The Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 68: Manid's arrival

Views:

The environment of the desert is cruel and not suitable for living and multiplying. Most of the reasons are too strong sunlight and high temperature.

Looking at the special effect of the solar disc to regulate the temperature, Kant finally understood why the Lost City could stand in the hot and barren Nalun Desert and become the legendary golden holy city.

"But the coverage area of special effects is 500 square meters..."

Looking at the introduction on the retina, Kant frowned slightly.

The current "Dherim" village has an overall area of 1,000 square meters of buildings alone, not counting spring water, 7.5 acres of reclaimed wheat fields, and 2 acres of date palm groves.

This means that the envelope of the solar disk can only be maintained near the governing hall.

"The range is too small."

Kant frowned, which was different from what he thought.

If the special effects of the sun disc can cover the entire sentry oasis and the entire village of "Dherim", then the adjusted sunlight and temperature will definitely bring about a huge change in the oasis.

At least you don't have to worry about it all the time, if the wheat seedlings emerge, they may be burned to death.

[Ding... system prompt]

[Currently possessed strange objects are displayed as incomplete or damaged, and can be repaired. When the strange objects are complete, they will exert better and more special effects. Remarks: Please explore the repair method by yourself.]

As if aware of Kant's stagnation, the system gave a reminder.

However, this is useless.

It just told Kant how to solve it, but he didn't say the specific solution at all. He just put down the words "please explore the repair method by yourself", which completely made Kant's eyes dark.

"It's really scalp numb."

Kant couldn't help but wryly smiled, and also shook his head helplessly.

But it's better than nothing.

Looking at the golden streamer faintly emitting from the feet, the sun disc is absorbing the sunlight coming in from the window, and the temperature in the room, which was originally scorching, has become much cooler unconsciously.

Although it is still hot, it is not as hot as a steamer like before.

It's still afternoon.

The highest temperature in the Nalun Desert is at noon.

Although the temperature as high as 70°C is only less than half an hour, as long as there are no protective measures, ordinary people can suffer from heatstroke and dehydration within this half hour, and fall miserably in the desert. Form a mummy.

The title of civilization desert is not for nothing.

Kant here, naturally has a deep understanding.

"I can sleep well in the future." With a helpless smile in his heart, Kant comforted himself.

At least I won't be woken up by the heat in the afternoon nap, or woke up by the cold at night.

Squeezing the space between his brows, Kant continued to pour himself a glass of water on the table to moisten his mouth and throat. The data list in his retina was pulled down, and a new gift package list was displayed on the dialog box.

... ...

[Desert bandit camp: military building. An earth and stone building upgraded from a stronghold. You can recruit 10 desert bandits every 7 days. Remarks: "Desert Bandit Stronghold" is required.]

[Training ground: military building. The land was compacted to pave the square with stones. Allows high-level troops to train low-level troops, adding a little experience to low-level troops.]

[Stone city walls: military buildings. The whole is a city wall made of stones, which is 5 meters high and 2 meters wide. Comes with 1 solid wood city gate. At present, it can cover the entire village, and the construction price of the excess part is 10 dinars per meter.]

[Sugar workshop: civil building. A hut made of wood with complete tools inside. Arrange farmers to enter it and consume raw materials to produce various types of sugar. Currently craftable: Date Palm Candy.]

... ...

These are buildings.

Items in 4 construction packs from Kant.

There are 3 types of military buildings and 1 type of civilian buildings.

After checking the introduction, Kant nodded secretly: "It fits the current situation."

The desert bandit camp is an upgraded version of the stronghold. The most notable feature is the number of recruits, which has changed from 1 person per week to 10 people, which greatly improves the formation time of the desert bandit light cavalry.

After having a training ground, the high-level arms can train the low-level arms, which can also promote the improvement of the quality of the troops.

"As for the stone city wall, we finally have a means of defense."

Kant had a smile on his face.

Although it is only a small stone city wall with a height of 5 meters and a width of 2 meters, it is still a city wall.

As long as it is built around the entire "Dherim" and there are no siege weapons, then Kant will lead his troops to hold the sentry oasis, which means they will be invincible.

