I have a shelter

The thunder-like crushing of the shelter's guards made the west quiet for a long time.

And the armaments and construction of the shelter were also intensively arranged in this cold winter.

In George's opinion, those scholars are actually talents. It's just that they have not fully applied the knowledge in many books.

But when these smart heads are combined, and Anthony leads, the shelter has undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few weeks.

The technology of colored glass has been improved-in fact, colored glass has always been quite different from the glass in George's impression. They have higher density, complex process, and many naturally generated bubbles-of course, if they are regarded as handicrafts, this will indeed make them more expressive.

It is indeed suitable to use them as window sashes for churches. But if they are used as greenhouses, it is a bit too luxurious-colored glass that comes from fire and water often has to go through many processes before it can be made. The production efficiency is too low and it consumes too much manpower.

Anthony had already eliminated those processes many times before, and after those scholars brought some new knowledge, a product that Anthony called "rough craftsmanship" appeared in the workshop - real glass.

Compared with colored glaze, the process of glass is greatly simplified, and the output is also much higher. And the lighting can be done better. Although it cannot be compared with the colored glaze called five-color stone in terms of ornamental value, it is what the shelter really needs.

Judging from the current production level, George's idea of ​​covering the entire castle square and planting various vegetables is still impossible, but a small greenhouse has been built near the castle. Anthony and others planted some herbal seeds that are accustomed to low temperatures but need light, and at present, they are growing well.

There is also a small greenhouse near the cemetery. Although the things planted are still mushrooms and herbs, the nutrients are not straw.

-In fact, according to the method of "eternal life and rebirth", these things that grow on the corpses of various terrible creatures absorb nutrients in the stench and evil and grow slowly. It is the raw material of various taboos! In the old world, if those growers were discovered, their bad behavior and the terrible things made with these things would even cause a national shock!

But the effect of herbs is often two-sided. After changing to a certain way of mixing, poison sometimes becomes an antidote - Anthony hopes to develop a good recipe that can always make residents immune to the corruption plague.

However, due to the lack of formulas, many potions are currently under research. The things grown in that greenhouse still need to be handled carefully.

Now the mushrooms that were first planted in the castle are almost ready to be harvested, and the small things on the rotten straw and pine wood have grown quite big. After having these planting experiences, scholars have set their sights on the farmhouses of those subjects.

These mushrooms taste good and are very nutritious, and now they have been valued by scholars.

Almost every farmhouse has a cellar, which adds up to a considerable number. The only thing that cannot be compared with the castle basement is ventilation - and the cold wind will become more suitable after passing through the castle workshop.

But the farmhouse cellar can still maintain above 10 degrees in this winter. For the mushrooms selected by scholars, they can grow well at such a temperature, but the yield is not as high as that in the castle.

But the yield of these mushrooms is far beyond George's imagination - in his impression, the highest yield is always potatoes and sweet potatoes.

According to Anthony's estimate, if these 'double spore goose head fragrant pine mushrooms' are managed properly, the yield per mu is enough to reach more than 1,000 kilograms. Although the area of ​​each cellar is not too large, if each farmhouse is planted, these mushrooms will be able to supplement one-third of the daily food consumption of the shelter.

In addition to food, the territory's iron ingot stock has reached 30 tons - part of them comes from the scrap iron collected from various manors and Gavi's contribution. The other part was begged from Elizabeth.

Enough to arm another 3,000 militiamen, or 1,000 armored elites.

However, although the soldiers are not yet assembled, the forging of equipment is in progress. In addition, the armor of the knights that is not up to the fearless standard and the old equipment on the soldiers also need to be recast, which also requires some iron.

The knights' armors were mostly modified from old armors because they were rushed. Although they look good, they actually weigh 20-30 kilograms and are made of wrought iron. This is quite different from the fearless armor (50 kilograms) worn by the red knights.

As for the soldiers, many of them are still wearing the lords' equipment, which has varying degrees of protection and looks very mixed, which also brings some trouble to the maintenance of the equipment.

It is easy to recast the knights' armor, but the soldiers' will probably have to change their clothes.

George and Anthony consulted the soldiers' equipment and various documents for a while, and finally combined the opinions of various knights to develop a new standard armor named "Storm".

