After several rounds of "sincerity", the cooperation intention with the Lizardman tribe was finally finalized. It would be a long night and many dreams, and there happened to be someone on hand, so Liu Yifei simply did the work himself and "invited" the old witch doctor on the spot to go with him to find the first one.
A suitable piece of wasteland...
The old witch doctor was also very depressed. He didn't expect that the evil star in front of him was so... without dignity. Even though he had promised the other party that he was willing to cooperate, the other party was still so impatient...
Speaking of legends, shouldn’t the powerful people of mankind be those who pay great attention to the so-called “status” and “etiquette”? Why did this young man he met act so unconventionally?!
The old witch doctor was in a frenzy, but he still had to take a few "personal followers" with him to pick a place with Liu Yifei——
Thanks to the "fishing and hunting" habits of the lizard people themselves, as well as the fact that the old witch doctor and his tribe have recently been actively looking for [monitor lizards] that may exist in the surrounding area, the old witch doctor and the others have a very clear understanding of the surrounding environment.
Previously, he had refused the other party in a coping style, but in fact, he had never considered cooperating with humans at all. However, now that the knife was stuck in his throat, the old witch doctor and his tribe could only honestly follow Liu Yifei's subsequent suggestions.
Various details are required to select the right place.
In fact, moving around Onuma Lake, any place with firm ground is suitable for growing food. After all, the soil fertility here is stronger than that of the plains in the green field area (after all, there are more levels of ecological chains and rich species diversity).
), with abundant water conservancy, and much better lighting than places with too dense trees like the Tularion Great Forest...
The more serious shortcoming should be that the terrain environment is relatively complex and there is no large enough open flat land, which is not conducive for ordinary farmers to carry out regular large-scale reclamation...
In addition, precisely because of the diversity of local organisms, there are more large and small organisms that may harm food crops. The longer the planting cycle, the greater the consumption of cultivated land care and food damage. It can be said that the larger the cultivated area,
The longer it takes to farm, the lower the final return.
However, all these shortcomings are well covered up in the face of the upcoming "emergency food planting rush under magic intervention"!
The land is leveled and plowed using the natural magic of the Life Messenger. The magic vines that grow naturally from the ground are more efficient and meticulous than any human farmer's manual cultivation of farmland. In addition, under the spell, the food
The growth cycle of crops is greatly compressed, and subsequent unexpected consumption is greatly reduced.
At the same time, in order to take care of the instinctive desire of the life messengers to "protect the natural environment" and "pursue the balance of nature" as much as possible, Liu Yifei did not intend to just fish in the lake, but asked the lizard people to help them fish from the surrounding quagmire and creek.
A large amount of river bottom silt is dug out and used as "fertile land" - the "wetland"-like environment around Onuma Lake naturally determines the fertility of the underwater silt, which is far more fertile than those areas that are not covered by water.
, when the elves used vine magic to plow the ground, they also mixed the fertile silt into the soil by hand, which could even save a lot of time and manpower in using "farm manure"...
Everyone worked together and completed a "test field" model area covering an area of more than 100 square meters in a matter of seconds. After it was completed, even the old witch doctor who had repeatedly rejected Liu Yifei's proposal suddenly became right.
This matter is taken very seriously!
It is undeniable that it has rejected Liu Yifei's proposal several times before, but it does not want outsiders to visit this place frequently, thereby increasing the risk of exposing the secrets of their clan.
But on the other hand, essentially, the old witch doctor really didn't believe that the "good things" that the young man in front of him said would really happen to him.
The old witch doctor who was once "tongueless" also served as the great witch doctor of a powerful tribe. How could he not understand the intrigues between those powerful people?
First, they set a trap for the other party with sweet words, and then when they really want to fulfill the agreement, they will shirk and quibble in every possible way, or even get angry and directly take action... In history, the swamp people of Tatalia were all killed by Crurod's
Barbarians have enslaved people, but after the founding of Erathia, are there fewer armed slave-catching teams from human society?
The old witch doctor is even more afraid that today's "agreement" with humans will become the cause of the other party's large-scale invasion of their clan land in the future... After all, judging from the conditions set by the other party, this so-called "cooperation" is too cheap for their lizards.
Are you human?
And it was not until the successful cultivation of the "experimental field" that the old witch doctor really saw how serious the young human general was about "farming"...
"Really just need to help you find suitable fields, and then... and then help you transport some river mud like this, and we can take away 30% of the harvest?"
The old witch doctor felt the faint fluctuations of magic power coming from the land in front of him, and felt the vigorous pulsation of the natural life force buried in the soil, and asked in disbelief.
"Not only that, don't forget to help take care of these lands! I won't send too many people here... Of course, if too many people are sent here, you, the witch doctor, will be the first."
Can’t you sit still?”
Speaking of this, Liu Yifei glanced at the other party, either intentionally or unintentionally, and then continued: "The main ones are these life messengers who are responsible for growing food, and a few guards who are responsible for protecting their safety.
