The whistling wind blew by, bringing a hint of coolness.
Leylin rode on the horse and looked at the scenery on both sides. A large number of fields were connected together, and dense farmers were plowing on them.
On both sides of the road, purification towers can be seen everywhere.
This is specially used to eliminate the radiation pollution unintentionally emitted by wizards, so that ordinary people and wizards can survive safely.
Robin finally agreed to Leylin's request, and sent another warlock to bring Leylin to his territory.
"Master Marquis! Your noble status and territory certification have been issued. In the future, your title can even be recognized in the entire central continent! The plains east of the Black Ze Mountains are all within your territory. People who live here Ordinary people automatically become your subjects!"
A gray-haired second-level warlock said from the side.
"Bring the map over here!" Leylin got off his horse, and Gubler immediately took out a roll of yellowed map and unfolded it.
With the help of the map, the outline of the territory became clearer. Not only was it a vast area, but it also included several fertile plains, and even a coastline and several excellent ports.
The Marquis of the Central Continent naturally has much higher gold content than those on the south coast, and the scope of the territory can even be compared to a large kingdom on the south coast.
Of course, for Leylin who had ruled the entire Dark Pole Territory and had a population of 50 million under his control, it was not too shocking and not worth moving.
On the other hand, Gubler and the second-level warlock had envious expressions on their faces.
Such a wide range of land output, even if converted into wizard resources, is still a huge source of income for ordinary third-level warlocks.
"Gubler! You need to find some professional management personnel to build up the ruling structure here, oh! Also, for my aristocratic badge, just use the secret seal as the pattern!" Leylin ordered casually.
Gubler bowed his head respectfully, expressing his understanding.
Seeing this, the white-haired old warlock looked at Gubler with envy flashing in his eyes.
In his opinion, Leylin was a Komoin serpent warlock who also joined the Morning Star wizard, with unlimited potential. Gubler was his first vassal, so he gained deep trust and his status naturally rose.
With Robin, even if he climbed all his life, he could barely enter the inner circle.
Comparing these two phases made him even more envious and jealous.
"Master! As a marquis! You also need a castle as the core of power!" Gubler reminded at the right time.
"Well! Then buy some slaves, and recruit a group of my subjects to build them with food and money as compensation! The location is set here!" Leylin casually pointed at the map.
It is a plain location relatively close to the coastline, and you will reach the port when you walk outside.
"Obey! Merciful master!" Gubler praised.
In fact, after the Ouroboros Ring sealed all of this place to Leylin, he had the power over the life and death of any creature on this land, and even allowed the establishment of an army and the establishment of a kingdom.
In the Central Continent, the citizens even have to bring their own dry food every year to unconditionally respond to the lord's call, and undertake certain labor and war logistics.
Now that Leylin still pays his salary, it is naturally extremely kind.
"The castle is named 'Black Castle'. You go and gather a group of scholars and craftsmen first, and show me the blueprint after the design is complete!"
Leylin didn't care about such trivial matters, and directly delegated power.
What he really paid attention to was still below: "And next to the black castle, I plan to build a wizard tower!"
"Wizard Tower!" The two people next to him immediately exclaimed, which meant a lot of resource expenditure.
"Yes, and according to the best standards!" In Leylin's eyes, Castle Black is just a power center for mortals, and this wizard tower will be his real residence in the future.
"Why not build it at the headquarters? There can not only get resource support, but also joint protection?" Gubler suggested.
"No!" Leylin shook his head flatly and refused. Although it can be established in the headquarters, it can still obtain certain technical and resource support, but the core of the wizard tower needs to be incorporated into the joint defense system, which cannot be tolerated!
He has too many secrets, how can he show them to others
And a Wizard Tower is a necessary prerequisite for the Stargate experiment, so Leylin made up his mind to build it independently on his own territory.
"In that case! Design drawings and costs..." Gubler felt a little dizzy after thinking about it for a while.
"I will complete the design by myself. As for the cost, you don't have to worry about it!" Leylin smiled lightly.
After all, he is someone who has searched the entire Dark Pole Region. Although it is far less wealthy than the Central Continent, it is still very terrifying to concentrate on one person.
He even filled a space ring with magic stones, and there are a lot of precious resources, enough to cost a wizard tower, and it is the kind of wizard tower built according to the highest standard!
