Chapter 123 Construction Begins

Early morning, Pingdingshan.

Rhodes woke up from his sleep, rubbing his cheek with a strange expression, and still felt a faint phantom pain on his face.

After finishing his trip to the snowy mountains and finally returning to his warm big bed, he thought he could have a good sleep.

Judging from the results, it was indeed so. He slept soundly and had a very soft and beautiful dream.

After turning over the quilt and taking a look inside, he got up and went into the bathroom to clean up.

After changing into clean clothes, Rhodes washed his face with cold water to calm himself down, and suddenly shook his head with a look of confusion.

The first half of the dream was nothing special. It was a normal reaction after feeling the unique softness and fragrance of the girl up close.

After all, your body is in the most energetic teenage period.

I have no resistance to that softness and can remain restrained in reality, but in dreams I can't help wanting to have a deeper experience.

Everything went well in the first half of the dream.

In the familiar room of my own in Jianling Castle, my hometown where lavender is blooming.

The girl showed off her smooth and fair skin. She shyly covered her chest with her arms and let him approach with a blushing face.

All the materials had been seen in real life, which made Rhodes' memory of the dream particularly clear.

But what happened next caught him off guard, as a cute girl with blonde hair suddenly broke into his room.

It turned out to be his younger sister Alice, running into his room with bare feet.

When she saw the girl on the bed, the smile on her face disappeared, and she immediately jumped up angrily and kicked him in the face.

Kicked Rhodes out of his soft dream directly.

"Uncontrolled dreams, perhaps the aftereffect of using the mottled divinity to quickly improve spirituality? It's weird."

Rhodes looked at his face in the mirror and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no actual footprints on it.

It was strange enough to be suddenly intruded upon by my sister when I was having that kind of dream.

What's more, Alice is so cute, how could I bear to kick him?

After waking up completely from his sleep, Rhodes changed his clothes and left the room.

Due to the influence of the dream, he got up a little late today and the sun was already high in the sky.

There was no snow in the north during this period, and the temperature in Pingdingshan remained around minus ten degrees Celsius.

Under the sunshine, you can feel the comfortable warmth.

It is already mid-January.

It has been more than half a year since I left my hometown, Jianling Castle, Rhodes thought.

He looked at the residential area on the top of the mountain, the busy residents coming and going, and then at the cavalry galloping on their horses halfway up the mountain.

There, the Royal Guard Battalion was holding a cavalry competition.

Elite cavalrymen raced with all their might on the track halfway up the mountain, their horses' hooves raising large clouds of snow.

With the growth of strength and the development of territory, unlike the initial obscurity, the name of the White Horse Knight is now well-known in the Broken Dragon Fortress.

Everyone in the Hanshui River Basin where he is located knows him.

Looking at everything in front of him, Rhodes felt a faint sense of satisfaction in his heart, which also made him miss his sister Alice even more.

When you have achieved something, you inevitably want to share it with others.

He had an average relationship with his father, Duke Bert, and what Rhodes missed most was his close relationship with Alice.

He was looking forward to the girl's cute expression with her mouth wide open when Alice arrived at the territory.

But not now, Rhodes patted his cheek and regained his fighting spirit.

He recalled what he had learned about the resurrection of the evil god in Shadow of the North.

The hidden dangers in the north could erupt at any time, so he had to speed up the development of the territory and accumulate strength without stopping. Standing on the top of the mountain, Rhodes watched the riding competition of the cavalry halfway up the mountain, and learned from Noah the list of outstanding cavalry.

After finishing his military duties, he quickly came to the Demon Field area.

Rhodes stretched out his finger, and with the sound of its wings fluttering, a bee that looked like an ice crystal sculpture with white lines inside landed on it.

This is the Ice-winged Bee Queen Bee after the normal evolution of the Northern Black Bee.

On the way back, Rhodes used the Ice Vein Fruit to evolve an ordinary queen bee.

Unlike the Blood Queen Bee, the Ice Wing Bee has no fighting ability.

However, it can produce nutritious pure white honey, speed up the cultivation of knights, and is the perfect choice for resource output.

For Rod, they are also good helpers in cultivating hybrid barley.

"After the land in Hanshui River Valley is reclaimed, 20 pounds of hybrid barley seeds will be planted per acre, and 300 pounds will be harvested in three months."

Based on the data measured in the experimental field, Rhodes calculated the next farming conditions of the field.

The seed-to-harvest ratio of hybrid barley is 1:15.

That is to say, to cultivate 50,000 acres of arable land, he needs to pollinate more than 3,000 acres of it and cultivate hybrid seeds.

As for the other 46,000 acres of arable land, no pollination is required.

After the seeds are degraded, they can be used as food for the territory and can also be sold externally, greatly reducing the financial burden of the territory.

Rhodes currently has a small amount of hybrid seeds, only enough to plant more than 100 acres.

It will take at least a year to continuously cultivate seeds before the arable land can be planted in the future.

Having said that, Rhodes was still in a good mood.

The path to growing grain has been made clear, which means that the most troublesome problem of direction has been solved. All that remains is the slow accumulation of time.

Letting the Ice-winged Bee Queen return to the protection of its colony, Rhodes looked inside the magic field.

The hybrid barley in the river valley plains developed well, but the magic plants in the magic fields encountered problems.

Under Rhodes's gaze, whether it was high-grade barley, high-grade black wolfberry or ice vein fruit, each plant was drooping weakly.

It was obvious that he was malnourished and starving.

As for why this was so, he looked towards the center of the Demon Field.

There was the only magic plant in good condition. The leaves of the newly arrived ice crystal snow lotus stood upright, greedily absorbing the nutrients of magic.

Currently, the main source of nutrition for the magic field is the sewer system of Pingdingshan residents plus peat soil fertilizer.

Raising a first-level magic plant is not a problem.

But the Ice Crystal Snow Lotus is about to be promoted to the second stage, and its demand is extremely strong, so it will spontaneously plunder all the nutrients around it.

While the two hundred acres of magic fields nourish it, it also means that other magic plants cannot absorb nutrients.

"It's almost time." Rhodes looked at the sky and took out the blue crystal in his arms.

The corpses of Warcraft and Orcs are not always available.

In order to solve the problem of insufficient nutrients in the magic field, we have to rely on the magic pool to gather the surrounding magic power.

"The first is to form a magic gathering array that absorbs magic power, with Pingdingshan as the center and spreading out to the surrounding areas."

Rhodes called the ash stove rat in the fireplace and used its magic flame to purify the quartz sandstone.

Produce quartz columns that are more than five meters long.

There are thirteen in total, and each one is inlaid with blue agate as the core.

Then anchor the second-level wolf soul and the souls of the twelve first-level Ice Blade Fang wolves in it, using it as the main part of the Demon Gathering Array.
