Carter immediately stretched out his hand to hold Qi Nilong's big hand, and kept nodding in agreement.
"Well, without further ado, I want to start working as soon as possible, are you free?"
"Okay! But let's have breakfast first. I don't think you have eaten this point. If you don't mind, let me make it for a while?"
Zinyon nodded.
Carter is happy to see the changes in the nobleman in front of him, but he is also surprised by his huge transformation, the difference between before and after is a bit too big.
However, Carter didn't dwell on this for too long, and immediately ran to cook. A little guilty, he planned to soothe Ziniron's obviously frightened heart with delicious food.
Even if he was staying in the camp, he insisted on holding the shield, as if a demon would appear in the next second, so that he could react in time to kill the evil.
Chapter 83
When following Ziniron's footsteps into the armory in the town of 'Estari', Carter felt a burst of shabby taste.
Long hair, shields and arrows are enough, but most of the most critical armor is just leather armor, and the serious scale armor has already been worn on the body of the city defense army.
Seeing this scene made Carter regret that he hadn't caught the quartermaster of the Eagle Legion and plucked the wool fiercely. Now it's all right, and there is nothing left.
"In the warehouse, we currently have 520 five well-made spears, 350 kite shields, 120 450-pound longbows, 120 heavy hunting arrows, [-] armor-piercing arrows, [-] sets of leather armor, and [-] scale armor. set……"
After taking the list from Zinilong, Carter showed a helpless smile.
The number of bows and arrows is as good as ever, but the number of other equipment is a bit pitiful.
"These are slowly accumulated over hundreds of years, but they are regularly hired for maintenance every month, so there is no need to worry about quality problems."
Zi Nilong had a normal face and didn't find anything unreasonable.
And it looked like the only plate armor in town was the one he was wearing.
"Well, the special lack of equipment will be applied to 'Tal-Drowder' at that time, the most urgent thing is to pull up the framework of the troops first
My goal this time is to recruit a hundred professional soldiers who have served for ten years. Does Mr. Ziniron have any good suggestions for this? "
"Well, if you want to..."
..........................................
Under the narration of Zi Nilong, Carter gradually understood the general situation of the town of 'Estari' and the four surrounding villages.
The registered population is 340, of which more than 900 have long lived in 'Estari' Island, and the others are evenly distributed in four villages within [-] kilometers around.
As a longevity species, although 340 people doesn't sound like a lot, they are all high-quality people. Even the village elders who have lived for thousands of years are ruthless characters who take up arms and go to the battlefield. You can't tell just by looking at them How old is an elf?
They are just like the 'Saiyans', only when their lifespan is about to end will they experience rapid aging, and so far there are not many elves who have been lucky enough to live to the end of their lives.
Although the sparrow town of 'Estari' is small, it has everything you need, from a natural harbor that can accommodate medium-sized ships to a blacksmith shop that can manufacture equipment. Common hematite veins, this solves the iron problem of 'Estari' and does not need to be imported from the outside world.
However, due to level and cost issues, the efficiency of this small blacksmith shop is not high, and the quality is far inferior to the various weapons produced by the Vaal blacksmiths in the 'Caledo Volcano', which have only reached the level of self-produced and sold.
After preparing all the necessary equipment, Carter hired people to expand the barracks with the help of the noble lord Ziniron.
The original small camp of ten people was put away, and instead began to build a formal military camp that can meet the needs of at least 200 people. At the request of Zinilong, the military camp was built near the entrance and exit of 'Estaria' to act as a checkpoint.
"That's not the case! The foundation must be laid first, otherwise it will easily collapse!"
"No, no, this has to be like this!"
The barracks built according to the standards of the Eagle Legion had very high requirements. Even with the command of a few members of the '21st Regiment', the townspeople who had no experience in this area still made frequent mistakes.
The hustle and bustle lasted only one day, and the men hired from the town stopped coming.
This made Carter very puzzled. After arranging the work of Legolas, Astolfo and others, he went directly to Ziniron to inquire about the situation.
When he heard the question from Carter sitting in front of him, Ziniron was stunned for a moment, and then said strangely:
"Uh... Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve. In the past two days, everyone will be preparing to celebrate the New Year, so it's normal not to come out to work..."
After listening to Zinilong's explanation, Carter remembered the coming New Year like a dream. Carter, who has been busy since time travel, forgot about it.
"Ah, yes... I forgot, it will be a new year soon."
