Chapter 165 165. I want this land
Not only them, but even Croya couldn't help but stand up, this...ah?
Magic veins are equivalent to spiritual veins in immortality novels, but they are a little more special, because many complex causes are needed to form a vein that can flow.
Many magicians believe that the magic vein is equivalent to a small crack and projection of the etheric world in the main plane. Only in this way can we explain why it has an endless flow of magic power.
Generally speaking, they are divided into levels one to twelve just like the level of wizards - this is the upper limit of the highest level of wizards in this plane world.
The magic pulse can do so many things. First of all, it can provide pure magic power, which can power the magic circle without any conversion.
Secondly, if the magic power inside is extracted a little, you can make a magic power restoration potion.
Finally, a planting and breeding base can also be built around the magic vein. A new territory can be developed around this magic vein.
So even Croya is a little bit ready to make a move.
The magic vein in front of the apprentices now is constantly flowing with liquid magic power. It is estimated by visual inspection that it must be two levels or above.
After the liquid magic power flows out, it will turn into invisible magic power and spread into the surrounding environment.
The apprentices are already a little overwhelmed.
Although the education they received included the identification of magic veins, it did not say how to deal with it because it was too difficult to encounter.
They could only turn to the myconids for help, or to be precise, Croya who was staying in the castle.
Cloya looked over there, thinking.
The magic vein cannot move. If you want to occupy this magic vein, you can only add this beach to your territory.
It’s not that far, only twenty kilometers.
He thought for a while and glanced at the map hanging nearby: "This is the scope of White Gull Island, and its lord is..."
This map is composed of Bartos and Luo The answer was immediately given on the map completed by Bob: Blackwater Knight.
The Black Water Knight is already trapped in Baron Andy's castle. Although he is not dead after being bled, he is probably close to it.
After he comes, he will probably be controlled by him at will, with no ability to resist at all, so his territory will naturally belong to Croya.
The worst thing that can happen is that a puppet will be promoted to power. On the surface, it will maintain the illusion that it is still a noble territory, but behind the scenes, it will be secretly manipulated by him.
Doing so would not provoke the fragile heartstrings of those nobles - although Cloya was enough to beat up all the nobles in the northern part of the Norland Kingdom.
But we still have to consider the reaction of the kingdom and more nobles.
Chloë made a decision immediately.
"I want this land, and I allow you to get the help of the tortured people if necessary, go ahead."
The mage's words were passed through the myconids, and they are waiting. The eyes of the apprentices who followed the instructions immediately shone.
This is not only the discovery of treasures, but also the expansion of the sphere of influence. This should be the first time that Croya has explicitly stated that he will occupy a certain area.
Of course they can’t wait to get the first credit.
“Follow your will!”
They saluted the myconids and immediately set off for the castle where the Blackwater Knights lived. As long as they occupied that place, it would basically be considered a success.
Chloe was not idle at the castle either. He called Robert and told the latter:
"Send a team of people to the Blackwater Knight's castle. When you arrive, By that time, they should have almost finished building the space magic array.”
The multi-space channel C-type array he purchased can be freely transmitted within a hundred kilometers, so he happened to install one there.
This kind of space array is a fool-proof installation, just unfold it according to the picture, and then install the magic nodes inside.
Of course Croya has already trained the knights and their men to install this kind of magic circle.
After all, he is also his subordinate. It would be really embarrassing if he couldn't even build a magic circle.
With the help of the space magic circle, unless there is a big boss who can cut off the space connection, no matter what happens, he can send people to suppress it.
Now that you have decided to occupy that area, you must take it seriously and see if there are any minerals there while also carrying out infrastructure work.
He does not intend to participate in these things. All he cares about is the magic veins and those ores.
As for other chores, leave them all to the farm servants and knights to see what they can build.
After all, he can't be asked to personally take action in every little thing, so what's the point of being a lord?
"Sir, I wonder if we can arrange for Joshua to go."
After listening to Croya's arrangements, Rob asked the knight Joshua to lead the team in person. This little thought is already very obvious.
As he grew older, of course he wanted to pave the way for his son. Being Croya's housekeeper was originally a very good profession, but Joshua could never learn it.
If you can't be a steward, then you have to be a knight worthy of the name.
“You.” Croya nodded at him and did not refuse.
Rob smiled.
It is true that Joshua is quite good and has some management skills, so it is appropriate for him to go.
So he agreed simply and neatly.
"I will reward you if you do things well, and you can let anyone go."
He finally explained some things and waved his hand to let Rob go.
The latter quickly resigned and hurriedly found his son who was training.
Joshua was sweating profusely at the moment and was lifting dumbbells with his upper body naked - of course this was what Croa had originally created.
As a result, it suddenly became the favorite of these knights. It can be trained and can be used to roll iron, so that Croya doubted whether this thing was really that fun.
