Chapter 34 The convoy sets off

Thanks to Thanos's solid basic knowledge of the undead in the past two and a half years, he has been able to think very smoothly about the construction plan for the ziggurat.

If it were anyone else, they would probably have to think about the conditions for the birth of will-o'-the-wisps, as well as the differences between soul fire and will-o'-the-wisps.

After traveling through time, he seemed to have the ability to remember everything he had seen before, and the knowledge he had seen before could immediately appear in his mind when needed.

While I was thinking, half an hour passed quickly.

With the inspiration constantly pouring out of my heart, the prototype of the Ziggurat was slowly perfected in my mind.

At this time, Ai Ruo also came back with large and small bags of food.

"Mr. Mayor, I'm back. I bought your favorite pork meat and tiger prawns, and I'll cook them for you tonight. Remember not to forget them in your busy schedule."

After she finished speaking, she found that the mayor didn't reply, so she knew that the other party was deep in thought again.

As she was used to this kind of situation, she went to prepare breakfast after finishing speaking.

Then comes the cooking, eating and other stages.

After ten minutes.

While they were enjoying their meal, Chidi, Thackeray and Wilkin, wearing leather armor and swords and shields, came over with Sara.

"grown ups."

Thanos swallowed the white bread, then pointed to other seats and said: "Sit."

Chidi, Thackeray and Wilkin heard this and sat down immediately.

Sara wanted to open her mouth to ask, but seeing this scene she could only close her mouth and sit down obediently.

Probably because the weather was getting hotter, she wore a cooler black dress today, which highlighted her strong assets.

It has to be said that as a European, her capital is not small.

But unfortunately, probably because of her older age, Thanos, Chidi and others didn't look at her at all, and seemed uninterested.

After a while, Thanos finished drinking the milk and asked the zombies and skeletons who had been waiting to guard the door.

When Ai Ruo saw this, he consciously put away his dinner plate and left.

"I called you here this time to ask how the purple tin mine is doing this month. Can I go to Meike City?"

After saying that, he looked at Sarah.

The reason for letting the other party come over is naturally because the other party is a tax collector, and the purchase and sale of purple tin mine must go through the other party's hands before it is legal.

After all, 50% of the purple tin mines sold are from Fengling Town, 40% are from Black Leaf Pagoda, and the remaining 10% are their own.

And without the tax collector assigned by Fengling City, Meike City will not collect it.

Sara heard this, thought for a while, and said: "Mayor, according to normal circumstances, ten carriages should have been loaded a week ago, and then the convoy set off.

However, due to the recent attacks by the indigenous people, the civilian population of Zixi Town has been severely reduced, and the mining efficiency has been greatly reduced, so only eight carriages have been filled up until now."

Thanos nodded and said without hesitation: "Since eight carriages have been loaded, let's set off first."

Now he is most in need of money, but he doesn't care about ten carriages or eight.

Get the money first and then talk.

Sara was about to instinctively retort, but thinking of the other party's methods, she nodded immediately.

"Okay, sir."

In fact, ten carriages can control costs and income to the greatest extent and maximize profits.

After all, the convoy needs to hire personnel and soldiers when setting off, and it also has to face possible sneak attacks by the indigenous people on the way. Naturally, the more people, the better.

And under normal circumstances, the mayor has no right to control when the convoy sets off.

But as I said, that's normal.

She didn't want to die young and experience the feeling of eternal sleep early.

What's more, even the wizard law enforcement team can't do anything to the mayor, so she doesn't dare to resist.

So what else can I do but agree to it?

Seeing that Sarah had no objections, Thanos began to discuss the departure of the convoy.

It wasn't until noon that the details for the team's departure were finalized.

The convoy will set off tomorrow.

Chidi and Thackeray will be escorted by sixty soldiers and forty skeleton soldiers.

Although the skeleton soldiers need to replenish their soul fire every seven days, it only takes four days to go to Mek City and back, so there is no problem at all.

At the same time, he also learned that under normal circumstances, a carriage could bring him one hundred gold coins in tax revenue.

The mining speed is such that a carriage can be loaded every three days and set off once a month.

However, due to the passing of civilians recently, this time will be extended.

After sending Chidi and others away, Thanos had a plan in his mind to let the skeleton soldiers go to the mine to mine.

If skeleton soldiers are allowed to mine, the current skeleton soldiers are actually the most suitable.

After all, as long as the mining power is high, it doesn’t matter if the speed is slower.

But as I thought before, without cheap soul fire, everything is in vain.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent only forty skeleton soldiers to escort the convoy.

He bought ten magic stones, which could theoretically create about a hundred skeleton soldiers.

But a magic stone must be left behind to replenish the soul fire for the skeleton soldiers in Sumante's army two days later.

After continuing to think for a while, he returned to the house, took out his scratch paper, and began to design the ziggurat.

The ziggurat cannot be too low, otherwise it will not be able to absorb distant soul fragments.

A height of about ten meters is enough, so that it can absorb the surrounding diameter of about a hundred meters.

By the way, should the Ziggurat design an energy conversion array so that the converted soul fire can be turned into energy attack to achieve the effect of defending the city?

Well, this idea can be improved in the future, but for now it’s better to be more down-to-earth and take it step by step.

While thinking, time slowly came to night.

"Dong dong..."

Hearing the knock on the door, Thanos raised his head from the desk.

Looking at the drafts on the ground and the moon outside, he realized that it was already very late.

"Come in."

As he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, revealing Wilkin's figure.

"Sir, are you looking for me?"

Thanos waved his hand, and all the scratch papers on the ground were grabbed by an invisible hand and placed on the table.

"Well, I have something to tell you."

Wizard's Hand, this is a universal zero-level witchcraft.

Universal witchcraft can be learned by wizards of all departments. Its characteristic is that it has no special characteristics and is weak in both attack and defense.

But it's still good to use as an aid.

Such as tidying up things, cleaning stains, etc.

Wilkin said respectfully: "Please give me your instructions."

"I want the right to use the cemetery in the north of the city."

In front of his subordinates, he had no intention of hiding his thoughts on these trivial matters.

Wilkin asked doubtfully: "Sir, should you rob it directly or acquire it?"

"I want him to give it to me willingly."
