After the New Year, although the earth was frozen and could not be dug deep, there were many additional work to be completed inside a castle, such as preset sewers, wood preparation, city gate hanging chain system, paving roads in the castle, etc.

Therefore, after the New Year, thousands of people became busy, and two months passed and it was almost completed. When spring came and the land was thawed, everyone began to busy dig around the city walls. This was to dig a huge lake surrounding the castle as a moat, and the river water was drawn from the lake.

At the same time, the planning within the city wall has also been released. Stables, kitchens, storage rooms, warehouses, bakeries, laundry rooms, and servants' wooden houses have all been built one by one. In particular, the inner castle is composed of round tower columns, semicircular arches, decorated balcony, and door frames that are picked out layer by layer, thus creating a solid and multi-layered house, with very broad internal space, extremely deep progress, and profound.

This project has been built from the month of Fire Search (January) to the month of Planting (April), and roughly half of the buildings were built, so the remaining tenants returned to the salt farm and farmland, leaving only pirate slaves and goblin slaves still working - in fact, after half a year, all pirates and goblins with signs of resistance and rebellion were hanged, and now the people who are left behind are basically obedient. Even so, the combination of the two has exceeded 3,500 people, so the project is still going on at a very fast speed.

Like most castles, the roads in the castle are paved with pebbles and sand. Due to the proper planning, everything in the castle is well organized, and the maximum use of space and saves space. You can't see the messy and dirty things like ordinary castles.

In the month of gathering (May), although there is still a lot of work to build the castle, it has been basically completed. Annien stood at the highest point of the castle and stared down to see almost the entire island. At the dusk of sunset, the sunlight dyed a layer of golden yellow on the castle and the sea. As time flowed, this layer of gold slid across the farmland, forest, and sea in the distance until it disappeared.

A speechless touch made him speechless for a long time, and an extremely distant sound of nature accompanied by his melodious mood, as if he had been bathed in the ancient and sacred glory.

Since I arrived, my path has been so tense and urgent, because I am constantly pursuing strength, so I rarely have time to watch the beauty of this world so leisurely.

"Harmony form!" A kind of magic was formed in his heart. It seemed that there was no need for special construction. The magic drawings and three-dimensional models slowly unfolded. Then, magic energy was injected into it. For the first time, he felt that the extremely subtle elemental energy was cheering and jumping around him.

The harmonious form is a level 4 magic, which is a kind of magic that makes the caster consistent with the plane, thus reducing plane damage. However, now it is used, Ann immediately reminds Ann of a special word for a civilization on the original earth: the unity of man and nature.

Of course, this also means that after more than half a year, he broke through to become a level 7 mage and began to come into contact with the fourth-level magic net... Almost at the same time, due to long-term martial arts training, he had accumulated a strong physique as a level 5 warrior, which seemed to have also met some conditions.

"boom!"

The feeling that was already one with nature suddenly dissipated. In the boiling blood, each golden cell had a violent commotion. The commotion changed from ten, ten to hundreds, thousands to thousands to thousands to thousands to thousands to thousands to thousands to thousands to thousands to thousands to change... It was all exchanging with the responding elemental energy, and a messy light appeared on his body, and pain immediately attacked.

Fortunately, he was prepared and his intelligence immediately took over. Otherwise, these messy energy would cause him to lose control of the magic net almost on the spot, causing the magic backlash.

He quickly withdrew from the magic net, but every golden cell was exchanging energy with the outside world, and the process continued to increase and in a short moment, he knew that it was not good. If such a messy energy continued, he could only die. He had to choose an energy of an attribute for the golden cell.

"Wind, fire, earth, water!"

"Earth element!"

In an instant, either out of his choice, out of the choice of the intelligent brain, or out of the influence of some force, Annien issued an order, ordering the intelligent brain to influence the energy of the earth elements of the golden cells to absorb collectively, but almost at the same time, he ordered some of the original gold cells to be reserved.

The intelligent brain that received the order immediately played its role. Any gold cells that flowed through the blood, that is, the intelligent brain, suddenly absorbed the four elements from the disorder and turned into the earth element. On his body, the earth element was rapidly condensed, and the earth-yellow element light suddenly flashed. Countless elements came from all directions and surrounded him. After a while, he turned into a human-shaped stone statue like a petrified statue and stood on the top of the castle.

