Medieval Empire Soldier

   Chapter 72 Seventy-two Magic Eight Winds and Mage

   Digression: The reaction of book friends about the last chapter was very intense. As for this, Hammer can't say anything. After all, this is a medieval fanfic that relies on system flow.

The more I write, the more I find out about the protagonist's follow-up plot, territory development, army expansion, etc., the usual route is too slow, and it also affects the quality of the update (mainly because the hammer is too lazy and his head is not bright), it will feel awkward for the time being, and gradually improve it. !

   Book friends are happy to watch, which is the driving force for the continuous update of Hammer.

   (text of this chapter)

  1,600 imperial gold coins and thirty sets of standard sergeant armor, plus nine boxes of valuable ornaments, all magic ores, etc. These are all the benefits that Lallen got after the end of the Bandit War.

  This result, Lallen is very satisfied, 1,600 gold coins have been equivalent to five to six years of income in Oak Village's territory. After taking into account the expenses before and after, as well as the fees and rewards of recruiting sergeants, it can be said that they have captured a lot of money.

Thirty sets of standard standard sergeant armors are "gifts" that Earl Delavan sent personal affairs officers to negotiate with the kingdom knights to share the spoils. The former is willing to provide a lot of practical benefits to Oak Village, relocate the population, exempt the war tax for the next three years, and The town of Bray and the city of Grimmenhagen have opened up exclusive trade routes, etc., and there are more than a dozen in total.

  The most important point, in the letter sent by Earl of Draven, he mentioned that he would try his best to fight for the title of "Knight of the Kingdom of Honor".

   This is the honor that every knight in the kingdom dreams of, and it is a rigid condition for becoming a military aristocrat and obtaining a title.

In the second week after the end of the autumn harvest day every year, the various electors of the empire will screen the list of candidates for new nobility in the territory. According to the merit, prestige, influence and loyalty of the candidates on the list, the nobility will be selected, and those with titles will be promoted. is very likely.

   Therefore, the "Knight of the Kingdom of Honor" is aliased as "quasi-noble".

  Since the reform of His Majesty Magnus the "Pious" two hundred years ago, all parts of the empire have attached great importance to honor and bravery. If Laylen successfully obtained the title of honorary kingdom knight, it would be equivalent to completely embarking on the path of nobility.

   After basically clearing the bandits around the territory, the army did not need to patrol, and loaded with loot, Laylen and the others returned to Oak Village.

The farmland is covered with a thick layer of turquoise and stretches from the periphery of the forest to the city wall. The hard-working peasants bend down and work in the fields. They are looking forward to the harvest season. Rhea's shrine is crowded with devout people every day.

At the end of the field of vision, several tall watermills are continuously pumping water from the Jorne River to irrigate the farmland, and several renovated windmills and watermills are also in progress. Expanded neighborhoods allow more people to join.

The influence of the Serena Church is increasing day by day, people are concerned about their own health, and the merciful and kind pastors and doctors, their therapeutic effects are much better than the pharmacists in the countryside, at least they don't need to drink Under the various strange potions.

  It is worth mentioning that Laylen paid dozens of gold coins at one time to provide a lot of financial assistance to Serena believers, allowing Mercy Church to implement the teachings of the goddess and help more people.

   For some time, many children and abandoned babies have been adopted in churches and sanatoriums. Girls will be trained as future priests and physicians, and boys will be sent to Sigma Church or Uric Church to be trained and trained as Templars of the church.

  People like to live near Serena Church, and the gracious parish priest has also added a lot of pan-congregation to Oak Village.

As the official mainstream beliefs of the Empire, the Church of Sigmar and the Church of Urick, the two forces are also arguing and competing with each other in Oak Village. The Sigma Shrine built next to the stone street leading to the lord's longhouse is full of people who come and go every day. , prayers and prayers, the number of believers is comparable to that of the Serena Church.

The Urick sect in the Earl of Delavan could not stand it any longer. They sensed the infinite future development power of Oak Village and responded quickly. They immediately sent a complete church clergy to carry out routine missionary missions to demonstrate the greatness of the wolf **** and compete for believers. .

  The human gods seem to favor this small village, from which the Symmetra shines on the surrounding towns.

Lailun looked at the church monks who appeared in the territory. He was both happy and worried. Although Midden was not as stubborn as Nord and Osterling, compared to the south, they were more xenophobic, especially the two religions. Thousands of years of strife and differences can be seen in the tension between the two popes.

