Goddess Wanhua Mirror

The grievances between the Ganmaling family and the Lumley family have a long history. As one of the best aristocratic powers in the northern part of the kingdom, the two families have been in constant disputes for the past few decades. Apart from the fact that there has not been a large-scale lord war, small conflicts in private happens sometimes.

However, in reality, there are only interest disputes between the two families, and there is no real blood feud. Therefore, what the mediation lacks is only an opportunity and a middleman who can convince both parties.

Originally, the most ideal candidate for this middleman was King Duran. As the supreme leader of the kingdom and the co-lord loyal to all the enfeoffed nobles, if he really took the initiative to stand up and say "you don't want to fight anymore", the two lords would definitely Will be willing to sit down and have a good talk.

But the reality is that the past three generations of kings chose to turn a blind eye to the conflict between the two tycoons in the north. Only when the two sides had signs of a serious fight would they jump out and beat them. Otherwise, they would always pretend to be watching the scenery.Without a suitable middleman, neither of the two families would accept the other, and they were unwilling to take the initiative to make the first move. Naturally, the relationship could only continue to stalemate like this.

However, the world was unpredictable. The popularity of the drama "Romeo and Juliet" and the exposure of the "secret love affair" between Rodriguez and Sharo gave the two families a chance to reconcile.

A road that was not conceived before, but is indeed feasible, is placed in front of the lords of the two families, that is "marriage"!

The Duke himself has a positive attitude towards this matter and is very happy to see it succeed.In addition to the fact that he had already wanted to go downhill, and if his son really married his old rival's daughter, although the wave was not big, his family would definitely not lose money.

As for the mediator in the middle, Lude in front of him is just right!

After listening to the Duke's narration, Lude asked after pondering for a moment.

"My lord, this old man has always supported the free love between young men and women, but... what will the people over there say?"

Pointing to the guide, Lu De's meaning is self-evident. Your two families are quietly planning to get married. What will the Dulan royal family in the capital think?

In the past three generations of kings, they kept their eyes closed. Although they didn't make a clear statement, they knew what they meant... they knew everything.As a result, now that your two families suddenly want to reconcile and plan to marry, is King Duran really happy to see it happen?Give you back the accompanying money?

Regarding Lude's question, the Duke said with a smile.

"Master, I don't need you to worry about this. Today is not the same as in the past, and the southwest has become more and more uneven in the past few years. Our old neighbors are ready to move, and there is no big move if we don't keep it together. The more this is the case, Your Majesty will The more I hope that we nobles can unite sincerely, he will bless this marriage."

In a few words that seemed to be an understatement, Duke Ganmaling revealed a very serious news to Lude.

In the southwest of the kingdom, there is one and only one existence that can make King Duran feel afraid in this direction, and that is the prosperous Canary Empire.

In Lude's view, this vast and basically centralized feudal empire is ahead of the Duran Kingdom in all aspects, regardless of politics, economy, military or culture.

However, what is criticized is that this country, the most powerful human race in the world, has long practiced extreme racism in the country.

Internally, the citizens are divided into grades, grades, and subhuman races and other non-Canary races are brutally oppressed. A little resistance will lead to bloody massacres, and genocide is not discussed.Externally, it is constantly plundering and expanding, often finding excuses to launch aggression against neighboring countries, swallowing the small ones in one gulp, and gradually nibbling away the big ones, with no signs of satisfaction at all.

We must know that more than 100 years ago, the empire and the kingdom of Duran did not have an inch of territory bordering each other. As a result, several generations of time were stuck on the face, and only a few small puppet countries as buffer zones remained, which still existed symbolically.

Now there are various signs that the imperial people have set their greedy eyes on the Duran Kingdom.At this time, King Duran wished that all the nobles under his command could be twisted together, so naturally he would not intervene in the marriage between the Ganmolin family and the Lumley family.

It just so happened that Earl Lumley was already on his way, and the two sat down to have a good talk, which might lead to a "good story"!

Two days later, another team arrived as scheduled.Seeing his old opponent's handsome face standing next to Lude and waving at him, Earl Lumley couldn't help curling his lips, then dismounted and walked forward with his daughter Sharo.

"Your Excellency, please stay safe!"

"Haha, Master Tolud's blessing has been hard."

"..." xN

As for the duke's sleazy jokes in public, Lude only thought he was promoting his magic medicine, so he pretended not to hear it wisely, while Rodriguez turned his head away in pain, with an embarrassment visible to the naked eye .

Speaking of which, the reason why Rodriguez lived in the Forest of Tranquility inhabited by elves since he was a child is because his great-grandmother, who is still alive, really can't stand his grandson's romantic nature, so in order to prevent his great-grandson from being led astray again, he went Take Rodriguez away and raise him himself.

