Chapter 236 236. About the infrastructure of the Gray Desert
After the banquet, Croya actually experienced a hangover, and he lay lazily on the soft sofa unwilling to move.
He did not use magic to wake up quickly, but allowed himself to fall into this lazy state, which still felt different.
He stroked the shivering Wucailong lying next to him, not much bigger than a dog, while his eyes were fixed on the crystal clear sapphire held between his fingers.
Nowadays, he is no longer a little mage who has to bother to buy a magic book. During this period, he not only bought books from the Mage Association, but also from the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce.
The saying that knowledge is power is indeed true for the mage, so he easily recognized what this treasure was -
"The Heart of the Clear Spring."< br>
"Let me take a look, it seems like this..."
Croya muttered and threw it to the ground, tracing in the void with his fingers, the mage's hands were as flexible as his There is no difference between my hands, and I draw a magic circle composed entirely of magic power on the ground.
The center of the magic circle is the crystal clear sapphire.
The magic power flows in the magic pattern and is transformed through the heart of the clear spring. Finally, the clear spring water flows out, which is absorbed by the grass growing on the ground and does not flow around.
Honestly, it’s pretty cool.
So he simply cut off the piece of turf, casually added some magic materials as filling, then asked the tower spirit to connect the magic supply, and placed it in the corner of the bookcase as a running ornament.
Don’t mention it, the clear spring and flowing water are quite beautiful.
“Over at Greystone Ridge, let the construction team build the infrastructure.”
“Good master.”
After giving instructions to the tower spirit, he stared at Looking at the distance - that was the map of the Gray Desert given to him by the Lord of Gray Sand. To be more precise, it was the map around Gray Sand City.
Since the first batch of grain transactions, Lord Gray Sand got the news from somewhere. He heard that there was a construction team composed of mages in Croya.
Then he strongly hoped that Croa could help him improve the infrastructure construction of Gray Sand City and the surrounding city. To this end, he promised to hand over all the magic plants, monsters, mineral deposits and other harvests encountered along the way to build the facilities. To Croya.
This is actually the mining right.
You must know that each lord is very strict about the resources in his own territory. He does not allow anyone to covet them casually. Even if they stay there to eat ashes, they will not give them away casually.
This sincerity is obviously enough.
So Croya is still quite interested.
After all, who would dislike having more resources? There are enough resources to support his magic research, support the operation of the undersea factories around Hanjiao Island, and support the learning process of more and more apprentices...
The current Lord of Gray Sand does not know whether he is with What agreement had been reached by the Holy See, and since he had buried the seventh-level archmage, the Kingdom of Norland was no longer able to restrain him.
The Gray Desert no longer belongs to the Kingdom of Norland.
Even if Croya cooperates deeply with him, it will not cause dissatisfaction among the people in the Holy See.
Besides, he really wanted to see what was going on in the Gray Desert. This kind of infrastructure work that changed from disorder to order was fascinating.
He looked at the map and the terrain marked on it carefully, his expression getting worse and worse, thinking about what to do.
To be honest, the location of Huisha City is pretty good.
Lord Gray Sand has tried his best to choose an oasis that was once the largest, with a radius of about three hundred acres, and was surrounded by flat sand to build the city.
In such a magical world, there is a level 10 God's Favorite sitting in charge. There is no need to worry about defense. One person is an army.
After all... neutrality requires strength.
How can you be neutral if you don’t have the strength?
But, no matter how good the location is, it becomes a bit worthless given the environment.
——Due to the magic power of Leviathan summoned by the Lord of Gray Sand, the Gray Desert is now in an extremely unstable state, and there will be floods from time to time without warning.
Although the Gray Desert can carry so much water, the sand has all turned into semi-liquid quicksand, making it impossible to pass through safely even without flooding.
Although the Lord of Gray Sand used the magic power of Leviathan to remove as much of the corrosive demonic power as possible, it still caused the creatures in the desert to mutate.
Those monsters hide in the quicksand and will attack passers-by.
Coupled with the environment created by the conflict of magic power, the entire gray desert is not suitable for building a space magic array, and problems can easily arise due to the instability of magic power.
Perhaps in a few hundred years the conflicts caused by these strange magical powers will naturally be digested, but if it really takes a few hundred years...
"No wonder they gave such good conditions."
Cloé Ya rubbed his eyebrows and began to think about how to build infrastructure smoothly.
To get rich, build roads first.
Such a harsh environment must have a safe road to carry out subsequent work, whether it is transporting materials or anything else.
The phantoms of various magic plants flashed in front of him, and the parameters of various magic plants were marked in detail. He looked at it carefully, and finally noticed an ordinary-looking purple plant. It is a leafy plant with flat leaves, somewhat similar to lotus leaves.
That's... duckweed.
To be precise, it is an elemental magic plant, its full name is Evil Sea Purple Magic Plant.
The name seems to be a very evil magic plant, but in fact the "evil sea" refers to the environment in which it grows, an area where the magic structure is extremely complex and unstable.
There are many such places in the sea. After all, the sea, even if there are a few remains of gods jumping out of it, Croya still faces it with a smile.
