Fishing Druid in Another World

When Priest Luo left Ande Town, he took Baron Ainom's uncle Gulao with him, and when he came back, he brought back another uncle Dimos.

Dimos is Nefeli's younger brother, who is only 17 years old this year. It is said that when he was in his teens, he came to Ainom Castle like the sons of several real knights, to receive education, training, and provide services such as waiters.

This custom is very common in the monarchy kingdom. Not only cultivate ability, but also cultivate feelings. The heirs are childhood friends, which is conducive to strengthening the internal relationship of the small group.

Although Priest Luo already has the new baron's enfeoffment certificate and appointment letter, the process has not been completed. Not only is it about solemn ceremonies and grand banquets and other celebrations, but also about registering with the Holy See and changing the emblem logo.

Whether it is real land or a noble enfeoffed by Baron Ainom, it must be reflected on the family emblem.

If this step is not implemented, the title is still empty.

Therefore, Demos endorsed Priest Luo on behalf of Baron Ainome so that he could smoothly take over the post of garrison in Ander Town.

Of course, with strong strength and cruel means, Priest Luo relied on his previous actions in Ander Town, and the people there dared not to cooperate.

But Priest Luo did not want to be a fool, and was willing to take this opportunity to help Baron Ainome enhance his prestige.

After all, a high-level wizard swore to become a vassal, was willing to accept the position arrangement of the lord, and cooperated with the inauguration process, which in itself was a statement.

Subtext: The high-level wizards all showed respect to Baron Ainome, what qualifications do you have to pretend to be arrogant and ask for money? Have you forgotten how to write the word death?

Makris, the commander of the cavalry stationed in Ander Town, and Anthony, the commander of the city guards, were still sensible, at least on the surface, there was nothing wrong with them.

Anthony also humbly admitted his dereliction of duty in public. But this is not enough. In order to clear the relationship with Gu Lao, the so-called traitor also provided several people, claiming that they were close to Gu Lao's faction and were bribed by him.

In fact, this is a scapegoat. The real backbone of Gu Lao's faction was escorted together when Priest Luo went to Ainomu Town before.

Now Anthony mentioned this matter in front of Demos, which obviously offended him. But Anthony probably understood the situation and felt that he needed to express his position.

After all, whether it was the internal and external night attack on Ande Town that had not yet completely passed, or Priest Luo's honorary appointment as garrison commander, or even Priest Luo's strength, he should stand on Priest Luo's side.

He was not afraid that the regent Nefili would take the opportunity to make things difficult for him. After all, his guilt was far less than Gu Lao. If he was severely punished, how should Gu Lao be punished? You can't be too partial to your relatives, otherwise people's hearts will be scattered, and how can you lead the team?

Priest Luo was also very good at dealing with people. He stated in public: "I am a mage. I am not good at military affairs. I also need to spend a lot of time exploring and researching extraordinary arts.

In the future, Anthony will take charge of the military affairs of Ande Town, especially daily affairs, and there is no need to ask for instructions."

Seeing this, Makris also hurried to show his goodwill.

In theory, the cavalry is directly under Baron Ainomu. On weekdays, they patrol the territory and are sent out to perform various tasks. The most common one is escort.

Like the succession of the new baron, as a part of the military noble group in the northern border, the personnel change of Lord Ainomu is still relatively important. There is a process to go through, including paying a considerable inheritance tax.

Specifically, it involves the feudal lord Grand Duke Malos and the Holy See, which requires a personal trip.

In this era, the kingdom is not peaceful either. Not to mention that there are really bandit problems, even if there are not, the guard force is insufficient, and it can suddenly "appear".

Therefore, the lords are more willing to invest in the cavalry, and the cavalry is basically assumed to be the strongest force in the hands of the lord.

The Enom Cavalry is indeed worthy of this evaluation.

The problem is that, because of this, Nefeli wants to hold this force in her own hands, specifically trying to let Dimos replace Makris.

The difficulty is that Dimos is young and inexperienced, and is not competent.

And the new baron grew up in an aristocratic family after all, and the education he received since childhood is different from that of ordinary people.

After his father died young, he chose to play the role of a good boy and formally took the title in his hands. Then he took the opportunity to surrender to Makris, saying that he would continue to rely on Makris as always, just like his father, and even his son.

Makris also responded that the cavalry was only loyal to the baron.

Therefore, the internal territory of the Enom Barony can be said to be open and secret struggles, and each has its own thoughts.

Until the priest Luo came down from the sky and broke the balance.

At this time, Makris no longer cared about fulfilling his oath of "being loyal only to the baron", he wanted to stand on the winning side.

