Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 468
Although the Temple of Wisdom can rely on the sale of spell scrolls and healing spells to make profits.

But Martha is just a new god after all, without any background.

In order to attract believers and increase his divine power, most of the expenses of the temple will be offset by the contribution of faith, which means that it is impossible to make any profit at all.

It is obviously impossible for all territories to spare no effort to support.

After all, everyone has their own little calculations, and even he himself can't spend all the resources of the Emerald Tower on building the temple.

Taking a step back, even with full support, it would take at least a few decades to complete with the current abilities and power of their players.

Therefore, Thorne didn't want to mention this matter at first, because he was actually not worried about the development of the temple at all.

He knew one thing very well in his heart, when the new god Martha's divine kingdom was completely stabilized, he would definitely attach importance to the Emerald Field.

However, seeing the hesitation of the two towns, he knew what problems they were facing.

So Thorne had a flash of inspiration and thought of a pretty good way to deal with it.

"You mean, the main reason why the construction has not started is because of lack of money." Sarajan looked at Thorne.

As soon as the lord of Twilight Town finished speaking, the faces of the lords of the other towns were more or less ugly.

Issues related to their own interests, no one will foolishly give in.

What's more, everyone, including Thorne, will pay a lot of money to the Temple of Wisdom every month. If the fee continues to rise, no one will be happy.

That's the real reason why Thorne never mentioned it.

"This is only one of the reasons." Thorne replied calmly: "The main reason why I suddenly brought up this matter is to tell you about my proposal."

Everyone looked at the ranger curiously.

Most people realize that Thorne has already said more in the conference room today than all the words in recent years combined.

He was too active today, so active that people faintly began to worry.

"I think we can build an energy pool in the Temple of Wisdom, and then place eyes of insight in various positions in the fortress." Thorn finished speaking, sat down on the chair again, and was too lazy to explain too much, let them figure it out by themselves Just make it up.

Eye of Insight!

When Thorne mentioned this familiar word, the gleaming insight device at the top of the Emerald Tower first appeared in everyone's mind.

It is the existence of the eye of insight that enables Pushang Town to predict the enemy's movements and true intentions in advance almost every time, and prepare the most perfect response.

Pushang Town with the eye of insight is equivalent to having a 360-degree camera with no dead angle, and this camera can observe the scene within a radius of [-] kilometers at the farthest.

Except that this kind of reconnaissance device cannot penetrate solid obstacles, hallucinations, darkness, and fog cannot stop its peeping.

If the Fortress Fortress has the Eye of Insight, its role can definitely be maximized, and its strategic significance is also very important.

"I agree with this proposal." Avatar who took the lead in thinking clearly agreed immediately.

As long as the Fortress Fortress has this miraculous eye, it will be able to detect all the small-scale tribes trying to sneak across the mountains.

At that time, the Golden Thorn Rose Knights will be dispatched to eliminate them, and the hidden dangers in their town will naturally be eliminated.

"I also agree." The lord of Iron Horse Town saw that his allies on the same front had turned against each other, so he made a wise choice.

Others agreed.

"Since everyone has no opinions, the matter is finalized." Seeing that everyone agreed with his proposal, Thorne was not surprised.

Then, he pondered for a while, raised his head and said: "As for the specific cost, how much each of us needs to share, I will inform you immediately when I return to Pushang Town to make a clear calculation."

As soon as money was mentioned, everyone's faces became a little ugly.

However, when he thought of the convenience brought to the fort by the Eye of Insight, he endured it.

After all, Thorne three years ago could afford the cost alone.

At this time, the six towns are raising funds together, so it's unlikely that they can't even come up with this little money.

"Now that the first proposal has been resolved, let's discuss the second question." Sarajan tapped the hammer lightly to stop the buzzing sound, then cleared his throat and sat up straight body:

"I think everyone should be very clear that as our reputation has been established, many compatriots from all over the world have gathered here. For us, this is undoubtedly something worth celebrating.

But the problem also followed, that is, the living area began to become gradually tense.Among our six small towns, except Stallman Town and Horn Town, which are relatively special and absorb the least population, our other four small towns can only accommodate more than 4 people.

Therefore, for the sake of our future, I propose to you here that it is time to jointly build a large city that can accommodate several 10 people. "

"Our town of Stallman won't participate, I think it's good." Avatar was the first to speak again, but his expression showed more helplessness.