Since the planting areas here are necessarily scattered and separated, they must spend more time riding flying mounts to and from various places to check the situation, follow up on the growth of the grain area at any time, and if there are any problems, they have to cast spells to adjust.
Coupled with the unique terrain factors here, we are unable to protect the cultivated land and the food that will grow in the future.
Although the short planting cycle will avoid many unexpected factors, there is no guarantee that it will still be destroyed by the wild life here. If you, your tribe, or you can contact more lizard people, and station such a team in each area,
Two guards would really help a lot...
Of course, 30% of the profits is my guarantee to you. I swear on me and my honor, there will be no jokes!
As for how you discuss with other tribes... this is an internal issue of your lizard tribe, and I will maintain the utmost respect and never interfere..."
Previously, in order to induce the other party to agree to the terms of cooperation, Liu Yifei promised to leave an extra half to the other party as "hard work fee." However, seeing that the other party finally relented, Liu Yifei did not mention it at all, but gave him
He gave the other party the identity of a "director", and only discussed the specific share ratio with the other party, and did not care about anything else.
The meaning of these words could not be more obvious. It is clear that it is to make room for the old lizard man to fool the other members of his tribe... And seeing the "successful case" right in front of him, this time the old witch doctor is
Really tempted...
Finally, the emergency grain production problem here in the west has been solved, and the big stone in Liu Yifei's heart has finally fallen to the ground!
Regardless of the fact that there is no vast and flat land around Onuma Lake suitable for large-scale reclamation, and those areas scattered among the swamps only need to use Pegasus to transport a small number of people, under the magic reclamation, the impact is not big at all, but will be due to the fertile local area.
The soil produces high-quality, high-yield rare grains.
Leaving the necessary personnel behind to start work on the spot, Liu Yifei took the remaining guards Xiaoxiao to conduct a reconnaissance in the direction of the former Nitang Village, which was the "first fortress" of the undead where the Shisui Knight and Jenny were later repelled by Heath.
.
The coverage area of the dark sky is larger than the one previously reported by Shisui Knight and Jenny, and even the land outside the dark sky gradually begins to turn a slightly grayish white color - this is the final sign of the accumulation of a large number of undead death forces that begin to corrode the earth.
Intuitive performance!
Even if a land like this is taken back, it still carries a terrible "toxicity". Even if any crops can be grown on it, it will only infect the user like plague seeds. It must be thoroughly purified.
No.
And if this "corrosion pollution" is allowed to continue, it is even more likely that the lowest level of unconscious undead cannon fodder will continue to be born from this cursed land. By then, this place will really become an overseas enclave of the Kingdom of Dia...
In the daily plot, there are always a large number of players on Liu Yifei's side to help him fight. It may be impossible for them to forcefully attack the base camp where the undead side is waiting, but it is still possible to form a relatively tight blockade and prevent some infiltration from the opponent's ground troops.
Even if the opponent launches a powerful ground force to attack, the gryphon sentries guarding the rear can send back information in time. This is the most important "isolation line" used by Liu Yifei to confront the undead's wandering troops.
Players in the quarantine area freely formed familiar adventurer teams to hunt the undead. After Liu Yifei and his team saw that there were no problems, they withdrew their troops and rushed back to Kalava.
After finally arranging everything in the general direction, Liu Yifei can finally deal with some "personal issues" in the next time - open the furnace! Make knives!
Compared with the situation when he was under the master dwarf blacksmith Luo Dahan, Liu Yifei is now much stronger in terms of personal strength and available resources~
Not only can he have the luxury of preparing energy potions and recovery potions in case of emergencies, he can even have the luxury of finding a monk to guard him - if he finds that he is still unable to do anything after using the potion, the monk can completely do it.
Give yourself a temporary rescue.
In this way, let alone casting "rare" level items, Liu Yifei felt that he could meet the basic requirements in terms of strength alone, as long as he had the material formula to create serious "treasure" level items.
In addition, in addition to the unlimited supply of basic metal ingots, thanks to Jenny's previous investigation and the search of the player team, Kalava's warehouse has accumulated a large amount of high-quality and rare materials, and even some more precious "treasure remains"
"It also accumulated some, and Liu Yifei really dug out a lot of good things from it.
Coupled with the "embers" obtained from the Bone Dragon's "self-immolation"...
This time, Liu Yifei really plans to put his forging skills to the test!
"Huh~~~"
Calmly, and carefully recalling the formula he had decided on, as well as the casting experience he had accumulated over the past two generations, Liu Yifei picked up the standard iron ingot at hand and began the initial hammering.
First, the basic materials were purified and refined to make them have better properties. Then, after the temperature of the magic forge further increased, Liu Yifei began to melt and forge the refined basic materials in large quantities.
The addition of a large amount of basic materials naturally increased the quality and volume of the "semi-finished product". However, seeing the time approaching, Liu Yifei began to add various alchemical reagents prepared in advance to the rough embryo of the weapon.