In fact, this little yellow light was not focused on the sunset. At night, because the yellow light had already been restrained, and Annen usually traveled between the castle and the pier, it was not rare to see people for a while. Moreover, he was at the top of the castle, which was rare for people. Therefore, no one disturbed him until the next morning, he woke up. The petrified body shell receded and the dawn had begun to appear, but there were still some twinkling stars in the sky, and the wind blew on him, which was very refreshing for a moment.

"Yanhuang Dragon Messenger Level 2, Earth Elements Domain!"

From then on, elemental energy can directly provide energy for his intelligence brain, and no longer use his life current. Since a large amount of energy is obtained, the intelligence brain has now entered a second sleep. It can be expected that when it restarts and wakes up again, it will greatly restore its function. Due to the passive turn to automatic, it will officially exert the power that an intelligence brain can exert.

After carefully exploring his body, he could only say that after this transformation, he had changed drastically. With the powerful elemental energy to support, the power of the golden cells was greatly enhanced. Similarly, his mental and mental level could also be strengthened accordingly. It is estimated that ordinary mental influence spells will be difficult to shake and influence him.

What surprised him even more was that with just one thought, a kind of yellow light would be produced on his body, which could reach about three feet, and there was a level of spell that charmed humans, which was solidified. Although the charming spiritual light with a three-foot radius was actually useless, because no one would let him get so close and be affected by the spell, this marked another great progress for him. Unfortunately, according to the energy level, he could only last for ten minutes now.

Of course, what surprised him even more was that he had automatically formed an additional spell: Stone Skin Surgery! It is an energy of earth element absorbed by gold cells. Judging from its energy, it is basically once, but is it once a day, or is it only once now?

It is not possible to directly assert now, but depending on the situation, it is obvious that the possibility of once a day is relatively high. This is a level 4 spell, which can cover one's body with a layer of stone-skin armor, and it will not affect one's actions. It can have a certain resistance to swords and bows. In this way, you will add an additional level 4 spell every day.

Talent, this is a talented spell. Legend, descendants of gods, descendants of dragons, and descendants of demons, will form talented spells because of the power of blood in their bloodlines. I didn’t expect that I would also form one. Think about it, such a stone skin technique can last for more than an hour with its current level and energy. How safe it is for me!

Thinking of this, Annien was extremely happy and couldn't help laughing. The pressure accumulated in this world was eliminated for a while and his heart was relaxed.

For Annien, life should return to its original state. After May arrives, the weather turns hot and the sun is getting hot. It is time to dry salt again. In fact, Annien has no idea of ​​keeping it secret at all. This is because the salt farm is too simple. Just look at it once and you will understand that even if you send troops to protect it, outsiders are not allowed to enter and exit. However, for many people, this is far from enough. Some people can still open a salt farm, but the newly opened salt farm will be kept confidential to a certain extent due to huge profits. Because of market capacity, according to his estimate, his salt farm will probably be able to maintain a huge profit this year. There will definitely be no such huge profits starting next year and will continue to decline. However, even if there is no huge profit now, in the next few years, at least one-fifth of the current price profit margin, which is also a steady flow of profit for a territory.

Last year and this year, I could earn 250,000 gold coins, and Ryanstein could earn 1 million gold coins. After deducting the cost, Ryanstein should earn as much as 800,000. Then he could earn 400,000, and 300,000 yuan from the elves, and he could earn 80,000 yuan from it.

If we calculate this, everyone will make similar profits, and it can be said that everyone will be happy.

Starting this year, just because the secret leakage of salt farms is inevitable, slave passages and docks have been reopened, allowing merchant ships to moor, and estimated that about 200 slaves can be purchased every month, which will increase the population in the territory and may exceed 10,000 by the end of this year.

In fact, building a castle did not cost Annien a lot of money, because whether it was wood or brick, it was made locally, and slaves did not have to pay wages, they only had to pay for food. So, until now, they spent only 10,000 gold coins, and it can be said that they had almost no use. Of course, after Annien completed the castle this year, they would free them from the free people. If they had similar work in the future, they would have to pay them wages - slaves, especially pirate slaves, could not be enslaved for a long time. Annien was quite clear about this.

When they returned to their study, they saw Alce and Essali reading. When they saw him coming in, they looked up and smiled slightly, and continued to study hard.

