The tasks related to the construction of Elson City are cumbersome and time-consuming. For Rody, who is currently severely short of manpower, there is no need to waste energy. However, Rody can get a lot of information from them by just glancing at the names of these tasks.

In any case, "Elson City" can be regarded as Rody's biggest gain since he came to this world, and it is also the operation where he won the most loot... And of course such a big city can give Rody more than just

The title of "Lord of Elson City" is so simple.

Rody opened the [City Construction Column] unique to "City Lord" and read all the data about this city.

In the game, each city has a calibrated "city level". The higher the level, the stronger the city's prosperity and defense capabilities. For example, the largest "Holier City" in Everta, in Roddy's impression, is

It is a moderately prosperous city rated at level 7. Most of the more developed cities in the Karen Kingdom are concentrated in the southern part of the kingdom. Among them, the "Temple" where the "Roses Cross" is located and the royal city are undoubtedly the highest level, rated at level 14.

Because there is such a reference standard, when Rody saw the numbers in the [Urban Construction Column], his heart rate doubled...

Because the level calibrated above is "Level 17".

However, behind this level, a gray word is displayed: "The city is in ruins, the actual level is 4."

The so-called "deserted" naturally means that the city is uninhabited at this time and there is no productivity at all. However, "Level 17" is obviously the previous level of this city - Rody licked his lips and tried hard to hide his inner feelings.

Excited, but secretly determined to build it into the most powerful city in the kingdom!

[City View Bar] presented Elson City in front of Rody in a three-dimensional perspective, allowing him to carefully view the detailed data of all buildings. However, when scanning the perspective, Rody discovered that there were many

The buildings were all red. After clicking to inspect them, he discovered that these buildings had conditions such as "population standards required", "charged crystal standards required" and other conditions written on them, and they were currently in a "unusable" state.

This may be the price of a level 17 city being reduced to level 4.

Roddy understood that there was no pie in the sky. He exhaled and began to inspect the "outer city" area - in the chart, residential areas, trade areas, small squares, shops, opera houses, etc. were all marked with green fonts.

It is "available for use", and at the north and south ends of the outer city, there are two symmetrical red areas: "Military Camp Area".

Clicking on the military camp, Rody could see the internally equipped school grounds, dormitories and a series of infrastructure for training the army. After checking the description, he found that two thousand soldiers could be trained here at the same time!

This is definitely an incredible thing, because in this era, humans generally do not have a "military camp": lords lead troops to fight, and they always ask their subordinate knights to recruit soldiers from their own fiefs. The strength of such a source of troops varies.

Qi, with poor equipment, can fight a smooth battle, but is unable to cope with high-intensity and large-scale battles.

Once there is a "military camp", Rody can quickly train high-quality troops in large quantities and have more confidence to deal with powerful enemies.

This should be regarded as an unexpected gain, but what surprised Rody even more was the "Arms Factory" also marked in red next to the military camp!

This is completely different from the "blacksmith shop" that is currently common among humans. It can even be called a real "factory" - because of the charged magic crystal as energy, the production technology of the high elves is already in the "semi-mechanized" stage, and even has derivatives.

Out of the rudimentary assembly line production model, the efficiency and quality have completely surpassed the workshop-style blacksmith shop!

Rody looked at the instructions. As long as the start-up standard of "400 charged crystals" and "40 workers" is met, and enough ore is prepared, the place can be put into production at any time!

Roddy saw a large list of craftable ordnance in the "Ordnance Factory" option, and found that as long as there are recipes, equipment below "exquisite level" can be made here... and several of the lists of craftable equipment at the bottom of the list are even more confusing.

He was shocked...

It was a huge, lost city defense and siege equipment!

However, after looking at the astronomical list of materials for these ordnances, Rody shook his head, stopped lusting after it, and turned his attention to the inner city.

He knew that these things were too far away from him at this time, but he casually glanced at the dense red letters of "Inner City", and he still couldn't help but have the urge to swallow his saliva——

There are seven "arcana research laboratories" of different categories, three "weapons research and development rooms", a large number of "granaries" filled with food seeds in different categories, four large "civilian libraries", and one "royal exclusive library", each

Various "museums", "altars", "arbitration courts", "arcane colleges"...

These names are complicated and have different meanings, but in Rody's eyes, they all represent one word: technology.

This is the crystallization of high elf civilization technology... Mastering them will inevitably mean an overall improvement in productivity, competitiveness and combat effectiveness!

Roddy finally realized how amazing this harvest was. Where is this city? This is simply a microcosm of high elf civilization!

However, except for low-level buildings such as the "Granary" that are open, the other buildings basically have extremely high resource requirements - Rody previously believed that the city of Elson needs at least 4,500 "charged crystals"

Only in order to activate the basic defensive array, but now it seems that if you want to activate and open all the buildings, you may need 45,000 "charged crystals"!

