Mage Lord: The Tech Tree is Skewed by Me

Leon didn't intend to put himself in danger, and he didn't think that as a time traveler, he could be unscrupulous.

In his opinion, the golden finger is only his strength, not his capital to commit suicide at will.

Even though they were far apart, he could still feel the aura of ancient magic in the dense forest not far away.

Combined with the seemingly crazy words of the bard in front of him, Leon would naturally choose the former without hesitation between a smooth return and collapse in the middle.

He doesn't think he has the halo of the protagonist.

"Your only mission this time is to safely transport this batch of iron ore to Antolia. Other than that, no extraneous matters are allowed!"

Leon glanced at Todd and said coldly.

The soldiers of Antolia are good at everything, but they like to disobey orders and have too much personal consciousness.

And this is the reason why Leon previously asked Antolia's militiamen to stand in a military posture and practice formation. It is not because standing in a military posture will make them super awesome. The original intention of asking the militiamen to stand in a military posture is purely to train the soldiers. of obedience.

Even though it is still the age of cold weapons, a well-disciplined army at least looks intimidating!

"I understand."

Looking at Leon's face that gradually became more serious, Todd quickly replied.

…

Thorn collar.

The old butler Aaron had already led people to guard the city, waiting for the return of the viscount.

As the temperature rises, the snow on both sides of the road begins to melt, and the dry and cracked land gradually becomes muddy and wet, and you will step on a puddle of mud with almost every step you take.

But even so, the militiamen who were assigned to guard the house still lined up neatly in two rows.

Although the weapons in their hands are all kinds of strange, from axes to swords, from spears to bows and arrows, their unique spirit is enough to make everyone who has seen them exclaim:

"Good! Very energetic!"

The Year of the Jackdaw is about to pass, and spring is about to come when all things come alive. Leon finally returns to his loyal Antolia at this time point.

"Lord Viscount!"

Aaron not only sent cordial greetings to the young Viscount who returned, but also presented him with a thick fur suit.

"Well……"

Leon was stunned: "It's a bit hot, isn't it? Is there something wrong with the thermometer we built earlier? It shouldn't be!"

Aaron was speechless for a moment and quickly explained:

"During the days when you went to Parma City, the Antolian citizens found a way to raise elk and geese!"

"Use the bones of the plateau hounds as the backbone of the fence and fill the gaps with solid stones. As long as those stupid elk and geese smell the scent of the plateau hounds, they will not dare to rush into the fence."

"And this dress is made of elk and goose fur."

Hearing this, Leon couldn't help but beam with joy, and happily took the thick fur and put it on his body.

Quite warm!

"You have done a great job!"

Leon praised without hesitation.

Although raising elk and geese may sound like a trivial matter, it is not.

On a small scale, this can enrich Antolia's single industrial structure, which is now extremely dependent on the sale of moonlight velvet; on a large scale, it can give Antolia more capital to survive the cold winter. A lot less people died.

Leon never wanted Antolia's development to depend entirely on one person, even if that person was himself.

In his opinion, although he is the supreme ruler of Antolia, dictatorship must be dictatorial, but in specific matters, only through collective efforts can Antolia take off the label of poverty and chaos.

Therefore, accompanied by Yalen and others, Viscount Leon Jimena of Antolia visited the elk and goose farm located in the southeast corner of the Thorn Territory and explained to the workers at the farm the importance of hard work.

Spring is here, can winter be far behind?

Only by combining personal interests with the interests of the Viscount, can Antolia achieve stability and make progress!

"The laborers who built these farms came from Graywater Keep, and the idea of ​​raising elk and geese originally came from the Fast Priests."

Aaron never takes the credit of others.

Seeing that his lord was in a good mood and everyone around him was watching eagerly, he naturally couldn't forget to ask for credit for everyone.

"Labourers from Graywater Keep?"

Hearing this, Leon couldn't help but ask: "How many people did Todd capture from Gray Water Castle... No, how many refugees did he recruit?"

"Nearly seventeen hundred people."

Aaron took a deep breath and revealed the number that also shocked him.

Graywater Castle is not an important southeastern town like Parma City. Graywater Castle has a total population of only more than 10,000 people. After experiencing the invasion of plateau hounds and the mass flight of its residents, less than half of the population is left in the city.

And Todd actually arrested 1,700 people in one go!

This is already a quite outrageous amount.

But Aaron did not finish his words.

"Considering that Antolia is in urgent need of all kinds of craftsmen, the mercenaries put most of their time and energy into recruiting craftsmen."

"Among these 1,700 people, the number of various craftsmen and craftsman apprentices is close to 100. I was almost shocked when they were first sent here."

"I sent two hundred people to build the elk and goose farm, and the rest of the people were sent to participate in the renovation project of the old houses in the Thorn Territory."

Todd blushed and scratched his head, then continued: "The main reason is that it takes a lot of time to find the craftsmen, otherwise we would have to capture more than two thousand people."

Leon held it in for a long time, and finally could only use two words to express his mood at the moment:

"Niubi!"

You know, even the craftsmen brought back by Leon from Parma City, there are only about fifty people in total.

But the mercenaries led by Todd and the Lapruk Army managed to gather nearly a hundred craftsmen from the small Gray Water Castle, which almost brought back all the living craftsmen in the Gray Water Castle.

There are 1,700 people from Gray Water Castle, 800 people brought back by Leon from Parma City, plus the original people of the Thorn Territory and the Lapruk people who have taken refuge with their entire clan...

Today, the total population of Antolia has exceeded the 7,000 mark and doubled in less than half a year after Leon took over.

Among them, the refugee population indirectly caused by hound attacks accounts for nearly a quarter, so... is artificially creating refugees the fastest way to achieve population growth?

If Leon hadn't come back this time and bought a lot of food from Parma City, Antolia might have encountered a new round of food crisis.

But this also reminded Leon.

As the population grows and the temperature gradually warms, the time has finally come when the black earth generation technique that has been dormant for a long time in his hands should be put to use.

I raced against time to code one chapter, but I’m not sure if there will be a second chapter today. I’ll do my best~