To put it more bluntly, he bowed to the power, and it might be wrong to stand with Nefeli or the new baron, but if he stood with Priest Luo, he would most likely win, or even win by doing nothing.

Priest Luo was also very generous to those who knew the times. He said that the situation in the northern border was treacherous, and the night attack that happened not long ago was even more thrilling.

If Ande Town wanted to maintain long-term stability, it could not build a breakwater. As a garrison officer, he decided to use magic to build a mountain forest fort on the only main road leading to the outside world. In this way, the defense pressure of Ande Town will be greatly reduced.

And in this way, the cavalry team became an internal patrol.

You know, according to the torture and interrogation not long ago, the first goal of the gang in this night attack was to deal with the cavalry team.

The same team is an enemy. Without the cavalry team, they can come and go like the wind, appearing and disappearing mysteriously.

For this purpose, they even prepared a lot of explosive bombs for the barracks and stables.

Now that Priest Luo has proposed this plan, the cavalry team has become an internal patrol. At most, they can deal with individual scouts who come over the mountains and through the forests. The pressure of military affairs will naturally be greatly reduced, and they can have a leisurely training, personnel adjustments, etc., and save a lot of expenses. It is naturally a good thing.

Both sides are happy, and Priest Luo successfully took over the position of garrison officer.

He is a man of swift action and started his work immediately.

Let someone bring the head of the dead night attacker. Didn’t they ask for beheading before? Now it can be dealt with, stuff the crystal in the head, and then bury it in the soil.

Soon after, the stone golem was born.

It turns out that the value of the head lies in its brain structure, which is systematically used, saving the construction of complex magic models. After being elementalized by the crystal, it becomes one of the two cores of the stone golem. The other core is the power core, one in the chest and the other in the abdomen.

This makes the head look a bit weird, without a neck, like a deep pot with two holes on it for eyes.

This is the magic version of mechanical equipment, representing the advanced productivity of this era.

Priest Luo made more than 70 in one go, helping Ander Town to loosen a large area of ​​soil outside the town, and the stones were all taken away, leaving only soft soil.

There are more than 30 slightly injured ones left, including the so-called traitors bribed by Gu Lao who were offered by Anthony, a total of more than 50, all of which were parasitized by big bugs.

It can only be said that as a life mage, Priest Luo is definitely on the dark side, and even necromancers are ashamed of themselves in some aspects.

Combining the concept of genes and a little bit of the power of the laws of the biochemical avenue, it is not difficult to transform the magic brain worm through genetic mutation.

To put it bluntly, this is the high-tech magic version of the Plaka parasite (Resident Evil 4) in another world, and Priest Luo did not make it up out of thin air, but obtained it through the artificial mutation of the collected magic bugs and the rapid iteration promoted by extraordinary power.

With this group of people, the newly built mountain forest fortress will not only have coolies, but also guards.

The value of the fortress lies in the fact that a capable guard of more than a hundred people can resist an attack of a thousand people.

Of course, the ratio of nearly 10:1 is not always applicable.

If it is less than a hundred people, there are many defensive positions but insufficient personnel, and the value of the fortress cannot be fully utilized.

The same is true in reverse. Once the attacker exceeds the upper limit and exceeds the defense upper limit of the combination of man and fortress, the exchange ratio of 10 for 1 cannot be achieved.

In short, the fortress is still extremely valuable, and this world has evolved into a bastion, also known as a star fortress. The forefront of the northern border is all star fortresses. The key is not the height of the wall, but the lack of shooting blind spots and the low construction cost.

Pastor Luo did not plan to build a star fortress. He is a high-level earth shaman. The cost of building a castle is very tolerant and can give full play to his imagination.

Unfortunately, he is not a person who loves to show himself with his personality. The creations and styles he designed are conservative, and even unimaginative, but the use of terrain is very appropriate.

The newly built fortress is a horizontal ‘L’ shape.

The long one is a road-blocking wall, and the short one is built against the mountain. It is very steep. If someone tries to climb the wall with a ladder, they will be hit by artillery fire from the mountaintop fortress on the flank.

If you want to attack the fortress first, the three sides are steep, and the flat ground adds dozens of meters of height. The only gentle slope is connected to the front fortress by the city road, which is very difficult.

Moreover, this fortress is not a simple hollow structure, but a granite that has been melted into stone and is round. The materials interact with each other and evenly distribute the force. It is difficult for large catapults or solid bullet artillery to collapse it.

In addition, it is high above, so it can shoot farther, and large catapults are difficult to deploy in the narrow area between the mountains and the dense forests. If they bombard each other alone, the attacker will suffer a lot.

The mountain and forest fortress designed by Pastor Luo also opened the door on the side of the forest, not on the front of the road.

