Chapter 332: Looting the granary, the archmage's magic tower! (7200)

After a moment, Cao Xing clapped his hands and returned to the granary.

"Good, I'm the only one left here."

"Now, it's time to get down to business!"

The corners of his mouth curved up.

Looking at the mountains of grain in front of him, a strong sense of joy appeared in his eyes!

Because soon all the food will be his!

But before that, there was another problem facing Cao Xing.

That's because there is too much food here.

And his backpack only has 80 slots...

The various resources collected earlier, plus some props, have already occupied 20 grids of space.

In other words, he only has 60 slots of space to store things.

Based on the calculation that one compartment of the backpack can hold 4000 kilograms of food, he can only carry a maximum of 24 kilograms of food.

There is definitely no way to transport all this food out at once.

Cao Xing sighed, "It's a bit troublesome. There is too much food, which is also a kind of distress!"

If the other survivors heard his troubles, they would probably curse Cao Xing to death behind his back.

After all, nowadays, everyone is not as short of food as when they first entered this world.

But they are all tightening their belts.

As the population in the major territories grows larger and larger, the issue of food every day becomes a challenge for many people.

This is true even for those legions ranked at the top.

At this stage, until everyone’s territory is cultivated, it is impossible to be self-sufficient through farming.

So either go hunting outside or go to nearby villages and towns to purchase.

But that requires various resources.

So it is impossible for him to do what he did, going to the camps of the Church of Light when he was short of food, and almost treating them as his own warehouse!

At this moment, Cao Xing thought for a moment and quickly found a solution.

He first called Liu Muxue.

The other party chose to answer the call almost instantly.

"Axing, how are you doing? Is there any accident?"

Liu Muxue's concerned voice came to my ears.

Cao Xing chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

“And there’s quite a bit of gain!”

After hearing the reply, Liu Muxue gradually felt relieved.

She said softly, "Yeah, I'm glad you're okay."

Cao Xing continued to ask: "Mu Xue, how many space backpacks do you have?"

The other party thought for a moment, then replied: "I only brought 6, all 40 slots."

These space backpacks were all acquired by Cao Xing in previous transactions.

Now everyone knows the importance of space backpack.

But the output rate of this thing is extremely low.

Among the indigenous people, this thing is also extremely precious.

Even among the nobility, few can possess it.

After all, it involves space and is extremely difficult to produce.

Moreover, the space backpacks used by the indigenous people do not have such a large capacity.

Just like the hidden space grid, you can fit as much stuff as there is space in your backpack.

Cao Xing and his team have the system's built-in backpack stacking function, which allows them to use one backpack as almost a dozen backpacks.

But even so, not everyone can have this kind of prop.

Especially those backpacks with more than 20 slots are extremely rare, and you can only see two of them in the entire trading market.

Cao Xing's six 6-slot backpacks also cost him a lot of resources.

He thought to himself: "Mu Xue's backpack has 240 slots in total, which can hold 96 kilograms of food."

"Adding my own 60 grids of space, it's more than enough."

"With just a few more trips, we can transport all the food here!"

Thinking of this, excitement gradually appeared in his eyes!

"Sure enough, it's better to plunder a huge city like this, the resources come quickly!"

He had fought hard the previous night, flattened so many camps, and only then did he manage to loot more than 70,000 kilograms of food!

And now, just by coming in and walking around for about two hours, you can harvest millions of kilograms of grain!
This efficiency is really too fast!
And according to the two cultists on the ground, there was more food in the granary two days ago, but most of it was taken away by the Church of Light!

When he thought of this, Cao Xing felt heartbroken!

Originally, all these foods belong to us. It would be better if they could come earlier!
But no matter how much he thought about it, he also knew that now was the best time.

If he had come here two days ago, he wouldn't have been able to get in because he hadn't yet acquired this powerful camouflage skill.

The number of hunters in the city will be many times more than it is now!
He shook his head, pushing the thoughts out of his mind.

Cao Xing asked Liu Muxue and the others to continue waiting for him outside.

Then he began his search journey!

He walked straight over and put the piles of food into his backpack.

[Obtain: Hulled wheat (40KG)] * 177 bags

[Obtain: Rice (40KG)] * 194 bags

[Obtain: Air-dried bacon]*724KG
【get……】

...

