Lord of Arcane

Chapter 238 Holy Water Lack of Food
Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but glance at Layton again. Is this guy really a legal talent?

But judging from his contact with Layton, Layton is more like a law enforcer and a judge than a person who makes laws, which is also in line with their teachings.

But anyway, the altar has finally been erected, and other things can take their time.

After recovering Layton, Xia Duo asked, "When will holy water be produced here? And is the capacity a bit small?"

"My lord, as long as the altar is activated, holy water can be continuously produced. If someone prays here, the production speed will be faster and the quality will be higher."

"How does it compare to the holy water sold by the temple?" Xia Duo had never bought holy water from the temple, or even used it.

He was very curious, if the output and quality of the holy water here was good, would it be another source of income for the territory?
If the temple can be sold, of course he can too.

"My lord, this—"

As soon as Leiden hesitated, Xia Duo felt something was wrong, and asked quickly: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly!"

"The altar here is not as good as those in ordinary Savile villages. How can it produce holy water comparable to a temple?" After a pause, Layton continued:

"Besides, most of the holy water in the temple is produced by us. The divine grace should not be wasted. The amount that can be produced every day is very limited."

To be honest, Xia Duo was a little disappointed. It seemed that the sale of holy water could not be done, so he asked again: "Then how far can the holy water produced by this altar go?"

"My lord, the holy water produced here cannot be too far away from the altar, and it only has a weak recovery effect and can be used to clean wounds."

"That's it?" Xia Duo felt that the actual effect of this holy water might not be as effective as his ability to guide positive energy, but fortunately, it was all for nothing, so he didn't need to do anything.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo immediately felt much more at ease.

Just as he was about to leave, Layton reminded: "My lord, we need to arrange for people to replenish clean water from time to time. If there is no clean water, there will be no holy water."

"Ah."

He casually summoned a flow of water and poured it into the pit on the altar, about 2 liters. Immediately afterwards, the energy in the altar circulated and quickly penetrated into the water, forming a dynamic balance.

Xia Duo was thoughtful, it seems that this altar also has energy limitations, it is impossible to convert clear water into holy water indefinitely.

"Let's go, let's talk about it after the vegetation here is cleared."

If there is no accident, this altar will be the center of the long-term stronghold in the future. As for the name of the stronghold, Xia Duo has already thought of it, and it is called Linshui Village.

It feels like a Savile collar wool village, but what a lofty name a small village can have!

……

When they arrived at the landing point, the crew on the Owen had already moved all the supplies, and Qiao Qi was leading people to collect the tools.

In the next few days, Xia Duo personally supervised the labor of the leaders, and then organized the 50 official leaders into five working groups based on their respective performances, and appointed team leaders.

Even the 26 slaves were divided into three groups by Xia Duo, who also appointed group leaders.

As for the 10 members of Qiao Qi's team, they have been converted from reserve soldiers to full-time soldiers, and have taken over the daily security work. After Xia Duo proposed the method of "passing on and leading", they were assigned to Jib's team. .

One by one, Xia Duo gave them half a month to restore their wildness, alertness, and become truly usable people.

After this arrangement, a strange sense of order appeared in this small territory, and the work efficiency was greatly improved.

On this day, Leiden suddenly found Xia Duo who was studying spells, and sent a piece of bad news, "My lord, we don't have enough food."

"Not enough food?" Xia Duo was shocked, "How much is left? Wasn't it enough before? Why is it not enough all of a sudden?"

"My lord—" Layton's expression was a bit resentful, "After the lord grouped the people into groups a few days ago, he set a final elimination system. Now they are all working hard, and their food consumption has nearly doubled."

Xia Duo was a little surprised at the work enthusiasm of the leaders, but this emotion is too easy to mobilize. He just said, let them work so hard because the first four groups are full?

But this also shows that they were all stealing chickens before!

cough--

"The original order remains the same. The first four groups still eat as much as the slave group, and the last group eats as much as the slave group. I will figure out a way to get food."

Now the food in the frontier is all ready-made bread brought from Savile, and some dried bacon, but most of the latter are prepared for Xia Duo.

These days, he has long been tired of eating, either bread or dried meat, and occasionally touched two fruits from the forest, most of them were still sour.

"Lighton, tell the Gibb team to assemble, and hand over the security task to Jockey. They should have made some progress these days!"

"Yes."

Layton responded and went out. Now he is Xia Duo's herald, storekeeper, preacher, and eyes and ears. He is in charge of multiple roles, which shows that Xia Duo has a high opinion of him.

Of course, it’s okay to say squeeze, anyway, he enjoys it.

And here, Xia Duo changed into leather armor, raised his one-handed sword, and came outside the camp. The Jibu team had already assembled.

"My lord!" Ji Bu called, and although the others didn't say a word, they stood neatly in two rows, looked at Xia Duo seriously, and waited for the lord's order.

Today, Xia Duo's testimonies not only affect Qiao Qi and other real people, but also those who are erratic in their positions like Gibb.

"How about Qiao Qi and the others? Can they perform security tasks alone?" Xia Duo asked first.

"Yes, they used to be adventurers, and they are recovering well now!" Gibb said.

"Okay, now you come with me."

Xia Duo walked in front holding his sword, and Ji Bu and others followed closely behind. While walking, Xia Duo ordered, "From now on, your mission is to enter the forest and hunt any living things!"

"Yes!"

Gibb wasn't surprised by this order, on the contrary, he felt that this order came a bit late. The process of human beings developing territory is the process of using swords and magic to ask for land from wilderness and forests.

It's not about good or evil, it's about survival.

When Gibb and the others were on guard before, for the sake of caution, they mostly expelled the alien creatures, but now they are actively killing them, which is also in line with Gibb's intentions.

And these days, because of [Magic Alarm], Xia Duo also has a certain understanding of the regularity of the large creatures nearby.

The main reason for coming out this time is to obtain meat, and of course it is also to introduce the distribution of wild beasts nearby to Gibb so that they can act alone in the future.

And this time the target was a pack of wolves and a bear.

They are the creatures that most often appear in the range of Xia Duo's [Magic Alarm]. Xia Duo has long wanted to get rid of them, but he has been unable to do so.

On the way, Xia Duo said: "The beasts in the forest are inexhaustible. Pay attention to your own safety. You should be more experienced than me in this regard."

"My lord——" Gibb hesitated after hearing this, why would the superior in Savile care about their safety? In the eyes of the superior, there are only task indicators, and if they can't be completed, they have to work hard to complete them.