How could an ordinary wizard tower bear Leylin's ambition
Moreover, the high-level wizard tower has a certain role in promoting the progress of the wizard's own strength, and it is a necessary environment for many experiments! Therefore, many senior wizards will plan to build their own wizard towers.
But like Leylin, it's very rare for people who can build it with their own money and don't find it difficult. Others often need hundreds of years of accumulation to have any hope. It's still the general standard. As for the top-notch configuration? They only dare to think in their dreams.
"As a preliminary reserve for building castles and wizard towers, I need a large number of male slaves and stonemasons. Do you have channels there?"
Leylin looked at the old warlock.
"Of course!" the old man bowed, "In fact, my master has several special channels for orcs, goblins, dwarves, and adult human slaves..."
"Well! Then I'll leave this side to you. I need at least 10,000 people! As for the payment method, use magic stones!"
After Leylin finished speaking, he saw a gleam of joy in the old warlock's eyes.
The Central Continent also uses gold and silver as currency for circulation, while magic stone is a more advanced currency, and the exchange rate in the black market is very high. If he does this, some money will definitely come out.
Of course, these small benefits have long been ignored by Leylin, and they can make the old man work harder, so he naturally let him go.
…
Blackcastle Plain, no matter what it was called before, but after Leylin made a decision, it will automatically be renamed Blackcastle Plain, and it will also become the power center of this emerging territory.
Teams of adult slaves, urged on by the whips and clubs of the overseers, toiled to transport huge blocks of granite.
These rocks were chiseled into a uniform size in another quarry, then transported here, and piled up to form a huge castle.
Leylin's black castle is defended with two layers of city walls. The outer wall is slightly lower than the inner wall, and there are a lot of arrow towers and attics on it.
On the outskirts of Fort Black, ditches will be dug to form an extremely spacious moat.
The entire main body of the building is built with granite stone bricks. In the later stage, wizards who are proficient in the use of energy particles of the earth element will be invited to reinforce it, so that the stone gaps can be bridged to form a huge whole. And then there will be some famous engraving masters coming to process.
After it is actually completed, its luxury is probably no less than that of a mortal prince's castle.
In order to complete the Black Fort, a large number of slaves and the people recruited by Leylin worked hard day and night on the construction site.
For these people, the food provided by Leylin was not bad, including black bread and fish soup, these were very rare things for slaves and poor farmers, so most of them worked hard.
"Master, all 10,000 male slaves have been transported. Now some are in the quarry, and the rest are here!"
Gubler followed behind Leylin, like a butler with profound calculations.
Since Leylin used magic stones to pay the bill, he was rich and powerful, and he didn't care too much about the source. He was the best customer of those big slave traders, and the old man worked very hard, so he bought 10,000 slaves very quickly.
This was not a small amount, and it also gave Leylin a deeper understanding of the forces Robin controlled.
"These slaves should also be used properly, and they should be divided into classes. Those who work hard and actively move closer to us can get a small piece of land after the castle is built and become my farmers or soldiers. As for those who are lazy or Those who resist, directly serve as slaves until death or simply kill!"
Leylin said calmly, he had experienced so much anyway, and had rich management experience, the words he said made Gubler nod repeatedly.
"Also, tell me about the progress of the project!"
"My lord, according to this progress, your castle will be completed in the spring of next year, and the total consumption will be about 1.5 million gold coins..."
Gubler just lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then reported a few numbers that could make ordinary kings faint.
"Well! It's okay!"
These are just trivial things, Leylin listened to it and let it go, even, the construction of this black castle is trivial, the truly terrifying thing is still on the blueprint in his hand.
Gubler looked at the blueprint in Leylin's hand with some trepidation.
That was the wizard tower structure designed by Leylin himself.
The entire wizard tower will be made of manlan metal, a solid wizard alloy. There are three floors underground, which are the laboratory, summoning and restraint rooms, and the bottom floor is a huge negative energy reaction pool.
On the ground, the first floor is the living room, the second floor is the owner's bedroom, the library, the third floor is the witchcraft garden and ecological laboratory, the fourth floor is the storage room, the highest floor and the basement. Negative energy pools want to correspond to positive energy reaction pools.
Almost all energy particles have positive and negative attributes, and this energy pool is an expensive energy collection structure that includes most of the energy particle pools.
