Custer yawned.
He raised his head and looked at the dark forest in front of him. A cool wind blew through the trees, causing a rustling sound. This is a good weather that will let people sleep peacefully and have a beautiful dream. But now, he and his men are holding torches and patrolling here. If it was changed to weekdays, then Custer might have complained for a long time, but now, he is just sullen, showing a trace of pride and excitement.
"Okay, everyone rests for a while, then returns the same way!"
Casting his eyes on the lights that stretched out of the forest plains, Custer coughed loudly, and then gave orders.
After returning from the Zac family's territory, Custer regained his subordinates, completely abandoned the Byrd family, and joined the Yulian camp. Of course, in the face of his command, not everyone can be convinced. At that time, the guards who followed Custer to the Zac family territory naturally understood Yulian's strength, and he did not resist the judgment of his captain at all. They don't want to die in the hands of a high-level swordsman. However, the other members who stayed at the time and did not participate in the operation obviously did not think so. Although many of them did not believe this obviously unimaginable fact, but after the persuasion of their colleagues, they also Some are shaken. After all, these are all companions who get along with them day and night, and should not deceive themselves.
In the end, the guard sent by Viscount Juventus to disturb the Twilight Forest was completely a private soldier of Yulian. Faced with such an outcome, Viscount Juventus could only helplessly accept it. But even so, the days of these soldiers on the guard were not so good.
Although in order to reward them, Youlian gave each person who chose to stay quite generously, but the so-called people not only have to survive, but also have face. Even if you have coins in your hands and you are humiliated by your face, it is unreasonable. This is the current situation of Custer and his team.
Although they were inside the Twilight Forest, they did not encounter any cold encounters and prejudices, but because the guard soldiers needed to patrol back and forth, they sometimes appeared outside the Twilight Forest to meet the guard soldiers of the Byrd family, and this time They must be ridiculed by the other party. After all, Custer's tenure in the Byrd family is not short, there are many enemies and friends, and they are always ridiculed. It is a bit funny to think that he, an experienced captain of security, ran to a young, hairy kid who did not even have a formal knighthood. Moreover, after all, the twilight forest is barren, and the prosperous places are no less than those of the plains. Blessed but not enjoy, but go to sin, is this not sick?
I have to say that this kind of remark at the beginning really stimulated many soldiers in the squadron, although some people came forward to refute that the young lord is a high-level swordsman, and it is not shameful to work under his staff. But he will always be sarcastic by his former colleagues. An advanced swordsman? If he is really a high-level swordsman, he will be a lord in this twilight forest where the bird does not shit. Even if you want to lie, you must find a more appropriate reason.
After one or two visits, these soldiers were also somewhat discouraged. Although they knew that they were indeed telling the truth, these people did not believe it, and they had no choice.
But this situation has changed after the end of the summer festival.
Those former colleagues who had gazed at themselves with arrogance and contempt, now saw them with a trace of envy and jealousy, and even sometimes some soldiers ran to the post of the Twilight Forest while their chiefs were not paying attention. , Ask about the lord. And at this time, Caster and other talents learned about Messiah and Semia. The martial arts in the square that day had already become the talk of everyone in the Byrd family territory. To know, it was two. A little girl in her early tens, she already has the strength of a high-level swordsman. Such power is enough to become a topic in all populations. At this moment, the entire Bird family knows from top to bottom that in their territory, in the twilight forest, there are now three high-level swordsmen!
For nobles, this naturally means a lot of complicated things. But for the lower-level soldiers, it is different. Their life is actually very simple. They use money to do things and serve the nobles. But soldiers are also humans, and naturally hope to be able to fight under capable and powerful noblemen, so that at least their chances of survival are much higher. Looking at the territory of the Byrd family, who can be more powerful than a high-level swordsman?
What’s more, soldiers are also warriors. Since they are warriors, they naturally yearn for those who have mastered the pinnacle of martial arts. The knights are too far away, and they can almost only observe the existence of worship, but high-level swordsmen are different, although he It will also be admired by the warriors, but at the same time it will also become the goal of the warriors. After all, compared with the illusory knight class, high-level swordsmen obviously have some possibilities.
It is for this reason that what Custer had originally done was a foolish decision for others. Now it has become a decisive, forward-looking and wise judgment. Not only were the lower-level soldiers a little shaken, even in the first two days, a senior cavalry captain whom Custer knew came running around, asking whether he would need to recruit more manpower in the Twilight Forest, even guaranteeing before leaving, as long as With him in one day, then there is no need to worry about the security issues outside the Twilight Forest.
