Chapter 229 The Imagination Of A Fairy Tale Town 2/4
Chapter 229 Imagination in a fairy tale town (24)
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
The rangers found a highland with a wide view and steep terrain.
The highland is semicircular, with three sides very high, more than 20 meters high. They are all smooth stone walls that are difficult to climb. Only one side is a gentle slope.
It is a dangerous place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Chapollet was responsible for the military aspect.
He shouted loudly: "The horse-drawn carriage comes up first, then the ox-cart. The ox-cart forms a half circle at the bottom of the slope to form a temporary protective wall."
"The gap between the oxcarts must be small, so that no one can pass by."
"Yes, let's do it like this."
Soon, a temporary camp was completed.
When he said this, Lydia smiled slightly.
"But using the petrification technique to build a stone house with the same function, you only need to hire four mages who are skilled in the petrification construction technique. It can be built in up to three days, and the cost is 50 crowns."
Although the higher the basic strength of the spell, the stronger the marginal effect, the polarity method to increase the power no longer exists in the middle level.
Lydia looked at Rosen: "Master Rosen, I heard Gaius say before that you still plan to use petrification to build a dam? Isn't it too risky?"
When they were about four miles away from the high ground, a tall man in the lead suddenly raised his hand and shouted.
"Uncle, let us help."
"The above is the most ideal situation, but to truly realize the ideal, we must make extraordinary efforts."
Harrick smiled and said: "I feel that Crescent Town will be very beautiful, and I have begun to look forward to it now."
"Every day there are people cleaning the streets, and there are also people taking care of the big trees and gardens on the streets."
I saw mages working in groups of four, casting spells in tacit cooperation with each other.
She smiled humbly: "I don't dare to say how long it will take to break through. As long as I can break through, I will be extremely satisfied."
"The holy name of a holy place is created by people. If a great mage can be born in Crescent Town, it will truly become a holy place."
"What we mages can do is to use wisdom and knowledge to light a blazing torch to dispel the darkness condensed by barbarism and greed!"
"In other words, even if the petrification technique is completely dispelled, relying on the adhesive properties and weight of the soil itself, the water storage in the reservoir can be easily blocked to ensure that there will be no disaster of dam failure."
Rosen nodded: "That's exactly what I thought."
The city wall is 400 meters long and 8 meters high. The foundation is five meters thick and the top layer is two meters wide. It is vertical on the outside and slopes on the inside, which tightly protects the temporary camp on the slope behind.
"Rosen, where are you building the fortress?"
It is also completely conceivable that when life completely settles down, Crescent Town will usher in a rather violent baby boom, and the population is expected to increase by several thousand.
After all, this place is in the wilderness, there are rebels in the mountains, and Vobos and Faerun are mortal enemies.
Rosen laughed: "Just in case."
Her voice was so delicate and gentle that everyone subconsciously fell silent, fearing that their rudeness would offend the beauty.
In other words, this thing is very expensive.
Rosen was using his mage's hands to peel tender shreds of meat from a roasted golden deer leg. After peeling a bowl full, he handed it to the good sisters next to him.
The actual implementation of the drinking water project requires great attention to detail.
Everyone was eating dinner and chatting.
When the light is dim and the distance is slightly farther, the difference between the stone wall and the slope cannot be clearly seen. You have to run within hundreds of meters to notice any abnormalities.
At this time, Rosen rushed over with the mage.
As soon as these words came out, Xia Bolay smacked his lips in disbelief.
Then, the mages started to build the petrified city wall in front of the oxcart protective wall according to the petrified construction techniques they had learned in Philander Village.
Master Hal on the side sighed softly, with emotion on his face.
The Bright Moon Carriage is very spacious. After folding the chairs and putting on the bedding, there is a large bed that is over two meters long and three meters long.
The whole process lasted about two hours.
Sitting around one of the bonfires were the core personnel of Crescent Town.
Rosen was surprised: "So strong?"
