Xuan Weizi was in seclusion in his stone hut, but there was chaos in Chaidui Town.
After all, the hunter team's discovery of the indigenous ruins was not hidden from everyone. The matter of provoking the indigenous people and even magical beasts also attracted the attention of Sheriff Sir Salemi, who ordered the rectification of the defense of Pile Town and the construction of fortifications at the same time.
According to Xuan Weizi's wishes, Wolf did not go against Sir Salemi on this matter. He was responsible for issuing orders, calling back the people scattered outside Pile Town, and using local materials to strengthen the defenses.
The most indispensable thing in Chaidui Town is logs. Use sharpened logs to line the walls and smear wet mud on the surface. In a cold and remote place like Chaidui Town, it can be as cold as a stone wall in one night.
The weapons used by the natives of the New World are relatively backward, and there are no such things as siege equipment. If you rely on Firepile Town, you can still defend yourself against the natives' attacks. The only problem now is how to deal with the magical beasts.
The so-called magical beasts are a general term that refers to animals with innate spellcasting abilities or magical effects. Many scholars have tried to classify magical beasts, but the results have not been very significant.
At present, we can only think that the emergence of magical beasts does not simply rely on natural reproduction. For example, a winged snake that can spray freezing rays may have its parents just ordinary winged snakes. The magical beast itself should be a combination of magical energy and life forms. A product combined under a special mechanism.
Some mages have also tried to cultivate magical beasts and improve their bloodlines, but the results have been unsatisfactory. In addition to creating a bunch of deformed monsters and causing large and small magical accidents, the appearance patterns of magical beasts have still not been grasped.
Based on our current understanding of the natives of the New World, there is indeed a phenomenon of raising magical beasts among their tribes, and spirit messengers are often related to magical beasts in some way. When the two work together, they will cause considerable trouble to the imperial army.
Chaidui Town is considered a border town in the Golden Crown Wood Dominion. There is no communication crystal tower set up by the mage here. We can only rely on horseback to convey messages. In addition to the gathering of troops in the rear and the deployment of supplies, it will not be possible to support them for more than half a month.
And judging from Sir Salemi's attitude, he is obviously not willing to report the dangerous situation here to the outside world. He patrols throughout Chaidui Town every day, inspecting the construction of fortifications, the making of weapons, and the storage of food, just like a military general. appearance.
Xuan Weizi actually didn't stay in seclusion for too long. After he refined his astral body into a clone, he released it to walk. He only had an invisibility effect, so he knew everything about the situation inside and outside Chaidui Town.
This feeling is a bit like traveling in a trance, but Xuan Weizi's body and spirit are not damaged, and he can still move freely, and various psychic powers can also be used by the astral body clone without any hindrance.
"It can be easily controlled from a distance of two or three miles, and it has a spiritual link with the clone that cannot be broken. It can pass everything it sees to me. Although the clone cannot have the same level of psychic powers, this level is still okay at the moment. Already..."
At the edge of the forest far away from Chaidui Town, the astral clone lost its invisibility, and its body split into more than a dozen birds of different types scattered into the forest.
During this period of time, Xuan Weizi has actually been using bird scouts made from the astral body to scout the surrounding environment of Chai Dui Town. These birds are not like clones that can use psychic powers at will, but can only maintain low-level creatures and auras. detection, but the advantage is that they are easy to control and can be in harmony with the surrounding environment without being noticed.
Ordinary psychics do not have this kind of power. Xuanweizi only knew from Olanso's old memories that mages had familiars responsible for reconnaissance and guarding, so he had an idea and used the astral system to create these bird scouts.
But to be honest, Xuan Weizi also had to lament that the mages in this world have many methods and a wide variety of spells. His bird scouts are at best an extension of his eyes and ears, and at worst they can convey messages for him, while the mage's familiars are as low as swimming and patrolling.
From reconnaissance and guarding, ranging from household cleaning and assisting in work, to charging into battle and participating in battles, the type and level alone is dazzling.
More importantly, a mage's familiar can be highly intelligent, much smarter than the "sweeping robots" that Xuan Weizi saw in the market in his previous life. It is said that there is a familiar made by a legendary mage with a level of intelligence
It can already help the mage master conduct magic experiments and research. What is even more rare is that he is absolutely obedient to his master, tireless, and more useful than an apprentice.
