Lord Harland

Harland led the discovery of Snow Crystal Lake last year. Inside the Snow Crystal Lake is a natural magic well. Because there was no magic circle gathering, a large amount of magic energy escaped from the center of the Snow Crystal Lake. Along the Snow Crystal Lake area, many places have high magic concentrations.

This kind of area containing magic can be developed into a magic plant plantation.

Although there is a small magic well inside the Crystal Lake, the magic concentration around the lake shore is relatively low, far less than the plantation inside the Mage Tower. Without the various temperature and humidity control arrays inside the mage tower, it is impossible to effectively convert the energy in the magic crystal, and it is impossible to grow medium and high-level magic plants, but it can grow magic plants with very low magic power requirements.

Poison Aconitum is one that requires very little magic power.

Starting last summer, Harland led the magicians to visit the shores of Snow Crystal Lake and found sixteen locations that could be developed into magic plant plantations.

Among them, boiling flowers were planted in five plantations with higher magic concentration.

Boiling flower is an auxiliary material for refining the Tenghui potion, and the price of one flower is about one gold coin. One acre of magic plantation can grow 240 beads. Last year, the number of Boiling Flowers planted in Harland's territory exceeded 80 acres.

In the three magic plantations controlled by the territory, 80% of the land is planted with this magic plant. As for the moonlight grass, another auxiliary magical plant used in refining the Tenghui potion, it is mainly planted in the mausoleum of Princess Ofland.

Princess Oflam's Mausoleum is a large magic well, and the internal environment is very suitable for growing magic plants with negative energy attributes.

Although the Harland Territory was still unable to control the mausoleum, Richard had a small amount of cooperation with Princess Marta. With Princess Marta's permission, Richard divided the area with the Church of Dawn and built a magic plantation outside the princess's mausoleum. , planted a large number of magical plants such as moonlight grass.

The magic plantation of the princess mausoleum is successfully developed, and the Harland territory can refine the Tenghui potion, so that raw materials can be self-sufficient.

The five plantations with high magic power have a total area of ​​more than 60 acres. If they are all planted with boiling flowers, even if they are sold, they can get 14,000 gold coins, which is a lot of extra income.

The cost of establishing a 60-acre magic plantation is very low. It only requires hiring a dozen farmers, building a few buildings near the plantation, sending a magician to regularly inspect and care for it, and paying up to dozens of gold coins a year.

The remaining eleven magic plantations are not suitable for growing boiling flowers because of their low magic concentration, which can be used to produce poisonous aconite.

Eleven magic plantations have opened up a total of 306 acres, and each acre can grow 300 poisonous Aconitum plants. More than 90,000 poisonous aconite plants were added in one year, and more than 90,000 bottles of medicine could be refined.

More than 90,000 bottles of medicine will undoubtedly be of great help in developing the wilderness of Harland territory.

In late June of this year, Aconitum will mature. With sufficient mosquito repellent, the number of indentured servants dying from mosquito bites will be greatly reduced, and the cost of developing new territories will also be reduced a lot.

When Harland leads the climax of wasteland development, this medicine can still be exported.

A bottle of potion can be sold for the low price of one gold coin, but you can also get a lot of gold coins. Insect repellent will become another flagship product of the pharmacy department.

Not long after Richard returned, the Harland Territory once again received good news. After five years of accumulation, Sophia's magic level has taken another step forward, and she has been promoted to become the second eight-ring magician in the Harland Territory. .

Sophia is four years older than Richard, and is already thirty-nine years old this year. Although she takes good care of herself, her skin is still smooth and white, but her condition is no longer as good as when she was young.

For a woman who loves beauty, aging is gradually coming, which is ultimately difficult to accept.

The window period during which Sophia can maintain her beauty is probably only five or six years, over forty-five years old. No matter how pampered you are, no matter how well you take care of yourself, aging will eventually come.

In recent years, Sophia has spoken to Richard several times, hoping to go to Markholm Magic Kingdom together to trade some water of life to extend life and preserve youth.

It's just that Harland's territory has been facing war, and neither of them can leave. Sophia went to Markholm Magic Kingdom alone to seek a legendary treasure like the water of life, but Richard was worried.

The thirty-nine-year-old eighth-ring mage was considered a young and promising first-class figure in Markholm Magic Kingdom who had the chance to break through into legend.

In a magical desert like the Grant Kingdom, it has not been seen for hundreds of years.

