Compared to his father (Robo of the Order) and grandfather (Black Robo), Priest Luo's current behavior looks more like a good person who abides by the rules. Under the supervision of Baron Ainomu's tax officer representative, he used the ability of the earth shaman to dig up all the gold in the small gold mine with super high efficiency, which can be described as the effect of a cat licking a plate, and professional prospectors all gave a thumbs up. According to the agreement between him and the new baron, a considerable part of this batch of gold was cast into gold coins with extremely high appearance and first-class workmanship, and then transported to the Baron Castle Vault in the town of Ainomu. The new baron needs this hard currency to ballast the bottom and stabilize people's hearts. The hearts of the lower-class cattle and horses are naturally not stable. Serfs are not considered human beings in this era. Free people are the bottom, the last class that the eight virtues of the knights are willing to reach in exchange for a good reputation. What the new baron needs to stabilize is the hearts of the vassals and the dogs who run for the interests of his family. After a period of fermentation, the news that the covetous tried to divide Enom and even dared to borrow the sword of the Northern Barbarians for this purpose has spread. Even the representative of the Order Spire and the second son of Grand Duke Malos came to Ander Town to demand important prisoners, but was ambushed on the way back and barely escaped. This is not something that can be offset by the good news that Baron Enom has a high-level wizard as a vassal and has quickly built a mountain forest barrier for external defense.
After all, both Grand Duke Malos and the Order Spire are high-ranking authoritarian existences. This time the enemy dared to tease even the tiger's whiskers. How can the combat power represented by a high-level wizard alone protect the safety of the territory? But money can. Money can buy warriors, and money can also be the foundation for a comeback. As long as the Enom family has money, even if the territory is lost, they can still live a noble life. What is a noble life? Of course, it's Hu Nu calling for servants, there are enough servants available. If there is a demand for personnel, the stall will not be easily disbanded, so everyone's heart will be put at ease. Whoever you serve is not serving? In the Enom family, a lot of time has been invested, and no one wants to change their master if there is no choice. Therefore, real gold and silver are indeed the ballast stone of the territory. In the past, people were still worried that the territory would be taken away and the gold mine would become one of the fruits of the winner. Now there is no need to worry, people are there, and there are extraordinary people in this world, and there are storage pockets. Unless civilization collapses, real gold and silver will never be a burden. With the gold coins in hand, the new baron and priest Luo did another business. This business, in a simple understanding, can be called land for guards. The new baron is not only willing to turn the vast area around the mining village into priest Luo's fiefdom, but also issued him a pioneering document, which serves as the legal basis for his occupation of the mountainous area. Speaking of the latter, there are some detailed stories. First of all, the northern land ruled by Grand Duke Malos was originally a new land conquered in the past few hundred years. Among them, the dangerous areas were the latest to be developed. It can even be said that many places have not been completely cleared up to this day. Because there are always some places that are relatively useless, with high mountains and dense forests, difficult roads; poor land, unstable access to fresh water resources, etc. These all require in-depth development, and the investment cost is huge. Unless all the good lands are developed, people, including the lower-class people, have no motivation to fight for these lands.
Let's talk about the first lord of Enom. At that time, occupying Enom was also a big risk. As a member of the scattered, blooming, and chess chess, the place he chose was very dangerous. At that time, the full picture of Enom had not been explored, but it was roughly known that there was a piece of land on the other side of the mountain. The best way to get there was between the mountain and the forest, but its overall location was in the northeast corner of the north. This means that if there is a road on the other side, then Enom is a typical isolated place, the salient of the kingdom in the northern border. If the northern barbarians invade, they will not be able to escape. After all, the road in the mountains and forests is not a road, and the traffic rate is low, especially in rainy and snowy days. Not to mention the mud, there are also concerns about mudslides and falling rocks. In this context, the friendly forces are out of reach, and the northern barbarians are riding straight. Is there any way to survive? As a result, the first Baron of Enom, as the guard of Grand Duke Malos, carried forward his style and set an example. When he was awarded according to merit, he stubbornly asked for it, and only found out that he had won the prize afterwards. Grand Duke Malos could not go back on his word, and everyone could only envy him. But the good luck of Baron Enom cannot cover up the fact that the new vassals of Grand Duke Malos each chose an area with relatively good terrain as their territory in the newly opened area, and then included the entire area into the northern area of Grand Duke Malos. After hundreds of years of actual