Arcane Universe

The power system of these cranes is the same as the power system of the magic wheel. They all come from magic. The difference is that the power system of the magic ship converts magic energy into water, and the crane The power system is to convert magic energy into force energy.

Under the combined action of magical constancy and force transformation mechanism, these cranes can lift tons of goods tirelessly.

Actually, Feng Chou is not the first time to see this kind of magic crane. For example, the port of Yaduni, but in other cities, this kind of crane is not at all used intensively. There are only four in a port. Five sets are scattered on different docks, far from being compared with the busy docks of the industrial world.

But in the port of Casalanka, dozens of magic cranes are densely erected on more than a dozen large adjacent trestle bridges, like the busy industrial wharf on Earth.

On the wharf, Sharma with a back height of more than 2.5 meters, two by two, pulling a heavy-duty tracked carriage with a load of nearly ten tons, between the trestle and the yard, quickly moving The cargo unloaded by the crane is evacuated to the storage yard, and then sent to various parts of the city by a trackless carriage with a smaller load.

Sharma is a kind of horse that comes from the “Shire Hills”, the hometown of halflings. This kind of horse has a mild temperament, a huge body, a weight of more than one and a half ton, and great strength. Even in hilly areas, It can also pull several tons of cargo uphill.

It’s ridiculous to say that this kind of giant horse is raised by a halfling who is less than one meter tall.

Feng Chou got off the boat, left the wharf area from the dedicated pedestrian passage, called a taxi waiting at the exit, and went straight to the city’s largest mercenary union.

The Mercenary Federation of Casalanca, like Yaduni, is located in the Commerce District near the port in the Western District.

When I saw this mercenary general union, Feng Chou was shocked by its size. It occupies an entire block.

This mercenary union looks like a city within a city. The city wall is four buildings facing the street. The four buildings are connected together to form a square castle, enclosing an entire block.

The door of the mercenary union opens to the west. Entering through the door, it is a very wide office hall. Inside the hall, there is a fence. There are hundreds of windows on the fence. Behind the windows, there are hundreds of people. The clerks are busy all the time, and there are mercenaries waiting in line for tasks in front of every window.

In front of the other three walls in the lobby, there are many task boards erected on the boards, densely packed with posted tasks.

More mercenaries gathered in front of the board, looking for tasks that suit them.

At a glance, the whole hall was crowded. Universe Pagoda told Feng Chou that there were thousands of mercenaries in this hall.

Feng Chou walked around the hall and left the mercenary hall. It seemed to have nothing to do, but in fact, the doubled scanning function of Universe Pagoda has eliminated all tasks in the hall. record it.

By the time Feng Chou walked out of the lobby, Universe Pagoda had already completed the analysis of thousands of tasks.

A task was recommended to him by Universe Pagoda.

Task type: Territory development task

Task sponsor: Benedict family

Development location: Eastern Casalanka, upper reaches of Modima River, It is located in a large mountain plain similar to Antalia County in the eastern mountain range.

Development method: The Benedict family, the church of the nobles and the gods of Knight, and the agricultural Goddess church, cooperated with three parties and adopted the “contribution currency system” for development.

……

Feng Chou walked around the streets of the mercenary union while listening to the report of the Universe Pagoda spirit.

This is a large task, and there is a lengthy task description below the basic information of the task.

First of all, the Benedict family.

The Benedict family is a merchant family that rose up in Tyron. Its family has an earldom in the southern part of the empire. The purpose of developing a new territory this time is to raise the family’s knighthood to a marquis.

Next is the development location.

In the eastern part of Casalanca, there is a duchy named Mortima duke. The Mortima river is the main river of the Mortima duke. It originates from the mountain range in the east. This big river starts from After rushing out of the eastern mountain range, it rushed for hundreds of kilometers on the plain, and then poured into a large lake of tens of thousands of square kilometers. This large lake is the Modima Lake, and the fertile land along the coast is the Duke of Modima. Core land.

After passing through the buffer of Modima Lake, the Modima River departed from the west of the lake and continued to flow westward. Finally, it merged into the Owendale River in the southern part of the city of Casalanca.

Upstream from the mouth of the Modima River, you will soon enter a mountainous area consisting of broken hills and fine mountain plains. After passing through this mountainous area, you will arrive Named by the Benedict family as a land to be developed in the Benedict Plains.

Generally speaking, the participation of the church is indispensable for territory development. Among the human gods, the nobles and the gods of Knight and the Goddess of agriculture are the gods who support the development of new territories. They often cooperate with some emerging forces to develop New territories in exchange for exclusive missionary rights in some emerging areas.

The forces that develop the territory will also draw on these two churches. On the one hand, they will increase their strength. On the other hand, when the territory is successfully developed, the churches will be indispensable in the territory.

The so-called meritorious Silver Coin system means that the developer first conducts an overall assessment of the development territory, calculates the area of ​​the territory that can be developed, and then takes a part of these developable territories as development remuneration, according to the remuneration The total area of ​​the territory produces a corresponding number of meritorious Silver Coins.

The Meritorious Silver Coin has a special material and has a divine force as a mark, which cannot be counterfeited.

The developer uses the Meritorious Silver Coin as a reward to recruit mercenaries and external forces to jointly develop the territory. Eventually participating developers can exchange the Meritorious Silver Coin for land development rights.

In this process, mercenaries and other external forces involved in the development will not get other rewards. They need to prepare their own weapons and join the development of the territory. They will not be paid until the new territory is successfully developed. You can use the meritorious Silver Coin in exchange for the right to develop a high-quality territory as a reward.

Most mercenaries will sell meritorious Silver Coin in exchange for real Silver Coin, because the funds needed for the subsequent development of the territory are not affordable for mercenaries.

This kind of development method can greatly disperse the economic pressure of territory development. Meritorious Silver Coin can not only exchange a large number of free helpers, but also attract a large amount of funds to participate in the development of the territory.

Of course, these situations are not the reason why Universe Pagoda recommends this task like Feng Chou.

The reason Universe Pagoda recommended this task to Feng Chou is that on the Benedictine Plain, there is an Arcane Tower from the Arcane Empire.

There have been many relics during the Arcane Empire.

“A certain lucky man made a fortune in a certain Arcane Empire ruins” was once an enduring link in the mercenary story.

Feng Chou has to go to the mercenary union every time he goes to a city, hoping to find some missions to explore the relics of the Arcane Empire. If he can’t enter the Mage Academy, then this kind of Arcane relic is probably the only one he can currently Where to get spell data.

However, this is not the time when the Arcane Empire just fell a thousand years ago. After a thousand years, the remains of the Arcane Empire have been trampled by countless mercenaries and adventurers. Became flat ground.

The Arcane tower on the Benedictine Plains can be kept because it is a remnant tower.
