Chapter 182 Blood Nova, Preparation for Expedition (3,000-Word Chapter)
Colby asked respectfully.
"We will go in groups and will never delay the defense of the territory..."
Zong Shen raised his head and looked at the dirty warriors who looked like mud monkeys, a little funny in his heart.
Everyone in the entire territory has not taken a bath for several days, especially these soldiers who joined earlier.
The rhythm of fighting in the territory is usually very tense, and every soldier is clearly arranged.
There is almost no personal time, and even going to the creek to take a cool bath is an extravagant hope. Thinking of this, Zong Shen can understand them.
As a qualified lord, you not only have to arrange the food and drink of the lords, but also need to consider many aspects, including bathing is also a big problem.
However, he did not intend to share the relatively private place of the hot spring with the whole territory.
Once the hot spring is opened, even if the water rune can purify the water for water circulation, the hot spring in the pool will immediately turn into mud.
It's not that he is reluctant. This is a very real problem. One hot spring cannot meet the bathing needs of the whole territory.
Unless he can get the drawings of the bathhouse or bathhouse, group bathing will always be a big problem, and it is more convenient to wash in the stream now.
The location of the creek is between the frontline position and the territory. It belongs to the area that has been mainly cleaned up before, and it is relatively safe.
Now the water cellars in the territory are full of water, and the residents drink cold water that has been precipitated in the water cellar and then boiled on the stove.
The creek, as living water, flows all the time, so it doesn't matter if the soldiers take a bath.
Zong Shen waved his hand and said without hesitation.
"Go, go, be safe when taking a shower."
"The monsters near the creek should be almost cleaned up."
After getting Zong Shen's permission, they cheered and bowed to Zong Shen in unison.
Then one of the soldiers hummed a little tune and walked towards the creek to the north.
Another group of soldiers continued to patrol around the territory, waiting for the first group to finish washing and come to exchange them.
Zong Shen walked into the hot spring cabin and took a comfortable bath.
None of those friends came tonight, but it was less lively and a little more deserted.
While soaking in the hot spring, Zong Shen brushed [Channel] for a while.
Chatted with Aze for a while, both brothers are night owls.
Zongze's strategy was similar to his. He directly used city walls, refusing horses, and roadblocks to block the must-pass mountain road. He also built simple buildings as bait.
Every night, you have to go out and hunt monsters actively, otherwise you will always feel that you are losing blood.
The Rhodok Empire where he is located has many mountains and hills, so the species of crypt monsters is different from that of Zong Shen.
It is mainly composed of more flexible crypt monsters such as ghouls and echidnas.
However, these monsters will also form a plague zone after death.
Aze's strength is not bad, plus the defensive advantage of the territory is located in the mountains, it is relatively easy to deal with the challenge of the crypt at this stage.
After the two brothers communicated with each other for a while, Aze suddenly stopped chatting for an excuse, sighing to go to rest, and then left the channel in a hurry.
Zong Shen already knew in his heart what made Aze leave in a hurry.
"Oh, stinky brother has grown up after all."
Zong Shen put his hands behind his head, leaned leisurely by the hot spring pool, and said with some emotion.
After simply soaking for more than 20 minutes, he ended his tour of soaking in soup tonight.
Lazy back to the lord's cabin to sleep.
...
The next day, it was just past six in the morning.
Zong Shen opened his eyes full of energy and entered a state of natural awakening.
A night without dreams, this sleep made him sleep very comfortably.
Today, his goal is equally clear, that is, before the pressure of the crypt challenge begins to surge, to completely knock down the part of the mine occupied by the spider web monster.
Reclamation of wasteland relics and development of territory must be grasped with both hands and hard with both hands.
After Zong Shen went downstairs to wash briefly, he walked out of the lord's courtyard.
The peasants have already started gathering labor outside the city walls at San Fatty's arrangement.
The patrolling soldiers have also been in place, wandering outside the territory.
Only those soldiers who were left behind by Zong Shen's account last night are still on standby in the territory.
But the wizards were gone.
Zong Shen casually found a left-behind wolf cavalry soldier who was training nearby.
This wolf cavalryman, with his upper body naked, was jogging along the lord's courtyard, but was stopped by Zong Shen and hurriedly saluted Zong Shen.
"Don't be too polite, do you know where those mages have gone?"
"Did they go to the front? Why aren't they in the territory?"
Zong Shen asked with some doubts.
This wolf cavalryman wiped the sweat on his forehead and pointed to a building in the east of the lord's courtyard. It was the rare building that Zong Shen built two days ago, the magic palace!
"The mages have all gone to the magic hall and said they are going to the hall to meditate."
Hearing the words of the wolf cavalry, Zong Shen suddenly realized, nodded and showed him a smile.
"Okay, I understand, let's keep exercising."
