The elemental array arranged by Marco Jean Dove is a gathering array of elemental power.
Its function is to gather the surrounding elemental forces together.
As we all know, one elemental array cannot easily cover other elemental arrays.
Although Marco did not directly ask Dov to place this elemental array in the middle of Lingbo Farm, the elemental power gathered in this elemental array can also disturb the formation of surrounding elemental arrays.
Therefore, if there is such an elemental array that gathers elemental power next to Lingbo Farm, then the opening of Lingbo Farm's own defensive elemental array will inevitably be affected.
It's like there is an extra small wooden stick between the rotating gears.
Although he wanted to arrange some more powerful elemental arrays, considering that Dov was only a low-level elemental mage, being able to independently arrange such an elemental array was already his limit, and Marco did not ask for too much.
Instead of activating the elemental circle immediately, Marco covered the nearby traces and walked back with Dove, who had been shaking.
Dov looked at the elemental array on the ground with fear, but did not dare to show it at all.
Mayor Sean's order? How is it possible? With this elemental array here, if anything happens to Lingnan Farm afterwards, it will definitely be found to have human factors.
In addition, all the materials were from Crocker Town, and many of them were even arranged by Mayor Sienqi to be handed over to Marco. Mayor Sienqi would not be able to explain them at that time.
Dove could guess without thinking that Marco was probably going to betray Mayor Sean.
But what can he do, report to Mayor Sienqi? The communication element weapon is on Marco's body.
Tell Miss Lucy? Then what Mayor Sienqi wants to do will be exposed. His parents and family are still in Crook Town.
This is like an endless loop. Dov can't think of any way to solve this problem, so he can only follow Marco at a loss, because otherwise, he can't even guarantee that Marco will let him continue to live.
No, he will definitely not let himself live. Dov can confirm that the vague murderous intention is always hanging above his head.
If his death hadn't been discovered by Miss Lucy and easily aroused alarm, I'm afraid he would have been silenced after setting up an elemental power gathering circle.
"Hey, sir? Why are you outside?" Lia, a yawning low-level elemental warrior, looked up and saw two figures, and said in surprise.
"I can't sleep at night, so I need to wake up for convenience." Marco explained casually.
"Ah?" Lia was stunned for a moment. They now live in Xinwa Village, and the toilet is a public toilet built outside.
She just came back from the toilet and didn't see the two of them passing by. And looking in this direction, they didn't come from the toilet either.
"Oh." Lia, who looked very honest and without any scheming, yawned again, with no other expression on her face. She looked like she hadn't woken up. She nodded vaguely, as if she believed it. Same.
"Then I'll go back to bed, sir."
Marco took a steady look at Lea, but didn't see anything. In the past, the impression of this silly big guy was so profound that at this time, he also followed the habit and felt that there was nothing wrong with Lea.
However, Marco did not relax. He waved with a normal expression and asked Lea to go back to sleep. He stayed at the door all night, wanting to see if Lea would go out to report to Miss Lucy in the middle of the night.
In the morning, people got up one after another from the house and started doing things. Lea walked out without hesitation, saw Marco outside, and said hello, "Good morning, sir, you got up so early?"
"Yes, morning." Marco responded with a smile, eliminating his doubts about Lea, and started today's land reclamation task.
A night without sleep will have no effect on an intermediate elemental warrior. In an emergency, it is no problem to stay up for several days and nights. The body of an intermediate elemental warrior is just that powerful.
I don’t know what Miss Lucy was thinking. After the construction of the house was completed, the group of people in Xinwa Village were not allowed to rest. Instead, they were divided into different teams.
Those who learn embroidery go to embroidery, those in the hunting team train every day, and the patrol team, a group of strong elemental warriors, are all assigned to open up wasteland.
Fortunately, Miss Lucy didn't put too much pressure on them. There was a fixed number of acres per day. Once the land reclamation area was reached, they could rest. Basically, they could complete the goal by doing most of the work every day.
After half a month, their patrol team had cleared out land that even two Xinwa villages could not cultivate.
However, Miss Lucy didn't say stop, so they had no choice but to continue working, and looked forward to the snowy day coming soon, so that they could probably rest.