"Although I also feel that I need to start working as soon as possible, but this time is too unfortunate. I can only continue after the New Year. How about getting familiar with the situation in the town in these two days? In fact, there are still many interesting places Yes, haven’t you been to the port below?”
"Well, I haven't had time to go yet."
"Recently it's the off-season, so I can't feel it, but in fact, in spring and summer, various merchant ships and expeditions often pass by, and it's very lively at that time! Haha."
"That's right, but I'm curious about how the port was built..."
A little embarrassed, Carter immediately followed Ziniron's words to chat.
"Well, I still have something to do, let my daughter take you for a stroll! Stella has lived in 'Estari' since she was a child. Everything here is familiar!"
"This is too troublesome..."
"No, no! Staying at home all day, I'm afraid that the child will get sick. You wait here for a while and I'll be right back."
…………
"Awaited…"
Carter, who was sitting on the first floor, waited long for Stella, who was wearing a men's suit.
Against the background of this set of tights, her height of 1.7 meters [-] is well set off. Her long silver hair is caught by a simple clip, revealing a delicate and beautiful face. The most attractive thing is her ruby-like face double pupil.
"plz follow me."
There is no expression on her plain face, but it unexpectedly gave her a special temperament. Stella is quite popular among the unmarried young people in 'Estari', but so far this The female elf in her 40s has never been reported to have had a relationship with anyone.
It is not common in the society of elves, but it seems that this 'girl' has a different idea from normal elves.
"My father asked me to take you to take a closer look at 'Estari'. I suggest starting from the temple of the priest Marselan. It is the closest and the most sacred place in this town."
"Okay, I have no problem."
Under the leadership of this three-none girl, Carter walked around from the temple of Marselan at the highest point to the harbor at the bottom.
I have to say that it is indeed Usuan. After careful observation, the natural terrain of 'Estari' is simply too superior, and it can be called a paradise.
'Estari' lives on the top of this island, and there is a naturally formed cave below, which is a natural deep-water port. Although the size is not very large, it can only stop a dozen medium-sized ships at most. But it can still be regarded as a strategic location. The most important thing is that starting from here to the New World is the best route. Explorers from all over Ulthuan will complete their last supply in 'Estari', and then Embark on an adventure to a new world, which also brings a thriving economy to the town.
It's just that winter is not the best season to go to sea, so there are no outsiders except the 'No.20 First Company' brought by Carter.
In addition, the residents of 'Estaria' under the leadership of the Twilight family dug an artificial source, which can store the fresh water imported from the outside. Even if the water supply channel is suddenly cut off, it can be guaranteed that it will not be used for at least half a year. Worried about water issues.
"It's really a paradise..."
After walking along the plank road to the harbor at the bottom, Carter squinted and said while enjoying the sea-smelling breeze.
"Really? I think the people here have been completely imprisoned, and the life that can be seen from birth to death at a glance...is so boring, without ideals, without change..."
Hearing Carter's words, the silver-haired elf, who only spoke a few words at a time, seldom spoke a complete sentence.
"...I have heard people say that I would rather be a dog in peacetime than an elf in wartime..."
"It's not bad to spend a bland life like this..."
Carter, who knew the general historical trend, tried to persuade the female elf a little, but it obviously had little effect.
"It's almost done. I'm going back too. Thank you Miss Stella for leading the way today."
"Um..."
Hearing that Carter was leaving, Stella rarely showed a rather embarrassed expression on her face. Carter, who noticed this, took the initiative to ask:
"Do you need anything?"
"I want to join the Eagle Legion..."
"That's no problem. When the time comes to officially start recruiting, shouldn't it be enough to just sign up?"
"My father will probably disagree... If it is the City Defense Army, he may agree, but if it is the Eagle Legion that will encounter combat missions, he probably will not let me participate, so I would like you to help me convince my father ...I don't want to be here forever."
"Um... I can assure you that you will never stay here forever... If you are persuaded, wait until the New Year is over..."
Looking at Stella Carter, who is a bit of a literary young woman, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Next, even if you don't want to leave, you have to leave. The Chaos Invasion is no joke.
Thinking so, Carter walked up the plank road.
Chapter 84 New Year's Ceremony
New Year's Eve is coming soon.Many young people from surrounding villages also joined the celebration.
On this cold and windy night, people did not wear heavy warm clothing, but simple robes.
