Lord of Hyranza

After the fire burned for most of the day, some thick smoke came out from some cracks in the rocks on the slopes of the entire forest.

The ogre Gullitum simply slept by the entrance of the cave, guarding his bacon every step of the way.

According to Suldak's request, the entrance of the cave here was stuffy until the third day before it was dug up by a group of cavalry. After digging, it was found that the firewood and Thunder Rhino feces piled up at the entrance of the cave were burned to ashes. There is a layer of black smoke oil hanging.

Waiting for the smoke in the cave to clear, the ogre led a group of native archers with sacks on their backs, and happily ran into the dark cave to pick up the smoked carrion.

Under such circumstances, the fourth-level dark bat came out of a crack in the rock, almost desperately pounced on Gulitum, but was shot through by Samira who was guarding the entrance of the cave.

This dark bat is the third level [-] monster that Suldak hunted in the Invercargill Forest.

It was an ice monster. When it bit the ogre brother, it not only sucked his blood, but also froze him with a layer of frost.

If it wasn't for Samira's timely shot, Brother Ogre really wouldn't be the opponent of this giant bat.

Suldak obtained a life magic pattern with blood-sucking attributes from this dark bat, but unfortunately the life magic pattern containing freezing was pierced by Samira's arrow, and the whole magic pattern was completely abolished.

Chapter 903 Tier [-] Magic Pattern Planting Equipment

The first log cabin erected in the mining camp was naturally Surdak's residence.

Suldak, Andrew, Samira, and the ogre Gullitum sat around on the platform built outside the wooden house. This platform had a very wide view and could overlook the entire mine.

Suldak placed the life patterns of the three fourth-level monsters, the cloud-patterned ghost leopard, the boa basilisk, and the dark bat, on the wooden table, and said to Andrew and Samira: "As I said before, your promotion After the second turn, with more bearing capacity, you can also replant a piece of this kind of magic pattern, and now the three magic skins of the fourth-level monsters are very good, you can choose one of each."

The ogre brothers looked at each other, and Gulitum said, "What am I doing with the devil's skin? I don't need..."

"Gulitham is right. Our brothers participated in the hunt for the purpose of eating in one bite." The ogre mage Naohua'er smiled, and then said in a relaxed tone: "...Of course, if you If you want to make up for us...it's not impossible, Duck, can you find me a magic wand? You see, as a magician, I don't even have a magic wand in my hand."

"When we kill an evil mage in the future, we'll grab one of them..." Gulitum muttered.

Suldak said quickly: "Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome. I can ask the merchant Malakom to keep an eye on it for me. What you need is a battle staff."

"Hey, you know me best!" the ogre mage Naohua'er patted Suldak's shoulder with a smile.

"Hey, brother! I don't like your style very much." Gulitum turned his head and said to his good brother Nao Hua'er.

"Okay, okay, let's not make an example, I know, I know!" the ogre mage Naohua'er repeatedly begged for mercy.

Suldak said quickly at this time: "Naohuaer should indeed have a battle staff. Helping you is also helping me. After all, we are in the same group, aren't we?"

Gulitham sat there with some embarrassment, and said bluntly: "It was agreed at the beginning, we eat all kinds of delicacies from all over the world, I am not greedy for other things, just like I like to reason with others, and I don't like to fight... ..."

"Everyone knows that you are an ogre who loves food and reason." Suldak stood up to pat Gulitum's thick shoulder.

Then he said to Samira and Andrew: "Then... it's up to you to choose. The magic patterns of these fourth-level monsters are very suitable for you. Of course, you can also wait for better ones."

Samira and Andrew looked at each other, and Andrew said to Samira: "Ma'am first..."

Samira was also not polite, her eyes turned back and forth between the cloud-patterned ghost leopard and the python newt basilisk, a little hesitant.

She is a cheerful half-elf, and she quickly made a decision for herself, choosing the spirit bone of the cloud-patterned ghost leopard.

