After coming out of the Dwarf Village, Liu Yifei had to go to Yunfeng Village to "inspect".
This village was established a long time after Puni Village. It was built by Liu Yifei and several of them after Liu Yifei "went on a business trip" and Xue Lan "returned from school".
In the evening, the little assassin called Liu Yifei to inform Liu Yifei of the establishment of a small village. However, Liu Yifei was busy with the plot battle of Dickwell Kingdom at that time, and he was really beyond his reach, so he didn't pay too much attention to it. He just said that it was anyway
They are all managed by the little assassin, so he might as well let him do it all by himself. The location selection and so on can also test his own vision.[]
Now it was Liu Yifei's first time to come and take a look, and he found that the location chosen by the little assassin was really good this time!
Due to the previous example of Puni Village, everyone already knew what issues to pay attention to during defensive wars, and this time there was no more dwarf village to defend at the same time, so there was no need to consider the issue of troop division, so the little assassin and others were
They mobilized all the manpower, including Misha and Bol, and the defensive battle was relatively safe.
Yunfeng Village is located at a river intersection, a land rich in water resources, surrounded by water on two sides. Outside the front of the village is a small flat land, which can be used for future expansion and upgrading of the village, and there are three roads branching out.
One extends to the southeast of the Sighing Mountains, another to the woods due south, and the last one leads to the wasteland upstream of the river to the southwest.
The location of Yunfeng Village is quite far away from Puni Village, and there are no particularly good advantages in the surrounding area. To be honest, if it weren’t for the unexpected discovery of a small gold mine in a small cave in the southeast, the little assassin would have
I wouldn't have chosen my "stronghold" in such an inhospitable place in the first place.
As for how this gold mine was discovered...
Okay~ Actually, this is all thanks to Xiaocao, a fool!
This guy accidentally misunderstood a "not very valuable" lord mission when he led his mercenaries to complete the lord mission one day.
The rewards for lord tasks are all currently verified. Although there may be some additional rewards depending on the specific completion status, the situation is relatively stable. If lord players are short of money, they can take on some tasks that reward more gold coins. If they are short of resources, they can build things.
Or upgrade the territory, then you can also inquire specifically.
It's just that Xiaocao, a fool, was quarreling with Soklan in the private chat channel that day. He saw the reward column of the previous task and took the next task that rewarded "a random piece of treasure map"!
What's even more devastating is that this idiot didn't realize he had made a mistake until he received the reward after completing the tasks...
At that time, Liu Yifei had gone abroad on official business, and Xue Lan, the second eldest sister, had not yet come back. Although Yu Huangquan was already familiar with some of the other people, she had to manage her own village and support the upgrade of Plague City.
The construction chores and preparations for the ring competition are really as big as three or four people! There is no time to deal with the small mistakes of a few big guys.
As the only idler in the territory for the time being, the young assassin had no choice but to take over this treasure map and try to discover it, otherwise it would be a shame to suffer a loss.
Fortunately, this "waste treasure map" that the superior NPC lord cannot use shows a "treasure" buried deep in the Sighing Mountains.
It is estimated that it is for this reason that the NPC lord has not been able to dig that place so far. If nothing else, you don't know how long it would take to fly back and forth, let alone cross the jurisdiction of other lords.
For NPC lords, finding such treasures is really a loss-making business.
But it was barely acceptable for the young assassin. Starting from Puni Village, the round trip took about two days.
So after the individual professional competition ended, the little assassin was not able to be reborn and change jobs directly. He had to go find this damn treasure, which delayed his leveling time for another two days. I was so sorry that the little assassin almost didn't finish it.
The guy from the grass on the roadside pulled him over and knocked him down in the wild without inviting him to a duel...
Fortunately, the little assassin’s efforts finally paid off handsomely!
A gold mine is a huge treasure for any lord. Even a small gold mine is enough to make the lords of third- and fourth-level cities happy.
After the revision, the size of the resource point only affects the maximum number of workers that can be accommodated.