Thanks to her old man, Rodriguez did not become a playboy like his father, but became a model "Knight of the Light".

After the simple greetings, the earl and his party also entered the town.

This is the first time that Earl Lumley has been to Pine Tree Town. He only learned about it from the information reported by his subordinates, but now he is finally visiting the site in person. Like the Duke who arrived a few days ago, the Earl marveled at this previously unknown place. It is said that a small village can rise to what it is today in just a few years.

The earl couldn't help but sigh inwardly. At the time when King Duran was canonized as the Baron of Cork, he probably didn't know the actual situation of Pine Tree Town. The reclaimed farmland is just right to be entrusted to a baron.

But the actual situation is that the permanent population of the entire town has already exceeded [-], and the surrounding farmland, pastures, and orchards add up to more than [-] mu. Even many fiefs of viscounts and even earls in the kingdom are not so rich, and the local area is still on the rise. period, growing at an astonishing rate.

In addition to the hard indicators of food and population, the local soft power in religion, culture, and economy is also outstanding, and it is also close to the fiefdom of the Steel Whip clan, so it can hire a large number of dwarf craftsmen nearby.

If these conditions were changed to the "Civilization" series, it would be a super-perfect settlement with all attributes, and it would even come with a "great man"!

Thinking of such a good place, but he missed it, even if the Earl is not a jealous person, he can't help but feel a little sour at the moment.

End of this chapter

As the opening date of the Food Festival approached, the festive atmosphere in the town became more and more intense. Men, women and children were all happy, with happy smiles on their faces.

Thanks to the upgrading of agricultural technology led by Lu De, and the wide application of fertilizer "Jinkela", coupled with the smooth weather throughout the year, God did not fix any moths. This year, Pine Town ushered in an unprecedented bumper harvest. The arable land The area has nearly doubled compared to last year, while the total grain output has increased by more than six times compared to last year, and the types of non-staple food have also been greatly enriched!

The real "agricultural miracle" is seen in the eyes of everyone in the town, and no one doubts whether Evelina, the god of medicine, has the god of "abundance".Compared with the barren Earth Mother Goddess, the abundance of the Goddess of Medicine is visible to the naked eye!

However, Lude, who led all of this, was not satisfied with the results achieved. The six-fold increase in production sounded very strong, but in essence, it was because the foundation of primitive agriculture was too low that it made significant progress.

When Songshu Town was a small village of 400 people, less than [-] mu of land was developed around the village. The main crops were wheat and potatoes. When it reaches about three or four hundred catties, it must be a good time for good weather. If there is a little disaster, the output may be halved, or even no harvest.

After Lu De actually took power, he spent more than two years leading the villagers to build water conservancy and improve planting techniques. Of course, the most important thing is to use the unscientific power of magic to improve crops and make fertilizers. This year's bumper harvest , is the result of all these efforts.

However, even so, compared with the modern agriculture on the earth, the output alone is still far inferior.Although Lu De had never been a farmer in his previous life, he took his parents back to his hometown in the countryside to visit during the holidays and listened to the chatter of the neighbors. The local wheat yield is about one thousand catties per mu, and potatoes can even be several thousand catties .

Unless Lude injects divine power into the fields regardless of the cost, nourishing every crop to grow at a high speed, it will be difficult to reach the level of the earth in a different world that is extremely backward in all aspects.

certainly!It is true that the feasibility of using magic spells on a large scale to accelerate the ripening of conventional crops is too low and the gains outweigh the losses, but if it is only used for high-value crops with a small planting area, there is still a lot to do.

In the breeding greenhouse, Lude directly cultivated those particularly delicate spices and medicinal materials with divine magic.

In a sense, holding a food festival is not a temporary interest of Lu De, or to pave the way for the introduction of the Goddess of Kitchen Fire, but a kind of obsession with food, which is deeply buried in his bones. !

However, what made Lude feel a little misguided was that due to the previous "mass distribution" of invitation letters, lords, representatives of chambers of commerce and religious people from all over the surrounding areas arrived in Pine Town one after another. The disciples came together.

In addition to these old acquaintances he invited on his own initiative, there were also some "new friends" who Lu De didn't know but who knew him took the initiative to come to the door.

They are all famous people, they came for Lude's face, it is impossible to say that they just leave it alone, they always want to see each other, so Lude has been very busy these days just receiving guests, tossing more than Usually tired.

"Oh! This seems to be different from what I thought before!"

"Master, someone is looking for you again, come out to pick up guests!"

"...Fake!"

Under Aina's heartless urging, Lude, who had met with six groups of people since morning, went straight to the main hall of the temple without even taking a sip of water.When he was about to reach the main hall, Lude found that at the corner of the corridor, Hydera was stealthily peeking into the hall by the door.

