Chapter 22: Turning Mud into Stone
After the earth veins were spiritualized, Rhodes began to guide Mo Tian to explore the underground water veins.

On the west side of Pingdingshan is the flowing Hanshui River. Finding the water vein is not difficult. As the fossils were dredged into mud, a large pit began to appear next to the magic field.

A crack appeared at the bottom of the pit, and clear groundwater gushed out from the spring.

The falling water drops sparkle in the sunlight

The river water continued to accumulate and eventually formed a small lake ten meters wide.

Rhodes wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh after relaxing.

He looked at the masterpiece in front of him. An acre of sandy land had been successfully transformed into a magic field. The smooth soil was shiny and oily.

There is also a mountain lake next to it that connects to the Hanshui River, and the lake surface is clear and transparent.

[First-level low-level magic field]

[Quickly digest all internal impurities, maintain magic plants (can maintain up to first-level intermediate magic plants), accelerate growth (first-level low-level magic plants are accelerated by 10%)]

Next, as long as nutrients are continuously provided to this acre of magic field, it will be able to independently maintain various magic plants and allow them to thrive.

There was no need for Rod to take care of it himself.

Pressing gently on his temples, he relaxed his mind.

When using the earth veins to dredge the magic field, it will put a great burden on the mind.

According to his current wizard level, Rhodes knew that he could create one acre of magic field every day, and the maximum capacity was fifty acres.

The spiritualization of the earth veins is equivalent to him signing a contract with the earth.

If the number of magic fields is too large and exceeds Rhodes' spiritual carrying capacity, it will backfire.

And there is a high probability that the Demonic Field will fall out of control and transform into an earth demon that devours everything.

Judging from the red warning in the wizard's manual, that's probably not going to be fun.

After finishing the construction of the magic field today, Rhodes felt that the surroundings were a little quiet.

He turned around and was surprised to find that all the villagers around him had stopped what they were doing.

He was kneeling on the ground with a pious look on his face, kowtowing to him continuously.

Time goes back to two hours ago.

When Rod first lit the trees.

The flames that rose up not far away attracted the attention of the villagers who were working, and they looked over curiously.

But they were incomprehensible to find that the trees they had worked so hard to cut down were actually burned by that adult!

"This, sir?" The young man who was chopping trees diligently was suddenly stunned when he saw this scene, and the strength in his hands slowly slowed down.

"This is top quality wood, our future home," he murmured to himself, feeling sad.

The bricks and stones transported to the fortress were expensive. They were the materials for building castles and walls, so he didn't dare to expect too much.

Now that the wood is gone, are they going to have to sleep in tents for the rest of their lives?

In Songguo Village, he witnessed the hero's heroic act of killing a rogue knight and was impressed by his benevolent virtue of caring for the common people.

This made him believe from the bottom of his heart that this lord was different from other nobles, and he chose to follow him.

In order to prove himself to that adult, he devoted himself to various tasks and did not dare to slack off for a moment.

But now, he looked at his companions who were cutting trees around him, and there was confusion in each of their eyes.

"Don't let your imagination run wild! Maybe it's just that, sir," Lily explained anxiously, noticing their expressions.

As she was struggling, her voice gradually became quieter. "It's just that I'm afraid we'll be cold, so..."

Luke walked over, looked at his daughter, and motioned for her to shut up.

When Luke saw the rising flames, he didn't feel too much fluctuation in his heart.

This gentleman has a strong leadership charisma, so it is normal for him to make some problems in territory construction.

It is difficult for nobles to be without faults.

Luke knew that these guys were just influenced by the army and had blind faith, so they found it difficult to accept it for a while.

This is a good thing. The relationship between the villagers and the lords will eventually return to peace.

Just as Luke was thinking about how to tactfully persuade this adult to stop this behavior, he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.

As the adult pressed down with his palm, the earth trembled, the ground surged like waves, and the soil changed from barren sand to loose fertile soil.

What made him even more dizzy was.

When the adult raised his other hand, spring water gushed out and a lake appeared out of thin air before his eyes!
"'.On that day, the Heavenly Father made a covenant with the king and gave his descendants a land flowing with milk and honey, which was the promised land of freedom.'"

Luke stood there in a daze, unconsciously reciting the gospel prayer he had heard in the big city.

That is the legend of the Royal Capital, the City of Restoration.

Before he knew it he had fallen to his knees.

The villagers behind him suddenly realized what was going on after hearing his prayers.

The panic and fear in their eyes turned into ecstasy at this moment, and everyone rushed to kneel on the ground.

This was the scene Rhodes saw when he turned around.

Looking at the rows of kneeling villagers and listening to the prayers muttered by their leader Luke, he felt a little overwhelmed.

The promised land is the city of revival, and his Pingdingshan is not going to join in the fun.

Please don't recite it anymore. It might attract the attention of some weird creatures and a weak wizard like me won't be able to withstand it.

"Keep working, don't kneel here and waste time." Rhodes interrupted their prayer and warned Luke, "The Gospel belongs to the authority of the church. Remember, you can't recite it here."

The villagers and Luke kowtowed devoutly before getting up. As if energized, they once again diligently cleaned up the residential area.

Watching the villagers disperse, Rhodes did not correct their thoughts.

It wouldn't hurt him to spread some legends about God the Father and Rosedale.

It can effectively offset the outside world's speculation about him after the development of the territory.

At least in this way, no noble would dare to label him a devil, and he could avoid political slander.

A few hours later, the army led by Raven returned after going to deal with the wolf pack.

He was carrying more than twenty dead winter wolves behind him, and had captured a severely injured Ice Blade Wolf alive, with its body tied up with iron chains.

White Bread was running around excitedly in front of the other person, occasionally baring his teeth provocatively at this guy who was much bigger than him.

Under Rhodes' arrangement, the blood of the winter wolf flowed into the magic field, and the cut pieces of meat were stewed in the hanging stove as dinner.

He came to the Demon Field with the crushed bone powder of the winter wolf.

Then he dug out a large piece of sand nearby and pressed it into the shape of a long brick.

Rhodes poured a solution made of bone meal, a little magic field soil and lake water onto the sand.

Alchemy witchcraft: turning mud into stone!

The loose sand began to bite into each other and compressed inward.

After just a few seconds, the cracks and holes on the surface disappeared, turning into a flat, hard rectangular sandstone brick.

Rod slammed the sandstone brick hard against the stone next to it.

The latter had a chipped surface, but the sandstone bricks were intact.

After stacking multiple sandstone bricks and pouring in the prepared alchemical binder, you can get a solid house wall.

"Sandstone bricks need to be combined with the bone meal of wild animals. For clay bricks, the bone meal should be replaced by wood ash."

Rhodes improved the formula of the alchemical binder.

Using the magical soil provided by the magic field, he can produce a large amount of binder that can turn mud into stone and speed up the construction of the territory.

Once the construction of the residential area is completed, the next task will be to try to make higher grade bricks.

Marble bricks are used to build castles, and granite bricks are used to build city walls.

Turning fossils into mud and mud into stone, these two alchemical magics allow Rhodes to build his own house as he wishes.

Everything in the territory is on track.
