The month of harvest (September)
At the beginning of the month, the little goblin Mocha came back. It brought more than 1,800 dirty goblins. Although they saw many humans and many goblins were a little panicked, they still followed the little goblin Mocha.
"Don't accept it, die, go down, eat, mocha, great!" This is the law of mastering the silver medal and transforming into the goblin wizard's little goblin Mocha. In a short month, this goblin Mocha swept all goblin tribes on the island, and with the help of magic missiles, he became the head of the unified goblin tribe.
It was a spectacular scene for more than a thousand goblins to take a bath. Such scenes stunned countless humans. Even the old barons came out to watch. When they finished taking a shower and got ashore, the river water was still black. However, according to Anne's pre-order, the goblins also obtained each black bread, while the little goblin Mocha could enjoy the fragrant white bread and half a chicken.
When Anne came to the goblins, the originally noisy goblins suddenly fell on the ground in panic. This scene made other humans look at each other, but then they returned to the power of magic.
"Ten goblins have a house, Mocha has an independent one. I will take them to work tomorrow. If you don't accept it, I will beat me and kill me. We have bread!" Annien bent down and touched the little goblin Mocha's head!
"Yes, master, but mine is gone." The little goblin Mocha could listen to and read the common word. It was flattered, but immediately took out the silver medal. This was its guarantee of its position in the goblin tribe. Ann knew at a glance that the six magic missiles inside had run out."
"I will charge you, come tonight."
The little goblin Mocha nodded quickly: "They will work for their masters. Whoever doesn't want to, will smash it to death!"
After eating black bread, the goblins were assigned to the wooden house by the little goblin Mocha. Although ten goblins only had one room, it was already a luxury for them. After all, for a long time, the goblins lived in either caves or grass nests. They lay on the wooden boards. The goblins got out of fear and began to roll happily. Their head, the little goblin Mocha, lived in his own special room with pride.
Annien was also very happy that if these goblins could make them work honestly, they would be a large group of laborers. Although the geese were slightly less energetic than humans, it was still more than enough to carry wood and fire kiln bricks. He took out a drawing of the castle and ordered all relevant personnel to build the castle tomorrow.
The place of the castle was built not far from the original Blue Fort. According to Annion's idea, in order to build a semi-permanent castle, a stone castle must be used. The strength of this castle is quite powerful. However, if you want to mine pieces of stone and cut them into qualified stones, the labor inside is too great, so Annion ordered the wall to be built with bricks.
In fact, in this era, the bricks produced by this earth kiln were not hard and durable, and there was no cement reinforcement, so the castle would rather use huge stones than use bricks. However, Ann didn't care. In fact, this was not because he decided to be a little simpler, but he knew that there was a magic - turning mud into stone!
Bricks are essentially soil, so once he reaches level 9 mage, he can use this level 5 magic that turns mud into stone. With his level, each magic can turn 500 cubic meters of acres of acres of acres of sandstone, and can be used at least three times a day. In this way, 1,500 cubic meters of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of acres of a sandstone rock walls in a day.
Therefore, whether it is one thousand eight hundred goblins or one thousand seven hundred slaves, they are working hard under the threat of full bread and meat, as well as the threat of whipping and hanging. The first thing to be built was a city wall with a circumference of 1,500 meters, all made of acres of bricks, and clay fills the gap between the bricks. This city wall is a concentric circle wall, divided into two layers, with the inner wall far higher than the outer wall, in order to give the archers on the inner wall a greater field of vision and shooting range, thus forming cross firepower on the inner and outer walls. A circular tower is built at each of the four corners of the inner circle, so that the importance of the main tower of the castle becomes unimportant, so Annien omitted the main tower in the design, because the precisely designed tower and the gatehouse can persist independently even when the enemy attacks the inner wall.
Of course, according to the design, a huge lake will be dug around the castle to surround the castle as a moat, and the river water is drawn from nearby lakes, but of course this is not necessary now, so you can take it slowly.
Four thousand people worked hard to make these walls, which were considered quite magnificent by people at that time, were completed within a month and a half. By then, it was almost the month of reserve (November).
If winter comes, it will be difficult to work. Therefore, after the city wall is completed, the salt field does not require so many people according to the temperature. All the extra people are concentrated here. Six thousand people have been concentrated to build the main foundation of the castle. According to Anion's design, the slaves dig soil and use stones to store them. Stones must be used here, because even if Anion uses mud to transform into the solid, it will be difficult to implement such magic underground in the future, so stones have to be used. In order to provide a large amount of meat, dozens of ships go out to fish every day, and a large number of fish are consumed. Finally, under the struggle of everyone, the foundation construction was completed before the heavy snowfall came.
