Chapter 209: Summer Grain Harvest

Resurrection is a seven-ring magic, and it is also a spell that large magic organizations must master. As long as the body is intact and the soul has not been hit, the resurrection can be used to revive the dead.

Mastering this spell is almost like mastering a second life.

After receiving the letter from Deng Lejin, Richard decisively chose to exchange with the Dawn Church.

After improving the spell, Richard immediately asked Heath and Butler to learn this spell.

Heath and Butler are both low-level magicians in the Death Tower. Heath is already a second-level magician and is about 40 years old.

His magic talent is average. He was forced into the Death Tower at the age of 22. It took him almost 20 years to learn magic before he was upgraded to the second level.

People like Heath are the templates of most magicians.

Element affinity is average, and there is no talent for magic research. He has studied magic all his life, and he cannot break through the middle level when he is old.

Young middle-level magicians like Richard and Sofia are actually a minority in the magic world. Even in the Markholm Magic Kingdom, middle-level magicians under the age of 30 are still very rare.

Heath has been studying the Book of Death for many years, and his body has been eroded by the magic particles of death. He is skinny and coughs frequently. His lung disease is quite serious, and it seems that he can't hold on for too long.

Heath has a lower status in the Death Tower, and is not as good as some talented apprentices. His task in the Death Tower is to deal with some highly polluted magic materials.

Heath feels extremely painful because of such work for many years and his body is eroded by negative energy every day.

The fear of death lingers in his heart every day, but his soul is imprisoned in the crystal ball. He wants to survive in the Death Tower, and Heath dare not refuse the task assigned by the above.

Richard and Deng Lejin drove away the necromancer Savio, and Yura also died from the backlash of magic.

The magic crystal ball that controlled the members of the Death Tower was destroyed by Richard, and Heath finally gained freedom.

He was very grateful to Richard and Deng Lejin. After coming to the Harland territory, Heath no longer practiced meditation, but learned two spells: blood typing and ultrasonic detection.

Recently, Heath is also preparing to learn two spells, sleep spell and treatment of minor injuries, and is preparing to transform into a healing wizard.

Even though Heath's magic is of death attribute, using life magic is ineffective, and the magic consumed is very large. The effect is only about half of that of a normal magician, and using too much will cause magic conflicts. Learning is also difficult and takes more time than normal magicians.

But Heath still enjoys it, and is very hardworking in learning healing spells. He has already learned the spell to treat minor injuries.

After several months of recuperation, Heath's health has improved a little. His lung disease has been cured by the hospital for the most part, and he has a little muscle on his body. Although he still looks a little thin, he is not like a skeleton when he first came.

In the Harland territory, Heath also got married and married a 28-year-old widow.

It seems that Heath is ready to say goodbye to the past completely.

Richard saw Heath's change and granted him the qualification of a formal member of the Harland Mage Association in advance, making him a free man, and appointed Heath as the vice president of the hospital.

There are four deans in Harland Hospital now.

The dean is Adrian.

Adrian is a member of the Harland family. He has been studying magic for four years and was promoted to a senior magic apprentice in June this year. Adrian not only knows magic, but also has superb surgical skills. He is the third-best surgeon in the hospital. He participated in the compilation of anatomy textbooks and is now an important figure in the medical field of Harland Territory.

The first-ranked deputy dean is named Soya, a veteran when the hospital was founded. She is not a magician and her surgical skills are also average, but she has strong management skills and is good at summarizing experience. In the research of hemostatic ointment, Soya's contribution is second only to Richard. Soya is now responsible for managing the hospital's internal medicine and also managing the hospital's finances.

The third place is Griffin, a surgical knife. Griffin is also an ordinary person, but he is very talented in surgery. The goddess of dawn gave him a pair of stable hands, allowing him to save lives and save countless lives. Griffin has very in-depth research in surgery and anatomy.

The last one is Heath. Heath learned the spell to treat minor injuries. He didn't have any magician's airs. Even if the doctor apprentice asked him to cooperate with the operation, Heath would not complain.

The status of magic doctors in the hospital is superior. Heath is the first magician who is not arrogant and responsible. He is far superior to other magic apprentices in the evaluation of doctors and nurses.

Compared with Heath's dedication to integrating into the territory, Butler is very uncomfortable.

Butler is only in his twenties, with high magic talent, and is the key personnel trained by the Death Tower.

Although Butler has no blood debt, he has a sense of belonging to the Death Tower.