This was something he had been thinking about since entering the meeting room, and it was the result of reaching an agreement with Ishak.

Building a city consumes too much resources. As the poorest of the six towns, he thinks it's better not to participate.

Moreover, even if the city is built, it will not bring much benefit to the tiefling race.

Although he really wanted to fight for an exclusive residential area for the tiefling race in the built big city, so that they could live in harmony with other races, but the cruel reality forced him to give up this option.

"It's understandable, but what about Bugle Town?" Sarayang nodded slightly, obviously expecting that the other party would not agree, and then turned his attention to the second uncertain factor.

"We..." The Tiger Ranger, who had been looking out the window from the beginning to the end, turned his head. He obviously hesitated for a moment, and finally looked at Thorne who was sitting diagonally across from him amidst the crazy hint of the war troll.

When he noticed that the ranger nodded slightly to him, Seru's expression was inexplicably relieved, and he immediately replied: "I agree with this proposal."

"Very well, since we have five towns to agree on, let's decide now where to build a city is most suitable."

Sarayan glanced at Thorn unexpectedly, suppressed his doubts, took out a large map that had been prepared for a long time, spread it on the table, and signaled everyone to look at it.

"Carlos, what do you think?" Sarayan took the lead in seeking the opinion of Fallstown.

"I've thought about it a long time ago." Carlos chuckled, and immediately reached out and pointed in the direction of the Forest of Tranquility:

"It is adjacent to Tranquil Forest in the north, Shadowmoon Valley in the south, and Shadowmoon Sea in the east. If you want to build a port city with convenient transportation, I think this is the most suitable place. It is across the sea from Seput City. Looking at it, it is also more convenient to go to the Northland Wilderness and Silverpine Plain by boat."

"I don't think so." Sarayan retorted:
"I have considered the location you mentioned, but there are too many forests and the terrain is not flat. If you force the city to be built here, you must use the power of magic to burn the forest and wasteland. This will definitely welcome the Druids of the Emerald Garden. You Don't forget, Shadowmoon Valley to the south is where the druids live.

Therefore, it is the safest way to build the city along the coast of the Sea of ​​Glory.The terrain here is flat, mostly wasteland, and there is no need to worry about druids making trouble.Most importantly, it is extremely convenient for us to travel to the Southern Kingdom.”

People in Yuanshan Town and Tiema Town echoed.

Thorne, who saw it in his eyes, naturally understood that the people in these three towns might have discussed it long ago.

"The sahuagins in the Sea of ​​Glory are very rampant, and the route to the southern kingdom has long been interrupted. Besides, the southern kingdom has too many wars, and it cannot be compared with the northern wilderness and the middle of the mainland." Carlos retorted again Road, and kept giving Thorne a look.

However, at this moment, Thorne ignored his crazy gestures at all, and instead looked at the map and became meditative.

This made him roll his eyes in frustration.

"The Black Pearl Forest already has a small city belonging to our compatriots, which means that it is difficult for us to absorb people from there. It would be better to focus on the Southern Kingdom." Sarayan retorted without retreating.

"Don't mention the small town in the Black Pearl Forest. I visited it once a year ago. I can tell you with certainty that that small town will definitely compromise and bow to the Huskan Kingdom in the end. Otherwise, only It will be perish. After all, the land they occupied was not obtained for nothing." Carlos' tone did not mean to show weakness.

"Then how do you deal with the Druids in the Emerald Garden? Although these are unclaimed lands, do you think so confidently that the Druids will let us open up wasteland?"

"I've thought about this a long time ago. I will try to persuade those druids, so I won't worry about you."

……

In the lively conference room, within a short time, it became a debate between Sarajan and Carlos, arguing endlessly without giving in to each other.

However, a convincing result has not been reached for both parties.

At this time, Thorne, who was looking at the map in thought, flashed his eyes, then raised his head and forcibly stopped the two of them talking, pointing at the Nuoxier Plain and said:

"Why do you have to build a city by the sea? I think this place is good. It's right in the center of the whole wilderness, and you can take care of everything."

When everyone heard the words, they looked at the place Thorne pointed at, and immediately realized that the location he was pointing at was the Norhill Plain in Stallman Town.