This armor is actually a combination of chain mail and plate armor. It uses plate armor for protection on the shoulders, chest, arms, and the front of the thighs (the feet and calves are still greaves)-after carving the divine pattern, the protective power has not only been greatly improved, but also looks extraordinary.

In the future, after scholars are freed up, plate armor can also be enchanted - this task will be a thousand times more complicated if it is placed on mail armor.

The total weight of this set of equipment has reached 30 kilograms, and it is a real heavy armored infantry equipment. Equipped with a large oak shield, the corpse swarm cannot shake the heavy infantry array at all, and even if someone is pulled into the corpse swarm, ordinary monsters will be helpless with these iron cans for a while.

Thanks to the alchemy furnace, the metals used in these armors are all made of real good stuff - the new alchemy furnace has long been put into use, and this "product of the last century" as Anthony calls it is far stronger than the two of Johannes. An old antique. With this alchemy furnace as a reference, the other two furnaces were quickly transformed.

The iron ingots in the shelter always have a lot of impurities, which greatly affects the quality. But the alchemy furnace only has enough high temperature, and as long as various gems and crystals are slightly mixed, and such a small amount is added, the steel element structure in the alchemy furnace can be adjusted!

Although the new metal is far better than wrought iron, it is only similar to ordinary steel and cannot reach the level of alloy. But they can still maintain excellent ductility at low temperatures, and have difficulty conducting temperature (+ice/fire resistance). The first batch of products were produced according to the formula of the great bachelor of Yongfeng City, and the effect that could be achieved was about +5 ice/fire resistance.

According to Anthony, this recipe is completely passed down from generation to generation and passed down based on experience. Although the bachelors in each department have made some improvements, their understanding of knowledge is not thorough enough, and they are completely blind.

"If my apprentice comes up with something like this, I will definitely slap him in the face - ruby ​​is a symbol of the royal family, but alchemy does not mean that the more money you spend, the better the result will be."

Finally, after Anthony analyzed it, he adjusted the formula - not only reduced the proportion of some red and emerald stones (reducing the cost), but the final metal product also reached the level of +8 ice/fire resistance.

"We have too little malachite, otherwise if we use them to replace a small part of the emeralds, the properties of the metal will have more wonderful changes." Anthony said: "Your deposit is still too small," only four hundred The elemental energy provided by the carat gem is only enough to adjust four hundred pieces of armor. "

"Anthony" George looked at the consumption of his savings, and his eyebrows couldn't help but twitched: "Viscount Jeffrey and his vassal properties have been basically burned by you. I am short of money now. Do you have any suggestions?"

"Find a rich woman whose family owns a mine." Anthony raised his eyebrows and said, "Or maybe rob a tomb."

"..."

The new armor does not use cold forging - it is too time-consuming and labor-intensive. Instead, they are produced directly using alchemy furnaces and molds - in the eyes of the old blacksmith, they are a bit rough, but absolutely practical.

Coupled with the work of hundreds of soldiers and young men, on average, each alchemical furnace running at full capacity can produce ten pieces of Dreadnought-level knight armor or twenty pieces of Storm-level infantry heavy armor every day. Such a quantity is enough to make George give up. Part of the quality.

However, at Old Duke's suggestion, George still mobilized 300 strong soldiers to beat and correct the parts that Old Duke was not satisfied with. Then the servants of the Kingdom will take over the last bit of the work.

Now all the knights have been equipped with fearless-level armor, and the new armors of more than 600 soldiers are about to be recast. The new rune language has also begun to be engraved.

After George dismantled the sword that Garvey had asked for, he found that it was only inlaid with a first-level rune called 'Holy Flame'. This may seem a bit stingy, but this rune is one of the most valuable among first-order runes.

Generally speaking, it is a low-end version of the 'Holy Fire' seal. This will be a great supplement for those who are not yet qualified to become Templar Knights. The effect of a 'Holy Flame' sword may be close to that of the 'Breaking Dawn' sword.

But it’s a bit useless for shelters.

