An organized freight convoy entered the Keynes Courtyard, passed through the fortress city, and headed towards the Snow Ridge Ranch.
A war on the banks of the Qingshi River cut off the course of the river. Due to the ice, it did not cause serious floods after later magical dredging, which made this section of the river a little wider.
Mu Hua's profits from the war were quickly converted into money and spent by him quickly.
Cartloads of Hengjin were 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 eternal solidity, but means that it has a lasting magic storage effect.
However, the essence of Eternal Gold's magic storage ability is actually more like plundering. In other words, if enough magic power is input into Eternal Gold that reaches a certain volume, it can be turned into Demon Gold Coins, but the person who inputs magic power into it will also lose that part of his or her own magic power forever.
So this thing is actually not a very kind thing, and the name of the devil's gold coins probably does not just mean that they are the common currency of demons.
Eternal gold is not considered a rare metal in hell. There are even eternal gold mines in many courtyards. If no magic power is input into it and it is broken into gravel that is not enough to form demon gold coins, the eternal gold sand is mostly 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. Moreover, the magic conduction efficiency of those brick walls is also very high, making them an excellent building material for building fortresses and cities.
In order to build his first foundation in the Kanes Courtyard in the hot spring town, Mu Hua purchased a large amount of Heng gold.
In the hot spring town, countless skeletons of the undead are using earth magic to blend eternal golden 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 temporarily. He certainly can't use the magician position to deal with things here.
The design plan includes the foundation, an internal steel frame made of magic metal, a permanent gold wall, and various barriers that can store magic power and consume external magic power.
The construction of a city has never been a small matter. This does not even involve the purchase and deployment of heavy magical weapons, including the future storage of various specifications of ammunition, arrows, energy units, etc. Mu Hua is already a little overwhelmed.
The scenes of the mages in the mythological world who transformed the terrain with a wave of their hands, such as blasting mountains and crushing rocks, filling abysses and making canals, were blended together with the scenes of large groups of slaves and beasts in ancient Egypt using levers and pulling tools to build magnificent buildings.
When the ghost floating in the air was directing the measurement, vulgar words came out of his mouth from time to time.
Mammoths, Minotaur, flying dragons, and even evil dragons and behemoths dragged and carried the huge stones.
The smaller corpse demons and skeleton undead transformed into construction workers, doing delicate work such as building houses, building walls, inlaying, and carving in various construction sites.
This was even though the Creation of All Things had saved Mu Hua a lot of manpower and resources. The designers submitted the structural data of various metal building materials. After all, Mu Hua had also studied civil engineering a lot for the mage position over the years.
All the metal structure-related things in the entire city, such as steel frame gates, were "spit out" by Mu Hua using the Creation of All Things.
“Boom! Boom!”
A high mountain fifty miles away from the hot spring town, with a peak over 500 meters above sea level, collapsed due to the earthquake magic launched by more than thirty Behemoths.
Through their innate perception, they dug out some rock ores containing special ingredients from the mountain that had turned into rubble. The Behemoths activated a high-level earth and stone condensation technique, condensing a large amount of messy ores into some relatively portable stone blocks and pillars.
When the magic worked, the behemoths jumped for joy, then started carrying the thick and heavy stones and transporting them back to the hot spring town.
"Boom! Boom!"
Not long after Behemoth left, there were even more violent roars of magic in the mountains. The silhouette 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 evil 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 clear the area into relatively flat land.
There are many mountains near the hot spring village, so preparations are being made to expand the city outside the palace in the future. At the same time, Mu Hua does not have the ability to build a frontline city further north for the time being, so the hot spring village is bound to attract attacks from some monsters.
After all, there are quite a few stone statues thrown in the hot spring village, including more than ten demon generals from the Snow Ridge Ranch. Mu Hua tidied up the surrounding area so that before he could expand further north, there would be a large area of flat land around him that could be used as a battlefield if any monster came to trouble him.
Behemoth, thirty-six Behemoths were recruited by Mu Hua and temporarily became part of Zhou Liu's team. There was nothing much to say about the process of taming these Behemoths, all you had to do was 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 all pledged allegiance to certain monsters.
Creatures like Behemoth are a bit stubborn when it comes to loyalty. Those Behemoths that have recognized other monsters cannot be wooed even with skill stones.
Should we keep it as a pet? This creature is too threatening and could easily destroy the ecological balance of the Abyss Island.
Smelt it? Behemoth can't smelt any skill stones. At most, it can only produce some tears of earth element, which Mu Hua has no shortage of now.
In the end, the twenty or so Behemoths were temporarily tied to the Ash Wall, trying to obtain the muscle and tissue structure of the 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 levels, you will get a chance to absorb a medium. Absorbing different media will also form a positive transformation on yourself, but you must complete the medium absorption to continue to improve the skill level.
Regarding laziness, it is necessary to max out this ability. If you don't want to just get some mediums to brush up your skill levels, Behemoth's muscular form is quite distinctive and can be considered 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 have surrendered to him, there are more than ten females.
Mu Hua now treasured them very much. He first cast some elemental magic on them that they were extremely persistent in using, and then used the self-healing and regeneration skills on them. As for those ten or so female Behemoths, Mu Hua probably would not be willing to throw them onto the battlefield in the short term.
