After bidding farewell to Easterlin and leaving the Mage Tower, Dane first summoned Fal'o and Eslore.
Before the two of them arrived, Dane opened his territory page first.
After a lapse of more than a month, he returned to Orienado again. In this piece of land that belonged to him, he could finally see the familiar statistics page of the territory again.

The tree of life, Auriana, had already completed his journey to the second level before he went out to battle. As for the mage tower, when he built it, he directly built a second-level building. The other existing buildings in Auriel City are all first-class.
These are things he has been familiar with for a long time. One of his main concerns is population and the other is resources.
The population growth rate is still very gratifying. The human population has reached more than 500 people, some of them are fighters of the horror mercenaries. But most of them are slaves bought from Tatara. The population of half-orcs has decreased, because at the beginning there were only a part of the half-orcs in the horror mercenary group, and some were killed or injured in several battles, but they did not increase. The more important part is the elf population.
The elves who escaped from Nancy's Royal Court on the Golden Fragrant Leaf have basically been integrated into Auriel Nadu. With Patience and her ranger troops all subdued, those elves who were originally single-minded The elf commoners who only want to live a stable life will not cause any trouble. These elves, there are almost two hundred or so in number. The other two hundred elves came from the Divine Guidance Tree Tower.
The first-level divine guide tree tower can attract as few as seven or eight, as many as fifteen or sixteen elves from other worlds every week. The number is random and depends entirely on luck. But the time basis is here. After three or four months, the population of elves with the highest loyalty to Dane has grown to a scale of about two hundred.
This is a very exciting thing. Dane plans to complete the upgrade of the divine guide tree tower as soon as possible in order to further increase the speed of population growth.
He plans to come back this time and spend another sum of resources to improve the overall strength of the territory. The newly unlocked shipyard in the second-level territory, Dane didn't plan to get it out now, but the upgrade of some existing buildings must be put on the agenda. After the level of these existing buildings was raised, it was convenient for him to find a way to raise the level of the tree of life to the third level.
These all require resources to support, but the gold coins and other resources on the books surprised Dane a little.
too little!
He personally sold Sombra once, and got a lot of money back; when he hacked to death the giant mammoth in Shawan Harbor, Morno's confidant, Emre, also took out 20,000 gold coins to put to his ship. In addition, the few boxes of black crystals returned by Golobo acted without authorization, and the final treatment method was also led by Eslor to purify them, and then his halfling captain Hull dragged them to the mainland It was handed over to Goodell to sell it, and the money has been returned.
It stands to reason that on his account, whether it is gold coins or other resources purchased with gold coins, there should be a considerable amount of balance. However, the fact is that the number of resources on the lord interface at this moment is much less than expected.
The first thought that popped up in Dane's head was: Could he be embezzled
Soon, this possibility was ruled out of his mind.
He still has a certain sense of trust in the old Druid Fal'o, who was entrusted by him to take charge of the economic power after he left. He was reluctant to imagine such a scenario in the absence of solid evidence.
Fortunately, he didn't think so. When he took a closer look at the data of the entire lord interface, he felt as if he had found the reason why there were so few book resources.
That's right, Auriana doesn't have much money anymore, but instead, there are three squads of sword dancers, two squads of sentinels, and the ones trained by Easterling that are not displayed in the lord interface. The team of mages that came out, as well as the team of Hilo elf priests cultivated by the monastery's templar Kexier.
The cultivation price of sword dancers is not low. In addition to the time cost, the three teams of sword dancers will spend less than 1500 yuan in gold coins. Sentinels are much more expensive. The training price of a small team of sentries is twice that of sword dancers. Two teams of sentinels cost almost two thousand gold coins.
However, the big head is still in the training of mages and priests. It takes about five hundred gold coins to develop a mage. Priests are much cheaper, but it costs gems and brimstone resources to train them. Taking these into account, the price of a priest's training is not much different from that of a mage.
Easterling trained eight or nine mage apprentices in one go, which is four to five thousand gold coins! He doesn't know about the situation in Kexier yet. After all, the number of mages and priests will not be displayed on the lord interface, but if you think about it, you will know that there are so many mages, and it is estimated that the number of priests will only increase. will be less.
The cultivation of these two spellcasting professions completely occupied the bulk of Dane's money during his absence!
His guess was confirmed by Fal'o and Esrael who came in a hurry.
When the two of them first arrived, they expressed a great deal of surprise that Dane, who was on an expedition, was able to find time to come back so quickly.
Dane didn't continue to explain too much on this matter. After a few perfunctory sentences, he turned the topic to the main point: "Who are you two to tell me, how much money has been invested in the Mage Tower? How much money has been invested in the monastery?" ? Why not control it?"
The two looked at each other.