Rob is also incomprehensible.
Although his body is still strong under Cloya's conditioning, he is still unable to lift iron without any protective measures because of his old age.
"Father? Why are you here?"
Joshua quickly put the dumbbells on the ground, picked up the cloth on the side and wiped his sweat, and said strangely: "Not yet today. When I was on patrol."
Rob picked up the water glass and handed it to him, saying:
"After drinking the water, go out quickly. The lord is going to occupy the territory of the Black Water Knight. His apprentices are already doing it. Take the lord's magic pet and go quickly!"
"Huh? Cough? Ahem..." Joshua couldn't swallow a mouthful of water and almost choked himself.
He didn't care about drinking water, he quickly put on the clothes and armor on the side, and ran out in a hurry.
Rob was left to pick up the water glass, his face a little helpless, but more of a relief.
To be honest, I have been on Hanjiao Island every day during this period. Although it is comfortable, it is also a bit boring. In addition to training every day, I teach students.
He and his son have long wanted to go out and exercise.
Now is the time!
……
Time passed quickly.
Twenty kilometers away, that is, it took three hours to arrive, all thanks to the quality of the people led by Joshua and the help of the Ice Demon Rabbit.
With the help of these rabbits, they slid on the snow on the sled and truly experienced an unforgettable enjoyment.
When Joshua arrived here with people carrying the space magic array and led by the myconids, the apprentices had also finished the battle.
For them, it was easy for them to occupy such a castle where most of their men were taken away by the Blackwater Knights. It took no effort at all.
After learning through the myconids that someone was coming to support her, Lisa waited at the gate of the castle early.
After meeting Joshua, she said respectfully: "Instructor Joshua!"
"You did a good job, Mr. Croya praised you." Joshua said this In one sentence, he waved to his subordinates: "Go and find a suitable place to arrange the magic circle."
"Really? That's great!" Lina felt even more excited when she heard Croya praise them. of joy.
She took Joshua into the castle and introduced: "There were more than a hundred soldiers in this castle when we came. Except for some recalcitrant ones, the others were temporarily locked up."
“We found 500 gold coins and 20 magic crystals in the castle, and also found about 700 kilograms of various grains.”
She too We had just taken control of the castle, so of course the first things we found were from the knight's room and warehouse, and we hadn't had time to look through other places.
According to Croya's standards, this gain is actually not much, but in the eyes of these apprentices, it is actually a lot.
Especially the more than five hundred gold coins.
Stacked together, the golden color makes people look at them. It is the purest desire. "The magic crystal must be handed over to the lord, and you can distribute the rest among yourself." Joshua nodded and said.
“Yes.”
Although Lina is a woman, she also understands that if she wants her subordinates to be loyal, she must reward them.
The trophies that Croya doesn't like are naturally rewards for his subordinates. They should hand over the bulk and divide the rest.
The two of them walked and talked, and soon they walked through the entire castle, and soon discovered something new - there were ten strong black horses in the stables of the castle.
They are leisurely eating the soybean leaves and fodder sent by the farm servants. There is even a charcoal pot burning in the stable, which is very warm.
Joshua raised his eyebrows, stepped forward and looked directly at these dark horses, an expression of joy flashed across his face.
"Not bad!"
Of course these horses are not Warcraft, but from his point of view they are good horses. After bringing them back, they can just make up for the shortcomings of some horses.
Hanjiao Island is a coastal area with no lush grasslands and grassland pastures. It can be said that there are very few wild horses.
But how can a qualified knight not have a horse?
Warcraft horses are rare, but ordinary horses like this are quite good and suitable for novice training. They can finally teach equestrian skills to apprentices.
In the next period of time, they were busy investigating the situation here while waiting for Croya's arrival.
......
The magic circle was quickly built.
Cloya came here personally through the magic circle.
He didn't pay too much attention to what was going on inside the castle, and took Lina and the magic apprentices to the seaside.
On the way, he also took a look at the magic crystals, which were first-level magic crystals, but first-level magic crystals were considered very good.
If it was really a second-level magic crystal mine... he would probably have to consider killing people and silencing them. There is a huge difference between first-level and second-level.
For the second-level magic crystal mine, it is estimated that even the Mage Association will personally send people to receive and manage it.
What he needs to determine now is how much reserves this magic crystal mine has, how it was formed, and why no one has discovered it before.
As for those white stones, he took them in his hand and looked at them. They exuded a very terrifying cold air. If this cold air comes into contact with human skin, it can cause skin necrosis.
It seems to be naturally formed.
But when he looked carefully, he found a strange magic power inside. It was a magic power from Warcraft, and there was a strange fishy smell.
‘Did it fall from some magical beast? ’ He was confused and decided to search carefully after going to the beach.
