This crystal ball seems to have some important meaning.
Ai Lan was originally thinking about whether to take Fastan around the territory.
But seeing her worried look, he did not open his mouth to extend the invitation.
"Ai Lan, I won't introduce you to these people. You will have plenty of time to get to know them in the future."
"But there are some things I still want to remind you of."
"According to our intelligence, the six new continents are most likely six broken kingdoms of God."
Spiritual Enlightenment School sent a large number of manpower into the New World to investigate the situation.
There is a magical wall between the New World and the Old World, and this wall is completely transparent.
Its existence separates the two areas into two worlds.
It has been so long since the New World appeared, and the major forces have already conducted very in-depth research on the opposite wall.
Of course, the price they paid for this was not small.
When Fastan said this, Ai Lan heard from her tone that the Spiritual Enlightenment School had paid a heavy price to obtain this information.
Broken Kingdom of God, this level of information is not accessible to players now.
This sentence alone contains immense value.
Fastan would tell Ai Lan this information so easily, of course he had his own considerations.
In addition to sending people here, she also had another purpose when she came this time.
How could the Spiritual Enlightenment School pretend not to see the potential represented by mobile cities?
When Fastan came here this time, he had another identity, that is, he was the envoy sent by the Spiritual Enlightenment School to investigate him.
If he passes the inspection, the Lingyu School will provide him with certain support.
This support includes intelligence, resources, various trading channels, various magic powers, magic treasures, knowledge consultation, etc.
But this does not include help in combat.
In other words, the Lingyu School will not send troops to rescue him just because he encounters any danger.
This is related to the factional positioning of the Lingyu School itself.
Ai Lan does not have a deep understanding of the Spiritual Enlightenment School, so she is not particularly clear about the significance of Fastan's visit this time.
For him personally, the greatest significance of this school now is his personal friendship with Fastan.
"There are many dangers in the New World. Once you pass there, you are likely to encounter dangers that you cannot resist."
Of course, with danger comes plenty of opportunity.
The New World is now an uncultivated fertile soil, and everyone wants to take a bite.
If it weren't for the barrier of that wall, all the major forces in the Old Continent would have already sent out large armies to surround it.
Even so, there are now many forces from the Old Continent who have sent a large number of low-level personnel to explore the New Continent.
However, the native monsters in the New World are not vegetarians either.
In a broken kingdom of God, it is not surprising that any kind of monster appears.
According to the information detected by the Spiritual Enlightenment School, the most terrifying monster known in the New World is the soul of the dead that has revived from ancient times.
This is a terrifying monster on the heroic level, even on the legendary heroic level.
They slept under the sea for who knows how many years. When they woke up, they were filled with resentment and terror.
The existence of these monsters is a nightmare for all living things and the undead.
The souls of the dead resurrected from ancient times are the biggest danger Ai Lan needs to face after traveling to the New World.
In fact, the situation in the New World at this time is that a large group of low-level lords and adventurers unite to fight against the monsters in the New World.
In other words, now is still the most dangerous period for land reclamation, and it is far from the time to start staking out land.
After the land reclamation period has passed, it is the time when the major camps and forces begin to compete with each other.
"Ai Lan, you must not be anxious at this time."
"Within one year, the situation in the New World will not change much."
Fastan told him directly that even a powerful force like the Spiritual Enlightenment School only took out three city hearts and asked people to take them to the New World.
And if this investment does not achieve sufficient returns, then the Lingyu School is likely to give up the exploration of the New World.
This is true for the established forces. Needless to say, the small and medium-sized forces can only send out a large number of people to try their luck.
As for players, players are almost synonymous with cannon fodder in the New World.
In addition, Fastan also told Ai Lan that due to the special characteristics of the New World, the rules of death there are different from those in the Old World.
The female mage reminded him that before going to the New World, it would be best to get a drawing of the Hall of Valor.
"Coming in a few months late won't affect your development. It's best to make more preparations before starting."
Ai Lan was very grateful for Fastan's reminder.
As for the drawings of the Hall of Heroes, it was a fifth-level high-end building, and he didn't know where to get it.
"Ma'am, do you have any channels to buy the drawings? The price is not a problem."
"The Hall of Valor is a bit special." Fastan shook her head. She really couldn't get this drawing.
This kind of blueprint is one that all major forces are in urgent need of.
