Celestial Mage

Chapter 229 Dreaming of a Fairy Tale Town (24)

Three in the afternoon.

The rangers found a high ground with a wide view and steep terrain.

The highland is in the shape of a semicircle, and the three sides are very high, more than 20 meters long. They are all quite smooth stone walls, which are difficult to climb, and only one side is a gentle slope.

It is a dangerous place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The military aspect is in charge of Chapolet.

He yelled: "The horse-drawn cart first, then the ox cart. The ox cart forms a half circle at the bottom of the slope to form a temporary retaining wall."

"The gap between the bullock carts must be small, so that people cannot pass by."

"Yes, just do it."

Soon, a temporary rest camp was completed.

More than 2 people rested on the hillside. At the top were the mages headed by Rosen, then the political officials and the Silver Moon Rangers, and then there were more than 2 people from the New Moon Territory, and then there were ox carts. parapet.

Subsequently, Chapolet planned to install defensive planks outside the ox cart parapet according to the traditional defense method.

At this time, Rosen rushed over with the mage.

"Uncle, let us help."

Looking at the mage who rushed over, Xia Bolai was a little confused: "These are rough jobs, how can you help?"

Rosen smiled slightly, waved his hands towards the nearly 300 mages behind him, and shouted: "Guys, open Lord Chapolei's eyes."

The young mages responded in unison: "Obey, Mayor!"

Then, the mages began to build the petrified city wall in front of the bullock cart parapet according to the petrified building technique practiced in Philander Village.

I saw mages casting spells in groups of four in tacit cooperation with each other.

At a dizzying speed, they built a section of tall stone blocks, and then these stones were quickly and tightly connected together to form a stone city wall.

The whole process lasted about two hours.

Two hours later, the sun set, the sky was dark, and the petrified city wall was fully formed.

The city wall is 400 meters long, 8 meters high, the foundation is [-] meters thick, and the top floor is [-] meters wide.

Even better, because of the petrified material, the color of the petrified wall is basically the same as the ground, and behind the city wall is an upward slope, so there is a kind of invisible effect.

When the light is dim, the difference between the stone wall and the slope cannot be clearly seen from a little distance. You have to run within hundreds of meters to find the abnormality.

Chapolei on the side was already stunned.

"Rosen, are you building a fortress?"

With just one night of temporary rest, such a stone wall can be built for more than half a year, plus the materials on the bullock cart are full.

Rosen laughed: "Just in case."

The main reason is that the cost is extremely small, it is nothing more than tiring, but if it is used, it can greatly reduce the loss.

After all, this place is in the wilderness, and there are rebels in the mountains, and Fubosi and Faerun are sworn enemies.

It's always good to be prepared.

After everything was arranged, it was completely dark.

Many piles of bonfires were set up on the slope for heating. There were large pots on top of the bonfires. Potatoes, noodle cakes and a little bacon strips were boiled in the pots, and a little salt was added. After boiling, a strong food aroma would emerge.

More than 2 Crescent citizens gathered around the bonfire in groups based on the original rural areas, enjoying this rare comfort.

Over the past month or so, these farmers have had enough to eat and drink, and they haven't worked much.

Everyone has gained weight, the old men have gained weight, the faces of the young girls and old women have become round, their breasts have grown, and their complexions have improved.

The children also all jumped up and down.

It is also completely conceivable that when the days are completely settled down, Xinyue Town should usher in a fairly violent baby boom, and the population is estimated to increase by several thousand at once.

At the top of the slope, the carriage circled around again, and there were also many bonfires lit in the circle.

This is the resting place of mages and silvermoon rangers.

The core staff of Crescent Town sat around one of the bonfires.

The males were Rosen, Xia Bolai, Harrick, Mage Howl, and Knight Hamill.

The women include Serrandis, Gendroni, Master Lydia, and Xia Bolai's exclusive female officer, Janiya, who is also his childhood friend.

