Chapter 332: Looting the granary and the Archmage’s magic tower! (7200)
After a while, Cao Xing clapped his hands and returned to the granary.
"Very well, I'm the only one left here."
"Now, it's time to get down to business!"
The corners of his mouth curved.
Looking at the mountains of food in front of me, there was strong joy in my eyes!
Because soon all the food will be his!
But before that, there was still a problem before Cao Xing.
That means there is too much food here.
And his backpack only has 80 spaces...
The various resources collected earlier, plus some props, already occupy 20 squares of space.
In other words, he only has 60 spaces to install it.
Based on the calculation that a backpack can hold 4,000 kilograms of grain, he can only hold a maximum of 240,000 kilograms of grain.
There is certainly no way to transport all this food out at once.
Cao Xing sighed: "It's a bit troublesome. There is too much food, which is also a distress!"
If other survivors heard his troubles, they would probably curse Cao Xing to death behind his back.
After all, now, although everyone is not as short of food as when they first entered this world.
But they are also tightening their belts.
As the population in major territories increases, the problem of eating alone every day will stump many people.
This is true even for the top-ranked legions.
At this stage, until everyone's territory is cultivated, it is impossible to be self-sufficient through farming.
So either go hunting outside, or go shopping in nearby villages and towns.
But that all requires all kinds of resources.
So it's impossible for him to go to those camps of the Light Church when he's short of food, almost treating them as his own warehouse!
At this moment, Cao Xing thought for a moment and quickly found a solution.
He first dialed Liu Muxue's phone number.
The other party chose to answer almost instantly.
"Axing, how are you doing there? Nothing unexpected happened?"
Liu Muxue's concerned voice came to her ears.
Cao Xing chuckled and said, "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with me."
“There’s still quite a harvest to be had!”
After hearing the reply, Liu Muxue gradually felt relieved.
She said softly: "Yeah, it's okay."
Cao Xing continued to ask: "Muxue, how many space backpacks do you have there?"
The person on the other side thought for a moment, and then replied: "I only brought 6 of them, all of which are 40 squares."
These space backpacks were all acquired by Cao Xing in previous transactions.
Now everyone knows the importance of space backpacks.
But the output rate of this thing is extremely low.
Among the aborigines, this thing is also very precious and precious.
Even among the nobles, few people can possess it.
After all, space is involved and production is extremely difficult.
Moreover, the space backpacks used by the indigenous people do not have such a large capacity.
Just like the hidden space grid, you can store as much stuff as there is space in the backpack.
Cao Xing and the others have a backpack stacking function that comes with the system. They can almost use one backpack as more than a dozen backpacks.
But even so, not everyone can have this kind of prop.
Especially those backpacks with more than 20 slots are extremely rare, and not even two can be seen in the entire trading market.
Cao Xing's six 40-square backpacks also cost him a lot of resources.
He thought to himself: "Muxue's backpack has a total of 240 spaces and can hold a total of 960,000 kilograms of grain."
"Coupled with my own 60 blocks of space, it is completely enough."
"As long as we make a few more trips, we can transport all the food here!"
Thinking of this, excitement gradually appeared in his eyes!
"Sure enough, it's better to raid such a huge city, resources will come faster!"
I thought he had fought so hard the previous night and bulldozed so many camps before plundering more than 70,000 kilograms of food!
But now, after walking around for almost two hours, I have harvested millions of kilograms of grain!
This efficiency is so fast!
And according to the two cultists on the ground, there was more food in this granary in the past two days, but most of it was taken away by the Church of Light!
Cao Xing felt heartbroken when he thought of this!
Originally, these grains belonged to me, if only I could come earlier!
Although he wanted to think about it, he also knew that now was the best time.
If he had come two days ago and he had not acquired this powerful camouflage skill, he would not have been able to get in.
The number of hunters in the city will also be many times greater than now!
He shook his head and put the thoughts away from his mind.
Cao Xing asked Liu Muxue and the others to continue waiting for him outside.
Then he began his search journey!
He walked over directly and put piles of food into his backpack.
[Get: Peeled Wheat (40KG)] *177 bags
[Get: Rice (40KG)]*194 bags
[Get: Dried Bacon]*724KG
【get……】
…
As the system prompts continue to sound, the mountain of food in front of you is also decreasing.
