After receiving the territory documents, Diderit led the elves on their way back. She was about to participate in the God-Looking and Prophecy ceremony at the Ice Peak Fortress as the "Lord Minas Ishir". This means that within two weeks, she will rush from almost the northernmost side of the Sunset Mountains to the southernmost Holy Trinity Castle, and then return... This is a total distance of nearly a thousand kilometers.
Only the elf knight and the elf horses, and the paladin's magical abilities, can achieve such a feat.
The benefits are obvious. Minas Ishir was the first territory to determine the jurisdiction and the lord took office, and was also the first to receive funding from the sect. When the convoy full of "magic potatoes" began to march northward, the great prophecy ritual had not yet begun, and priests in many places were still worried about whether they could become lords.
"She's back." Eddie held his cheek and sat across the table across the table, tilting his head to watch him eat. The food was simple, with a lot of flour mushroom soup and a piece of cheese, and there was no meat star in it.
Feichi just frowned when he took his first bite, then ignored it, grabbed the spoon and delivered it to his mouth. "From this food, I knew the elves are back again. When will we separate the kitchen from the elves?"
"It should be soon. Diderit also has some opinions on the current food - she eats meat."
"Well, I know this." Feiqi thought about it and calculated in his heart: "Didritt really didn't brag, the elf's horse was so fast! This is an advantage, but not all roads are as good as the main road to the San Trinity Castle. By the way, Eddie, how are our money spending?"
"Building materials and other things have started to rise, but fortunately we bought them early. The nails, lime, wooden boards and ropes of the three towns of Basto, Kakki and Chishui have almost wiped out. Swan Town - Oh, I have to change the word "Minas Ishir, there should be some inventory there, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation. It's all ours."
"At least you won't suffer any loss in stocking up in advance. After all, the fact that the model leader must have spread now. There are twelve lords at once, so there are twelve castles. This is not a small number. If I were a businessman and had both building materials and craftsmen who could build cities, then I would be so happy."
"I know this. But why don't you hire a construction craftsman, but a carriageman and a stonemason?"
"Because I want to build a convoy, I want to build the roads of the territory. Not only do I need to build our own, but also other territory." Feige handed the jar at hand to Eddie: "Don't worry, this is yours."
"Goat milk? Why do you have it here too?" Eddie sighed, "I'm almost vomiting..."
"You need to grow a body - just look at the face, Wumama looks more like a woman than you. And this is not my idea. Ssina put it here in advance. I don't want to be troubled by her. I advise you not to do anything." Feiqi didn't smile on his face, but he could see that he was smirking in his heart.
Eddie took the jar and immediately burped when she smelled the smell. She hesitated for a while, and finally gritted her teeth and drank the jar dry, then covered her mouth to prevent it from spitting out. It took a long time to recover.
"I think the recipe Scinna has ordered for you is not right, but it probably makes sense to see her good figure."
"Young Master! Let's talk about the convoy!" Eddie kept hiccupping, even taking out the paper and pen to prepare for recording.
"There are only two towns within the territory of Minas Ishir. The original Swan Town and Bulong Town have fourteen villages under their jurisdiction. Collingwood is the closest to us and the farthest from Swan Town. The roads of these towns and villages are extremely poor, with only the original mud roads, which turn into mud pits when rains. This is obviously not possible. Especially Collingwood, there was originally a quarry, but it went bankrupt because it could not be transported."
"Building roads is very expensive, but this time, the model led the construction of the castle to increase the price of building materials, and the excess profit can smooth out the cost of building roads. I have convinced Diderit that Minas Ishir will not build the castle. We will ask for the materials as usual, but we will sell them directly and let others go to repair the castle!"
Eddie blinked: "How to defend without a castle in the territory? Can you use the Ice Peak Fortress for the Elves? But the Ice Peak Fortress is too biased, and even Collingwood is very remote and not suitable for managing the entire territory."
"Who did you build a castle to defend? The lords of other model leaders? Which paladin or priest will attack us soon? I dare not say for ten years, and I will definitely not fight within five years. The model leaders are different from other places. As long as the lord does not die, he will hide in the Holy Tribe Castle and ask the bishops of the Puja, then the territory will not be lost."
"It makes sense to say that. The elves' horses are so fast, they will definitely run away... But even if the lord is too embarrassed to have a castle, it will be difficult to establish prestige. Moreover, the farmers below will feel uneasy if they can't see the fortress."
"This is true for human lords. For elves, it can be explained by the fact that elves like to live in trees. Besides, isn't the Ice Peak Fortress a strong city? If you build a road, anyone can easily move to the Ice Peak Fortress. This is also a safety guarantee." Feiqi smiled slightly, "Don't forget that the Ice Peak Fortress is strong, which means that it will become a material storage center, and it means that this is the most important place for Minas Ishir. The only thing that needs to be solved is actually the problem of heavy snow in winter blocking mountains - but I also have ideas for this. Developing territory and building castles, two people only care about one end and concentrate their efforts to do it well. This is the most profitable thing. In comparison, territory is more important than castles."
