If it's just an ordinary building, you can build it directly on this cliff, and it's all stone, which is solid enough for the foundation, and even if you build a castle, you won't have any problem.

But it's not enough to be the foundation of a mage tower, and it's hilarious to think that one day someone digs a hole under the mage tower and makes the mage tower fall in.

Therefore, Kaichi needs to strengthen the foundation under the mage tower, so that magic cannot easily affect the foundation below.

In the excavated basement, Imu held a thick metal cylinder in his hand and compared it to the dot drawn by Jiayi, which looked like it was the thickness of a calf, and the upper line was full of runes, which seemed to have a strange beauty in it. The basement was dimly lit, and it suddenly looked like some cult figure.

"Kaichi, is this okay?" Im pressed the pillar against the dot that Kaichi had drawn, confirming to Kaichi.

Jia Yi walked over and carefully compared, then used the spell to calculate the precise direction, and nodded to Imu: "Yes, just go down here." ”

Hearing Jiayi's words, Imu urged the magic power, and a burst of light immediately appeared on the pillar, and all the runes were activated, and then the stone at the bottom of the pillar was like butter, and the pillar was like a hot iron bar, which was easily inserted and extended to the bottom.

The top of the pillar went all the way to the ground, and Imu retracted his magic, and the light on the pillar dimmed, embedded in the ground, and looked like a floor tile, and when touched by hand, the seams with the surrounding stones could barely be felt.

Seeing that Imu was still looking at the pillar that had just been installed with some suspicion, Kaichi walked over and said: "This is a skill I learned from the depths of the academy library, called the Ground Pillar, after all the installation is completed, the entire mountain can be condensed together, if you want to use spells to break the foundation of the Mage Tower, you need to break the elemental pool to succeed, or you can directly level this mountain bag." ”

"But the cost of this pillar is a bit too high. Imu sighed.

In order to make these pillars, Jiayi used up almost all the good materials that Yimu had saved, and the almond alone used up hundreds of catties, and even used up a piece of copper crystal, which made Yimu feel distressed.

Copper crystal is the crystallization of copper, very rare, generally speaking, metal is not like crystal diamonds these things can become crystals, but under a series of harsh effects such as strong magic pressure, it can become a metal crystal, the properties will become very different, very precious and rare.

It's much more valuable than diamonds.

Even so, Jiayi is still insufficient, and feels that the material is not good enough, but this is already the most suitable material for himself that Jiayi can think of.

A series of eight pillars were installed in the basement, and eight more were installed in other parts of the hill, one of which was installed next to the spring.

Once these pillars have been installed and the foundation is completed, all that remains is to build an elemental pool to connect the pillars.

It's just that Jiayi doesn't have any materials for the time being, and his materials have been made a list and purchased through Valoka's branch in Wickham City, but now the transportation is inconvenient, and it will take a lot of time for the materials to be transported.

Because of this snow, it began to fall again.

The snow cover on the road was now even worse, and the town was completely cut off from the outside traffic, but fortunately, the viscount had prepared in advance, and brought back a lot of food from his own manor, the manor of his knights, and the village below. At the same time, several surrounding hills were opened for people to go in and chop wood.

The hills in the territory are the private property of the nobles, without the permission of the lord's mansion, the villagers are not allowed to go into it to collect firewood, usually the firewood in the town is in the lord's open hills to beat out, and the firewood has to pay taxes. Now because there is not much firewood in the town, and the consumption has become larger, the lord has opened more places for people to collect firewood, and the tax on cutting firewood has been abolished, just to let people supply more firewood to the town.

So although the town is a little less prosperous now, there is nothing wrong with it.

Fortunately, Flower took advantage of the snow to build houses for the poor in the West End, and most of the people who still live in the West End have moved to new homes, although the move was a bit hasty, but it was just right, after the second heavy snowfall, many houses in the West End collapsed, and even the roofs of houses in other areas were crushed.

It's just that this is only a rough overall state after all, if you pay attention, you can still see that there will always be people freezing to death every few days, especially the elderly, not all families can have enough heating measures, and they may not be able to buy enough firewood to keep warm.

Although there is the suppression of the lord's mansion, but now the price of grain and firewood is still rising all the way, and the lord's mansion cannot blindly suppress it, even the price of bread in the Jia family has risen a lot, and now it has begun to be supplied in limited quantities, and everyone can't buy more.

Because Gary let Jia Yi store a lot of food in advance, the cost of Jia family's bread is relatively low, although the price has also risen, but it is not too outrageous, in comparison, it is slightly more cost-effective to buy Jia family's bread.

If Gary is open to supply, I am afraid that it will not be long before all the food in the Jia family will be completely bought.

......

In order to ensure the stability of the territory, the lord's mansion recruited a lot of militia and mixed them with the original town's guards to strengthen patrols.

Although the last rebellion was extinguished quickly, the grain transport team that went out was still attacked, and the losses were not small.

Although theoretically no one should have come to confront the viscount after the clerk's death, the viscount did not dare to take any more risks now.

As soon as he walked near his home, he suddenly saw Flower leading a team of people to clear the snow on the street and clear the street.

Jia Yi stepped forward to greet him: "Flower, why did you run to the street to clear the snow?" ”

This shouldn't be a mistake and being punished by the viscount.

Flower raised his head, saw that it was Jiayi, and quickly stood up, stood up with the wooden shovel in his hand, and said with a smile: "How is the construction of the mage tower in the valley? You know that the people of the West District have no financial resources to live now, so I organized them, provided them with two meals and firewood for heating, let them go to the streets to help clear the snow, and repair the roofs for people, and collect a certain fee to maintain them." ”

Flower organized these people to build a house outside the city, but after the house was built, it was not disbanded, and the snow fell again, and Flower did not let these people disband or be idle, and began to organize these people to start clearing snow in the town to ensure the smooth flow of the town.

In addition to these, Flower also took on some projects, such as repairing roofs, repairing collapsed houses, and pulling up a primitive engineering team. Although the benefits are not large, organizing these people so that they do not have nothing to do is also eliminating a security risk.

However, they only swept the main streets of the town, and the snow in front of each house had to be dealt with by themselves, and now the snow outside was more than a foot (30 centimeters) thick, and because of the people organized by Flower, the town was relatively clear.

The viscount originally handed over these people to the management of Flower just to train him, but he didn't expect Flower to do a good job and solve a lot of trouble for the town.

Flower not only stands by and commands, but also helps to clear the snow together, and he consciously manages these people semi-militarized, and these people are very respectful to Flower.

The two chatted for a while, and Kaichi wanted to say that if he sprinkled some salt on the street, he could stop the snow, but considering the preciousness of salt now, he didn't say such a stupid thing.

Even if Cybercollar is a salt-producing land, it is not extravagant enough to use salt to sprinkle it on the ground, and it is still cheaper to use labor in comparison.
