Chapter 28: The Trouble That Comes Sooner or Later
Chapter 28 The Trouble That Would Come Sooner or Later
While Maya was busy with the territory, Owen was moving things in the secret room of the dungeon.
The volume of the Synthesis Furnace was not small, if not for the fact that the Dungeon Chamber had been expanded to three hundred square feet and three meters high, it really couldn’t be accommodated, even so it took up close to half of the area, so it had to be cleared out to be large enough, in this way, the original layout of the Dungeon Chamber had been destroyed, and a lot of things were piled up together, which made it look a bit cluttered and crowded.
“It seems like we need to re-plan and build the second level of the Dungeon Chamber.” Owen, who had laboriously moved half a day’s worth of things, rubbed his arms and said somewhat helplessly.
“But let’s try to see how effective the Synthesizing Furnace is first.” After redeeming it with great difficulty, Owen couldn’t care about his sore arms and couldn’t wait to start trying it out.
The synthesis furnace that was similar to the square pod was said to be a furnace, rather than a special alchemy synthesis array, and had a very single function, which was synthesis.
However, single also represents specialization, so the effect of the synthesis furnace is unexpectedly strong, theoretically as long as there are enough materials, he can easily obtain a variety of synthetic materials, and even be able to do biorefineries, but only such non-natural people as demons can withstand the rough biorefineries of the synthesis furnace, even if a normal person survives, he or she will also turn into a moron or a lunatic, after all the synthesis furnace did not even consider the use of the ordinary people.
As for the upper limit and limitations of the synthesizing furnace, Owen’s current ability can’t touch it, and when he does, he will definitely have a better choice.
The only problem is that the synthesis furnace is not an unlimited energy source, the energy needed comes from absorbing the surrounding magic and the energy generated by the decomposition of substances.
The castle is not a place with enough magic, it can only be said that it is better than nothing, as for the energy generated by the decomposition of substances, ordinary substances will definitely not be able to be consumed, it is not enough to consume.
As for the energy generated from the decomposition of substances, ordinary substances would definitely not work, and would not be enough to consume. Those that met the requirements would need to be exchanged from the system with progress value, so it would be better to use the progress value to start the synthesis furnace directly.
So before finding a suitable energy source, the synthesis furnace can not be used too often, try to use the magic power that can be restored, of course, if he is willing to use progress value, naturally everything is fine.
Unfortunately, it is okay to use progress value occasionally, but he can’t afford to consume it in the long run, after all, the more the territory develops, the higher the demand for progress value, Owen imagined a self-sufficient territory, but now it seems to be far away.
Owen didn’t rush to study the synthesis furnace, after he exchanged it, he had plenty of time to study it, now he mainly utilized the progress value to exchange soldiers and materials to increase the territory’s heritage.
Because the less progress value, the faster the recovery, in time for the fall harvest, Owen exchanged ten bow cavalry, the rest of the progress value is mainly to fill the Magic Horn Forest Wooden Village, where the power is still a little thin.
Soon Owen realized how wise he was to redeem the bow cavalry.
Bow cavalry belonged to a kind of light cavalry, especially good at riding skills, not to mention bandits, wild beasts can’t outrun them, as long as they enter the range, death is just a matter of time, so they have been hunted down and killed.
Last year’s dry and rotting heads on the gallows were soon replaced by new ones, and at the same time there were more free laborers in the territory, I just hope they can last longer this time, and don’t die in the winter just like the last batch of laborers.
Owen would have mercy on the serfs, improving their living conditions and letting them survive the cold winter, not to mention forcing them to work in the winter, but he would not have mercy on the bandits.
Don’t care what the reason for being a robber is, when you choose to be a robber, you are already prepared to plunder other people’s wealth and life through violence, such a person is a hidden danger to live, unless there is a special talent, otherwise how could Owen leave them behind for this little labor, so they work until death is the only end of their lives.
However, the robbers are only a small problem that Owen needs to face, the other problems that will come soon will not be so easy to solve, HYDRA I and HYDRA II are not much time left to fight for him with their lives, and he will have to face the problems that will come one after another by himself. Although Owen was prepared for this, being prepared didn’t mean he wasn’t worried, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to have peace of mind.
The worst thing about the Northland border was not the barrenness, but the fact that it was almost exclusively filled with enemies other than himself.
The endless bandits and unsuspecting neighbors are a headache, but the real danger is the Northland barbarians and the beast tide.
Although the barbarians are human beings, but more tall and strong than ordinary people, especially the bones, not only thick, but also very hard, and thick skin, pain nerves are not strong, the harsh environment has a very strong endurance, at the same time, because they have been maintaining tribal habits, resulting in the barbarians are not only courageous and ruthless, but also easy to get on the head, once the blood rushes to the top, no matter, the most courageous of which is called the berserkers.
Simply put, although the barbarians drink, fight, cut people, but for people is very simple, and at the same time to the human race has made great contributions.
When mankind and many foreigners to fight for survival space, the barbarians are mankind’s best ally, is the closest brother, for this to throw their heads and spill blood, credit, but when the fruits of victory is about to come to hand, this half-brother also lost a lot of time, mankind is not surprisingly turn the other cheek.
Because of the successive battles and heavy losses of the barbarians together with their defeated foreigners together by the human army to the bitter cold of the north, the barbarians along the way not only to fight against the human army, but also to guard against together with the foreigners moved north, can imagine how miserable life.
If not for the barbarians fighting strength is really strong, coupled with the strong people in the clan to life to spell out a way out, there will not be the emergence of the barbarians in the North.
But hundreds of years later, when the empire internal problems, still the first time to transfer the contradiction to the north, the barbarians are pitched.
The biggest loss of the Empire’s Northland Pioneering Corps is the battle with the Northland barbarians, well, the barbarians have lost too much of their inheritance, and so far there are no strong men, coupled with the Empire’s blockade, there are not even decent weapons, how to beat the unscrupulous Pioneering Corps, not to mention the Imperial Border Troops that are eyeing the Northland barbarians from the sidelines, and therefore the Northland barbarians decided to continue to move north.
The problem is that the further north the colder it gets, the colder it gets, the harder it is to survive, even if the barbarians are brave and good at fighting, and have a strong adaptability to harsh environments, it is not possible to live by drinking the wind and drinking the snow, so the territories of the northern border nobles often face invasions by the barbarians of the north.
Why Hydra I is so famous in the Northland, is to kill the Northland barbarians to kill out, he is only a few Northland masters who cut the Northland barbarians almost as much as ordinary people.
Unfortunately, the Northland barbarians are also not vegetarian, the surface is fine Hydra I, in fact, the injury is not light, otherwise it will not be so easy to die.
HYDRA I, for HYDRA family to lay down a territory, at the same time left a great reputation.
HYDRA II, the father of Owen’s body, although far from being able to compare with his father and elder brother, still used his life to clean up one of the biggest wolf packs in the neighborhood for him.
It was the sacrifice of these two members of the Hydra family that bought Owen a few years of smooth development.
But sooner or later what should come will come, vengeful northland barbarians, migrating wolves, and unsuspecting neighbors, Owen’s future days will certainly not be lonely.
