Chapter 214： : Construction frenzy, Mariel arrives

Zong Shen returned to the room, took off his armor and equipment and fell asleep.

As for the three gold nuggets, their mouths were gagged, they were hung under the elemental arrow tower, and they were constantly whining.

But no one took care of them at all. The soldiers should rest and continue to rest, and the patrol should keep patrolling. No one cared about these gold nuggets.

Strictly speaking, Zong Shen's territory was slayed in blood and fire in a serious way, and several of these Heavenly Commander-level monsters were wiped out by them.

In comparison, the small gold nuggets are nothing at all. They dare to be so disrespectful to the lord, and it is not surprising to get such a fate. Everyone seems very calm about it and doesn't care at all.

It was a good dream, and Zong Shen woke up at 6 o'clock in the morning the next morning.

With the improvement of physical fitness, his need for sleep is getting lower and lower.

The first thing Zong Shen did when he got up was to untie the bandage and check the wound under his ribs.

Now, the wounds under his ribs and back are all scabs, and the healing speed of this wound is terrifying fast.

Zong Shen re-applied some Moon God spring water on the wound and changed a new bandage.

After treating the wound, he got up and got out of bed and put on the equipment.

Today, he didn't count the far door, he was going to deal with the affairs of the territory, and build some of the architectural blueprints he had on hand.

Then organize a hunting team to take the initiative to wipe out the crypt monsters around the territory.

In fact, there are not many lords who are as leisurely as Zong Shen. Even if most lords can rely on their territories, terrain and defensive buildings to resist, the battle is extremely fierce. It is almost non-stop fighting day and night. Only occasionally. Take a nap.

Where can you be like Zong Shen, not only able to go out and explore, but also to sleep leisurely in the lord's small building.

But there is one thing to say, the battle pressure Zong Shen faces is not comparable to that of ordinary lord.

On the one hand, it is because he directly rounded a crypt with a single swipe, and on the other hand, it has something to do with the size of the territory. The larger the territory and the larger the population, the greater the attraction to crypt monsters.

The whole is still in a relatively balanced state. As long as you go all out, you will definitely gain something after the crisis. The strong will gain from the strong, and the weak will gain from the weak. At least the overall trend is a steady progress, as if there is a pair. The invisible hand is constantly promoting the progress of the lords.

Zong Shen rinsed for a while, and the mages took turns entering the magic hall to practice meditation under his privilege, and everyone else was in their respective positions.

Under the leadership of Dutra, the kobolds gather stones near the territory. More than two hundred kobolds are scattered around the territory. These kobolds are stronger than the farmer and possess a certain fighting power. Shen's professional soldiers were compared, but they were much better than those of farmers.

Faced with monsters wandering from various crypts, they were even able to counterattack under Dutra's leadership. While collecting, they also killed many crypt monsters.

So far, all the defensive towers have been completed, except for the Tier 3 elemental arrow tower in the lord’s courtyard, which is being upgraded. The defense capability of the territory has been greatly improved, and it can be easily solved even in the face of captain-level gargoyles. NS.

For the increasing pressure of the crypt challenge, the best way to deal with it is to increase the defense capability of the territory and the number of soldiers in a targeted manner.

Zong Shen twisted his neck, moved his body, remembering that some of the architectural drawings he had obtained in the mine hadn't been checked yet.

There is also a complete building with a Tier 4 giant turret that can be built. It is a rare-level special defense structure. Although the attack requires mana energy, it can cause effective damage to large-scale enemies and provide a range of 3,500 meters. The top view inside is an absolute territorial defensive weapon.

Zong Shen turned over and took out six drawings, five of which were architectural drawings and one was manufacturing drawings.

He clapped his hands and mastered all the five drawings, and then he began to check the attributes of these drawings one by one. With the development of the territory, the demand for some functional buildings became more and more exuberant.

For example, bathhouses, canteens, medical halls, and even buildings for exercise and relaxation have potential needs, which need to be gradually improved and resolved.

