to raise some pastors. ”

Edward shook his head.

Although the priest can also build a magic circle, it has something to do with divine power, and he doesn't want to use their power for the defense of his own lair.

In other words, because of the previous actions of the Lord of Dawn, he was extremely vigilant against all kinds of divine sticks - if another god appeared next to him to spy on him, it was really impossible to prevent it.

Of course, he would not say such a defense.

"You may already be a powerful mage yourself, but don't you know. How hard is it to train someone who has no talent to become a mage?"

Edward's silence didn't seem to make the staff lady stop thinking: "We have also considered cultivating a group of mages, but in the end, we can only do it slowly - the possibility of mages becoming talented is too low. And after completing their studies, it is difficult to control their behavior, so the large amount of money spent at the beginning seems to have been wasted. ”

"Well, that's the easiest, and the point is, at least they have to be taught dragon and elven languages, because most of the magic is written in these two languages. It's not that the magic of the lingua franca is impossible, but there are many magical words that the pronunciation of the lingua franca can't do. But these two languages are inherently complex...... You've studied this stuff yourself, don't you know?"

Edward shook his head. Although he himself has worked hard to learn magic, he really hasn't put too much effort into this area - nothing more than pronunciation and gestures, in short, he just learns it word for word according to the original pronunciation and movements, what's the problem? As for contacting the magic network...... His own level of sensitivity is considered incompetent by most mages. At the beginning, it only took ten days to use the induction magic net, and it shouldn't be too difficult to pick one of these guys and find out better than him, right?

As for the level that can be reached in the future...... In fact, when it came to cultivating spellcasters, he never thought of going the so-called 'normal route'. High-level spells are good. But it doesn't have to be used, as a city defense force. In addition to sabotage, it only needs to be simply assisted. As long as it is used correctly, the brute force technique that a low-level apprentice casts on his companion will not necessarily be inferior to the fireball technique of a full-fledged mage, and there is no danger of destroying the environment.

Of course, the literacy rate in this plane is too low, which is indeed a problem, at least more than ninety percent of the people on the mainland are illiterate, although the grammar of the lingua franca is relatively simple, and the spelling of the text is still a problem.

But priests and mercenaries can be teachers, and some bards can teach children to read...... But the most critical question is......

Membership, right?

Psychic warlocks certainly understand the process of so-called civilization...... How critical is the carrier.

The paper-making technology of this world is really not excellent - in fact, to be precise, there is no paper in the real sense of the word, and the usual ones used to copy the text are made of nitrated sheepskin, so they are all quite thick things, usually made very large for the area, even more than half a person high, but only more than a hundred pages thick, but still almost as heavy as half a stone brick, which is really not conducive to the spread of culture.

Moreover, not only is it cumbersome, but above all it is expensiveβ€”at least a few sheepskins are used up for a book, and the sheep that produce these sheepskins are not something that can be produced on a large scale, and some regions have begun to use coarse papyrus, but it is inconvenient to preserve and the place of origin also limits production, so that the use of writing has always been limited to those who have the economic power or are particularly in need of cultural transmission.

But for Edward, it wasn't a problem for him to break down that barrier.

The paper thing is nothing more than breaking wood into pulp, boiling it in a pot with water, soaking it out, then brushing a layer on the gauze and drying it...... Although Edward didn't know the fine parts, since it was the Western Han Dynasty, it could be made by hand, so there must not be too difficult joints, even rough and thick paper is much lighter than sheepskin, as for bleaching...... It seems that lime is fine, although it is said to be a little yellowish.

In fact, it is not a problem for this thing to be gray or white, it is enough to be able to print words. As for printing, it's even simpler, get a piece of wood to carve out a plate, anyway, it is also a beginner's book for literacy, and the printing doesn't need to be very fine.

In addition to this, paper can also be used to wrap gunpowder and can also be used to ......

All the thoughts seem to be very smooth.

The Psychic Warlock had just thought so proudly...... Trouble came unexpectedly from the side of the gate.

The reason is that the young lord, who has just given an order casually.