Now the study room is filled with various books, all of which are copied by Annien's memory in his intellectual brain and through the third-level magic of "page writing". Until now, thousands of volumes have been accumulated, but this is only one-twentieth of Annien's memory.

On one wall of the study room, there is a huge Yanhuang landscape painting. It can be filled with natural spirit by just using black ink of different depths.

There are three rattan chairs in the study, made of strong rattan strips. In the current weather, lying on it to read a book is a great pleasure.

In order to copy books, he now remembers a "book page writing technique" every day. He doesn't say anything at the moment, so he picks up a stack of parchment paper and uses the "book page writing technique" to copy it.

Sure enough, blank parchment papers were copied immediately. With his current level, a "page writing technique" could copy three books. Looking at the glory of magic, the two sisters were looking around. Although they were not seen on the first day, they still surprised and fascinated them - this is the power of magic!

It was not until an hour later that the spell was completed. Thirty pieces of parchment were written in words, and they could be written into books and recorded them. Als put down his book, sorted it out for him, and carefully bound the pages with needle and thread.

"Where have you learned now?" Annon asked, stretching out his hand and stroked Alse's hair and her snow-white shoulders.

"I have learned basic theory of magic."

"Oh, soon, although there are not many things to learn in basic magic theory, but more importantly, a deep understanding of these theories, and have you meditated on time every day?" Annien's hand slid on her chest.

"I will study the basic theory of magic again. As for meditation, I will meditate every morning and evening."

"Don't be too serious. At your current level, meditation for half an hour is enough, and twice a day is enough." Annien said with satisfaction.

"Brother, I'll hug you too!" The thirteen-year-old Eshali Loli seemed a little jealous of her sister, so she hurried over and shouted.

"Okay, brother hug her." Annien hugged her very simply. He lowered his head and asked, "At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, did you and your sister take the Mirada Knight's fighting exercise class?"

"We all went to school, and our younger brother went there too."

"Oh, Rusgen is only seven years old, so he's taking a fighting exercise class?"

"Yes, Dad said that my brother will be a knight in the future and should be exercised at the age of seven. Dad said that Knight Mirada's swordsmanship and teaching attitude are much better than his, and he can be our teacher."

"Oh, that's great, but my sister should be careful, don't work too hard, and the fighting exercise class every day cannot last more than two hours."

"Brother, it's not more than, the Knight Mirada pays great attention to our level." Alse, who had bound the booklet, walked to the bookshelf, put the booklet with the cover on the bookshelf in that column according to the classification, and then came back and smiled and said, "We are only allowed to exercise for an hour and a half a day."

"It's very good. Maybe next month, I can teach you some medicine." Annien was very satisfied with their progress.

A qualified magician is a pharmacist to some extent. This is because there are many spells that must be used with medicines and other casting materials. Therefore, a high-level magician usually has a very high level of attainment in potions and alchemy, and can distinguish the essence of many medicines and materials at a glance.

"We also need to learn some riding skills. Gebi said that nobility, whether it is a noble lady or a noble young master, it is not okay to not be able to ride a horse. So we also need to ride a horse after the morning and morning for training." Als complained, "Now we are full of courses."

"It doesn't matter. You can ride a horse a few times. As for magic knowledge, you have learned so much and fast, especially Alce, which surprised me. Maybe you can try to emit a frozen ray at the end of this year. If you can emit it, it means you have stepped on the door of magic and become a magic apprentice." Annien said happily: "In the future, I will build a magic tower to collect magic energy, and prepare many magic experimental tools in it. You can learn there in the future. I believe that it can achieve twice the result with half the effort. You don't need to go to the Magic Union to register for trials. According to the general laws of magic, as long as I can reach the level 11 mage level, I have the right to accept apprentices and give them the status of qualified magicians."

"Brother is really amazing, but it costs a lot of money to build a magic tower?"

"It costs a lot, but now I can only build the lowest level mage tower. This is not only because of my spell level, but also because what I have obtained is only the most basic information. The materials for building powerful magic towers are top secrets of the Magic Union. Although I have allowed to read them, I have not found any information for powerful magic towers." Annien said with regret: "But it is enough for us now. We can create magic items, study new spells, or conduct other research, and save our spell books there, without worrying about the harm of magic experiments to ordinary people."