occupation, the empty space between the territories will become the territory of Grand Duke Malos by default. It is not that Grand Duke Malos plays this way with his vassals, but that the kingdom has played this way since ancient times. Now this land has not been cultivated yet, so it is called dangerous territory. After all, it is not uncommon for even the vassal territories to be recaptured and actually occupied by barbarians, not to mention these relatively useless areas that were included in the original. The future belongs to the Grand Duke, and now it can barely be considered a wild area. This gives the new baron's pioneering order room to act. Of course, if Grand Duke Malos insists on being serious, even if he occupies it, he must give some explanation. Generally not, after all, this kind of occupation has high input and low output, and the occupation itself is equivalent to better guaranteeing the mutual exchange of what the vassals have. Compared with the inland nobles who have completed the development and fought for the ownership of every earthen hill and every river ditch, in the border areas, it is more valuable to guarantee the mutual exchange of what the vassals have. Everyone understands that the lips are cold and the teeth are dead, and it is a rigid need to keep warm together. Especially under the background of sufficient external pressure. But that being said, the specific implementation depends on the actual situation. If it is done well, then you are good and I am good, and each party gets what it wants. If it is not done well, then this is a hidden danger. When the Grand Duke Malos family becomes powerful, it can use quality as a priority to make you look bad. Therefore, it is still necessary to communicate with Malos. But this matter must be handled by Baron Enom, which can be regarded as a line laid by the new baron to further bind himself to Priest Luo. Priest Luo did not think so much, not because he lacked that wisdom, but because it was unnecessary. Pastor Luo understands one thing, that is, as long as the position of the leader is stable, then you only need to dig deep in the relevant industry, and there is no need to play diversification or cross-industry. What is considered to be a stable position at the top of the industry? Take the production of a certain product as an example, it is naturally to sell one generation, spare one generation, and research and develop one generation.
As long as you can always maintain the generation gap advantage over similar products in the industry, you will be very stable. You make money from the top, and even the relevant industry rules are made by you. If there is no challenger, the current main product has already made a lot of money. If there is a challenger, you can also use spare products to quickly restore your position and profits. If this pattern is maintained, it means that you are very stable. Only when you are trapped internally and externally, you need to open a new track. For example, if the external competition is too fierce, it means that someone is determined to spend money on technology and channels to compete with you. The internal operating costs are getting higher and higher over time, and the development of new technologies is astronomical, and they will be copied openly and secretly after they are developed. This requires finding a new breakthrough point for benefits, otherwise one day, the so-called century-old brand is likely to collapse. This principle can also be used in life planning. Is it necessary for him to have those tricks and cunning tricks now? There is absolutely no need. Strength is his greatest reliance. He is already one of the people standing at the peak of transcendence. The world is so big that it can't accommodate him? Others have to fight him to death for a little benefit? Is it counted? It can be said that as long as he can guarantee his superior position in strength, many things that are big things for others are like a breeze in front of him, and he can solve them with a backhand. In this case, isn't it a disease to spend your mind on those things that are available and not available? It is better to do more iron work to see if you can go further in your strengths. Therefore, Pastor Luo didn't want those small calculations and happily made a deal with the new baron. There was only one small requirement, that is, the "prisoners" used to build the guards must undergo a second trial. The new baron agreed very readily. Because of the specific operation, not only did Priest Luo not offend his authority, but it was equivalent to helping him establish a glorious image of fairness and strictness. In fact, the specific operation is very simple, that is, potion + hypnosis, let the criminals themselves tell the whole story of the crimes related to being identified as criminals. The slogan issued by the new baron for this is "Don't let a criminal go, and don't wrongly accuse a good person." Priest Luo did not show up, but only provided technical assistance, potions and hypnotic wands. Then the new baron started one of the functions of the lord, judging cases. First in the town of Enom, and then in the town of Ande. This operation not only established the prestige of the new baron among the people, but also enhanced his authority among vassals and personal servants. After all, potion + hypnosis, this set of vassals and servants can't stand it. What if they are used in this way because of some small mistakes and shake out the past crimes? The new baron took the initiative to say that he would not use this kind of extraordinary means easily. After all, this thing also has a cost, and extraordinary things are always expensive.