Under high-temperature transpiration, the rough metal embryo that was "stimulated" by the strange reagent to evaporate bursts of light, actually seemed to be "dissolved", and its original fixed shape began to disintegrate. However, Liu Yifei knew very well that this was just a
In the process of "compression", these materials are not actually lost much. The value of these alchemical reagents is to forcibly push up the quality of the weapon base material——
The "enhanced formula" composed of powerful precious materials will inevitably provide constant and powerful "special effects" for the appliance. However, these "special effects" themselves will become a burden on the base material. Once the quality of the base material is not up to par, the "special effects" built on it will
"Special Effect" will collapse.
Now Liu Yifei has collected a large amount of basic iron and copper without difficulty, but it is a bit troublesome to find a large amount of higher-quality suitable base materials, so he can only choose to build his "base" in this way...
Through purification, alchemical potions, and repeated forging and removing impurities with his own "giant power", the quality of the crude weapon was repeatedly improved, and then came the really important "finishing" stage!
Chisels, picks, pick-nose pliers, gold-breaking scissors... Various tools take turns in Liu Yifei's hands like butterflies dancing through flowers. A single formula represents multiples of rare materials and weapon inscriptions. At this point, with Liu Yifei
The military weapon forging experience of the "assembly line tinker" was no longer enough.
But fortunately, when he was in Standwick a while ago, he spent a lot of time on the imprint and forging of the "Magic Pattern Sword", and now he has accumulated some experience. In addition, the main body of the formula he chose is still those of comparison.
It is classic and practical, so Liu Yifei can still insist on it...
But after completing the construction of the four "recipes" on the rough embryo, Liu Yifei felt that even with the reinforcement of medicine, his energy could not keep up...
After all, whether it is repeatedly rotating the blacksmith hammer or working continuously next to a high-temperature fire, it is an extremely physically and mentally demanding task, not to mention completing those micro-manipulations of formulas that are like carving.
After giving a signal to the waiting monks, Liu Yifei suddenly felt that his condition was unprecedentedly intact under the increase of rounds of various blessing spells - using the blessing standards of fighting in battle to assist his "forging"
", such a hard-core operation may only be thought of by Liu Yifei at this moment. After all, if he does this, he will definitely be exhausted again after the "battle"...
At this point, most of the forging work of the weapon has been completed, and then Liu Yifei carefully took out a "cone"-shaped container rolled out of iron sheet from the side, which contained the most precious "embers" in Liu Yifei's hand.
Just like a pastry chef squeezing cream balls on a cake, Liu Yifei carefully controlled the container in his hand and carefully sprinkled the "embers" little by little onto the crude weapon embryo that was still under the high-temperature radiation of the magic furnace.
The magical thing is that the "rough embryo" of the weapon at this time is actually completed. After all, the shape has been completed, and even the "recipe" that has been built on it has begun to give the weapon itself almost extraordinary "characteristics". As long as
After quenching it, cooling it down, grinding it and consecrating it, it is actually an extremely high-quality weapon even in Erathia...
And even this nearly finished sword was only slightly red under the magic forge, but the moment the "embers" came into contact with it, clusters of tiny blue fireballs exploded at the impact point!
The exact temperature of these exploding small blue fireballs was unknown, causing the weapon that was originally just red to be "burned through" directly at the point of contact!
It's just that Liu Yifei was very careful in his movements, controlling the "embers" to slowly spread over the edge of the weapon, or even if it fell into the magic forge and exploded directly into waste, he didn't move the path of the embers any more.
In this way, the blade position of the "long knife" that was originally neat and integrated, instead looked like an ordinary piece of iron that had been corroded by concentrated sulfuric acid, revealing irregular and ugly pit marks, and even penetrating wounds, and then
The outermost ring of the entire knife suddenly looked like corroded scrap metal...
This operation was particularly labor-intensive, especially in order to control the area where the "embers" were spread. Liu Yifei had to get as close as possible to the high-temperature area of the magic forge to observe his operation, even if he had a little talent for [Fire Elemental Resistance]
Adaptable, but still feels as if my entire face is on fire...
However, all this effort and suffering is worth it in the end!!
After Liu Yifei managed to take a breath and insisted on completing the final quenching process, this one-handed long knife was ready for actual combat without even polishing it!
And without having to "summon" it to the big map and use the system interface to view detailed data, Liu Yifei knew that this knife had at least six special effects!!!
Six special effects...
You must know that the standard for ordinary "rare" artifacts is only three special effects. For example, Liu Yifei's "Greed" is the most standard rare-level broad-bladed long sword with three special effects.
Six special effects... Except for the constant blessing of powerful magic that can be expanded to the "army" level, this is by far the most common weapon in the game that meets the "treasure" standard!
At this moment, Liu Yifei could even clearly feel that his proficiency in forging had improved a bit...