In addition, there is the communication crystal tower invented by the mage. It is said that this kind of thing was born in response to the colonial expansion of the New World. After all, the New World is far away from the mainland of the empire, and it is very difficult to transmit messages, and it needs to govern various autonomous territories. Without advanced communication technology, it is often a problem.
It took a long time for settlements to be discovered after they were wiped out by the natives.
Xuan Weizi didn't know how to make a communication crystal tower, but he thought it would definitely consume a lot of materials and require the arcane ability of the mage to support it. A remote market town like Chaidui Town that does not produce particularly important materials is naturally not qualified to set up one.
Communication crystal tower.
"Calculation ability, communication ability, and undoubted combat ability. These strength elements can be transformed in such a concentrated manner. It's no wonder that mages have become the best among spell casters." Xuan Weizi sat in front of the hut and looked up at the clouds.
Although he understands the power and comprehensiveness of the mage, he is not envious.
In his previous life, apart from practicing alchemy, Xuan Weizi had an understanding of many things in the human world. Although he was not proficient in everything, he believed that this was the quality that a person who practices Taoism and seeks immortality should have, rather than immersing himself in hard work.
practice.
There are many Taoist masters in Chinese history who also have profound attainments in astronomy, geography, medicine, epigraphy, magic and physics, etc. They are even more proficient in court tactics and military strategy. There has never been an established standard that requires Taoists to only
Hiding in a cave in the mountains, escaping from the world and cultivating.
"Remember back then..." Xuan Weizi thought for a while, pinched his brows and said, "Forget it, with this thought, it's hard to break the delusion. Let the past go by. Let's talk about the rest now that the world has gained a foothold."
On the surface, as a doctor of Olanso, Xuan Weizi did not forget to prepare medicine for everyone. He came to this world and identified many herbal medicines. After taking them directly, he used the skill of internal reflection to sense the specific effects of the herbal medicines on the human body.
Mechanism, but he has made rapid progress in the knowledge of herbal medicine.
Coupled with the help of the bird scouts, Xuanweizi was always able to find various herbs with medicinal value in the forest and made them return with the grass in their hands, saving Xuanweizi the trouble of collecting them himself.
"These are medicines for trauma. You should apply this medicine after treating the wound. The antidote in these jars is for internal use. Remember to take only one spoonful at a time and mix it with a large bowl of water..."
Xuan Weizi took out the medicine jars one by one and explained them clearly to the townspeople who came.
"By the way, Dr. Olenso, the Sheriff said he can use miracles to heal the injured. Should we listen to him?" asked a town citizen holding a medicine jar.
Xuan Weizi thought for a while and replied: "If Sir Salemi is willing to perform miracles, this is of course a good thing. But when the battle breaks out and the number of injured increases, it may not be possible for him to perform miracles alone. These days, I also
Teach you how to identify and process herbal medicine, and even if there is no miracle, it can still barely guarantee the cure of injuries and illnesses."
In fact, the reason why Xuan Weizi is respected by everyone in Chai Dui Town has nothing to do with him being a psychic. In fact, apart from dealing with the incoming natives, Xuan Weizi will not reveal his psychic powers when he is idle.
.
When Xuan Weizi first came to Chai Dui Town, the living environment here was even worse than when Sir Salemi saw him. Wolf was not the mayor at that time, and the town was lifeless. They only relied on selling wood and furs.
They were barely able to make ends meet, and many babies died just after birth.
In addition to treating people with medicine, Xuanweizi also taught them how to produce. In fact, the land around Chaidui Town is quite fertile. Even if you don't know how to cultivate intensively, you can still harvest the common snails and white chestnuts in the New World. Xuanweizi
Teach the townspeople simple retting techniques to ensure that the local food harvest will not fail.
In addition, they need to dig wells to collect water so that everyone can develop the habit of drinking boiled water. Anyway, there is no shortage of firewood in Chaidui Town. However, the men here are more accustomed to getting drunk after working, and Xuan Weizi is too lazy to do this.
Tube.
Later, the old mayor died of illness, and Wolf became the new mayor based on his reputation among the lumberjacks. He worked with Xuan Weizi several times to deal with indigenous attacks, and only then did Wolf obey Xuan Weizi in everything.
However, these days, Xuan Weizi has also realized that the abilities of psychics are not rich enough. Except for some psychic abilities used for fighting, there are very few abilities that can be truly applied in daily life and production.
Being reminded by the townspeople today, Xuan Weizi felt that the shortcomings of psychics who lacked healing abilities were extremely obvious.
