Chapter 222 Territorial Development (1/4)
When he arrived in the territory, Link saw two familiar figures, whom he hadn't seen for many days, and he was surrounded by the cute little girl Lef.
Ellet also saw Link, but was shocked by the giant tiger he was riding, and did not dare to step forward for a moment. Doras looked at him, bared his teeth, and hummed disdainfully: "Coward."
After Link came down from his back, it held its head up and walked towards its shack with graceful steps.
Well, there are many strangers today, and he wants to be a little cold.
On this side, Link smiled and greeted Ellet. When he got closer, he patted him on the back enthusiastically: "Why are you free here this time?"
Last time I heard that Link controlled level 9 magic and defeated the great demon Taroves, Ellet seemed to be greatly inspired. After returning to the Magic Tower, he went crazy and started to learn magic. He usually didn't go out easily, and his madness was comparable to Link before.
Ellet smiled, pointed to the huge puppet next to him, and pulled Lefu next to him, and said with a smile: "I heard that you spent 15,000 gold coins to customize such a big guy from the academy, so I came here to join in the fun. Lefu also wanted to meet her mentor, so I brought her too."
Lefu walked forward, saluted Link seriously, and called him the tutor.
For this disciple, Link basically let her learn by herself, or she would entrust her to Virola to teach. He didn't have much time to teach himself. He felt a little guilty, and patted Lefu's head gently and said with a smile: "Then stay here for a few months this time. Don't rush back. I'm going to build a magic tower, so you can have a long experience."
"Okay." Lev was a little worried before that Link was too busy and had no time. Now that he was allowed, he immediately let go of his worries and smiled sweetly.
"Go and have fun now." Link patted the girl on the shoulder, and the girl began to wander around the Scorched Earth Ridge Camp. Well, there are many novel things in this place, such as the talking big cat, which is very interesting.
Ellet looked at the scorched earth ridge, turned to look at Link, and sighed: "After becoming a lord, you are obviously the same age as me, but you look much more mature than me and more majestic."
Link laughed: "These things are just appearances, they are nothing important. Come on, let me see this plowing puppet."
He walked around the puppet and observed the details carefully.
This puppet is five meters tall, with a human-shaped upper body, two huge iron plows form the lower body, and the body is made of anti-magic clay. The texture looks a bit like ceramic. Its surface is painted with a large amount of magic patterns. A huge intermediate magic crystal is inlaid on the puppet’s chest, which is a magic hub.
Link looked carefully little by little, nodding, and sometimes frowned slightly. This puppet basically met the requirements, but the workmanship was not very fine. Link had obsessive-compulsive disorder, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. However, he also knew that there was no need for such engineering puppets to be too fine, so he endured this dissatisfaction.
The magic apprentice who was responsible for delivering goods said, "This tillage puppet can open the soil 1.5 meters deep. As long as the magic energy supply is constantly supplied, it can operate for 24 hours continuously, and it can operate for at least one year."
Link listened carefully and then asked, "How efficient is it?"
"In the case of the Field Wilderness, if it is a plain with gentle terrain, it can plow 100 acres of land in 24 hours. If it is a slope, it will also be more than 80 acres."
100 acres in 24 hours, 3,000 acres per month, and the idea is 36,000 acres. It sounds pretty good, but judging from the situation in the Field Wilderness, this is still slow.
Link decided to look at the situation of the puppet first, and if the effect is good, he would order a few more units.
Finally, he said to the magic apprentice who was responsible for delivery: "I meet my requirements and thank Master Vosminlun for helping me with a big problem."
This is an intermediate magic apprentice. Judging from his magical aura and dress, he should be the lowest-level figure in the academy. He gave Link a mage ceremony and said extremely respectfully: "It is our honor to be able to solve the trouble for the master. Since the master is satisfied, I will go back."
Link hurriedly said, "Wait first, I am going to build a large magic tower in my territory. In terms of finance, I have also prepared it. Please bring this news back to the East Valley."
Although the old lich Waynes suggested that Link let the high elves build magic towers, he had the idea of a pure scholar, and Link, as a lord, could not do so.
Because he was born in Donggu and had a high reputation in Donggu, he was also a candidate for dean. At this time, he wanted to build a magic tower, but went to ask outsiders for help, and Donggu's face was gone.
This is unreasonable in terms of love, and his relationship with Donggu Academy is very likely to fade away.
That's really a matter of picking up corn and losing watermelon. It's not a good deal.
But the high-elf magic has a deep foundation and a high level, so what should I do?
Link’s idea was to ask East Valley Academy to help build the main body and infrastructure of a large magic tower, but leave a lot of room for functional expansion. In the future, if you have the opportunity, find a reason that everyone can live on their faces and ask the high elves for help reasonably.
This is the means of a mature lord.
On this side, when he heard that Link was going to build a magic tower, it was still large. A deep envy flashed in the magic apprentice's eyes, and Ellet, who was beside him, also looked yearning.
The magic tower is still large, and how many magicians have dreamed for a lifetime.
"Don't worry, I will bring this news back to the college immediately."