The wolf cavalry left, Zong Shen patted his head.
The past two days have been so busy that I have even forgotten the Magic Palace.
If I remember correctly, in addition to a meditation room that allows mages to meditate, there is also a magic room that refreshes a magic skill book every 72 hours.
At this point, more than 20 hours have passed since the completion of the construction.
This made Zong Shen a little depressed. For a development control like him, wasting so much time in vain is no different from taking half his life.
"Damn it, I almost forgot the important event, hurry up and grab the skill book!"
Zong Shen quickly ran towards the east of the small courtyard.
The magic hall covers an area of 500 square meters, which is not big in the building, but its shape is very distinctive. It is a circular building composed of twelve stone pillars covered with magic runes.
The height is about twelve meters or more, like a round jar.
Zong Shen walked into the magic hall, which was very quiet. In the center of the hall, there was a small room called the magic room.
Around the interior of the hall are meditation rooms that are covered with black cloth.
Zong Shen's goal was very clear, and he walked quickly to the door of the magic house.
He stretched out his hand to lift the black curtain and walked into it.
The magic house was originally dark, but after Zong Shen entered, it suddenly lit up.
The little water-blue light spots appeared, giving him the illusion of being in a cosmic galaxy.
[(click to extract magic skills)]
In front of them are systematic subtitles.
Zong Shen chose to draw without hesitation.
The light curtain dissipated immediately, and the surrounding water-blue light spots began to gather, as if thousands of galaxies began to condense in front of him.
These light spots contained countless combinations, representing the vast magic combination, and finally turned into a magic skill book and appeared in his hand.
Zong Shen stared at the skill book in his hand.
[Blood Nova (Necromancer Tier 4 Magic)]
[Only for necromancers to learn, get the skill Blood Nova lv1]
[Consume 10% of the current health value to release a blood nova, deal 0.6 times the magic damage to all enemies within 25 meters plus 10% of the enemy's current health value, and add a layer of blood pollution to the enemy, reducing 20% of the enemy's healing effect and health regeneration effect, cooldown time 1 hour]
[Requires Wisdom: 30]
(The necromantic group damage magic is not bad for dealing with large-scale enemies)
This skill is no longer Tasia.
Enhanced with upgrades and enhancement beads, Tasia now has a wit of 38.
Fully meet the learning requirements of this skill book.
Putting away the skill book, Zong Shen stood outside the magic house.
Shout out to those meditation rooms.
"Stop meditating, come out and gather!"
Soon, the black curtains of the meditation rooms were lifted, and a mage came out.
The time of meditation practice can be superimposed, and the state of meditation can replace sleep.
These mages basically started to come to the Magic Palace to meditate and practice last night.
After hearing Zong Shen's call, they all ended their meditation, walked out of the meditation room, and gathered in front of Zong Shen.
"Tasia, this magic skill book is for you."
"Everyone else should go to the gate of the small courtyard to gather first."
Zong Shen first handed the magic book to Tasia, and then ordered everyone to go to the gate of the small courtyard to stand by and wait for the expedition.
Tasia took the skill book, and her face was full of happy smiles.
The once aloof necromancer is now like a little girl who got a beloved toy.
"Boom!"
Tasia held the skill book, and the next second, a sweet kiss was placed on Zong Shen's side face to express her gratitude to Zong Shen.
Tasia's high-coldness is actually divided.
As soon as she slapped the skill book with her hand, it turned into a pale red ball of light, which disappeared into her head.
Blood Nova lv1 was officially mastered by her.
"Okay, let's go gather."
Zong Shen smiled slightly and asked Tasia to go to the gathering.
He himself walked last, took out the communication crystal, and asked San Fatty to lead a few farmers to wait for him in the lord's courtyard.
When Zong Shen walked to the gate of the small courtyard, San Fatty had already brought five farmers to the outside of the lord's small courtyard, bowed to Zong Shen and saluted, waiting for his orders.
There are now twenty-four cottages in the territory divided into two rows side by side.
There were no straw huts anymore, so Zong Shen placed twelve straw huts next to the two rows of houses and instructed San Fatty to lead people to build them.
After finishing the city construction, he came to the market again, extracted 1,200 copies of wood and hemp, and 800 copies of stones as usual, and sold 8 copies of [Holy Water of the Moon] again.
Then he took out an appropriate amount of resources and let the dwarf uncle continue to forge arrows and crossbows.
Seeing the busy figure of the dwarf uncle, Zong Shen planned to arrange a few well-qualified farmers as blacksmith apprentices to help the dwarf uncle carry out the forging task when the population of the territory further increased.
After dealing with the trivial matters of the territory, he began to gather his troops at the gate of the small courtyard.
Today's goal is very clear, that is to destroy the spider web monster group and conquer the entire mine area!
