Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

This week, everything has been going smoothly for Harvey's new territory.

The pioneering order he got from the Lord of Grizzly Castle originally limited the territory to the northern slope of Jackdaw Ridge and the ancient wizard ruins at the foot of the mountain.

However, in principle, the lord has no right to grant the unowned land outside the national border to the nobles. He can only use the pioneering order to stamp it and nominally confirm Harvey's land ownership.

Whether he can really gain a foothold here depends entirely on the pioneers' own efforts.

Therefore, when Harvey made the initial planning of the territory, he did not consider strictly implementing it according to the scope of the pioneering order. In the spirit of grabbing as much as possible, he pushed the territory boundary marker far away to a position close to the wilderness valley.

The actual total area of ​​this land is far larger than the size of the earl's territory in Grizzly Castle.

There are a total of 19 new residents who signed the employment contract. Excluding children under the age of 16, there are only 15 laborers who can really devote themselves to the construction of the territory.

This led to a shortage of labor in the short term, in addition to a lack of construction materials.

Harvey could only devote all his manpower and alchemy beasts to the construction of the core of the territory, and could not spare any extra manpower for other things.

The huge pit that was originally located in the center of the ruins had been reinforced at the edge of the pit wall with the efforts of everyone, and was neatly built with black slabs piled at the bottom of the pit.

The people themselves did not need to do too much heavy physical labor. All the work that required moving and lifting was done by Reiner's command of the alchemy beasts, and they only needed to cooperate from the side.

Before the initial construction of the territory was completed, the lord provided free food, and they did not have to be enslaved and exploited like in the past. Such easy and convenient work made most of the new people feel that their life prospects were extremely good.

There were also a few people who were a little worried, thinking that this kind of comfortable and somewhat unbelievable life was always a little uneasy.

The half-orc Vaughn was one of them.

"Dav, do you think the rations that the Lord gave us will be deducted from our salary in the future?"

While Vaughn was busy tying the stone slabs to the hoisting bracket, he quietly poked Dav's side and asked in a low voice.

Dav didn't think so far ahead. He glanced at Reiner who was commanding from a high place and whispered back: "Master Reiner said that all new residents can enjoy three months of free food supply. Why do you think so much?"

He rolled his eyes and thought of something. He leaned into Vaughn's ear with a little excitement, "Besides, you can eat bread baked with barley and roasted greasy venison every day. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

At present, the daily food needed by everyone in the territory is purchased by Pierce with the alchemical camel beast from Jackdaw Town, and then supplemented with a small amount of hunted prey as meat.

This level of food configuration has made the residents who used to eat bran cakes and roasted cassava feel that the quality of life has been turned upside down.

At first, we just hoped to have enough food. Now, we can not only have enough food, but also meat for every meal. I heard that after the main building is completed, the lord will also distribute a batch of cloth as a work reward.

Several refugees who have been living in the wilderness and have never had the opportunity to taste flour food in their lives almost choked themselves when they took a bite of the soft barley bread with barbecue fat.

"After the lord's main building is completed, we will start to build our own residence. How about it? Do you want to live with me?" Dave suggested with a smile.

"In this way, we only need to buy a house, and we can pool our money to buy a wife."

Vaughn rolled his eyes, "How many times have I told you that the lord does not allow the buying and selling of people."

He paused, trying to recall what he heard from other lords when they were chatting, "Well, to marry a wife, you need a lot of money, and a house...well, you should also have your own land, otherwise how can you feed your children."

Dav was shocked and said, "It takes so much to marry a wife? My father had 19 children and was able to support 8 of them. As long as I work hard, I should be able to afford it."

...

Asdalen stood beside Harvey and looked up at the brand new continental teleportation array in front of him.

"Why do you need another one of these things? Isn't the existing one enough?"

This new teleportation device was purchased by Harvey in the Magic Network Forum under the name of "Kel'Thuzad" through many people. It was obtained from the capital of Orland, the closest mage kingdom to the Evil Moon Mountains, and it was also an obsolete model.

Harvey built it side by side with "Unit 0" at the bottom of the pit, in the center of the laboratory. Since the roof has not been closed yet, it can only be covered with a rainproof tarp for the time being.

"You don't understand, the energy output of Unit 0 is already a bit stretched to support the Magic Network Forum and the transmission service."

Harvey knocked on the brass column of the new instrument with satisfaction, "The second instrument is mainly used to supply energy to the alchemy beast. After the main building is built, you and Reiner will build another small magic array separately..."

And because of the difficulty in purchasing and transporting materials, Harvey also plans to connect the transmission array of the second instrument with the warehouse built in Jackdaw Town, so that sufficient and abundant materials can be continuously delivered to the new territory.

Harvey has contacted George Santos of the Dragonstone Chamber of Commerce in advance. This is his old partner. After all, Harvey still holds a dividend share in the Soap Workshop.

No mistakes, just go to the 6-9 book forum!

The other party is also very happy to provide procurement and transportation services for Harvey's territory materials, but the transportation destination is limited to Jackdaw Town, so it is necessary to set up a warehouse there and then use the teleportation array for transfer.

Asdaren frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Use the teleportation array to transfer goods? But the matrix you designed has too small a weight for a single transmission, and it can't be supplied at all."

Harvey had expected that he would worry about this problem, and smiled and pointed to the slightly different array inscriptions on the bases of the two instruments.

"The matrix diagram of the No. 2 instrument is very different from that of the No. 0 machine. I adjusted it and abandoned the advantage of instantaneous transmission and reception, but guaranteed the amount of goods transmitted in a single transmission..."

This is the research result Harvey obtained from the energy compression characteristics of beetle ore. When applied to the cross-dimensional transmission of the magic network, it can ensure that the goods are collected within 6 hours, but the weight of the goods transmitted in a single transmission can reach hundreds of kilograms.

"And I don't need to use my mental power to enter the magic network for teleportation. It only takes less than 100 kilometers to teleport across a mountain range, and the energy consumption will not be a big problem."

The only thing that makes Harvey feel a little painful now is that the original rich entrepreneurial funds in his hands have been quickly lost like a flood during this period.

After buying a lot of reserve materials and purchasing various materials, the funds he can use now are less than 10,000 gold pounds.

Of the two ways of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, increasing revenue is obviously more important.

"I have to think of a way to cut a wave of leeks from the magic network forum..."

"Let's start with the new members who are about to join the forum!"