In less than five minutes, the remaining 60 spaces in the backpack were completely filled.
This also means that Cao Xing has an extra 240,000 kilograms of food in his backpack!
The grain in this granary is already empty.
Cao Xing sighed: "Yes, the transfer function of the backpack is really convenient!"
"Now, it's time to go out and transfer this food."
He also seized the time and quickly left the granary.
Then, late at night, he disguised himself as a white-robed priest and made his way to the outside of the city without any hindrance.
Immediately afterwards, he got out of the barrier again.
After confirming that no one noticed his whereabouts.
Cao Xing quickly walked towards where Liu Mu and others were.
…
…
A few kilometers away.
Liu Muxue and others were still waiting behind the pile of stones.
Seeing a white-robed priest walking straight towards him, everyone was unsure whether it was Cao Xing, so they did not act rashly.
They all remained calm, with some vigilance in their eyes.
After Cao Xing came over, he confirmed that no one was around.
It quickly changed back to its original appearance.
When everyone saw that familiar figure, happy smiles appeared on their faces.
Elisa took the lead and said: "Lord, welcome back!"
Assam also prayed solemnly: "Lord, may the goddess of luck protect you."
Facing the concerned greetings from everyone, Cao Xing smiled.
He didn't have time to reminisce with them, so he said directly: "Muxue, first hand out all 6 backpacks in your hand."
Because space backpacks are props, each person can only equip one.
Under normal circumstances, if it is an empty space backpack and there is nothing in it, it can be put into other space backpacks.
But if there is something inside, it cannot be stuffed into other space backpacks.
Liu Muxue also knew that Cao Xing was very pressed for time now, so he quickly took action.
She assigned a space backpack to Tong Chuchu, Sarah, Assam and others.
Then, Cao Xing began to quickly transfer all the food in the backpack into their backpacks!
"Crash!"
The massive amount of food gradually piled up into a hill in front of everyone.
Since the items in the space backpack cannot be transferred directly to another backpack, they need to be taken out first and then collected by another person.
Liu Muxue also took the lead to step forward and put all the food into her backpack.
Watching Cao Xing conjuring up an astonishing amount of food like magic.
Looks of joy and excitement gradually appeared in everyone's eyes.
However, when Liu Muxue filled up the entire backpack.
After seeing that Cao Xing was still taking out a large amount of food, they gradually turned from excited to shocked...
Bronn touched his bald head and said blankly: "My ancestors! Lord, this is a robbery... How much food did you find? So much food, it feels like it is enough for us to eat for a year!"
Andrew next to him clasped his palms together and said piously: "The will of the God of Nature protects the lord, thank you for the gift of nature..."
Including others, they were equally surprised!
After all, the amount of food Cao Xing brought out was terrifying, and its value reached an astonishing level!
"Axing, so many?" Liu Muxue asked softly.
Cao Xing smiled and nodded.
"Well, that's not all. There are many more."
"I have to hurry up and make a fortune before I'm exposed!"
After hearing this, Liu Muxue nodded excitedly and said, "Yeah! Be careful."
Little Chuchu clenched her fists and encouraged: "Brother, come on!"
"good."
After saying that, Cao Xing quickly turned back and walked towards Duolun Lake City.
Looking at the huge city in front of him, Cao Xing was also excited!
For him, this is simply a golden mountain!
All he needs to do now is seize the time and move as many things as possible inside, and then he can greatly increase the wealth of his territory!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but speed up my pace.
Soon, Cao Xing walked straight through the barrier.
But this time, he did not enter through the main entrance.
After all, it was already late at night.
A white-robed priest walking in and out of Duolun Lake City will definitely attract the attention of others.
Cautiously, he came to the foot of the city wall. After confirming that no one was on top, Cao Xing took out the ejection hook.
"call out!"
The hook hit the wall and led him over quickly.
Soon, he came to the vicinity of the granary again.
Then follow the same pattern and fill the backpack with the food inside.
He returned to Duolun Lake City again and transferred the food to the backpacks of Liu Muxue and others!
Although such frequent visits will increase the risk of exposure.
But compared to this income, it is worth it!
It took about an hour for Cao Xing's action to finally come to an end!
The time...has come to two o'clock in the night.
And this huge granary was completely searched by Cao Xing!
Just as he expected, this wave directly harvested nearly one million grains!
