Chapter 384: Ripening the Fat Bear

Crown asked, "How is the construction of the castle's main fort going?"

There is only a month left until winter, and the main castle must be completed before the cold winter comes.

Eliza said, "Most of it has been completed, but the main problem is that there is a shortage of building materials. You requested that the main fort be built with magic-breaking metal stained with golden light, which has affected the progress of the project."

The craftsmen built at a very fast speed, but the raw materials restricted the speed of completion.

"We must speed up the process. I will find a way to solve the material problem. I will bury the magic array after the construction of the main fort is completed."

There are 100,000 pounds of qualified fine iron bricks stored in Crown's Fire Cube, which can be used. In addition, his ability to use golden light to dye metal is far superior to others, so he can participate in the raw material manufacturing.

There are several sets of cornerstones for the Yuepo Lingguang Array, and he plans to take out one set to set up in his mansion.

Eliza nodded. "If the material problem is solved, things will be easy. Now the craftsmen are building the city walls. These are ordinary walls that cannot defend against powerful monsters, which increases the workload of our guards."

"It's time to increase the number of guards," said Crown. "How is our financial situation?"

He decided to take out a certain proportion of the Dao Zhong Armed Guard members in the future. Although the extraordinary level of these people was not high enough, they were his direct forces.

Although Flanders, Plimpton, Audrey and others can provide more proficiency, they are not his subordinates, but more like allies. In addition, the distance is far, and if an emergency occurs, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.

Therefore, training people like Del is his future strategic direction.

He is still considering the specific plan, which must ensure the improvement of his own extraordinary level while also cultivating his own power.

Otherwise, he would have to do everything himself if anything happened, which would be a terrible experience.

"Very good. The Golden Light Potion and the Pure Heart Potion are in short supply. We can obtain Golden Spirit Coins through purification every day. In addition to the blacksmith shop and other related industries, even though our expenses are not small, we can still have a surplus of 40 to 50 Golden Spirit Coins every day.

Those who obtained the Golden Light Dao Seed could earn a few Golden Spirit Coins every day, and the debts owed by Luo Lin and others had been paid off.

A few days ago, William and I checked the accounts. We currently have more than 15,000 gold spirit coins in reserve, and various materials are worth about 8,000 gold spirit coins."

Eliza paused, picked up a document and handed it over, then said, “According to the document Nick sent, the birth rate of urban residents has greatly increased, and the population has grown explosively. In a few years, the urban area will not be able to accommodate so many people.

He proposed to expand the city, and the investment for the expansion would be provided by our two families. What do you think? "

Crown took the document, glanced through it, and said:

"I want to hear your opinion."

He doesn't understand things like investment and returns, otherwise he wouldn't have been a poor loser in his previous life. He bought stocks and became a shareholder, but he got stuck when he bought funds. He even lost everything from an old hen to little chicks. It's all tears to talk about it.

"Based on my experience, this type of investment is a stable source of income in the long term, but only if Hammers City continues to prosper.

As long as the city is stable and the population base is larger, the greater the return on investment will be.

I have confidence in you. With you in charge of Hamers, the security here is not much weaker than that of the Holy See.

In addition, I have seen the drawings of the protective magic circle. The city was originally designed with this situation in mind, and the range of the magic circle can completely cover the new urban area.

We only need to invest in ordinary buildings, and there is no financial pressure on us."

After hearing this, Crown nodded, signed his name on the document, and stamped it with his seal.

A short separation is better than a new marriage. After enjoying dinner, the two went back early to "rest".

In the early morning, even after spending half the night making love, Crown still got up refreshed.

He walked into the yard and surveyed the actual situation in the mansion. Billy, his personal butler, followed behind him, holding a small notebook and recording his every order.

"Move this osmanthus tree and transplant it to the other side of the courtyard wall."

Clown put his hands behind his back and nodded seriously: "Did you remember that?"

As long as the servants finish what he has told them to do, they can start setting up the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array.

"Sir, I've written it down," Billy said, looking at the notebook and quickly assessing the workload.

"These jobs are relatively simple and can be completed before evening."

"Well, I'll give you one day. I want to see a brand new yard tomorrow morning."

He looked at Billy and said gently, "Not bad, you actually have the strength of a second-level transcendent."

