Chapter 535 The materials for building the port seem to frighten people
Hill’s wariness of Baal’s treasure has left many people confused.
But smart people know that no matter how rich they are, if there is no danger, they will never give up the fat they have at hand.
This requires everyone to choose between reason and greed.
Hill discovered a few big businessmen who directly cleared their goods to Hill's grocery store, took their people to stay in hotels, and even sent people to pick up their family members in Waterdeep City.
In Toril, the status of merchants is indeed very high, but they can only live in the same place with their kind. If you want to live in the same place with the nobles and those high-level professionals, it is not something you can do if you have money.
.
Businessmen who usually make the most of everything are often at their wits end when disaster strikes.
Especially for disasters related to wealth, their place is the hardest hit area.
However, most businessmen still cannot make such a decisive decision. Once they abandon this trade route, it will be too difficult to find it again.
Starting a business from scratch is never as easy as it sounds.
Being groveling, surviving or even being despicable is the path that most businessmen must take, and many people absolutely don't want to go down such a path again.
Hill stood on the terrace, looking at these various aspects of life, and just told the few dragon people who came to Hill to wait for the Silver Moon Dragon Queen that they had better go back and close the border. If there is any shopping need during this period, it is best to just
Come to Hill or trade with other continents.
These dragon people who have followed the Golden Dragon and the Silver Dragon for many years are not stupid. They can also control the pursuit of wealth in their own blood, and they soon understood why Hill got the Dragon Queen's family into the maze.
The dragons soon decided to go back and close the borders of the Northland, rejecting all outside guests.
After a few chaotic days, the town of Aglaia slowly got back on track. The residents who still wanted to stay followed Hill's will and did not dare to touch the gold and silver jewelry at all, even if they watched passers-by.
Picked up a huge gem from the coast.
The same goes for Tyr's believers, although they are a little reluctant to leave, but they are absolutely unwilling to leave the Silver Shield Knights, and most of them are still sensible, and they definitely don't want to let Tyr in front of another god because of their greed.
Shameful.
But some of the residents who had just settled down still couldn't bear their desire for gold, silver and jewelry.
As long as they take these treasures to Waterdeep City, they can buy a large enough property in those alleys that are safe enough.
They still believe more in Waterdeep, which is known as the 'City of Glory' that will never fall, but in the past they could only live in the slums, which is not safe now.
Completely ignoring the businessmen who stayed in the Hill Hotel, you know how the accommodations of these businessmen were much better than the places they could buy.
However, people can always find excuses for their greed.
Hill can understand that he will not retain anyone.
In the end, they just added these people to the blacklist that was not allowed to move in again, and spread the word that their town would no longer accept settlement requests from outsiders.
Residential areas in the town of Aglaia will no longer spread.
Lin En is already here, so Hill doesn't need to cause any more trouble to himself.
After everything quieted down, Hill appeared in front of people again.
He built a port in the northwest corner of the town, on the beach behind the Harper's Station, that could accommodate twenty giant ships.
Of course, he did not take action during the basic construction, but invited the god of earth element, Gulamba, who was still pretending to be the lord of earth element.
Hill had long discovered that in the maze array, giant dragons were running on top, and these huge earth elements were swaying below.
Hill's labyrinth is not only above ground, but also 30 meters deep underground. It was originally built to prevent those who were imprisoned from digging tunnels, but unexpectedly it became a playground for earth elements.
Gulanba, who knew that he had been exposed for a long time, worked very hard and led his men to build the port into a wide and strong port.
The best ports in the North cannot be this strong. They are almost natural ports that grow directly on the earth's veins.
Then they ran back to the maze and continued playing.
The rest is easy, and this little modification doesn't require any effort from Hilfi.
He first added a special metal coating on the rough stone pier that is anti-skid, anti-moth, and most importantly anti-freeze. If the wind and snow in the North are not protected, any solid stone will be destroyed.
It is impossible for Hill to convert the entire port into obsidian, but he still has this advantage.
Finally, Hill used some modified endless vines as a buffer zone, which can allow giant wheels of any level to lean on without any damage.
The endless vine is a bright green leafless plant consisting of numerous tangled thin stems and blue flowers with a radius of 01.3 cm. These flowers are responsible for the vine's nutritional intake, they absorb moisture and atmosphere from the air, and utilize
Under the right conditions, the plant will grow at a rate of 0.28 cubic meters per minute, then cover all surfaces in a 3-meter-deep tangle of plant matter.