Marco worked leisurely for a long time, completed his share of land reclamation tasks before others, and then sat aside and watched over the others.
Mainly because he was watching Duofu not doing anything and keeping an eye on Lia, he was still a little worried.
Speaking of surveillance, Marco was a little funny. On the first day he returned to Lingxin Farm, he didn't know whether it was Miss Lucy or that Betem who arranged for someone to come and monitor him.
It's a pity that Marco has always been very careful and hasn't done anything out of the ordinary for about ten days in a row, so the surveillance was naturally relaxed.
And yesterday, the person who was arranged to monitor him was also called back to make other arrangements, otherwise Marco would not have dared to go out directly last night.
Looking at the group of people present, Marco suddenly realized that there was someone missing, it was Anne, the low-level elemental mage.
But Annie also received special treatment. Her wind element attribute was not suitable for use in land reclamation, and her physical strength was not as good as that of low-level elemental warriors, so she could not do any heavy work at all.
It made sense that he wasn't there. Anne didn't come here very often before, but for some reason, Marco had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Miss Lucy, last night Lea saw Marco and Dove sneaking out in the middle of the night and not knowing what they were doing." Anne actively reported it.
There are only a few women in the Marco patrol team, and they live in the same house as the female villagers of Xinwa Village. However, the space is not enough, and at least two people have to sleep together.
Lea and Annie have the best relationship and live together. When they came back last night, Lea told Annie about the matter.
It was Anne who persuaded Lea who wanted to go to Miss Lucy to complain in the middle of the night. She thought clearly, "You don't know what Marco has done. What can you say to Miss Lucy? What if he just doesn't like it?" The smell in the toilet needs to be solved outside."
You can't tell Miss Lucy that Marco is unhygienic and defecates everywhere.
"Besides," Anne looked out the window and said warily, "Marco is very careful in what he does. If he had really done something bad, he would definitely be blocking you outside now. Can you beat him?"
Lea shook her head. The gap between mid-level elemental warriors and low-level elemental warriors was too big. If she could beat Marco, she would have stopped hanging around here long ago.
"So, just pretend you don't know anything and do things normally. I'll tell Miss Lucy tomorrow." Anne clapped her hands and the two of them slept peacefully all night, while Marco froze outside all night.
When she got up in the morning, after everyone had left, Anne calmly found Miss Lucy to report the matter.
Lu Xi was a little... not too surprised after hearing this. After all, she had long felt that something was wrong with Marco.
But after thinking about it, she didn't think about what Marco could do or what he planned to do. She couldn't convict Marco just by going out in the middle of the night.
So she had no choice but to tell Anne to continue to observe Marco and report what he found out in a timely manner.
"However, the safety of you two should come first." Lu Xi urged. Having seen too many plots in which a witness discovers key evidence and is silenced, it can't help but make people a little worried.
When Anne heard this, she looked at Miss Lucy in shock and emotion. She had met many nobles. It was precisely because she couldn't stand the abominable faces of those nobles that she chose to join the patrol.
Although the patrol team seems to be working for Mayor Sienqi, in fact, it is more like a group of contract workers who are not bound to a force and can leave at any time.
Anne has never seen a kind-hearted aristocratic lady like Miss Lucy. If she is such a Miss Lucy, she is willing to follow her.
"Miss Lucy...can I work with you in the future?" Annie asked carefully.
Lu Xi blinked her eyes. She had gotten used to the number of people under her command recently, and pondered for a moment, "Let's talk about this matter after this period of time has passed."
If the problem of the ice dragon is not solved, everything will be in vain.
Anne had some misunderstandings. She felt that Miss Lucy meant to test her to see how she was doing during this period, for example, whether she could find problems from Marco.
So Anne nodded with high spirits and confidence, "No problem, Miss Lucy, leave this matter to me!"
After Annie left, Lu Xi slowly said, "Huh?"
Marco returned to Xinwa Village in the afternoon. Anne had already been back from Miss Lucy for half a day and seemed to be fine.
