Chapter 243 243. Northern Territory Phase II, the Goal of the Population Census
Under the spotlight.
Croix had a calm expression and spoke slowly.
"The first thing is about you foreign guests. I can tell you now that Golden Apple Paradise will remain open in the future.
However, if you want to rest in the Golden Apple Paradise for a long time, you need to pay magic crystals as a price. The specific price list will be announced in each Warcraft and Magic Plant store. "
As soon as these words were spoken, the people who had been anxiously waiting in the audience finally relaxed completely.
They had actually been worried for a long time.
During these two months, they deeply experienced the benefits of the Golden Apple Paradise - they could conduct magical experiments at will, have various unimaginable life experiences, and the kind of comfortable daily life that could never be experienced in the outside world.
The more harsh and difficult the environment, the more the benefits of the Golden Apple Paradise are reflected. They are even unable to leave the Golden Apple Paradise and regard it as their daily resting place.
Many people have asked the staff at the Golden Apple Park openly or secretly, but have not received an accurate answer.
This feeling of being suspended in the air is really painful.
Now, the owner of the Golden Apple Paradise finally gave an accurate answer, and they cheered all of a sudden.
"Very good!"
“Thank you for your gift!”
“I’m going to enjoy it!!”
The cheers grew louder and louder, almost blowing the roof off.
Seeing how much they loved their Golden Apple Paradise, Croa smiled delicately.
This is not only an income from magic crystals, but can also speed up the process of transforming the God Messenger Moss, which is really killing two birds with one stone.
Both parties feel that they have gained an advantage, which is a win-win situation.
After Kloya gently pressed down his palm to signal them to stop, he continued: "The second and third areas of the Golden Apple Paradise will be open. Please explore them on your own for the specific situation.
In order to repay everyone for their love for Golden Apple Paradise, the next time you enter Golden Apple Paradise, no matter how long you stay there, you will receive a gift I personally prepared."
His tone rose slightly, and he smiled, "As for what the specific gift is, please explore it on your own."
"Now, please leave in an orderly manner."
He just gave a look and the apprentices immediately took action, began to evacuate in an orderly manner and took these people on an ultra-long-distance space teleportation array to leave Hanjiao Island.
These people were indeed a little impatient to learn about the specific details of entry, so they just followed the apprentices and left without any trouble.
Croa watched quietly, observing everyone leave, and the once bustling place became empty and silent.
But it wasn't long before the apprentices came back.
They still sat down in their seating order, looking at Cloya with admiration in their eyes, just like elementary school students waiting for their teacher to give a lecture.
The long-standing tacit understanding did not require Kloya to explain too much. They knew that the next meeting time would be on Hanjiao Island.
"Before I announce the second thing, I have to commend some people first."
Under the apprentices' admiring gazes, his tone softened: "Jamie."
Jamie, who was called, stood up immediately, but he was obviously a little excited and uneasy, with his hands clenched tightly.
"Relax a little."
Croix casually cast a calming spell.
"You are the first person in our Hanjiao Island to successfully carry out infrastructure construction outside. Mifeiyin has handed the signed contract to me.
This contract could bring in hundreds of thousands of magic crystals, and it was the first one.
So I want to reward you and all the apprentices who go to the Gray Desert. Your reward will be a little special. I hope you will like it. "
He began to draw on the side with his mental power, and soon formed a simple space magic circle, although looking at the magic patterns inside, he used it directly once.
But, once is enough.
As the light inside the space magic circle began to flicker, Jamie's heart suddenly began to pound, as if something very important was about to happen.
The facts were exactly as he thought.
A thin figure appeared in the space magic circle.
She was a woman who was about twenty years old, but her face was a little sallow and her body was as thin as a stubbornly growing branch.
When she appeared, she covered her mouth with a dazed look on her face. Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, forming a strip of light on her sallow face.
Jamie's eyes suddenly widened and he cried out, "Sister!"
He no longer cared about staying calm in front of his fellow apprentices and Croa, and simply ran forward.
All the apprentices on the road made way in unison and moved away the chairs that might block Jamie, watching with smiles as this usually steady elder brother rushed up to the podium.
Relatives reunite, this is a reunion of relatives!
They were all genuinely happy and delighted for Jamie.
But when Jamie actually arrived in front of the woman, he hesitated and subconsciously looked in the direction of Cloya, his eyes full of anticipation and undisguised nervousness.
As a magician, his blood connection was extremely sharp, but he still subconsciously wanted to get an answer from Cloya.
"She is indeed your sister." Kloya said, "It took me a lot of effort to find her in a small territory in the east. This is the reward I want to give you."
After saying that, Kloya suddenly blinked his eyes and said, "Go ahead. I'll give you another reward. During this period of rest, make all preparations for your sister!"
——This means you should take your sister to show off as soon as possible!
This is truly a glorious homecoming. What could be more joyful and delightful than this?
