When he arrived in the territory, Link saw two familiar figures. It was his friend Ellette who hadn't seen him for a long time, and beside him was the lovely little girl Love.
Ellette also saw Link, but was taken aback by the giant tiger he was riding, and didn't dare to go forward for a while. Doras looked at him, bared his teeth, and snorted disdainfully: "Coward."
After Link got off his back, it held its head up, walked gracefully, and walked towards its own shack.
Well, there are a lot of strangers today, so he wants to act aloof.
Here, Link greeted Ailette with a smile, approached him, and patted him on the back enthusiastically: "Why are you free this time?"
The last time I heard that Link had mastered level 9 magic and repelled the great demon Taluvis, Ellette seemed to be greatly motivated. After returning to the magic tower, he started learning magic like crazy. He usually doesn't go out easily, crazy The level is comparable to the previous Link.
Ailette chuckled, pointed to the huge puppet next to him, pulled Love aside, and said with a smile: "I heard that you spent 15,000 gold coins to order such a big guy from the academy, so I'll come over There was a lot of excitement, and it happened that Love also wanted to meet her mentor, so I brought her along."
Love stepped forward, saluted Link seriously, calling him a mentor.
For this disciple, Link basically let her study by herself, or entrusted her to teach Verola. He really didn't have much time to teach by himself. He felt a little guilty, patted Love's head lightly, and said with a smile: "Then This time I will stay here for a few months, don't rush to go back, just as I am going to build a magic tower, you can learn a lot."
"Okay." Love was still a little worried that Link was too busy and didn't have time, but now that he was allowed to let go of his worries, he smiled sweetly.
"Now go play." Link patted the little girl on the shoulder, and the little girl started wandering around the Scorched Earth Ridge camp. Well, there are many novel things in this place, such as the big talking cat. very funny.
Ailette looked at the burning scorched earth ridge, then turned to look at Link, and said with emotion: "After all, you became a lord. You are obviously about the same age as me, but you look much more mature and dignified than me."
Link laughed: "These things are just appearances, nothing important. Come, let me see this tiller puppet."
He walked around the puppet, carefully observing the details.
This puppet is five meters high, with a humanoid upper body and two huge iron plows forming the lower body. The upper and lower bodies of the whole body are made of anti-magic clay. There is a huge mid-level magic crystal inlaid on the chest, which is the magic hub.
Link looked carefully bit by bit, sometimes nodding, sometimes frowning slightly, this puppet basically meets the requirements, but the workmanship is not very fine, Link has obsessive-compulsive disorder, it is a bit uncomfortable to watch, but he also knows that this kind of project Golem, there is no need to be too delicate, so I will bear this dissatisfaction.
The magic apprentice in charge of delivery introduced: "This plowing puppet can dig up the soil at a depth of 1.5 meters. As long as the supply of magic energy is continuous, it can operate continuously for 24 hours, at least for a year."
Link listened carefully, then asked, "How efficient is it?"
"In the case of 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 can also plow more than 80 acres."
100 acres in 24 hours, 3,000 acres in a month, 36,000 acres in mind, sounds pretty good, but judging from the situation in Field Wilderness, this is still slow.
Link decided to look at the puppet first, and if the effect was good, he would order a few more.
At the end, he said to the magic apprentice who was in charge of the delivery: "It meets my requirements, thank Master Vosminlun for me, he solved a big problem for me."
This is an intermediate magic apprentice, judging by his magical aura and attire, he should be a low-level figure in the academy, he gave Link a mage salute, and said very respectfully: "It is our honor to be able to solve the trouble for the master. Now that Master is satisfied, I will go back."
Link hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, I'm going to build a large magic tower in the territory, and I've already finished the financial preparations, please bring this news back to East Valley."
Although the old lich Wayans suggested that Link let the high elves build a magic tower, he was a pure scholar's idea, and Link, as the lord, could not do so.
Because he was born in Donggu, and has a high reputation in Donggu, and he is still a candidate for the dean. At this time, he wants to build a magic tower, but asks outsiders for help, and Donggu will lose all face.
This is emotionally unreasonable, and the relationship between him and East Valley College is very likely to weaken due to this.
That's really picking up the corn and losing the watermelon, it's not a good deal.
But the high elves have a profound foundation in magic, and their level is indeed high, so what should we do
Link's idea is to ask East Valley College to help build the main body and basic structure of a large magic tower, but leave a lot of room for functional expansion. If there is a chance in the future, find a reason that everyone can live with, and ask the high elves for help. .
This is the means of a mature lord.
On this side, when he heard that Link was going to build a magic tower, which was still a large one, the magic apprentice flashed deep envy in his eyes, and Ellette on the side was also full of longing.
The magic tower is still a large one, which is the dream of many magicians for a lifetime.
"Don't worry, I will bring this news back to the academy immediately."