The Grant royal family has been passed down for more than a thousand years, and there was only a legendary magician 600 years ago. It was thanks to the planning of this legendary magician that the Grant family successfully backstabbed the Venus family and became the leader of this country. owner.

It took nearly six hundred years before the Venus family welcomed a genius, Elena, who was promoted to a legendary mage.

After Elena was promoted to Legend, if Brenner hadn't been cunning and promoted to the third level of Legend Knight, and plotted against this person, the Venus family might have had a chance to control the government of Grant Kingdom and successfully usurp the throne more than ten years ago.

Sophia was promoted to the first level in five years, and Undine has been promoted to the eighth level for thirteen years. The bottleneck is still extremely stable, and there is no possibility of promotion.

Although elves and half-elves have long lifespans, it is far more difficult to advance than humans.

The bloodline of immortality increases lifespan, but it is also a shackle for promotion to transcendence.

There are people in human history who have been promoted to legends in their thirties, but the youngest legend in the history of the elves is over 280 years old, and the youngest legend of the half-elf is also over 80 years old.

A half-elf with pure blood like Undine usually has a life span of about 240 years. Although she is over sixty years old and can normally be Margaret's grandmother, for a half-elf, it is equivalent to a person whose bloodline has just matured. When converted to human age, she is roughly equivalent to a person in his twenties or eighties. .

A sixty-year-old half-elf can still maintain his youthful appearance for sixty years. Because of their long lifespan, elves and half-elves are naturally able to learn more knowledge when it comes to learning magic, and are often generalists proficient in various magics.

Before Sophia was promoted to the eighth ring, the magic research team she led once again made major achievements.

By studying the magic structure inside the energy-absorbing stone and magic crystal, the research team led by Sophia first converted the magic energy in the magic crystal into the energy-absorbing stone through a special magic rune structure, and then used the magic furnace to convert the magic energy into the energy-absorbing stone. The crystal is smelted into a standard module, and finally the magic energy is transferred into the standard magic crystal through a transformation array.

The standard magic crystal produced in this way will be exactly the same size and weight.

Sophia's invention has greatly promoted the standardization of logistics.

When the magic crystal mines are dug out of the ground, they are all in irregular shapes. In the past, magicians usually needed to cut the magic crystal before using it, and try to make the magic crystal into the same size.

Doing so will cause a lot of waste, and the cut irregular magic crystal waste will be difficult to comprehensively utilize.

After all, the magic props are used a lot and the magic crystal needs to be replaced. If the magic crystal is irregular in shape, the port inlaid with the magic crystal cannot be installed.

Alchemists have also made conventions for hundreds of years, and the ports for inlaying magic crystals have been standardized, and the sizes and shapes are almost exactly the same.

Over the years, many mages in the Dawn Plane have studied the use of irregular magic crystals, and the first method they thought of was fire melting.

The magicians wanted to smelt the magic crystal and then shape it.

It's a pity that the magic crystal material is not easy to smelt, and it also contains powerful energy. Once it is smelted with fire, it can easily cause an explosion.

The method of smelting with fire has been used for many years. The magician has studied a variety of alchemical potions that can be combined with smelting, but has been unable to succeed.

In addition to fire melt, magicians have also developed a special alchemical material, polymerization potion, through which irregular magic crystals can be plasticized. It's a pity that the price of polymerization potion is no less than that of high-end potions, and the cost of use is too high. It can only give plasticity to high-purity precious magic crystals.

The research team led by Sophia used a special transformation array to transfer a large amount of the magic crystal's power into the energy-absorbing stone, turning the energy-filled magic crystal into an empty magic crystal, and then heated the empty magic crystal through a high-temperature alchemy furnace. The blank magic crystal is smelted at high temperature, shaped and cooled, and then the transformation array is used again to charge the magic energy into the blank magic crystal.

This method avoids the explosion of magic power and can make use of discarded irregular magic crystals, which greatly increases the efficiency of the use of magic crystals.

According to statistics from the Harland mining department, one-third of the irregular magic crystals dug out from the raw mines are often cut and wasted. This technology is equivalent to effectively utilizing one-third of the irregular magic crystals.

After studying the irregular magic crystal smelting technology, Sophia created a new seven-ring magic energy absorption technique by referring to the internal structure of energy-absorbing stones, energy-absorbing runes, and the internal structure of magic crystals.