But not having it and not using it are obviously two different concepts. With this, the deterrent effect was immediately raised, and the vassals and slaves were basically in awe, and no longer had the previous indifference and laziness. Doing so, of course, has a counter-effect. For example, those who really have committed serious crimes are very likely to wish the new baron dead. However, the appearance of the guards basically blocked the loophole that the lord might be murdered. Originally, the new baron bought a batch of parasites and golems to serve as guards and guard the vault. With more free time and extraordinary power, priest Luo created a more advanced swordsman puppet based on the parasites. It doesn't look as oppressive as the heavily armored and bulky parasites, but the wisdom and combat effectiveness have been significantly improved. Let's not talk about combat effectiveness, just talk about this wisdom. He was smart enough to be a personal bodyguard, providing VIP protection for the target around the clock, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, and everything else. With such a personal bodyguard by his side, it would be extremely difficult to kill a baron, let alone a prince with his hatred-attracting ability. Therefore, the new baron not only added two groups of six guards to himself, but also added two guards to each of the two stewards he relied on to manage internal and external affairs, so that they could take turns to protect their safety. As for the original guardian knight, isn't he having an affair with Nefeli? Then he should go and protect Nefeli. This will not only help the two of them, but also win filial piety. How great. So, the new baron actually has no shortage of people who are good at calculating, but even if they are good at calculating, they are not strong enough and it is difficult to implement them. They may even be easily defeated by force. That would be really dangerous. This makes the new baron and those who are loyal to him have to endure. Now the bitterness has paid off, although this happiness needs to be based on the trustworthiness of priest Luo. But this risk is still worth taking. After all, priest Luo's strength determines that he has already stood at a very high position, and it is not worth it to tarnish his reputation for the little benefit of the baron. So, the gap is too big, but it can form a safe pattern worth a gamble. At present, the new baron has made the right bet. Although Nefeli is her biological mother, she is very particular about her children not having what she has, and she is also very filial, supporting her family in various ways, and she loves to be cunning. How great must the new baron be to feel that such a person can always give her motherly love that will not deteriorate? Now that he has finally regained his power and smoothed out the hidden dangers, he can focus on his own growth. As for external worries, he is not afraid of the situation with a master like Priest Luo to suppress it. Priest Luo did not disappoint the new baron's ardent expectations. In less than half a month, he built the Mountain Castle before winter. The fortress uses the five surrounding peaks as super shooting towers and uses barriers to enclose a mountain open space. Its location is just in the middle of the mountain trail that can enter the Enom Territory. A certain generation of Enom Baron actually intended to build a fort here. But the investment is large and the output is low. At the same time, it also shows the second way to enter and exit the Enom Territory on horseback, so after thinking twice, he decided to play blind. But there are indeed hidden dangers here. Like this time, someone was thinking about it.
As a result, priest Luo showed up halfway, and the person who was thinking about it did not use this line. After all, if they took over the mining village through here, they would not be able to mine much gold in a short time, but instead exposed their knowledge of this secret passage, which was not worth the loss. As a result, the opportunity disappeared in a blink of an eye. Priest Luo used the ability of the earth shaman to solve two major problems. The first is the unqualified problem of the five mountains. After reshaping, the outer steepness of the four peaks that serve as super shooting towers has been improved. The wall is thousands of feet high and it is not easy to climb. It is organically integrated with the barrier, which can be said to be a high wall and a dangerous building with strict digging. In addition, the problem of water shortage was solved. Groundwater, pressure wells, water storage towers, and water supply pipes, this set of water immediately changed from no water available to tap water supply. Moreover, with the successful completion of the mountain fortress, the planning of the mining village can also be changed. Specifically divided into underground mining towns and large farms on the ground. Underground mining towns have been developed in full swing with the efforts of the villagers of the original mining village. Just as Priest Luo expected when he transformed these people, they quickly liked underground life, the so-called sweet air. The main problem of the ground part, such as metal dust pollution, is extremely expensive to manage even in modern times. When the mines are exhausted, the locals generally choose to relocate collectively. But the earth shaman can use extraordinary means to absorb the power of metal and neutralize the impact of radiation. The cost is relatively speaking, it is nothing more than Priest Luo treating himself like a cow and horse for a period of time, which he can accept. Another reason is that because it is located in the mountainous area, there are more gravels and less soil, not to mention humus soil. But this is not a problem for the earth shaman either. He can even do three-level screening. The first level is larger stones, which are screened out for building walls and canals. The second level is broken stones, which are screened out for the manufacture of primitive concrete. The third level is sand, which is used to produce mortar, build stoves and plaster walls. What's left is soil, plant ash, feces, and other organic matter that are fermented and made into fertilizer. After being mixed, it may not be fertile soil, but it is feasible for farming. Therefore, Priest Luo opened up a large farm. Including a part of the sloping field first. It can be said that the land newly traded from the baron was developed at one time. And even if the exiled criminals traded with the representative of the Order Spire, Ioanni, cannot arrive in time, relying on the stone golem, it will not delay the spring ploughing next year. Even if he wants, it is feasible to grow greenhouse vegetables and greenhouse rice now. But there is one thing, excessive reliance on supernatural power will inevitably increase his maintenance burden. Therefore, he has to take it easy. He can't tie himself here to become a cow and horse because of his ambition. He doesn't even have supernatural reserves. He can only run away when he encounters a strong enemy. That's disgusting. In fact, there is another reason why he is so anxious to build a large-scale project, which is that he needs to raise the cells of the Old Ones. The special body transformed by the shadow assassin is ready, and only his soul needs to enter it.