Billy smiled shyly and responded, "The spiritual concentration of the world is constantly increasing, and the overall environment is favorable. More importantly, I have enjoyed more conveniences following Your Excellency. All my income has been used to buy various extraordinary potions. There is nothing to be proud of with such an improvement."

Crown was very satisfied with his answer. The other party was serious about his work and took good care of the trained animals. He was a down-to-earth and hardworking person, and was willing to use the time that others used to rest to improve himself.

Judging from the results, the other party's extraordinary aptitude is above average. If there are extra Golden Light Dao Seeds, I will consider giving one to him.

Clown patted the other person's shoulder with a friendly expression: "Work hard, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, there will be good rewards."

Even though the other party was his personal valet, his salary was not much, and it was very expensive to buy extraordinary potions, so he must have spent all his income on himself.

Billy's face flushed with excitement. He had been working hard to get the bishop's approval, and now the other party saw it! He clenched his fist and put it on his chest, and said solemnly: "I will work harder."

Coming from an ordinary background, he deeply understands that it is not working hard until you see hope that leads to hope, but persisting in working hard to see hope.

Crowne got off the carriage and heard the sound of clanging hammering coming from the blacksmith shop. To others, the sound was monotonous and harsh, but to him it sounded somewhat familiar.

He walked into the blacksmith shop and the apprentice in charge of reception immediately came up to him:

"Bishop, you are here! Please come to the guest room and sit down. I will go and ask Director Del to come."

Crown waved his hand: "Don't bother. Where is Del? I'll go find him."

"Uh, please follow me."

The apprentice led the way to the door of the advanced forging room and said:

"Lord Del is forging weapons in there."

"You go and get busy," Crown pushed open the door, and inside was filled with hot mist. He saw Del forging an evil-killing weapon made of Valyrian steel.

The other party was so focused that he didn't notice his arrival at all.

He saw that the forging had entered the final stage, so he did not disturb the other party, but observed the other party's movements with interest.

Practice makes perfect. The other party has been working in the forging field for many years and his skills are trustworthy. In his opinion, Del's level has reached the top of the third order.

If you can go one step further, you can try to forge more sophisticated equipment. In the normal circle, this can be considered a gifted person.

After more than ten minutes, Del stopped hammering and flicked the sword with his fingers, and the weapon made a crisp clanging sound.

He practiced breathing techniques, infusing the source of life into the weapon, and golden lines appeared on the silver surface of the sword.

After making a quick sword dance, he said narcissistically, "My skills are getting better and better."

Crown applauded at the right time and jokingly echoed, "Congratulations, Mr. Del."

Del suddenly turned around, his face turned red, and he said timidly:

"Bishop, why didn't you say hello when you came?"

He felt ashamed of what he had just said. He felt socially devastated.

Clown laughed a few more times and said seriously:

"How many evil-killing weapons can you refine every day? Has Rubart learned how to forge evil-killing weapons?"

Del smiled awkwardly, his ability was not as good as the bishop's.

“If someone else does the other processes for me, I can forge a sword or a hammer every day, or forge a shield in three days.

Rubart has also learned to forge evil-killing weapons, but his level is a little lower than mine. The two of us can already meet the needs of Rhine City."

Crown nodded with satisfaction. He could now leave the matters of the blacksmith shop to him without any worries. He could handle most of the forging work.

He changed the subject and asked, "Are there enough refined iron ingots in the warehouse?"

He had to personally use the golden seal to dye enough iron bricks.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Del said, "The warehouse is already full of materials. The output of the Hammers Mine is not enough. I contacted other mines to send a batch. Madam said that we need to speed up the construction of the castle."

"Take me to the warehouse."

The two came to the warehouse, and Crown first put away a batch of iron ingots to make room, and then released the fire cube.

All the fine iron stored by Yu Ling was released and cut into standard brick and stone sizes. These were all magic-breaking metals that were completely imprinted with golden light.

If a castle is built with this material, spirits such as evil spirits will not be able to get close at all, and it also has very strong physical and elemental defenses.

Yu Ling stored 100,000 pounds of fine iron ingots, but only a little more than one cubic meter, less than one thousand iron bricks, was released, so there was still a big gap in the construction of the main castle.