Even in another world, ordinary people are still subject to birth, aging, illness and death. Especially during the colonial development period, injuries and illnesses are inevitable. At this time, efficient healing spells are often needed.
The Holy Lord Church possesses a spell-casting ability that they call "miraculous", and they even claim that it is not "magic." Both its priests and armed guards have the ability to heal injuries and illnesses through miracles, and this
This is a direction where a few mages have no obvious advantage.
The fighting situation faced by Chaidui Town before was not fierce, and it was all sporadic harassment by the indigenous people. However, after the hunter team was severely injured, only a few people managed to escape alive. If there were healing magic to alleviate the injuries at that time, then there would definitely be people who could come back alive.
More.
The civilians of Chaidui Town have not realized it yet, but if they learn that Sir Salemi's miracles can easily cure the injuries that Xuan Weizi spent time and medicine to cure, then everyone will naturally follow Sir Salemi.
With faith, this is not a situation that Xuan Wei Zi can reverse.
Xuan Weizi is a Taoist cultivator and is in a different world. He has no intention of competing with others for followers, but his shortcomings in ability cannot be ignored.
After much deliberation, Xuan Weizi decided to start with Sir Salemi.
…
"You want me to treat the injured hunter?" Sir Salemi stood in the newly built walled corridor and was a little confused when he heard Xuan Weizi's words.
Xuan Weizi nodded, pointed to the open space outside the wall and said: "Sir Salemi, although these hunters disturbed the natives and may attract revenge from them, we still need all useful manpower now. These hunters have been in the forest for a long time.
, I am very skilled in bow and arrow skills, and with a little training, it will not be a problem to serve as a militia archer."
"What you said makes sense." Sir Salemi said this, but what he was thinking about was how to win people's followers by treating hunters. He took the upcoming indigenous attack very seriously.
"But I have a question." Sir Salemi looked at Xuan Weizi and asked, "We are now going through a lot of trouble to build fortifications. What if the natives don't attack?"
Xuan Weizi smiled inwardly and said, "You were the one who shouted the loudest when I said we were going to build fortifications. Why are you asking me now?"
However, Xuan Weizi still did not refute the other party's face and told the truth: "I have been monitoring the direction of the forest to the west. There are indeed natives spying on Chaidui Town. And they are acting very cautiously. They are all in small groups. I used to
I have never seen such a formation, so I guess the natives are planning to launch a large-scale attack."
"Do you have long-distance detection magic? Is this the magic of your psions?" Sir Salemi asked.
Xuan Weizi didn't know how to answer it all of a sudden. Sir Salemi was a bit straight-forward in dealing with people. Most people would not take the initiative to ask questions about the details of other people's spellcasting abilities.
"It's not a very good skill." Xuan Weizi had no choice but to answer.
Unexpectedly, Sir Salemi refused to give up: "In this case, you can know in advance when and in what direction the natives will attack. Why don't we prepare a trap?"
"It's not up to me to decide." Xuan Weizi was noncommittal, but gave the Sheriff a slightly higher look.
Sir Salemi looked thoughtful and said: "Then I will arrange for people to dig a hole outside the town later. I have read military books before and know that a reasonable trap arrangement can shock the morale of the opponent. The natives cannot attack for a long time.
, as long as their offensive is contained, we can counterattack!"
"Then it's up to you, Sheriff." Xuan Weizi said, "Now let's ask Sir Salemi to treat those hunters."
Sir Salemi did not hesitate and walked in front with dignity. Although his cashmere gown was a little stained after being busy these days, it did not affect his outward bearing at all.
Xuan Weizi carefully moved his soul to sense the other party, and noticed that Sir Salemi had subtle magical energy, which surrounded the body inside and outside with a special structure, and formed some kind of fluctuation with the vitality. Xuan Weizi secretly used psychic powers.
It can detect and find the other party as if the whole body is exuding warm and soft light, like a living light bulb walking on the road.
Xuan Weizi was still there secretly observing. Unexpectedly, Sir Salemi suddenly turned around and asked: "Doctor, what are you looking at?"
"It's nothing." Xuan Weizi immediately withdrew his spiritual energy and said in his heart: "Sure enough, this kind of detection behavior will still attract the other party's attention... But the aura emanating from him looks really magical at first glance. People who don't know it might think that
It’s the Yang God with a tall body emitting yang flames, but it’s paradoxical.”