This is a magic pattern that mainly increases speed, while slightly increasing strength, and also has camouflage skills. It is almost tailor-made for half-elf archers.

Suldak nodded and said, "This magic pattern is really suitable for you."

With two magic patterns remaining, Andrew chose the magic pattern of the Python Basilisk with electric attributes, and gave up the magic pattern of the dark bat with blood-sucking.

In fact, Suldak felt that the vampiric magic pattern was more suitable for Andrew, and he was desperate to fight.

The next step is the process of colonizing the magic pattern. This time the magic pattern implantation was completed in the copper mine cabin.

Suldak asked Samira to stay first, and the ogre and Andrew had to guard outside the wooden house to prevent anyone from disturbing them. The process of colonizing the magic pattern needs to be absolutely quiet, and no one can disturb it.

Opening the altar, this time he hung four horse lanterns at the four corners of the wooden house.

When the double-faced demon statue appeared in the wooden house, Suldak directly sacrificed the head of the dark bat, and then used the altar to peel off the life magic pattern from the ghost leopard bone.

He asked Samira to choose the location where the magic pattern was implanted. This magic pattern is not too big, and the pattern is long and narrow.

Samira decisively chose the left shoulder.

In this way, her right shoulder is the life magic pattern of the Vigorous Demon Ape, and her left shoulder is the life magic pattern of the cloud pattern ghost leopard, perfectly tattooed into a flower arm.

Samira has a beautiful face with light red eyes, that kind of beauty makes her look a bit coquettish...

The magic pattern had just been implanted in her body, and Samira was still a little uncomfortable. Holding her left arm with one hand, she sat alone on the wooden railing outside the wooden house, slowly feeling the fusion of the life magic pattern with her body.

Gulitham stood guard outside the wooden house, and a row of cavalry stood beside him, all of them staring at the surrounding jungle without saying a word.

In fact, there are some outposts in the dense forest...

Andrew walked into the wooden house, and Suldak sacrificed the head of the python basilisk again. The shape of the magic pattern of this basilisk is a bit strange, and Suldak implanted the magic pattern on his shoulders and the collarbone on his chest , fused with his previous magic pattern, the breath of flames and lightning roared in his body.

Andrew's physical condition is far superior to Samira's, and he can inject strength into the magic pattern without needing time to adapt.

The soul of a berserker burst out from behind him, strode out of the hut, grabbed a felling ax from the firewood pile in the camp, and shouted at the ogre: "Gulitum, do you dare to fight?" ..."

The two-headed ogre immediately ran out from the wooden house, dropped the bone-crushing stick in his hand, pulled out a small tree from the forest area, and used his hands to shake off the excess branches, turning it into a big tree full of branches. stick.

Gulitum swung the big stick in his hand and threw it at Andrew.

Andrew laughed 'haha', raised his logging ax, and faced Gullitum's big stick. Flames and electric arcs swirled around his body, and the arcs turned into electric snakes and went towards Gullitum's arm.

The ogre let out a war howl.

A wave of air visible to the naked eye diffused from the ogre's feet, and the ogre's momentum rose sharply. The ogre magician's brain had already raised a fireball and threw it towards Andrew's big face...

A ball of flames ignited all over Andrew, and the fireball fell on Andrew's body, completely submerged in the flames.

The magic lines on his body lit up one by one during the fierce battle, and flames and electric arcs appeared continuously, permeating the surrounding air, forcing the two-headed ogre to retreat steadily.

After more than a dozen axes were chopped down, only a short piece of the big wooden stick in the hands of the two-headed ogre remained.

The handle of the felling ax in his hand was also shattered in the fierce battle.

Andrew and Gullitum went into battle shirtless under a group of indigenous crowds, and the two of them fought to the flesh. Although the two-headed ogre was more than one meter taller than the Nanai indigenous warrior, and weighed even more Three times as much, but this hand-to-hand combat did not take any advantage.

