Thanks to the moisture of the big lake, this vast forest zone around the lake is filled with giant trees and canopies like clouds. Coupled with the careful care of the forest elves, the forest trees have been growing vigorously. The importance of loggers became apparent in order to control the sprawling forests that encroached on valleys and towns. Properly prune the forest to balance the relationship between nature and humans, so that all things and their spirits can coexist more harmoniously. It is also a legitimate act to maintain species diversity. Just like humans need regular haircuts and nail clippings. Even in the Valen Forest, where no flower or grass can be easily destroyed, the trees beyond the boundaries are allowed to be cut down by the surrounding orc tribes. This is actually a controllable balance.
Previously, Annis Hunting Village also had a small lumber camp located in the village. As the hunting village became more and more prosperous, the size of the village expanded again and again. Now it is the same size as Baihe Farm. It is a prosperous hunting town that produces logs, animal skins, and game animals. Later, the lord ordered the ring mage to build the "Southern Bright Shin (Cruel Shin) Watch Tower" at the southern exit of Crispy Shan Pass, which together with the soon-to-be-completed "Northern Bright Shin (Cruel Shan) Watch Tower" formed a harmonious relationship. Defense structures similar to the north and south flying sentry towers. It was to declare Lord Brookwood's control of the Great Lakes.
Continuing to cultivate the territory, of course, is to maximize the enrichment, and the "Ximu Deck" is destined to be a blockbuster. Both the quantity and quality of the decks can be clearly displayed in the "Golden Tree Codex" in the form of "Golden Pages of Law".
That's why the lord said that a complete set of asylum cards is a sound law. This is also the most straightforward interpretation of "card = fragment".
Passing the Annis Hunting Village on the Storm Outlook, Sadia Iman set her sights on the coal camp on the north bank of the White River. With the large-scale coal mining, Ximu no longer needs to consume firewood during the heating season. In addition, the divine light crystal forge and brass steam pipes are fully connected. Let the Ximu people in various settlements have a warm home. Even so, it still cannot stop the sales of fur winter coats. After all, humans are a social society and cannot stay at home all day long. Someone has to go out in the wind and snow.
Like coal selling like hot cakes. This is also the shipping season for the furs that pile up in the Greystone Castle warehouses. According to the housekeeper's estimation, thanks to the diligent work of the lord, the territory has balanced its revenue and expenditure 10 years ahead of schedule and has begun to make a profit (Long live the lord!). You should know that the people of Ximu Territory hardly have to pay taxes. Counting it all on the fingers, the citizens will only have to pay nothing in their lifetime: marriage tax (right of first night) and inheritance tax (right of inheritance).
Both rights are recorded in the "Covenant of Lords" and are sacred and cannot be exempted.
Of course, it is too early to talk about inheritance tax in Ximuduo, the home of immigrants. As for the marriage tax, if the lord does not publicly give up the right to the first night, the young girls in the territory will overwhelm the gray stone castle in one day. Of course, as we all know, only the promise recipients who are suitable for the Crimson Dragon Break and have their own "Golden Page of the Law" will have the opportunity to appear in the promise hall of the Gray Stone Dragon Temple. Use the chastity broken by the crimson dragon to sign the law of mottled golden trees.
As for ordinary citizens, they are not suitable. Therefore, the vast majority of grooms can "buy back" the bride's first night with marriage tax (Sir, you are buying and selling by force! I object!).
Along the Baihe River, you can enjoy the local customs and customs along the way. Annis Hunting Village, Coal Block Camp, White River Bay Fishing Ground, Camp Fire Hunter Camp, and the spectacular Brookwood City.
"Oh my god..." Even though she was a well-informed lady from Hammerfell, Sadia Iman was also deeply shocked by the city of River Valley in front of her. Especially the Domus, a unique single-family stone and wood residence in Ximu, with three to five floors scattered in height and neatly arranged along the street. The distinctive thatched roof not only reveals the fragrance of dew-soaked herbs, but also glows golden in the sun. The ancient style created by the combination of stone, wood and thatch is pure Ximu style.
