Something's wrong with my undead

Standing at the entrance of the military camp, Heine looked back at the road leading to the Lord's Mansion.

There is a strange-looking tree every twenty meters on the roadside... people.

It is about 1.5 meters tall and has a standard bucket shape. It is what the little tree man summoned by Linumu looks like after it lands on the ground and takes root.

What surprised him was not the tree man, but a street lamp held in the tree man's arms.

The three-meter-high wooden stake was fixed in the tree man's arms, and a small curly cage was formed at the top.

Inside is a stone the size of a fist, emitting a faint light.

In Heine's perception, the spirits around him were particularly active.

If he remembered correctly, this was the effect of spotlights, and it was also the most basic zero-core component in rune science.

That is, there is no additional processing between input and output.

However, the energy release efficiency of the stone in front of me is only one percent of that of the spotlight, or even lower.

The energy of the Charge Stone can neutralize the corruption caused by the Void.

As for daily use, Heine has never thought about it.

Now he knows.

Yuan Ling needs to eat energy when he is hungry, and he can also take a few bites when he is not hungry.

If you eat it, you will be more active, like you are now.

Moreover, their activeness is not that they are "active" themselves, but that they bring other lazy companions to "have fun together".

...

"So this is the totem you're talking about?" Heine looked at Tuba.

"Yes, sir, this is the Yuanling Street Lamp I made under the inspiration of the Palace of Holy Light."

Tuba explained with pride:

"Compared with magic scrolls, the disadvantages of totems are that they release energy slowly, need to be prepared in advance, cannot be moved, are inconvenient to carry, etc...

“But if you think about it the other way around, these can also be advantages.

“For example, slowness means stability, safety, and high utilization, and being unable to move means that its location can be planned in advance.

"The most important thing is that compared to scrolls or magic instruments that require extremely high material requirements, the cost of totems is extremely low."

He walked up to the little tree man, took out a yellowing ancient leaf and waved it.

This kind of leaf Heine has seen before, it is the magical currency of elves.

This was obviously given to him by Linumu to command the little tree people.

The tree man immediately came to life, shook his body, and pulled the stake downwards with his two "hands".

The three-meter-high street light pole began to lower its height, and its lower end was submerged in the soil, as if it were extending into water.

The top stone was soon low enough to reach.

——Tuba is within reach.

The old dwarf stood on tiptoe and took off the stone and handed it to Heine.

Heine weighed it and found that it was a stone that could be seen everywhere.

Its surface was polished smooth, and the totem master's runes were painted on it with special paint, and it was lingering with a faint earthy smell.

"Ordinary stone?" Heine asked in surprise: "How did you do this?"

"It is a combination of totemism and runes, my lord."

Tuba spoke eloquently.

After half a month of research, he gradually realized that the slow expansion of the other world was related to the concentration of Yuanling.

Concentration is the level of activity.

And Quelkus is like a powerful heart, constantly contracting and expanding, pushing the active spirits in the other world farther away, allowing them to wake up more sleeping compatriots.

As the Temple of Light appeared outside the confines of the other world, but could be observed, the old dwarves realized that the so-called "expansion" was not what they had previously understood.

This is not a new world growing from the inside out.

The plane in which the inner world is located exists in itself.

Quelkus is simply expanding the scope within which they can operate.

That way, things get concrete.

...

Tuba: "We will arrange several Yuanling street lights in the real world outside the inner world, and then use plant roots to connect the points into lines, and depict the Yuanling you left in the other world on the ground in the real world. Magic circle.

"It turns out that this is extremely effective. The other world will spread along the magic circle we drew in reality at a very low cost, and the speed will be increased by at least ten times!"

"Where are the charging stones?" Heine asked: "These are ordinary stones. How do they provide energy?"

Tuba smiled and said: "This is the combination of totemism and runes I mentioned.

"The roots of the plants connect the Yuanling street lamps. Every 10 to 12 street lamps form a group, and each group shares a charging stone.

“The energy of the charged stone extends through the root system and is released through the totem stone on the street lamp.

“Generally speaking, when the energy is consumed to half, the area circled by the team can already be seen in the other world. You only need to wait for the two to meet before the former can be included in the range.

"Once the area where the group is located is included in the inner world, the consumption rate of charging stones will be greatly reduced, and almost no energy will be consumed."

It's actually possible to do this...

Heine looked at the stone in his hand, then looked at the street lamp in the distance.

He calculated a little in his mind.

With their careful use of charging stones, the remaining half of the warehouse's charging stones are barely enough to expand the inner world to the boundaries of the magic network.

That is, the area of ​​the McCalla Mountains delineated by the Four-Nation Convention of Vilitas.

Is this the power of totemism + runes?

Sure enough, interdisciplinary research is the future...

"Then what's going on with these tree people?" he asked.

Tuba: "This is Lord Linumu's suggestion. He said that these tree people have close to level two strength. Before this area is included in the other world, tree people can be used to protect Yuanling street lamps.

"And as the expansion ends, these street lights can be moved to the next area by the tree people. We only have a total of 24 Yuanling street lights now."

"Too little."

Heine shook his head: "In this case, you go find Zhu Sheang and let him lead the guys in the military camp to help you with the construction. You can just find a way to make this kind of stone yourself and bring the Palace of Holy Light into the inner world as soon as possible. "

However, Tuba looked embarrassed: "I...I'm afraid I can't speed up the pace."

"what happened?"

"Although it is not difficult to make this kind of stone, only totem masters can do it. My own strength is limited. Even if I soak in it all day long, I may not be able to keep up with the consumption rate of so many soldiers."

"Hmm..." Heine thought: "Can't I use the Yuanling printer?"

"I'm sorry, sir, I can't use that magic circle."

Heine couldn't help but wonder: "It shouldn't be...the concentration of Yuanling in that place is already ridiculously high..."

Tuba: "I think this is because Yuanling cannot understand what a totem rune is."

Heine was stunned: "It's like you can't understand what basic runes are?"

"Yes, compared to the most basic instructions, this is also advanced content."

Heine patted his forehead, feeling dizzy from work lately.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how is the rune literature promotion going?"

"I'm afraid you have to ask Mr. Karl Elan about this." Tuba spread his hands: "But as far as I know, it doesn't seem to be going well."

"Not smooth?"

Heine temporarily suppressed his doubts, explained a few words to Tuba and left.

He returned to the Lord's Mansion and went to the other world to find Nobita who was teaching Gawain how to build a house.

Sun Knight couldn't build a house, so Heine immediately thought of Nobita.

Even as an outsider, he could tell that the wooden houses Nobita had built before were very decent.

Later he learned another story from Saberia.

Nobita's dream was to become an architect, so he went to Mercury Forest to get an architect certificate.

But he soon discovered that few elves did this for a living.

Because everyone has lived too long, they all have a certificate more or less.

Landscapers, architects, hairdressers, whatever.

Therefore, every industry has a large number of masters who have been alive for five or six hundred years.

And even these masters rely on adventurous tasks to survive, let alone newcomers.

There is only one type of elves who can survive without fighting and just rely on side jobs.

That's the royal family.

Therefore, Nobita had no choice but to give up this dream, became a second-rate warlock, sneaked into the Cuiye Court, and lived in confusion.

I didn’t expect that after “death”, I would actually accomplish something.

"How was your communication?" Heine asked closer.
