Because of the storm in the past few days, the road in the Field Wilderness looked very muddy.
The carriages from East Valley staggered on the dirt road, even if each carriage was equipped with a wind element balance array, it could not completely offset the bumpy feeling.
Along the way, many magicians with weaker physiques were stunned.
After two days of tossing like this, a camp finally appeared in front of them, and all the weak magicians were relieved.
In the first carriage sat two masters, Glenn Tin and Fontelan. Among the six members of the council, these two were the youngest. Glenn Tin was 58 years old, and Fontelanne was 54 years old. But on this kind of bumpy road, the two of them were tortured enough.
Looking at the simple camp in the distance through the window of the carriage, Glenn Xi sighed and said helplessly: "According to me, His Majesty shouldn't award Link a territory, just give Link a title. Such a genius should be careful You should stay in the academy and concentrate on studying magic."
Feng Delan's body is stronger, and his personality is more humorous. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "I don't mind this, I just think there are too many rocks in this territory."
"Who says no." Glenn Xi looked at the wasteland outside the car window where even the tenacious weeds were lingering, and complained: "This is the first time I have come to this wasteland, and it will definitely be the last time. "
If he came one more time, his old bones would definitely kill him.
Fontelin smiled: "Old man, we are about to enter the camp. When you see Link, don't say that. It will hurt the self-confidence of young people."
Glennxi was in a bad mood because of being bumped, and spread his hands when he heard the words: "What's the matter? I not only want to talk, but also persuade him to go back to the academy. It's a waste of his magical talent to toss around in such a ghostly place." .”
"Okay, okay, whatever you want." Fontelin knew that this old friend was very stubborn, so he didn't try to persuade him much, and it would be fine when his anger subsided.
"Roll~wheel~" With the sound of wheels, the carriage drove into Scorched Earth Ridge.
The road in the Scorched Earth Ridge has been specially repaired, and it looks much flatter and wider. After the convoy drove for a certain distance, they saw a welcome crowd on the side of the road, among them Link wearing the robe of the flame master was very eye-catching.
Beside him stood Ellette and Little Love, and next to him were soldiers from the mercenary group such as Yake, Lucy, Gridan, and Kalido.
'Woo~' The coachman stopped the carriage, and magicians came out of the carriage one by one.
Before getting out of the car, Glenn Xi complained again in a low voice: "Look, he's still hanging out with a bunch of vulgar mercenaries. It's really... not decent at all."
Feng Delan was speechless. He knew that the old guy Glennxi had no bad intentions, but he didn't talk about it at all.
Although it seems straightforward and sincere to do so, it is particularly easy to offend people.
At last, Glenn Xi still knew how to restrain himself. After getting off the carriage, he didn't talk nonsense, and a smile appeared on his somewhat pale face.
As the most powerful member of the college's six-member council, Glenn Xi walked at the forefront, and when he arrived at Link, he sighed and said, "Link, your place is too desolate. I heard that the climate is still very bad. When will this territory take shape?"
He still couldn't hold it back, and the resentment accumulated during the motion sickness still leaked out of his words a lot.
Link smiled apologetically, bowed and saluted: "Masters, it's been hard work. I'm already planning to build a road, and it will be able to continue with the King's Road next year at the latest. Come, come here, I've already done it for you. Everyone is ready to rest."
These two masters are both gray-haired, and they have come all the way to complain about human nature. Of course, Link will not be angry with them.
While speaking, he turned around and led the way, leading the magicians to the wooden house that had been rushed out in the past few days.
On the way, Fontelin walked up to Link and asked with concern: "The dean said that you want to use the magic tower to control the harsh climate in the wilderness. How about it? Do you have a feasible plan now?"
Link shook his head. Of course he couldn't talk about the elemental lord's sword, so he pretended to be confused and said, "There is no solution for the time being, but the weather is very good these days, and there was a spring rain yesterday. I think, here The climate in China should be exaggerated, but the real situation is not as bad as people think."
"Oh, that's good." Fontelain didn't understand the situation either, and Link believed it when he said so.
Soon, a group of people came to the wooden house.
The wooden house is a bit crude, although everything is brand new, but for magicians who are used to living in comfortable magic towers, such living conditions are really not good.
Link also knew this, and the apology on his face was even stronger: "The residence is a bit shabby, but I have set up a constant temperature magic circle in each room, and the furnishings in the house are as clean and tidy as possible. I hope it will not cause trouble to everyone."
Glenn Xi looked at the shabby wooden house, and his expression became even worse, but he didn't come here for vacation this time, so he endured it.
Feng Delan was very relaxed, and said with a smile: "This is already very good, I am very satisfied."
He said that, although the other magicians had opinions in their hearts, they couldn't say it out, and they couldn't change it anyway, so everyone had to admit it.
Because all the magicians were shaken enough all the way, so they didn't say much at the moment, and all went into the house to rest.
