Chapter 218 Rapidly Improving Spirit Controlling Technique
After leaving the training ground, Crown returned to the forge.
The sparring with the Archbishop just now made him realize how big the gap is between himself and the Silver Level. The opponent suppressed him in all directions with just a shield.
Only by casting time stop can you have a chance to create conditions for your attack. If the opponent is wearing armor, then even if you have a chance to attack the opponent's body, you will not be able to cause effective damage.
As for the Silver Soul that the Archbishop valued most, he did not envy it because he now had the Will of Light as a substitute.
After knowing the scenery ahead, he had new expectations. He first worked hard to reach the silver rank and stand at the highest point in this world.
Before this, Crown had never sparred with Flanders, but the gap between the opponent and Cavendish was not that big.
He has a clear understanding of his current strength, and he is currently considered to be at the top among the third-level transcendents.
Compared to others, the Golden Light Spell gave him a deeper foundation. Whether in terms of strength, speed, physique or soul strength, he was much stronger than a normal third-level transcendent.
Although the battle with the Archbishop just now was very short, it was extremely exhausting. Both the Source Armor and Fire Spirit Transformation skills consume a lot of physical strength.
Crown rested for a while and planned how to spend the rest of his days.
The fire breath needs to be assisted by the molten fire potion, otherwise the efficiency is too slow. The potions he refines plus the quota of the fire fighter can only meet the needs for half a month at most.
The rest of the time is spent on visualizing the Golden Light Mantra and devouring the metal essence, and using the abilities of the Rubik's Cube more often to quickly increase the level of the Fire Cube.
The position of the Rubik's Cube Spirit Control is rather awkward now. It is not needed against ordinary enemies, and it is not very useful against stronger enemies.
He planned to raise his spirit master level to the third level to see how much his combat power could be increased. If the improvement was not significant, all his energy would be focused on the Golden Light Curse.
In his opinion, the skill of the Golden Light Spell is more towards the spell side. It is very effective against evil spirits, but it does not cause enough damage against mutated beasts and monsters.
After setting small goals for the future, Crown visualized the Golden Light Mantra to restore his energy.
When he was almost recovered, he went to the place where the metal ingots were stored and released the gold-eating ability of the Fire Cube.
He found that after the spirit was purified, the speed of absorbing metal essence increased greatly.
It may be that when the ability was used in the past, most of the spiritual power was consciously intercepted by the evil spirit to strengthen itself. Now that the thieving parasites have been killed, the efficiency has of course been significantly improved.
The essence of the fine iron ingots was quickly devoured in his hands, and with a little force, they turned into a pile of waste slag.
He was like an intelligent machine, without any unnecessary movements of his hands, he continuously picked up the fine iron ingots and absorbed the essence. He found that he could swallow thousands of pounds of fine iron ingots in an hour.
Using the gold-eating ability not only trained the capabilities of the Fire Cube, but also improved his proficiency in spirit control. He spent the entire afternoon devouring the essence of iron.
Bruce occasionally glanced over and marveled in his heart. Although he had seen it many times before, he was always curious to see the fine iron ingots quickly turn into black slag.
All afternoon, Crown was busy devouring the metal essence.
When it was time to get off work, he released his armor-forming ability and found that the essence of iron was able to cover his palms and most of his forearms.
"hey-hey"
Clown smiled cheerfully and thought: "According to this efficiency, the wish of a full body armor will surely be achieved within a month."
In this way, he would be more confident in facing the pioneering task of building a sanctuary.
With a golden glow in his eyes, he summoned a wall of gold.
[Spirit Controlling Technique: 1728/7000; Level 2]
Nearly 400 proficiency points were gained in the afternoon, and the spirit-controlling technique could be completed before the pioneering mission.
. . . .
The gray fog had returned to the sky. The study at 36 Baker Street was brightly lit.
There is special incense burning on the desk, and the faint mint scent spreads in the room. Smelling this fragrance can lift your spirits.
Crown took out a map and placed it on the coffee table, then extended his hand and said, "Sit down, let's discuss something."
Del and the two butlers sat down carefully.
"After a while, I will leave Rhine City and go to another parish. I would like to hear your opinions on what kind of industry would be most suitable in a new parish."
William's face lit up and he asked, "Sir, are you the head of this parish?"
As a butler, his current job is too leisurely and he cannot appreciate his own value at all.
He only needs to allocate food for the family and does not need to coordinate even basic social activities, let alone manage the family's financial property and industries.
Now that the head of the family took the initiative to ask about the industry, he felt that his expertise had found its place.