When the snake lady heard Lude coming from behind, she rushed up to stop him, then pointed to the hall in a panic and said.

"Master, master! Something is wrong!"

"What's the matter? Panicked like this?"

"Outside, a female mage came, I have seen her before!"

"Ok?"

After some questioning, Lude found out that the visitors waiting in the hall were also the magicians of the Three-person Tower, and the woman in charge, like Hamilton, was one of the three chiefs, Deb, the great magister of the water system. La Augustine.

This aunt who is said to be a member of the Duran royal family and the current king of Duran, was selected by the previous chief minister because of her extraordinary talent in magic, and was accepted as a closed disciple. In only 25 years, she was promoted from an apprentice to a great magician. Not only inherited the chief position of the tutor, but also got the name of "Augustine".This is the highest certification of master-apprentice inheritance in the magic world, which is equivalent to the master admitting that the disciple surpasses himself.

It’s worth mentioning that this person’s fighting power is probably the strongest in the three-person tower. Even Hamilton, who claims to be able to fight the dragon “[-]/[-]”, will shrink his neck and admit that he can’t beat her when he mentions this person while chatting. It can be seen from this.

As for why Hydera panicked so much, it was because when Lude was in Oyster Harbor in the first half of the year, he sent Snake Lady to the open sea to ambush Evan Ruth, and asked her to hang around the sea for a few more days after she succeeded, so as not to People suspect that Evan Ruth's death was an assassination.

As a result, the noise made by the Snake Lady alarmed the royal family of Duran, and specially sent a crusade fleet to encircle and suppress her, and Debra also participated in this operation, which cast a psychological shadow on Hydera. The woman suddenly appeared in the temple, subconsciously thinking that she was here to seek revenge.

After understanding the situation, Lude reckoned that this Mage Debra didn't come for Hydera, but to catch Hamilton.

It was late at night when the old bald man came two days ago. After meeting him, he used a showy tone, saying that he had thrown off the "difficult pursuer" and told Lu De not to reveal his whereabouts easily. He would change his face Stay in the town for a few days and wait for the Perfect Food Festival before leaving.

Now it seems that this guy didn't get rid of the pursuers in his mouth!

Feeling that his guess should be indistinguishable, Lu De comforted Hydera a few words, telling her not to panic, and go to meet the great water magician for a while as a teacher.

After tidying up the slightly messy appearance just now because Hydera dribbled the ball into someone, Lude strolled into the hall with Aina, and saw a female magician wearing a sea-blue mage robe.

At first glance, the other party seemed to be about thirty years old, with thick golden curly hair, and his eyes were always closed tightly on his pretty face, but when the other party turned his head and "looked" at him, Lu De clearly felt A strong gaze made his heart tremble slightly.

"Welcome, Master Augustine, I am Lude."

"Hello, Master Lude. I have long admired your name, and I admire your teaching's righteous deeds in Oyster Harbor."

As Debra spoke, she first gave Lude the gift of a mage, and then raised her head and asked Lud straight to the point.

"Excuse me, Master Lude, has Hamilton from our academy ever been here?"

"He...he said he never came."

End of this chapter

After hesitating for less than three seconds, Lude decisively betrayed Hamilton.Debra was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a knowing smile.

"So, where is he now?"

"I'm not in town at the moment. A few months ago, a maze built by demons appeared in the forest to the north. Hamilton said he was interested, so he took a few apprentices there first. If there is no accident, there will be a food festival in the town the day after tomorrow. Opening, he should be able to come back, you might as well wait in the town."

"If that's the case, then I'll stay in the town for a few more days, and wait for that guy to throw himself into the trap."

When Debra said this, there was a smile on Debra's face, but Lude's heart trembled. Although he couldn't see the other person's eyes, he understood the delicate atmosphere at the moment, and couldn't help feeling sorry for Hamilton. There was a second of silence.

Out of respect for the top human beings, Lude invited Debra and his party to sit in the garden in the backyard of the temple, and asked Aina and Hydera to prepare tea and snacks.And Debra seems to be quite interested in Lu De, a religious person with a very unusual reputation, so she readily agrees.

So a group of people moved to the backyard garden of the temple, which was originally the place where Lude grew vegetables, and for a while there was an earthen kiln for firing pottery.Later, with the improvement of living conditions, the vegetable garden was transferred to the greenhouse, and the kiln was placed underground, which made the garden return to its proper appearance.

Lude invited Debra because he wanted to make friends with him first, and because he wanted to use Debra, a member of the royal family, to expand the contacts he needed when he went south to the royal capital in the future.

For the past three years, Lude has been concentrating on development in the northern border of the kingdom. In the final analysis, it was because he had no strength at that time and could not grab living space in the urban areas where the big sects were entrenched, so he turned to the countryside to encircle the cities.