Converted into units, that’s five million food!
It can be said that they traveled thousands of miles to Duolun Lake City this time.
These profits alone are enough to make a huge profit!
At this moment, Cao Xing could hardly help laughing.
"Hahaha! Damn, this is so exciting!"
My own altar to the gods and warriors.
Breaking through the fourth level and the fifth level requires 5,000 units of food, which is 1,000KG.
If there are more than 200, at least more than 200,000 kilograms of grain will be needed.
This time, the problem was completely solved directly.
"Very good, now we just need more crowns and other resources..."
"I hope... there will be other surprises in this city!"
Thinking of this, Cao Xing gave Liu Muxue and others some instructions.
Then he continued to jump into Duolun Lake City.
Since it was already late at night, the whole city seemed very quiet.
Cao Xing was standing on a street at this time, thinking to himself: "Tomorrow, the Bright Church will find out about the loss of the granary."
"In other words, there is still one night left for me."
"Then for the rest of the time, we won't search in the periphery. Let's go directly to the central city and try to maximize our profits."
"After all, that's the most luxurious area in the city."
So, Cao Xing came to a deserted corner and transformed into the captain again.
After a moment, a safari captain holding a long sword and wearing a mask on his face came out of the corner.
Duolun Lake City is very big.
It takes at least an hour to walk from the outer city to the central city at normal speed.
It was already late at night, and Cao Xing definitely couldn't rush over with a burst of speed, otherwise he would be noticed by the red-robed bishop inside.
He also tried to maintain a normal speed.
It took about twenty minutes to arrive at the central city.
The architecture here is indeed more luxurious.
The neat streets are lined with buildings of different shapes on both sides.
Various mansions, lofts, and some entertainment venues.
Each building covers a large area and is decorated with various lamps, stone ribbons, exquisite reliefs and other decorations.
This is a place where only the rich can afford to spend time.
However, looking at the deserted streets, a new question arose in Cao Xing's mind.
That is——
"Where are those White Walkers?"
Through the last live broadcast, everyone knows that the Church of Light has hidden a large army of White Walkers in Duolun Lake City.
However, Cao Xing has been wandering around Duolun Lake City for so long, but he still hasn't found any trace of the White Walker army.
Even the three red-robed bishops were nowhere to be seen at this time.
"strangeness……"
But soon, his eyes were attracted by a gorgeously decorated shop in front of him.
It says: [Jatis’ Gold Shop] “Oh? It’s actually a gold shop?”
"If it can be opened in such a location and has such a large area, there should be a lot of gold in it, right?"
Cao Xing's heart moved and he forgot about the problem of the White Walkers.
There was a look of anticipation on his face.
He quickly circled around the gold shop and found the window to enter.
After landing firmly.
The situation inside was disappointing.
The gold shop was in chaos, with various counters overturned on the ground and scattered everywhere.
Including the second floor, the same is true for the third floor.
Cao Xing searched for a moment and found a silver ring in the corner.
He thought to himself: "It seems that this gold shop has been looted."
With a look of regret, Cao Xing returned to the street outside.
Then he moved quickly and searched several shops.
The situation is similar.
Everything inside has been ransacked by these cultists.
Cao Xing didn't get anything valuable inside.
"So, all the shops in the central district have been searched by them?"
After thinking about it, this is normal.
After all, the Church of Light is not stupid either.
They must know that the central city is the place that contains the most resources.
Therefore, as soon as the giant city was captured, it was all searched and the resources were gathered together and maybe transferred out.
I looked at the time and saw that it was already half past two in the middle of the night.
Cao Xing set a time for himself to leave Duolun Lake City before six in the morning.
In other words, he still has three and a half hours.
“Currently, there are very few resources left in the central city.”
"I have to make use of the remaining three and a half hours."
"Let's go back to the outer city to search first."
After all, the peripheral benefits are also quite good.
During the previous two hours of searching, he had obtained millions of crowns and bills worth tens of millions.
If we can maintain this efficiency, we will gain a lot in the second half of the night.
Just when he was about to turn around and leave, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a strange building in front of him.
This looks like a tower.
The floor height is nearly thirty meters, and it is divided into seven floors!
The tower appears to be made of a dark purple stone, and the walls are engraved with ancient and mysterious runes and patterns.