This new spell has a great restraint effect on plastic magic. But to release this spell, you need to make preparations in advance, carry a high-standard energy-absorbing stone, or modify your body organs to have the same characteristics as the energy-absorbing stone.

After creating this new magic and opening a new research channel, Sophia's meditation feedback immediately improved greatly. Her mental power increased by two points in just one month, and she was promoted to an eighth-ring magician quickly.

After being promoted to an eighth-level magician, Sophia's mental strength increased to thirty-seven points, which was higher than the average nine-level magician.

According to research from Markholm's Magic Kingdom, a battle mage who has no magic research talent and no refining potions to improve mental power will often have a mental power of 33 points after being promoted to the ninth ring. This level of mental power basically does not lead to promotion to legend. hope.

In fact, magicians who can be promoted to the ninth ring usually have some chance of success. Although potions that enhance mental power are very rare, you can usually get one or two. The mental power of an ordinary nine-ring magician is usually around thirty-six or seven points.

Some nine-ring magicians who are lucky can even have more than 40 points of spiritual power, and have a chance to break through the legendary bottleneck.

After Sophia married Richard, thanks to Richard's knowledge and guidance from his previous life, Sophia went very smoothly in the process of studying magic. She made three major research results and increased her spiritual power by as many as eight points through magic research.

Thirty-seven points of mental power is not the pinnacle for Sophia, because Sophia has already put on the agenda to refine the legendary Styx potion.

Two years ago, the leader of Harland discovered the tomb of Princess Oflam and captured a large number of soul crystals by hunting the undead.

The recipe for refining the Styx potion is very simple. It mainly consists of three types: soul crystal, moonlight grass, and dragon blood fruit.

There is the mausoleum of Princess Ofland in the Harland Territory. There are many high-level blood light grasses in the mausoleum. As long as Richard makes an exchange request, Princess Marta will definitely agree.

Harland Leader also has a lot of soul crystals in reserve, but only Dragon Blood Fruit purchased part of them last year.

Since last year, Sophia has personally refined some low-level Styx potions every month. In the past year, Harland has successfully refined more than forty low-level Styx potions.

A magician can take up to three Styx potions in his life. Once he takes a high-level Styx potion, it will not work if he takes a low-level Styx potion again.

The low-level Styx potion has a very average effect. It can only increase a little mental power and will affect the second dose.

The effect will be halved the second time you take it, and it will be halved the third time. In order to avoid affecting the effect of the legendary Styx potion, the middle and low-level Styx potion Sophia and other high-level officials of the Mage Association did not take it.

This year Sophia is still refining the Styx potion, because Harland has acquired a flying dragon, and the dragon blood fruit is also planted in the magic plantation. The raw materials for refining the Styx potion are already self-sufficient, and Sophia is also A dozen medium Styx potions were successfully refined, and these potions fell into the hands of Anne, Butler, Adrian and others.

In the war with the Undead Lord two years ago, the Harland leader did not capture the high-level soul crystals. Although there were more than twenty high-level undead creatures among the undead, Richard used starlight bombs to directly kill the high-level undead creatures in order to avoid increasing casualties. Exploded into ashes.

Although she did not have any experience with the advanced Styx potion, Sophia still had confidence in refining the legendary Styx potion.

Now the Harland Territory has a legendary soul crystal. A few days ago, Richard personally went to the princess's mausoleum and used a thousand magic crystals in exchange for an eighth-level moonlight grass. Now only the high-grade dragon blood fruit is left.

There are many giant dragons in the Dawn Plane. Although high-grade dragon blood fruits are scarce, they occasionally appear in cross-border auctions.

Richard and Sophia discussed that they would participate in a cross-border auction once the summer grain was in storage. If they purchased high-grade dragon blood fruits, Sophia would start refining the legendary Styx potion.

If the legendary Styx potion is successfully refined, it can increase 60 points of magic power. Whether it is given to Sophia or Wendy, it can greatly improve their qualifications and make it easier for them to break through the legendary bottleneck.

However, Richard is temporarily planning to let Sophia use it first. After all, his wife is always closer than his sister. Moreover, after Sophia uses it, her mental power will exceed forty points, and she can also awaken a talent, which will have a greater bonus to her combat effectiveness.

Harland has the enemy of the Undead Lord, and still has a chance to capture the legendary soul crystal. If there is another chance, he can leave it to Wendy for use.