"Well, this is your reward." Link handed over a purse.
The apprentice took the purse and felt his hand sinking. He knew that there were at least 20 gold coins in it, which was worth the income he had worked hard in the magic tower for a month. This made him very happy. After thanking Link, he did not rest and rushed back to the East Valley Magic Academy.
On this side, Link said to a guard: "Go and call the magic affairs officer Carido."
"Yes, sir." The guard turned around and ran to shout.
After a while, Carido trotted over.
Link pointed to the puppet and said, "This is the puppet. The depth of the puppet is 1.3 meters deep, and the operation is very simple. Take it to the flat ground south of the scorched earth ridge to test the effect."
"No problem." Carido walked around the puppet and had a simple understanding of the puppet's performance. Then he activated the puppet and took the big guy away.
After this arrangement, Link was free and said to Ellet, who was on the side: "I'm so sorry, I've asked you to wait for a long time. Let's go to the wooden house and talk."
Ellet smiled: "It's okay, you're so busy in the academy, I'm used to it."
The two walked and chatted. After walking for a while, Ellet suddenly saw a black-haired woman with extremely unique temperament walking out of a wooden house, and said slightly surprised: "Who is that woman?"
Celine is nominally Link's apprentice, but her peerless appearance and unique temperament stand among ordinary people, she is completely outstanding. As long as she appears, she will be noticed immediately.
With the disguised pendant there, Link was not worried that Ellet would notice Celine's abnormality, and smiled naturally: "Her name is Celine Fran, it's mine... good friend, learn some magic from me."
"Okay...friend?" Ellet was stunned. Then he saw Link's gaze and suddenly realized in his heart that he thought that he was not interested in women, but he had never met the right person before.
"Haha, I understand." Ellet didn't ask much, and continued with Link's previous magic topic.
When he arrived in the wooden house, Ellet took out his magic notes and asked Link for the doubts he had encountered recently. Naturally, Link had no private answer, which benefited Ellet a lot.
Time was so fast that the two of them slowly stopped talking about magic and began to talk about the situation in the Norton Kingdom. In this regard, Link was not as good as Ellet, so he was basically listening, Ellet was talking.
"Hey, the situation in the north has begun to enter a deadlock."
"What do you mean?" Link asked with concern. He had been busy for a while and he was a little unaware of the situation in the north.
Ellet sighed, and he drank a little worried: "There have been two major wars recently, and the situation is very tragic. It is said that 20,000 soldiers have been killed in battle. The magician of the army is a little disabled and has difficulty moving. He also returned to Donggu. I went to see it. His short legs and his hands were broken, and there was also a man who had no chin. It is said that he was assassinated and throated by the dark elf assassin. He luckily lowered his head and escaped his life... Alas, it's so miserable."
Ellet shook his head repeatedly, looking emotional.
Because of his excellent magical talent, he was exempted from military service and was able to concentrate on learning magic in the academy. He felt very glad, but he felt a little guilty. In the face of trouble in the kingdom, he stayed comfortably behind him.
So he went crazy and learned magic to dilute the guilt in his heart.
Link frowned when he heard this: "Twenty thousand soldiers were killed or injured, did the Kingdom lose the battle?"
"That's not counting, it's considered a loss-making loss. The dark elves also suffered heavy losses. Their resistance is much more intense than before. Now every battle is a real hard battle. Every time one kilometer northward, countless blood will flow."
After saying that, both of them were silent.
After a long time, Link said: "Wang**** has gone too deep. What should I do now is to stabilize the defense line and should not continue to move north."
Ellet smiled bitterly: "That's the case, but the blood has begun to flow, and everyone's eyes are red, so it's hard to stop. I heard that the mainstream voices in the army are to drive the dark elves back to the ground in one go. Even if there is a sound of stopping, they will soon be drowned in the crowd."
After talking about it, the half-elf smiled bitterly: "Link, you haven't been to the Hot Spring City recently, but I've been there once. The people in the capital were so excited that they were red from the previous victory. At this time, they were all shouting for revenge when they encountered setbacks. This is really not a good thing. To be honest, I'm really afraid..."
War is most afraid of killing red eyes.
If a person's eyes turn red, he may fight to the death with others, and as a result, there will often be murders.
A kingdom is red in his eyes and the people are frenzy. Then he doesn't know if he takes a step back to preserve his power. It will easily collapse. At that time, whether the Norton Kingdom can exist will become a problem. (Refer to Germany in World War II)
Link had no choice in this situation. Wang **** was composed of various nobles, providing aristocrats with a large military power and a great voice. He had basically no power and made little contribution to the war situation in the north. He had basically no say in the kingdom, and no one would listen to him.
The only thing he can do is to develop with all his might.
After thinking about it, Link explained, "Okay, don't mention these troubles. Stay here for a few days, let's have a good chat."
Link is now the pride of Donggu. For his affairs, Donggu Magic Academy is the first priority and is very efficient.
On the fourth day, a tower building team composed of 2 magic masters, 8 high-level magicians, and 25 medium and low-level magicians came.
