Chapter 318: Civilization Fragments, Common Ancestry

The tasks related to the construction of Elson City are cumbersome and time-consuming. For Rody, who is currently seriously short of manpower, there is no need to waste energy. However, Rody can get a lot of information from a glance at the names of these tasks.

In any case, "Elson City" can be regarded as Rody's greatest achievement since he came to this world, and it is also the action he won the most loot...And such a big city, of course, can give Roddy not only A title of "Elson City Lord" is as simple as that.

Luo Di opened the unique city construction column of "City Lord"], and got all the data about the city.

In the game, each city has a calibrated "city level". The higher the level, the stronger the city's prosperity and defense capabilities. For example, the largest "Hollier City" in Efta is a moderately prosperous city at the calibration level in Rody's impression, while the more developed cities in the Karen Kingdom are mostly concentrated in the southern part of the kingdom, among which the "Rose Cross" is located. The "Holy Temple" and the Royal City of the royal family are the highest level, marked as level 14

Because of such a reference standard, when Rody saw the number in the city construction column, his heart beat doubled...

Because the level calibrated above is "level 17".

However, behind this level, a gray word is displayed: "The actual level is level 4 in the deserted city".

The so-called "desolation" is naturally because the city at this time is uninhabited and there is no productivity at all. However, "Level 17" is clearly the city's previous level—Rody licked his lips, tried hard to conceal his inner excitement, but secretly made up his mind to build it into the most powerful city in the Kingdom

City view bar]Displayed Elson City in front of Rody with a three-dimensional perspective view, allowing him to carefully look at the detailed data of all buildings, but when he glanced at the perspective view, Rody found that there were many buildings The whole body was red, and after clicking to view, he found that these buildings were written with conditions such as "requires population standard", "requires charging spar standard", etc., and is currently in a state of "unusable".

This may be the price of a level 17 city being downgraded to level 4.

Rody understood the truth that there is no pie in the sky. He breathed a sigh of relief and began to inspect from the "outer city" area—the residential area, trade area, small square, shop, opera house, etc. in the chart are marked with green fonts as "Available", and at the north and south ends of the outer city, there are two symmetrical red areas: "Military barracks area".

Clicking on the barracks, Rody can see the school grounds, dormitories and a series of infrastructure that can train the army. After checking the description, he found that two thousand soldiers can be trained at the same time.

This is absolutely unbelievable, because in this era, human beings generally do not have the term "barracks": lords lead troops to fight, and they always ask subordinate knights to recruit soldiers from their fiefs. The strength of such sources of troops varies. Qi, with simple equipment, it is no problem to fight a smooth battle, but it is simply unable to cope with high-intensity and large-scale battles.

And once there is a "barracks", Rody can quickly train a large number of high-quality troops, and have more confidence to deal with strong enemies.

This should be regarded as an unexpected harvest, but what surprised Rody even more was the "Military Factory" that was also marked in red next to the barracks.

This is completely different from the "blacksmith shop" that is common to humans today, and it can even be called a real "factory"-because of the charged magic crystal as energy, the production technology of the high elves is already in the "semi-mechanized" stage, and even derived The primary assembly line production mode, efficiency and quality have completely surpassed the workshop-style blacksmith shop

Rody looked at the instructions, as long as the start-up standard of "40 workers" of "400 rechargeable crystals" is met, and enough ore is prepared, the place can be put into production at any time

Rody saw a large list of craftable ordnance in the "Military Factory" option, and found that as long as there is a recipe, equipment below the "excellent level" can be manufactured here... and the list of several craftable equipment at the back is even more impressive. He was shocked...

It is a huge, lost defense and siege machine

But after looking at the astronomical list of materials for these ordnance, Rody shook his head and stopped lusting, and turned his attention to the inner city.

He knew that these things were too far away from him at this time, but he casually glanced at the densely packed red letters in the "inner city", and he still couldn't restrain the urge to swallow—

There are seven "arcane research rooms" of different categories, three "weapon research rooms", a large number of "granaries" filled with food seeds, four large "civilian libraries", a "royal exclusive library", various Various "museums", "altars", "arbitration courts", "Academy of Arcane Arts"...

These names are complex and have different meanings, but in Roddy's eyes, they all represent a single word: technology.

This is the crystallization of high elf civilization technology... Mastering them will inevitably mean an overall increase in productivity, competitiveness and combat effectiveness

Rody finally realized how amazing his harvest was this time, where is this a city? This is simply a microcosm of the high elf civilization

However, except for the low-level buildings such as the "granary" that are open, the rest of the buildings basically have extremely high resource requirements-Rody previously thought that the city of Elson needed at least 4,500 "charged crystals" to Activate the basic defensive magic circle, but now it seems that if you want to activate and open all the buildings, I am afraid that 45,000 "charged crystals" can be used

"It's a waste of money..."