"I said, Edward, we don't have much food, and if we eat like this for another seven or eight days, we will be almost exhausted. Miss Lisa pushed the door open and complained loudly, "You'd better find a way." ”

"What's the matter? Didn't the first batch of food be rationed according to a month's ration? Even if there were a few more people, it wouldn't have been consumed so quickly. It's only been a week, no, it's less than seven days, isn't it?"

"I'm just going to tell you this, damn bastards. I have wasted a lot of food in the village before, and besides, the method of eating food you promulgated is really wasteful, do you know? Let these people eat freely with their bellies open, and they have to grind the flour finely, how can they be counted!"

So the lord's smile was a little helpless.

Most of the food eaten by the people at the bottom of this world is black bread, which is generally baked with wheat flour mixed with a large amount of bran. In fact, in Edward's opinion, such a thing that is not even fully fermented is worthy of the word bread. And closer to ...... Well, in fact, whether it is the bread or the biscuit in his impression, it is a hundred times stronger than these things.

In fact, as a former resident of the glorious foodie country. Edward had always put up with the casual attitude of most people in this world towards eating.

When the roughly processed wheat flour is put in a bowl, they add some hot water to make a wheat paste, and then they eat it every day. Most of the brown bread was also boiled in this way, if there were wild vegetables and meat. It is also to pour all these things into the pot and simmer them with wheat paste...... In short, most of their three meals a day were sticky, and in Edward's opinion, they were pigs!

This kind of thing can only be used to satisfy the stomach. In the Cutie Dehua project, they have to rely on them to complete a lot of heavy work...... Those scrawny guys simply can't do it. So start with the first meal. Edward had already ordered all civilians in the territory that all food must be refined. It is not baked into bread, but also baked into cakes, with garnishes and spices, for which he specially made several plates of stone mills to grind the flour. Of course, this was in exchange for unanimous gratitude, and the farmers who had not seen fine grains for many years had no other reaction than kowtow, and even the half-elves who often mingled in the city also suffered from the problem of tears streaming down their faces when eating.

But the direct consequence of this is that the projected grain is greatly reduced, after all, there is no way to count such a thing as bran in food.

As for why Miss Half-Elf came to complain at this time, the cause was the problem of the captives.

The knights had been captured by the hapless Viscount, and the Viscount had been honorably taken prisoner, but Edward had no interest in raising such a bunch of idle food. It just so happened that the farmer didn't have enough manpower - although the civil lyre could greatly reduce the amount of labor, the trees used to build the house had to be cut down.

Therefore......

There are more than 200 big men in the territory to help - work hard and reform, and strive to be a new person.

But in this way, the food must be even more scarce, and these fellows seem to be full-time soldiers, strong in body, but they are by no means comparable to ordinary farmers in eating and drinking.

But Edward didn't care much - even if the purchase of grain was indeed a big head, his capital, even if he raised 2,000 people to death, was not a big problem. Faced with the little lady's complaints, he just raised his eyebrows,

"What are you stingy with at this time? It's not that you don't have money. ”

"The problem is, money can't buy it!

That relaxed expression made Miss Half-Elf explode all at once.

Bringing her mouth to his ear, she yelled in dissatisfaction.

"What's going on?"

"A large amount of food purchases need to be proven, no matter what identity it is, it can't be bought casually, if we have acquaintances with the city lord or something, it's okay, but it's not easy to buy in a place near Romandy. Miss Half-Elf sat bored on the stone table and flipped through a knight's biography: "Because those idiots in the empire have nothing to wage any war, now His Majesty the King has announced that food control will be carried out, and all food must be given priority to meet military rations, and those big families are also taking the opportunity to squeeze their pockets, at least in the vicinity of Romanty, no one has a large amount of stock on hand, and we don't have enough food production points on the original trade route." This batch was specially obtained, and it turned out that you were so wasteful!"

"Hmm, don't you eat the pie when I bake it?"

However, teasing and laughing, Edward still had to frown next - it is common knowledge that the grain production in this plane has always been low, and most farmers only produce enough food to eat half of their own families. Thanks to the help of the magicians, most of the production areas of Tuminis still have good production. However, food itself is the most scarce material, and each family will only strictly control the surplus, and it took a lot of effort to meet the shortage of food in Poplar Town.