These runes and patterns shone faintly from time to time, forming a circle of blue magic shield.
"Good guy, so luxurious?"
"This thing doesn't look like a mage tower."
With some doubts on his face, Cao Xing approached.
Then, the information about this building appeared in front of me.
[Archman Genadi’s Magic Tower (Special Area)]
…
"The Archmage's magic tower?"
Cao Xing didn't know who Genadi was, but he noticed his title.
You know, any archmage has some level six or above strength.
Coupled with the fact that he was also a mage, he immediately became curious about this [Magic Tower].
He came directly to the bronze gate under the magic tower.
The blue shield in front of him seemed to have lost its effect and did not block Cao Xing.
Then, he opened the door directly.
"Boom..."
As the heavy door opened, a breath of magic suddenly rushed in front of him.
After Cao Xing entered, a system prompt appeared.
[You have entered the special area: Archmage Gnadi’s Magic Tower]
【Notice! Genadi is the guardian of Lake Duolun City and one of the two major guards of the city lord. His magic tower is a private area and outsiders are prohibited from intruding. Once discovered, you will be expelled...]
…
Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing's eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise.
"I see, is this Archmage the city lord's guard? No wonder he can live in a place like this, and a separate magic tower was built for him."
He quickly glanced at the scene in front of him.
There was a look of disappointment.
As expected, everything inside was ransacked.
The Church of Light will definitely not let go of such an important area easily.
He looked at the messy tables, chairs and benches around him, as well as the scattered papers on the floor.
Cao Xing picked up a random one and took a look at it, and found that it was some magic notes.
However, the contents of the notes were rather messy. It seemed that the Archmage had recorded them casually, which was of little help to him.
Cao Xing continued to search, looking around.
But at this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Huh? They didn't take these things away?"
On the wall next to him, he saw rows of wooden bookshelves.
It is filled with a large number of books. A rough estimate is that there are at least more than a hundred books!
Looking over, the names of books appeared one after another.
"Not as evil as you think"
"On the Origin of Magic"
"Thirty-three Days Imprisoned by the Night Demon..."
"On What It's Like to Be a Vampire and a Night Stalker"
…
Cao Xing's mouth twitched.
"The scope of this archmage's research is quite wide..."
He also accepted all comers and put all the more than a hundred books into his backpack.
"Not bad, not bad. It just so happens that the library in my territory is about to be built. These books can be taken back to replenish the library."
After searching the books here, he continued to search carefully inside.
But it is obvious that the Church of Light’s looting is extremely clean.
Cao Xing only picked up a few low-level scrolls and some stones containing weak magic power in the corner.
[Obtain: Second-level Wind Blade Magic Scroll]
[Obtain: Level 3 Wind Blade Slash Magic Scroll]
[Obtain: Magic Crystal (Green)]
…
"Oh? Magic scroll, what is this?"
Cao Xing looked at the attributes.
[Second Level Wind Blade Magic Scroll]
[Prop effect: After injecting a small amount of magic power, you can directly release a second-level wind blade technique, causing 112% tearing damage to a single enemy]
…
[Level 3 Wind Blade Slash Magic Scroll]
[Prop effect: After injecting a small amount of magic power, you can directly release the third-level spell, Wind Blade Slash, causing 137% wind attribute damage to the three enemies in front]
(Note: Mages at the archmage level can imprint their own spells on blank magic scrolls, which only require a small amount of magic power to cast)
…
A look of surprise appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.
"I see, this kind of magic scroll is quite easy to use. You can actually use spells from other professions directly."
"And the most important thing is, this thing has no cooling time."
"If there are enough magic scrolls in my hand, I can release them all at once and kill the enemy with my skills!"
Of course, this cost is relatively high.
After all, you can tell with your feet that making a magic scroll is not that simple.
And only a mage of the Archmage level can make it. This threshold is already frighteningly high.
Therefore, this kind of scroll must be very precious.
Cao Xing thought to himself: "It seems that this great mage is a wind mage?"
"Speaking of which, there is no wind mage in my territory."
Several small black stones appeared in his hand, containing relatively weak magic power.
I looked at the properties.
[Magic Crystal (Green)]
[Effect: A crystal that contains weak magic power. The mage can absorb magic power from it in the state of 'meditation', increase 1000 experience points, and increase some magic power affinity (number of uses in a single day: 10)]
(Note: A precious spar that allows mage apprentices to increase their magic power. It has relatively few sources. There are small amounts of spar in some magic-filled mineral veins.)