Small resource points can only accommodate thirty gathering workers, medium ones can accommodate sixty, and large resource points can accommodate one hundred workers.
If it is a gold mine, as long as one standard labor unit is invested, the daily mining output value can reach 500 gold coins! And if this labor force is a craftsman with excellent mining skills, then his work efficiency will be further improved!
On this basis, "poor ore" will affect the overall ore yield, reducing production by 15%, while "rich ore" will increase output by 15%.
This small gold mine found by the little assassin is normal. Its maximum daily output value can be as high as 15,000 gold coins. It is the only gold mine in the territory under Liu Yifei's name at the moment!
The biggest difference between lord players on the world map and lord players on the strategic map is reflected in the "way to make money" in the internal affairs system, and Liu Yifei, who is familiar with both modes, is even more familiar with this difference.
Enlightenment.
Let’s not talk about the strategic mode. Players work hard to improve their territory and upgrade the meeting hall to collect money on a daily basis. The money comes in handy~ Let’s not talk about whether it is enough or not. At least the feeling of entering with the left hand and exiting with the right is better than the breeze with two sleeves.
Very comfortable ~
This is not the case on the world map.
The First Council Hall only exists as a territorial functional building to facilitate lord players to query various information in detail. It does not have the function of producing gold; and the gold mine is only known by its name but not its actual form~
Golden light is definitely not as frequent on the world map as it is on the strategic map, but this may also be because the strategic map is scaled down, which makes it feel like there are more gold mines.
In short, as far as Liu Yifei knew, there were only two gold mines under the jurisdiction of a large city like the City of Misery, one medium-sized and one small. This shows how difficult it is to find gold mines on the world map.
There are the most wood and stone resource points, followed by other rare resource points and gold mining points.
Being able to discover an unowned gold mine at this time is a blessing for the entire Plague City!
After excitedly informing Huangquan about the matter, the two of them couldn't help but have a headache on how to develop this gold mine.
It was finally agreed that Liu Yifei had promised to open a village for the young assassins to manage anyway, so they might as well build a base here, so the two of them started to kill with a large number of subordinates to find a suitable location.
As the village took shape, Sister Xuelan happened to be back again. With the help of her, a super powerful witch, the whole thing would go smoothly.
Finally, there was the place called Yunfeng Village.
Of course, just like Puni Village, since there is already a teleportation array, it has been upgraded to the scale of a "small town", but the two "village chiefs" are lazy people who don't stick to trivial matters. So far, they don't even have the name of the territory.
I didn’t say anything about changing it...
This village means nothing more than two things to Liu Yifei. First, it is the gold mine in the southeast. Second, it greatly expands the area controlled by Plague City in this area and sets up a surveillance point on the southern front.
There must be a lot of secrets hidden in the huge Sighing Mountains, and the high priest of the dwarf village also mentioned that they suffered many hardships in the periphery before moving inland. Therefore, Liu Yifei needs to constantly open his horizons and learn from each other.
Sufficient surveillance points have been deployed in all directions to monitor any changes in a wider range.
Of course, there are also a lot of wild monsters around the village. After all, the mountains and forests are thick with all kinds of non-human monsters, which is also very suitable for players to level up in the later stages.
What is particularly interesting is that since Yunfeng Village is surrounded by two rivers, there are actually many aquatic monsters in the surrounding area! Especially in the upper reaches of the southwest river, there is actually a wild fishman village!
The intelligence of creatures like murlocs is relatively low among demi-human species. Unless the tribe is large enough and a murloc shaman or priest with higher intelligence is born, murlocs cannot master the common language.
As a result, murlocs are often treated as "wild monsters" by players or NPCs, and the result is nothing more than massacring explosive treasures with a miserable end. Upon closer inspection, it is actually just a fault caused by a language barrier!
In this day and age, it is true that mastering a foreign language will affect the fate of an individual or even a family...