Master Hal also understood. He said softly: "There is a reservoir upstream. Then through the petrochemical pipeline buried underground, water can be diverted all the way to the town. The town will not have to worry about water at all."
"Oh~ this sounds like a dream!"
The women include Thrandis, Gendeloni, the wizard Lydia, and Chabolai's exclusive female officer Jania, who is also his childhood sweetheart and playmate.
As the camp gradually fell into silence, in the mountains to the north of the highland, a large group of black shadows were approaching the highland under the moonlight.
After dinner, everyone went back to their carriages to sleep.
Rosen also laughed.
"Various pipes will be pre-installed underground, some will bring in clean water from upstream, some will drain away rainwater, and some will specifically discharge sewage."
Everyone has put on weight, the old men have gained weight, the faces of the little girls and old women have become rounder, their breasts have become bigger, and their complexions have improved.
Many bonfires were lit on the slope for heating, and large pots were set up on the bonfires. Potatoes, bread and some bacon strips were boiled in the pots, and a little salt was added. After boiling, a strong aroma of food emerged.
"I am going to build a beautiful, spacious, clean, green town full of sunshine and the fragrance of flowers."
There was also a lot of dried bacon placed aside for roasting in the charcoal fire. It was roasted until it was very oily. Whenever the fat fell into the charcoal fire, it would make a "sizzling" sound.
"Rosen's estimate is reasonable and even a bit cheap. We have experienced two major purchases in the past year and the cost of materials has increased significantly. Now I am afraid that even 400 kronor is not enough."
"On the high ground, a two-story building made of stones and clay, with an area of half a ram, usually requires more than a dozen people to work hard and spend three or four months to complete."
More than 20,000 Crescent Territory residents gathered in groups around the campfire in their original rural areas, enjoying this rare comfort.
However, Rosen was not sleepy. He closed his eyes and sank into the virtual machine, becoming familiar with this powerful magic weapon that he had unexpectedly obtained.
But Rosen has already thought of a complete plan for the town's water system.
Two hours later, the sun set, the sky became dim, and the petrified city wall was completely formed.
But a 40% increase in the polarity value is enough to more than double the power of the mid-level spell corresponding to the polarity.
As she spoke, her eyes turned to Thrandis: "I think Mrs. Philander is very likely to break through the master barrier within ten years."
But for Rosen now, this is no longer a big problem.
"Now, let's start meditating."
"But in Silver Moon Castle, such a stone building does not count the premium or the land price. It only counts the materials and labor costs. It will cost about 300 crowns."
Harrick took a sip of mead and nodded in agreement.
But Gendeloni looked dissatisfied: "It's good, but it consumes a lot of materials. The top-quality moonstone at the core of the bracelet will crack after being used ten times."
At this time, the weather was clear, the moon and stars were sparse, the bonfire was warm, and the strong aroma of food wafted from the big pot on the fire.
The soldiers present felt nothing, but the mages were all ignited by Rosen's words, and felt a hot blood flowing in their chests.
Thrandis at this time is Anna.
"I am very happy to receive such a gift."
"I thought it was a dream before, but now, I can only say that this is the power of knowledge."
"No one defecates on the street, there will be no dark mud on the street, and there won't be any sour stench in the air."
The main reason is that the cost is very small, it is just a little tiring, but if you use it, you can greatly reduce the loss.
"I call it the internal amplification bracelet. It can temporarily increase the polarity of fire or gravity by 40% as needed."
At the top of the slope, the carriages formed another circle, and many bonfires were also lit in the circle.
"Ah~ It's like a fairy tale town."
They have become very skilled in convergence meditation, and the three of them quickly entered the best state.
Everyone else was also affected by the scene described by Rosen, and everyone was filled with expectations.
This is the resting place for mages and Silvermoon rangers.
It’s always a good idea to be prepared.
In the past month or so, these farmers have had enough to eat and drink, and they haven't had to work much.
Xia Bolay looked at the mage coming over and was a little confused: "These are menial jobs, how can you help?"
But Rosen's tone immediately changed.