The few architectural drawings that I have just mastered can meet part of the functional requirements.

Groundwater sources are often cleaner than surface water sources. Building deep wells can increase the water supply of the territory.

The five construction drawings are all very practical buildings. Whether it is a bathhouse, a training ground or a cold storage, they have a great effect. Unfortunately, Zong Shen has not enough primary water runes and fire runes, and he needs to collect them.

Now he can afford to build only the first-tier training ground and the first-tier city gate.

In addition to these architectural drawings, Zong Shen has a manufacturing drawing on hand.

Blue water purification device manufacturing drawings

Quality: Excellent blue

Manufacturing time: 1 hour 36 minutes

The water purification device can purify the water quality, remove impurities and poisons in the water, and need to replace the water runes regularly

Primary water rune purification life: 120 hours

The security of water resources needs to be taken seriously, especially in times of war. Crazy opponents often attack the water sources in the territory.

This thing is a water purification device that can filter water resources and ensure the safety of water quality.

However, it will not be used in a short time. After the rune becomes rich, it can be used to filter the water in the territory.

Among these drawings, Zong Shen can only build training grounds and city gates. Bathhouses need water runes and fire runes, cold storage needs ice magic gems and water runes, and even water wells and water purifiers need water. Runes, the gap in runes is really too big.

Zong Shen shouted through the communication crystal to San Fat and brought a few farmers, and first came to the south of the lord's courtyard.

Place the Tier 4 giant turret next to the guard tower.

As long as it is not charged, the giant turret will not be automatically activated, and the giant turret will be turned off at ordinary times, because the explosion damage does not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and the automatic attack is likely to damage the territory.

There is also a large area of ​​open space to the south of the courtyard, which is just to house some new buildings.

Anyway, the internal planning surrounding the small courtyard is temporarily like this. When the crypt challenge is over, Zong Shen will open the territory to expand, and at the same time carry out the planning of the large area, and finally the layout and construction of the large city wall, forming the embryonic form of a large territory and city.

Zong Shen placed a first-level training field on the open space to the south and asked a farmer to start construction on the spot. Then he went to the residential area and upgraded 9 of the 35 newly built sheds to a second-level residential building. , So there are a total of 30 second-level houses in the territory.

Several rows of houses are neatly arranged in the territory, and they have gained a bit of popularity.

Then he came to the farmland again, and placed 2 more junior fertile land beside the original 8 junior fertile land, which was also a blueprint drawn in the mine.

At this time, there are a total of 10 primary fertile fields. The wheat, potatoes, and tomatoes that were previously planted have already grown. In the primary farmland with the growth bonus effect, the growth rate of crops is much faster than that of the earth.

I believe that in the past few months, I will be able to eat the food, fruits and vegetables grown in the territory.

After dealing with the farmland, Zong Shen came to the gap in the four walls, removed the roadblocks, and began to build the city gate.

Four city gates were placed in the gaps originally reserved, and those roadblocks were all moved out and blocked on both sides of the city gates.

The fifth round of construction frenzy has officially started, and each round of construction can make the territory more perfect.

From a lonely dilapidated small courtyard, it gradually became a perfect territory with city walls, arrow towers, houses, pastures, farmland and other buildings. Now the territory has finally taken on something.

He also had three blood-swallowing man-eating flower seeds in his hand. He was going to plant one by the gate of the city to the north, and the other two at the gate of the lord's courtyard.

At this moment, Colby riding a prairie wolf suddenly ran over from the east of the territory.

"My lord, there is a carriage coming towards our territory from east to west. Is it necessary to pick up or intercept it?

He reported a situation to Zong Shen.

"Carriage? It should be Mariel."

"I'll go and see with you!"

Zong Shen waved his hand to allow Colby to lead the way. He himself ran wildly behind the giant wolf on foot, but he did not fall behind. His agility and running allowed him to compete with the giant wolf in a short time.