In the end, the two of them fell exhausted and sat down on a messy grass almost at the same time.

The natives all around applauded and cheered, their worship of the strong came from the heart.

The cavalry in the cavalry battalion noticed that Captain Andrew's strength had grown by leaps and bounds again. The coercion of the second-rank strongman emanated from him, and the mine immediately became silent.

The surveying and mapping officer of the Wilkes Territorial Administration also came out of his cabin, and looked at the open space of the mining camp with a look of shock on his face. After thinking for a while, he decisively took out the map in his arms. A lot of measured dimensions have been densely marked.

Now, without any hesitation, he directly took out the seal from his pocket, breathed a sigh of relief towards the seal, and then stamped it heavily on the parchment map.

Turning his head to the two clerks behind him, he said, "Unfortunately, we will return to Wilkes City tomorrow..."

The two clerks shook their fists excitedly.

The surveying and mapping officer who turned to leave whispered as he walked: "There are so many second-rank powerhouses under him who are still nesting in the Bailin plane, this one is really low-key..."

Chapter 904 The Good Life of the Aboriginals

The surveying officer lived in Invercargill Forest for more than a month, and finally handed over a map stamped with the seal of the Territorial Administration to Surdak, which means that the Wilkes City Territorial Administration has recognized This piece of land matches the map, and the land circled on the map belongs to Viscount Surdak.

The remaining [-]% of the land in Invercargill Forest will be classified as public territory. These territories will be awarded to magicians with noble titles in the next few years, and will also be sold to nobles who are willing to pay for the territory. them.

In the Green Empire, it is not easy to become a nobleman.

First, the title can be inherited hereditary, but if the heir has no military merit, the title will be automatically downgraded every time he inherits it.

Second, participate in the magic awakening ceremony and awaken into a magician through the ceremony. Every magician will be canonized by the empire and will also get a piece of plane territory.Although it may be barren, or remote, or a land that a magician will never set foot in, this wealth will stay with the magician for life.

Third, the promotion of knights requires exceptional knights who have made great contributions to the Green Empire and have outstanding leadership.

In fact, the biggest reason why Suldak was canonized was because he mastered the Holy Light Art. At present, paladins are indeed more important than magicians.

In addition, there are some special circumstances in which nobility can be conferred, but that depends on the mood of His Majesty Charles.

……

The territory that Suldak owns is at least ten times larger than what he can control with his current title. According to the laws of the Green Empire, these territories will be sold or handed over within a time limit.

It's just that this law has been forgotten by almost all nobles, and the Houses of Representatives of the provinces also have a memorandum of understanding on this law.

Of course, this is done to encourage young nobles to be willing to go to other dimensions to open up territories for the empire.

Otherwise, many small nobles would open up unknown areas, but they would be forced to sell the large territories they owned. Such a thing is not in the current interests of the nobles.

In the empire, every year, the lives of nobles become very poor. They have noble rights in the city, but live a life of common people.

Of course, there are also some outstanding aristocrats who are rising. They have become new stars in the city and have made their mark in the upper class.

The land that Suldak owns on the Bailin plane is much larger than the territory of Hailansa city, but this is after all the border of the plane with vast land and few people.

The only thing worth a little money in the eyes of the nobles is a copper mine.

Invercargill forest is rampant with monsters, and the once-in-ten-year beast swarm in the dark worm valley will reduce Invercargill forest to ruins every time. Except for those trees that can escape, all the others who can breathe They are all dead, and they are fleeing.

In this way, those noble lords who have the strength to occupy this place do not want to trap all their troops here just for this land.

Not to mention being incapable of occupying this place, those noble lords who have no strength will not be able to hold it even if they occupy it.

There are only some speculative nobles who want to take advantage of the ten-year animal tide to seek some benefits in this mountain forest.

So many nobles can't see this land...