Originally, the little assassin generally treated this murloc tribe in the same way, basically cleaning it at least once a day. The main reason is that after the murloc died, there was a greater chance of leaving behind relatively valuable gadgets such as "pearls", which are rare in a village.
Seventy or eighty murlocs can be harvested in one slaughter!
Liu Yifei had only heard about these things, but when he came here for the first time today, he was shocked when the teleportation formation came out!
Because in addition to seeing the little assassin standing in the open space waiting for him, he also saw fishmen running around the village!
"Holy shit~ What's going on? The fishmen are attacking the city?"
Liu Yifei looked at the fishmen around him with a strange expression and said to the little assassin.
Hearing what Liu Yifei said, the little assassin couldn't help laughing happily, and then told Liu Yifei in detail.
It turned out that when Liu Yifei came back from Dickwell Kingdom, in addition to a large number of undead and vampire mercenaries, there were also the remaining swamp people of the entire tribe of old lizardmen.
In particular, the old lizardman leader himself is a generation of "animal spirit envoy". It is understandable to say that others cannot understand animal language. If this old guy cannot understand various non-human languages, then he is really not doing his job properly.
And since the Lizardmen came to the Plague City with Liu Yifei, they have grown to admire Liu Yun, this mysterious and powerful lord!
The significance of the Holy City means that anyone with a little bit of wisdom means it. What does it mean to an entire racial camp? Liu Yifei is actually the master of a Holy City? No wonder he is so powerful...
Of course, there are countless powerful lords in the world, but it is really rare to see one who is so kind and friendly~
If you add the somewhat scary title of "Lord of the Ghost Tribe" to such a person... well~ the old lizard man has to admit that his tribe is still very lucky, and he can actually survive in the face of a catastrophic disaster.
Meet such a person.
I just admire Liu Yifei more and more. It is impossible for all these lizardmen to live in the Plague City. Apart from anything else, the Plague City is surrounded by gray-black desolate land. Although it is located in
It's remote, but it actually belongs to the ghost terrain. Not even a mound can be seen at a glance. For lizard people who love nature, especially the hot and humid swamp climate, the conditions here are a bit harsh.
Since the old lizard man arrived, he and his daughter have been looking for a place suitable for the tribe to live.
They already knew Liu Yifei's character in general, and he could basically be regarded as a "good person". As long as he explained his situation clearly, he would try his best to facilitate it. Liu Yifei not only gave the father and daughter the use of the teleportation array, but also
The two "village chiefs", the young assassin and Yu Huangquan, told them to take some time to accompany the lizard man and his daughter around to see if there was anywhere suitable for them to settle down.
This group of people in the swamp can actually give birth to a "beast tamer" professional, and there is also the old patriarch, a hidden professional of "animal spirit envoy", which is a treasure for Liu Yifei, so he naturally has to do his best to treat him well.
The lizard man father and daughter wandered around before arriving at Yunfeng Village. Naturally, the little assassin had to greet them as a landlord, and also gave them a detailed introduction to the surrounding terrain and let them choose to see if it was suitable.
foothold.
But what was beyond the little assassin's expectation was that he originally thought that the surrounding water system was developed and there might be places that the old lizard man would like. However, he did not expect that the old lizard man first became very interested in the murloc village that the little assassin accidentally mentioned.
He said that he would pull the little assassin and let him take him there.
The young assassin didn't know what the old lizard man was planning, but he still took the father and daughter over to have a look.
However, what the old lizard man did later shocked the little assassin so much that he almost had his chin hit his foot!
He didn't know that this old lizard man had a hidden occupation of "animal spirit user", and he didn't know that this old guy was proficient in animal language, so he suddenly saw this old lizard man running forward happily and spent this period of time listening to
When the accustomed "murloc language" started chatting with the shivering murlocs gathered together, the little assassin was dumbfounded, completely dumbfounded...
The "chatting" process lasted for about ten minutes, and then the young assassin saw the old lizard man walking back leisurely with a satisfied look on his face.
