Chapter 369 Enchantment Plan
So far, the arrangements for the grassland elves that were brought here have basically been completed.
Zhou Xu did not plan to stay in Salt Lake Village for long. After no longer having to bring ordinary people with him, their mobility efficiency on horseback increased significantly.
Before dark, they successfully returned to Black Moon Village.
At this point in time, it would be too late to get back to the grassland village unless you travel overnight.
"We will rest in Black Moon Village for one night today. Tomorrow morning, you will return to Prairie Village. Don't worry about me. I have other things to deal with, so I won't be going back to Prairie Village for the time being."
In this short day, Drogo, Silk and others, who had endured too much shock, did not react much to this.
It seems that they haven't come to their senses yet, and are still reeling from the huge shocks that Black Moon Village and Salt Lake Village brought to them one after another.
Zhou Xu didn't care about this. Zhang Xiaoshan would arrange everything for them anyway. After he finished speaking, he turned around and went back to his residence in Black Moon Village.
After finishing his dinner in the house, he quickly fell asleep after a busy day.
After another night's rest, Zhou Xu felt that his condition had basically recovered.
He got up a little late that day, and by the time he finished breakfast in the house, Drogo, Silk and the others had already set out on the road back to the grassland village thirty minutes earlier.
Without paying any attention to them, Zhou Xu finished his breakfast and slowly came to the forging department and called the director Wang Dachui over.
"How are you studying the blueprints that the messenger brought over earlier?"
Before returning Silk's silver-steel sword to the other party, Zhou Xu found an opportunity to make a copy of the ancient elven characters engraved on the sword, and then asked the messenger to deliver the animal skin with the ancient elven characters to Wang Dachui, the director of the forging department, as quickly as possible.
Needless to say, Zhou Xu's request was that he wanted to engrave this ancient elven language on the sword that would be mass-produced in the future, to try and make a low-profile version of the silver-steel sword.
In response to their leader's questions, Wang Dachui, who knew Zhou Xu's character well, took him directly to the mold maker. At this moment, the mold maker was concentrating on carving the mold in front of him.
Needless to say, the carving was the mold of the sword with ancient elven characters on it.
The characters were small, dense, and in various shapes. The mold maker had never carved anything so difficult before. He felt like his eyes were going blind, and he hadn't even finished carving one-fifth of it.
When Zhou Xu came over, he had just finished carving one of the characters. He wiped the sweat that had covered his forehead without him noticing. He just felt extremely tired, his eyes were sore, and his head was dizzy. He just wanted to close his eyes and lean back to rest for a while.
At this moment, they really didn't notice the existence of their leader.
After he realized what was happening, he was about to stand up and salute, but was held back by Zhou Xu.
"Please sit down. No need to be polite. Isn't it difficult to carve this character?"
When questioned, the mold maker answered truthfully.
"Reporting to the leader, I don't know why, but carving this is very strenuous. Basically, after carving one or two characters, I feel dizzy and have to take a break."
Obviously, this is also the main reason why his work efficiency has not been improved this time.
"This is ancient elven writing, which is essentially the same as the mantra. When you are carving it, it may also be absorbing your power. Take your time, there is no need to rush."
After saying a comforting word, Zhou Xu confirmed the work progress and slowly left the forging department.
According to his plan, the forging department would first forge a sword with ancient elven characters on it, and then arrange for someone like an "enchanter" to enchant the sword.
But now the problem is that he has not found a suitable enchanter so far.
For some normal people at the two-star level, even if they do not directly activate the 'mantra', just carving the mantra characters will invisibly consume their mental strength, because those characters themselves carry a certain power.
Like the mold maker, you may feel tired after carving a few words. This shows that ordinary people's mental strength is not high and cannot meet that requirement.
According to Zhou Xu's idea, at least someone with three-star spiritual potential should be found to do this job.
In fact, all the grassland elves who have just surrendered meet this requirement. They are born with three-star level spiritual potential.
But Zhou Xu doesn't plan to use them for the time being.
Once the enchanted sword is successfully developed, there is no doubt about how high the status of the enchanter will be.
Under this premise, the grassland elves have just surrendered and still have many problems. They need to be disciplined. He does not want these grassland elves to gain some extraordinary status all of a sudden. This is not a good thing for them internally.
Leaving aside those grassland elves, Zhou Xu sadly discovered that he had basically no choice.
He actually has quite a few subordinates with spiritual potential of three stars or above, such as Ye Jinghong, Li Ce, Zhou Chongshan, Shi Lei, Zhuang Mengdie, Ye Yan, and Zhao Geng.
However, the problem is that they all have their own things to do and it is impossible for them to be the enchanter.
You know, the enchanter's workload will definitely be very heavy in the future, and they will have to consume a lot of mental energy every day. If they are asked to do this part-time job, they will definitely not be able to do their main job well.
After such a thorough investigation, there was only one suitable candidate left, and that was Wang Dong.
Wang Dong can be said to be the person with the highest spiritual attribute under his command, reaching a rather exaggerated four stars.
Now, he basically just teaches children to read. With his four-star spiritual attribute, the energy he consumes in teaching every day is almost negligible.
After confirming the candidates, Zhou Xu was not in a hurry to set off. The molds in the forging department were not ready yet, so he was not in a hurry to do it.
Because I was with Drogo, Silk and the others yesterday, I didn't do the inspection work properly.
Now is a good time to take a quick look at the situation in Black Moon Village.
With this purpose in mind, Zhou Xu took Zhang Xiaoshan on the road. He found that from the moment he returned to the village yesterday, the village seemed to exude a wonderful atmosphere.
The villagers seemed to be in a very excited mental state, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
[Is it because of the arrival of the grassland elves? 】
With doubts in his heart, Zhou Xu asked Zhang Xiaoshan the questions in his mind.
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan showed a meaningful smile on his face.
"Reporting to the leader, this is because there were many women among the captives sent back before."
“…”
If nothing unexpected happens, there should be an extra chapter today if the monthly tickets accumulate to 300. It is expected to be after 10 o'clock. If anything unexpected happens, just pretend I didn't say anything.
