18. New Residents

Andrea has set sail again.

She will arrive at Shadow Swamp along the Allen Peninsula, where she will load up five banyan tree guards, and they will escort them to the ruins of Vina Freeze Harbor to pick up the sixth group of migrating residents.

But even if everything goes well, it will take Andrea at least five days to return to the bay.

The steam engine, internal combustion engine and some scientific drawings were brought back by the businessman Anthony and piled in the open space of the square. Residents are building a second warehouse next to the warehouse to store them.

The Land of Light, starting from scratch, can only accept old objects from the Vina Freeze Port or the old sewers for the time being. Real order and development can be established only after the arrival of the sixth group of residents, composed of scholars, professors, lawyers and others.

Mateus gave Lu Li a list of ninety-four people in total, which also included a fully equipped team of the Steam Knights. They would help the Land of Light establish a force belonging to humans, or to Lu Li.

The former mayor had selfish motives: he still could not trust weirdness like Lu Li, and hoped that Lu Li could form his own Knight Guard. The reason why Lu Li did not refuse has not changed: there is no conflict between the technological side and the mysterious side.

As for the prejudice of the five knights, this sentiment is never equitable. The prejudice of the strong against the weak will always exist, but the prejudice of the weak will be broken down as long as the weak is treated with a little kindness by the strong.

After placing the Swamp Mother in place, Lu Li stayed awake and walked along the "Immortal Wall" on the fourth morning after returning to the Land of Light, circling the camp under the twisted figure of the church and the gaze of the Swamp Mother on the terrace of Joseph Manor.

, and then draw an elliptical line similar to the outline of the lake on the outer edge of the Agate Lake on the old Belfast map taken from the Wiener Refuge Area.

This represents the general outline of Agate Lake Campground.

The circumference of the Agate Lake camp is about 14 miles, and at least 65 banyan tree guards are needed to surround the "Immortal Wall". Considering that the banyan tree guards who followed the Swamp Mother are the strongest group, they will only need more than this.

.

However, the Swamp Mother said that there are a total of one hundred and seventy-nine banyan trees, and as long as they all migrate here, they will be enough to guard the Agate Lake camp. The Swamp Mother, who has become obsessed with the sun, said that she does not mind abandoning the Shadow Swamp and killing the barren area.

His swamps are left to the Twisted Jungle.

But Twisted Treeline also wants to leave the swamp.

When the merchant Anthony went to the Shadow Swamp to retrieve the Swamp Mother's items, he brought back a message from the giant tree: The giant tree hates loneliness and yearns for sunshine.

Lu Li had no intention of leaving the Twisted Jungle in Shadow Swamp. Although stationing there could help the Allen Peninsula resist the invasion from the Main Continent, his territory was only the Land of Light, not the Allen Peninsula.

Returning to the wooden house, Lu Li spread the parchment map with symmetrical creases on the table. The morning sunlight shone through the window and entered the wooden house. He traced shadows on the warm parchment map.

Sketch-like dotted shadows wrap around the back and left and right sides of Agate Lake. These shadows represent the twisted jungle. They will block all the darkness on the back of Sugard Mountain.

The front of the Agate Lake camp is guarded by banyan trees, and as the camp begins to expand outward, they will also be stationed in the neighborhoods of old Belfast.

But everything takes time, and migration on the surface can easily attract terrifying entities that lurk in the darkness. Andrea can only travel between the east and west ends of the Ellen Peninsula, but even if she only transports the banyan tree guards, it will take nearly two months.

There are also other servants of the Swamp Mother and more of the Twisted Jungle.

That's not all it takes time.

The population of the Agate Lake camp, the learning of the residents, the mastery of technology and alchemy, and the recapture of the Land of Light all take time.

The scale of territory development will inevitably be measured in weeks or even months.

Lu Li rejected the two gods' proposal to capture the Land of Light, and also rejected their suggestion to let the believers clear the streets, for fear of triggering weird riots in old Belfast. Moreover, even if they temporarily regained more territory, they would not have the extra population or guards to occupy it.

Protect there.

It’s not yet time for the Agate Lake camp to move eastward in a big way.

So for the next period of time, Lu Li was forced to slow down and was no longer as busy as he had been for the previous four days.

In the next three days, he was immersed in writing down the knowledge of Giant Tree Academy. At the same time, he conveyed the Lord's will to the Agate Lake Camp: Lu Li ordered the residents to change their schedule to work during the day and rest at night, and then go to the camp square every afternoon to learn how to read.

.

Because the shack, wooden bridge and second warehouse have been built, and the section of the "Immortal Wall" destroyed by the strange invasion has long been repaired, only pitted dirt remains, so residents do not need to build more buildings for the time being.

And if you keep building houses, you won't be able to keep the Land of Light alive.

When evening comes, the residents return to their shacks, and the sounds of endorsements turn into snores. As the stars hang in the hollows, the Twisted and Vine cultists come to the square, and it is their turn to learn.

They need to learn how to use wisdom, which is a skill that humans have survived to this day.

It's just that even Lu Li is not sure whether it is right to let weirdos learn knowledge. Many weird races are stronger and smarter than humans, but most of them can't use wisdom, and it is difficult to establish civilization. Although it is not that there are deep divers such as Lu Li has come into contact with

civilization.

And when a group of weird tribes that are stronger and smarter than humans stand on the earth, is that ringing the death knell for the end of humanity?

During the time when he was hiding in the wooden house, Lu Li copied the knowledge in his mind. Giant Tree Academy has divided the knowledge into levels for each stage. Lu Li only needs to make slight changes to turn it into the knowledge of the Land of Light.

He retained the classification of Giant Tree Academy, but classified level 1 of occultism and some knowledge into the basic content: such as the illustrated book of strange ethnic groups, the rituals of known evil spirits, and the types of disasters. These will be used as basic knowledge for all residents to learn and master.

Although all residents are well aware of the dangers of this world, there will always be people who do not know a certain piece of knowledge. Compared with the consequences of encountering weirdness, the pollution caused by learning knowledge is nothing to mention, let alone the possibility of transformation.

Become a believer in the Church of the Twisted and Vine.

At the same time, Lu Li told the first batch of migrants that starting from tomorrow, they will have one day of rest per week, and the rest of the second batch of migrants will start from next month, and so on.

"What is break time?"

In the square, residents who had finished studying gathered in front of the Vine Cultists: "Are we going to be driven away..."

Even those who were not the first residents were panicked by the news.

Chaos quickly brewed, and there were even cries of collapse.

"That's a day off, a day where you don't have to work!"

Porter, Mitra and other residents born in the old days shouted to the surroundings.

"The rest time is at your disposal, you can do whatever you want." The vine believer explained to reassure the frightened residents.

Then confusion fills their hearts because they don't understand what "rest" means.