Seeing the expression of the old lizard man, the little assassin thought that he had reached an agreement on the merger with the other party and planned to move the whole clan over to keep the fishmen company. Little did he know that the old man was so awesome that he said that he was doing it for the little assassin.
The lord has made a comfortable deal!
Under the curious questioning of the young assassin, the old lizard man finally revealed the details.
It turns out that although creatures like fishmen can be found everywhere, it is not a casual thing for fishmen to establish villages.
Basically, their location selection will follow the following points.
First, there must be a good "clam source" nearby that can produce pearls.
In the world of fishmen, or even in the entire underwater world in a broad sense, coins are not widely used. Instead, they are replaced by a strange currency like "pearls".
On land, pearls are only used as materials for making certain jewelry or alchemy. In short, they are of little use, but they are expensive and are used as a rare material.
But underwater, pearls are circulated as hard currency with a certain value, and this is why many players in waterside territories can obtain pearls after killing various aquatic or amphibious monsters, just like those on land.
There is a reason why humanoid monsters can be used for money, and pearls can be used by all kinds of aquatic creatures.
Second, there should be no powerful natural enemies nearby.
Because the fighting ability of the murlocs themselves is actually weak, even the murloc mages or murloc priests who are relatively powerful in the eyes of the murlocs are genuine fish bellies and born with water in the eyes of fellow professionals of other races.
Elemental affinity determines them
It is impossible to cast other types of spells except water spells, and the low lethality of water spells is obvious to all. However, the innate wisdom of murlocs is low and it is difficult to master high-end and powerful spells. Therefore, murloc spellcasters are completely miserable~
I think the little kobold mage can throw a powerful fireball from time to time, but the murloc mage is really powerless except for constantly annoying people with water-based magic arrows or ice-based magic arrows.
Third, there must be more and larger water tribes in places that are not too far away.
In fact, the third point is born based on the second point.
It is precisely because of the weak fighting ability of the murlocs that once other powerful beings come to stay in the territory, their own safety will be difficult to guarantee. If the stronghold is destroyed many times (not that the murlocs are killed, but as a background
The murloc hut was completely destroyed), after a certain number of system refreshes, the murloc tribe will evacuate this place and seek settlement elsewhere, or return to the majority of the aquatic tribe.
(Actually, similar things are very common in the entire game world. In order to ensure the realism of the game world, the system has developed an internal "ecological" system. For certain races with certain intelligence, it doesn't matter if you kill people, but you cannot destroy their nests.
Or some important items such as statues, etc., once destroyed a certain number of times, the biological tribe will disappear and be defined as "evacuation" by the system. After a period of time, a batch of other similar creatures will come over.
Just like Liu Yifei cleared the underground black market before. You have no problem collecting money and searching for slaves, but you can't kill underground black traders. Although underground black traders will drop a lot of money and some important small treasures after they die, once you kill them, you can't kill them.
It will affect the refresh of this underground black market. The killing is very serious. Like Liu Yifei before, the underground black market will be blocked for a month! If you come here a few more times, the underground black market will be completely abandoned and the system will be replaced.
There is an underground black market in the local area.
In short, we strive to be authentic and give players a stronger sense of immersion. We will not explain it if we encounter similar situations in the future)
Although the little assassin has been practicing with these murlocs in the past half month and ravaged them a hundred times! Fortunately, he did not attack the murlocs' thatched hut.
In fact, it’s not the little assassin’s fault.
That thing is simply too crude and crude!
It's just four aquatic bamboos and a roof with some dried aquatic plants. You can see the inside and outside at a glance, and you won't even have the desire to stir around. Except for a few players who are really cheap and boring, I guess.
No one is willing to dismantle that thing (Xiaolong revealed: When playing the Warcraft campaign, I was a sweep controller who never let go of any monster hut, hahaha)...
The young assassin's mercy gave the fish people the "courage" to continue to stay, and the arrival of the old lizard man at this time gave the two sides a channel for smooth communication.