Jamie choked up, bowed deeply, and then took his sister away - of course there was no need to thank her, he knew Chloe's usual style, and the best way to thank her was for her to continue working hard.
Watching Jamie leave, Chloe let out a sigh of relief.
To be honest, it's really difficult to find someone.
If the Phantom Feather Cloud Snake, which was searching for its own clan, had not accidentally sensed the presence of Sister Jamie's aura, he would have cast a spell to look for her and would never have found her.
The world is simply too big. Even if he is already a fifth-level wizard, using magic to find someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But the ending is indeed good.
He turned around with satisfaction and found that many apprentices had red eyes and were staring at him closely, with more or less desire in their eyes.
Croa: “…”
If he doesn't understand what this means, then he is stupid.
"There are so many people, how can I continue to look for people... I have to find a way to transform a monster."
His mind raced, and he did not mention this matter first, but distributed rewards to the other apprentices who followed Jamie to the Gray Desert.
Then he said, "I know many of you have also lost track of your loved ones. I will help you."
With just this simple sentence, the apprentices' hearts immediately calmed down, and they no longer had that urgent desire to see their loved ones.
Because they knew: As long as Croa agreed, he would definitely be able to do it. In their hearts, their lord was omnipotent.
The almighty Croa cleared his throat.
“The second thing is that the first phase of the road built by Jamie has been completed, and the second phase of the road needs to be built next.
My request is to extend the first phase of the road into small paths leading to various villages and territories.
And a census will be conducted, and every person, from a newborn baby to a dying old man, will be recorded.”
He glanced down and asked, "Who is willing to take over this task?"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of people raised their hands. These people were all capable of carrying out road construction and population census work.
After all, if they accepted the mission and failed to perform it well, not to mention whether Croix would hold them accountable, their companions would spit at them.
"Nina, go ahead." Croa pointed at someone at random and said, "Form a team freely. I will send the magic plant army to follow you. Anyone who dares to stop me will be treated with no mercy."
Although the North now nominally belongs to him completely, there are certainly some dirty and filthy things going on in private, and he will never allow these things to affect his goals.
When he has complete control over the North, he will instruct Baron Kemoyer to apply for the title of Duke and establish a duchy, so that the North will belong to him both legally and in fact.
"I promise to complete your mission!"
Nina faced the envious gazes of many apprentices and proudly puffed out her chest.
"Um."
Kloya nodded and continued, "The third thing is, while Nina is doing road construction and population census, you need to further transform the villages where the census has been completed."
He pulled out a strange-looking tree.
The tree is about two people tall, and has a branch swaying in the wind, making it look like a willow tree.
Its only branch is full of metallic texture. Not only is the surface inlaid with a row of platinum-colored obsidian pieces, but even the slender leaves are made of a uniform opal-colored gemstone.
The gems flickered, like a machine in motion.
"This is my latest Golem Willow."
"According to the test, as long as it is within the Northern Territory, no matter where it is, it can be communicated and transmitted through the branches and the Reef Island."
“That’s my third request.
After you select the village lords of each village territory, they will report to Hanjiao Island through this golem willow tree every half a month.
You must go down to investigate and patrol at least once a month to see if the reports of the village chiefs and lords are true."
At first glance, the main content seems to be about the arrangements for various territories and villages, but a little thought will reveal that the key point is... This tree can actually teleport within the northern border? !
The apprentices have all been trained as magicians and are well aware of how difficult it is to build such a huge space teleportation network.
It turns out that it can be done with just one tree?
Faced with the surprise and confusion of the apprentices, Kloya did not explain, because this thing... in essence, is not a long-distance teleportation magic circle.
It is just an alternative way to enter the Golden Apple Dream. As long as you connect through this tree, you can transfer your consciousness into the golem created in the Golden Apple Dream.
In this way, even ordinary people without any mental power can enter the special area of the Golden Apple Dream.
After explaining these things, he instructed his apprentices to teach and help the farmers in each village build their own houses...
After about an hour, the meeting finally ended, and the apprentices all left with their heads held high.
Everyone is full of fighting spirit and ready to transform the Northern Territory where they grew up.
This is their hometown!
…
While the apprentices rushed into the warehouse to begin preparations and planning, Jamie chose to take a rare break.
He wanted to take his sister to experience life on Hanjiao Island, and the first stop was of course to settle down and find a house.
The companions he met on the road all refused his help with a smile, and then stuffed into his hands the things they had prepared.
Although they are all small things like flower pots, pillows, blankets, pots and bowls, they are all of very good quality.
Some were even prizes bestowed by Croa himself.
Those are all treasures with magical effects. If they were placed in the outside world, they would not be able to be purchased even with hundreds of magic crystals.
Normally they would treasure these prizes very much, but at this moment they stuffed them into Jamie's hands without hesitation, and then ran away quickly one by one, not giving him any chance to refuse.
