Chapter 200 The Magical Uses of Magic
In the past few days, the residents of Swamp Town all knew that the knights under the new lord were clearing out dangerous places in the territory.
They may have volunteered to deliver intelligence about dangerous areas to Swamp Castle for their own safety or to enjoy the pleasure of having noble knights serve them.
Redar responded positively to the enthusiasm of the people.
On the one hand, he arranged for the new Grado to record all these dangerous places. On the other hand, he divided the knights into three teams, led by himself, Joffrey, and Rogna to check these places one by one.
By mobilizing the masses in this way, aimless sweeps became precise strikes.
In the past few days, apart from other things, there was a lot more meat in Swamp Castle, among which crocodile meat and green python meat were the most, which made the knights and guards feast their mouths.
As for materials such as crocodile skin and snake skin, the value was limited, Ronin did not ask again, and Redar distributed them according to military merit.
It may be because Lei Sen also carried out a cleanup during his tenure as the Baron of Swamp Town, so the knights did not find any traces of monsters in the areas where the people around the town often moved.
Although the harvest was limited, this operation left the impression of "people-friendly" in the hearts of the people, greatly deepening the people's favorability towards the new lord.
As a lord, Ronin was not idle either. He invested in the "evaporation project".
In the past two days, Wilson and Serin have planned and divided the work of the people. Some people are responsible for farming, and some are responsible for digging fertilizer.
Some areas can be mined directly, but some areas need to be properly drained before they want to mine organic fertilizer.
This is not only a labor-intensive job, but also very time-consuming.
It is now late January, and spring plowing is imminent, and what is lacking is time.
So Ronin thought of a simple but efficient way-using the high temperature brought by fire magic to properly evaporate the water.
Since Luo Ning broke through and became a great magician, he has been learning new magic. Now he has mastered the fourth-level magic flame light column.
This is a spell that can last up to ten seconds. It can not only bring huge high temperatures, but also has the characteristics of covering a wide range.
Luo Ning looked at the wetland in front of him. Below was the muddy soil and covered with water. This was the area he needed to evaporate next.
At this time, his mental power was carving the spell pattern of the flame light column more than ten meters in front of him.
Only after being promoted to a great magician can you cast spells at a distance, and as Luo Ning began to add points to the magician level, it seems that the casting distance has also been slightly improved.
He has cast the flame light column magic countless times and has long been familiar with it.
As the spell pattern is carved, the magic power of the mana space is quickly drawn away, and the spell pattern lights up with red light to absorb the fire elements between the surrounding heaven and earth. With a hum, a huge flame light column rises out of thin air on the water surface.
Swish~
When fire and water come into contact, the extremely high temperature directly evaporates the water, bringing thick water vapor and blocking the sight in front of him.
However, Ronin did not need to observe anything, he just had to maintain this spell.
After ten seconds, the spell pattern rippled for a while, and then quickly dissipated, and at the same time the flame disappeared in the air.
After the wind blew away all the fog, the water floating on the surface in front of him had been completely evaporated, and even the ground seemed to be dry.
However, if mining is carried out, digging up the upper ground, there is still wet silt underneath.
"It's really efficient!"
Ronin was very satisfied with this effect. He now really hoped that there was another magician with fire attribute in the territory, so that he could let the other party serve as the "swamp mining captain".
It's a pity that in addition to him, the remaining three magicians in the territory have one light attribute and the other two are water attributes.
"However, it is said that water magicians can control water flow when they reach level 5, so this can also help drain the swamp, right?"
That being said, becoming a level 5 chief magician is not an easy thing.
Take Jenny for example. Although I heard from Rydar that she has recently shown signs of a breakthrough, even if she successfully becomes a senior magician, she will be 34 years old.
To be honest, her talent for cultivation is not low, but she needs at least 30 years to become a chief magician.
In comparison, her daughter Irene will definitely be better. If she practices well, she may become a level 5 magician before she is 30 years old.
But it still takes more than ten years.
In more than ten years, this shining swamp should not have been fully developed, and perhaps Irene can still use her skills.
"My lord~"
A cavalryman galloped over, "Chahar asked me to come and inform you that Mr. Anthony from the Horse City has brought people to transport the slaves."
Luo Ning's eyes lit up, he jumped on the cloud-stepping horse and returned to the castle.
"Since you are here, why bring any gifts?"
"Hahaha, congratulations on becoming the Viscount of Wubei Territory, please don't despise these little things."
In the swamp castle, Ronin shook hands with Anthony enthusiastically.
This time, the other party not only brought slaves, but also some crystal carvings, books and stationery, as well as more than a dozen bows and thousands of arrows.
Although the value is only more than a hundred gold coins, less than one-tenth of what Ronin spent on the other party, it is not a small amount. At least Anthony knows how to do business.
The other party should be able to see that Wubei Territory needs to develop, and development requires manpower, and there is a shortage of manpower here.
From the last two transactions, Anthony did not think that Roning was short of money, and now that he has become the Viscount of Wubei Territory, this is even more so.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Viper Slave Trade, Roning is a high-quality big customer.
It is necessary to use a hundred gold coins to maintain the relationship with the big customer.
Sure enough, in the next conversation, Roning revealed that he needed to buy slaves, which made Anthony overjoyed.
There is no way, there are not many ways to obtain population. Although buying slaves costs a little money, it is the fastest way to get people.
Although Roning knows that this is immoral and deprives humans of their basic rights and dignity, he can only adapt to the local customs and use this method.
The only thing he can do is to be nice to these slaves, let them eat well and work for him, and then give them a way to escape their fate.
"Let's buy two thousand slaves this time."
Ronin thought for a moment and reported a number, "But I have another deal to do with you."
Anthony's heart was already full of joy. Since the order was negotiated last year, his status in the Viper Slave Exchange has risen.
Today, not only did he negotiate another big order, but he also had other deals to do, which really made him overjoyed.
"Sir, please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do my best to complete it for you!"
Ronin nodded and said, "Actually, I mainly want to talk to you about this matter, not to the slave exchange behind you."
"Me?"
Anthony blinked, not understanding what Ronin meant. (End of this chapter)
