Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 631 The materials for building the port seem to frighten people

Many people don't quite understand Hill's guard against Baal's treasure.

But smart people know that no matter how rich a person is, if there is no danger, he will never give up the fat at hand.

This requires everyone to choose between reason and greed.

Hill found a few grocery stores that directly cleared the goods he brought to Hill, big businessmen who took people to stay in hotels, and even sent people to pick up his family members in Waterdeep City.

In Toril, the status of merchants is indeed quite high, but they can only live in the same place with their own kind. If you want to live in the same place with nobles and those high-level professionals, it is not something you can do with money. .

A businessman who usually calls the wind and calls the rain, when a disaster is imminent, often does not save one out of ten.

Especially for this kind of disaster related to wealth, they are the hardest hit area.

But most merchants still can't make such a decisive decision. Once they give up this trade route, it will be too difficult to find it again.

Starting from scratch is never as easy as it sounds.

Bowling, lingering and even despicableness is the only way for most businessmen, and many people absolutely don't want to walk this way again.

Hill stood on the terrace, looking at the various life styles, and just told the few dragonmen who came to Hill to wait for the silver moon dragon queen, it is best to go back and close the border. If there is any shopping demand during this period, it is best to only Come to Hill or trade with other continents.

These dragon people who have followed the golden and silver dragons for many years are not stupid, they can also control the pursuit of wealth in their blood, and soon understood why Hill got the Dragon Queen's family into the maze.

The dragon people soon decided to go back and close the borders of the Northland, rejecting all foreign guests.

After a few days of chaos, the small town of Aglaia slowly got on the right track. Residents who wanted to stay followed Hill's will and dared not touch those gold, silver and jewels at all, even if they watched passers-by Picked up a huge gem from the coast.

The same goes for Tyre's believers, although they are a bit reluctant, but they are absolutely unwilling to leave the Silver Shield Knights, and most of them are still sensible, and they definitely don't want to let Tyre stand in front of another god because of their greed. shame.

However, some residents who have just settled down still cannot bear their desire for gold, silver and jewelry.

As long as they take these treasures to Waterdeep City, they can buy a large enough property in those safe enough alleys.

They still prefer Waterdeep City, the "City of Glory" that claims to never fall, but they could only live in the slums before, which is not safe now.

The merchants who stayed in the Hill Hotel were completely ignored. You know, how these merchants lived in much better places than they could buy.

However, people can always find excuses for their greed.

Hill can understand that he won't keep anyone.

In the end, these people were only added to the blacklist where they were not allowed to move in again, and the news was released that their town would no longer accept settlement requests from outsiders.

The residential area of ​​the small town of Aglea will not expand any more.

Lynn has already come, and Hill doesn't need to add trouble to himself.

After everything quieted down, Hill appeared in front of people again.

In the northwest corner of the town, on the beach behind the Harper's station, he built a port that could accommodate twenty giant ships.

Of course, he didn't do anything himself during the basic construction, but invited the God of Earth Element, Grumba, who was still pretending to be the lord of the Earth Element.

Hill has long discovered that in the labyrinth, giant dragons run on it, and these huge earth elementals are dangling below.

Hill's labyrinth is not only on the ground, but also 30 meters deep underground. It was originally designed to prevent those who were locked in from digging tunnels, but it did not expect to become a playground for the earth elementals.

Gu Lanba, who knew that he had been exposed long ago, worked very hard, leading his men to build the port wide and strong.

It is impossible for the best port in the Northland to be so strong, it is almost a natural port that grows directly on the leylines.

Then they ran back to the maze and continued playing.

The rest is easy, and this modification doesn't require any thought from Hilfe.

He first added a special anti-slip, anti-moth, and most importantly, anti-freeze metal coating on the rough stone pier. If the wind and snow in the Northland were not protected, any solid stone would be ruined.

It is also impossible for Hill to convert the entire port into obsidian, he still has this point.

In the end, Hill used some modified endless vines as a buffer zone, allowing giant ships of any level to dock without any damage.

Endless Vine is a bright green leafless plant consisting of numerous tangled thin stems and blue flowers with a radius of 1.3 cm.These flowers are responsible for the vine's nutrient intake, they absorb water and atmosphere from the air and use photosynthesis to create nutrients at breakneck speed.

Under the right conditions, the plant grows at a rate of 0.28 cubic meters per minute and then covers all surfaces in a 3-meter-deep tangle of plant matter.

