Goddess Wanhua Mirror

"Okay! If you don't change it, don't change it. I'll try to get you a suit."

As Lude said, he picked up the paintbrush again and began to paint in the blank space beside the snake lady. After a while, he drew a very common sailor suit.

"Come on! Put it on and have a look."

Under Lu De's order, Snake Lady didn't dare to hesitate, and tremblingly stretched out her hand to grab this strange costume that appeared beside her out of thin air.

And Lu De looked at the two-dimensional snake girl moving by herself on the page with great interest. It felt like watching an animation, except that the snake girl's movements on the page were slightly stuck, not like a stop-motion animation. very smooth.

The style of Ludehua's sailor suit is relatively simple. Although the snake girl never wore human clothes when she was a giant snake, she has at least seen lizard people's grass skirts and adventurer's clothes, so under Lude's guidance Next, he quickly put this set of fluffy clothes on himself.

Lu De asked the dressed snake girl to turn around on the spot, and then posed a few simple poses. After watching it for a long time, he thought that she was really beautiful, but because the snake girl's figure was too strong, the sailor suit Wearing the top on her body, it stretched out into a navel-baring outfit, so it gave people a very awkward feeling.

So Lu De asked Snake Lady to take off her clothes again, and then fumbled the set of clothes casually, causing Snake Lady to scream in horror, for fear that Lu De would accidentally kill herself just now.

After deleting the sailor suit, Lude picked up his pen and started to create again. This time he drew a set of maid outfit, which is a very classic style with chest support, and it is also matched with white silk suspenders and high heels.

At this time, Lu De has completely entered the state of entertainment. He just wanted to do a small test to find out what kind of existence the snake girl sealed in the book is.Can you use it for yourself, but unknowingly leave the original goal behind!

In short, he is having a good time!

Soon, the new clothes were drawn again, and the style and details were relatively complicated this time, so it was a bit troublesome for Snake Lady to wear, and the more anxious she became, the more panicked she became, not only the back zipper was not closed, but the buttons on the front were also misplaced .It looks very embarrassed, but there is a subtle color.

Looking at the snake lady in the pages of the book, a thought suddenly popped up in Lu De's mind.

Shall I try to summon her out?

Although the image has changed, the Snake Lady is still essentially a summoned object controlled by the "Book of Ashes". As the owner of the book, Lude is also the owner of the Snake Lady, and the other party cannot disobey any of his orders.

But when he first wrote the book, Lu De never thought that this thing would become a real thing one day, so in order to deceive those lizardmen, he set the consumable required for summoning as soul.In the Battle of the Dungeon, the lizardmen took hundreds of lives in less than an hour in order to summon the giant snake to help out. They used the lives of their tribesmen as firewood, and the price was quite tragic!

Thinking of this, Lude did not rush to summon, but turned forward to the part about summoning and sacrifice, only to find that there was a blank space at the end of this paragraph, which could just add some content.

So Lu De added the settings on the spot, he didn't dare to make the changes too large, but at the end of this paragraph, he added "or the same amount of divine power", making the conditions for summoning more beneficial to him.

After the program "hot fix" was completed, Lu De rubbed his hands like a believer's fly, turned to the page of Snake Lady again, and tried to inject divine power into the book.

Under the effect of this powerful force, a mass of dark purple light that seemed to be wriggling like substance appeared on the page, and it quickly transformed into a human form.The two-dimensional snake girl who had no ups and downs suddenly became "three-dimensional"!

End of this chapter

The snake lady who was successfully summoned knelt down in front of Lu De with a "plop" as soon as her feet landed.She remembered that the group of dog-licking lizard people worshiped her in this way, so now she is also imitating it and using it to Bylord.

The strong fear caused by the "torture" came from the bottom of her heart, and she instinctively curled up in front of Lude, lowering her head desperately, not even daring to take a breath.