Such a change naturally satisfied the vanity of Caster and others, and because of this, they are also working very hard at the moment. They must know that in the Bird family, they are only a part of the security forces. But in the Twilight Forest, they are the only security forces that can maintain law and order. Because of this, Custer and his men understand that if they can perform well in front of the lord, their future will be in the future. It was bright.
"Okay, after the break, prepare to continue to patrol!
Custer knocked on the shield, and the first one stood up, he had thought about it, and in a few days, he took over his mother and children to live. Although the Twilight Forest is no more prosperous than outside, the quiet and serene atmosphere here is very suitable for people to live in. It is safer than the big cities full of drunks, hooligans and thieves. In fact, for the guard soldiers such as Custer, it is already a thankful thing not to deal with those bastards.
Just as Custer and his men were about to start patrolling again, the ground suddenly began to tremble slightly.
What happened?
Custer frowned and raised his hand to signal that his men stopped moving, and at that moment, the earth's trembling became stronger.
earthquake?
"team leader!"
Just as Custer was thinking hard, a guard soldier suddenly shouted, and with the help of the firelight, Custer also saw that the ground, not far away in front of his eyes, suddenly began to sink down.
"Rewind!! Retreat immediately!"
Although he didn't know what happened, Custer quickly gave the order, and he led the soldiers back a few meters, observing the ground from a distance.
But the current situation is somewhat unexpected from Custer. He originally thought that the depression was a fissure caused by the earthquake, but now, although the ground is still shaking, the ravine has expanded to three or four meters wide. Instead of continuing to tear, it continued along an invisible trajectory and extended towards both sides.
The gully extended very quickly, and disappeared into the dark forest just in the blink of an eye. In the face of this unexpected scene, the soldiers were stunned and did not know exactly what was happening in front of them. However, this is just the beginning.
Along with the extension of the gully, the surrounding trees began to transform. They made a rustling sound, and the thick branches and trunks began to twist, stretch, rotate, and become more lush under the influence of some unknown force. Even the shrubs and grass on the ground slowly spread outwards-and at this moment, the ground that had been trembling slightly finally returned to calm.
Then, the soldiers heard the cool, silver-like sound of water, which was the sound of a stream.
What on earth happened?
They looked at each other, and then hesitated to move forward, then, when they saw the scenery in front of them, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.
Not far away from them, the original solid land is gone. Instead, it is a stream with clear springs, and at their original road position, there is now a low, beautifully made of pebbles. The bridges, streams, grasslands, and trees blend into one, as if they have been in harmony here for hundreds of years. If a stranger comes for him, I am afraid he would never have thought that such a stream would actually It was just here a few minutes ago.
"Captain, this is..."
All this in front of everyone couldn't understand it. Caster swallowed and turned his head to look into the distance. There was only a black castle silhouetted by the mountains and the forest. Guess this sudden difference The change must be inseparable from the lord. But after all, this is just speculation. As a guard captain, he naturally knows his duties and what he should do now.
"Go back and report to Lord Lord immediately."
Looking at the stream in front of him again, Custer quickly ordered.
Charlotte reached out.
The verdant trees and shrubs shook in front of her hands, politely and firmly intercepting the girl, they formed an unknowable distribution, and transformed into a natural barrier, blocking the intruder who tried to offend.
"This is a natural barrier, Lord Lord."
Charlotte turned back in surprise, reporting to Yulian.
"This is a secret method that only the elves can use. In this way, they block those intruders who try to enter the forest without authorization-the grace is on top. I never thought that the source transfer device could do this. "
Early in the morning after receiving the Custer report, Yulian took his men to the scene, and from the current situation, they obviously got the results they wanted.
Natural barriers are the secret techniques of elves. They will use this technique to move the position of trees in the forest, and set up strange labyrinths in the periphery, making ordinary people impassable. Once someone breaks in without permission, then after spending some energy, it is likely that he will eventually walk out of the forest instead of going deep. Even if someone is lucky enough to enter, then he will face the trees and plants that seem to grow naturally and are disorderly, but in fact can block the blockers. The elves are peaceful by nature and don't like to bleed, so it is their only choice to be able to invite each other out without blood. Of course, this mystery is not available to anyone. In fact, it is almost impossible for all races except elves to master this mystery. I never imagined that this mystery would actually be stored in a source conversion device.
