Chapter 390 Population and Crystals

June twenty-fifth.

It was the beginning of summer, and the temperature in Elson City was gradually rising. At the same time, the originally deserted city also became prosperous like a "small town" because of the settlement of as many as 2,000 people.

The outer city passed by groups of undead guards wandering like machines, while the inner city was parked with various teams, including the transport troops of the Duke of Angmar, the "construction troops" of other nobles who came to support the construction, and the Parr The "migrant workers" recruited from the territory, at the same time from the first batch of "Rosicrucian" priests also led a team of one hundred people to select suitable buildings and start the transformation of "church" and "monastery".

An empty city that has been covered in dust for more than 700 years has undergone earth-shaking changes under Rody's efforts for several months.

And today, the leader has finally returned.

When the chirping of the pintail came from the sky, Nefer's fiery red figure excitedly ran out of the Pasha'er Tower, and rushed all the way to the city square—

"Brother is back"

She vigorously waved to Roddy who jumped off the Kodak, and Camilla, who was following behind, had a smile on her lips—compared to the haggard appearance a few days ago, at this time, her face was rosy and her steps were light, as if she was covered in water. exudes exuberant vitality.

The charging spar had been delivered five days ago, and the "core magic circle" had completed charging. Camilla, who had survived the crisis safely, knew that she owed a huge favor to Roddy.

"Huh... finally came back."

Luo Di stretched out his hand to support Akasha and jumped off the Koda duck. He patted the big bird, turned his head and smiled at the mother and daughter in front of him, "I didn't expect there to be a welcome ceremony, um...Nafei's skirt very beautiful."

Looking at the little loli Naifei, Luo Di's thought at this time is very simple: since there is no destiny, then Yu Jian will pamper her, protect her, and let her spend every day happily.

"Going out for a little gain, I brought gifts for you all, don't refuse."

As Rody was talking, he noticed that Akasha was about to pack his bag, so he immediately reached out to take it, and said with a smile, "Let a man do this kind of thing."

"Well, listen to you."

Akasha nodded, looking well-behaved, without the slightest trembling caused by "fear of heights" when flying-in her eyes, there is nothing happier than being held in Roddy's arms all the way, even if it is just Smiling lightly, the meaning of being filled with happiness in the heart can't be concealed at all.

Camilla's originally smiling expression froze for an instant, she was keenly aware of Rody's change, and said with some hesitation: "Roddy...you have changed a lot.

"

"Encountered some things, made some choices, and abandoned some burdens," Rody admitted frankly, and then pointed to Pasha's Demon Tower, "Go to the Demon Tower and tell you in detail, there are some things I didn't say in the letter clear."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and shook Akasha's hand lightly: "Go back and rest first, I'll go back when I'm done."

"Okay." The little pastor blushed a little, looked up at the mother and daughter Camilla who were blinking, and waved his hands: "You talk, I'll go first."

"you…"

Camilla felt that her voice was a little rough. Although Rody had nothing to do with anyone she associates with, an unspeakable emotion suddenly surged in her heart. It was just her habitual rationality that made her suppress her emotions: "In Together?"

Rody nodded generously, and then took out a "silver vine wood wand" and handed it to Nai Fei, imitating Henry's tone and said: "Casting spells is faster, and the movement is more chic, the standard configuration of the little arcanist, the silver vine wood wand , you deserve it, take it and try it"

Naifei exclaimed "Wow", and followed Rody forward bouncingly. Camilla pursed her lips, but finally followed without saying anything...

"Is the spar okay?"

Ten minutes later, Rody, who was standing in front of the core magic circle of the magic tower, asked aloud. The "city management system" was opened in front of him, which showed the current operation status of the "core magic circle".

"Based on the current consumption rate, it can last for a long time."

Camilla stared at the city core in front of her, and replied calmly.

Nafi took the wand and went to the special "spell practice room" in the tower to experiment with power, while Roddy and Camilla were talking about future strategies in the core area of ​​the city.

"This is the case without opening other defensive magic circles, but in the event of war or special events, this city still needs a lot of crystals as energy support," Rody looked at the "enough to turn three pages" Array activation list", continued: "The spars found from Jingyu Forest are limited after all, about the production of 'charged spars... When can it be put on the agenda?"

"According to the above content of "Theory of Energized Crystal Production", all materials are currently purchased, but the price may be very expensive, and the quantity and source are also problems."

