Chapter 563 Construction Matters
The organized freight convoy entered the Kanins Courtyard, passed through the fortress city, and headed towards the Snow Ridge Ranch.
A war on the Qingshi River cut off the direction of the river. Because of the ice, the later magic dredging did not cause too serious floods, which made this section of the river wider.
And Mu Hua's profits from the war were quickly converted into money, and he quickly spent it.
A carload of Hengjin was brought to the hot spring town by the convoy. This mineral metal is the raw material for making demon gold coins. The word Heng in Hengjin does not represent its permanent solidity, but it means that it has a permanent magic storage effect.
However, the essence of Hengjin's magic storage ability is actually more like plunder. That is to say, if enough magic power is input into a certain volume of Hengjin, it can become a demon gold coin, but the person who inputs magic power into it will also lose that part of his own magic power forever.
So this thing is actually not a very kind thing, and the name of the demon gold coin probably does not just mean that they are the common currency of demons.
In Hell, Eternal Gold is not considered a rare metal. There are even Eternal Gold mines in many courtyards. If you don't input magic power into it and break it into gravel that is not enough to form demon gold coins, Eternal Gold Sand is more used as a building material.
If it is ground into fine particles and integrated into gold and stone, it can be used to make brick walls with lasting enchantment effects, and the magic conduction efficiency of those brick walls is also very high, which can be said to be an excellent building material for building fortresses and cities.
In order to build his first foundation in the Kanins Courtyard in the hot spring town, Mu Hua purchased a large amount of Eternal Gold.
In the territory of the hot spring town, countless skeletons and undead are using earth magic to blend Eternal Gold Sand and crystallized rocks into thick bricks and stones for the city wall.
Yes, that's right, it's bricks and stones. Mu Hua plans to build a palace city for the time being. The mage camp must not be used to deal with things here.
The design plan includes the foundation, the internal steel frame made of magic metal, the Eternal Gold City Wall, and various barriers that store magic and consume external magic, etc.
The construction of a city is never a small matter. This does not involve the purchase and deployment of heavy magic weapons, including the future storage of various specifications of ammunition, arrows, energy units, etc. Mu Hua is already a bit overwhelmed.
The magicians in the mythological world who transform the terrain with a wave of their hands and feet, and the scenes of large groups of slaves and beasts in ancient Egypt using levers to pull tools to build magnificent buildings are mixed together.
When the ghosts floating in the air commanded the measurement, they occasionally uttered vulgar curses.
Mammoths, Minotaur, flying dragons, even dragons and behemoths dragged and carried huge stones.
Smaller corpse demons and skeletons became construction workers, doing more delicate work such as building houses, building walls, inlaying, and carving in various construction sites.
This is even when the creation of all elements saved Mu Hua a lot of manpower and material resources. The designers submitted the structural data of various metal building materials. After all, Mu Hua has studied civil engineering for the mage camp in recent years.
All the metal structure-related things in the entire city, such as steel frame gates, were "vomited" by Mu Hua using the creation of all elements.
"Boom~! Boom~!"
A high mountain 50 miles away from the hot spring town, with an altitude of more than 500 meters, collapsed by the earthquake magic launched by more than 30 behemoths.
Through their innate perception, some mountain rocks and ores containing special ingredients were taken out from the mountain body that turned into rubble. The behemoths launched a high-level soil and stone condensation to condense a large amount of messy ores into some relatively portable stone blocks and stone pillars.
When the magic worked, these behemoths jumped happily, and then carried those thick and heavy stones and transported them back to the hot spring town.
"Boom! Boom!"
Not long after Behemoth left, there was a more violent roar of magic in the high mountain area. The figure of the sky dragon and the magic circle full of destructive implications made Behemoth, who was on his way, curl his lips in disgust.
That was the dragon language magic of the dragons. Their mission was to flatten the mountain and find more high-quality stones from it. If there were no mineral veins underground, they would clean it up into relatively flat land.
There are many mountains near the hot spring town, so they are preparing for the expansion of the city outside the palace in the future. At the same time, Mu Hua has no ability to build a front-line city further north for the time being, and the hot spring town will inevitably attract some monster attacks.