After the Death Tower suffered a heavy blow, Richard and Deng Lejin got the meditation method. Naturally, they would not train necromancers. Without the subsequent meditation method, Butler's road in magic has been cut off.

Butler is only 23 years old, younger than Richard, and wants to continue to develop in magic. Unlike Heath, Butler likes magic very much and is eager to master power.

But this situation makes Butler very frustrated. He has been trying to escape from Harland Territory and look for Savio, the leader of the Death Tower.

Richard is very concerned about the thoughts of the members of the Death Tower.

Butler's behavior can be seen at ordinary times.

Feeling that Butler's thoughts were not right, Richard was going to talk to him and give him a chance to see if there was any room for salvation?

Butler didn't know that there was always a pair of eyes behind him.

Ruiz, who joined the intelligence department, had the task of taking a field team to monitor these new necromancers who joined the territory.

As long as there was an attempt to escape the territory, Richard would definitely not be soft on these necromancers.

Richard called Butler to his office, pointed to the chair and said: "Sit down by yourself, pour water if you want to drink. How is it, are you used to it during this period?"

"Everything is fine in the territory." Butler was summoned by Richard alone, and he had a guilty conscience. His hands were shaking and his legs were a little weak.

"It's good to be able to adapt. I don't know whether you are lucky or unlucky?

You are lucky. The Death Tower discovered your magical talent, let you embark on the extraordinary path, and changed your mediocre fate.

But you are unfortunate. The Death Tower made you leave your hometown and killed your relatives. In the process of learning magic, you were deliberately made to kill each other and paid a painful price.

You are still young and there is still hope in magic research. Don't think too much and go on the wrong path."

After listening to Richard's words, Butler raised his head, his heart couldn't help but feel sad, tears flowed down, and he cried: "Is there really hope?"

"Actually, there is. Recently, I have created a new The meditation method is called the Book of Flame. This meditation method is of fire attribute. Just after the fifth level, a new apprentice has learned the Book of Flame without any sequelae. This is enough to show that I have a very deep understanding of meditation and have made deep discoveries.

As the Book of Flame gradually improves, I will deduce a dark energy element meditation method based on the characteristics of the Book of Death. You have not been promoted to a first-level magician for a long time, and you are not seriously eroded by the energy of death. You should still have a chance to switch to meditation. The next research focus of the Territory Mage Association will also be on this aspect.

That's all I have to say. It's up to you to choose. "

After returning to his room, Butler thought hard for a long time and finally decided to stay in the Harland Territory.

As long as there is hope, people will not go to a dead end.

Butler has joined the Death Tower for six years and has witnessed countless killings.

Even if he finds Savio, relying on the tradition of the necromancer, his life will inevitably be controlled by Savio and he will do many dangerous things for Savio.

As long as he can still learn magic and his strength can continue to improve, Butler is willing to stay in the Harland Territory.

Not born with anti-human personality, everyone wants to live in a stable social environment.

After pacifying Butler, the remaining magic apprentices have average talents, and only two have medium magic talents. Richard talked to them separately and said that he would create a meditation method suitable for them to learn, temporarily stabilizing the two apprentices with good talents.

As for the apprentices with poor talents, Richard settled them in the hospital and asked them to learn auxiliary spells such as toxicity detection, light magic, and repair magic.

Riverbank Primary School has been in operation for three years and has about 380 students.

The primary school is divided into three grades, a total of ten classes. Some of the students with the fastest learning progress have graduated early. More than ten stayed in Riverbank Primary School as teachers, and more than ten went to the army as interns.

This fall, more than 8,600 slaves will expire and become free people.

By then, there will be 24,000 free people in the territory, accounting for about 22% of the total population.

In late June, the territory began to harvest in summer.

Every year when the grain is harvested, Richard will inspect the territory and see the summer and autumn harvests with his own eyes.

Especially the Diram Barony, which is now an important grain-producing area in the Harland Territory. This year, 160,000 acres of farmland were cultivated, of which more than 40,000 acres are river valley paddy fields.

If the Diram Territory has a good wheat harvest this year, it will obtain 16,000 tons of grain, which can feed 60,000 to 70,000 people.

Richard's cousin Tang En followed him.

Tang En is the eldest son of his third uncle Bernie, an official in charge of agricultural production in the Harland Territory. He has been in the Diram Barony for most of this year and is very familiar with the situation in this territory.