These vines can only grow above the sea surface in the port. Once they enter the water, they will stop growing and will never affect the creatures on the seabed.
It's just that they couldn't survive in the atmosphere originally, but Hill used the Mystery Lock to bypass this restriction.
However, the well-informed Harpers seemed to be frightened by these endless vines, and they went crazy as soon as they discovered that they were growing rapidly.
These vines, which grow by absorbing magic power and sunlight, can indeed kill a magic ship easily, but Hill doesn't think there's anything scary about them.
They just grow on their own and have no intention of actively harming people. They are just port buffer sponge belts that require no maintenance at all.
The endless vine is immune to toxins and not affected by negative energy, but is sensitive to fire, acid and electrodes, and low temperatures may slow down its growth.
However, the effect of any spell that blocks or destroys this plant is limited to the damaged area, and the parts not affected by the island will continue to grow normally.
The most important thing is that even if they are set on fire, they will not die completely and will continue to grow with some water.
What a great cushioning material!
Moreover, they are cute little animals that will never harm living people, and their leaves and flowers are also used as food.
It's just that most people can't control their growth rate. There's nothing to worry about. Hill is a natural mage~
He can guarantee that these vines will never invade any magic ship.
The Harpers are a little too worried. Don't they also have elves? Don't they still understand the ability of natural warlocks or mages to control plants?
And for these vines, living in Hill's territory is much more comfortable than on those broken boats. They have to worry about who wants to steal them away!
Hill's doubts were met with merciless ridicule by Lynn.
If ordinary natural mages could really achieve Hill's level, they would have become the most powerful beings in the world of Toril.
If these endless vines were really so easy to control, there wouldn't be so many fallen magic ships.
The leader of the Harper branch visited Hill almost the next day to make sure that these vines would not appear in other places.
The only way for the magic ship to get rid of these vines is to land on an atmospheric planet and let them wither in the large amounts of air.
If something like Hill spreads, the captains of the magic ship will have to go to Aglaia to commit suicide in front of Hill.
Hill didn't expect that his sudden idea would scare so many people.
I can only guarantee repeatedly: The reason why these endless vines can survive in the air is because of Hill's Water Mystery Lock. If they leave the range of the Mystery Lock, they will wither automatically.
Even though it had been two months, Hill still had lingering fears when he thought about it now: If it hadn't been for the plague that broke out in Neverwinter and Waterdeep, I don't know how many people would have come to trouble him because of these endless vines.
Autumn has arrived in the North, and when the fallen leaves are in full bloom, a family of three squatting in the maze finally found the exit.
In fact, they had already discovered several ways to leave the maze, but the adamantine fascinated the eyes of the three dragons. They turned a blind eye to the walls that could be opened, and would choose to take a detour the next time they passed by.
Moreover, there are some other golden dragons, silver dragons and bronze dragons in the maze.
Hill felt that Bahamut probably spent a lot of effort to control the urge to rush over and beat him.
The giant dragons he sent here to retrieve the dragon eggs refused to leave once they arrived.
Fortunately, these dragon eggs are easiest to hatch at 5 months.
When the Nine-faced Dragon God Io created these dragon eggs, he was a little too arbitrary. It only depended on the luck of these dragon eggs. Some unlucky people had to stay in their own eggs for several years.
Anyway, except for the first month, when he sent these metal dragons that entered the maze without looking back, the ones who came later were the dragonborn created by Bahamut.
Although these tall and handsome warriors behaved politely, they still revealed some of Bahamut's complaints.
These were all taken from the frontier position against the five-color dragon queen. Among these winged dragonborn, only the particularly powerful ones can fly. The low-level ones can only glide and cannot transport dragon eggs.
However, there was still a paladin dragonborn who specifically inquired about the method of making the labyrinth array. Bahamut hoped to trap these little dragons in his own kingdom of the north wind in the same way before they grew up.
This is really effective against dragons, big and small.
Hill gave away the magic circle very simply. These were never things that needed to be kept secret.
The power of his labyrinth array lies in its component: the big tree.
And even if Bahamut learns it, the materials he uses to build the labyrinth will not be trees, but things that dragons are good at.
The extreme winter was approaching, and after Hill stopped putting treasures in the maze, the metal dragons all left happily.
Although there will no longer be thunder in the North, thunder and rain will continue to occur in other places.
They still have places to go before the year is over.