It is not without reason that women's boxing is awesome. Nowadays, Mu Hua seems to stand on their side to a certain extent. Well, basically no females can fight in front of him. . . He just recruited a group of Behemoths and used them as construction workers. Others don't know whether Mu Hua wants to help these Behemoths grow up, but in the eyes of the outside world, Mu Hua has 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 the payment can be made in installments over 20 years. Do you need it?" Mu Hua received a call from Webster in a temporary house in Wenquan Township.
A soft long skirt that reveals the knees, bony ankles, and well-proportioned calves. Ever since Ingrid discovered that Mu Hua seemed to like women who dressed down at home, she always tried to highlight her gentle side in front of Mu Hua.
"Heavy weapons? What are they?" Mu Hua asked. While speaking, he waved to Ingrid who was sitting opposite him. Ingrid didn't care. She stood up and moved away from Mu Hua without interrupting their conversation.
"T71 long-range cluster magic cannon, position artillery, energy field generator covering a diameter of three thousand meters, T-type demon hunting tank, and 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 put some thought into 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 said with a smile. Mu Hua glanced at Ingrid who was standing by the window, and put on the headset.
"What's the matter with you? Tell me, it's nothing." Without mentioning the arms, Mu Hua asked Webster.
"Well, someone wants you to go to Bridges' courtyard. The quantity of weapons they provide is not small, so I came to ask your opinion." Webster replied with a chuckle.
"Bridges? Witches? Are you related to them?" The Bridges family is wealthy and powerful. In recent years, there have been witch riots in some courtyards related to them.
From the sound of Webster's voice, it didn't sound like Bridges wanted to ask him for help, and Webster and Bridges had some conflicts.
The so-called twenty-year installment payment for military equipment, with no interest, was almost a gift for free at Mu Hua's current level. Mu Hua immediately thought of those witches.
"No, I have nothing to do with them, but I'd also like to see someone causing trouble for Bridges." Webster's tone was relaxed, as if he didn't take the matter too seriously.
"Oh, old man, I'm afraid you're not just interested in hearing about it, right? Forget about the arms. I've contacted some channels here. As for other matters, I'll call Odysseus to get together and we'll 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 it's okay." Mu Hua said with a smile.
Bridges' affairs caused some undercurrents among the upper-level adventurers, but Mu Hua had never paid much attention to Bridges' affairs. In any case, he would not get involved in that muddy water with just a batch of high-energy-consuming combat equipment.
Mu Hua has some extremely profitable products, but his power is growing rapidly, so naturally the outside world 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 get involved. This may have given the outside world the illusion that he is short of funds, but he is not that poor.
After finishing 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 garrison in the hot spring village.
The Magic Empire will also never give up its own operations. Ingrid asked on behalf of the royal family, but she is closer to Mu Hua now and is not too serious about this matter. It seems more like she is responding to the royal family's orders.
Speaking of which, Mu Hua is also a little shy about Ingrid. Well, it has nothing to do with whether she is from the royal family or not. I don’t know if it can be considered a female talent, but this imperial princess is quite fancy when it comes to matters between men and women.
Nick seems to be pursuing Ingrid, and while Ingrid has an ambiguous relationship with Nick, she has never given up on 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 pretending to be confused. Anyway, Mu Hua couldn't stand this now.
He is now quite close to female lesbians, but the prerequisite is that no shitty things happen to him.
Mu Hua rejected the garrison's proposal to station troops in the hot spring village. If the empire had similar thoughts again in the future, Mu Hua asked Ingrid to find a way to refuse them herself.
Mu Hua can ignore Ingrid's social concepts. For the time being, as long as she stands on the side of Cains, she can avoid a lot of interference from the imperial government.
Well, good comrade, if there is no Nick, well... No matter if there is Nick or not, intimate communication and wasting dragon power potion, forget it.
After ordering a dragon to send Ingrid away, Mu Hua contacted Samantha and asked her to communicate with Kunna about the issues of arms and smuggling of the remnants of the fallen nation.
Mu Hua has an ammunition production line, but it only produces exorcism bullets, not to mention a heavy weapons arsenal. He really needs to fill it with some heavy armaments, including tanks, mechas and the like. What Galaposo sent is not good enough.
At first, it was Mu Hua's skeleton undead who provided a medium for the ghosts of Caines City to attach themselves to. Now, the ghosts of Caines City can also help the skeleton undead under Mu Hua quickly learn the control techniques of those weapons.
It is not practical to recruit humans in the short term, and the city of Caines does not have enough people to replace the jobs of the numbered individuals.
The generation of high-end undead consumes too many resources and it is difficult to form a force for the time being. With sufficient weapons, Mu Hua can get some skeleton warriors to expand his military strength.
In the earlier battle on the Qingshi River, the difference in the strength of the two sides was too great, and Mu Hua's side looked quite embarrassed from beginning to end.
This is the case when Mu Hua has a lot of powerful subordinates gathered together, and whether it involves growth or development, Mu Hua cannot always be tied to this kind of war.
Just like now, when most of their fighters have entered the Kanes Courtyard, it is very inconvenient for the World Tree to only connect to one human world when it comes to the subsequent long-term war.
Mu Hua plans to go out and collect some plant essences. He also needs to send some tree herders to manage the environment at the Snow Ridge Ranch. The World Tree also needs to catalyze a branch that can directly connect to the Kanins Courtyard. (End of this chapter)