For ordinary people, this is definitely a suffocating astronomical figure, but Luo Di, as a modern person, quickly accepted this fact: This is the same as doing business, and the annual profit and loss of a small clothing store may only be hundreds of thousands. 1 yuan, but a central enterprise bank has at least hundreds of billions of capital profits—Elson City is not a fief of low-level knights, it is a real fortress-level city that can accommodate tens of thousands of people

Rody tried his best to move his eyes away from those building descriptions, and then closed the city view bar], slowly calming down the turbulent mood.

He is very clear that it is a vast and difficult project for anyone to fully restore the city's peak level of level 17, and the most important thing is... he has not yet mastered the "charged spar" Manufacturing Technology.

Without the "charged spar", it means that the value of Elson City can't be fully utilized.

Always feeling melancholy after a surprise, Rody looked at the city in the darkness with some ecstasy, but he understood...I'm afraid I have to go to Mogra Village.

The night gradually deepened, but Camilla didn't feel sleepy at all.

Her mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts, and the panic in her heart never disappeared... Until now, she couldn't accept the fact that she could never leave Elson City again.

What is "Khadgar's Blessing"? , I have now become a "prisoner".

Being imprisoned here, Camilla didn't even know where to start the "struggle". No matter how unwilling she was, there was only a deep sense of powerlessness left.

Do you really want to compromise with Roddy? What about Nafi? Do you really want to ask him

But Naifei is everything to her, and Roddy... is it worth entrusting

Standing up unconsciously, Camilla slowly moved her stiff body, walked to the window sill of the bedroom and took a deep breath, trying to relax her tense nerves.

At this time, she could clearly see the city of Elson in the night—in the eyes of ordinary people, it is just a blurred line outlined in the darkness, but in Camilla's vision, all of these are clearly visible, just like daytime.

She can clearly see the water vapor condensed on the long swords of the patrolling guards, and can hear the conversations on the sentry post... Vision and hearing have been amplified indefinitely in the city of Elson. Faced with such a situation, Camilla even An absurd idea popped up: If his power is extremely strong in the city of Elson, can he be called the "God of Elson" in the end

She didn't know Turing's conspiracy to become a god priest. The idea at this time was just an accidental whim after controlling more power-Camila had no interest in becoming such a "god". , What is more worrying is how to regain "freedom".

Thinking this way in her heart, Camilla frowned suddenly... because she found that someone was staring at her

The eyes looked over at the first time, and the eyes of Camilla and Nata suddenly met.

Twenty meters away, Nata, who was standing on the roof of the adjacent mansion, calmly looked away after staring for a second, and continued to stare blankly at the Pasha'er Demon Tower in the distance.

In three months, Akasha became thinner and changed because of worry, but Nata looked the same as before, but no one knew what kind of crazy training she had undergone during this period—experienced several times After the battle, Nata was well aware of the huge gap in strength between herself and Rody, so during this period of time, she practiced archery in an almost masochistic way...

She worked desperately, just so that when she saw Rody again... she could have enough strength to help out and kill the enemy

She was not good at expressing, so after Rody returned safely, she didn't even say a word of greeting.

It was only when night fell again that she realized that she had long been used to climbing to the top of the building, habitually staring at the Pasha'er Demon Tower in a daze—

Because every night in the past three months, Nata spent it in the cold wind with such expectation.

Now that the worries are put down, the habit seems to be irreversible, but Nata did not expect that she would meet Camilla here—she was not interested in chatting with her, so she turned her gaze away and continued to look into the distance ecstasy...

"If I remember correctly, you are...Nata?"

When the unexpected greeting came, Nata turned her head and looked over, but she didn't speak, but there was some doubt in her eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're a Wood Elf, right?"

Nata remained silent, but frowned slightly.

There is a generation gap between the identity of wood elves and humans after all, she doesn't understand why Camilla emphasizes this point

Her silence made the atmosphere a bit awkward, but Camilla didn't seem to care, and just continued on her own: "My name is Camilla, speaking of it... there may be some people who are not far or near between us." relation.

Nata still didn't respond, which made Camilla's self-introduction very cold - in desperation, Camilla paused and said softly: "I am a descendant of the High Elf, I think...you and I should have a common ancestor. "

These words finally caused Nata's indifferent expression to change slightly. She squinted her eyes slightly, stared at Camilla, and said in a low voice, "Speak directly."
