Chapter 216 Construction Frenzy, Mariel Arrives (Two in One Chapter, Ask for a Monthly Ticket)

Zong Shen returned to the room, took off his armor and equipment, and fell asleep.

As for the two gold diggers, their mouths were gagged, hanging under the element arrow tower, and they were constantly whimpering.

But no one paid any attention to them. The soldiers should rest and continue to rest, and those who should patrol should keep patrolling. No one cares about these gold diggers.

Strictly speaking, Zong Shen's territory was slain from blood and fire, and these Tianguang commander-level monsters have been wiped out by them.

Compared to the small gold diggers, it is nothing at all. It is not surprising that they dare to be so disrespectful to the lord, and it is not surprising to get such an end. Everyone seems very calm and does not care about it.

...

After a good night's sleep, Zong Shen woke up at 6 o'clock in the morning the next day.

As his physical fitness increased, his need for sleep became lower and lower.

The first thing Zong Shen did when he got up was to untie the bandage and examine the wound under his ribs.

Now, the wounds on his ribs and back have scabbed over, and the healing speed of the wounds is terrifying.

Zong Shen reapplied some Luna spring water on the wound and replaced it with a new bandage.

After treating the wound, he got up and got out of bed and put on the equipment.

Today, he did not travel far, and he was going to deal with the affairs of the territory and build some of the architectural drawings that he had on hand.

Then organize a hunting team to take the initiative to sweep away the crypt monsters around the territory.

In fact, there are very few lords who are as leisurely as Zong Shen. Even if most of the lords can rely on their territories, terrain and defensive buildings to resist, the battle is extremely fierce, almost non-stop fighting day and night, only occasionally Take a nap.

Where can I be like Zong Shen, not only to go out to explore, but also to sleep in the lord's small building leisurely.

But there is one thing to say, the battle pressure facing Zong Shen is not comparable to that of ordinary lords.

On the one hand, it was because he directly completed a single crypt, and on the other hand, it was also related to the size of the territory. The larger the territory and the more population, the more attractive it was for crypt monsters.

The whole is still in a relatively balanced state. As long as you do your best, you will definitely gain something after the crisis. The strong will gain from the strong, and the weak will also gain from the weak. At least the overall trend is a steady progress, as if there is a pair of The invisible hand is constantly promoting the progress of the lords.

Zong Shen took a shower, and the mages took turns to enter the [Magic Hall] to meditate and practice under his permission, and everyone else took their place.

Under the leadership of Dutra, the kobolds collected stones near the territory. More than 200 kobolds were scattered around the territory. These kobolds were stronger than the farmers and had a certain fighting power. Compared with the professional soldiers under Shen, they are much stronger than those farmers.

In the face of monsters wandering from various crypts, they can even launch a counterattack under the leadership of Dutra. While collecting, they also killed a lot of crypt monsters.

So far, except for the Tier 3 Elemental Arrow Tower that is being upgraded in the lord's courtyard, all the defense towers have been completed, and the defense capacity of the territory has been greatly improved. Even those captain-level gargoyles can be easily solved. .

The best way to deal with the increasing pressure of the Crypt Challenge is to specifically increase the defense capabilities of the territory and the number of soldiers.

Zong Shen twisted his neck and moved his body, remembering that some architectural drawings he had obtained in the mine had not been checked.

And there is also a complete building of [Tier 4 Cannon Tower], which is a rare special defense building. Although the attack needs to consume mana, it can effectively kill large-scale enemies, and can also provide 3500 The top view within the range of meters is an absolute territorial defense weapon.

Zong Shen flipped his hand and took out six blueprints, five of which were architectural drawings and one was a manufacturing blueprint.

He clapped his hands and first mastered all the five blueprints, and then began to check the properties of these drawings one by one. With the development of the territory, the demand for some functional buildings became stronger and stronger.

For example, bathhouses, canteens, medical halls, and even buildings for exercise and relaxation have potential needs, which need to be gradually improved and solved.

The few architectural drawings I just mastered can meet some of the functional requirements.

[Sturdy value: 500]

[Building Armor: 10]

(Groundwater sources are often cleaner than surface water sources, and building deep wells can increase the water supply to the territory)

The five construction drawings are all very practical buildings. Whether it is a bathhouse, a training ground, or a cold storage, they all play a big role. Unfortunately, Zong Shen's primary water runes and fire runes are not enough, and they need to be collected.

Now all he can afford is the first-order training ground and the first-order city gate.

In addition to these architectural drawings, Zong Shen also had a manufacturing drawing on hand.

[Manufacturing drawing of water purification device (blue)]

[Primary water rune purification life: 120 hours]

(The safety of water resources needs to be paid attention to, especially in times of war, when crazy opponents often attack the water source of the territory)

This thing is a water purification device, which can filter water resources and ensure the safety of water quality.

However, it will not be used in a short period of time. After the rune is rich, you can create one to filter the water in the territory.

Among these drawings, Zong Shen can only build the training ground and the city gate. The bathhouse needs water runes and fire runes, the cold storage needs ice magic gems and water runes, and even wells and water purifiers need water. Runes, the gaps in runes are too big.