At this time, the weather is clear, the moon is thin, the campfire is warm, and the big pot on the fire is full of food aroma.

There are also a lot of dried bacon that was grilled in the charcoal fire aside, and it was grilled until it was oily. Whenever the fat fell into the charcoal fire, it would make a 'sizzling' sound.

As a result, the aroma of barbecue in the air became more intense.

Everyone chatted while eating dinner.

After taking a few mouthfuls, Xia Bolai asked, "Rosen, are you really planning to use petrification to build a town?"

Harrick also echoed: "Although I really want to believe in Ni's spell, but after all, it has set a precedent in the Golden Land, and I always feel a little flustered."

Rosen was using the hands of a master to peel tender shredded meat from a golden-roasted venison leg. After peeling a bowl full, he handed it to his good sister.

"Two uncles, I won't talk about the performance of the petrification technique, but let's talk about the construction cost."

"On the high ground, a small two-story building made of stone and clay, with an area of ​​half a ram, usually requires a dozen people to work hard and spend three to four months to complete."

"In Silvermoon Castle, such a stone building doesn't count as a premium, nor does it talk about the land price. It only costs materials and labor, and it will cost about 300 kroner."

Harrick took a sip of the mead and nodded in agreement.

"Rosen's estimate is reasonable, even a bit cheaper. In the past year, there have been two major purchases, and the cost of materials has risen sharply. Now I am afraid that 400 crowns will not be enough."

Rosen opened his mouth, took the tender meat strip Serrandis handed to his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, then changed his mind.

"But to build a stone house with the same function using the petrification technique, as long as you hire four mages who are proficient in petrochemical construction techniques, it can be built in at most three days, and the cost is 50 crowns."

As soon as the words came out, Xia Bolai smacked his lips, quite disbelieving.

"Oh~ this sounds like a dream!"

The mage Hal at the side sighed softly, his face full of emotion.

"I thought it was a dream before, but now, I can only say that this is the power of knowledge."

Lydia looked at Rosen: "Master Rosen, I heard from Gaius that you still plan to use petrification to build a dam? Is it too risky?"

Rosen nodded and said, "Indeed. But what I want to build is a gravity dam."

"That is to say, even if the petrification technique is completely dispelled, relying on the adhesive properties and weight of the soil itself, it can easily block the reservoir to store water, so as to ensure that there will be no disaster of dam failure."

Lydia's eyes lit up when she heard it: "Ah~ I don't have any worries after you say that."

Master Hal also understood, and he said softly: "There is a reservoir upstream, and through the petrochemical pipelines buried underground, the water can be diverted all the way to the town. The town will not have to worry about water at all."

Rosen nodded: "That's exactly what I thought."

The drinking water project is actually implemented, and the details are also very particular.

But Rosen has already thought up a whole set of plans for the town's water system.

Harrick smiled and said, "I feel that Crescent Town will be very beautiful, and I'm already looking forward to it."

Rosen laughed too.

After taking a few sips of the thick broth, he described the beautiful town in his mind in a low tone.

"I am going to build a beautiful, spacious, clean, green town full of sunlight and the fragrance of flowers."

"The streets of the town are spacious and flat, the buildings along the road are bright and warm, and the residents of the town are all strong and healthy."

"No one defecates in the street, there will be no black mud on the street, and there will be no sour smell in the air."

"There are people cleaning the street every day, and there are people tending the trees and gardens along the street."

"There are various pipelines in the ground, some of which bring in clean water from the upper reaches, some of which drain rainwater, and some of which are dedicated to the discharge of filth."

"There will also be more warm bathrooms in the town, so that the townspeople can take a lot of baths to wash away the dust and sweat, and also get rid of fleas and bedbugs, so that the room will not be full of stinky smells when the room is crowded, and there is no need to worry about fleas scurrying around. .”

Gendroni whispered softly with longing on her face.

"Ah~ It's like a fairy tale town."

Serrandis also looked forward to it: "It feels like pearls embedded in the earth."