The topography here is rich in water systems, with numerous tributaries of various sizes. The water area covers a wide area, and the underwater products are pretty good, especially the gentle water flow here, which is suitable for the reproduction of pearl mussels. It actually has a good pearl production!
And the deal that the old lizard man negotiated for Liu Yifei was...
If you don't want to continue to be slaughtered in the future, then you have to "pay tribute every day" and spend money to ward off disasters!
The old lizard man is also a master with a black heart~
After all, he was a well-known local snake when he was around the City of Glory. He not only dared to challenge the regular army of the City of Glory based on the terrain of his home field, but also dared to do business with the surrounding underground businessmen, bandits and bandits. His heart was terrible.
He is definitely not an honest person, so the price is not low.
At least fifty standard pearls must be paid as tribute every day, and four murloc warriors and four giant-toothed crocodile cubs must be paid every week.
In return, the powerful cold-blooded killer (referring to the little assassin) and the territory he established around him will give the fishmen enough protection, and they will be given an additional ten steel ingots as compensation every week...
"Steel ingot? What do you want that thing for?"
Hearing what the little assassin said, Liu Yifei couldn't help but wonder.
"Yes, that's what I asked at the time, but when the old lizard man said it, I gained some knowledge."
It turns out that in the underwater world, there is no shortage of all kinds of mineral materials, but there is only a lack of powerful armor equipment.
There are also iron ores in the underwater world, but the problem is that water, even seawater, is too corrosive to iron. Often, the iron ore will be corroded while mining, and if it is forged into iron ingots, it will be difficult to maintain it for a long time.
, even after the equipment is made, its quality will gradually decline.
There is also a process called "cold iron" underwater, which is used to process steel ingots, but this process requires at least an expert blacksmith to master it. It is not as efficient as an ordinary intermediate blacksmith on land who can forge steel ingots.
It's thousands of miles away! What's more, underwater heat sources are scarce and submarine volcanoes are not easy to find. Therefore, the production of cold iron steel is scarce, making it difficult to deploy an army of underwater creatures on a large scale.
Under water, pearls are a general equivalent, and their value is slightly lower than gold, but steel ingots are a high-value equivalent, and even gold is not as valuable as these things!
To put it bluntly, gold is just a rare metal. There are very few places where it can really be put to practical use. Steel ingots are different! You can take them back and process them into suitable equipment or weapons, then expand your own strength, and then continue to seize more territory.
....
Anyway, this is the rule of this virtual world! Strength is king, and strong enemies grab food~
Hearing what the little assassin said, Liu Yifei couldn't sit still!
Damn~ Liu Yifei really couldn't sit still now.
Now his family's territory is really getting bigger and bigger, and Liu Yifei often travels for business from time to time. It's been a long time since he asked about the details. Today, when I asked casually, he suddenly found that there were many details that he had not noticed before!
Especially the fishman village.
Although the old lizard man has thought of a good "cooperation" method for himself, in Liu Yifei's opinion, this method is still a bit too superficial. Liu Yifei still wants more!
Since in the underwater world, steel ingots are more valuable than gold, then they must exchange them decisively!
Although it was useless for Liu Yifei to ask for gold, he could sell it for money! Wouldn't it be enough to buy more useful gadgets later?
What's the benefit of exchanging steel ingots for some Murloc Warriors and Sawtooth Crocodiles every week?
Of course, Liu Yifei is not saying that these things are useless, but they are obviously not as powerful as real money!
Liu Yifei, who already had an idea in his mind, found out where the Lizardmen clan's stronghold was now and immediately rushed there without stopping.
In the previous article, it was mentioned that Liu Yifei and others once found an area inhabited by a small number of lizard people in the area that was not too deep when they first entered the Sighing Mountains. Now the old lizard people leader is leading his people here.
Everything was very busy.
Strictly speaking, the terrain here is still far different from the so-called "swamp terrain", but in the eyes of the old lizard man, it is just fine. After all, it is a place where the same race can live. Indeed, there are dozens of surrounding areas.