So he looked at Avatar and Ishak, who were a little confused, with strange expressions.

"Your Excellency Thorne, what do you mean to say that we plan to build a city on the territory of our Stallman Town?" Avatar looked at the ranger with a calm expression in disbelief and asked.

"Is there any problem? I think this place is very suitable." Thorne smiled slightly and asked back.

"But... this is...." Avatar looked at him a little speechlessly, and his words became a little incoherent.

He wanted to continue talking, but was interrupted by Ishak's eyes.

"I know, this is your territory in Stallman Town." Thorn explained to him with a smile:
"What you are pursuing in Stallman Town is nothing more than a stable and peaceful life. At that time, when the city is built, it will be good to designate an area exclusively for tiefling life in the marginal area for you. Is the security of the city Is it better than a small town surrounded by logs?"

"Having said that, you should also be clear that we can't afford the huge cost of building the city." Hearing Thorne's story, Avatar was a little moved, but when he thought about the resources that would be consumed, he couldn't help but worry.

"The scale of the city we built almost occupies the entire Norhill Plain. Since this territory belongs to you, it will naturally give you some compensation." Thorne stopped Sarayan and Carlos from speaking, and continued.

"In that case, it's not impossible." Avatar and Ishaq looked at each other, their expressions relaxed.

It would be great if a well-defended and prosperous city could really carve out an area exclusively for the Tiefling race.

Although tieflings are a race rejected by the world, if there are people who are willing to accept them sincerely, who would like to hide in a corner where no one cares about them.

What fascinates Avatar the most is that in a bustling city with city walls and sanitation, if all the tieflings live in it, it will be easier for him to manage and guide them to be kind and yearn for the sun, so that these groups with dark hearts will gradually become cheerful.

Just like what the long-disappeared Night Lord said: She wants the world to understand that even if the bloodline of the Tiefling race is polluted, it does not mean that the soul will follow suit.

"Okay, you two can talk." Seeing the figured-out Avatar, Thorn looked at the impatient two lords.

"Then let me just say it straight, even though the location you chose is in the center of the Emerald Field, it can almost reflect every small town and Fortress Fortress." Carlos took a step forward and said:

"But the purpose of our city building is to absorb the population and turn it into a big city with prosperous transportation and convenient transportation. This location obviously cannot meet this requirement."

"Do you have anything else to add?" Thorne looked at Sarayan after listening.

"Whether in the short term or in the long term, this position is not suitable." Sarayan pointed to the center of the wilderness:

"Actually, if you look at it from the world map, our wilderness is not a big territory, the most important thing is that it is still on a peninsula surrounded by sea on three sides.

If we don't build cities along the coast and have no convenient transportation, our development and expansion will be very slow.

In the past three years, you have also seen that our caravan traveling the entire wilderness has come out step by step by carriage.What we need most now is a port city with convenient transportation extending in all directions. "

"What you said is very reasonable, but the coastal city also has a major disadvantage, that is, it is very far away from the Fortress of Fort Watch." Thorne nodded slightly, and he naturally understood the meaning of the two people's words.

However, he still insisted on his choice. He pointed to the center of the map: "What you think of is convenient transportation. When I chose this location, I also took this issue into consideration."

"What do you mean?" Sarayan and Carlos were puzzled at the same time.

No matter from which point of view, this city in the center of the wilderness is not as convenient as the port city, which is beyond doubt.

"Putting the city at the very center of the wilderness, can't we build other convenient arteries around it?"

Seeing the two people who hadn't understood yet, Thorne reminded Carlos a little helplessly: "Did you forget what your red dragon brother Argotus is researching recently?"

"The simplified version of the mana power device is said to be an alien version of the construction train." Carlos said subconsciously.

Immediately afterwards, he immediately came to his senses: "You mean to build a city here, build train tracks around it, and then build a simple port by the sea."

"That's probably what it means. You need to make detailed plans on how to implement it." Thorne nodded slightly.

This idea is also his temporary idea. If it is really successful, it will definitely bring about huge changes to the entire wilderness.

Moreover, the kinetic energy source of this alien version of the train equipped with the mana power device needs the energy of the element pool, just like constructing a golem.

It just so happened that they were going to build a new energy pool in the Fortress Fortress, and it would naturally become a charging station for constructing trains.