As system prompts continued to sound, the mountain of food in front of them continued to shrink.

In less than five minutes, the remaining 60 slots in the backpack were all filled.

This also means that there are an extra 24 kilograms of food in Cao Xing’s backpack!

And the grain in this granary has been completely empty.

Cao Xing exclaimed: "Yes, the backpack's transfer function is really convenient!"

"Now, it's time to go out and transfer these grains."

He also seized the opportunity and quickly left the granary.

Then, taking advantage of the night, he disguised himself as a white-robed priest and made his way out of the city unhindered.

Then, he drilled out of the barrier directly.

After confirming that no one noticed his whereabouts.

Cao Xing quickly walked towards where Liu Mu and others were.

...

...

A few kilometers away.

Liu Muxue and others were still waiting behind the pile of rocks.

Seeing a white-robed priest walking towards them, everyone was not sure whether it was Cao Xing, so they did not act rashly.

They all remained calm, with some vigilance in their eyes.

After Cao Xing came over, he confirmed that there was no one around.

It quickly returned to its original appearance.

When everyone saw the familiar figure, happy smiles appeared on their faces.

Elisa was the first to say, "My Lord, welcome back!"

Asam also prayed solemnly: "My Lord, may the goddess of luck protect you."

In response to everyone's concerned greetings, Cao Xing smiled.

Without taking the time to catch up with them, he said directly: "Mu Xue, distribute the six backpacks in your hands first."

Because of the space backpack, one person can only equip one.

Under normal circumstances, if it is an empty space backpack with nothing in it, it can be put into other space backpacks.

But if there is something in it, it cannot be stuffed into other space backpacks.

Liu Muxue also knew that Cao Xing was under a lot of time, so she quickly took action.

She assigned a space backpack to Tong Chuchu, Sarah, Assam and others.

Then, Cao Xing began to quickly transfer all the food in his backpack into their backpacks!

"Crash!"

The huge amount of food gradually piled up into a small mountain in front of everyone.

Since the items in the space backpack cannot be directly transferred to another backpack, they need to be taken out first and then collected by another person.

Liu Muxue also took the lead and stepped forward, putting all the food into her backpack.

Watching Cao Xing constantly creating astonishing amounts of food like a magic trick.

Looks of joy and excitement gradually appeared in everyone's eyes.

However, when Liu Muxue had filled the entire backpack.

After seeing that Cao Xing was still taking out large amounts of food, they gradually went from being excited to being shocked...

Bron touched his big bald head and said blankly, "Ancestors! How much food did the Lord rob? This much food, I think it's enough for us to eat for a year!"

Andrew, who was standing next to him, put his palms together and said devoutly, "The will of the God of Nature protects you, Lord. Thank you for the gift of nature..."

Everyone, including others, was equally surprised!

After all, the quantity of grain that Cao Xing brought out was really terrifying, and its value was also at an astonishing level!

"Axing, so many?" Liu Muxue asked softly.

Cao Xing smiled and nodded.

"Well, there's more. There's a lot more in there."

"I have to hurry up and make as much money as possible before I'm exposed!"

After hearing this, Liu Muxue also nodded excitedly and said, "Yeah! Be careful."

Little Chuchu clenched his fist and encouraged: "Come on, big brother!"

"it is good."

After saying that, Cao Xing quickly turned around and walked towards Duolun Lake City.

Looking at the huge city in front of him, Cao Xing was also very excited!
For him, this is simply a mountain of gold!

All he has to do now is to hurry up and move as many things as possible out of there, and then he will be able to greatly increase the strength of his territory!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but quicken my pace.

Soon, Cao Xing walked straight through the barrier.

But this time, he did not enter through the main gate.

After all, it's late at night now.

A white-robed priest coming in and out of Lake Duolun City would definitely attract other people's attention.

Cautiously arriving at the foot of the city wall, Cao Xing took out the catapult hook after confirming that there was no one there.

"call out!"

The hook hit the wall and carried him over quickly.

Soon, he came near the granary again.

Then do the same thing and fill the backpack with food.

He turned back and left Duolun Lake City again, transferring the food to the backpacks of Liu Muxue and others!

Although such frequent visits will increase the risk of exposure.

But compared to the current income, it is all worth it!
It took about an hour for Cao Xing's operation to finally come to an end!