When winter comes, everyone is still busy. Their job is to log and open the way. There are also a large number of people walking around the island, conducting a whole island survey with ten people. Annien needs them to make a complete map of the island and mark the situation and output of each location. Not surprisingly, someone found patullater, which is the proof of the copper mine.
However, these are their business. With the completion of the city wall, the calculation is that the wall has 12,000 cubic meters. With Annon's own power, it turns mud into stone four times a day, and it can be completed in eight to ten days. However, the most important thing is that the rock produced by this magic can only be soft stone, such as sandstone, rather than the granite he wants.
Although sandstone is actually good, according to the original earth memory, sandstone is one of the most common rocks. It is a solid sandy rock composed of quartz particles and is closely linked to it, so it looks hard. At least it is much harder than bricks, but sandstone has obvious particles and is very rough to the touch.
In this world, the properties of sandstone are similar, but of course the city wall does not need to be particularly beautiful, so the rough spots don't matter, but if it is an inner castle, there is a problem. Such stone is not beautiful at all. Anne, who was standing by the window and staring at the wall a little far away, thought of this problem and decided to find a way to solve this problem.
As for why the castles in this world are not all built with mages, this question is too simple. The appearance fee of level 9 mages is at least 2,000 gold coins. If you want to build a castle, you must have at least nearly 100,000 gold coins to win. At such a high price, it is better to build a stone yard and mine stones by yourself!
Besides, who would do such rough work by level 9? If it weren't for the castle's own, Annien wouldn't have been willing to do it himself.
The usual banquet belongs to the nobles and is the pinnacle of the enjoyment of this world. The only exception is the New Year Festival of the Gods during the New Year - legend, on this festival, God spends the New Year with people, and comes to the world to listen to everyone's voices. Therefore, tenants and even slaves will receive a feast given by the lord on this day. The stingy master will become generous on the New Year Festival of the Gods, in exchange for blessings from the gods.
Of course, the old Baron and Annien were no exception. In order to prepare for the New Year of the Gods, everyone was busy early. During this festival, everyone ate white bread instead of black bread. Because they collected a large amount of wild fruit, they brewed a large amount of fruit wine. Therefore, even tenants and slaves were given some. The main dish was roasted rabbit meat, which was most popular among tenants and slaves because it was tender and fragrant.
According to the tradition of the nobles, there were very few vegetables in banquets because the nobles believed that vegetables were eaten by inferior people, but Annin did not care about this tradition at all. He preferred the combination of meat and vegetables in the earth's Chinese cuisine. However, in general, in order to take care of other people, the food was mainly barbecue and stew, with salt, pepper, cloves, and fresh fish.
Because the nobles felt that the meat of poultry was not very fresh, it was not very popular in the banquets of the nobles. Therefore, most of the meat of poultry was rewarded to tenants and slaves, so that they could taste other meat flavors. As for the banquets of the nobles, fresh wild game, such as wild boars and pheasants. The fish species are also very rich, including herring, cod, trout, salmon, and wine. At the banquets of the nobles, wild fruit wine is a bit shabby, and wine must be purchased from the mainland to meet the needs of the banquet.
However, what made Annien feel very strange was that the precious fruits at the banquet were actually ripe - the taste was greatly reduced. After asking carefully, it turned out that there was a rumor that the fruits were not good when eaten raw, so the fruits at the noble party were ripe one after another, which made him speechless.
The Blue Castle was already full of festive feelings, the nobles had banquets, and those tenants and slaves who had stopped working and said that they were relatively rich in wine and meat were gatherings and carnivals.
Since the new castle has not been built yet, it is still inside the Blue Castle during the Chinese New Year. However, the roads are finally a little more solid and wider. The original old baron of Blue Castle was not in the mood to build anything like gardens, but because Anne's mother had lived for a while, there was still a small garden, and some green trees in winter were still quite beautiful.
Soon, the banquet began. This time, it was Brother Bi who came to call him: "Young Master, the banquet is about to begin, please come here soon!"
"Okay, I'll come down right away." Annien closed the book and came down. He found that even the servants in the hall below had changed into new clothes, showing joy. Of course, this was because Annien had obtained a large amount of income, so both clothes and food were doubled, and more than a dozen servants were added. Now it seems that they are a bit of a noble family.
When they walked into the hall, almost everyone bowed to him when they saw it. Because they were located in a remote island, there were not many other nobles involved. Most of them were some managers in the territory, as well as some free people with a little manners. They were allowed to bring their families at the banquet. Although they were afraid that their children would not understand the trouble, most of them did not take care of their children, but there were still hundreds of people, which seemed very lively.