   In case of slack in some aspect, because of his status as the Sigmar's Chosen, something might happen.

Before leaving with him, the white wolf knight Krill reminded him, roughly saying that the Church of Uric had already targeted Laylen, and his attitude was unclear. To sum up, it was to let the kingdom knights carefully handle the double-edged sword of religion. Avoid extreme conflict as much as possible.

   After all, a mad believer like a whipper who even beats demons, no one wants to see a guy who is not bound by the world go to his own territory to make trouble.

Taking advantage of the time in late April, Laylen went to the Overland Chamber of Commerce and signed a series of contracts for trade goods, including furs, logs, Balneiraffe beer, dwarf tools, etc. It is expected that the trading post will provide him every year. The income will be more than one hundred and twenty gold coins, and business is faster than agriculture!

The blacksmith shop located in the east of Oak Village has also undergone a round of expansion. The additional water forging machinery and the number of people it can accommodate can increase the current output by half, correspondingly increasing the demand for raw materials, which can be met through the trading station, and the daily maintenance fee is also within the acceptable range.

   The tools made by dwarves are too cost-effective, and they have seized more markets, and the pricing power is in the hands of Lallen.

  A number of discounts have been implemented within the Duo, with appropriate price reductions and exemptions, to protect the vital interests of the people, and externally, they are sold at the price, or even higher.

   The tower-shaped building that suddenly appeared in the corner of the lord's longhouse also attracted the unbelievable gazes of many people. For this, Lailun did not explain anything, but only issued an order prohibiting anyone from approaching.

  【Mage Library (Level 1)】

  【Effect: Mage capacity*1, monthly output of magic scrolls indefinitely, + local magic wind reserve】

  [Description: There are countless books in the Mage Tower, strange and weird knowledge, which will lead the Mage to explore the origin of magic]

  The exterior of the Master Library is a gradually decreasing minaret-shaped building, covering an area of ​​more than 300 square meters. The total height of the tower is more than 12 meters. It is divided into five floors.

  The first floor is blocked by tall stone walls and forests. The outer wall is composed of limestone and marble. Nine corners are matched with wooden structures, which firmly stabilize the tower and stand in a corner of the lord's longhouse.

The   Stone Gate is powered by magic, blocking off all those who offend. As a user, Lallen will naturally not be blocked from the door.

   Walking into the tower, you can see the wooden stairs spiraling up in the center, around the beams and columns supporting the tower body, and the bookshelves stacked around it. Slow down the books, and some pages look old and withered.

The decoration on the first floor is simple, more like a place for ascetic monks. The interior of the compartment separated by stone walls is full of bottles, jars and utensils. Several magic lamps hanging from the top of the inner tower emit soft light. , illuminating the unknown stone statues in the tower.

The black hood covers the face of the stone statue. Even if you look at it, you will feel a special force distorting your vision. From the appearance, the carving is an old male mage, with a slightly squat body and a staff carved from obsidian. At the top, a fist-sized magic crystal is inlaid, flashing white light.

   The light flashed, and a staff suddenly appeared in front of Laylen.

The smooth handle end material is more like an ivory product, twisted and twisted like a tree root, and the top of the intertwined roots is natural emerald green. Laylen felt the magic wind contained in the crystal and was very calm.

   "For me?" The Kingdom Knight was a little surprised, and even though he was puzzled in his heart, he hesitated and reached out to take the staff.

  【White Branch of Urasilu (Purple Staff)】

  [Effect: -20% chance of error in using magic, greatly increase the user's magic wind reserves, +30% spell duration and effect]

  [Binding Spell: Light of Fei's Sanctuary*1, Regeneration*1]

   At this time, the system issued a reminder about the Mage Tower.

  【The special building "Mage Library" is activated】

  [Current Mage capacity*1, available hero capacity*1, piety value 1476, currently available for recruiting Mage*1]

   [Consumes 600 points of piety, please select the attribute of recruiting a mage, the recruited mage will arrive at the host territory within three days]

Around the    Kingdom Knights, there are eight magic portals with different colors, representing the eight magical winds:

  Natural magic, wind of life.

  The Emerald Mage summons the power of the wind of life to provide healthy and clean food and drinking water for human gatherings, or to cure diseases. In line with the Church of Serina, he is the old enemy of the evil **** Nurgle and restrains the corruption plague.

