Not long after the battle ended, the surrounding fog began to slowly dissipate.
Such a strange situation made Ai Lan suspicious of the mist.
"This fog doesn't look like a celestial phenomenon, it looks a bit man-made."
But it didn't matter that the fog had dissipated. He just wanted to search the area carefully. If there was fog, it would waste a lot of time.
"Then let's wait for a while and wait until the fog clears before taking action."
After waiting patiently for a long time, the surrounding fog finally cleared.
At this time, Ai Lan suddenly discovered that they were in an extremely dilapidated small village.
On the mini map, two resource point marks suddenly popped up.
"There is actually a lumberyard nearby."
"Let's explore this place first, and then go to the logging camp."
Another marked point is nearby, you can see it after walking a few more steps.
Lizardman Lair [Marine Department Level 2 Building]: You can recruit level 2 lizardmen. The recruitment fee is 80 gold coins. The current number is 0.
This village is not big, after all, there are only a few hundred lizardmen in the Blackpool tribe.
It didn't take long for Ai Lan to take people around the place.
In addition to this lizard man's lair, he also found 200 units of wood and 3,000 gold coins in a warehouse in a corner.
Other than that, there is nothing to gain.
"This tribe is a bit poor."
"Legion Commander, this is a swamp, and the Blackpool tribe is already very rich."
For 3,000 gold coins, you can recruit dozens of lizardmen.
"Where do you usually get money from?"
It is normal to have wood, and there is a lumberyard nearby, but gold coins will not fall out of thin air.
"We usually go to the beach for a walk, and there are also many wild monsters in the swamp."
"And this month is the monster month, and the little monsters will also drop a lot of gold coins."
"I see."
The lumber camp is not very far from here, so there is a reason why the Blackpool tribe would be located here.
In fact, according to Old One Eye.
The three lizardman tribes occupy the most important resource points in the swamp.
Blackpool Tribe: Lizardman Lair, Lumber Camp.
Iron Hook Tribe: Lizardman breeding ground and mine.
Altyn Tribe: Lizardman Cave, Gold Mine, Poisonous Fly Nest.
Among them, the leader of the Iron Hook Tribe is the enemy of Old One-Eye, while the leader of the Altyn Tribe is a shaman whose strength should not be underestimated.
In addition to these important troop-producing buildings and resource points, there are many resources in other parts of the wetland swamp.
In addition, every other month, a mysterious force will visit Chiba Forest.
At that time, new resources will appear in the swamp.
These resource points and resources are usually competed by the three tribes.
It is said that the lizardman shaman Altin has always wanted to subdue the other two and dominate the entire swamp.
However, his strength cannot overwhelm the alliance of the other two tribes, so the situation in the swamp has always been a three-way confrontation.
"Old One-Eye, now that I'm here, the situation in the wetlands and swamps should also change."
"You don't have any objections, do you?"
"How could it be possible, legion commander, it would be great if you could unify the wetlands and swamps."
Old One-Eye waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he had absolutely no bad intentions.
In fact, he still felt a little regretful in his heart, "It would be nice if the commander of the legion was a lizard man."
"That's good."
"Let's go to the lumber camp."
The lumberyard is not the first outdoor building that Ai Lan has occupied. He has also encountered many resource points that can be occupied in the wild before.
But as soon as he entered the factory, he immediately discovered that his knowledge of such an important resource as wood was still too weak.
This lumberyard should actually be called: Fully Automatic Rune Machinery Intelligent Wood Production Factory.
Why is it called that.
First of all, it is fully automatic. There are no workers in the lumberyard. All machines are running automatically. Everything is in order and the efficiency is as high as possible.
Rune machinery naturally refers to factory equipment. These equipments are all engraved with very complicated runes, and Ai Lan can't understand any of them anyway.
Asked Aphra, she also had dark eyes.
Then, there is the source of the wood.
There is a forest on the right side of the lumberyard with a large number of trees planted in it.
According to Kaka's explanation, these trees are all ironwood.
Not long after Ai Lan entered the lumberyard, she saw with her own eyes an ironwood tree being chopped down by a robotic arm and then sent to the factory, where it was then sawed into neat sections of wood.
Next, here comes the key point.
How can ordinary wooden boards be turned into construction resources—timber.
Ai Lan followed these wooden boards and entered the rune factory.
Soon, he saw an extremely standard wooden board being thrown into a magic pool.
Not long after, the wooden board, which had absorbed a large amount of magic liquid, was picked up by a mechanical arm and placed into the mysterious machine on the side.
"What is this?"
This machine should be the core piece of equipment in the lumberyard.
"This kind of problem may only be known to the archmage of the spiritual weapon department." Aphra helplessly spread her hands towards him.
She is just a poor little mermaid, she really doesn’t understand anything like rune machinery.
"laugh..."
Not long after the new wooden board was inserted, the machine suddenly made a harsh roar, and then, a unit of wood slowly fell from the back of the machine.
Ai Lan quickly stepped forward and took the piece of wood in his hand.
"Get wood*1."
On this newly produced wood, you can see a very obvious flow of magic power. After a while, this energy fluctuation calmed down.
"One in, one out, full load efficiency."
"The lumberyard also has its own forest, and there is probably a way to create an unmanned smart factory?"
"Reconnaissance."
Lumberyard [Resource Building]: A logging factory left by ancient civilization, which produces 49 units of wood per week.