When you came to the west of the territory, you could see a carriage approaching at an even speed. There was no attack by the crypt monsters along the way. It should be an aboriginal force.

About seven or eight minutes later, the carriage came to the gate and stopped.

The door opened and the potbellied Master Mars walked down first, then turned around and helped Mariel get out of the carriage. He saw Zong Shen's smile on his face, and he was also looking at the territory in front of him.

The crypt challenge is arranged by the lord system. The aborigines cannot see the crypt monsters, nor will they be attacked by the crypt monsters. They are as if they are in two parallel worlds.

Therefore, it is impossible to use the aboriginal forces to resist the crypt monsters.

Of course, if you are willing to abandon your territory and hide in the influence of the aborigines, you can indeed save your life, but the territory will also be completely destroyed.

In particular, the lord’s courtyard will be completely destroyed, and the lord’s authority will be lost forever, thus becoming a free citizen.

Free people will lose the privileges and conveniences of the lord.

But it's not a dead end, there is still a chance to develop one's own power among the aborigines, but this time period may become very long.

Although freedmen are not as good as lords, they are much better than death.

Now there are a handful of free people whose territories have been destroyed among the lords, and these people can only be active between the aborigines and the lords in the future.

However, Zong Shen didn't understand or care about this. It was very cool to be a lord, especially when the generals were established and developed step by step. This sense of accomplishment was simply overwhelming.

After Mariel got out of the carriage, Zong Shen hurried up to meet him.

He shook Master Mars's hand first, and then gently shook Mariel's hand.

Seeing that Mariel's body was trembling slightly, her eyes looked a little apprehensively towards the crypt monsters wandering beyond the range of the arrow tower.

She had joined Zong Shen's territory before, so she could see these monsters.

Although she was not attacked by monsters along the way, she was still frightened.

Hero-level characters do not occupy the dominance value and belong to independent hero-level units.

Zong Shen patted her shoulder comfortingly.

"Don't be afraid, our territory is safe."

"Master Mars welcomes you to my territory!"

He greeted them politely, and then led them through the unfinished city wall, into the territory, and all the way through the pasture to the lord's courtyard.

The coachman who came with him waited outside with the carriage.

When Master Mars passed by the pasture, he saw an awkward and polite smile on his face after seeing the more than one hundred prairie cows and dozens of prairie sheep.

"There are a lot of cattle and sheep in the land of the adults!"

He said suddenly.

Zong Shen nodded as usual.

"Fortunately, these are the spoils obtained from the gangster Carlisle."

"These cattle and sheep are all the loot of the gangster Carlisle, so I brought them back and kept them for myself."

He was speaking solemnly, and Master Mars was a little bit crooked when he heard it.

Although he knew that these cattle and sheep were robbed from his ranch by the gangster Carlisle, he really didn't have much to say.

After Carlisle's hand, this bull and sheep really had nothing to do with Tamars, they belonged to the gangsters and took the loot.

Besides, now that his daughter has posted it in, he naturally wouldn't say anything unpleasant.

Zong Shen took Mars and Mariel to the lord's small building and took a seat at the long table in the lobby on the first floor.

He took out the crafted Highland wine, put on the crystal wine glass that had been washed a long time ago, and poured a glass of wine by himself, even if it was a treat.

After the three of them took a sip of wine, Mariel's fear eased a lot.

Mars put down his glass, hesitated to speak.

"Master Mars just say anything you want to say."

"There are no outsiders here."

Zong Shen smiled and said calmly.

After hearing the words, Master Mars spoke slowly.

"My lord, your territory seems to be in a state that has just been established. There is not much permanent population, and there is no large-scale farming and commerce."

"In addition, you have not obtained the certification of Bangcheng. If this kind of illegal settlement is discovered by Bangcheng, it is easy to be wiped out by the National Knights."

"There are many people who have established this kind of settlement recently, but the scale of those people is not as big as yours."