…
"Oh? These magic crystals can not only increase experience points, but also increase affinity?"
"For those mage apprentices and junior mages, this thing is a good thing!"
As mentioned before, the natives of this world cannot quickly upgrade by killing enemies before joining the lord's command.
And with this kind of crystal, they also have a way to accelerate and become stronger.
Coupled with the assistance of the [Mage Tower], a junior mage can be promoted to an intermediate mage or even a senior mage in a short period of time.
Of course, this will cost a lot of money, which is equivalent to the flow of krypton money among the indigenous people.
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, "Although it has been searched again, the harvest on the first floor is not bad."
"As expected of a great mage, a little bit of soup is worth astonishing value."
Soon, he continued to the second floor and started exploring.
The situation on the second floor was similar to that on the first floor. There were messy cabinets all over the floor, and everything had been searched.
Including the third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors, basically the same.
But through Cao Xing's careful investigation, he still got some good things.
[Obtain: Second-level ‘Wind Blade Technique’ magic scroll*5]
[Obtain: Level 3 ‘Wind Blade Slash’ magic scroll*3]
[Obtain: Level 3 ‘Wind Chi’ magic scroll*2]
[Obtain: Magic Crystal (Green)*32]
[Obtain: Magic Crystal (Blue)*15]
…
I took a look at the properties of the two new props.
[Third level ‘Wind Chi’ magic scroll]
[Scroll effect: After injecting a small amount of magic power, you can release the 'Wind Speed' on yourself or your friends, which will increase the movement speed by 20% in the next 30 seconds]
…
[Magic Crystal (Blue)]
[Effect: The crystal contains some magic power. In the 'meditation' state, the magic power can be extracted from it, increasing the experience value by 3000 points, and improving the magic affinity (number of uses in a single day: 10)]
…
"Oh? This wind speed technique is quite good. It can directly increase the movement speed by 20%."
"I just don't know, can the skills released by this kind of magic scroll be blessed by the power of eternity?"
Cao Xing decided to give it a try right away.
He took out a scroll with a faint breath of wind directly from his backpack.
Follow the method above and inject a touch of magic.
After a moment, an invisible strong wind burst out from the scroll in his hand.
The strong wind fell on Cao Xing's legs, making him feel that his whole body became lighter.
[Successfully used [Third-level 'Wind Chipping' Magic Scroll], the movement speed increased by 20% within 30 seconds. Affected by the talent [Eternal Power], this spell has become a permanent state...]
…
"Haha! It sure works!"
Cao Xing was very excited.
After all, the 20% movement speed bonus is no joke.
Now that Hilda and Victoria are not around, the halo effect on them cannot be used, which is equivalent to losing 50% of the speed bonus, but now it has almost been made up.
(PS: The halo itself exists permanently and is not affected by the power of eternity. Otherwise, it will cause conflicts in the setting. This is how it was set before. The author is not overpowering the protagonist ovo)
The current movement BUFF on him is [Queen's Will] + [Black Mist Totem] + [Wind Speed], which reaches a total speed bonus of 120%.
At this speed, even leader-level assassins of the same level would find it difficult to catch up with him.
"Not bad, not bad. In this way, the survivability has been increased a lot."
A smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips.
Then, he went directly to the top of the tower.
This seems to be the place where the Archmage often stays.
There are many of his daily utensils, wooden barrels, wooden beds, wooden basins, etc.
There is also a magic circle on the ground surrounded by magic crystals.
But those precious magic crystals have been taken away.
"Damn, these bastards looted so cleanly!"
"One day, I will find your lair and snatch all these resources back."
Cao Xing said bitterly and continued to scan around unwillingly.
And at this moment, he seemed to have accidentally caught a glimpse of a gray-white treasure chest!
It was used as a storage box and placed haphazardly in the corner of the tower, covered with dust.
"Oh? Is it a silver treasure chest?"
With some curiosity, Cao Xing stepped forward and the system prompt appeared.
[I found the unlocked Haoyue Treasure Chest. Do you want to open it? 】
Cao Xing: "!!!"
"Holy crap! This is actually a bright moon treasure chest!"
