Half-elf Ranger

Although the Temple of Wisdom can rely on selling spell scrolls and healing spells for profit.

But Martha is just a new **** after all, and she has no background at all.

In order to absorb believers and strengthen his divine power, most of the cost of the temple will be offset by the contribution of belief, which means that there is no profit at all.

It is obviously impossible for all the territories to unremittingly support them.

After all, everyone has their own abacus, and even he himself cannot spend all the resources of the Emerald Tower on building the temple.

Taking a step back, even full support will take at least several decades to complete with their players' current capabilities and power.

Therefore, Thorne didn't want to mention this, because he was not worried at all about the development of the temple.

He knew one thing very well in his heart. When the new **** Martha's kingdom of God was completely stabilized, he would definitely pay attention to the Emerald Field.

However, seeing the hesitant expressions of the two towns, he knew what problems they faced.

So Thorne had a flash of inspiration and thought of a fairly good way to deal with it.

"You mean, the main reason for the delay in starting work is lack of money." Sarajan looked at Thorne.

Just after the lord of Twilight Town finished speaking, the expressions of the lords of the other towns were more or less ugly.

When it comes to self-interest, no one will be stupid and give in.

Moreover, everyone, including Thorne, will pay a lot of money to the Temple of Wisdom every month. If this fee continues to rise, it will be something that no one is happy with.

That's the real reason why Thorne never mentioned it.

"This is only one of the reasons." Thorne replied calmly: "The main reason why I suddenly brought this up is to tell you about my proposal."

Everyone looked at the ranger curiously.

Most people realize that Thorne is talking more in the conference room today than he has in recent years combined.

He was too active today, so active that people faintly began to worry.

"I think we can build an energy pool in the Temple of Wisdom, and then place the eyes of insight in various positions of the fortress." Thorne finished speaking, and sat down on the chair again. Just make up.

Eye of Insight!

When Thorne mentioned this familiar word, the first thing that popped into everyone's mind was the gleaming insight device at the top of the Emerald Tower.

It is the existence of the Eye of Insight that allows Waterfall Town to predict the enemy's movements and true intentions in advance almost every time, and make the most perfect response.

The town of waterfalls with the Eye of Insight is equivalent to having a 360-degree camera with no dead ends, and this camera can observe the scene within 50 kilometers at the farthest.

In addition to being unable to penetrate solid obstacles, this reconnaissance device is unable to block its peeps from hallucinations, darkness, and fog.

If the Watch Fort fortress has the Eye of Insight, its role can definitely be maximized, and the strategic significance is also very important.

"I agree with this proposal." Avatar, who was the first to think clearly, immediately agreed.

As long as the fortress of the Watch Fort has this magical eye, all the small-scale tribes trying to smuggle across the mountains can be found.

At that time, the Golden Thorn Rose Knights on patrol will be dispatched to eliminate them, and the hidden dangers of their town will naturally be lifted.

"I agree too." The lord of Iron Horse Town saw that his allies on the same front had turned against him, and he made a choice wisely.

Others agreed.

"Since everyone has no opinion, then this matter is finalized." Thorne was not surprised to see that everyone agreed with his proposal.

Then, he pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "As for the specific cost, how much each of us needs to share, I will let you know immediately when I return to Pushang Town to make a clear calculation."

When it comes to money, everyone's faces start to look a little ugly.

However, when he thought of the convenience that the Eye of Insight brought to the fortress, he endured it.

After all, Thorne three years ago could afford the cost alone.

At this time, the six towns are raising funds together, so it's not like they can't even get this money.

"Since the first proposal has been resolved, let's discuss the second issue." Sarajan tapped the hammer to stop the humming sound, then cleared his throat and sat up straight body:

"I think everyone should be very clear that with our reputation being launched, many compatriots from all over the world have gathered here, which is undoubtedly a thing to celebrate for us.

But the problem also followed, that is, the living area began to gradually become tight. Among our six small towns, except for Stallman Town and Horn Town, which are special and absorb the least population, the other four towns can only accommodate more than 40,000 people.

So, for the sake of our future, I am here to propose to you that it is time to join forces to build a city large enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. "

"We won't participate in Stallman Town, I think it's good." Avatar was the first to speak again, but his expression revealed more helplessness.