"Well, this is your reward." Link handed over a money bag.
The apprentice took the purse and felt his hands sink. He knew that there were at least 20 gold coins in it, which was worth the income he earned from working hard in the magic tower for a month. This made him very happy. After thanking Link, he also Without taking a break, he rushed back to East Valley Academy of Magic.
Here, Link said to a guard: "Go, call Magic Affairs Officer Calido."
"Yes, my lord." The guard turned and ran to call someone.
After a while, Calido trotted over.
Link pointed to the puppet and said, "This is the plow puppet. The plowing depth reaches 1.3 meters, and the operation is very simple. Take it to the flat land in the south of Scorched Earth Ridge to test the effect."
"No problem." Calido 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 Ellette who was waiting on the side: "I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting, let's go, let's talk in the cabin."
Ailette smiled: "It's okay, you are so busy in the academy, I'm used to it."
The two chatted while walking, and after walking for a while, Ailette suddenly saw a black-haired woman with an extremely unique temperament coming out of a wooden house, slightly surprised: "Who is that woman?"
Celine is Link's apprentice in name, but with her peerless appearance and unique temperament, she stands out from the crowd among ordinary people. As long as she appears, she can be noticed immediately.
With the camouflage pendant, Link was not worried that Ailette would notice Celine's abnormality, so he smiled naturally: "Her name is Celine Fran, she is my... good friend, and learn some magic from me."
"Good... friend?" Ailette was startled, and then he saw Link's gaze, and he suddenly realized that he thought his friend was not interested in women, but it turned out that he hadn't met the right person before.
"Haha, I understand." Ailette didn't ask any more questions, and continued the magic topic with Link.
When he arrived at the wooden house, Ellette took out his magic notes and asked Link about the doubts he had encountered recently. Link naturally answered them without any secrets, which benefited Ellette a lot.
Time passed quickly, and the two gradually stopped talking about magic, and began to chat about the situation in the Norton Kingdom. In this regard, Link is not as well-informed as Ellette, so basically he is listening and Ellette is talking.
"Hey, the situation in the north has begun to enter a stalemate."
"How to say?" Link asked with concern. He has been busy for a while, and he is a little ignorant of the northern war situation.
Ailette sighed, he took a sip of water, and was a little worried: "There have been two major wars recently, and the battles were very tragic. It is said that 20,000 soldiers died in the battle. When I arrived in Donggu, I went to see it. There was a man with short legs and a broken hand, and another man with no chin. It is said that he was assassinated and wiped his throat by a dark elf assassin. .”
Ailette shook his head again and again, with a look of emotion.
Because of his excellent magic talent, he was exempted from military service and was able to concentrate on studying magic at the academy. He felt very fortunate, but he also felt a little guilty in his heart. The kingdom was in trouble, but he stayed at the rear comfortably.
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. Could it be that the Kingdom has lost the battle?"
"That doesn't count, it can be regarded as a loss for both sides. The dark elves also suffered heavy losses. Their resistance is much fiercer than before. Now every battle is a real hard battle. Every time they advance one kilometer to the north, countless people will die." Blood."
After speaking, both of them were silent.
After a long time, Link said: "The Royal Army has gone too deep. The most important thing to do now is to strengthen the defense line and should not continue to advance north."
Ailette smiled wryly: "That's what I said, but the blood has already started to flow, everyone's eyes are red, and it's hard to stop. I heard that the mainstream voice in the army wants to drive the dark elves back to the ground in one go. There was a sound of stopping, which was quickly lost in the crowd."
Speaking later, the half-elf smiled wryly: "Link, you haven't been to Hot Springs recently, but I have been there once. The people in the capital were so excited by the previous victory, and they encountered setbacks at this time. Everyone is shouting for revenge, this is really not a good thing, to be honest, I'm really afraid... "
War is most afraid of red eyes.
If a person is red-eyed, he may fight to the death with others, and the result is often a murder case.
If a kingdom is red-hot, and the people are fanatical, if they don't know how to take a step back to preserve their strength, it will easily collapse. At that time, whether the Norton Kingdom can exist or not will become a problem. (refer to World War II Germany)
Link has nothing to do about this situation. The Kingdom Army is composed of various nobles. The nobles who provide the most troops have a great voice. He basically has no power now, and he has little contribution to the northern war situation. He basically has no right to speak in the Kingdom. No one will listen to him.
The only thing he can do is to develop with all his strength.
After thinking about it, Link explained: "Okay, don't mention these troubles. Stay here for a few days, let's have a good chat."
Today's Link is the pride of East Valley. For his affairs, East Valley Academy of Magic is the first, and the efficiency is very high.
On the fourth day, a tower-building team consisting of 2 magic masters, 8 high-level magicians, and 25 middle- and low-level magicians arrived.
Link's magic tower is also officially on the agenda.