If we really infer based on the strength and fluctuation of this magic power, it is estimated that this monster is at least level three. Level three monsters... are already beyond the reach of ordinary people no matter what.
For the planting base that I plan to build in the future, this potential threat must be completely dealt with.
Soon, we arrived at the beach.
He took a look at the floating seaweed and said:
“It’s really the fluorescent algae of Thirsty Sea.”
Just one glance and he was very sure that these were indeed It is the Sea of Thirst Fluorescent Algae, not due to the Celestial Spirit Body Imprinting Technique, but from the understanding of this kind of seaweed.
His pile of Thirsty Sea Fluorescent Algae has been used as a blanket and quilt. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. He is already very familiar with the magical fluctuations of this kind of algae.
The reason why they become like this seems to be because the ice magic here is particularly abundant.
Cloya walked directly to the sea, gathered his magic power in his palm, and then lightly pressed against the sea.
“Pa!”
His magic power took over the sea area with a radius of about three kilometers.
The sea surface suddenly shook violently, and the seaweed floating in this sea area was vibrated by the magic power and gathered together.
The slightly deep sea water below was exposed.
Immediately afterwards, he gathered his magic power together and made a pushing motion.
“Wow~Wow~”
About twenty meters from the soles of his feet, the seawater was pushed away by a strong force, revealing the beach and land beneath the seawater. .
The coastline retreated thirty meters directly.
The scattered magic crystals and magic veins were naturally exposed in front of everyone, and the fish that had not had time to escape were flapping their tails and struggling.
The apprentices opened their eyes in surprise and took a breath. Although they knew that their lord was very powerful, but pushing the sea water away like this...how many tons of sea water would it take?
It is with a little understanding of magic that they can feel the power and unfathomability of Croya.
“Go pick it up.”
Although it is not very tiring for Croya to maintain the sea water, it cannot be done for a long time.
He gave instructions to the apprentices, and these guys recovered from their surprise and quickly stepped forward to pick up the magic crystals and white stones.
And he himself walked slowly to the magic vein, pressed his fingers on the ground, and performed the earth and stone shaping technique.
He was curious about what was underneath.
As the magic took effect, the soil below surged, and the magic power emitted by the magic veins gradually increased.
But a few seconds later, Croya suddenly felt something and jumped to the side, avoiding an arm with a suction cup that emerged from the soil.
"Master Mage!"
After seeing this scene, the apprentices wanted to gather around, but Croya waved his hand and refused.
"Just go and do your thing, don't worry about this place."
According to his perception, the magic power of this thing fluctuates at level three, and octopuses are notoriously cunning and cunning. It's hard to kill, but these apprentices will affect him if they come over.
"Oh, there really is something." He stared with interest at the arm and foot that stretched out in front of him about one meter long, and activated the astral body engraving technique.
Soon I saw a huge octopus lurking under the soil.
Visually estimated that its body is seven or eight meters long, and its arms and legs are more than twenty meters long. One of them is currently extending out, passing through the soil layer, and most of them are still buried underneath.
‘Cold-armed octopus. ’
As far as the Warcraft octopus is concerned, it is not particularly big.
The legendary truly huge Warcraft Octopus can even extend its arms and legs to tens of thousands of meters, and can compete with the legendary mage in the sea.
He remembered that when he first conquered the fluorescent algae of Thirsty Sea, they had once expressed their consciousness and said that they no longer need to be eaten by the big octopus.
Is this the big octopus they are talking about?
If you want to eat the giant octopuses at the third level of Warcraft, they can indeed be eaten as snacks.
Kloya thought for a moment and did not dig out the octopus directly. Instead, he conveyed a consciousness to it, a friendly consciousness.
Be polite before fighting. He is not a devil. I heard that octopuses have a high IQ. If this guy is willing to talk nicely, he will not do anything to it.
But if it is unwilling to accept peace talks.
Then Croya could only bear the pain and taste the taste of such a huge octopus tentacles, and he didn’t know whether the meat would become old due to its huge size.
Perhaps there was a little bit of this thought in Croya's consciousness, and the octopus's whole body was trembling a little.
It soon squirmed out of the hole in the soil. Its body was so flexible that it was indescribable, as if it could shrink its bones.
Finally it appeared in front of Croya.
Well, it’s still huge, but it’s also a little cute inexplicably.
It is completely white, and even the suction cups on its arms and legs are translucent in color. Apart from being a bit huge and having particularly strange eyes, it is not unacceptable.
"You..."
Chloya just wanted to ask, when he suddenly felt something was wrong, and the ground under his feet seemed to be shaking.
It was as if something was about to erupt.
Thanks to the boss of Boogie Crazy for the reward and the monthly votes of all the bosses. Wow, there are so many things at the end of the month. Thank you very much... If I can get 1,000 monthly votes, I will update more at the same time as 10,000 updates next month!