Zong Shen called Sanpang with a few farmers through the communication crystal, and first came to the south of the lord's courtyard.

Place the Tier 4 turret next to the sentry tower.

As long as it is not charged, the giant turret will not be automatically activated, and the giant turret will be turned off at ordinary times, because the explosion damage does not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and the automatic attack is likely to damage the territory.

On the south side of the small courtyard, there is still a large area of ​​open space that can be used, just to house some new buildings.

Anyway, the internal planning around the small courtyard is temporarily like this. When the crypt challenge is over, Zong Shen will start the expansion of the territory, and at the same time plan the large area, and finally lay out the construction of the large city wall, forming the prototype of the large territory and city.

Zong Shen placed a [Tier 1 training ground] on the open space in the south, and asked a farmer to start construction on the spot. Then he came to the residential area and upgraded 9 of the 35 newly built grass huts to Tier 2. Private houses, so there are a total of 30 second-order private houses in the territory.

Several rows of houses are neatly arranged in the territory, and they are also somewhat popular.

Then he came to the farmland again, and placed 2 more primary fertile fields next to the original 8 primary fertile fields. This is also the blueprint drawn in the mine.

This time, there are 10 primary fertile fields. The wheat, potatoes and tomatoes that were planted before have all grown. In the primary farmland with the growth bonus effect, the growth rate of crops is much faster than that of the earth.

I believe that in the past few months, you will be able to eat the food, vegetables and fruits grown in the territory.

After dealing with the farmland, Zong Shen came to the gap in the four walls, removed the roadblocks, and started to build the city gate.

Four city gates were placed on the originally reserved gaps, and those roadblocks were all moved out and blocked on both sides of the city gate.

The fifth round of construction frenzy has officially started, and each round of construction can make the territory more perfect.

From a lonely and dilapidated courtyard, it gradually turned into a complete territory with buildings such as city walls, arrow towers, houses, pastures, farmland, etc., and now the territory finally has some appearance.

He also had three [Blood-devouring Cannibal Seeds] in his hand, and he was going to plant one next to the city gate in the north, and the other two at the gate of the lord's courtyard.

At this moment, Colby suddenly ran over from the east of the territory while riding the giant prairie wolf.

"My lord, there is a carriage coming towards our territory from east to west, do you want to escort or intercept it?

He reported a situation to Zong Shen.

"Carriage? It should be Mariel."

"I'll take a look with you!"

Zong Shen waved his hand and let Colby lead the way, while he himself ran wildly behind the giant wolf on foot, but he didn't fall behind.

When I came to the west of the territory, I could see a carriage coming at an even speed, and there was no attack from the crypt monsters along the way. It should be the aboriginal forces.

After about seven or eight minutes, the carriage came to the city gate and stopped.

The car door opened, and the big-bellied Master Mars walked down first, then turned around and helped Mariel out of the carriage. He saw a smile on Zong Shen's face, and he was also looking at the territory in front of him.

The crypt challenge is arranged by the lord system. The aborigines cannot see the crypt monsters, nor will they be attacked by the crypt monsters. The two are like two parallel worlds.

Therefore, it is impossible to use the aboriginal forces to defend against the crypt monsters.

Of course, if you are willing to abandon the territory and hide in the aboriginal forces, you can indeed save your life, but the territory will also be completely destroyed.

In particular, the lord's courtyard will be completely destroyed, and the lord's authority will be lost forever, thus becoming a free citizen.

Freedmen lose the privileges and conveniences of their lords.

But it is not a dead end. There is still a chance to develop its own power among the aborigines, but this time period may become very long.

Although freemen are inferior to lords, they are much stronger than death.

Now there are very few free people whose territories have been destroyed among the lords, and these people can only be active between the aborigines and the lords in the future.

However, Zong Shen didn't know or care about this. It was very cool to be a lord, especially when the generals were established and developed step by step, the sense of accomplishment was overwhelming.

After Mariel got off the carriage, Zong Shen walked up to him quickly.

He first shook Master Mars' hand, and then gently shook Mariel's hand.

However, Mariel's body was trembling slightly, and her eyes were looking at the crypt monsters that were wandering outside the range of the arrow tower.

She had joined Zong Shen's territory before, so she was able to see these monsters.

Although she was not attacked by monsters along the way, she was still a little frightened.

Hero-level characters do not occupy dominance points and belong to independent hero-level units.

Zong Shen patted her shoulder comfortingly.

"Don't be afraid, our territory is safe."

"Master Mars welcomes you to my domain!"

He greeted them politely, and then led them through the unfinished city wall, into the territory, and all the way through the pasture to the lord's courtyard.

The driver who came with him was waiting outside with a carriage.

When Mr. Mars passed by the pasture and saw the more than 100 prairie cows and dozens of prairie sheep, an embarrassed and polite smile appeared on his face.

"There are a lot of cattle and sheep in the territorial pastures of adults!"

he said suddenly.

Zong Shen nodded as usual.

"It's okay, these are the spoils of war from the gangster Carlisle."

"These cattle and sheep are all the stolen goods of the robber Carlisle, so I brought them back and raised them myself."

When he said it seriously, Master Mars was really a bit crooked when he heard it.