So after getting the word of the talisman, George picked up the shelter scroll and began to reorganize. The ratio of 3 to 1 seems a bit too distressing, but after spending more than three hundred points of hope power, all kinds of weird first-order rune words are almost complete, and what he wants most is The one I wanted to get was finally obtained.

Its name is 'Shining', and its value is much lower than that of 'Holy Flame' - when evil approaches, the 'Shining' sword will emit dazzling light (dispels the fog within a 10-step range, making the monsters unable to Escaped form). and burns them (+2 Holy damage/6 seconds).

But what George valued most was the effect engraved on the armor: when attacked by a monster, the shining armor will protect the wearer (+2 health recovery/6 seconds, +5 dark resistance).

The armor of 'dawn' is composed of 'light' and 'shine': the light of dawn will protect the wearer (+2 damage offset, life recovery +5/6 seconds when praying, darkness resistance +15%)

The Dawn Armor combined with the Water of Hope (+10 all resistances) and the lv4 ‘Dawn Blessing’ (+25 all resistances) is enough for the knights to go back and forth in the corrupting black fire of the devil.

Coupled with the dissolving potions and antidote potions prepared by Anthony, the knights can handle most situations.

It has been more than two months since the first snow. With the six or seven hundred refugees who have fled to the shelter, the hope power of the shelter is about to recover to 5,000 (not counting the 300 points consumed by the combination rune).

At present, all storm armors have been engraved with "Shining", and all fearless armors have been replaced with Dawn Armor (combining Dawn Armor with second-level runes does not improve the damage offset and life recovery, but it can add an additional resistance according to the engraving method. After thinking about it, George did not waste it).

There are still 2,000 hope power left, half of which was used by George to baptize all those who were already wearing white robes but had not been baptized. He mobilized another 180 hopes and comprehended "Justice of the Seal of Dawn (Part 2)".

After teaching Jack, George asked them to learn from each other. Compared with the Holy Fire, "Justice" is more difficult to learn. Many people must pray to understand it, and two wishes can often only achieve the effect of one.

Some people had to comprehend it five or six times before they succeeded. It seems that for Martin, this guy, it is really difficult to understand the matter of ‘justice’.

However, after strangling a large number of monsters, the current prayers in the shelter are very sufficient (30,000+). This makes most of the more than 100 knights’ ‘holy fire’ and ‘justice’ comprehended to the second level.

The remaining 1,000 hopes were comprehended by George into ‘Heavenly Guardian’ (1,000 hopes), and its effect is very simple - invincible.

However, it is not easy to teach others this thing. At present, other people have basically made no progress. George estimated that only the Red Robe Knights, heroes who are truly recognized by the Light of Dawn, may comprehend it.

If they cannot comprehend it, they have to use the method of guiding hope to make them realize it.

This is also true for ‘Heavenly Arms’ (1,000 hopes), not to mention Heavenly Salvation (10,000).

“I have almost prepared everything. When are you going to leave?” Looking at the busy people coming and going inside and outside the castle, Anthony patted the two soldiers at the gate who had changed into new equipment and followed George to the town.

He always felt that if some mithril was added to those armors, it would be more perfect.

George seemed not to hear Anthony's words, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Still thinking about the letter?"

"Well, do you think I need to accept the earl's New Year invitation?"

"No way, George, it depends on you." Anthony felt a little speechless. He really didn't know why this guy had so much trust in that person: "According to your words, what is this called throwing meat buns at dogs?"

"You have misunderstood a little, Anthony." George sighed: "I just think it is necessary to find out Elizabeth's attitude towards this matter-if we rashly go to the north and encounter an attack in the rear, I am afraid things will be a bit difficult to deal with."

"What you said does make sense. It doesn't matter. Anyway, she only invited you. You write the will, and Martin should still be able to succeed you. Well, Baron Gavi is also very good."

Sometimes George really wants to tear his mouth apart.

"I haven't said I'm going yet, you kid, say something auspicious to me." George stood in the town square, looking at the lively atmosphere, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Today is the Ice and Snow Festival! Let's go, Anthony, we are here to relax today, don't talk to me about these serious things - those hot girls in the tavern have been talking about you every day these days." George shook the pockets on his waist and laughed.

"Who wants to go with you!" Anthony said with a red face and staring eyes.