Now that Pine Tree Town as a "base" has begun to take shape, and the development of the God of Medicine Sect is on the right track in all aspects, and everything is moving in a prosperous direction. Naturally, Lu De has the confidence to turn his attention to the big cities again.

We must know that in terms of religious development alone, densely populated large cities have huge advantages that local towns cannot match, and are more suitable for the original fire to play.

According to Lude's previous test, the best effective distance of the original fire in his body is centered on him, and the distance within this area within a radius of three kilometers continues to widen, and the effect begins to decay rapidly. It completely loses its effect at around eight kilometers.

In contrast, other sects that use temples and statues as their belief collection points may have an effective distance of only a few hundred meters, which is far inferior to the source of fire. However, these big sects occupy large cities and have a small effective collection area. It can be compensated by the density of population in the city.

When he was in Oyster Harbor before, Lu De had seen the power of a big city. 10,000+ people watched his carefully created "resurrection show". The amount collected is equivalent to a yearly population of 5000 in Songshu Village.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't let go of Pine Tree Town, which was completely under his control, Lude really wanted to take root in Oyster Harbor instead of just opening a sub-base.

Now the development of the God of Medicine Sect has shown signs of entering a bottleneck period. Even though Aina is about to break through to the third stage, there is no difficulty in breaking through the first three stages. It will be a matter of course if the total value of belief reaches that standard. The breakthrough from the third level to the fourth level is the real first threshold, and it is also the watershed that distinguishes the lower gods from the middle gods.

If she continues to stay in a corner, then I am afraid that on the day when Lude dies of old age, Aina will still be the lower god of the third level.

At this stage of development, expansion is the only way to go.

Several people were chatting here, when Aina and Hydera came over with tea and fruit plate.Aina walked in front, while Hydera deliberately hid behind her, trying to prevent Debra from seeing her.However, Debra, who kept her eyes closed all the time, suddenly looked at her, her expression seemed a little surprised, but it soon turned into excitement.

"Master Lude, are these two nuns your disciples?"

"Yes, her name is Aina, and the one hiding behind is called Hydera. They have practiced with me for many years, and they are very good children."

"Oh! Is the one at the back called Hydera? Master Lude, I have an unfeeling request. Can you let this Sister Hydera come forward, I want to take a closer look at her."

"Uh...is there a problem?"

"I 'saw' in her an elemental affinity far beyond that of ordinary people, and like me, she has a physique specializing in water elements. This child can be said to be a magic wizard who is one in a million. It is a pity to let her become a nun !Master, I have an unfeeling request, can you give this child to me? I am willing to accept her as a disciple, she has the potential to inherit my mantle, and maybe she will surpass me in the future!"

As Debra spoke, her tone became more and more agitated, and finally she simply stood up and rushed forward, grabbing Hydera's hands, the frightened snake girl almost went into cardiopulmonary arrest, and finally yelled "Wow", and fled He also seemed to hide behind Lude.

Lude also didn't expect Debra to make such a sudden move, so he coughed a few times in embarrassment, reminding the other party to pay attention to the impact.

"Ms. Debra, you scare my disciple."

"Uh, I'm sorry, it's just that I was a little too excited when I saw such excellent qualifications all of a sudden. Please forgive me, but let me take another good look at this child."

"Wait, wait! Calm down, Great Magician Debra, I'm a little confused. You suddenly said that my disciple Hydera is a magical wizard. What is the evidence?"

"Evidence? Of course I saw it with these eyes!"

"???"

Seeing that Lude and the others looked puzzled, Debra, who was much calmer than before, explained to him.It turns out that the reason why Debra keeps her eyes closed, but she seems to be able to see everything, is because she has practiced a unique secret technique of the Augustine series - the arcane magic eye.

Listening to the other party's description, Lu Dexin said that this kind of secret technique is a bit like the "mind's eye" that often appears in various comics. It actively abandons conventional vision in exchange for super perception that can directly see the essence of elements.

And Debra, who has the magic eye of arcane magic, can not only directly see whether a person has the potential to practice magic, but also can predict the magic that the opponent is brewing by observing the flow of magic elements in the opponent's body, so as to target Countermeasures, or even interference first, destroy the opponent's magic formula, causing a strong backlash effect.

Hydera, who met Debra in the form of a giant snake in the outer sea, was defeated by the opponent's method.Because the magic used by monsters is very simple, and Hydera just uses the water system that Debra is best at. There was an internal injury, which caused a lot of psychological shadow on the snake lady.

End of this chapter

Because the main body is the top-level Warcraft lord, even if it is forcibly "feminized" into a human form by Lude using the Book of Ashes, Hydera still has the world's top-level elemental affinity, and this is what it takes to become a top magician. necessary preconditions.