This was something he had thought about from the moment he entered the conference room, and had agreed with Ishak.

The resources consumed by building a city are too huge. As the poorest town among the six towns, he thinks it is better not to participate.

Moreover, even if the city is built, it will not bring much benefit to the tiefling race.

Although he really wanted to fight for a residential area for the tiefling race in the built big city, so that they could live in harmony with other races, but the cruel reality forced him to give up this choice.

"Understandable, what about Horn Town?" Sarajan nodded slightly, obviously expecting that the other party would not agree, and then turned his attention to the second uncertainty.

"We..." The Tiger Ranger, who had been looking out the window from beginning to end, turned his head. He hesitated for a moment, and finally, under the crazy hint of the war troll, looked at Thorne, who was sitting diagonally opposite.

When he noticed that the ranger nodded slightly to him, Sailu looked inexplicably relieved, and immediately replied: "I agree with this proposal."

"Very well, since we have six towns to agree on, it's time to decide where is the best place to build a city."

Sarayan glanced at Thorne unexpectedly, suppressed the doubts in his heart, took out a large map that had been prepared for a long time, and laid it flat on the table, signaling everyone to look.

"Carlos, what do you think?" Sarajan was the first to seek advice from the town of Falls.

"I've thought about it for a long time." Carlos chuckled, and immediately reached out and pointed precisely in the direction of the Forest of Tranquility:

"It is adjacent to the Forest of Tranquility to the north, Shadowmoon Valley to the south, and Shadowmoon Sea to the east. If you want to build a port city with convenient transportation, I think this is the most suitable place. It is across the sea from Saiput City. Looking forward, it is also more convenient to travel to the Northland Wasteland and Silverpine Plain by boat.”

"I don't think so," Sarajan retorted:

"I have considered the location you mentioned, but there are too many forests and the terrain is not flat. If you forcibly build a city here, you must use the power of magic to burn the forest and burn the wasteland, which will definitely welcome the Druid of the Emerald Garden. You Don't forget, Shadowmoon Valley to the south is where the druids live.

Therefore, building a city along the coast of the Sea of ​​​​Glory is the safest way. The terrain here is flat, mostly wasteland, and there is no worry about Druids making trouble. Most importantly, it is also extremely convenient for us to travel to the Southern Kingdom.”

People from Yuanshan Town and Iron Horse Town joined in.

Thorne, who saw it in his eyes, naturally understood that the people in these three towns might have already discussed it.

"Sahuagins in the Sea of ​​​​Glory are very rampant, and the route to the southern kingdom has long been interrupted. Besides, the southern kingdom has too many wars and chaos, and it can't be compared with the northern wasteland and the middle of the continent." Carlos retorted again. Road, and kept giving Thorne a look.

However, at this time Thorne ignored his crazy gestures at all, and instead looked at the map and pondered.

This made him roll his eyes in frustration.

"The Black Pearl Forest already has a small town that belongs to our compatriots, which means that it is difficult for us to absorb the population from there. It is better to focus on the southern kingdom." Sarayan retorted without hesitation.

"Don't mention the small town in the Black Pearl Forest. I visited it once a year ago. I can tell you with certainty that the small town will definitely compromise and bow to the Kingdom of Heskan in the end. It will be annihilation. After all, the land they occupied was not acquired for nothing." Carlos's tone did not mean to show weakness.

"How do you deal with the Druids of the Emerald Garden? Although these are borderless lands, are you so confident that the Druids will let us open up the wasteland?"

"I've thought about this for a long time. I'll try to convince those druids, so you don't have to worry about it."

...

The lively conference room turned into a debate between Salayan and Carlos in a short while.

However, there has never been a convincing result for both parties.

At this time, Thorne, who was looking at the map in deep thought, flashed his eyes, then raised his head and forcibly stopped the two men's mouth cannons, pointing to the Nosil Plain and said:

"Why do you have to build a city by the sea? I think it's good here. It's right in the center of the entire wilderness, and you can get it anywhere."

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at the place where Thorne was pointing, and immediately found that the location he was pointing to was the Nosil Plain in Stallman Town.