'what the hell!It won't be long before the beast tide comes, and this place will be in ruins! ' That's what some of the nobles in Wilkes City always say.

……

The native tribes are not used to going to the town of Dodan to trade.

Because there are too many imperial immigrants there, the noisy market is always full of too many merchants with small calculations.

The natives are not very good at counting, so they don't like small calculations. It doesn't matter if one transaction is taken advantage of, but two or three times will make people feel bored. There is a trading area for merchants and adventure groups.

The large amount of grain hoarded in the copper mine was originally prepared for the indigenous miners.

The remuneration paid by Suldak to them is not settled with silver coins. The main reason is that the indigenous people do not want to go to the market in Dodan Town for consumption. They usually do not need silver coins. The indigenous people prefer to receive wheat flour, so the salary payment on the mine side All are wheat flour.

Later, an adventure group came to the mine to resupply. They took out fresh meat and traded food with the people in the mine.

Indigenous people saw that they could still do the same.

Some natives will carry the special products in the forest and run to the mine to do business.

The reason why they are willing to come here is also very realistic. It turns out that the miners in the mine are all indigenous people, which not only makes them feel friendly, but also feels safer here.

The trade here supports barter, but the standard of value is wheat flour.

As long as the food is taken out and placed in front of the natives, piled up like a hill, the visual impact can kill everything in seconds.

In fact, if you pay gold coins, you will get so much food in exchange, but the natives don't know how to count.

Based on the principle of 'know only when you see it', the aborigines conduct a large number of food transactions here.

The mining camp has turned into a trading market.

The aboriginal mine manager at the mine reported to Suldak: The aboriginals who came to the mine to trade saw that everything was good, pots and pans, and even those sacks containing grain were all made by aboriginals. The goods in his eyes, several waves of aborigines ransacked this place like a primitive tribe.

After hearing the mine manager's report, Suldak immediately ordered some daily necessities, iron pans, pottery, salt, spices, hatchets, logging axes and refined steel arrow clusters to be brought from Dodan Town.

However, how to trade has become a big problem. The natives are unwilling to accept the imperial coins. Unexpectedly, the mine manager has a way.

In order to avoid repeatedly explaining the prices to the natives in these mountains, he placed large and small wooden boxes in front of these commodities.

The value of all commodities is measured in wheat flour.

For example, the wooden box in front of the iron pot is relatively large. To fill such a box, it takes about sixty pounds of wheat flour, which is two silver coins when converted into silver coins.

Buying an iron pot with two silver coins has no concept in the minds of the natives.

But for a box of wheat flour for an iron pot, they know how much they will pay. These natives have some magic materials in their hands. If they exchange them for food, the aboriginal mine manager will actively ask the adventure group. The price, the purchase price given is very fair.

So the natives of the Invercargill Forest suddenly discovered that the old life of hungry and full meals has quietly gone away. There is always half a bag of wheat flour hidden in the dry hole in the house, and they are branded when they are willing to go hunting. Order oatmeal, and drink some porridge when lying at home pretending to be dead, which is much better than drying dried meat.

It was in this situation that a group of indigenous people walked into the copper mine.

When they first came to the mine with monster materials on their backs, they didn’t understand why Lord Suldak hired so many tribesmen to dig stones here. They felt that these young people were wasting their youth if they didn’t go hunting. Could it be that they couldn’t grow old? Honestly go hunting?

But when they returned to the tribe with their food bags on their backs, they went hunting a few times and found that there were not many wild beasts in the forest left after the beast tide, and now a large number of adventure groups came from Duodan Town, hunting for a living Days are getting harder.

Now I can still take out some of the monster materials I saved before, and go to the mine to exchange for some food.

But this is not a long-term solution, these savings will eventually be exhausted.

The more times the aboriginals came to the mine, some people would chat casually with the tribesmen who dug stones here.

When they inquire about the salary here, they will immediately feel:
