After Sanduoli sent people to settle the more than a thousand soldiers, it was already late at night. She ordered people to take turns to guard the residences of these soldiers to prevent them from causing trouble. However, they all looked listless and depressed.
It looks like I probably have no motivation to resist for a long time.
After handling these matters, Sandoli came to Xuan Weizi's castle and saw that his incarnation and Titus had returned, and there were still several people she didn't recognize standing around.
"This is Hyperion. I have received a lot of help from him in Fire Dance City. I plan to let him serve as the freight director of the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce. He will be responsible for building a fleet, transporting goods and materials to various places, and he will be able to receive dividends from the chamber of commerce."
Xuan Weizi sat in the front seat and motioned to Hyperion, who looked like a businessman beside him.
"I have no objection." Sandoli said, she didn't know much about the outside world.
Theus glanced at Hyperion and found that he did not have any obvious magical aura, nor did he seem to have superb magical skills. He didn't know why Xuan Weizi fell in love with this person, so he asked:
"Doctor, if we were to build a caravan of our own, we would probably need some escorts, right? The roads are not peaceful these days. Not to mention the Golden Crown Wood Dominion, there will also be bandits and indigenous guerrillas on the roads in some provinces and regions.
Carry out plunder. Occasionally there will be spellcasters among them!"
"Now Chaidui Town has enough manpower to form such a caravan." Xuan Weizi said: "Just like your original arcane guard, it was headed by a low- to medium-level spellcaster and led a group of psychic warriors or ordinary people.
Warriors, carry a small amount of magic items. Ordinary thieves no longer dare to rob. If there are adventurers or mercenaries willing to assist, we can also discuss the hiring price."
Theus thought for a while, if it was just a caravan, instead of carrying out missions in dangerous situations like the Orfa Guard, such a manpower configuration would be enough to ensure safety, so he nodded and said: "Then I have no objection."
Xuan Weizi said: "The Evergreen Chamber of Commerce has begun to make profits one after another. To sell our products to various places, we also need such a caravan fleet, or even more than one. Hyperion, I allow you to collect similar caravans on your way out.
Caravan, become a part of our Evergreen Chamber of Commerce."
Hyperion was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately agreed: "I know many similar team owners. If there is stable cooperation, they will definitely come."
Xuan Weizi nodded: "There is also the matter of the Changqing Chamber of Commerce setting up hospitals and training doctors. I think we can use the situation in Huowu City as a template and try to spread it to other areas, especially the villages and towns in the Dominion.
Chai Dui Town is basically as short of medical treatment as before.
Hyperion, when you go to different towns, in addition to business activities, you should also help inquire about the local doctors and alchemists to see if you can promote the experience of Fire Dance City and do a good job in publicity."
Hyperion nodded in agreement. After all, he was the one who proposed recruiting homeless doctors in Fire Dance City, so he naturally understood the business opportunities and prospects.
Sanduoli also heard about Xuan Weizi training doctors and opening a hospital in Huowu City. She interjected and asked: "Since other villages and towns are short of doctors and medicines, can we send spirit envoys there?"
Xuan Weizi winked at her and said, "The villages and towns in the Dominion are all colonist settlements. Are you not afraid of causing any trouble if you send the natives there?"
"That's right." Sandoli knew she had said the wrong thing and quickly shook her head.
"But I think it's not impossible." Xuan Weizi said: "Now Chai Dui Town has begun to take shape. The villages and towns in the western part of the Golden Crown Wood Dominion used to supply supplies to Laigen City, and now they have begun to supply Chai Dui Town. We
You can take this opportunity to sell the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce's medicine to them. If they lack healers, you can try to send spirit envoys there. If there is any accident, the spirit envoys also have the ability to cast spells and can protect themselves."
Theus smiled and said: "Doctor, you don't know yet, do you? In fact, we have already started selling medicines to those villages, especially ointments and powders for treating frostbite and dysentery, and we almost don't have enough stock."
Xuan Weizi asked in surprise: "Is it that exaggerated? I remember that before I left, I made a lot of similar medicines, enough for people in several villages and towns."
Titus put his arms on his hips and raised his chest quite proudly, and if he had a tail, he might have swung it. He said, "To be honest with you, I communicated with them quietly and found that some of them are actually smugglers.
Trafficking supplies to the Xuefeng Autonomous Territory. I don’t know how many people freeze to death and suffer from frostbite in that place every winter. Isn’t it about to start winter? Many people actually take this opportunity to come to our store to stock up on goods.”
"These guys have quite sensitive noses." Xuan Weizi didn't care too much about this. As long as the reputation of the Changqing Chamber of Commerce spreads, these basic medicines will have no sales.
"What about sending spirit messengers and doctors to other places..." Sandori asked.
Xuan Weizi tapped his forehead and thought for a while, then changed his attitude and said: "For now, it is better to be a little more cautious. Unless the other party takes the initiative to request us to send manpower, it will cause conflicts among the colonial settlements, which will be detrimental to our town. Especially in Chaidui Town.
Now that the Aboriginal Alliance may expand to Chai Dui Town, it is better to concentrate its manpower here and make various preparations."
Sandori frowned and asked, "Is the Major League really going to attack Woodpile Town?"
"A more accurate term is annexation." Xuan Weizi leaned back on the throne, changed his sitting posture, and said with his chin tilted: "Some time ago, we used the Green Ring to absorb several groups of indigenous people in the Grand Alliance who did not have tribal protection.
, this move aroused the dissatisfaction of the Grand Alliance. I obtained information from Tar Valon, and this should be the superficial reason for the Grand Alliance to send troops."
"On the surface? The real reason is to seize the land of Chai Dui Town so that we can attack outwards?" Sandori asked.
"almost."
Xuan Weizi thought of Fen Byron's intention to win over him, which was also to find a way to side attack the indigenous alliance from the direction of Chaidui Town. Especially the expansion and development of Chaidui Town can completely follow the example of Huowu City, as an empire
The forward base of the legion.
If the indigenous alliance were to capture Chaidui Town, they would probably have a similar plan. They could march straight in to capture the Golden Crown Wood Autonomous Territory, and then move south to threaten Huowu City.
"In fact, everyone knows that the so-called armistice and peace treaty are just a temporary break for the next war." Xuan Weizi said: "Now the indigenous alliance has not completely reached an agreement, and there are still doubts about whether to send troops, so we
There is still time, so we must improve the protection and defense around Chaidui Town as soon as possible."
Theus asked: "Doctor, you should have plans, right? Arrange a large magic circle like the one in Fire Dance City?"
Xuan Weizi nodded and said: "That's true, but there are a lot of preparations to be made now... This is a design of a ditch and water system. Come and take a look."
After saying that, Xuan Weizi raised his hand, and a map more than five feet long and wide was spread out on the long table. Everyone on both sides looked over. The map showed the general outline of Chaidui Town, except for a few scattered around.
The altar also depicts more than a dozen water systems that currently do not exist with conspicuous lines.
"What is this?" Theus also wanted to see from the distribution of the ditch and water system whether it conforms to the geometric laws of some kind of spell or magic circle.
But Sandoli understood it at a glance: "Is this used to irrigate farmland?"
"Not bad." Xuan Weizi nodded, Sanduoli's overall thinking has improved more and more.
Theus didn't understand and asked: "What does this... ditch used for irrigation have to do with the magic circle?"
Now on both sides of the long table, in addition to Sandori and Titus, there are Rosaleen who is lying on the table with her eyes squinting and dozing off, Hyperion who dare not interrupt and talk too much, Isai who is listening carefully and taking notes, and
There is Wolf who is confused and has a look on his face of "Who am I and where am I?"
Xuan Weizi looked at Sanduoli, as if asking her to explain. Sanduoli only saw a rough idea and could only say in a thoughtful way: "The ditch water system itself is not a magic circle, but a combination of water elements and earth elements.
A compatible environment. According to you, a structure that is stable and can operate for a long time should have both the four elements, but now there are only water elements and earth elements, and the other two..."
"It is everywhere." Xuan Weizi said: "The air element between heaven and earth wanders with the wind, flowing endlessly. The fire element rises and falls with the sun and moon, and rises and falls in the four seasons. In the natural environment, the four major elements are already present.
Plants, in particular, are highly dependent on the joint action of four elements to sprout and grow - land carries and provides nutrients, water nourishes and connects the upper and lower parts, leaves breathe the atmosphere, pollen spreads with the wind, light and heat shine, and they are full of vitality.
Many people think that growing food is a non-profitable thing, but they don't think about it. Food crops continuously transform the four elements, using an extremely delicate process to convert natural raw materials into substances that humans can consume and absorb energy.
In fact, the cost of converting the natural raw materials of the four major elements is almost borne by the plants themselves. If the human body itself is used to refine and convert the four major elements into energy substances for survival, what kind of investment is required?"
Sandori nodded thoughtfully, Rosalian opened one eye and looked at Xuan Weizi, Wolf half-opened his mouth and stood still, Hyperion covered up the embarrassment that he could not understand, and Isai quilled
After writing down the complete description with constant shaking, only Theus shrugged and spread his hands indifferently and said:
"This is not easy. Transforming into a lich is not a problem. You don't need to eat, drink, or breathe. It's just a pity that you can't enjoy the happiness of life."
If the scenery was so bad, Xuan Weizi couldn't help but roll his eyes, raised his hand and pointed at Theus: "You! That's it, you are responsible for building the altar and digging trenches! We only have the manpower.
Use the legionnaires I brought to start work tomorrow!"
"Okay! I'll cover it! Cough, cough, cough..." Theus slapped his chest, but he hit it too hard and made himself cough repeatedly.
As a mage, Theus is indeed not suitable for the fairy magic that is closer to the natural whole of heaven and earth. Instead, a druid and a spirit messenger, a spell caster who pursues a close connection with nature, is similar to the fairy temperament.
However, it is only close. The Taoism of the Immortal Family naturally refers to the concept of "nature" composed of vegetation, mountains, rivers, birds and animals on the earth's surface. However, where we start from the beginning, there are still places for mutual confirmation and reference.
For example, the ancient immortal methods recorded in the "Five Emperors' Immortal Letters" may be slightly inferior to the alchemy methods of later generations in terms of complete system and advanced steps. However, among the ancient sages,
He has a simple and profound insight into the nature of heaven and earth and the operation of all things.
Retracting his mind that was about to fall into a trance, Xuan Weizi raised his hand and introduced Isai who was taking notes in the corner: "This is Isay Sotos, the alchemist I brought from Fire Dance City. From now on, you will follow Sandori.
He and Titus, learn the knowledge of herbal medicine and alchemy, and help them by the way. I will publicly explain the "Six Qi Guidance Technique" from time to time."
Isai bowed obediently to the two of them, and Xuan Weizi said to Sandori: "There is a child named Little Tyro with Hyperion. It's too late now, and I didn't let him come. Let him come tomorrow too."
Learn basic medical knowledge from you."
"I know." Sandori replied.
"Little Taylor also has a sister who was born with brain dementia. I need to carefully treat her with acupuncture and medicine. You will be by my side to assist me during the treatment." Xuan Weizi said.
Sandori nodded, while Hyperion stood aside with gratitude. Xuan Weizi ignored the common etiquette and waved his hands for everyone to leave.
At this time Wolf pointed to himself and asked: "Then what should I do?"
Xuan Weizi showed a strange expression and said with a smile: "You, just reluctantly become the guard captain of Chaidui Town! Go to the Battle Academy to train the spiritual warrior. Anyway, you are thick-skinned and you can practice martial arts with others. Now, it's time
Just go and do whatever you want."
Everyone left one after another, Rosalian looked back at Xuan Weizi with some reluctance, and softly called out "meow", her tail raised high, shaking a tuft of white hair at the end, showing a charming look.
feel.
Xuan Weizi just waved her hand to let her go, and sat on the throne with his eyes closed in concentration.
After everyone and the cat left the castle, Xuan Weizi's incarnation came out from behind the throne, and two crows landed on the edge of the table in front of Xuan Weizi.
Xuan Weizi opened his eyes, and there was a flash of silver light in his wrists. Three eight-view Xuan furnaces were stationed in all directions, steaming with arrogance, and the immortal spirits were invisible to protect the law, blocking all prying eyes. Xuan Weizi took out Biyun Ruyi and handed it to Heng Yizi in front of him.
, he transformed into the true form of the god general, took him out of the castle, and flew into the sky to monitor the surrounding area. In addition, he waved the flying god Jinwu to leave, and sent out rampant troops to guard the four sides of the castle.
"Okay, now there are no outsiders." Xuan Weizi's incarnation said. He stared at me and said: "You are really adventurous. You have led more than a thousand soldiers back to Chaidui Town despite the disaster of vacuum.
Aren't you afraid that they will fight back and kill you without a burial place?"
Xuanweizi himself breathed out soothingly, and the purple energy and golden light spread around his body, and said: "I am not completely unprepared. If those legionnaires really have such courage and strategy, they will send hundreds of people to stop me regardless of their lives.
, so that others can have a chance to escape."
The Avatar smiled and said: "This is easy to say, but not everyone volunteers to be the victim."
“If it’s not voluntary, how can we make sacrifices?”
"You go and say this to the cow that is clothed with embroidery and fed with cud. See if it is willing to be led into the ancestral temple and become a sacrifice that is worshiped by others, or if it is willing to be like rolling in the mire with its tail.
An orphan?" The incarnation touched lightly with ten fingers and spoke softly.
"The turtle rolling around in the quagmire is the Divine Turtle of Chu." I glanced at the incarnation: "Are you trying to argue with me? Are you telling the story of Nan Hua Zhenren in a serious way? You know that what I said is not the same thing.
.Whether they are Gudu or Tugui, they are all people who live in seclusion in the mountains and do not mess with the world. Those legionnaires are the dust of the world. What qualifications do they have to be compared with the Tailao sacrificial ox and the ancestral temple turtle?"
"Didn't you create me just to find the errors and deviations in your own practice? It's my duty to argue with you," the incarnation said.
