Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 93 Learn Spells
With a greatly increased population and capital, Gaoyabao began vigorous construction.

In the past, there were no people and no money, so the most important city wall was just a circle of wooden stakes driven into the ground as decoration.

Now that everything is ready, we naturally have to start building the city wall.

Highcliff Castle does not keep idle people, so all the trolls and other stupid guys were sent to the Kaas Mountains as coolies to transport huge stones used to build the city walls to Highcliff Castle.

After discussing with the Fed craftsmen for a night, Levi decided to build a wall eight blades high around the slope of the hill.

This is undoubtedly a huge project. Considering the current number of people in Gaoya Fort, it is not realistic to complete it without more than half a year.

Therefore, in the early stage, a five- or six-edged wall is built first, and then it is gradually improved later.

The knight novels may be magnificent heroic epics, but the reality is nothing more than all kinds of petty calculations and schemes, and the last one standing will be the winner.

The importance of a city wall is self-evident.

Another point is that the wooden huts that were originally built for convenience and speed are not practical in the wilderness. The disadvantage is that they consume too much wood and cannot meet the needs of the growing population of High Cliff Castle.

Moreover, the gaps in this kind of wooden building are also difficult to deal with. The winter in the wilderness can be extremely cold and windy. Once winter comes, this kind of house will find it difficult to resist the white wind that penetrates through all gaps.

Levi had been planning to reform for a long time, but he had not had the time and manpower before, so it was delayed until now.

His plan was not to demolish the original wooden houses, but to reinforce them with clay inside and out. This method was very practical and could solve the problem of keeping warm in winter without having to demolish the wooden houses that had been built with great effort.

Considering that the subsequent timber was not enough to meet the housing needs of Gaoya Castle, Levi decided to build future houses with a combination of wood and bricks and stones.

He has already handed over the key points of firing red bricks to the Fed craftsmen. According to the current situation, it will only take half a month for the first batch of red bricks to come out and see the effect.

After all, firing red bricks is not difficult. These craftsmen have been engaged in construction for their entire lives, so they will quickly understand it just by asking them to do so.

This is entirely due to the obstruction of knowledge and views.

No matter what it is, the first step is often the hardest. Once you take this step, the subsequent innovation and transformation will be much easier.

Cement is a little bit difficult to produce. It can be produced with the current size of Gaoyabao, but it is difficult to mass produce.

After all, grinding alone would consume a lot of manpower, so the lord put it aside for now and decide whether to make it or not depending on the situation later.

Although the trolls are not very smart, they are strong enough and are suitable for pulling carts, which does not require much technical skills. Even if the wheels are tangled up in weeds, they can still use their huge strength to move them horizontally and pull them away.

When they occasionally wanted to slack off, the Gaoyabao soldiers acting as supervisors would whip them severely with cowhide whips, and then a long, mournful cry would be heard in vain.

When they reach the destination, they will eat the two large buckets of unknown food given to them as rewards, and they will be so happy that they will completely forget the pain they have just experienced.

In order to avoid the idle Levi, he took Zat and Hogg to the river to laze around.

A few days ago, he took some time to ask the craftsman Fed to carve a deck of playing cards out of wood. After teaching Hogg and Zat, the two became visibly addicted to the game and would play a few rounds whenever they had free time to kill time.

It is impossible for men to play cards without gambling something, but the two guys are so poor that they can't even afford a penny, so the lord can only bet the hair on their heads.

But Zat has a big bald head, so in the end we can only bet on the hair on his small head.

The two rookies were just getting started and were addicted to the game. They were honest card players and didn't know how to cheat. They were about to be beaten bald by a certain unscrupulous lord.

"My Lord!" the old man Sam shouted as he trotted down the hill. "The kobold has learned magic!"

"No more playing, no more playing, let's talk about business." Levi smiled and threw the bad cards in his hand into the pile of cards.

Looking at the two kings and four twos in his hand, Zat, who thought he could win this time, suddenly had a happy smile on his face. Hogg touched his bald scalp and grinned with relief.

"Tell me what happened in detail." Levi clapped his hands and stood up from the small stool.

"I was just teaching old Neil to learn magic, but I didn't expect it to be released." Sam said breathlessly.

"Oh? What spell is that? A healing spell?"

Levi asked with some joy. He didn't expect that Old Neil really learned magic.

This shows that the Lord's decision is completely correct! Wise!

When he returns, Levi plans to open a shaman class. The students will be selected from the ogres and orcs who are rich in shamans. He can even let the Fed people go and learn.

As long as two or three people learn the spell, Highcliff Castle will make huge money!
"Uh uh, sir, it's... soil fertility!" Sam said cautiously.

To be honest, he did not try to be cunning or hide anything, and he taught the old dog-headed man Neil the healing art exactly as the lord requested, but the old dog just couldn't learn it.

After thinking about it, it decided to give it a try and let it learn the spell recorded on the stone slab. Unexpectedly, it really learned it this time, but unfortunately it was the land fertilization spell.

This spell is completely insignificant compared to the more practical healing spells.

The gap between the two is extremely huge.

If a shaman who knows healing magic goes to Debe, he will definitely be treated as a guest of honor, but if he knows land fertility magic, he can only be a serf and farm the land.

"Land fertilization technique?"

Levi scratched his head. This result was contrary to his original idea. However, after he understood the effect behind this spell, he smiled again: "Everything will not be perfect every time. The soil fertility spell is also very good."

Levi had heard of this spell. It was said that it could increase crop yields by about 30%. If used in conjunction with the farmyard manure he made, Gaoya Castle would no longer have to worry about food in the future.

"And what about old Neil?"

Levi asked with some confusion.

Logically, after he had learned the spell, given this dog-headed man's personality, he would have run over to lick his shoes and offer him the good news.

"My magic power was exhausted, I fainted, and I am resting in bed."

Sam answered honestly.

After all, for a novice shaman, one spell could use up all the magic power he had gained from meditation, and then cause him to faint. This was a very common thing.

Some stupid trolls awaken their spells and may even scare themselves, then start casting spells indiscriminately, causing their magic power to be severely depleted and they die.

Neil, this is normal.

"Let us go and see Highcliff Castle's newest warrior."

Levi smiled and walked towards the mountain.

Sam, the veteran shaman, looked down on rubbish spells like Fertility, and Levi understood that, after all, he was not a lord.

In a sense, this spell is more useful to High Cliff Castle than healing spells.