The castle is not only a refuge for the lord, but also a storage point for taxes and food collected by the territory. Feiqi used data calculations to convince Didrit that there was no need to build a new lord castle, but directly used the Ice Peak Fortress, which was more cost-effective. The idea of ​​"light assets" operation and "building roads to get rich" seemed very advanced in this society where land was the most important means of production, and Didrit was also dizzy when he agreed.
She even forgot to keep her money with her.
"Build a carriage, the stonemason will mine the stones, and sell the stones while repairing the road. As long as the road can be repaired and the convoy can operate, the next thing will be easy to do." Feige pinched his nose: "Eddie, you must focus on the planting of magic potatoes. The number must be large and very large."
"You have said it many times, I will do it. However, the magic potato has a devil's curse!"
"I'll solve this. Unfortunately, only potatoes and no corn, otherwise it would be even better..."
"What potato corn?"
"Nothing, I'm thinking about the spell." Feiqi finally finished the starch vegetable soup, wiped his mouth, and returned the plate to Eddie. "The Great Prophecy Ritual is still four days away, and I'm finally out!"
"Yes, yes, it's definitely uncomfortable to stay in such a dark place. Lord Kipling doesn't let you go out in advance, and no one is allowed to come down to accompany you except when you eat. Don't mess with him after you go out. I didn't expect that the old man was quite fierce when he was angry!"
Feiqi rubbed the "lost and regained" thunder cross with his left hand and nodded vigorously. The power of the church is not only lies in the large number of pastors and paladins, but also in the hearts of everyone. Unlike the earth in his previous life, miracles are miracles. Here, gods, messengers and divine arts are daily things, and deviating from it is like deviating from common sense. A pastor throwing away the holy logo is more serious than he thought before, and he is gradually understanding it.
"Okay, it's dark and tide here, you'd better go up quickly. Don't forget to take this goat milk jar to prove that you've drunk it here, otherwise Scina will still fill you."
"Okay, take care of yourself. Don't worry about the convoy, magic potatoes and stonemasons, I will arrange it."
"Of course, I believe in your ability." Feiqi watched Eddie leave and then returned to the table. He used his mind to move objects to unfold the scroll, and then brought the paper, pen and rune manual.
In front of him was the explanation of the Great Prophecy Ritual of the Divine View, and the old man Kipling finally sent it over. Diderit came to attend the ceremony to prevent Feich from exposing his devil's identity and to cover up the fact that the old man lost his magic. This was the best solution. As an internal lord, Diderit did not need to show anything in the Great Prophecy Ritual of the Divine ritual, and she was completely stress-free. Therefore, the ritual description was simply to study the role of the magic rune array.
Divine View·Great Prophecy, this is a super-large magic technique. The instructions sent to each fortress are only part of the entire ritual. It is a pity to not see the complete ritual through the leopard, but from the existing information, you can still find some good new things.
The most important part of a super-large magic array is positioning and the other is connection. Only when these two can be met can each form an organic whole. The rune magic arrays learned by Feiqi were all magic arrays that operated separately, and there was no need for this aspect, so there was no corresponding design. Therefore, this was the first time he saw how the runes that were positioned and connected between magic arrays were applied.
This knowledge can be applied to magic.
If Feiqi's magic is derived from the magic runes, there is definitely no problem. The Goddess of Truth is the administrator of the entire Yongli Continent, and magic cannot bypass the world rules she set. Moreover, the Goddess's world rules are inherited from the Creator's original Lord, and Feiqi cannot and does not need to push them back. What he wants to bypass is the absolute requirement of spells for faith, emphasizing the direct interaction between the soul and the world, but it does not reject the soul's method of feedback to the world through faith, through the goddess. Whether it is divine magic or spell, as long as it can be used, it is enough.
"Ah? This rune combination used for locking is very interesting. The part that guides the energy of the magic magic must rely on it. Its problem is that it is too long and complicated, and it takes too much time to put it in the spell. Can it be shortened, even if the locking distance becomes shorter?" Feiqi thought for a while, if he used his spell rune programming method, he should try it.
The casters in this world focus on combat and like to release lightning. The speed of lightning is extremely fast, so the demand for locking and aiming is very low. Everyone can pursue power and casting speed. But in Feiqi's vision, spell locking should have many application requirements, especially in non-combat situations.
He was attracted by this idea and began to concentrate on calculations and deductions, and completed the simplification of the "locking spell" a week later. If he had not had this idea at that time and chose to continue looking back, it would be possible to discover the conflict between the great prophecy, the magic array of salvation, and the hidden rune array that destroyed the rebirth cult before the ceremony.
The document submitted by the Ice Peak Fortress and related to the Destruction and Rebirth Cult was far less important than the discussion of the Model Leader. Although it attracted attention, it only allowed the Paladins of the Sacred Heart to search and seize it, and the guards of the Sacred Body to check the magic circles themselves. It did not inform the priests who designed the God-Looking and Great Prophecy magic circles.