The time...is already two o'clock in the morning.

This huge granary was completely searched by Cao Xing!
Just as he expected, this wave directly harvested nearly one million grains!
Converted into units, that’s five million foods!
It can be said that they traveled thousands of miles to come to Duolun Lake City this time.

Just these profits alone are already huge profits!

At this moment, Cao Xing almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahaha! Damn, this wave is so cool!"

His own altar of divine warriors.

To break through from level 5000 to level 1000, one needs units of food, or kg.

If there are more than 200, at least 200,000 kilograms of food will be needed.

This time, the problem was completely solved directly.

"Very good. Now we just need more crowns and other resources..."

“I hope… there are other surprises in this city!”

Thinking of this, Cao Xing gave some instructions to Liu Muxue and others.

Then he continued to jump into the interior of Duolun Lake City.

As it was already late at night, the whole city seemed very quiet.

Cao Xing was standing on a street at this time, thinking to himself: "Tomorrow, the Church of Light will find out that the granary has been lost."

"That means I only have one night left."

"Then, for the rest of the time, we won't search the periphery. Let's go directly to the central city and try to maximize the benefits."

"After all, that's the most luxurious area in the whole city."

So, Cao Xing came to an empty corner and changed into the captain's appearance again.

A moment later, a hunter captain holding a sword and wearing a mask on his face walked out from the corner.

Duolun Lake City is very big.

It takes at least an hour to walk from the outer city to the central city at a normal speed.

It was already late at night, and Cao Xing certainly couldn't rush over at full speed, otherwise he would be noticed by the red-robed bishop inside.

He also tried his best to maintain a normal speed.

It took about twenty minutes to reach the central city area.

The buildings here are indeed more luxurious.

The streets are neatly lined with buildings of various shapes on both sides.

Various mansions, attics, and some entertainment venues.

Each building covers a large area and is decorated with various lights, stones, ribbons, exquisite reliefs and other decorations.

This is a place where only the rich can afford to have fun.

However, looking at the deserted streets, a new question arose in Cao Xing's mind again.

That is--

"Where did the White Walker army go?"

From the last live broadcast, everyone knows that the Church of Light has hidden a large number of White Walker armies in Lake Duolun.

However, Cao Xing had been wandering around Lake Duolun for so long, but still hadn't found any trace of the White Walker army.

Even the three red-robed bishops were nowhere to be seen at this time.

"strangeness……"

But soon, his eyes were attracted by a gorgeously decorated shop in front of him.

It reads: [Gardis's Gold Shop] "Oh? It's a gold shop?"

"It's located in such a large area, so there should be a lot of gold inside, right?"

Cao Xing's mind moved and he put the issue of the White Walker army behind him.

A look of anticipation appeared on his face.

He quickly walked around the gold shop and found the entrance window.

After landing steadily.

The situation inside was disappointing.

There was chaos inside the gold shop, with various counters overturned and scattered all over the floor.

This also applies to the second and third floors.

Cao Xing searched for a while and found a silver ring in the corner.

He thought to himself, "It seems that this gold shop has been plundered clean."

With a look of slight regret, Cao Xing returned to the street outside.

Then he moved quickly and looted several shops.

The situations are similar.

The whole place has been ransacked by these cultists.

Cao Xing didn't get anything valuable in there.

"So, all the shops in the central district have been searched by them?"

After thinking about it, this is normal.

After all, the Church of Light is not stupid.

They must know that the central urban area is where the most resources are.

Therefore, as soon as the huge city was captured, it was completely plundered and the resources were concentrated together, and perhaps they had already been transferred out.

I looked at the time and it was already 2:30 in the morning.

Cao Xing set the time for himself to leave Duolun Lake City before six in the morning.

That means he still has three and a half hours.

"At the moment, there are not many resources left in the central city."

"I need to make use of the remaining three and a half hours."

"Let's go back to the outer city and search first."

After all, the peripheral returns are also quite good.

In the two hours of searching, he obtained millions of kronor and bills worth tens of millions.

If we can maintain this efficiency, we will gain a lot in the second half of the night.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a strange building in front of him.

This looks like a tower.

The floor height is nearly thirty meters and is divided into seven floors!

The tower appears to be made of a dark purple stone, and the walls are engraved with ancient and mysterious runes and patterns.