Satonouchi decided to go to the most suitable place.
Therefore, in recent times, he has been leading his tribe to open up wasteland and build a stronghold here.
The houses that the swamp people live in are still too crude and dilapidated compared to humans, but compared with the "thatched pavilions" of the fish people, they are already much more advanced, and at least they can protect them from wind and rain.
But the old lizard man also has a headache, that is, there is a tribe of centaurs living around him. These centaurs are not the kind-hearted centaurs among the elves. Due to the cruel living environment, the centaurs here are more like a group of twisted people.
The robber!
If you don't try your best, you are cruel by nature. In addition to robbing homes and homes, you often kill people and set fires (there are centaur mages who can throw fireballs).
The old lizard man met these guys on the first day he brought his tribe here!
At that time, he was busy "recruiting" the local low-minded and barbaric lizard people, and the tribesmen at the back stood aside vigilantly in battle formations.
This move was originally to prevent the old lizardmen from being able to infiltrate the enemy and start a direct war with them, but it actually saved the people of the swamp.
Because the old lizard man got in touch with the savage lizard men on the opposite side, these centaur bandits were killed out of the woods.
The old lizard man's woman did not disappoint him. When the old lizard man was too busy "persuading and incorporating" his barbaric kin to be distracted, she took on the important task of leading the resistance on her own.
Fortunately, the people who migrated from the human race were all the strongest members of the lizard tribe, and Liu Yifei also gave them a batch of equipment before departure. Although it was not very sophisticated, it was still much better than the shabby ones they had before, which also made the lizards
People's strength has been greatly improved.
With stronger firepower and more reasonable and effective command, the lizardmen repelled the invaders in less than ten minutes, and the old lizardman finally succeeded in convincing these dozens of barbaric lizardmen to join his tribe.
Once the populations of the two sides merged, the old lizardman leader seemed somewhat confident!
After rounds of torture in the Dickwell Kingdom, only eight out of ten tribesmen who could survive all the way have been eliminated. The old tribe leader couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the withering population. However, it seems that it has grown a lot now, which also provides a good foundation for the future population.
Laying the foundation for further increases...
Just having a basic population is not enough. You must establish a suitable stronghold before the population will gradually increase (have cars, houses, wives and children?). As long as the stronghold can accommodate it, the population itself will naturally increase, and new growth will occur.
The population will also be larger.
So the old patriarch has been busy developing a stronghold in the past few days.
By the time Liu Yifei used a vampire servant to fly him over, it was already approaching noon.
Liu Yifei was busy almost non-stop throughout the morning, turning around several areas in turn, and talking to several important persons in charge or "collaborators" one by one to ensure that he could grasp the current development trend of the territory in detail.
But Liu Yifei didn't feel tired at all, or even hungry at all!
He just couldn't help but feel excited!
On the whole, the development of Plague City is now on track. As long as he spends a little more time to adjust some details, Liu Yifei can safely leave it to the people around him to take care of it. Besides, he
In addition to providing guidance in the general direction, most of the time you still have to focus on improving your own strength.
The old lizard man was surprised when he saw Liu Yun, the great city lord, actually rushing over in person. After careful questioning, he learned Liu Yifei's purpose.
Today's old lizardmen pay more attention to Liu Yifei, their "immediate boss" than ever before.
While wandering around a while ago, the old lizard man not only wanted to see what was going on in Liu Yifei's territory, but also wanted to go through some detailed questions to see if his trust was correct. He didn't want to entrust his clan's life to it.
To a violent and cruel person.
Naturally, the old lizard man who had been to Puni Village also knew something about the dwarf village. After learning about the deeds of this dwarf village, he finally felt free to follow Liu Yifei! Because obviously, their man
The lord does not have a very strict self-positioning, at least when it comes to dealing with outsiders, he is not as "simple and direct" as most ghost lords...