According to the results of the current survey, this stream is almost the outer area of ​​the twilight forest, and the whole is wrapped up to form this natural barrier. So that those who try to penetrate the forest can only return without success. In fact, even if someone forcibly enters it by force, their whereabouts will immediately reach Youlian's ear, so even if someone can break in safely, they want to hide the purpose of the whereabouts, they will completely fail.
"What a magic device."
Seeing everything in front of me, even O'Falil, could hardly hide his astonishment.
"Sacred Grace is on the top. Although I have also seen the source conversion device, I never thought it could do such a thing."
"A general source installation is indeed impossible, Miss O'Falil."
Charlotte deserved to be an alchemist, and soon recovered his original calmness.
"Although I don't know where this thing came from, I can be sure that it is definitely not a general source device."
"I think so."
Youlian nodded, he didn't care about technology, but that doesn't mean that he was an idiot in this respect. As the saying goes, he hasn't eaten pork and has seen pigs run. Although Yulian has never had his own source device, But he has also seen many similar things. As for the performance of those things, he is still very clear.
In fact, he also learned some data about the source from the artificial elves last night. The source brought back by Yulian this time is of medium size, about 10,000 mana will be cast every day, but due to the twilight forest It is not the center of the source, so the source must consume 3000 mana every day to change the surrounding environment. It will not be reduced until the place is completely transformed into the source. Yulian also learned from the artificial elves that for the source installation, the creation of ordinary buildings will only consume a part of the mana, but if you need to create an existence with a certain mysterious power like a natural barrier, you still need to spend a certain amount The number of Mana to support it. It's like the current river of meditators-since it was created, the Mobius Ring must consume 100 mana every month to support its continued existence.
But before that, Yulian had given the artificial elf another job—to materialize the wandering soul in the castle.
You should know that these wandering souls are all elites in the chaotic era. They are not only powerful, but also trusted by Youlian, and their loyalty is understandable. Although the expansion and prosperity of the territory in the future will naturally attract more populations, but the strength is strong, and the loyal subordinates are not so easy to find.
However, although the number of wandering souls is not large, because of their generally strong strength, they want to be materialized, and they consume a lot of energy. Each time to restore a wandering entity, at least about two or three thousand mana, The only luckily is that these wandering souls were born in the chaotic era, and most of them are familiar with some spells and meditation. To maintain your existence, you don't need to consume the power of the source.
Because of this, Yulian agreed with the artificial elves that at midnight every day, the source device will consume a part of Mana to make a wandering soul materialized. In this way, after three months, basically all wandering souls can have a body, so that they will be much easier. Of course, considering the upcoming battles, he puts those wandering spirits with significantly stronger combat powers in front, while those with relatively weaker combat powers are released backwards.
As far as the current situation is concerned, this source conversion device does have the conditions to allow itself to build territory.
Now that the barrier has been completed, what Yulian wants to do next is the next step of the plan-sort out the town.
"Ovalier, what is the current situation of our material reserves?"
Hearing Yulian's inquiry, O'Falil thought for a moment, then she quickly answered.
"For wood, we have a lot, but for the stone, because there is not enough manpower, only a small part remains."
It’s no wonder, after all, wood is relatively easy to collect, but the words of quarrying are different. This is a dangerous job. Generally, it is only allowed to be done by slaves. Civilians are not to the point of nowhere, and they rarely participate in it-that’s not as good as Go mining, if you can dig some gems or something, you might be able to get rich overnight.
The quarries in large cities are generally controlled by large merchants, and most of their workers come from slaves who trade and buy, and the Twilight Forest is a place where there are few people who are thalassic. No big businessmen will hit their minds here. You know, although Twilight Forest There is no shortage of stones here, but mining the quarry in this place takes a lot of manpower and financial resources, and no one will idle to invest money in it. In addition, stone and mineral materials are different, and the price is relatively low. But it is not so easy.
"Then only bought it."
Hearing O'Falriel's answer, Yulian frowned, and the artificial elf made it clear that although Mana's power can also create stone, it also consumes a lot of energy, and in this respect, if you can have ready-made Materials, then the energy consumption will be reduced a lot, and because of this, he hopes to use these manas in the most efficient way while saving as much as possible.
Now, after seeing the power of the Mobius ring, you can finally relax and use the device thoroughly.
"Miss O'Falriel, I think we need to plan for the development of the next territory."
Thinking of this, Yulian raised his head and looked at the girl standing beside him, showing a smile.
PS: I accidentally undid it once before, but it is missing a bit, and it is currently made up.