You know, there is no water source around the sentry oasis.

The nearest water source was the well of the Gnoll tribe, two days away.

If the enemy can't make a quick decision in the shortest possible time, and directly capture Kant's village in one go, then it is impossible to even think about playing a long-term siege with Kant. The final end is probably to be sunburned besides dying of thirst.

"However, the city wall is not in a hurry."

Kant thought about it carefully, and made his own arrangements.

Now his enemies are not only the Gray Mane Kingdom, but also the nobles in the Lion Principality.

When his caravan appears in the Lion Principality, the news that the sentry oasis is rich in salt will spread throughout the human kingdoms. At that time, countless businessmen, speculators, and even all kinds of bandits will appear here.

Kant would not naively think that no one would covet such a valuable salt trade.

This is a world where big fists mean who is right!

Therefore, he needs to build a city wall reasonably to cover the village of "Dherim" under the protection of the city wall, and also to ensure that the development of the village will not be dragged down and restrained by the construction of the city wall.

After all, while protecting the city wall, it also divides the area.

Besides, the enemy hadn't arrived yet, so Kant didn't intend to rush to repair the city wall.

Development is the last word.

On the retina, Kant looked at the last building, his eyes dimmed.

"Sugar workshop?"

He read the name softly, his eyes thoughtful.

In this world, luxury goods are not only spices and refined white salt, but also high-quality sugar, which is also a good thing that nobles and big businessmen flock to and do not hesitate to spend silver coins to buy.

Snow-like white sugar is sometimes equivalent to spices, and is more expensive than white salt.

Most of the sugar in the Lion Principality is bought from the elves, and the price is equally astonishing. It is not something that ordinary people, little nobles, and little knights can afford.

The only things that can add sugar are the apples that grow in the forest, or the berries that grow on the bushes.

These things, which are still not actually out of the food, are not sugar in the true sense of the word.

"Date candy, that seems interesting."

Kant licked the corner of his mouth.

Dates are high in sugar and are indeed a good choice for making sugar.

He himself knows that as long as the dates are dried and ground into powder, it is the most basic date palm sugar. If honey can be added and boiled for a while, it can even be made into sweet and delicious candies.

Thinking that there are still a lot of dried dates in the warehouse, Kant smiled.

He suddenly discovered that in addition to the salt trade, he could also start a sugar trade.

The Principality of Xiongshi is the place where top-quality products are dumped. After all, Kant knows that the Principality, which is mostly plains and hills, does not produce salt and sugar. The most important thing is that this world has no idea about dumping.

Whoever's product is cheap will be popular and sell well.

Very simple truth.

As for the leader of the caravan, Kant already has a candidate.

Fatis is an excellent commander of the Swadian army, but when it comes to business activities, he can't keep up with this professional businessman named Manid from a traditional business family from the Nord Kingdom.

The cards in his mind were shattered into golden light.

And just behind the sand dunes not far from the sentry oasis, a figure riding a heavy horse and carrying a package appeared there.

Soon, the Watchtower spotted him.

Five Salander riders rode over and brought them back after a brief exchange.

Seeing Manid and the five Salander riders coming slowly on horseback, Kant also came to the window with a glass of water in his hand, with a smile on his lips. The leader of his own caravan, isn't that just here

"Cheer up, everyone!"

Fatis' voice sounded, and he was still arranging the patrol work of the troops below.

Kant opened his mouth and said to him: "Fatis, greet Manid, I think you should know him."

"Manid? Oh, that handsome businessman?"

Fatis was slightly stunned, looked up at Kant, nodded and said, "Of course, I know him, and I was with him in Kulau once, and we worked together to beat up a few troublesome alcoholics."

"It sounds like you know, you guys are doing a good job."

Kant took a sip of water, nodded and smiled, "He will be our caravan leader from now on."

In the continent of Calradia, Fatis and Manid had a good relationship. Both belonged to heroes who refused to rob civilians and plundered caravans, not to mention that one was from a noble family and the other was from a merchant family, and they had a common language in normal times.