These runes and patterns flashed faint light from time to time, forming a circle of blue magic shield.

"Wow, so luxurious?"

"This thing doesn't look like a wizard tower."

With a puzzled look, Cao Xing approached.

Then, the information about this building appeared in front of me.

[Grandmaster Genadi's Magic Tower (Special Area)]

...

"The Archmage's magic tower?"

Cao Xing didn't know who Genadi was, but he noticed his title.

You know, any great wizard has strength above level six.

In addition, since he is also a magician, he immediately became curious about this [Magic Tower].

He came directly to the bronze gate under the magic tower.

The blue shield in front seemed to have lost its effect and did not block Cao Xing.

Then, he pushed the door open.

"Boom..."

As the heavy sound of the door opening was heard, a magical aura suddenly rushed towards me.

After Cao Xing entered, a system prompt appeared.

[You have entered a special area: Grandmaster Genadi's magic tower]

[Attention! Genadi is the guardian of Duolun Lake City and one of the two guards of the city lord. His magic tower is a private area and outsiders are prohibited from entering. Once discovered, you will be expelled...]

...

When Cao Xing saw the system prompt, a look of realization appeared in his eyes.

"I see. Is this archmage the city lord's bodyguard? No wonder he can live in a place like this and even has a magic tower built just for him."

He quickly glanced at the scene in front of him.

A look of disappointment appeared.

Just as he expected, everything inside was searched.

The Church of Light will definitely not let go of such an important area easily.

Looking at the messy tables, chairs and benches around, as well as the scattered papers on the ground.

Cao Xing picked up one at random and took a look, and found that they were some magic notes.

However, the contents of the notes were rather messy, and it seemed that the great wizard had just casually written them down, and they were of little help to him.

Cao Xing continued his search, looking around.

And at this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Huh? They didn't take these things away?"

On the wall next to him, he saw rows of wooden bookshelves.

It is filled with a large number of books. A rough estimate is that there are at least more than a hundred books!
As I glanced over, the names of books appeared one after another.

Not as evil as you think

On the Origin of Magic

"Thirty-three Days Imprisoned by the Night Demoness..."

On the Taste of Female Vampires and Female Night Demons

……

The corners of Cao Xing's mouth twitched.

"This great wizard's scope of knowledge is quite broad..."

He accepted all the books and put all the more than one hundred books into his backpack.

"Not bad, not bad. The library in my territory is about to be built. I can take these books back to supplement the library."

After searching the books here, he continued to search inside carefully.

But it is obvious that the Church of Light's looting is extremely clean.

Cao Xing only picked up a few low-level scrolls and some stones containing weak magic power in the corner.

[Obtain: Second-order Wind Blade Magic Scroll]

[Obtain: Level 3 Wind Blade Slash Magic Scroll]

[Obtain: Magic Crystal (Green)]

...

"Oh? Magic scroll, what is this?"

Cao Xing glanced at the attributes.

[Second-level Wind Blade Magic Scroll]

[Item Effect: After injecting a small amount of magic power, you can directly release a second-order wind blade technique, causing 112% tearing damage to a single enemy]

...

[Level 3 Wind Blade Slash Magic Scroll]

[Item Effect: After injecting a small amount of magic power, you can directly release the third-level spell, Wind Blade Slash, causing 137% wind attribute damage to the three enemies in front.]

(Note: Grandmaster-level mages can imprint their own spells on blank magic scrolls, which only require a small amount of magic power to cast)
...

A look of realization appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

"I see. This magic scroll is quite useful. It can actually directly use spells from other professions."

"And the most important thing is that this thing has no cooldown time."

"If I have enough magic scrolls, I can release them all at once and kill the enemy with my skills!"

Of course, this comes at a high cost.

After all, it’s easy to tell that making a magic scroll is not that simple.

Moreover, only mages at the grandmaster level can make it, which is already a frighteningly high threshold.

Therefore, this scroll must be very precious.

Cao Xing thought to himself: "It seems that this great mage is a wind mage?"

"Come to think of it, there is not even a wind mage in my territory."

A few small black stones appeared in his hands, containing relatively weak magical power.

Look at the properties.

