Chapter 95: Mastery
Tang En, returning from the experimental field, was shocked and amazed when he saw the tower and arched bridge that had suddenly appeared.
"Your Lordship's talent is unparalleled!"
Tang En could understand at a glance that the combination of the arch bridge and the tower could easily create an extra three acres of suspended sweet potato fields.
As he walked and looked around, he soon arrived at the bottom of the bridge. Looking at the empty area at the bottom of the arched bridge, which was two meters wide, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he jogged up the tower.
They bumped right into Ron, who was about to go downstairs.
Tang En said impatiently, "My lord, I have discovered a way to increase the number of suspended fields for rock potatoes."
Ron assumed that the problem Tangen was referring to was planting ground yams on both sides of the arch bridge, since that was his initial idea.
Ron said, "Oh, what's the method? Tell me about it."
Tang En took Ron's hand and led him to the window on the seventh floor, pointing to the bottom of the arch bridge.
"My lord, if you build another platform at the bottom of the arch bridge, with a two-meter gap, we can plant three more acres of sweet potatoes. Just leave enough space for the sweet potato vines to pass through when planting the sweet potatoes. Moreover, if we build a platform every five meters, harvesting the sweet potatoes will be much easier."
Ron hadn't quite grasped what Tangen was suggesting, but Hilden did.
If these areas are all built with high platforms, it means that these platforms can also serve as defensive platforms for archers defending the city during wartime, thus increasing the attack area by a much larger amount than that of towers.
Hilden said eagerly, "My lord, Tangen is right. These platforms can be used to manage and harvest wild potatoes in peacetime, and they can also serve as defensive platforms in wartime."
Ron's mouth gaped slightly as he listened. He had thought he was quite formidable, but he hadn't expected his two subordinates to be even more ruthless.
In particular, Hilden's fear of inadequacy was practically incurable.
After a long pause, Ron finally said, "Okay, I understand. It's already dark. I'll build the platform first thing tomorrow morning."
Then, at an inopportune moment, Ton and Hilden's stomachs began to rumble.
Ron couldn't help but chuckle and patted his two men on the shoulders.
"Let's go eat first!"
The next morning, after having breakfast, Ron went to build the tower platform. Because of the tower and the cliff as a foundation, he added four inclined columns on both sides of the platform to increase the support.
When the platform was completed, Leonardo da Vinci arrived, bringing with him a handwritten letter from old Hall.
As soon as he entered the inner city, he was awestruck by the towers before him.
"My God, what has the lord built this time in just a few days?"
Ron emerged from the tower: "Da Vinci, what happened in the territory?"
After giving a knightly salute, Da Vinci said, "Lord Rondo's friend is escorting a group of refugees. They should arrive in the next couple of days. Butler Hall, please return immediately."
Ron thought for a moment and then nodded.
"Thun, let's go back!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Hilden asked somewhat reluctantly, "Then, my lord, when will you come again? If we follow your plan, at least four hundred more towers need to be built. We've only built one so far. I wonder how long it will take to complete them all."
Upon hearing Hilden's words, Leonardo da Vinci was stunned. He glanced at the towers and then at the empty inner city, unable to comprehend the scene of over four hundred towers standing side by side.
"Such a massive siege cannot be accomplished in a single day."
Ron said irritably, "That was just a pie in the sky I made for Hilden last night, and this guy actually took it seriously."
"My lord, the heavy guards are ready."
"Let's go back!" Ron, no longer wanting to deal with Hilden, pulled on the reins and returned to the territory.
Thun and his twelve heavily armored guards could only chase after him on foot.
It wasn't that Ron was mistreating Thun and the others, but the territory was desperately short of warhorses. Last time they had six Ash Horses, and they still only had six Ash Horses.
It wasn't that Ron didn't want to increase the number, but he was powerless to do so. He wanted to capture Ash Horses, but he couldn't. The six horses in his territory were all mares, so he couldn't breed them.
As for the other warhorses, there were only the three that were originally brought, but unfortunately they were all castrated and could not be bred.
After a while, the territory had only nine warhorses, three of which were ordinary warhorses left in the knight training camp for knight apprentices to use for training.
It is said that each knight apprentice can only ride for half an hour per week, since warhorses also need rest. Therefore, the knight apprentices in the territory, though they have the name of knight apprentices, are very likely to become heavy guards like Thun in the future.
Unfortunately, humans are far less adept at running on two legs than the Grimm.
On the way back to the main city, Ron looked at the five-kilometer-long western city wall and felt a headache coming on.
Territory building is a long and arduous task!
The original plan for building the western city wall was to gradually enclose and establish the western district, but to this day, the other three city walls have not yet been built.
Now there's also the tower construction in Fengshou Town, which makes my scalp tingle just thinking about it.
Lost in thought, Ron returned to the main city. Compared to the pleasant temperature of Harvest Town, the main city was far too hot.
If conditions allowed, he really just wanted to stay in the pit courtyard.
Inside the pit courtyard, Ron wasn't busy in the territory as usual, but meditating in his room. He was too tired these past few days, and building the tower yesterday had consumed too much magic power. It was impossible to recover naturally; he needed to combine it with meditation to fully restore his magic power.
Ron sat cross-legged on the bed in the cave and began meditating to restore his magic.
He had used up too much magic power in Harvest Town these past few days, accelerating the growth of four experimental crops, building three underground buildings, constructing towers, and erecting arched bridges. Each of these activities drained his magic power, and if it weren't for the system helping him recover, the consumption would have been quite excessive.
Once the consciousness sinks into a meditative state, the sounds of the outside world gradually fade away.
Footsteps echoed in the courtyard of the pit-style house, Mrs. Moriel's voice checked the inventory upstairs, and the changing of the guard bells rang from the watchtower on the distant city wall.
All the sounds were clearer than ever before, something I had never experienced before.
The mage's meditation technique, which was running in the background on the system panel, was also in operation. The two cultivation paths did not interfere with each other; one restored magic power, and the other accumulated spiritual power.
The magic pool slowly rose under the guidance of meditation.
The moment the magic pool filled up, the speed of the meditation technique suddenly increased, like a stream breaking through a stone dam and rushing into a wider body of water.
The capacity of the magic pool began to expand. Originally, it only had a little over 3,200 magic points, but within a few seconds, it expanded to 3,300, 3,400, and 3,500 points, and it continued to grow.
Ron suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the system panel.
A new notification is flashing.
"Meditation proficiency has reached the threshold. The Architect Mage's exclusive meditation technique has been mastered. The conditions for breakthrough in both spirit and magic have been met. Advancement begins."
