I have a shelter

‘According to the scriptures, the burst attack of this stigma can be controlled. In addition to the swinging power of the arm, the damage can be reduced by dispersing part of the power of the stigma. So from this point of view, this is a good flying hammer for capturing prisoners. Well, I can try it out after I’m done. ’

George continued to read down and checked the other descriptions of the stigma:

[Element type description: You have discovered the element type of the first attribute. There are more such materials in the library of heaven. ]

George raised his eyebrows slightly, opened the column of the archive on the scroll, and looked for descriptions of the element categories.

Currently, he can check 6 types of damage: holy, dark, fire, ice, poison, and electricity.

Among them, holy damage ignores armor; dark damage will deepen the wound and reduce the effects of various treatments; fire has a lasting effect, ice will slow people down and even freeze them; poison will make people weak and continue to damage life, and electricity will paralyze people.

After observing these types of damage, he found that his attributes also had an additional [resistance].

In certain environments, nature will weaken/increase people's resistance. For example, within the range of the shelter, all resistances are +10. If you leave the shelter and are in the fog, the dark resistance will be -5.

'I have only purified the shelter once before, and the people have been going back and forth in the fog, but no one has ever been sick. Including some children who were originally a little weak, they are becoming healthier and healthier. It seems that these 10 points of elemental resistance are not as low as I thought'

Regarding the damage attribute, George looked at his "Punish in the Name of the Holy" again and found that its damage is actually holy damage. It's just that the level of the shelter scroll was not enough before, so it was not displayed.

Looking at the three Lv1 mantras of "Holy Hymn", "Holy Name Should Be Praised" and "Stigmata", George touched his chin and thought about it, and finally upgraded 100 wishes to "Stigmata".

Obviously, although "Punish in the Name of the Holy" is more powerful, if there are companions around, the benefits of "Stigmata" are higher. In battle, 1 minute is enough to hit an enemy two or three times. Even if you use a javelin and only hit once. Then six people will get six points of extra damage.

Although this may be a drop in the bucket for powerful creatures like giants, it is better than nothing.

After thinking about it, George consumed 100 points of prayer and increased the power of the "Stigmata".

[True Word Hymn "Stigmata" Lv2:]

[1. Blessing feature: Through blessing, the sacred power is infused into the weapons of surrounding partners (within 20 meters, up to 12 people), and the enemy is judged (basic damage + 2*mana sacred damage (up to 2 mana), lasting 2 minutes or 6 attacks]

[2. Burst feature: As a medium of blessing, the weapon in the hands of the chanter will be specially blessed, making the weapon in your hand like a holy spirit. You can not only use this stigmata power continuously, but also burst out the power of the stigmata at one time-basic damage + 4*mana sacred damage (up to 2 mana), +15% hit rate.]

Next Each upgrade is 1,000 wishes.

‘If I concentrate on upgrading this hymn, it may be possible to upgrade it again after a while. I wonder if the lv3 stigma will produce other changes. ’

George can already see that the victory boasted by the followers last night is becoming less and less illusory.

But the most critical node is still with Jack.

Everything depends on the news brought back by the scouts, otherwise the difficulty of the plan will increase several times

Thinking of this, George secretly prayed for Jack, hoping that he would return safely at night.

With a sigh, George put away the scroll and walked towards another place in the castle.

There is nothing to deal with the giants there. Things, but there are some things that can make him let go of depression and feel comfortable.

The family's biggest treasure is there.

Thinking of the treasure, George shook his head speechlessly, quickened his pace, and after passing through several corridors, he came to the semi-basement led by the servants.

After passing the inner kitchen and storage room, George came to another stone staircase. After going down, he pushed open the thick door and came to the wine cellar.

Although this wine cellar is far smaller than the one under the winery, fifty or sixty fifty-gallon oak barrels (one barrel is about 300 bottles) have made it a little crowded. But the wine stored is all 4 and a half years old.

These wines are not The vintage is high, and all of them are distilled high-proof wines. Otherwise, even with Johannes' storage technology, they will become sour after being left for too many years.

Unlike the wines placed in the winery, these wines are picked from the best fields in Johannes, and are often picked when they mature on the tree and become semi-dehydrated by the sun.

At this time, the grapes are rich in sugar, and those with full and bright colors are selected. After brewing, they are specially fired.

At this time, the wine is transparent in color and strong in taste, and can even be ignited. After being placed in oak barrels and stored for three and a half years, the color is like amber, crystal clear and bright, and the taste is mellow and fragrant.

They are not considered golden wines because they are not considered specialty products. However, this kind of aged wine from the Black Pearl Valley is the most famous, so the price is generally two or three levels higher than that of other places.