The so-called "thatched roof" is actually made of dragonthorn bundled with wheat straw (Wheat Stalk), and then laid layer by layer on the roof covered with thick clay mud. The alchemically transformed Dragon Thorn Grass can effectively absorb fire. With the blessing of the golden tree law, it can also fight against the dragon's breath.
In short, in order to resist the dragon attack, Ximu tried his best.
Greystone castle hall. Wu Chen placed the Wrath of the Red Eagle retrieved from the Rebel Cairn and the Heart of the Red Eagle presented by the leader of Iola in the center of the hall. Waiting for the arrival of the leader of the Eola clan and the top brass of the Namira Witch Guild.
"Sir, you succeeded...half of it." Patriarch Aiola seemed to have guessed the outcome. Or maybe he learned that the Heart of Darkness was lost again from the all-knowing corrupt lady Namira.
"The two things in front of me are enough to complete the little test of the decadent lady." Wu Chen was full of confidence.
"Without the Heart of Darkness, what would you do..." Chief Aiola almost let it slip.
"How to open the door of annihilation, create a soul bond with the gray king Saran's Radha in the gray paradise, and give Fioran, whose soul has been extracted from the bitter blood and recast into the holy sea, a destined death." Wu Chen completed the second half of her unspoken sentence.
"Yes, sir." Since Wu Chen had exposed it on his own, the Aiola patriarch had no need to conceal it. Of course, concealment is part of the Decay Lady's trials.
"Then the only question is whether this 'Holy Sea Dharma Ring' must be engraved on your body." Wu Chen needed to know more details.
"The goddess didn't specifically mention it, so I understand that it shouldn't be necessary. As long as you can complete the ring and give Fioran the destined death, even if the test is completed." The answer of the Aiola chieftain was not what Wu Chen expected.
"That's good." Wu Chen told the leader of the Iola clan and the top brass of the Namira Witch Guild in the Lord's Hall of his plan: "I will use the "Armor Ring" to give Oran the destined death. "
The eyes of Patriarch Aiola were once again filled with surprise. According to Ms. Decay's deconstruction of the "Golden Tree Law", the structure of the "Dharma Ring" forged by Wu Chen is nothing more than: "Heart Ring" + "Shape Ring" + "Life Ring" + "Upper Ring" + "Bracelet".
It is impossible for the Aiola patriarch not to know the meaning of "armor". However, how will the "shaped ring" involved in the reorganization of Mendas' material form wear its armor?
Could it be similar to some kind of transfiguration?
"A disguised form." Patriarch Aiola suddenly understood.
"Or call it a form of disguise." Wu Chen corrected with a smile.
"Whose form do you want to put on the ring to form a disguise?" Chief Aiola asked hurriedly.
"Female Sword Saint Michaela Reki." Wu Chen's tone was full of respect.
"The female swordswoman of Yokuda. One person can defeat a country with one sword." The leader of Iola said meaningfully: "It is rumored that she is the Saint of the Spirit Sword, the goddess of Yokuda, and Luptega. (Ruptga)'s daughter, the descendant of the strange swordsmanship goddess Leki. She was the goddess Leki who fought against the sword master Saran's Radha for three days and three nights, who fell into Cold Harbor, causing him to lose the Holy Sea. "
Yes.
Reki and Leki are the same word (Leki). The pronunciation is different, but it is the difference between Yokuda and Nordic. Therefore, the female swordsman Mikaela Reki is actually a direct descendant of the spiritual sword sage and the goddess of strange swordsmanship, Reki. By the same token, it can be seen that Sadia Iman, who returned to Ximu on the same boat as the Lord and stayed in the Gray Stone Castle, is also a descendant of the goddess. He has the blood of the Spirit Sword.
"If this is the case, "Ring on the Golden Tree" will be written as "Ring given by the Spirit Sword (Goddess)". "The Lord immediately updated the latest "Holy Sea Dharma Ring" and reorganized it into a self-consistent dimension.
"Holy Sea Magic Ring": "Red Eagle Heart Ring" + "Armor Ring" + "God's Life Ring" + "Golden Tree Ring" + "Spirit Sword Grant Ring" + "Magic Bracelet".