Then, using the earth shaman blood talent of the Tatus family, all the major civil engineering projects will be completed. Next, it is time to rest assured and "nurture the fetus". Time is like flowing water. In a blink of an eye, he has been in this world for more than two months. Winter comes early in the north. It is only October when the first snow has already fallen. What is the situation outside, Pastor Luo is too lazy to care. He is so confident that when a friend comes, he has good wine, and when a jackal comes, he has a hunting rifle. That day, he was supervising the stone golems to build a road. A messenger came on horseback, addressed him as "Sir" and respectfully presented a letter. His title is quite interesting. For example, the new baron always calls him "Master", which corresponds to his high-level wizard status, and it is somewhat respectful. The two stewards who are the new baron's right-hand men often call him "Sir Tatus", which is a subtle reminder that he is a vassal of Enom. The people of Ander Town are used to calling him "Sir", which is also a reminder that although he is always out of sight, he is the garrison commander of Ander Town after all. The road being built now leads from the Furbers Farm named after him to Ander Town. The specific paving specifications are also simple, flat, compacted, and then use slabs if there are slabs, and gravel if there are none. Anyway, use local materials, and set up wooden fences in some places to prevent rolling stones and the spread of shrubs. Even in the freezing cold, the stone golems can repair such a road. But they are not smart enough and need a guard-level parasite to keep an eye on them. Priest Luo was free anyway, so he came out to guide the work in person. As a result, the letter was delivered to the construction site, and there was no need to go to the Phobos Farm. Priest Luo took a look at the wax seal logo and confirmed that it came from the Order Spire. He had never seen this logo before, but the shape of the Mage Tower was very recognizable, and the letter was protected by magic, so it was self-evident where it came from. The letter was written by Ioanni. The general meaning was that he had gathered the people who traded fire mages, no more and no less, but now there was a problem. First, the road was blocked by heavy snow. Second, according to unreliable news, someone was going to take action on this batch of goods. So Ioanni meant that he could come to meet them in person. Priest Luo smiled, shook his hand, and activated his extraordinary power, and the letter spontaneously burned to ashes. Once the letter burned, Ioanni would feel it soon, which meant that he agreed. Pastor Luo could imagine that someone must be adding drama here. This trip would not be smooth for him, and the territory might not be peaceful. But he was not afraid. In the past two months, he has been consolidating his own strength, not just busy with construction. For example, he set up a circle of boundary stones around the inner diameter of Enom Territory. This thing is simple to make, it connects to the power of the earth veins below, corresponds to the sun, moon and stars above, and interacts with the extraordinary factors in the surrounding nature in a benign manner, and always works. With the existence of these boundary stones, once there are extraordinary people or small forces entering Enom through non-Taoist ways such as forests, the guards will get the information through the array system.
And as long as there is this advance intelligence, even ordinary border territories can launch a series of preventive measures in time, not to mention that Enom Territory now has a group of stone golems, parasitic heavy infantry, and elite guard swordsmen. As for him to go to meet, he can go by himself. The body used now has no earth shaman's extraordinary profession, and the life mage is also affected, with half the effort and twice the result, and is no longer suitable. But the psychic warrior relies on his soul characteristics and related combat skills experience. It can be said that it is a soul-bound profession and will always be there. In addition, due to the need to nurture the genes of the Old Ones, it is indeed equivalent to occupying an extraordinary position. A certain amount of extraordinary power and mental power must be consumed every day, but there is still an extraordinary vacancy that can be used. This vacancy, combined with the shadow's dark bloodline at the moment, and the influence of the law set from the cult Robo Biochemical Avenue, easily gave birth to the soul witch, a niche advancement of the necromancer. Pastor Luo firmly believes that the means of this extraordinary profession are enough to give some unexpected surprises to those troublemakers who have worked hard to collect relevant information about him before.