Others were also infected by the scene described by Rosen, and each one was full of anticipation.

But Rosen's words changed immediately.

"The above is the most ideal situation, but to truly realize the ideal, you must make extraordinary efforts."

"Fobos, Faerun, monsters in the Snowfall Mountains, and even ice dwarves in the Frost Land may hinder the emergence of this ideal scene."

"What I wait for the mage to do is to use wisdom and knowledge to light a burning torch to dispel the darkness condensed by barbarism and greed!"

The soldiers present didn't feel anything, but the mages were all ignited by Rosen's words, and felt a rush of hot blood flowing in their chests.

Hal couldn't help but said, "Rosen, maybe one day, Crescent Town will become a sacred place for mages."

When he said that, Lydia smiled slightly.

"The holy name of the holy place is created by people. If a great mage can be born in Crescent Town, it will really become a holy place."

While speaking, she turned her gaze to Serrandis: "I think Mrs. Philander is very likely to break through the master cliff within ten years."

Xia Bolai joined in the fun and shouted: "It doesn't take ten years, I think five years is enough!"

Serrandis at this time is Anna.

She was dignified and reserved, her white jade-like cheeks were as delicate and beautiful as a flower reflected by the bonfire, she smiled slightly when she heard the words, and then, like a bright moon shining brightly, she eclipsed all the people around her.

She smiled humbly: "I dare not say how long it will take to break through, as long as I can break through, I will be extremely satisfied."

The voice was delicate and gentle, so that everyone subconsciously fell silent, for fear that their rudeness would offend the beauty.

After dinner, everyone went back to sleep in their carriages.

The bright moon carriage is very spacious. After the chairs are put away and the bedding is put on, there is a big bed more than two meters long and three meters long.

Although it is not as good as the bed at home, it is not crowded to sleep three people.

Before going to sleep, Gendeloni suddenly took out a small wooden box and handed it to Rosen: "Honey, we have prepared a small gift for you."

"What? A magic weapon?" Rosen was very surprised.

Serrandis explained: "You have been busy in the territory for the past few days, I came up with a new idea, and Jenny built a good magic weapon based on this idea."

"I call it the Inner Amplification Bracelet, which can temporarily increase the polarity of flame or gravity by 40% as needed."

Rosen was surprised: "So strong?"

Although the higher the basic strength of the spell, the stronger the marginal effect, the situation of increasing the power of the polar cube has long ceased to exist in the middle level.

But increasing the polarity value by 40% is enough to more than double the power of the middle-level spells corresponding to the polarity.

Gendroni looked dissatisfied: "It's good, but it consumes a lot of materials. The top-quality moonstone at the core of the bracelet will crack after ten times of use."

That said, this stuff is expensive.

But for Rosen now, this is no longer a big problem.

So, he kissed the cheeks of the two girls, one big and one young, and then opened his big hands, wrapping the warm and soft bodies of the two girls in his arms.

"I am very happy to receive such a gift."

"Now, let's start meditating."

Gathering meditation is already very proficient, and the three of them quickly entered the best state.

After a pass of meditation, both women yawned and fell asleep.

Rosen didn't feel sleepy, he closed his eyes and sank into the virtual machine, and began to get familiar with this powerful magic weapon he got by accident.

When the camp gradually fell into silence, in the mountains to the north of the highland, a large group of dark shadows were approaching the highland by the moonlight.

When they got close to the high ground and there were still four miles away, a tall man in the lead suddenly raised his hand and shouted.

"Stop, rest in place for three hours, eat dry food and drink water, and wait for midnight to come!"

A large group of black shadows of different sizes stopped together, sat on the ground, ate and drank, and recovered their strength.

Three hours passed quickly, midnight fell, and the world became extremely silent.

The tall man turned his head to look at a masked man in a gray hat beside him.

"Mr. Master, is it your turn?"

The masked man has thick white hair and looks very old.

He nodded slightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's almost there."