If you don’t have enough for yourself, how can it flow out?
If you want to research a level 5 or above building from scratch, the time and resources required are exaggerated.
Therefore, advanced drawings have always been very precious.
High-end core buildings like the Hall of Valor are particularly precious.
"I've said everything that needs to be said. You need to make your own decision on what to do."
Before leaving, Fastan took out a special treasure and handed it to Ai Lan.
Lucky four-leaf clover +3 [Level 1 treasure]: A mysterious plant that symbolizes luck. Put it in the glove compartment, luck will +1.
Strengthened attribute 1: Doom -1.
Enhanced attribute 2: When a random event is triggered, the probability of a lucky hit increases.
Forced attribute 3: Luck +1.
This treasure is Fastan's personal support to Ai Lan.
The support of the Spiritual Enlightenment School will not be finalized until Fastan returns and several internal meetings are held within the school.
As for the many people she brought over, they were naturally traded at normal prices.
This transaction is actually part of the inspection.
The direction of investigation is naturally Ai Lan's financial resources.
Ai Lan was also very generous and asked Fastan to quote directly.
As soon as the price came out, he didn't even make a counter-offer, and the deal was done on the spot.
In the end, both parties expressed satisfaction with the transaction.
After Fasten encouraged him a few more words, he disbanded his own mirror image and quietly dissipated in place.
"Well everyone, let's sign a contract."
The deal between Ai Lan and Fastan was just to exchange the contract in her hand.
Next, he would confirm with everyone present one by one.
"First up is Kim Bang."
As soon as he heard his name, the dwarf who had signed the contract of sale immediately stood up.
"Mr. Jin Bang, is there no problem with the 15-year employment contract?"
"If there is no problem, from now on, you will be a member of the mangrove collar."
Jin Pang curled his lips, what's the use of him having an opinion, he's already signed the deed of betrayal, so now it's his turn to speak.
"I need an alchemy workshop, I don't have any other requirements."
"sure no problem."
Ai Lan showed the Alchemy Workshop [Belt] to Jin Pang. After looking at it, Jin Pang nodded with satisfaction.
This workshop, which has been shrunk to the size of a model, can be put down at any time without even the need for construction.
The Mangrove Territory has always been short of alchemists.
After confirming some details with Jin Bang, Ai Lan felt that there was no big problem, so she signed her name on the contract.
"Ding, you hired the dwarf alchemist Jin Bang."
Since it is an employment contract, Jin Bang’s attribute Ai Lan cannot yet see it.
However, a level 5 alchemist will definitely not have much problem with his professional level.
"Gray Crow, take Jin Bang for a walk around the territory."
After finishing Jin Bang, the next step is the twenty mage apprentices.
This batch of apprentices is not an employment contract, but a selling contract similar to that of slaves.
In other words, he was sold to Ai Lan.
They are now homeless, and they themselves are willing to seek refuge with others.
As long as the conditions are not too bad, Ai Lan doesn't have to worry about their loyalty.
Given the environment of the Mangrove Territory, leaving these forest elf apprentices behind is not a big problem.
"For your part, please familiarize yourself with the environment of the mangrove collar first."
"The accommodation I have arranged for you is in the Mage Tower, which is also convenient for you to learn spells."
Regarding the contract, Ai Lan signed the transfer contract of the Lingyu School, and there was no need to ask for their opinions.
"Afra, please take them and the Oracle to stay in the Mage Tower first."
"OK."
These forest spirits still need to be slowly trained before they can be effective.
It was the last scholar who Ai Lan paid special attention to.
"I haven't asked you your name yet?"
"Borg, just call me Scholar Borg."
This young scholar comes from the lantern clan.
Djinns are a very famous magical race, and basically everyone in the race can cast spells.
The body structure of this creature is very interesting, with blue skin, the upper body is a human, and the lower body is a tail of smoke floating in the air.
"Mr. Berg, you should have heard the conversation just now. I may still need to make some preparations before entering the New World."
This scholar came to the Mangrove Territory to go to the New World, and there were some things they had to say clearly.
"Of course, Sir Ai Lan, I don't recommend you to enter the New World too early."
"In fact, I think you'd better increase your luck attribute to 5 points before entering the new continent."
Borg's suggestion immediately made Ai Lan's eyes light up.