In fact, there is not even a proper city gate, but the city wall turns and is built for another section, presenting a pattern of ‘L’ stacked on ‘L’, with long handles stacked as barriers, and short walls of bunkers facing outward and turning inward.

Then a fence wall was built on the side close to the forest, and on the side close to the wall, barricades were set up and checkpoints were set up.

This is a variant of the city trap that seems to be able to rush through the checkpoint, but in fact, whoever rushes will die.

Because there is a track at the end of this checkpoint, when necessary, a section of mobile shooting tower like a train carriage can be pushed out to block the road.

As for the dense forest on the side.

Pastor Luo is a life mage, so maybe he doesn’t arrange some means in the dense forest?

Not to mention that the leaves of the primitive forest are dense and dark, and the branches are growing horizontally, it is not easy to walk. Even if you can walk, there are many tricks under the thick ground cover.

Moreover, the interior of the primeval forest is hard to see sunlight all year round, and it is humid and watery, making it difficult to ignite. The air circulation is poor, and bacteria and microorganisms are active. Although it is not as poisonous as the miasma in the subtropical or even tropical jungles, it is not easy to deal with.

It can be said that if the primeval forest is so easy to cross, why would it become a natural barrier to block the direct southward movement of the northern barbarians?

No one is stupid. The northern barbarians who have always been fierce and reckless would rather bypass than break through, which is very telling.

The stone golems carried large stones, the parasites piled up earth to form walls, and the priest Luo turned mud into stone, and then turned sandstone into granite. The total length of the barrier was more than 300 meters, plus a large bunker, and the city was built in less than 72 hours.

The rest was even simpler. The felled and trimmed long wood was still used as a mold, and the inside was filled with sand and soil to be compacted. After the mud was turned into stone, the mold was removed.

But this time, it was not like building a wall that could hold artillery and pass people. This time, it was just a load-bearing wall, which was much thinner.

With this wall, it was used as a gable, and the city buildings were built like a vegetable greenhouse.

The top was built with a slope. In the winter in the north, the snow would collapse the roof, so it would not be a flat roof, but a sloping roof.

This kind of building was a barracks, which could be paved inside or partitioned. It faced north and south and had a built-in kang, which was very comfortable to live in.

In just one week, the main project of the 300-man barracks was completed.

Pastor Luo even had time to organize people to level tens of thousands of square meters of land and lay stone slabs.

Two wells were dug, and a three-meter-wide and deep spear trench was dug on the front of the wall, and greening was transplanted in many places.

At first glance, it is hard to believe that this place was an ordinary mountain forest horse trail ten days ago, and the existence of the barrier is not eye-catching, as if it has existed for several years and has a sense of integration with the surrounding environment.

Candice, the second son of Grand Duke Malos, couldn't help asking the accompanying guide: "This mountain forest barrier was built when Yannis was alive?"

Yannis is the name of the previous Baron Enom. Except for a few people who are familiar with him, few people will call him by his name.

"Reporting to Your Highness, I went to Ander Town at the beginning of the year, and there was no barrier at that time."

Yoani, the representative of the Order Spire, interrupted: "I can still detect the lingering power of the earth element dissipating from this barrier. It should have been built in the past few days."

Candice snorted and said sourly: "Enom's strong help came at the right time."

Soon, everyone had the same feeling, because they saw the parasites who changed their duties to guards, and the stone golems.

Compared to the crude and simple appearance when it was first born, the stone golems that have become war machines now are completely different in appearance.

The artificially synthesized stone contains a high proportion of metal and can be said to be a ceramic alloy.

The surface is not shiny, but it is thick and dense.

The key is that the humanoid golems made of this material look powerful and indestructible, full of oppression, and people are instinctively afraid.

The parasites are also muscular, with wooden expressions, cold eyes, and iron-blooded. The armor they wear seems to be made of the same material as the stone golems. It has strong protection but is also very heavy. However, the parasites wear it with the effect of paper, which can be said to be light.

Magic (barrier), magic (golem), or magic (soldier). With Candice's wide knowledge and Yoani's rich experience, they can naturally see that these few thirty golems and dozens of heavy infantry are enough to resist the attack of a regular thousand-man war group.

This is a very terrifying magical force, and it was only created by the high-level wizard who suddenly appeared in a few days.

After reporting their names, it was not Priest Luo who came out to greet them, but Knight Selis.

Selis had been in charge of the mining village, which was the gold mine that the previous Baron Enom discovered and secretly dug for more than two years before the information was leaked.

But it is now taken over by Priest Luo.

Behind this is a new round of PY transactions.