Camilla took out a piece of written parchment: "Here is the list of materials. To make spar, you need to activate the 'spar furnace' in the city, but the remaining spar is just enough to open it."

She raised her finger and tapped on the parchment: "The spar produced needs to be charged, and the source of energy is very troublesome. There are almost no such things as molten cores, tears of ice crystals, and agglomerated earth cores. The direct way can only be to use ordinary 'magic crystals' to recharge."

Only monsters above level 3 have "magic crystals", so charging through "magic crystals" seems to be unrealistic at all.

Rody frowned slightly, glanced at the material list, recalled it carefully in his mind, and suddenly asked: "How is the conversion efficiency of the Molten Core?"

"Theoretically, it is second only to the magic crystal, but its acquisition method is too difficult."

Camilla knew that Roddy would not be aimless, so she dissuaded her: "Comparatively speaking, I know that there are tears of ice crystals and agglomeration of the earth's core in some places, but in the early stage, try to use magic crystals to convert them. This is currently the fastest way. The way. A newly condensed magic crystal is enough to fill half of the energy of seven crystal stones, which is enough for the operation standard of a general magic circle. And if it is a high-level magic crystal, the number can be multiplied many times."

Spars don't have to be full before they can be used. What is needed in the first place is "quantity" rather than "quality", so this method is the fastest way to improve the city's defense ability and level.

"After all, I still need money..."

Rody really wanted to "buy, buy, buy", but looking at the list in front of him, he had to admit that he was still a poor man—for such a huge city, the little money earned from Elsa Village alone was obviously not enough, and Because it is a ghost city itself, Elson has no economic output capacity at all.

Thinking of this, he suddenly asked: "So... what do you think I should do most now?"

"Increase the population."

Camilla blurted out, but then paused, "Uh...I thought about this question before, so—"

"Go on, I'm listening."

Roddy smiled.

"What I mean is...Elson City needs a large number of residents, the surrounding fields need to be reclaimed, the conscription needs to be selected from young and strong civilians, the arsenal, the magic tower, these all need manpower."

Camilla's words became more and more fluent, "In order for the city to function, we need a large population, and they are civilians who are willing to live here and multiply here for generations, not a team of merchants who come here to do business after being temporarily recruited. "

These words made Rody agree very much—in such an era of illiteracy everywhere, it is not easy to consider the issue of age distribution. Obviously, her research is extensive enough, and her consideration of issues is very practical.

"I need a 'staff,, would you like to help me?'"

Camilla was stunned by Roddy's question, but she quickly realized what it meant, took a deep breath, and replied solemnly: "This is what I should do."

"Then... I will trouble you more in the future."

Rody took out a leather pocket and handed it to Camilla: "This magic crystal should be able to charge some crystals. You are in charge of making crystals."

"piece?"

Camilla raised her hand to catch it, and immediately felt a chill in her palm. She slowly opened her pocket, and then suddenly held her breath.

The Frost Dragon Crystal with perfect facets and symmetrical edges appeared in front of my eyes with a faint mist.

"The gift for Nai Fei is a magic wand. I don't know what gift I'm giving you. I think you should need this magic crystal, so I brought it back first." Rody still looked at the magic circle in front of him, as if at this time What Camilla was handed was like a rock.

He was thinking about the two major problems of "finding sustainable energy" and "population", and he didn't pay attention to the shocked expression on Camilla's face at this time, and continued: "I will give the manufacturing material list of the charging spar to Henry , Just wait for the delivery, um... roughly, I'll go to rest for a while."

"Uh... ok, ok."

Camilla stammered a little, looked at Rody's leaving back, but looked down.

The priceless magic crystal in her hand is very important, but what is heavier than it is Rodina's... trust that nearly suffocates her.

Sending out a dragon crystal at random sounds like an unpopular thing, but in Rody's eyes, it's perfectly normal—he always only pays attention to practical benefits, and he doesn't care much about "game skins", "rare mounts", and "limited pets". Such things with empty names but no practical use have been sneered at.

Although the dragon crystal is precious, it can only benefit Elson City in the hands of Camilla, so in Roddy's view, holding it by himself is a real waste

Leaving Pasha'er Demon Tower, he didn't know that his unintentional behavior had deeply changed Camilla's impression of himself, and he still took care of himself on the city management page] Flipping through the complicated and expensive building start-up costs, and then thought Thinking about it, I turned to the [attribute bar], looked at the more than two million experience points, and thought about the upgrade.