Capable, destructible, and destroyable.
"Only 49 units were produced in one week, so it feels a bit low." Ai Lan clicked on the occupation option to confirm.
"You captured a lumber camp."
"View properties."
Name: Lumberyard
Faction: Psychic Department
Level:Level 3
Durability: 1500/1500 (Holy Armor)
Function: Produce 49 units of wood per week
Bonus: None
Advanced: unknown
Stationed: None
Warning: The lumberyard is a fully automated smart factory with maximum efficiency. Please do not change the work process at will.
"Ancient civilization, sacred armor?"
He estimated that it had something to do with the background of the Ashan world. There was no information on this aspect on the official website, so he could only explore it slowly by himself in the future.
After occupying the lumber mill, another garrison option appeared in the attribute column.
Ai Lan can choose to have his subordinates stationed in this unmanned factory.
In addition to guarding the factory, these subordinates are also responsible for transporting supplies.
After the weekly wood is produced, it will not automatically go to Ai Lan's hands, but will be piled up in the warehouse of the lumberyard.
Ai Lan must come and get it in person, or have a transportation team transport the supplies to him.
"In the future, as our business becomes bigger, logistics will also be a big problem."
Now, with just such a small amount of assets, it wouldn’t take much time to make two trips here.
With this wood factory, the urgent shortage of wood was finally solved.
Ai Lan immediately opened the dimensional passage and asked Wright to use four times the amount of materials to build a nursery in the northernmost corner.
Nursery Garden [Architectural Drawings]
Construction requirements: 50 wood, 50 stone, and 3,000 gold coins.
He specifically used 4 times the materials because he wanted to know what the upper limit of excellence was.
Although it will be a bit wasteful, this kind of early exploration is essential.
Name: Seed Paradise
Faction:Nature
Level:Level 3
Durability:1200/1200
Function: Propagate seeds, cultivate seeds, and select seeds.
Bonus: Keep improving
Advanced: Wood*100, Stone 100, Gold Coin 10,000.
Excellence: This building uses more materials to build, and its construction capacity is +50%.
"There is only a 50% gain. In other words, is 3.5 times the material the limit of this skill?"
Of course, you can continue to upgrade as you strive for excellence, but this is just the limit of primary skills.
The 50% bonus is actually very abnormal.
Once this piece of land dedicated to breeding and cultivating seeds was built, Ai Lan had two special pieces of land in her small space.
"Kaka, please try, can you multiply some of your precious seeds here?"
"Let me try."
Kaka took out a few seeds of rare trees and planted them in the paradise of seeds.
"Grows fast."
Under his skill, a tall tree grew rapidly, and of course the fortress tree was indispensable.
"Boss, these trees must be planted here first, and then we will come and take a look at them later."
"By then, there should be many seeds on the tree."
And these seeds, after careful cultivation and selection by gardeners, have a chance of producing more perfect varieties.
At that time, they may obtain Fortress Treemen with higher attributes and even higher levels.
"Don't be in a hurry, this is a long-term accumulation of work."
The matter of seed selection is obviously not urgent.
Ai Lan visited the Land of Secrets again, and the fortress trees planted there were growing very well.
"Sure enough, the tree still needs to be planted for a while before it will grow well."
However, these fortress trees did not mutate, which made him a little disappointed.
After saying hello to Crowe, Ai Lan led the people and left the Fairy Garden.
"Next, let's finish Old One-Eye's mission first."
In other places, there are either no clues or the location cannot be found.
After the fog dissipated, Old One-Eye's Iron Hook tribe became the only target point that could be accurately located.
And there were so many bugs along the way that Old One-Eye was a little anxious waiting.
After sorting out the team, Ai Lan and his party embarked on the journey again.
During the journey, Ai Lan was bored, so she took out the necromancer's notes and started reading them slowly.
Originally, he thought it was just a mission item, so he didn't pay much attention to it when he saw it.
Unexpectedly, he saw two extremely important secrets in this notebook.
He knew only three ways to obtain elite templates.
Article 1: Reach level 10 and pass the elite trial.
Article 2: Born to be an elite.
Article 3: Variation.
But in fact, with such a huge world background in the New World, how can it be possible that there are only these three ways.
This notebook records the fourth way to become an elite.
Gain the favor of the camp’s will!
To put it simply, it is to obtain the gifts of natural will, purgatory will, ocean will, and other major camp wills.
Kurosawa was originally just an ordinary town resident. He was different from all the other lizardmen here.
He is not an aborigine, but wandered here from a lizardman kingdom.
There is not much record of Kurosawa's identity and background in the notebook, but here, the way he became an elite is introduced in great detail.
Spread negative energy and destroy the natural environment of wetlands and swamps.
It sounds simple, but it's not that easy.
Kurosawa mentioned in his notes that he was able to spread negative energy so quickly because Altin destroyed the natural balance here in advance.
The wetland swamp was originally called Chiba Wetland.
But one day, a lizard man named Altyn suddenly did something here.
The environment in the wetland began to become more and more strange, and the natural creatures began to become less and less adapted to life here.
The note didn't mention what Altin had done, but there was a vague map drawn on it, and there was a broken altar on the map.
"I didn't expect that I would see the altar here."
The location of the altar has been marked on the map.
So, should they go to the Iron Hook tribe first, or should they go to the altar first?