Master Mars expressed his opinion, and at the same time gave an important piece of information.

That is, the aboriginal forces have begun to notice the appearance of the lords. This situation is consistent with the adjustment of the rules in the previous official period. However, due to the geographical isolation caused by the vast area, the reaction of the aborigines will not be reflected so quickly. .

There is another piece of information, that is, as long as you obtain the certification of Bangcheng, you can become a neutral and legal power. If you want to avoid trouble, you still have to go to Bosbon.

Zong Shen thought for a moment before nodding calmly.

"Indeed, but this is about to develop towards villages and towns, and the current territory can only be regarded as an armed settlement."

"There are not many permanent farmers and laborers, but there are more soldiers."

He said frankly, Master Mars, as a once desolate nobleman, is now a rancher and businessman, and he still has a certain vision and connections.

Zong Shen's original intention was also to use the power of the aborigines to rapidly develop his territory.

Master Mars nodded when he heard the words, looked straight at Zong Shen, stretched out and handed out a five-pointed star-shaped magic token.

My lord, "I will send someone to build a large ranch in your territory in a week. At the same time, I will also introduce some traveling merchants during this time."

"I believe that the adult's territory will be able to develop, so Maryl asks the adults to take care of it."

"In addition, I have a personal request. If you go to Bosbon in the future, please go to Evans's manor. The manor originally belonged to my father's generation, but it was taken over by Evans's father's generation."

"In the wine cellar of the manor, the rune secret door behind the last row of wine cabinets against the wall can be opened with this magic token. It contains part of the wealth left by my fathers and an Avalon knight tester. Refining badges."

"You have space magic items on your body. As long as you can bring them back, I would like to give you half of this wealth."

A task reminder appeared in front of Zong Shen.

Villager of Sitano Village: Mars, invite you to a mission

Accept rejection

Zong Shen heard that there was a task, and decisively chose to accept it.

Task: Retrieve the inheritance of the parents

Requirement: Enter the magic secret room in the wine cellar of the manor and retrieve the wealth left by the fathers of Mars

Reward: Avalon Knight Trial Badge 1, half of this wealth

The reward is not bad, and with the system as the guarantee of the task, Zong Shen can perform it with confidence.

His expression became serious, took the five-pointed star-shaped magic token, and nodded firmly.

"Don't worry, I will make Mariel a strong woman who can be alone."

"When I go to Bosbon, I will look for a chance to take Evans’ manor to see the situation I got Zong Shen’s approval. Mars breathed a sigh of relief and hugged again. He hugged Mariel, and then hurriedly bid farewell.

Zong Shen took Mariel into the carriage personally and watched the carriage go away. Mariel didn't say much, but her eyes were a little moist and her expression was a little low.

The little girl’s heroic dream was always so reckless and brave. She joined Zongshen’s territory alone and became the youngest and most immature hero in the territory.

Zong Shen saw her low look, put a hand behind him, and took out something.

The other hand poked her arm gently.

"Don't be sad, I have a small gift for you."

When she heard Zong Shen's words, Mariel raised her head, with a look of expectation on her face, and said with some embarrassment.

"Big Brother or Lord, do you have any gifts for me?"

"But Mariel hasn't done anything yet"

Zong Shen grinned when he heard the words and stretched out his other hand in front of Mariel.

He opened his palm, revealing the necklace with a green leaf pendant in his palm.

It is the previous necklace of natural affinity, this necklace is very small and fresh in appearance.

Mariel looked at the necklace a little ecstatically. It was an excellent piece of equipment, unmatched by ordinary jewellery, and the gap could be seen with the naked eye.

"Hurry up and take it."

"Do you want me to put it on for you myself?"

Zong Shen smiled and urged, and Mariel blushed and quickly took it over.

Holding the necklace tightly in his hand, he bowed to Zong Shen.

"Thank you"

"Maryl will not let you down!"

Zong Shen nodded with some relief, and led Mariel into the territory again.