First of all, the new baron Yiannopoulos was unwilling to endure it.

Pros means "son of", so the name of the new baron is the son of Yiannis, which is not creative, but very common in this country.

Originally, Yiannopoulos had to endure it even if he didn't want to, and watched the maternal lineage fleece Enom like crazy. But the appearance of Priest Luo brought changes.

Gulao lost control of Ander Town, and the guards and cavalry stood on the side of Priest Luo.

And priest Luo built a mountain barrier, making the cavalry an inner patrol, which greatly alleviated the possibility of the Ainom territory being breached by the outside.

Throughout the process, people appreciated the power of priest Luo.

At the same time, Yiannopoulos also realized that the contract signed by priest Luo and him was not a sham, because there was no need for it.

With priest Luo's strength and ability, most nobles were willing to prepare a stepping stone for him to keep a favor as the family's trump card.

So, it was not that priest Luo coveted Ainom, but that Ainom met priest Luo, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Almost from any angle, it was like this.

Then, if you can't take advantage of this opportunity to get as much benefit as possible, then the advantage of being in charge will be wasted.

Yiannopoulos couldn't sort out this reason very well, but he instinctively knew that this was an opportunity to take back power and prevent his maternal family from fleecing.

So he used the authority of the feudal lord to summon priest Luo.

He said that he had seen Priest Luo build the mountain barrier, and he wanted to do business with Priest Luo, that is, to quickly mine the gold mine.

For this, he was willing to pay a considerable amount of money.

In addition, he wanted to buy two war stone statues and a small team of ten heavily armed guards from Priest Luo.

Obviously, the hidden intention behind this was that he didn't want Nepheli to spend his money slowly.

The gold mine was completely mined, stored, and guarded by war stone statues.

And Yiannopoulos' own safety was the responsibility of the heavily armed guards.

This was equivalent to handing his life and property to Priest Luo.

It seemed that he was not reliable.

But when it was confirmed that Priest Luo was a great god, and that a small temple like Enom could not accommodate him, Priest Luo was the most reliable.

It is not worth it to label yourself as a regicide for a little wealth and land.

In fact, once you are deeply involved, you should do your best to maintain it to avoid being smeared.

In other words, the reputation of the powerful is far more valuable than the overall value of Enom Territory.

To put it bluntly, the cost of building a wizard tower for a high-level wizard is enough to go to the fertile land of the kingdom and buy twice the land of Enom Territory.

So do high-level wizards have to build wizard towers?

Almost inevitable.

If you want to go further, want to study the laws, want to do various magic experiments, how can you do without your own wizard tower?

Moreover, Yiannopoulos asked Priest Luo to go to the mining village for another reason, that is, there is actually a small path leading to the outside world there.

How was the gold mine discovered? It was not that the lord slapped his head and thought that there might be a mine in my territory, so he asked the explorers to find it.

Instead, he was the person in charge of exploration, surveying the topography of Enom Territory. Since many professions in this era were not refined, the explorers had a certain understanding of minerals and discovered the gold mine.

And Yannis asked people to survey the topography because bandits entered the territory and they could never catch them. There were even horses.

Horses were the main means of transportation in this era and were very sensitive. The road that horses could walk on was called the road. Because horses could walk, the efficiency of transportation was greatly enhanced.

So this was not a goat path, but the kind of channel that mountain caravans used to transport goods.

This was also the reason why Yannis arranged a knight to guard it.

After hearing this, Priest Luo said, "How about this, my fiefdom will not occupy the fertile land that Enom has developed, and it will be exchanged for the mining village.

I will dig it out, and you send people to inspect it. After that, I will use the mines there, etc.

At the same time, I will build another barrier somewhere on that hidden horse trail. This time it will be secret, as a retreat for Enom.

Most of these will be returned to Enom in a few years. After all, I came here to temporarily settle down and accumulate some tangible and intangible assets."

Yannopoulos believed what Priest Luo said.

He was also assisted by loyal people around him, that is, the butler, including the foreign affairs butler who was in charge of Ande Town, who was only loyal to Baron Enom. This is the professional ethics of the butler, the foundation of himself and his family. If his reputation is bad, he will be completely finished.

The butler is not good at fighting, but he is very good at calculating economic accounts. The secret report from the foreign affairs steward included the content about the mage who was defeated by Priest Luo and detained in the prison of Ander Town.

A mage from the Order Spire participated in the night attack. There was a lot of water behind it. As a baron, it was inconvenient to dig into it, but the amount of money that the mage needed to redeem himself could be roughly estimated.

It was precisely because of this that Yiannopoulos became more and more convinced that Priest Luo did not care about the trivial things represented by Enom.