So he looked strangely at Avatar and Isco.

"Lord Thorne, what do you mean, are you going to build a city on the territory of our Stallman Town?" Avatar looked at Thorne in disbelief and asked questions.

"Is there any problem? I think it's very suitable here." Thorne asked with a slight smile.

"But...this is..." Avatar looked at Thorne speechlessly, and his words became a little incoherent.

He wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Ishak's eyes.

"I know, this is the site of your Stallman Town." Thorne explained to him with a smile:

"What you pursue in Stallman Town is nothing more than a stable and peaceful life. At that time, when the city is built, it will be enough to delineate an area for you to live in tieflings in the fringe area. Is the security of the city safe? Is it better than a small town surrounded by log buildings?"

"Having said that, you should also know that we can't afford the huge cost of building a city at all." After listening to Thorne's story, Avatar was a little moved, but when he thought of the resources that needed to be consumed, he couldn't help but worry.

"The size of the city we built occupies almost the entire Norhir Plain. Since this territory belongs to you, it will naturally give you some compensation." Thorne stopped Saraya and Carlos' words and continued.

"In that case, it's not impossible." Avatar and Ishak looked at each other with a relaxed expression.

If a heavily fortified and prosperous city can really delineate an area for the tiefling race, that would be the best thing.

Although tieflings are a race that is rejected by the world, if there are people who are willing to accept them sincerely, who is willing to hide in a corner where no one cares.

The most exciting thing for Avatar is that in a prosperous city with city walls and sanitation, if all the tieflings live in it, he will be more convenient to manage and guide them to be kind, so that these dark-hearted groups gradually become cheerful.

As the long-lost night lord said: she wants the world to understand that even if the blood of the tiefling race is polluted, it does not mean that the soul will follow.

"Okay, you two can talk." Seeing the Avatar figured out, Thorne looked at the two lords who were impatient.

"Then I'll say it bluntly, although the location you chose is in the center of the emerald field, it can almost be reflected in every small town and the Fortress of the Watch." Carlos took the lead and said:

"But the purpose of building the city is to absorb the population and turn it into a big city with both prosperous traffic and convenient transportation. This location obviously cannot meet this requirement."

"Do you have anything else to add?" Thorne looked at Sarajan again.

"This location is not suitable in the short term or in the long term." Sarajan pointed to the very center of the wilderness:

"Actually, from the world map, our wilderness is not a big site. The most important thing is that it is still on a peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides.

If we don't build cities along the coast, without convenient transportation, our speed of development and growth will become very slow.

In the past three years, you have also seen that the caravans that we have traveled through the entire wilderness have relied on carriages to get out step by step. What we need most now is a port city with convenient transportation in all directions. "

"What you said is very reasonable, but the coastal city also has a major disadvantage, that is, it is very far away from the fortress of the Watch Fort." Thorne nodded slightly, he naturally understood the meaning of these two people's words.

However, he still insisted on his choice. He pointed to the very center of the map: "You are thinking of convenient transportation. When I chose this location, I also considered this issue."

"What do you mean?" Sarajan and Carlos both wondered at the same time.

From that point of view, it is indisputable that this city in the middle of the wilderness does not have the convenience of a port city.

"With the city at the very center of the wilderness, can't we build other convenient transportation routes around it?"

Seeing the two people who still didn't understand, Thorne reminded Carlos a little helplessly: "Have you forgotten what your red dragon brother Argottus is researching recently?"

"A simplified version of the magic power plant, it is said that it intends to create an alien version of the construction train." Carlos said subconsciously.

Immediately afterwards, he immediately woke up: "You mean, build a city here, build train tracks around it, and then build a simple port by the sea."

"That's probably what it means. How to implement it specifically requires you to plan in detail." Thorne nodded slightly.

This idea is also his temporary idea. If it is really successful, it will definitely bring huge changes to the entire wilderness.

Moreover, the source of kinetic energy for this otherworldly version of the train with the Fel Powerplant requires elemental pool energy, just like a Construct Golem.

It just so happened that they were going to build a new energy pool in the Fortress of Watch Fortress, which could logically become a charging station for the construction of the train.