"We have to test it first."
After temporarily determining what magic plant to use as the main body, he contacted the Gray Sand Lord through the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce and unceremoniously asked the other party to send him a few tons of sand to make it. Scenario simulation.
When Lord Gray Sand learned that Croya was finally willing to start construction, he was so excited that it was indescribable and he immediately sent ten tons of sand.
Although he stole the power of Leviathan and forcibly turned himself into a tenth-level Demon God's Favorite, he really had no talent in managing the territory.
He is like a child who suddenly got a huge treasure. He wants to bring everything to his hometown, but he doesn't know where to start.
Now that I heard that Croya was willing to help, I was simply overjoyed. I personally grabbed a large handful of sand and brought it over - for a tenth-level God's Favored One, one handful was ten tons.
......
After the sand arrived, Croya found a place and built a small battlefield simulating the environment in the gray desert.
Not only the sand, but also the flood that surged out of the soil like Leviathan's wrath and the gray mist lingering in the air were reproduced as closely as possible.
——The gray sand shows a flowing shape, but it looks calm to the naked eye. The flow has become relatively still, and the gray mist is lingering, full of ominous atmosphere.
Beside him stood apprentice Jamie.
This is the first time that Croya has contracted external infrastructure construction, so it must be done by his most trusted and experienced apprentices.
Jamie also knew this, and he stepped carefully into the gray sand to experience with his own body what kind of threat there was.
As a result, just as he stepped in, there was a huge attraction under his feet, which also contained cold magic power, making him fall in without even reacting in time.
The cold magic power was like an eerie snake, winding its way up along his feet. It froze his magic power and also made his consciousness a little blurry, making him want to sink into the sand involuntarily. Deep sleep forever.
He is a third-level magician! This is just a gray desert simulated by Croya, but it actually has such terrifying power.
However, he did not panic. Instead, he sensed as much as possible and tried to figure out whether he could save himself - the mages always believed that even the most sophisticated instruments could not sense as quickly as his own body.
Because he knew very well that he would not die, and the teacher was standing far away. It was really rare to be able to take risks without fear of danger.
Kloya is indeed waiting for him to use his body to feel the magic power in the gray sand. He cannot follow him, and he can only leave things over there to Jamie and the others.
Suffer more now and it will be easier later.
After a while, just when Jamie was about to truly sink, Croya finally took action, and the four-color magic power formed a rope and pulled him up in one fell swoop.
The power of warmth instantly dispelled Jamie's coldness, and he ran away to get the materials without even shaking.
"You..."
Kloya didn't even have time to stop him. He could only shake his head helplessly, took out the evil sea demon Ziping, and threw it into the sand sea. in. These Zipings have been engraved with the magic of "enlargement" by him. As long as they come into contact with the magic, they will quickly grow in size.
This is also true. After Ziping came into contact with the gray sand, it immediately took root deeply in it, and then began to grow wildly and become huge at the same time.
The leaves of duckweed completely covered the gray sand in an instant.
"It seems okay." He tried to walk on the duckweed and jumped a few times. The duckweed under his feet was still as hard as a rock, without shaking or anything.
But in Croya's perception, these magic plants can withstand the magic pollution of the sea, and can even spread out a piece of purple seaweed, which will soon wither.
Now, its roots that have penetrated into the gray sand have begun to turn gray, as if they have been corroded by something.
The magic power belonging to Leviathan...
"It's like a dose of poison."
His perception is very keen, and he sighed softly: "The curse in the gray desert does not know where it comes from. Where, but only this kind of almost vicious curse can fight fire with fire."
There is no doubt that this is indeed a good thing for the people who will live in the desert in the future. The demon's magic power died together, leaving them with a piece of green land.
But now, it’s hard to say.
"It seems that I not only have to make it adapt, but also have to make it purify these magic powers."
Cloya knows that the carriers of these magic powers are, to put it bluntly, flowing inside. Liquids, those liquids contain the malice of Leviathan and are considered a kind of magic water.
Although it is indeed vicious, if you think about it from another direction, this is an extremely powerful source of magic power, but it cannot be easily used.
Of course, it is impossible for ordinary people to use it.
After a short period of thinking, he came up with a way and began to carry out crazy modifications to the evil sea purple magic pill - the modifications are divided into two types, the first is to make it adapt to this kind of magic power, and the second is to be able to adapt it to this kind of magic power. The magic separates from the water.
The devil's magic power is useless to ordinary people, but it is very valuable to him. As for the curse power that the gray desert has in it, he also wants to study it.
Since these two kinds of magic have been carried through "water", he separated the water and then collected the magic by planting magic plants in the sand.
This kind of transformation method is much smarter than simple infrastructure construction, and can even speed up the normalization of the gray desert.
But he didn’t plan to tell Lord Hui Sand directly. He would let the other party see this favor with his own eyes.
The engraving was completed quickly.