"What a waste of money..."

For ordinary people, this is definitely a stifling astronomical figure, but Roddy, as a modern person, quickly accepted this fact: This is just like doing business, a small clothing store may only have a profit and loss of hundreds of thousands a year.

Yuan, but a central enterprise bank has at least hundreds of billions of funds in profit - Elson City is not a fief of low-level knights, it is a real fortress-level city that can live in tens of thousands of people!

Rody tried hard to take his eyes away from the building descriptions, then closed the [City View Bar] and slowly calmed down his agitated mood.

He knows very well that it is a vast and difficult project for anyone to completely restore the city to its level 17 peak, and the most important thing is... he has not yet mastered the "Charging Crystal"

manufacturing technology.

Without "charged crystals", it means that the value of Elson City cannot be fully realized.

Roddy always feels melancholy after a surprise. He looked at the city in the darkness with his eyes in a daze, but he understood that... he might have to go to Mogra Village.

******

The night gradually deepened, but Camilla didn't feel sleepy at all.

Her mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts, and the panic in her heart never disappeared... Until now, she could not accept the fact that she could never leave Elson City again.

She has no intention of thinking about what "Khadgar's Blessing" is. Camilla, who originally studied arcane arts, has not even thought about the difference between the arcane arts she has mastered before - she just

I know that I have now become a "prisoner".

Being imprisoned here, Camilla didn't even know where to start her "resistance". No matter how unwilling she was, she only felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Do you really want to compromise with Roddy? What should Naifei do? Do you really want to ask him to help?

But Naifei is everything to him, and Roddy...is it worth entrusting him to?

Standing up unconsciously, Camilla slowly moved her somewhat stiff body, walked to the window sill of the bedroom and took a deep breath, trying to relax her tense nerves.

At this time, she could clearly see the city of Elson in the night - in the eyes of ordinary people, it was just a blurry outline in the darkness, but in Camilla's field of vision, everything was as clear as day.

She could clearly see the water vapor condensed on the swords at the waists of the patrolling guards, and could hear the conversations at the sentry posts... Vision and hearing were infinitely amplified in Elson City. Faced with such a situation, Camilla even

A ridiculous idea came to mind: If my power becomes extremely powerful in the city of Elson, can I eventually be called the "God of Elson"?

She didn't know Turing's conspiracy to become a god. The idea at this time was just an accidental whim after gaining more power. Camilla had no interest in becoming such a "god". At this time, she

, what I am more worried about is how to regain "freedom".

With this thought in her mind, Camilla suddenly frowned... because she found that someone was staring at her.

Looking over at the first moment, Camilla and Nata's eyes suddenly met.

Twenty meters away, Nata, who was standing on the roof of the adjacent mansion, calmly looked away after staring for a second, and continued to stare at the Paschal Magic Tower in the distance in a daze.

In three months, Akasha lost weight due to worry, but Nata looked the same as before... It’s just that no one knew what kind of crazy training she had done during this period of time - experience

After several battles, Nata was well aware of the huge gap in strength between herself and Rody, so during this period of time, she practiced archery in an almost masochistic way...

She worked hard just so that when she saw Rody again... she would have enough strength to help kill the enemy.

She was not good at expressing herself, so after Roddy returned safely, she didn't even say a word of greeting.

It was only when night fell again that she realized that she had long been accustomed to climbing to the top of the building, habitually looking at the Paschal Tower in trance——

Because every night in the past three months, Nata spent it in the cold wind with such expectation.

Now that she has let go of her worries, it seems that her habits cannot be changed. However, Nata did not expect that she would meet Camilla here - she was not interested in chatting with him. After turning her eyes, she continued to look into the distance.

Lost in thought...

"If I remember correctly, you are...Nata?"

The unexpected greeting came, and Nata turned her head and looked over, but she didn't say anything, but there was some doubt in her eyes.

"If I guess correctly, you are a wood elf, right?"

Nata remained silent, but her brows furrowed slightly.

After all, there is a generation gap between the identities of wood elves and humans. She doesn't understand why Camilla emphasizes this point.

Her silence made the atmosphere a little awkward, but Camilla didn't seem to care, and just continued on her own: "My name is Camilla. Speaking of which... there may be some close friends between us.

relation."

Nata still didn't respond, which made Camilla's self-introduction very awkward. In desperation, Camilla paused and said softly: "I am a descendant of high elves. I think... you and I should have a common ancestor.

.”

This sentence finally made Nata's cold expression change slightly. She narrowed her eyes slightly, stared at Camilla, and whispered: "Speak directly if you have something to say." The tasks related to the construction of Elson City are cumbersome and a waste of time.

, there is no need for Roddy, who is currently severely short of manpower, to waste energy, but by just glancing at the names of these tasks, Roddy can get a lot of information from them.