And Lu De seemed to be sinking, condescendingly examining the humble snake lady who was prostrate in front of him, but his heart was far less peaceful than it seemed.

"This guy's figure... is too good, hey!"

The hot and beautiful girl in front of me, her body was outlined by Lude stroke by stroke on the pages of the book from head to toe. She has a beautiful face and enchanting curves that ordinary people can't match. The product of the artist's own XP.Therefore, even without the white hair attribute, it can still have a powerful "special attack effect" on Lude.

And the bad posture of "Tu Xia Zuo" caused the snake girl who was grabbing the ground with her head to subconsciously raise her buttocks high, and the two cushioning airbags on her chest were also spread out on the wooden floor to the maximum due to the hard squeeze. Just the part that "overflows" from both sides of the body is quite visually impactful!

Thinking of the other party wearing a maid's outfit and obeying his own words, even though Lu De is a strong-willed man, he is still a healthy man, and deep in his heart at this moment, he couldn't help but have a trace of evil thoughts that a gentleman should not have.

calm!Be sure to stem cold!

Taking two deep breaths, he silently recited the party declaration in his heart. Lu De knew that the pitiful snake girl in front of him was not an innocent girl. When she was still in the form of a giant snake, she had eaten countless living people, but this It can't be an excuse for him to do whatever he wants with her.

Lu De is well aware of the importance of abiding by the moral bottom line, which is like Pandora's box, and once it is crossed, it will be the beginning of eternal doom.

"Okay, stop kneeling, stand up and talk."

"No, dare not."

"I'll get you up."

"I, I really dare not."

"I command you to get up."

"Oh……"

It wasn't until Lu De became more angry and used the word "order", that the snake lady got up from the ground tremblingly and stood there at a loss, giving people a very pitiful feeling.

Especially the other party's undressed maid outfit, showing a large area of ​​snow-white skin with open chest and back, making Lu De feel a little nervous while feasting his eyes, for fear that someone will bump into him suddenly, and he will not be able to tell when the time comes .

However, it is exactly what the saying goes, "whatever you are afraid of will come."The moment Lude reached out to help the Snake girl button her clothes, Eliwen, who had just woken up, got out of her urn and saw this scene.

All of a sudden, one person, one snake, and one ghost were stunned, and the atmosphere in the basement fell into an embarrassing silence.Eleven, who was halfway outside, was stunned for a full three seconds, and then slowly shrank back.

"That me, I'll go back to sleep for a while, you continue..."

"Misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding! Let me explain!"

Seeing that Eleven didn't understand the situation, Lu De had no choice but to use "Erkang's hand", relying on his ability to touch the spirit body, he forcibly pulled Eleven who was about to shrink back out again.

Thanks to getting along with each other on weekdays, Lu De left a good impression on Miss Ghost, so Elaine believed his explanation, and helped the snake girl who couldn't wear clothes tidy up her messy clothes, and then she had a good time. Excitedly, he circled her a few times, looked up and down, and poked the pair of stalwart mountains with his hand.

"Master Priest, what should she be in this state now? It feels like she is neither a living being nor an undead, but she can freely switch between these two forms. It's really amazing!"

Witnessing the whole process of the transformation of the snake spirit with her own eyes, Elaine became very curious about her at this time.Because the living creatures in this world are generally divided into two categories according to the form of existence, "living body" and "spiritual body".The main difference between the two is whether they have a physical body.

Therefore, in the world of magic, undead like Elaine are regarded as "living people who are not completely dead". They belong to souls without flesh and blood. Only then can it be counted as real death.

Theoretically speaking, except for the special existence of gods, it is theoretically impossible for mortal creatures to freely switch between these two forms. The powerful resurrection technique must also be effective within seven days after death, before the soul and body are completely separated.

It is worth mentioning that a small number of undead and elemental creatures will have rare skills like "possession", which can temporarily seize control of the physical body, but because the soul of the original owner must be suppressed, unless the original owner is weak or simply gives up resistance completely , otherwise the duration is limited.