  The magic of the stars, the wind of heaven.

Heavenly mages watch the stars at night, divination the future, and when necessary, summon the sky, and the power of the stars to use them, they can also see the enemy's future actions and plans, provide intelligence advantages for the imperial army to counteract, or summon storms , lightning and even astral bodies attack the enemy, tearing their lines to pieces.

   Gray magic, wind of shadows.

On the battlefield, gray mages use their power to interfere with the enemy's senses, or to provide disguise for themselves, creating opportunities for raids; allowing the enemy to kill each other and reduce unnecessary casualties, they are also the purest watchers of order , put an end to all corruption, and is loved by witch hunters.

  Amethyst magic, the wind of death.

  Amethyst Mage is dedicated to fighting vampires and necromancers, who hate midnight dignitaries and all creatures or dead things in the world that violate the law of natural death.

   In addition, there are Wind of Fire, Wind of Metal, Wind of Beast and Wind of Light.

  The names of the eight winds correspond to Jiren, Agil, Urku, Shashu, Akshay, Qianmen, Guer, and Haixi.

The affinity between humans and the magic wind is far less than that of the elves. The latter can master multiple magic winds with a long lifespan, and even integrate them into "higher magic", while humans are bound by their own limitations and can only bind one magic. wind, and requires a lifetime of study.

  There is only one magistrate available to Laylen, and it is extra important to choose a magist.

  Amethyst Mage and Death Mage are the first to be excluded. The two legal systems are more suitable for fighting the vampires of Sylvania. The main danger in the north is Chaos and its lackeys.

   "Heaven Mage and Bright Mage?" Lailun pinched his chin and thought carefully.

  Eight winds have their own characteristics, and the most lethal one is the flame mage. They draw power from the wind of Akshay and create purgatory by themselves on the battlefield, and the auxiliary spells of the amber mage and the emerald mage are very impressive.

   After repeatedly tangled, Laren's clenched brows gradually relaxed, and he immediately made a decision in his heart.

  When the first ray of morning light fell on the grounds of Oak Village, Sergeant Kap Yimiti was wearing his armor as always at home.

  The spacious and brand-new wooden house is clean and neat, with a few animal skins hanging on the walls, and a few unusual wooden furniture, neatly arranged, and the wooden table tops against the wall on one side of the house are dazzlingly polished.

  The wooden floor in the room is very clean, and the fire is quietly lit in the room, maintaining a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

  The man leisurely hummed the tune of the bard in the tavern not long ago, and took a bottle of ale from the wooden shelf of the compartment.

Lord Lailun funded the construction of dozens of wooden houses for the sergeants to live in. They only need to pay a small amount of rent. However, I heard that they will be allowed to buy them soon. Kap Yimiti intends to buy this wooden house. as a forever home.

  The window was opened, and the cold wind outside was blowing along the window. It was almost five months after the Winter Veil Festival, and the weather in the north was slightly warmer.

"My dear Garin, is breakfast ready? They are still waiting for me to change the whistle!" Karp smiled and hugged his two beloved sons. The oldest of the little guys was only seven years old. Before the cold scales, the little guys rubbed their sleepy eyes.

"Are the children awake?" His wife, a simple peasant woman, was busy in the small kitchen. She cut half a pound of pork into small pieces, added some salt, stirred them well, and put them in a boiling pot to cook. , the smell of pork wafts in the room.

  Kapu has made a lot of achievements in the battle against bandits a few days ago. The lord rewarded him with 20 silver coins, which was his salary as a carpenter in the village for a whole year.

The first thing he did was to improve the food. Since his wife and two children followed him, except for the Winter Veil Festival, the rest of the time basically did not touch the slightest bit of meat. This capable man was full of guilt. Do your best to make up for the past.

   After a short while, his wife brought out a small pot of cooked minced meat porridge, and the family held a bowl and shared the brown bread and minced meat porridge, which was very enjoyable. ,

   kissed his youngest son Fermi, and Karp first sent his eldest son Mervyn to Serena Church not far from home.

  The kind and kind Pastor Penello set up a literacy class. The residents competed for places and sent their children in. He also spent a lot of time to get a place.

   On the way to the south tower post of the village, Garp's sergeant armor attracted a lot of respect.

   "Good morning, Mr. Karp!"

   "Happy Prayer Day!"

   Ask for a ticket and ask for a subscription

  It's late, it's late.