This time Croya imprinted it with magic learned from other magic plants and monsters——
[The imprinting was successful, the Evil Sea Purple Demon Ping (adaptation of the Zerg) The ability is separated from the tentacles of the Deep Sea Demonic Sunflower (roots)]
[The form of this magical plant will change. 】
[The roots of the evil sea purple devil will change into the form of the deep sea devil's tentacles, and have the extendability of the tentacles and the function of absorbing magic power. 】
【Evil Sea Purple Devil Weed will wither more quickly in harsh environments, but it will grow rapidly after withering until it adapts to the environment. 】
[Note: Sufficient vitality is required to perform the above magical properties. 】
After the prompt appeared, the Evil Sea Purple Demon Ping, which originally seemed quite normal, instantly became abnormal.
The first is its roots. The roots of Purple Ponce are extremely thin and long, and can spread out over a large area in the water, which can help it absorb nutrients to a greater extent.
But now, the roots have all turned into tentacles.
The top of the tiny purple tentacles has a suction cup-like structure, which begins to extend rapidly in the sand. The tentacles of this deep-sea magic sunflower are malleable and can even extend more than ten times the distance. .
When they absorb the moisture and magic power of Leviathan in the gray sand, they will wither quickly because they cannot withstand the magic power, but just like a gecko with its tail cut off, it will quickly wither if one section is broken off. Growing out verse two.
In this way, withering and growth alternate.
Although it is not possible to adapt to it now, progress will surely be made soon. As long as the roots can adapt, the leaves will not be a problem.
"It's quite easy to use. This magic comes from the Zerg and sea anemone. It is probably more practical than some magic created by humans."
Chloya nodded with satisfaction, with a smile from the corner of his eye. From the corner of his eye, he saw Jamie coming over carrying large and small bags - it was a space magic device produced by Hanjiao Island, using the shed skin of the Ether Demonic Wolf.
That's right, that magical monster can actually shed its skin.
God knows the shock that Croya felt when he saw those guys squirming in a pile of skin, with no skin, exposing the magic veins in the body that were similar to blood vessels.
It’s really scary, but it’s also really useful.
As long as the skin of this kind of magic wolf is sewn together, a natural small space can be formed inside. Although it is not very big, there is enough decoration material.
The only problem is that the appearance of the etheric wolves in the material world is really strange, which makes their skin equally strange.
At first glance, it looks like a real person carrying a creature from the comic book world, which is very inconsistent.
Chloë couldn't help but smile a little.
Jamie, who rushed over excitedly, was stunned when he saw the purple apples on the gray sand, and said curiously: "Teacher, this is..."
"Let’s start with them as the center. Build it. ”
“I modified them to be able to bear weight and survive on the gray sand. ”
After listening to Croya's words, Jamie nodded immediately, without asking any more questions, and started the construction work without saying a word.
The material he chose is an "alloy" made of silver moon wood and another seabed mineral deposit, floating sea iron. Because a sufficient amount of silver moon wood dust is added, it has a certain ability to float. .
When he placed the silver-blue alloy plate on the duckweed, and used the duckweed as a landing point to start building roads and houses like building blocks, Croya knew that this time it was a serious matter. It worked.
However, he still didn't say anything. He just gave Jamie more authority and asked him to start busy in this desert with his promising apprentices who had also been promoted to civil magicians.
Time begins to pass.
Half a month after Croya’s birthday party, there was already a dazzling silver-blue light in the desert——
The bridge and bridge built based on floating moon alloy Houses were built on duckweed. Wherever the duckweed could grow, bridges and houses made of alloy were built.
Bridge houses and even squares and platforms have formed a village.
This is a complete miracle of magic. The structure of steel alloy is full of regular beauty, which is similar to the combination of nature and magic that Croak used to use before but not exactly the same.
But the alloy did not completely grow with the duckweed. It just used the duckweed as a foothold, bonded it with magic material, and grabbed the duckweed tightly like hooks and claws, making something like him It has the same structure as a stilted building in its previous life.
Tall houses and bridges are suspended in mid-air, and the only supporting points are the inconspicuous duckweeds underneath.
It is these seemingly small magic plants that hold up this silver-blue village.
When the sun falls, it will shine on these roots that have penetrated deeply into the purple duckweed in the sand, allowing them to enjoy the gift of sunlight.
When the wind and sand rise in the desert, and the huge flood like Leviathan sweeps along with the sand, the purple duckweed will use its roots to stand firm in the flood.
They silently sink their roots into the deepest part of the soil, providing as much stable structural support as possible for the buildings above.
The buildings built on top of Duckweed have undergone strict sealing tests, and their surfaces are also engraved with magic patterns. Whenever a flood hits, just close all the doors and windows, and you can Standing still.
More, such as water pipes, air circulation in the house, life-sustaining magic patterns...
Kloya did not care about any of these.
He just called Jamie and the apprentices who had worked hard for half a month, had a meal with them with a smile, and then sent them onto the teleportation array to the Gray Desert.
Today's apprentices are already worthy of his trust.
The only thing Croya was curious about was how far they could go and what kind of miracles they could create in that desert.
They should not let themselves down.
Thank you for your monthly votes and recommendation votes, the desert infrastructure construction has begun~