But the current state of Snake Lady is more interesting. She belongs to the unprecedented "summoning object" in this world. She is not a god but can switch back and forth between living body and spirit body.It's just that whether to convert or not is not controlled by her own will, but Lude, who is the controller, has the final say. When not in use, it can be stored in a book and carried around, which can be said to be very convenient.

However, this manipulative ability is indeed amazing, but it reminds Elaine of something that is not well-known in this world - demons!

The so-called demons appeared long before God Wars. They came from other worlds in Outland and possessed unimaginable abilities. They coaxed the mortal creatures in this world to trade with them in order to harvest the souls of mortals.

Yet despite their notoriety, demons are known to be extremely evil beings who have an eye on the human soul.However, there are still people who take the initiative to trade with them through the summoning ceremony intentionally spread by the devil, and eventually become their slaves, obediently offering their souls, because the devil can indeed give them powerful power that even the gods do not have.

Most people's will is very fragile in the face of temptation!

Taking Luther's face into consideration, Elaine didn't have the nerve to say that she had just associated with the devil. She didn't want the priest to feel offended.

But in fact, Lu De himself is complaining about himself at this moment, feeling that he has done a lot of things that are not done by humans without knowing it!

Demons come from other worlds, they are full of lies to deceive human beings, and they have special abilities to imprison and enslave creatures.And he, Lude, is completely identical to the devil in other respects except that he is not harmful!

End of this chapter

After summoning the Snake Lady, Lu De didn't rush to put her back in the book, but asked her to stay in the basement for one night, so as to measure how much divine power it would take to summon her.

If it wasn't for the fact that there are thousands of noble troops stationed outside the village, it would be inconvenient to take her out now. Lude would also like to let her take a combat power test, because the other party told him clearly that when he is summoned, he does have the ability to become Serpent form.She hasn't tried it yet, but just knows she has.

Looking at the snake girl who was obediently letting herself be manipulated like a doll, Lu De suddenly pinched his chin and asked.

"I've never asked before, do you have a name?"

Before the snake girl was fully domesticated, Lude had never been able to communicate with her in a real sense, so she only knew that the lizard people called her the snake spirit, and some demihumans called her the swamp master, the black water demon, etc. , but these are more of a title than a name.

Facing Lu De's question, Snake Lady tilted her head in doubt.A Warcraft lord like her who has evolved and upgraded step by step from low-level monsters. In the early years, her IQ was not high, but she gradually became smarter, but she has no culture. The name is completely dispensable to her. thing.

So the snake girl shook her head, saying that she didn't have an official name.

"In this case, let me get you one! You have so many heads on your body, so you can call it Hydera."

In this way, Snake Lady got a name that implied something wrong. She didn't know whether the name was good or not, but since it was given by the master, it was no matter how ugly it was, and she had no room to object.

Lude asked Hydera to stay in the basement first to get used to his current human body. He noticed just now that the other party walked in a strange posture, probably because he was not used to walking on two legs.

If Elaine is free, she can also try to teach her to read and write and human etiquette.

After all, Lude gave her a set of maid outfits, and Eleven was a court maid before she was alive, so it happened to help her train well.

In the next few days, everything in the village was normal. Lude had a lot of things to do at hand, but everything was proceeding in an orderly manner as planned.

After the last Goddess Christmas Day, the surrounding villages finally softened their attitudes and agreed to send their children to school here. Naturally, Lu De would not refuse anyone who came and enrolled them in his own school.

On the other hand, the rehearsal of the Rainbow Circus was also going well. Lu De took advantage of the opportunity to set up a major in literature and art in the school, and gave Serves ten enrollment places, allowing her to select children with talents in this area from the school.

Servis also reciprocated, allowing an old couple in her circus who were a bit too old and not suitable for traveling with them to stay and teach in Lude's school. It was a happy arrangement for everyone.