"Baron is here!"
At this moment, the old baron also came out. Although the old baron is fifty-four years old, he still wore a dress and a knight's cloak. He even had his hair very smoothly. He was really energetic and looked very in good mood.
"Hello sir!" Almost all of them present were his leaders, so they hurriedly bowed to him.
But what attracts people is not him, but the two ladies behind him, especially the eldest lady Alce, who has already turned fifteen years old during the Chinese New Year. According to the tradition of the nobles, this New Year Festival of the Gods is equivalent to her coming-of-age ceremony, so she wears a very luxurious dress. In order to show her beauty, she abandoned the thick snow leopard leather jacket. Although she is still wearing a thick dress inside, she is wearing a silk long skirt with petals on her lower collar, revealing her snow-white cleavage. A silver silk belt is tied around her waist, which makes her waist look particularly delicate and straight, which also makes her chest stand taller.
As for the second lady Eshal, she is only thirteen years old during the Chinese New Year. Although she looks like she has a small breast, she is still a Loli. In comparison, although she has another kind of beauty, she is not as good as her sister after all.
Alce is indeed beautiful, and she is the eldest daughter of the lord. According to the rules of the nobles, the people who knew her coming-of-age ceremony specially brought their suitable son. Everyone knows this situation and their thoughts are the same.
Als followed the Baron and greeted some people, but obviously, few people here could have such a close position with the Baron, and the old Baron was notoriously rigid, so the greetings with the old Baron were very short, and most of them were just congratulations to the Baron by various families. At the same time, they hoped that their son could leave a relatively deep impression on Als during the greetings - if they could marry Als, they would naturally receive many benefits in the territory.
Next, it was the respect and congratulations to Annien. It was obvious that the people present had a higher awe of this young heir. They were a magician and so talented that they quickly earned huge wealth that they could not imagine. How could they not flatter them?
Everything was done, and then many people entered the table at the same time. In fact, at this time, it was also a combined meal system. There was no saying that there were seven or eight people, or even ten people at a table. Then, first toast to the Baron, Anne, and Miss.
After eating and drinking, everyone who had some etiquette slowly revealed their nature. After all, there were not many real nobles here. Even the old baron himself was just a civilian knight. As for the rural knights and free people below, of course, they were even more vulgar.
So, the sound of drinking and bragging immediately became louder, but the old baron seemed to like this scene very much, probably reminding him of the situation in the military camp, so he looked at it with a smile.
"Today, let them drink and eat happily."
With this instruction, wine and meat were brimmingly served in the kitchen, especially in the later stages, large pieces of barbecue were directly served. At this time, according to the rules, the specially invited chanting poets came forward to sing and cheer them up.
The banquet was late at night, and the candles had already been lit, but there were so many candles that were rare. In fact, even if there were, the old baron couldn't bear it, so the hall looked darker, and Els next to him drank a little more wine, so his face looked a little blushing.
Annien gently touched Alce's towering and snow-white chest, and her tip rubbed against his palm. Although it was only a moment, it was an unforgettable and delicate feeling. Alce didn't speak, but just came back and smiled at him.
At this time, there was a noise at the banquet. He quickly looked over, but found that a poet chanting was accompaniment for a dancer. The dancer tilted his toes and stepped on the beat. In winter, she was still wearing a dance uniform while dancing. Her slender and graceful long legs were very suitable for dancing. When she turned, everyone cheered for it.
Annien was surprised. He knew the poet. Although he did not disguise himself as a clown today, the comparison of the memory of the intelligent brain would not be wrong, and his feelings would not be wrong. He had issued an order to require merchants to move out of the island. Why did he still stay on the island?
In this case, the chanting poet has no great profit to make, unless he is not a simple chanting poet, thinking of this, he summoned a servant.
Because the servant wanted to avoid the intimacy between Annien and his sister, although the atmosphere was open, such a situation was not something these servants should have seen. So after waiting for a while, he saw Annien's summoning action and hurried forward to obey the orders.
"Go and tell the chanting poet later that I will give him thirty gold coins and ask him his name!"
"Yes, Master."
After waiting for a while, at one interval of dance, the servant went and came back and reported to Annien: "His name is Osha, and he said thank you for your reward."
However, since he had the patience to wait for half a year, let him wait for the first half of the year. No matter what, it is better for him to solidify his foundation first. His strength is so weak. Now, Tuoyou does not want to have close contact with other forces under the alliance of elves and princes. There are only disadvantages and no benefits. If he doesn't leave, he will talk to him when the castle is built, so that he can take the initiative.
Chapter completed!