These vines can only grow on the sea surface of the port, once they enter the water, they will stop growing, and they will absolutely not affect the creatures on the seabed.

It's just that they couldn't survive in the atmosphere, but Hill used the fan lock to bypass this limitation.

However, the well-informed harp players seemed to be quite frightened by these endless vines, and they were blown up when they discovered that they were growing rapidly.

These vines that grow by absorbing magic and sunlight can indeed easily kill a magic ship, but Hill doesn't think they are scary at all.

They just grow on their own and have no intention of actively hurting others. They are port buffer sponge belts that do not need maintenance at all.

Endless vines are immune to poison and are not affected by negative energy, but are more sensitive to fire, acid, and electrodes, and low temperatures may also slow its growth rate.

However, any effects of the plant spell that prevent or destroy it are limited to the damaged area, and the unaffected parts continue to grow normally.

The most important thing is that even if they are set on fire, they will not die completely, and they can continue to grow with a little water.

What a great cushioning material!

And they are all cute little ones that will never harm living people, and the leaves and flowers are also ingredients.

It's just that most people can't control their growth rate, so there's nothing to worry about, Hill is a natural mage~
He can guarantee that these vines will never invade any magic ship.

The Harpers are a little overly worried, don't they also have elves?Don't you understand the ability of natural warlocks or mages to control plants?
And for these vines, living in Hill's territory is much more comfortable than those broken ships, and they still have to worry about who wants to steal them away!

Hill's doubts were met with merciless ridicule by Lynn.

If ordinary natural mages could really achieve Hill's level, they would have already become the most powerful existence in the world of Toril.

If these endless vines were really that easy to control, there wouldn't be so many fallen magic ships.

The branch leader of the Harper visited Hill almost the next day, and he wanted to make sure that these vines would not appear in other places.

The only way for a magic ship to get rid of these vines is to land on a planet with an atmosphere and let them wither in a large amount of air.

If Hill's kind spreads out, the captains of the magic ship will have to go to Aglaia to commit suicide in front of Hill.

Hill didn't expect his whim to scare so many people.

I can only guarantee repeatedly: The reason why these endless vines can survive in the air is because of Hill's Water Mystery, and they will wither automatically when they leave the range of the Mystery.

Even though two months have passed, Hill still has lingering fears when he thinks back: If the plague had not broken out in both Neverwinter and Waterdeep, how many people would have troubled him because of these endless vines.

Autumn in the North has arrived, and when the leaves are falling, the family of three squatting in the maze finally found the exit.

In fact, they had already discovered several ways to leave the maze, but the adamantine captivated the eyes of the three dragons, they turned a blind eye to the walls that could be opened, and would choose to take a detour the next time they passed by.

Also, there are some other gold, silver, and bronze dragons in the labyrinth.

Hill felt that Bahamut must have struggled a lot to control the urge to come over and beat him up.

The giant dragons he sent to fetch the dragon eggs refused to leave once they came.

Fortunately, it takes 5 months for these dragon eggs to hatch most easily.

When the Nine-faced Dragon God Aiou created these dragon eggs, he was a bit too arbitrary. He could only see the luck of these dragon eggs. Some unlucky ghosts had to stay in their eggs for a few years.

Anyway, except for the first month, he sent these metal dragons who got into the maze without looking back, and the dragonborn created by Bahamut came later.

Although these tall and handsome warriors behaved politely, they still confided a bit of Bahamut's complaints.

This is all because he withdrew from the forward position after dealing with the five-color dragons. Of these winged dragon descendants, only the particularly powerful ones can fly, and the low-level ones can only glide and cannot transport dragon eggs.

However, there was still a paladin dragonborn who specifically inquired about the production method of the labyrinth array. Bahamut hoped to trap these little dragons in the same way in his own kingdom of the north wind before they grow up.

This is really effective against dragons, big and small.

Hill sent away the magic circle very simply, and these were never things that needed to be kept secret.

The power of his labyrinth lies in the elements of the magic circle: the big tree.

And even if Bahamut learned it, what he used to build the maze would not be trees, but something that dragons were good at.

The extreme winter was approaching, and after Hill stopped putting treasures in the maze, the metal dragons left happily.

Although there will be no more thunder in the Northland, thunder and rain will continue in other places.

They still have somewhere to go before the year is over.