He had thought that it was just the norm in Xifengyi. But now it seems that this virtue is everywhere.

"And the half-breeds have their own business, so it's impossible to put all the money here...... Now the only one who can inject money into this place is my father. The little girl pouted: "The Chamber of Commerce suffered a lot of losses last time, money is a trivial matter, the key is that after making a fuss, many human helpers and shopkeepers began to make trouble because they were afraid of death, although their salaries were raised." There are still some of them who have quit, and the number of apprentices of the half-elves is not very sufficient, so many things have been affected. Skillfully shopkeeper is not just a helper, but also a source of goods, damn ......"

What's more important is to defend the circle.

The magic technology available in the world today is enough to create all kinds of magical items...... Edward had seen a lot, and he had a few on him. So as far as he knew, the so-called magic items were logically speaking. It's just a matter of attaching spells to certain objects. Nothing new.

But when it comes to the magic circle, this matter is extremely troublesome.

With the power of the earth element, the carving of the runes of the circle is not a problem, as long as Edward gathers his spirit. The land around the city can be transformed into carved stone slabs at any time, even down to the thickness of steel pins. Even though the entire circle is full of overlapping runes and enchantments, it is delicately and flawlessly fitted. They are related to each other and complement each other. It's not that difficult.

But here's the thing. Each of these key nodes that make up the magic circle must be operated by the caster himself, and the power to import the magic net must be introduced, and the connected magic circle is not yet

Runes, enchantments and magic arrays, this is the professional scope of the spell school, Edward is not confused at all, in fact, even the old dwarf he is responsible for teaching him is the change system, and he is not very proficient in this aspect, to say that among the people Edward knows, the most proficient in the five aspects is only the dean of the magic school, ** Master Hawking- The entire Academy of Spells is itself a dimensional space and a museum of various defensive magic arrays, and it is rumored that at least more than half of these things are the handiwork of this dean, who is the first person on this continent in terms of spell school.

Well, if this master is willing to help, then it will be effortless to build a magic circle on Edward's small territory, maybe it will be completed in a backhand.

But Edward's train of thought was just a twist on the name - who knows what the price would have to be paid to ask such a depositor to help? He wasn't the old fellow's own son, not even an apprentice, let him help?

"Well, territory, that kind of thing, can't you just find someone to manage it, what's the point of wasting time on it?"

"Now, it's already certain it's him, right?" the unconcerned look on the gnome's face made the tall mage frown.

"Ah, yes, it should be. ”

"So, what are you going to do?Seal?" Master Hawking snorted.

"I'm not as crazy as those wands, it's one of the highest masterpieces of magic, and the seal is a waste. The old dwarf remained unconcerned, his fingers fluttering deftly, carving runes into a piece of metal.

"You want to pamper him? Or, don't you tell me you suddenly want that thing?"

"It's just scraps, not worth much, as far as I want...... Hehe, don't you know? If I wanted to, I could have found it fifty years ago, and I would have used it again to suddenly join forces at this time?" the old dwarf narrowed his eyes: "None of the arcanists can successfully control the thing, how can we magicians? If I am interested, I am more interested in what is behind it." ”

"You mean, that door?" the tall mage shook his head, "There is too much scum mixed in the legend, and this may not be true. ”

"There is never just one person who guards this key in the record, and most of the keepers have only maintained a very short period of hegemony throughout their lives, and they don't even know their mission, how can you believe that this kid can get his hands on that amazing secret?" Albert smiled.

"No, I'm not sure, old friend, but I don't want to take a little risk, you should know that the consequences of that failure could be the whole world. ”

"You're still just as timid, no, I mean, cautious. Since no one has been able to accomplish his mission for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, so many and one is not less, what if we take care of him? We do not lack this ethereal power, why not wait and see if the result is the same as one of those legends," Albert said:

"As for this little ghost, I do think about him, at least in terms of intelligence, he has a part that others don't have. He wasn't that stupid and would be seduced by that power, and this time, the answer he gave me was also very satisfying, quite satisfying. ”

"If you hadn't been involved, I'm afraid Illyria would have disappeared from the continent this time......!