During the rehearsal, Lude would come over from time to time to inspect, give advice to Servis and the others, and also showed off his amazing makeup skills that everyone was amazed by.Servis, who has been worrying about her "tender" appearance, has successfully found the feeling of returning to the flower season.

At the same time, I became more and more convinced that Luther was Shakespeare!

A week is fleeting, and before you know it, it is the end of the month, and the migration group of the dwarves is only two days away from Pine Tree Village.

During this period, both Sharo and Rodriguez regularly sent cavalry to confirm the location of the dwarf migration group, and the lords of the two families even exchanged letters frequently with Gulig, the patriarch of the Steel Whip clan, to express their goodwill.

The Steel Whip Clan has always been the Queen's Foundry Master of the Duran Royal Family. The patriarch Gulig has the title of Viscount, but he has never had a fief before.

This time, the ancient dwarf city was discovered in the Void Forest. Gulig asked the king to allow their clan to take back the inheritance that belonged to their dwarf clan, so the king followed suit and directly issued a formal canonization document, enclosing the ancient city and its radius. The land within fifty miles was entrusted to Gulig.

This canonization is not bad for the royal family and the dwarves, because Gulig is still loyal to the royal family and is the viscount of the kingdom, so their fiefdom is naturally counted as the territory of the kingdom, which is equivalent to expanding the territory.

Although the migration of tens of thousands of dwarves has weakened the industrial productivity in the hinterland of the kingdom to a certain extent, the dwarves have not escaped the control of the kingdom, and will even become more dependent on the kingdom than before.

You must know that the fiefdom they are going to take over here is inside the Void Forest beyond the national border. It is hundreds of miles away from Songshu Village in a straight line. The ancient city is surrounded by a large area of ​​primeval forest, inhabited by countless monsters and monsters. Beasts, even in winter, the mountains are still blocked by heavy snow.

Tens of thousands of dwarves want to be self-sufficient in this kind of place. Even if the weather is good and the weather is good, it will take decades of careful management.

Therefore, the migrating dwarves will rely heavily on the kingdom's food supply. If they are really disobedient, the kingdom doesn't even need to send troops to suppress them. As long as the food supply is cut off, the dwarves will be hungry enough to surrender in a short time.

Therefore, in the foreseeable future, the dwarves who took over the ancient city will give full play to the traditional arts of their own race, and continuously deliver all kinds of metals and high-quality metallurgical artifacts to the kingdom in exchange for the food and wine they depend on for survival. The location is just on this trade line.

In the past week, following the private armies of the two lords, a large number of businessmen flocked towards Pine Tree Village like sharks smelling blood, far exceeding the number before.

Some chambers of commerce hope to build a cargo station in the local area to facilitate the transfer of materials in the future. Therefore, they hope to purchase a piece of land before the local land price is fired up.As a result, the merchants found out after inquiring that the local God of Medicine Sect was the largest landowner in the area, and more than half of the land in the village belonged to the church, with very formal title deeds.

Right now, Pine Tree Village is still in the development period, the five-year tax-free benefits have not yet been fully ended, and there is no local lord, so the church that owns so much land only needs to collect rent from the tenants below, but does not have to pay taxes to the lord above. According to the rumors about the God of Medicine Sect selling medicine before, the merchants thought that Lu De was a wealthy man with a lot of money.

This kind of "country emperor" is usually not an easy master to get along with!Even if you don't buy land from him, if you want to do business in the local area safely, you have to visit the pier.

However, when the merchants came to the door with gifts, they did not see a plump nouveau riche wearing gold and silver, but a benevolent and kind elder wearing a coarse robe that was so ordinary that it could be called cheap.

Lude was very clear about the purpose of these businessmen's visits, so he was prepared, took out a piece of exquisite planning, and then pointed to the area framed in red lines on it, smiling and said to the businessmen who came .

"Bosses, are you interested in learning about the investment attraction plan of our Songshu Village?"