Their kindness made Jamie's heart surge even more, and also gradually calmed down his sister's uneasy heart.
"Sister, they are all my brothers."
Jamie smiled, tears in his eyes: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were still alive and didn't find you in time."
Jamie's sister was already very thin. Long-term hard work had made her unable to straighten her waist even though she was only in her twenties. She could only hunch slightly.
But she remained strong in front of her brother.
She stroked her brother's head calmly, trying to suppress the sob in her voice, and asked curiously:
"I'm glad you're back. Hey, you haven't told me yet...why did that powerful wizard help you?"
There was a hint of worry in his words.
The reputation of mages is actually not very good. In most areas, they are portrayed as gloomy and evil people who capture humans or monsters for bloody experiments.
Furthermore, she felt a little inferior in her heart - how could she and her honest and somewhat dull brother be treated like this by a powerful wizard?
Having been away for so long, she had seen too many things, some of which were too dark and evil. Out of concern, she asked about them unconsciously.
Jamie was a man who had seen the world, so of course he immediately understood the hidden meaning in his sister's words. He stood still immediately.
With a serious expression, he said to his sister: “Lord Croa is my benefactor. He taught me magic and gave me my current position.
Sister, please do not speak ill of Lord Croa in the North!"
He knew that his sister was worried about him, but if outsiders heard this, it would definitely have a bad impact on her.
This has nothing to do with power; it is out of my genuine respect and admiration for Master Croix.
My sister's heart tightened and she nodded quickly.
"I see!"
Jamie then continued to move forward with his sister, and soon arrived at the housing management office on Hanjiao Island.
He greeted the girl sitting behind the counter in a familiar manner: "Elena, please help me register a house!"
The person sitting in the back was Elena, a member of the Sons of the Harvest. She had just finished her mission outside and was taking over as a temporary replacement.
Elena straightened up and smiled, "I already know this is your sister. Master Cloa has told me that I can choose any house."
She turned the magic crystal screen in front of her, and what was displayed was the vacant houses on Hanjiao Island and several surrounding habitable islands.
Elena, who had already received training, introduced: "If you want to live in a quieter place, you can choose Purple Lavender Island, which is 20 nautical miles away from Hanjiao Island.
Purple lavender is being grown in large quantities on that island, and Mr. Oak and Mr. Miffin have together drawn a magic circle that covers the entire island.
As soon as you go out, you can see large tracts of purple lavender fields. It is a very suitable area for women who like quietness to live in. "
The picture shows an exquisite European-style white cottage and endless purple lavender fields. The interweaving of white and purple looks like a scene from a fairy tale.
Jamie's sister's eyes lit up instantly.
However, Elena still gave more options: "If you are not satisfied with this place, you can also choose Fish Sauce Island, which is 30 nautical miles away from Hanjiao Island.
That island is a large marine fish farm that the mermaid prince Treden is building. It also offers free animal trainer courses. If you have experience in fish farming, you can go there."
“Also, this is Haihan Island, which is located fifty miles away from Hanjiao Island. It has snow all year round and is home to many kinds of ice elemental magic plants.
And here..."
Elena was indeed thinking about Jamie's sister. These areas not only have good living environments and hardware facilities, but also have great development and employment prospects.
I won't just stay at home and do nothing every day after I go there.
In their view, the greatest pleasure is to have work to do and to be able to enrich and improve themselves.
Jamie's sister was simply dazzled by the choices. She was surprised by the uniqueness of this place and was grateful to the lord for giving her such a special treatment.
Finally, it occurred to her, "Jamie, where do you live?"
Jamie was slightly stunned: "I live in the dormitory on Hanjiao Island."
Although it is a dormitory, the environment and conditions are much better than the houses outside. There are not only various life-sustaining arrays, but also food prepared by the thieving rat chef.
Most importantly, it doesn’t cost any money.
After thinking about it, Jamie knew what his sister was thinking and comforted her, "There are cross-sea underground tunnels on the islands in the sea that are directly connected to Hanjiao Island. Whenever you want to see me, you can just come over."
After hearing this, my sister finally felt relieved and chose the Purple Lavender Island that was recommended first without hesitation.
Elena immediately entered her information, including her name, age, height, and a series of other information, and finally gave her a small sunflower-shaped pendant.
"This is your first time on Hanjiao Island. The residents of Hanjiao Island will give you thirty gold coins every month, which have been deposited into the pendant.
Please remember that this sunflower pendant represents your identity, so you must keep it safe. You will need to use the pendant for any activity on the island."
After saying that, Elena made a please gesture.
With a proud smile on his face, he said, "Then, welcome to officially become a resident of Hanjiao Island. You need to explore more experiences on your own!"
Jamie's sister held the pendant, and the warm golden crystal reflected the dazzling light, as if erasing the darkness of suffering she had experienced.
There was only light left in his eyes.