Although he knew that these cattle and sheep were stolen from his ranch by the gangster Carlisle, he really couldn't say much.

After Carlisle's hand, the cattle and sheep really have nothing to do with his Mars, they belong to the loot of the gangsters.

What's more, now that his daughter has posted it, he naturally won't say anything unpleasant.

Zong Shen brought Mars and Mariel to the lord's small building and took a seat at the long table in the hall on the first floor.

He took out the [crafted highland wine], put on the crystal wine glass that had been washed, and poured a glass of wine each, even if it was a treat.

After the three of them took a sip of wine, Mariel's fear eased a lot.

Mars put down the glass with a look of hesitation.

"Just say what Master Mars wants to say."

"There are no outsiders here."

Zong Shen smiled and said calmly.

When Master Mars heard the words, he spoke slowly.

"My lord, it seems that your territory is still in the state of being established. There is not much permanent population, and there is no large-scale farming and commerce."

"In addition, you have not obtained the certification of Bangcheng. If this kind of illegal settlement is discovered by Bangcheng, it is very easy to be suppressed by the National Knights."

"There are many people who have established such settlements recently, but none of them are on a scale as large as yours."

Master Mars expressed his opinion, and at the same time, he also shared an important piece of information.

That is, the aboriginal forces have begun to notice the appearance of the lords. This situation is consistent with the previous formal adjustment of the rules, but due to the geographical isolation caused by the vast area, the response of the aborigines will not be reflected so quickly. .

There is another piece of information, that is, as long as you obtain the certification of Bangcheng, you can become a neutral legal force. If you want to avoid trouble, you still have to go to Bosbang.

Zong Shen thought for a moment, then nodded calmly.

"Indeed, but this place will soon develop into a village. At present, the territory can only be regarded as an armed settlement."

"The resident farmers and working population are not many, but the number of soldiers is relatively large."

He said frankly that as a former aristocrat, Master Mars is now also a rancher and businessman, and he still has a certain vision and connections.

Zong Shen's original intention was to take advantage of the situation and use the power of the aborigines to rapidly develop the territory.

Master Mars nodded when he heard the words, looked directly at Zong Shen, and held out a five-pointed star-shaped magic token.

Sir, "I will send someone to build a large pasture in your territory in a week, and I will also introduce some traveling merchants during this time."

"I believe that the lord's territory will be able to develop, and Mariel will ask the lord to take care of it."

"In addition, I have a personal request. If you go to Bosbon in the future, please come to Evans' manor. The manor originally belonged to my father, but it was occupied by Evans' father."

"In the wine cellar of the manor, the rune secret door behind the last row of wine cabinets against the wall can be opened by using this magic token, which contains part of the wealth left by my father and a knight of Avalon. Refinement badges."

"You have space magic items on you. As long as you can bring them back, I would like to give you half of this wealth."

A task reminder appeared in front of Zong Shen.

[Village of Sitano Village: Mars, I send you a mission invitation]

【Accept】【Reject】

When Zong Shen heard that there was a task, he decisively chose to accept it.

[Task: Retrieve the legacy of the fathers]

[Requirement: Enter the magic secret room in the wine cellar of the manor and retrieve the wealth left by the grandfather and father of Mars]

[Reward: [Avalon Knight Trial Badge × 1], half of this wealth]

The reward is not bad, and with the system as the guarantee of the task, Zong Shen can execute it with confidence.

His expression turned serious, he took the pentagram-shaped magic token, and nodded firmly.

"Don't worry, I will make Mariel a strong woman who can stand on her own."

"When I go to Bosbon, I will look for an opportunity to go to Evans' manor to see the situation."

After receiving Zong Shen's promise, Mars breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Mariel with some reluctance, and then said goodbye in a hurry.

Zong Shen took Mariel to personally send Mars to the carriage, and watched the carriage go away. Mariel didn't say much, but her eyes were a little wet and her expression was a little down.

The little girl's heroic dream is always so bold and brave, she joined Zong Shen's territory alone and became the youngest and most immature hero in the territory.

Zong Shen saw her depressed appearance, put one hand behind his back, and took out something.

The other hand poked her arm lightly.

"Don't be sad, I have a small present for you."

Hearing Zong Shen's words, Mariel raised her head, a look of anticipation appeared on her face, and she said a little embarrassedly.

"Big brother...no...do you have any gifts for me, Lord?"

"But Mariel hasn't done anything yet..."

Zong Shen grinned when he heard this, and stretched out his other hand in front of Mariel.

He opened his palm, revealing the necklace with a green leaf pendant in his palm.

It is the previous [Nature Affinity Necklace], the shape of this chain is very small and fresh.

Mariel looked at the necklace a little fascinated. This is an excellent piece of equipment, which is incomparable to those ordinary jewelry. The naked eye can see the difference.

"Hurry up and take it."

"Do you want me to put it on for you myself?"

Zong Shen urged with a smile, Mariel blushed and hurried over.

Holding the necklace tightly in his hand, he bowed to Zong Shen.

"Thank you…"

"Maryl won't let you down!"

Zong Shen nodded with relief, and led Mariel into the territory again.