End of this chapter

There were more than a dozen businessmen who were called by Lude to the temple to negotiate. At the beginning, everyone simply hoped to buy a piece of land in the village to build a cargo station, and by the way, send gifts to honor Lude, a local snake, and beg him to take care of him in the future.

As a result, this decent-looking old priest said that he wanted to cooperate with them in business, and even designated a large piece of land in the village, planning to build something called an "economic development zone". It is necessary to attract businessmen like them to invest in the local area, so that everyone can make money together.

Most of the businessmen present were cautiously skeptical of Lude's plan, and even mistakenly thought that it was an excuse for Lude to take the opportunity to blackmail, and they didn't want to participate but couldn't refuse directly.

These people who do business are away from home all the year round, and they have all experienced what it means to make troublesome people out of poor mountains and bad waters, and what it means to be high in the mountains and far away from the emperor!And the church is generally not a good thing. Priests control the local believers and want to incite those troublesome people to do something to them passing businessmen. It can be said that it should not be too simple!

Fortunately, Lu De is not a fool with empty words, he has prepared a detailed plan, and even made a decent "butt kick"!

The biggest advantage of Pine Tree Village at present is that it is located on a new important traffic node. The two neighboring territories are currently building roads towards them, and it is expected to open before winter at the end of the year.And after the dwarves take down the ancient city, they will also build roads as soon as possible to ensure connectivity with the outside world.

Therefore, for businessmen who often do business in the northern part of the kingdom, they must come to Pine Tree Village frequently in the future. If there is a goods station in the area, it will be much more convenient to do business.But Lu De's expectation for Pine Tree Village is not just as simple as a logistics transfer station.

How could the Industrial Party be content with being a second-hand dealer?

In the wonderful prospect that Lude described to the businessmen, the future Pine Tree Village will not only be a trade distribution center connecting the three places, but also an industrial town with complete supporting facilities, with a variety of unique "high-profile products". The development prospect is limitless.

As for what these "high-profile products" look like, Lu De did not disclose them to these merchants for the time being on the grounds of commercial confidentiality, but he repeatedly emphasized that these products will definitely not be inferior to the various miracle medicines that their church is famous for!

Relying on colorful ass kicks, the eloquent Lu De stunned by drawing cakes in emptiness, which made this group of businessmen greedy, and they all donated money to invest in this "future project" of Lu.

The reason why the businessmen are so happy to pay is not simply because of Lude's good job, but because Lude promised to provide investors with various benefits, including free lease of land, all terms It will be implemented in formal contract documents.

So the businessmen did some calculations and found that the money needed for investment seems to be not much different from buying land directly, and in the future, when the factories in the village are set up, they can get dividends as shareholders, so they don't want to buy this deal. deficit!

And similarly, Lude actually didn't lose anything.

Compared with directly selling land to raise funds, a major role of attracting investment is to establish common interests with these businessmen, so as to expand contacts and lay a foundation for further cooperation in the future.

But for now, Lude's "development zone" still only exists on the blueprint, and the circled piece of land has not even pulled out the weeds.After all, before the industrial transformation, Lu De must first liberate the local productive forces.

The current resident population of Songshu Village has exceeded [-], but more than [-]% of the villagers are farmers, and the low grain output has tied most of the labor force to the fields.Lude wants to develop industry without giving up self-sufficiency, so agricultural upgrading is imperative.

So in the past year or so, Lu De mobilized villagers to build water conservancy projects three times, dug through irrigation canals with a total length of 3000 meters, and diverted water to low-lying areas to form ponds for future aquaculture.

In addition, Lude also improved farm tools, tried every means to introduce and cultivate good varieties, and used magic to develop Jinkela!The first batch of magical fertilizers had already been used in the [-]-acre experimental field two weeks ago, and when the autumn harvest was a blockbuster, Lude would be able to add a new "abundance" god to Aina.