After all, there are many stone statues in the hot spring town, including more than ten demon generals in the Snow Ridge Ranch. Mu Hua cleaned up the surrounding area before expanding further north, so that when monsters come to trouble him, there is a large area of flat land around him to serve as a battlefield.
Behemoths, thirty-six Behemoths were recruited by Mu Hua and temporarily became Zhou Liu's subordinates. There was nothing much to say about the process of conquering these Behemoths. Just give them skill stones.
However, Mu Hua captured more than fifty Behemoths from the battlefield. Except for those who were willing to serve Mu Hua as their master, the others had pledged allegiance to certain monsters.
Behemoths are a bit stubborn in terms of loyalty. Those Behemoths that have recognized other monsters cannot be wooed even with skill stones.
Keep them? The threat of this creature is too high, and it is easy to destroy the ecological balance on the Abyss Island.
Smelt them? Behemoths can't melt any skill stones. At most, they can only produce some tears of earth elements, which Mu Hua has no shortage of now.
In the end, the twenty or so Behemoths were temporarily tied to the Ash Barrier, trying to obtain the muscle and tissue structure of Behemoths. Mu Hua positioned them as the medium of keratin skin. . .
Well, keratinized skin is an ability related to laziness. Every time you level up ten, you can get a chance to absorb a medium. Absorbing different mediums will also form a benign transformation on yourself, but you must complete the medium absorption to continue to improve the skill level.
In terms of laziness, it is necessary to max out this ability. If you don't want to just get some mediums to brush up your skill level, the muscle form of Behemoth is quite unique and can be regarded as a good medium.
Because of their own conditions, this batch of Behemoths can be regarded as Mu Hua's biggest gain in the previous war, especially among the thirty-six Behemoths that defected to his family, there are more than ten females.
Mu Hua now treasures them tightly. He first cast some of their extremely persistent elemental magic, and then cast self-healing and regeneration on them. For the ten or so female Behemoths, Mu Hua probably won't be willing to throw them to the battlefield in a short time.
By the way, it's not without reason that female boxing is awesome. It seems that Mu Hua will stand on their side to a certain extent now. Well, anyway, basically no female can come to fight in front of him. . .
Having just recruited a group of Behemoths, he used them as construction workers. Others did not know whether Mu Hua wanted to help these Behemoths grow up, but in the eyes of the outside world, Mu Hua really made himself poor.
"Mu, I heard that you want to collect ashes and soul fragments? I can help you contact a batch of heavy weapons, and pay in installments for 20 years. Do you need it?" Mu Hua received a call from Webster in the temporary house built in Wenquan Township.
The soft long skirt that exposed the knees, the bony ankles, and the well-proportioned calves, since Ingrid found that Mu Hua seemed to like women dressed at home, she always tried to highlight her gentle side in front of Mu Hua.
"Heavy weapons? What are they?" Mu Hua asked, and waved to Ingrid who was sitting opposite him. Ingrid didn't care, and stood up and moved away from Mu Hua, not interfering with the conversation between the two.
"T71 long-range cluster magic cannon, position cannon, energy field generator with a coverage of 3,000 meters in diameter, T-type demon hunting tank, tracked prison gate-level defense mecha." Webster said.
"What about the interest rate?" Mu Hua frowned. They were all high-energy-consuming products that tended to be defensive, but they were also suitable for his current deployment. It seemed that Webster had also spent some time thinking about it.
"I'm not an arms dealer. I can barely be considered a middleman. You don't have to worry about the interest rate." Webster smiled. Mu Hua glanced at Ingrid standing by the window and put on the headset.
"What's the matter with you? Tell me, it's okay." Without talking about arms, Mu Hua asked Webster.
"Hehe, someone wants to ask you to go to Bridges' courtyard for a walk. The number of weapons they provided is not small. So, I came to ask you what you think." Webster replied with a chuckle.
"Bridges? Witches? Are you related to them?" Bridges' family is big and powerful, and in recent years, some courtyards related to them have been in turmoil with witches.
Webster's voice did not sound like Bridges wanted to ask him for help, and Webster had some problems with Bridges.