"Oh, is there any explanation in this?"
"certainly."
As a scholar, you may not be good at fighting, but your knowledge must be extensive.
In fact, most lords would invite one or more scholars to serve as their staff.
"Your Excellency, have you ever seen a random portal?"
"not at all."
"Then you must not know much about the principle of random portals."
"Yes."
Borg first learned about Ai Lan's situation, and then began to explain the principles of the portal to him.
Teleportation gates (gates of time and space) and dimensional gates are two completely different types of teleportation.
Based on the underlying rules of the Ashan world, after a legion enters the portal, the laws of space will wrap up all creatures within the range.
Immediately afterwards, this legion will follow the legion leader and be teleported to the opposite node.
There is a very important rule here. Wherever the legion leader appears, the legion will appear.
If space fluctuations occur during the teleportation and a soldier is teleported to another place, he will be unlucky.
But if the commander of the legion is teleported to another place, the entire legion will be thrown there together.
This rule also applies to lords.
This is the transmission rule of the portal.
This is not the case with the Dimensional Gate. The Dimensional Gate takes a short and fast route.
Unless someone uses a dimensional anchor to anchor it, the probability of a teleportation accident at the dimensional gate is very low.
However, the energy consumption to maintain the dimensional gate is dozens of times that of the teleportation gate.
In other words, it is best to use dimensional gates for personal teleportation.
But for large-scale transmission, portals must be used.
Due to the characteristics of the rules, the safety of the leader during teleportation is particularly important.
At this time, the luck attribute becomes critical.
After listening to the scholar's explanation, Ai Lan suddenly felt a sudden enlightenment.
"I understand. If it's 5 o'clock, it won't be a big problem."
With the lucky four-leaf clover, Ren's lucky rabbit's foot, Swan Lake and the blessing of lucky spells, you have exactly 5 points of luck.
After this conversation, Ai Lan was very satisfied with this scholar.
Since he has not yet entered the New World, Borg is not even in employment status.
They are now in the stage of mutual inspection between the two parties.
Ai Lan was not worried about this at all. Entering the mangrove territory, he could still escape.
"Then Mr. Berg, let me arrange a place for you first."
There is also a vacant Mushroom Villa in the territory, which is suitable for Borg to live in.
"Your Excellency, I am not in a hurry to rest."
"Can you take me around the territory first?"
"Of course." Ai Lan originally wanted to quickly set up the magic net.
Since the scholar wants to work immediately, this is perfect.
Without the feature of moving territory, the mangrove territory is actually just an ordinary territory.
As a second-level town, Hongshuling is somewhat backward in terms of population and urban development.
After taking Borg around the territory and seeing that he was quite satisfied, Ai Lan took him directly to the Lord's Mansion and began to discuss the construction of the magic network.
In terms of technology, Huangyi Town's research has helped them solve the problem.
Ai Lan has also positioned all nodes with Yalkiman.
Now you only need to arrange a magic circle and connect the nodes, and the magic network can be completely formed.
"As for the miniature magic net, please give me three days to prepare it."
Borg is a very rigorous lamp spirit scholar, and this is the first task given to him by the lord after entering the mangrove territory.
He decided to do three days of investigation and research before taking action.
Ai Lan still has to stay in the wetland swamp for a while, so she naturally has no objection to this.
"If you need calculations, you can ask Yalkiman for help."
"Archiman?"
"Yes, it is the city spirit of the Mangrove Territory."
"I see."
Borg originally thought it was the Tower Spirit, but he didn't expect that the Mangrove Territory already had its own city spirit. This was an unexpected surprise.
"Your Excellency Ai Lan, I have seen your territory and it is good in every aspect."
"It's just that the urban population is too small, which is not conducive to the city's subsequent development."
This is indeed one of the biggest shortcomings of the Mangrove Territory at present, but there is no way. The city has only been built for half a month, where will Ai Lan find the population.
"As for the population, I have always been troubled."
"Mr. Berg, do you have any good ideas to solve this problem?"
Since Borg took the initiative to bring up this topic, he naturally had a solution in mind.
He shook his blue tail and gave Ai Lan an interesting suggestion.
"Perhaps we can contact the slave caravan."
"If your requirements for urban residents are not too high, slaves will be the best source of population for the Mangrove Territory."