Tang En has average talent. He started practicing breathing at the age of 16 and was promoted to a professional in May this year.

Tang En is not too short of resources. It took him seven years to become a professional.

He did not join the main army, but practiced the Silver Wolf Breathing Method. According to his practice progress, he can be upgraded to the fourth level around the age of 50.

At the age of fifty, he had just broken through to the intermediate professional level, and there was no future for him in the practice of breathing techniques.

"This year, the weather was good and the summer grain harvest was good. But I found that some of the contract slaves in Baron Diram's territory had expressions of resentment and numbness. It seems that this group of people is not easy to manage?"

After listening to Richard's words, Tang En nodded and said, "Indeed. Most of these contract slaves came from Baron Harden's territory. Many of them were free people. After coming to our territory, they were demoted to serfs, and their living standards dropped a lot. There are a lot of strange words, some risked escaping, and even attacked the officials of the territory.

The most dissatisfied are the professional families. These people are the top leaders of Baron Harden's territory. Now they have fallen to become serfs. It is understandable that they can't accept the gap for a while, and it is mainly these people who dare to resist."

Richard squinted his eyes, thought carefully for a moment and said: "These people happen to be the most highly qualified people in Baron Harden. Many of them are literate. We must find a way to absorb these people and let them serve the territory. This Are there any people in the batch who perform well and are willing to cooperate with us? "

"Of course there are some."

"Find them here, I want to meet these people."

After hearing this, Tang En frowned and said, "These people have a grudge against us. What if they have resentment in their hearts and want to assassinate you when they get close to you?"

This is the biggest drawback of bureaucracy. It will always find ways to restrict lords from accessing the grassroots. Even if Ron is a member of the Harland family and Richard's cousin, he will still instinctively prevent Richard from reaching the lowest level.

The leadership has contact with the grassroots every day, so it is difficult for the bureaucrats to get in touch with them and rely on information gaps to deceive them. Emperor Daoguang couldn't afford eggs worth thirty taels of silver, which was a special manifestation of bureaucracy at its peak.

Richard waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "I am not a king yet, and life is not that valuable. If anyone wants to kill me, just let him do it."

Li noticed that he had awakened his talent for danger perception and could sense danger in advance. Coupled with his strength, he is enough to face most dangers.

On the attribute panel, Richard's mental power has reached 39 points, which is higher than the most rubbish nine-ring magician.

A magician who has not invented new spells and has no innovation in spell research will only have 33 points of mental power even if he is promoted to the ninth level. If he is born with stronger mental power, he will only have 35 or 35 points.

Such a magician has a very dull understanding of magic. Even if he has learned several high-level magics, he may not be able to defeat Richard in a fight.

Richard's strength already reached fifteen points, which was comparable to an average fifth-level warrior. For a person of his strength, unless a legendary assassin takes action, ordinary assassins are no match for Richard.

Seeing that Richard's words didn't sound very nice, his meaning was very firm. Tang En did not dare to persuade him any more and immediately summoned some people who were willing to take refuge.

This group of people are all truly smart people, even though they fell from the clouds to the valley. But they didn't blame others, they hated Richard who kicked them down from the top.

They knew in their hearts that the reason why they ended up like this was because they took refuge with the wrong lord and because the upper-level politics took the wrong side. The root cause was Baron Harden.

The fact that he has become so miserable has nothing to do with the Harland family or Richard.

Even if Richard doesn't come, other nobles will enter the Harden Barony, rob the population and turn them into serfs.

Relatively speaking, Richard is still a civilized person, his appearance is not ugly, and he is willing to give them a way out.

This group of people is quite large, with a total of more than a dozen households.

The total number of professional families in the Harden Barony is over fifty. A dozen of them are blood relatives of Baron Harden, and the remaining professional families only have about thirty people.

Half of the people here can see the essence of the problem clearly, and their bodies are more flexible. Families that can cultivate professionals are indeed better than ordinary people.

Richard talked with these people for a long time and decided to buy the bones with a large sum of money and give these people their freedom.

There were seven or eight educated people in these dozen or so professional families. Richard used these people according to their talents, either appointing them as grassroots bureaucrats in the territory or as teachers in the territory. He also recruited two young people. Joined the Army Staff Office.

After Richard promoted some talents from the people of Baron Harden, he achieved very good results. Many people immediately looked forward to life when they saw people who had successfully turned over.

There is no longer such strong resistance to Haaland territory.