The 'Estari' in the night is illuminated by the raging fire, and the crystal on the lighthouse in the distance emits the light accumulated during the day.
The twin moons in the night sky are even more rare to reveal their whole picture.
In order to offer sacrifices to the various gods, all the people, including the men brought by Carter, surrounded each other in front of the fire in the square, singing ancient sacrificial verses. They worshiped the gods devoutly and simply, in order to pray for a better coming year .
The elves with large skins exposed leaned against each other to feel the skin of their compatriots, surrounded by the raging fire.
"Great Mother of the Elves, thank you for your generosity
Great Lord of the Phoenix, please bless the elves
Great Lord of the Wild Hunt, give your people prey..."
Carter also went to the countryside to do as the Romans did, wearing thin clothes, and said the sacrificial speech that had existed in his memory for a long time in this cold night.
He is not very used to the skin-to-skin contact of strangers, but at this moment he can only endure it.
All the surrounding scenes seemed a bit strange to Carter. In his previous life, he had been to temples or churches a few times, but that was just to understand how religion worked. He himself had always been an atheist.
And there are indeed true gods in this world, but in Carter's view, they are just high-level existences with special abilities.
Especially the elves and gods are not reliable.
When the supreme phoenix lord "Asuryan" saw the birth of the first elf, the god who could predict the future knew that the elves were destined to live a long life, so he decided that all elves would eventually get tired of this world And die, or they will start trying to become gods.Isa, the goddess who created elves, is said to love elves above all else, and weeps in despair and pain when she hears the decision made by the ruthless Lord of the Phoenix. The water of life turned Ulthuan into a land of abundance.
From then on, she will pay close attention to her children, always thinking about how to help them. Although Asuryan has always forbidden the elves to directly interfere with the mortal world, this merciful mother goddess often begs her daughter Lilith to come through dreams. Delivering various messages and nightmares that foretell the future.
Use this to help your beloved children.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………
In Carter's mind, Asuryan is undoubtedly a powerful existence as a high-level life form, and he is one of the few existences who can compete with the four peddlers face to face, but it is too stupid to worship him as the main god who protects the elves.
So Carter just followed up with the words of sacrifice, but in his heart he was eager to leave early and put on clothes to keep out the cold.
With the memories and chakras sent back after several avatars were released, Carter became "in Cao Ying's heart in Han" and began to close his eyes regardless of the surrounding situation, carefully feeling the returned memories.
In order to ensure efficiency as much as possible, Carter would separate two clones every day, and take the necessary materials to a hidden place to make detonators. In just a few days, more than 300 detonators had been accumulated.
For this reason, Carter's fatigue value has increased a lot, from the original two or three hours of sleep a day to restore energy to four hours, and he must hide in his tent whenever he is free to condense chakra.
If you want to have a more intuitive feeling about Carter's Chakra, you can understand it like this:
Gradually proficient in Carter, every time he releases a normal level of "Ho Fireball", he will consume about "fifty parts" of chakra composed of mental and physical energy. Every time he makes a detonator, he will consume about "25 parts" of chakra. At present, Carter has at most stored the amount of chakra in his body that can release two hundred fireballs or make four hundred detonating charms.
With so much chakra gathered in the body, if it is an ordinary ninja, it will reach its limit.But Carter could clearly feel that he was far from reaching his limit, so much chakra only occupied a small part of his total capacity, his body was like a long-dried river that just attracted a little bit of nectar, completely The river is not full yet.
After accepting the memory, Carter simply started to condense chakra at the sacrifice site. Of course, on the surface, he closed his eyes and muttered words, pretending to be very pious.
Finally, after midnight, the sacrifice was finally over, and the elves began to eat the prepared delicacies one after another, but it was already a little cold at this time.
"boil!!!"
Young people even danced primitive and wild dances directly in front of the fire to celebrate the New Year and pay homage to the gods.
Carter, who opened his eyes, also became a little interested in the wild and powerful dance of these young elves in front of him.
The young elves and men imitated the movements of various natural animals, constantly releasing their own hormones.The strong body language made Carter, a person who has no artistic talents in his past and present lives, find it very interesting.
Some elves in warm clothes picked up musical instruments and began to play music to accompany them.
The atmosphere at the scene began to gradually rise.
Not only here, the whole of Ulthuan is celebrating the new year, and the elves and gods are also watching the sacrifices of their own people.
Compared with the Outer Rim, the carnival in the Inner Rim tonight is more crazy and extravagant.