Glentin and Fontelan were assigned to a set of independent log cabins, which can be said to be the best building in the camp. It has two floors and an interior area of more than 70 square meters. It has two bedrooms, a living room, and the second floor. An open balcony.
Before entering the room, Glenn Xi was full of resentment, but after entering the room, he felt a warm and fragrant breath rushing towards his face, his whole body was immediately refreshed, and the spring cold breath on his body was also dispelled.
Looking at the interior of the wooden house, there is a wooden matte floor, a wooden table, a few chairs, and a small bookshelf. They are all brand new, and the workmanship is exquisite. The room is also very clean. The whole room is simple and bright. It is refreshing.
Glenn Xi is a straightforward person, feeling comfortable, his resentment has been reduced by more than half, and a smile appeared on his face: "It's not bad, it seems that Link has put his heart into it."
Fontelin also nodded. He found the constant temperature magic circle, studied it carefully, and then exclaimed: "This magic circle is really a genius design, hiss~ This seems to be a Sauerlon structure, and it can precisely control the temperature in the room. The temperature. I bet it must be Link's handwriting."
Curious, Glenn also came up to take a look. Half a minute later, he felt sorry again: "Really, Link shouldn't be building a territory. He should be training in the academy. It's a waste of his talent here."
"Okay, old friend, you have said this for countless times. Let's rest, tomorrow we have to find the leyline node to build the magic tower."
"All right."
…
Here, after Link arranged a group of magicians, he ushered in another unexpected guest.
This person is none other than the owner of the Green Leaf Firm that Link has been cooperating with, businessman White.
"Hey, why did you come here in person? The magic equipment for this month has already been delivered to you by Kalido." Link was a little surprised.
White smiled heartily. During this period of time, his business firm has made great progress, and he looked refreshed. He smiled and said, "I heard that you are going to let go of your hands and feet to build a territory?"
Link also smiled: "Heh~ your news is really well-informed. It's true, my port will be completed soon."
After the construction of the port is completed, sea transportation can start. The efficiency of sea transportation is hundreds of times higher than that of land transportation. At that time, a large amount of materials for the construction of the territory will be transported by sea. This is what Link planned early on.
White said: "I have met many nobles in Hot Spring City during this period of time. They are all interested in your affairs. There are some special products for sale in the nobles' territories. Here, I compiled a list. Take a look. Maybe there's something you need."
Link took the list and looked at it, and saw the names of at least 40 noble lords, including the Norton Kingdom and the southern countries. Behind the noble emblems were the building materials and prices they could provide.
For example, the Earl of Beverly in the north of Hot Springs can provide red beech wood for more than 20 years. Baron Grant in the west of Gwent Forest can provide stone materials. There are also many lords who can provide food. Some lords are even selling slaves to work hard.
Link looked over carefully and found that everything on the list was what he needed. He had to marvel at White, a businessman with a keen sense of smell.
Handed the list to Joshua, his clerk: "White, this has helped me a lot. But I am planning to build a magic tower recently, and I am afraid I don't have enough time and energy to do it. You go and discuss it with Lucy, the head of my camp. Bar."
"Of course that's fine."
"Oh, there is one more thing I need your help with." Link suddenly thought of a very important thing, that is, his territory is short of people, a lot of people, with a radius of hundreds of miles and only 2,000 aborigines. It doesn't matter at all to order people.
"You said." White said immediately, he had a hunch that this was definitely a big deal.
"That's right, my territory now needs a large number of people, but the condition of the territory is too poor, and it is currently not enough to attract free people to join me..."
Before he finished speaking, White understood. He smiled and said, "Do you need to buy slaves?"
"By the way, a large number of slaves, the more the better, do you have connections?" Link laughed. This is really an extremely shrewd businessman. He really saw the right person.
"Master, what specific requirements do you have for these slaves?"
"Young and strong."
"What about race and gender?"
"It's better to be a human race. As for gender, half and half men and half women... oh no, more than 10% men, the construction of the territory needs manpower, and I need men to work." There is another reason Link didn't say, he still needs to learn from these Soldiers were recruited from among the slaves.
White pondered for a while, and then said: "The kingdom doesn't have many slaves, and even if there are, they are all dark elves. You definitely don't need it. But there are many in the Southern Commercial Alliance, and there are often frictions there, so there are a lot of prisoners of war. For slaves, those nobles are very happy to sell them for money. I will contact you when I go back."
"Thank you very much."
White acted swiftly and swiftly, didn't stay for a moment, turned around and went out with Joshua to discuss the purchase of materials with Lucy.
Link stayed alone in the study, thinking about future plans.
In the future, if he wants to build a magic tower, build a territory, and greatly expand the population of the territory, it will definitely cost money like a flood, and he has to find a way to open source and make money.
It's time to mine the anti-magic clay in the territory.