So, he kissed the faces of the two girls a few times, then opened his big hands and took the warm and soft bodies of the two girls into his arms.
Rosen smiled slightly, waved his hand towards the nearly 300 mages behind him, and shouted: "Guys, open the eyes of Lord Xapolai."
After everything was arranged, it became completely dark.
With a dizzying speed, they built sections of tall stones, and then these stones were quickly and tightly connected together to form a stone city wall.
After meditating for a while, both women yawned and fell asleep.
"Two uncles, I won't go into detail about the performance of the petrification technique. I'll just talk about the construction cost."
Thrandis was also full of admiration: "It feels like a pearl embedded in the earth."
More than 20,000 people were resting on the hillside. At the top were the mages headed by Rosen, then the administrative officers and the Silver Moon Rangers, and further down were the more than 20,000 citizens of the Crescent Territory, and further down were the oxcarts.
Protective wall.
Hal couldn't help but said: "Rosen, maybe one day, Crescent Town will become a holy place for mages."
The children also all jumped up and down.
Thrandis explained: "You have been busy in the territory for the past few days, and I came up with a new idea, and Jenny built a good magic weapon based on this idea."
Gendeloni's face was full of yearning when she heard it, and she whispered softly.
Three hours passed quickly, midnight fell, and the world became extremely quiet.
The young mages responded in unison: "Yes, Mayor!"
"There will also be more warm bathrooms in the town, so that the townspeople can take a bath frequently to wash away the dust and sweat odor on their bodies, and also get rid of fleas and bedbugs, so that the room will not be full of odor when it is crowded, and there is no need to worry about fleas jumping around.
.”
Subsequently, Chapollet planned to install defensive wooden boards outside the oxcart retaining wall according to traditional defense methods.
Rosen nodded and said, "Indeed. But what I want to build is a gravity dam."
Although it's not as good as a bed at home, it's not too crowded for sleeping three people.
Rosen opened his mouth, took the tender meat stick that Thrandis handed to his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, and then changed his tone.
What's even better is that because of the petrified material, the color of the petrified wall is basically the same as the ground, and behind the city wall is a rising slope, so there is a kind of invisibility effect.
Lydia's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Ah~ once you say that, I don't have any worries anymore."
"The streets of the town are spacious and flat, the buildings on the roadside are bright and warm, and the residents of the town are all strong and healthy."
With a temporary rest of the night, such a stone wall was built, and with the oxcart full of supplies, it was able to hold on for more than half a year.
Xia Bolay on the side was already dumbfounded.
"What? A magic weapon?" Rosen was very surprised.
Before going to sleep, Gendeloni suddenly took out a small wooden box and handed it to Rosen: "Dear, we have prepared a small gift for you."
Harrick also echoed: "Although I really want to believe in your magic, after all, it has set a precedent for the golden land, so I always feel a little panicked."
After taking a few bites, Chabolai asked: "Rosen, do you really plan to use petrification to build a town?"
"Fobos, Faerûn, the monsters in the Snowy Mountains, and even the ice dwarves in the Frost Land may hinder the emergence of this ideal scene."
The men include Rosen, Chabolai, Harric, Wizard Hal, and Knight Hamil.
"Stop, rest where you are for three hours, eat solid food and drink water, and wait for midnight!"
After taking a few sips of the thick broth, he described the beautiful town in his mind in a low tone.
A large group of black figures of different sizes stopped together and sat on the ground to eat and drink to regain their strength.
She was dignified and reserved, her white jade cheeks were as beautiful as flowers reflected by the bonfire. She smiled slightly when she heard the words, and then she was like the bright moon, eclipsing everyone around her.
As a result, the aroma of barbecue in the air became stronger.
Chabolai joined in the fun and shouted: "It doesn't take ten years, I think five years is enough!"
The tall man turned to look at a masked man in a gray hat next to him.
"Mr. Master, is it your turn to take action?"
The masked man has thick white hair and looks very old.
He nodded slightly and said in a rough voice: "It's almost done."