This kind of name on the mainland is more complicated. The literal translation means "burning wine". (Just translate it as ‘brandy’. Brandy also means ‘burning wine’.)

Of course, these are Johannes's brandies of the highest quality.

In addition to the wine contained in these 50-gallon barrels, there are three or four 25-gallon small barrels.

Unlike those high-quality wines, they are aged wines that have not been distilled and are also produced in special fertile fields. However, the conditions for brewing are extremely harsh - the grapes must grow mold in the heavy fog of the pine forest. When the mold penetrates the grape skin, and then is exposed to the sun, the water naturally evaporates, and the grapes can be harvested in a semi-rotted and shriveled state.

And even because the time of Pythium infection is different, when picking, you have to judge the maturity and pick them one by one!

Therefore, it often takes eight vines to produce a bottle of such wine. And because the harvest is late, a certain amount of humidity is required, so it is best to be in a mountainous area with rivers, where fog and sunshine are balanced, otherwise it will be difficult to fully rot and dry up. And if there is heavy rain and the humidity is too high, the grapes will lose their sweetness and they will be ruined again!

After being brewed, the wine is often stored in ancient oak barrels for ten years before it matures.

At this time, the color of the wine is like golden liquid, thick and fine, like honey. It is famous all over the world for its sweet aroma. It has a full body, rich and complex aroma, elegant and round taste, and more importantly, it has no trace of sweetness or sourness!

On average, the entire Johannes only supplies this barrel of wine to the outside world every year! This barrel of wine will be sent to the viscounty, and then to the earldom, and will eventually be sent to the palace.

They are the Black Pearl Special and the Golden Wine.

Unfortunately, Johannes only has a small piece of special fertile land, and not many are qualified to produce golden wine. Those that come out of the cellar every year are basically shipped to other territories to pay off debts. Therefore, the gin wine and even brandy on the market do not have the word "Johannes" written on the place of production.

Instead, there is the 'Rose Manor' - the territory of the Countess.

In fact, not only most of the fine wines will eventually be collected by the countess. And most of the special farmland in the entire Black Pearl Valley also belongs to her. It’s just that she likes red wine and spirits best, and the recipe is not inferior to gold wine. Therefore, golden wine is rarely brewed. The amount of golden wine produced every year is about the same as that of all the lords of the Black Pearl Valley combined.

George touched all the wine barrels one by one. Different from the last time when he stopped by to check the food, looking at these large barrels and small barrels of wine, George no longer had disgust in his eyes. Instead, there were those sparkling eyes. of gold coins.

‘This medium barrel brandy special brew is 50 gallons and can be divided into 300 bottles. Even in normal times, according to the wholesale shipping price of the place of production, a barrel is worth 300 silver foxes, which is enough to exchange for a set of armor! But now, I don't have to hide them secretly because of those creditors. ’ George pursed his lips, his eyes burning.

His father once told him that the wine saved from between the teeth is the hope of the family's future turnaround. Now, they have finally been saved for the time when they are really needed.

‘As long as it survives the giant disaster, these wines are the hope for the shelter to take off.’ George could imagine that the resources obtained through trade would definitely allow the shelter to develop rapidly within a period of time. And at that time, he could even make each of his soldiers equipped according to the standards of a knight!

"As for those small barrels," George's eyes flickered, and finally he took his hand back from the golden wine.

He will definitely not sell these small barrels easily in the future, because they are a rare commodity - where is the sun now? And who has the conditions to spend ten years to get a barrel of such wine? So if you sell one barrel, you will lose one barrel. For some guys who are addicted to alcohol, it is not something that can be measured by gold and silver coins. So grit your teeth and save them for greater use.

With the last two shining glances at the wine, Grandet's desire was finally satisfied. Afterwards, he patted his butt and walked out of the room.

After returning to the main hall, I looked at the sky and estimated that it would be noon in an hour or two. George simply took long strides and walked straight to the fields outside.

In the past few days of harvesting, the fields around the shelter have basically been harvested. Looking around, the mist is full of busy figures.

‘Without the influence of monsters, these territorial citizens are very efficient and have harvested more than two hundred acres of fields. An average of about one hundred acres a day, it seems that those old people and peasant women are not much worse than men. ’ George took a look at the scroll and found that the current food supply in the territory was close to three thousand. Compared with the initial number, it has increased by more than ten times! This is undoubtedly very exciting news.

Seeing the lord strolling around, the citizens were very excited. Many people put down their work and wanted to come to pray and repent - seeking psychological comfort from the priest.

After dealing with it for a while with some headache, George found an excuse and headed in one direction, deep into the fog.