【Magic Crystal (Green)】

[Effect: A crystal stone containing weak magic power. When the mage is in the 'meditation' state, he can absorb magic power from it, increase experience points by 1000 points, and slightly increase magic affinity (number of uses per day: 10)]

(Note: A precious crystal that can help apprentice mages increase their magic power. It is rarely found, and a small amount of crystal is found in some veins rich in magic power.)
...

"Oh? These magic crystals can not only increase experience points, but also increase affinity?"

"For those mage apprentices and junior mages, this thing is a good thing!"

As mentioned before, the natives of this world cannot level up quickly by killing enemies before they join the lord's army.

With this kind of crystal, they have a way to become stronger faster.

With the assistance of the [Mage Tower], a junior mage can be promoted to an intermediate mage or even a senior mage in a short period of time.

Of course, this will be very expensive, equivalent to the flow of krypton gold among the indigenous people.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction. "Although it has been searched once, the harvest on the first floor is not bad."

"As expected of a great wizard, even a little bit of soup and water is incredibly valuable."

Soon, he continued to the second floor and began exploring.

The situation on the second floor was similar to that on the first floor, with messy cabinets and everything searched.

This is basically the case for the third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors.

But through Cao Xing's careful investigation, he still got some good things.

[Obtain: 5 second-level 'Wind Blade' magic scrolls]

[Obtain: Level 3 'Wind Blade Slash' Magic Scroll *]

[Obtain: Level 2 'Wind Chi' Magic Scroll *]

[Obtain: Magic Crystal (Green) * 32]

[Obtain: Magic Crystal (Blue) * 15]

...

I took a look at the properties of the two new items.

[Level 3 'Wind Chi' Magic Scroll]

[Scroll Effect: After injecting a small amount of magic power, you can release the "Wind Speed" on yourself or your friend, increasing the movement speed by 30% in the next 20 seconds]

...

【Magic Crystal (Blue)】

[Effect: A crystal stone containing some magic power. In the 'meditation' state, you can extract magic power from it, increase 3000 experience points, and increase magic affinity slightly (number of uses per day: 10)]

...

"Oh? This Wind Chi technique is pretty good. It can actually directly increase movement speed by 20%."

"I just don't know if the skills released by this magic scroll can be blessed by the power of eternity?"

Cao Xing decided to try it right away.

He took out a scroll with a faint scent of wind directly from his backpack.

Follow the method above and inject a touch of magic.

After a moment, an invisible gust of wind burst out from the scroll in his hand.

The strong wind fell on Cao Xing's legs, making him feel lighter all over.

[Successfully used the [Level 30 'Wind Chi' Magic Scroll], increasing movement speed by 20% within seconds. Affected by the talent [Eternal Power], this spell has become permanent...]
...

"Haha! It really works!"

Cao Xing was very excited.

After all, a 20% movement speed bonus is no joke.

Now that Hilda and Victoria are not around, I can't benefit from their aura effects, which is equivalent to a 50% reduction in speed bonus, but now it has almost been made up.

(PS: The halo itself is permanent and is not affected by the eternal force, otherwise it will cause a conflict in the setting. This is how it was set before. The author is not suppressing the protagonist, ovo)

Currently, his movement BUFF is [Queen's Will] + [Black Mist Totem] + [Wind Rush], which together increase the speed by 120%.

At this speed, even a leader-level assassin of the same rank would find it difficult to catch up with him.

"Not bad, not bad. This will increase our survivability."

A smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips.

Then he went straight to the top floor of the tower.

This seems to be where the great wizard often stays.

There are many of his daily necessities in it, such as wooden barrels, wooden beds, wooden basins, etc.

There is also a magic circle on the ground surrounded by magic crystals.

But those precious magic crystals have been taken away.

"Damn, these bastards looted it so thoroughly!"

"One day, I will find your lair and take back all these resources."

Cao Xing said this hatefully, and continued to look around unwillingly.

And at this moment, he seemed to accidentally catch a glimpse of a gray-white treasure chest!
It was used as a storage box, placed casually in the corner of the tower, covered with dust.

"Oh? Could it be a silver treasure chest?"

With a little curiosity, Cao Xing walked forward and the system prompt appeared.

[Found an unlocked Haoyue treasure chest, do you want to open it? 】

Cao Xing: “!!!”

"Holy crap! This is actually a Haoyue treasure chest!"
