Chapter 34
Chapter 34
Thanks to Thanos' solid basic knowledge of the undead in the past two and a half years, he was able to think very smoothly about the architectural plan of the ziming tower.
If you were someone else, you might have to think about the conditions for the birth of will-o'-the-wisps, as well as the difference between soul-fires and will-o'-the-wisps.
And after the time travel, he seems to have the ability of photographic memory, the knowledge he has seen before can immediately appear in his mind when needed.
In thinking, half an hour soon passed.
With the continuous inspiration in my heart, the prototype of the psychic tower was gradually perfected in my heart.
At this time, Ai Ruo also came back with big and small bags of food.
"Lord mayor, I'm back. I bought your favorite pork belly and tiger prawns, and I'll cook them for you tonight. Don't forget them in a hurry."
After she finished speaking, she found that the mayor did not reply, and she knew that the other party had fallen into deep thinking again.
And she, who was used to this kind of situation, went to prepare breakfast on her own after she finished speaking.
Then there is cooking, eating and so on.
After ten minutes.
While eating with relish, Chidi, Thackeray and Wilkin, who were wearing leather armor and a sword shield, brought Sarah over.
"grown ups."
Thanos swallowed the white bread, then pointed to other seats and said, "Sit."
Chitty, Thackeray and Wilkin sat down immediately upon hearing this.
Sarah wanted to open her mouth to ask, but seeing this scene, she could only keep her mouth shut, and sat down obediently.
Probably because the weather is starting to heat up. Today she wore a cooler black dress, which highlighted her strong capital.
It has to be said that as a Euro native, her capital is not small.
But it's a pity, probably because of her age, Thanos, Chidi and others didn't look at her at all, as if they were not interested.
After a while, Thanos finished drinking the milk, and let the zombies and skeletons who had been on standby stand guard outside the door.
Seeing this, Ai Ruo consciously put away the plate and left.
"I called you here this time to ask how the purple tin mine is doing this month, and whether I can go to Meck City?"
After speaking, 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 sale of purple tin mines must go through the hands of the other party to be considered legal.
After all, among the purple tin mines sold, % belonged to Fengling Town, % belonged to Black Leaf Tower, and the remaining % belonged to him.
And there is no tax collector appointed by Fengling City, and Meck City will not accept it.
Sarah heard the words, thought for a while, and said, "My lord mayor, according to the usual situation, ten carriages should have been filled a week ago, and then the convoy set off.
However, due to the recent attacks by the indigenous people, the civilian population in Zixi Town has been seriously drained, and the mining efficiency has been greatly reduced, so only eight carriages have been filled until now. "
Thanos nodded, and said without hesitation: "Since the eight carriages are full, let's go first."
Now he is most short of money, but it doesn't matter ten carriages or eight.
Get the money first.
Sarah just wanted to retort instinctively, but when she remembered the opponent's method, she nodded immediately.
"Okay, my lord."
In fact, ten horse-drawn carriages can control costs and income to the greatest extent and maximize benefits.
After all, the convoy needs to hire people and soldiers to set off, and there are also possible sneak attacks by the natives on the road. Naturally, the more people the better.
And under normal circumstances, the mayor has no right to control when the convoy departs.
But that said, that's normal.
She didn't want to die young and experience the feeling of long sleep early.
What's more, even the wizard law enforcement team has nothing to do with the mayor, so she dare not resist.
So what else can I do, I can only agree.
Seeing that Sarah had no objections, Thanos began to discuss the departure of the convoy.
It was not until noon that the details of the convoy's departure were finalized.
The convoy starts tomorrow.
And Kitty and Thackeray will bring sixty soldiers and forty skeleton soldiers to escort them.
Although the skeleton soldiers need to replenish their soul fire every seven days, they only need to go to Mek City, and it only takes four days to go back and forth, so there is no problem at all.
At the same time, he also learned that under normal circumstances, a carriage can bring him a tax of one hundred gold coins.
As for the speed of mining, on average, a carriage can be filled every three days, and it starts once a month.
But recently, due to the passing of civilians, this time will be extended.
After sending Chitty and others away, Thanos's mind flashed a plan to let the skeleton soldiers go down to the mine to mine.
If skeleton soldiers are allowed to mine, in fact, the current skeleton soldiers are the most suitable.
After all, as long as the mining power is strong, it doesn't matter if the speed is slow.
But as I thought before, without cheap soul fire, everything is useless.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent only forty skeleton soldiers to escort the convoy.
He bought ten magic stones, theoretically, he could create about a hundred skeleton soldiers.
However, a magic stone must be left 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 the draft paper, and began to design the ziming tower.
The ziming tower can't be too low, if it's too low, it can't absorb the soul fragments in the distance.
A height of about ten meters is enough, so that it can absorb the surrounding diameter of about 100 meters.
By the way, should the psychic tower design an energy conversion array, so that the converted soul fire can be turned into an energy attack to achieve the effect of defending the city.
Well, this idea can be improved in the future, but for now it is better to be down-to-earth and take it step by step.
In 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 the words fell, the door was pushed open, revealing Wilkin's figure.
"Sir, are you looking for me?"
With a wave of Thanos' hand, all the draft paper on the ground was grabbed by an invisible big hand, and then placed on the table.
"Well, I have something to tell you."
Wizard Hand, which is generic zero-level sorcery.
Universal witchcraft can be learned by wizards of all departments. Its characteristic is that it has no characteristics, and it is weak in both attack and defense.
It's good to use as an aid though.
Like tidying things up, removing stains and so on.
Wilkin said respectfully, "My lord, please give me instructions."
"I want the right to use the cemetery in the north of the city."
In front of his subordinates, he did not intend to hide his thoughts on these trivial matters.
Wilkin asked suspiciously: "My lord, should I rob it directly, or buy it?"
"I want him to give it to me willingly."
