Chapter 369 Enchanting Plan
At this point, the arrangements for the prairie elves brought out have basically been completed.
Zhou Xu did not plan to stay in Salt Lake Village for too long. After they no longer needed to take ordinary people with them, the movement efficiency of their group on horseback could be said to have increased significantly.
They successfully returned to Black Moon Village before it got dark.
At this time, unless you travel all night, it will definitely be too late to rush back to Prairie Village.
"Today we will rest one night in Black Moon Village. You will return to Prairie Village early tomorrow morning. Don't worry about me. I have other things to deal with and will not return to Prairie Village for the time being."
This short sentence Drogo and Silk, who had endured too many impacts throughout the day, did not react much.
It feels like their minds haven't turned around yet, and are still stuck in the huge impact that Black Moon Village and Salt Lake Village have brought to them.
Zhou Xu didn't care about this. Zhang Xiaoshan made arrangements for them anyway. After he finished speaking, he turned around and returned to his residence in Black Moon Village.
After eating dinner in the house, a day of running around made him fall asleep quickly.
After another night of rest, Zhou Xu felt that his condition had basically recovered.
He got up a little late that day. By the time he finished breakfast in the house, Drogo and Silk had already set foot on the road back to Prairie Village thirty minutes earlier.
Ignoring them, Zhou Xu walked to the forging department after breakfast and called the director Wang Dachui over.
"How did you study the drawings that the messenger brought over before?"
Before returning Silk's silver steel sword to the other party, Zhou Xu specially found an opportunity. , rubbed the ancient elven characters engraved on the sword, and then asked the messenger to send the animal skin with the ancient elven characters as quickly as possible to Wang Dachui, the minister of the forging department.
Needless to say, Zhou Xu's request was that he would engrave this ancient elf text on the mass-produced swords in the future, and try to see if he could make a low-end version of the silver steel sword.
Faced with their leader's inquiry, Wang Dachui, who knew Zhou Xu's character, took him directly to the mold master. At this moment, the mold master was concentrating on carving the mold in front of him.
Needless to say, what was carved was the sword mold with ancient elven writing.
The characters are small, dense, and have different shapes. The mold master has never carved such a tricky thing. At this moment, I really feel like my eyes are going blind, but even one-fifth of them are Not finished yet.
When Zhou Xu came over, he had just finished carving one of the characters and wiped it with sweat. Before he knew it, beads of sweat had covered his forehead. He felt extremely tired and his eyes were sore. His head was so dizzy that he just wanted to close his eyes and rest for a while,
At this moment, they really didn't notice the existence of their leader.
After reacting, he immediately prepared to stand up and salute, but was held down by Zhou Xu.
"Sit down, don't be too polite, isn't this character difficult to carve?"
Faced with the question, the mold maker answered truthfully.
“Reporting back to the leader, I don’t know why, but it is very difficult to carve this. Basically, after carving one or two characters, you will feel dizzy and have to rest.”
Obviously, this is also the main reason why his work efficiency has not improved this time.
"This is ancient elven writing, which is essentially the same as a mantra. When you are carving it, it may be absorbing your power. Take your time, don't rush."
After a word of comfort, Zhou Xu, who confirmed the progress of the work, slowly left the forging department.
According to his plan, the forging department would first forge a sword with ancient elf writing, and then arrange for someone like an 'enchanter' to enchant the sword.
But now the problem comes, that is, so far, he has not found a suitable enchanter candidate. For some normal people at the two-star level, even if they do not directly activate the 'mantra', just carving the mantra characters will invisibly consume their mental power, because those characters themselves have some kind of power.
Like the mold maker, you may find it difficult to carve a few words, which shows that ordinary people do not have high mental strength and cannot meet that requirement.
According to Zhou Xu's idea, at least someone with three-star mental potential should be found to take this job.
In fact, the grassland elves who have just surrendered all meet this requirement. They are born with three-star spiritual potential.
But Zhou Xu doesn’t plan to use them for the time being.
Once the enchanted sword is successfully developed, there is no doubt about how high the status of the enchanter will be.
Under this premise, the prairie elves have just surrendered, and there are still many problems. It is the time when they need discipline. He does not want these prairie elves to gain some extraordinary status all at once. This is not good for them. Internally, this is not a good thing.
Excluding the group of grassland elves, Zhou Xu sadly discovered that he had basically no choice.
He actually has many subordinates with three-star mental potential and above, such as Ye Jinghong, Li Ce, Zhou Chongshan, Shi Lei, Zhuang Mengdie, Ye Yan, and Zhao Geng.
However, the problem is that they all have their own things to do, and it is impossible to be the enchanter.
You know, the workload of this enchanter will definitely be huge in the future, and they will have to consume a lot of mental energy every day. If they are allowed to do this part-time job, then their main business will definitely not be able to do well.
After such an investigation, there was only one suitable candidate left, and that was Wang Dong.
Wang Dong can be said to be the person with the highest spiritual attributes currently under his command, reaching a rather exaggerated four stars.
Now, he basically just teaches reading. In the face of his four-star mental attribute, the energy he consumes every day in teaching is almost negligible.
After confirming the candidates, Zhou Xu is not in a hurry to set off at the moment. The molds in the forging department haven't been completed yet, so he is not in a hurry.
Yesterday, because I brought Drogo and Silk with me, the inspection work was not done well.
Now it’s time to briefly inspect the situation in Black Moon Village.
With this purpose in mind, Zhou Xu took Zhang Xiaoshan on the road. He found that from the moment he returned to the village yesterday, the village seemed to be exuding a wonderful atmosphere.
The mental state of the villagers seemed to be very high, each and every one of them, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
【Is it because of the arrival of the prairie elves? 】
With doubts in his heart, Zhou Xu asked Zhang Xiaoshan the questions in his heart.
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan showed a meaningful smile on his face.
"Reporting to the leader, this is because there were many women among the prisoners sent back before."
"..."
If nothing else, there should be some prisoners today. The monthly ticket accumulation of 300 tickets will be updated, and the time is expected to be after ten o'clock. If there is an accident, just pretend that I didn't tell it.