The so-called 20-year installment of weapons, without interest, is almost a free gift for Mu Hua's current level. Mu Hua thought of those witches directly.
"No, I have nothing to do with them, but I am also happy to see someone trouble Bridges." Webster's tone was relaxed, and he did not seem to take this matter too seriously.
"Hehe, old man, you are probably not just happy to see it, right? Forget about the weapons, I have contacted some channels here, and for other things, I will call Odysseus to get together and talk about it when we meet."
"I heard that Bridges has offended a lot of people, but my appearance fee is not that cheap, so I'll hang up if I have nothing to do with it." Mu Hua said with a smile.
Bridges' affairs have caused some undercurrents among the upper-level adventurers, but Mu Hua has never paid much attention to Bridges' affairs. In any case, he would not wade into the muddy water with a batch of high-energy-consuming war preparations.
Mu Hua has some super-profitable products, but his power is developing rapidly, and the outside world naturally thinks that the consumption is also exaggerated.
Recently, the purchase of city-building materials has suddenly been added to his expenses, and he does not intend to let other forces participate in it. It may have given the outside world some illusions that he is short of funds, but he is not that poor.
After ending the communication with Webster, Ingrid sat opposite him again. This time she came to ask Mu Hua whether he was willing to let the garrison regiment station troops in the hot spring village.
The Magic Empire also never gave up its own business. Ingrid asked on behalf of the royal family, but she is now closer to Mu Hua and is not too serious about this matter. It is more like dealing with the royal family's orders.
Speaking of which, Mu Hua was also a little shy about Ingrid. Well, it had nothing to do with whether she was from the royal family or not. I don't know if it was a female talent, but this imperial princess was also very fancy in matters between men and women.
Nick seemed to be pursuing Ingrid, and while Ingrid had an ambiguous relationship with Nick, she never gave up hooking up with Mu Hua.
Before she confirmed her relationship with anyone, she seemed to think that this was a very normal thing. Mu Hua couldn't figure out whether it was the social atmosphere or she was just being confused. Anyway, Mu Hua couldn't stand it now.
He was now quite close to lesbians, but the premise was that shitty things didn't happen to him.
He rejected the proposal of the garrison regiment to station troops in the hot spring village. If the empire had similar ideas again in the future, Mu Hua asked Ingrid to find a way to refuse it herself.
Mu Hua can ignore Ingrid's social philosophy. For the time being, as long as she still stands on the side of Caines, she can avoid a lot of disturbances from the imperial government.
Well, good comrade, if there is no Nick, cough... Whether there is Nick or not, intimate communication and so on, and wasting dragon power potion, forget it.
After ordering a dragon to send Ingrid away, Mu Hua contacted Samantha again and asked her to communicate with Kunna about the issue of arms and smuggling of the remnants of the fallen country.
Mu Hua has an ammunition production line, but it only produces some exorcism bullets, not to mention the heavy weapons arsenal. He really needs to fill some heavy armaments now, including things like tanks and mechas. Those sent by Galaposo are still not good enough.
At first, it was Mu Hua's skeleton undead who provided the attachment medium for the ghosts of Caines City. Now the ghosts of Caines City can also help Mu Hua's skeleton undead quickly learn the control technology of those weapons.
It is not practical to recruit human soldiers in the short term, and Caines City does not have enough people to replace the jobs of the numbered individuals.
The high-end undead consumes too many resources and it is difficult to form a force for a while. With enough weapons, Mu Hua can get some skeleton warriors to expand his military strength.
The earlier battle on the Qingshi River had too much difference in the strength of the two sides, and Mu Hua's side looked quite embarrassed from beginning to end.
This is still the case when Mu Hua's powerful subordinates are gathered together, and whether it involves growth or development, Mu Hua cannot be tied to this kind of war all the time.
Just like now, when most of his own combatants have entered the Caines Courtyard, it is inconvenient for the world tree to connect only one human world when it comes to the long-term war in the future.
Mu Hua plans to go out to collect some plant essences, and the Xueling Ranch needs to put some tree herders to manage the environment. It is also necessary for the world tree to catalyze another branch that can directly connect to the Caines Courtyard. (End of this chapter)