If the head of the family is the overall person in charge of the parish, there will be a lot of room for maneuver.
“I will be one of the responsible persons, and there will be two other bishops with me. I will not interfere in church affairs.
For some reason, the church allocated me a piece of land. I want you to make a rough plan on how to use this land. The specific matters need to be decided after the on-site survey. "
“Where is this new parish located, and what resources are there around it?”
William asked, pulling out a pen and a small notebook from his pocket.
Clown pointed at a circle on the map and said:
"Here, in the Hammers Mine, about 80 kilometers northwest of the city."
Mineral resources bring considerable profits, and industry requires large amounts of metals, so the church chose to open up sanctuaries near mines.
The Hammers Mine is not the best among the surrounding mining areas, but because it has only been mined for more than ten years, the reserves are still very rich.
The main reason why Clown chose this place was that jade was produced here, and he wanted to stockpile more Taiyin Leizhuan.
He paused and continued, "We will build a large castle on the mountain as a shelter, and at the same time build an ordinary castle at the entrance of the mine to be responsible for the mining of minerals.
In addition, the outskirts of the castle will be cleared for food planting. The advantage of the gray fog is that any crops planted will grow well. "
William's pen rustled as he recorded the information. He then asked, "How big is the castle and how many people does it govern?"
The size of the population will also determine the business model, which will ultimately determine what kind of industry can generate greater profits.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Only if he creates more value for the master of the family can he get more rewards. Just relying on the fixed salary of a housekeeper, he will not be able to accumulate much wealth in his lifetime.
"The core area of the Sanctuary will have 20,000 to 30,000 people, but it will continue to expand outward. You should have heard that the human population will increase rapidly, and the new Sanctuary may also develop into a large city."
Clown added silently in his heart: "Only if this sanctuary can continue to exist."
Since deciding to expand outward, the church has stepped up its intelligence gathering efforts in the current area.
Everyone has discovered that without human interference, the outside world has completely become a paradise for wild animals.
Fast-growing plants supported more herbivores, and the number of carnivores increased.
Most of these beasts are ferocious in nature, and herbivores are no exception.
Something even more terrifying was discovered: humans who were stranded in the wild for various reasons developed villages.
They live like beasts, but are more cunning and powerful than beasts.
There are countless monsters and evil spirits roaming around at night, and killing is happening on the earth every moment.
To establish a new shelter, we must first face such a dangerous environment.
Melissa said: “It’s a completely blank market, and we have the advantage of being a manager, and there are so many industries to choose from.
However, we still need to observe the composition of the initial immigrants before we can determine the industrial layout.”
William added, "Yes. In addition, I also need to know how much financial resources you can provide to support your industrial layout, so that I can make better use of the money."
When it comes to investing, you must leave enough operating funds. Otherwise, if you spend too much and don’t have a steady stream of financial returns, it will collapse soon.
He has witnessed many cases where an industry seemed to be able to make money, but investors expanded the business too much and ended up losing a lot.
"My starting capital is 20,000 gold spirit coins."
"Twenty thousand gold spirit coins?"
The two stewards exclaimed at the same time. Such a huge amount of funds was completely beyond their expectations.
'How come the bishop is so rich? Where does he get all that money?'
This is a common question in the minds of the two butlers. Many large families would not have accumulated so much after many years.
"This is a loan given to me by the Sith family. I have to pay it back in ten years."
Klauen understood that this was also a gesture of goodwill from the Sith family, and should be an affirmation of his own strength.
The other party believes that he has the ability to become a silver-level extraordinary person. After all, he is still so young. In more than a year, he has become a third-level extraordinary person from an ordinary person. It is worth the investment.
"However, we are going to build a forging workshop and a small arsenal. These two are essential."
Crown emphasized that the forging workshop was to satisfy his need to devour the essence of metal, while the arsenal was to develop better firearms.
The wild environment means that the sanctuary will inevitably face the impact of wild beasts and monsters. If some Maxim heavy machine guns are installed on the castle walls, dealing with flesh and blood creatures will be a piece of cake.
The archbishop once said that evil gods can invade the minds of ordinary people and turn them into monsters full of murderous desires. More advanced weapons may cause greater damage to humans themselves.
His idea was to completely fix the heavy weapons on the city wall so that they could not be moved, and then customize an automatic shooting "program" from the Guild of Strange Objects.
Evil gods can pollute people's minds, but they should not be able to pollute mindless programs, right?
In this way, the danger can be reduced a lot, and the benefits will outweigh the disadvantages.
Crown made a decision: "You guys will be responsible for planning the other industries, and we will decide which specific plan to use when we get to the place."