However, the suspicious Marco thought about it and decided not to do anything recently. Anyway, he had already finished all the arrangements that needed to be made. He just had to wait for the ice dragon to arrive.
Anne and Lea said what Miss Lucy said, and the two of them agreed that Marco would be their test of allegiance, and cheered up to keep an eye on Marco.
As a result, Marco did nothing for three days in a row, which made the two of them feel particularly depressed.
Lu Xi didn't know this, so he made arrangements as usual. Seeing that the countdown to Binglong's arrival at Lingnan Farm was only six hours, he had people from Xinwa Village gather at Lingnan Farm.
Lu Xi did not tell the group of people in Xinwa Village exactly what happened. After all, they had no other choice. Instead of being frightened and acting inappropriately, it was better to wait in ignorance and peace for the moment of fateful decision.
Everyone was obeying the instructions, packing up their short-term stay, and rushing to Lingxin Farm - they had done it so many times that they had begun to become proficient.
Only Marco quietly took Dofu with him and left Xinwa Village when everyone else was busy and had no time to pay attention to others.
But this hand works well for others. For Anne and Lea, who had been staring at him for three days, their eyes were red, it was like a drought that had been waiting for three years for rain to finally come. Same.
They looked at each other, unable to hide the excitement in their eyes.
The two men were divided into two groups. Lea, who was thick-skinned and fast, was responsible for following Marco to see what he was going to do, while Anne excitedly went to Miss Lucy to report the matter.
Lu Xi glanced at Xiuge and then at Bethem, scratching his head in confusion, "No, he really plans to do something."
But no matter how hard Lu Xi tried, she didn't think Marco could do anything.
This is actually an information gap.
Lu Xi felt that Lingxuan Farm was her golden finger, and it had the game system as a guarantee. In her heart, Lingxuan Farm was not only impregnable, it was definitely as solid as a rock.
There was no thought in my mind that others would destroy the Lingbo Farm... just like a normal person would never think about what to do if the bank's ultra-high-security safe was violently broken.
Then we can only think about this problem from other aspects. What can Marco do? He could also use his own force to hurt the ordinary people in Xinwa Village.
For example, the two teams of guards left in Lingbo Farm, one team is also led by an intermediate elemental warrior, and the other team is led by a low-level elemental mage. Neither one is easy to mess with. The alternatives include Knight Shuge and Granny Rodia. , orc power, and the mute girl Karan, can initiate support at any time.
Marco has no problem with his mind and would not start with this group of people.
As for the original residents of Lingxuan Farm, Lu Xi himself did not have the strength to harm them. Let alone Marco, he could also attack the ordinary people in Xinwa Village.
But the key is, what benefits can he gain by taking action? He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would do something without asking for a price.
Lu Xi ignored one thing - she knew that Lingxuan Farm was impregnable and could not be broken, and the residents of Lingxuan Farm could not be attacked or harmed.
But does Marco know?
In Marco's eyes, especially after being in contact with them for such a long time, he was 100% sure that the residents of Lingbo Farm were "ordinary humans".
Although Marco was a little wary of the presence of the Holy See, he was not prepared to get close to it. Furthermore, after the ice dragon arrived, the other party would need to do its best to maintain the defensive elemental array at Lingbo Farm, and there was no way he would be interested. Just pay attention to him.
A little bit of knowledge from another world. In most farms or human towns, the opening and maintenance of the defensive elemental arrays are all done by people from the Holy See.
Only some regions or families will choose trustworthy elemental mages to take charge.
Because when it comes to "protecting humanity," the Holy See is absolutely trustworthy.
For example, in a different world, a strange member of the Holy See and a relative of yours stand opposite each other, and both say that the other person is planning to harm you, making you choose to trust one person.
The vast majority of people will choose to believe that strange member of the Holy See... provided that the other person is a real member of the Holy See.
Lu Xi didn't have time to think about Marco, because the person responsible for checking the news outside Lingxu Farm had already sent back the news.
"The ice dragon is coming!"
I wanted to write Marco's thoughts more clearly, but I felt that the writing was very confusing.
I feel like writing should focus on the plot and not try to explain too much.