However, with Crown's current ability, deliberately using the golden light seal to smudge the metal is very fast.

Del and the others had to dye the iron bricks one by one, and those with better skills could dye two bricks at the same time, but the aura range of the golden seal released by Clown could cover a hundred bricks, so the efficiency was incomparable.

The improvement in the level of extraordinary people not only brings an increase in strength, but also allows them to produce far more than ordinary people.

The morning passed, and Crown spared no expense, expending a large amount of Sunfire Liquid to release the Golden Light Seal, and completed the work of shading about 10,000 iron bricks.

Crown nodded, saying that these things were enough and the main castle could be completed.

At noon, when he returned to the mansion for lunch, he told Eliza:

"There are already enough materials in the blacksmith shop to build the castle. Send someone to bring the materials to the castle this afternoon to complete the subsequent construction."

"It was resolved so quickly?"

Eliza's eyes widened. She knew very well how much materials a group of Dao Seed holders had accumulated in more than two months.

Clown took a sip of the red wine and smiled faintly:

"Think about how big the gap is between my current strength and yours. This little bit of efficiency is nothing."

After lunch, Crown found a small bowl made of warm jade and poured a few drops of sun essence into it.

He picked up the bowl and went to the animal pen at the back of the yard, where Arcturus had to stay because of his large size.

The giant northern bear with snow-white fur was as tall as two normal people when it stood up. The big bear lowered its head affectionately, rubbing its huge head against its master's body.

"Open your mouth."

The big bear opened its mouth obediently, and Crown poured the sun's essence into its mouth.

He wanted to use the sun's essence to speed up the bear cub's growth and allow it to advance to the silver level as soon as possible.

The castle is about to be completed, but the defense of the city wall is too poor. He plans to use trained animals to help patrol the castle. The big bear's strength is not good enough, so he needs to be "ripened quickly".

Arcturus swallowed the sun essence, and a psychedelic golden color flashed in his eyes. Even his fur flashed golden, like a giant bronze bear.

The strange phenomenon disappeared quickly. The big bear roared, stood up, and suddenly slammed its paw heavily on the ground.

"Bang!" The ground shook violently, and the Northern Giant Bear felt as if he had endless power.

Crown didn't dare to feed too much semen at one time, so he planned to feed it every few days, five drops each time.

If Arcturus advances to the silver level, he will soon enter maturity and his body shape will be fixed. He will need to start making a set of armor for the northern giant bear.

He had done relevant research on this matter a long time ago and had an idea in mind. Once the big bear's body shape was fixed, he would start making armor.

He had already thought of the material for the armor, using hard refined gold as the main material and coating it with a layer of iron essence.

After returning to the mansion in the evening, Crown had dinner and began to visualize the Golden Light Mantra with his wife.

Eliza spent her daytime practicing the Savage Bone Breathing Technique. Since she didn't have the corresponding secret medicine, her progress was not very fast. It would take some time for her to reach the standard of practicing the Silver Dragon's Howling Moon.

Crown visualized the full moon shining on his body, and the room was lit up with white moonlight like water. There was no conversation that night.

The next day, Crown's biological clock woke him up on time. When he walked out of the room, it was five in the morning and Billy was already waiting at the door.

As a valet, Billy was very competent.

"Find a few guards and go to the alchemy laboratory to move out six large white jade pillars and thirty-six small white jade pillars. I'll be waiting for you in the yard."

"Okay, Bishop, please wait a moment."

Crown walked into the yard. It was late autumn and it was still dark outside at this time. He could see the sacred flame lit on the bell tower in the distance.

He closed his eyes and summoned a wall of gold.

[Golden Light Mantra: 238576/500000; Level 5] (Diagram of Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array.)

Even though he had studied it many times and knew the contents of the array by heart, he would still take it out to review it.

He found that if you put a lot of energy into something, you will have new insights when you look back on it after a period of time.

He didn't have to wait long. Billy ordered the guards on night watch to move out the cornerstones of the magic circle and stack them neatly next to Clown.

"Bishop, everything has been moved here. Do you have any other instructions?"

Crown closed the golden wall and opened his eyes:

"Just follow my instructions and bury these cornerstones at the designated locations. There must not be any mistakes in the orientation."
