    If you want a human, there is no problem at all!  Although no human warriors have appeared alive in the Lion Heart Valley as prisoners of war, as long as you are willing, it is not a problem to capture some prisoners and bring them back.  After hearing Syndra¡¯s request, the mages present breathed a sigh of relief. This matter is easy to handle.  Thinking about what Syndra might use these human captives to do, Ivan felt a little unhappy, but then thinking about what Syndra might ask for if what he wanted was not human beings He suddenly felt at peace.  , and then followed the trend and agreed to Syndra's request. Of course, the premise was that Syndra could really do what he said.  Syndra didn¡¯t care about the conditions put forward by Aiwen accordingly. She held her head high, proudly nodded left and right amidst the compliments, and then sat back on the chair like an uncle.  Ivan also thought that Syndra would not be able to do this. He said this just as a convention.  The most critical problem in building the Mage Tower has been solved. Then, the next thing to discuss is the specific actions. The mages are in a rare state of excitement. They express their opinions in the hall. It seems that the future of the Mage Tower is bright.  Ai Wen was a little absent-minded. It seemed that there was not much money to spend, because to build the mage tower, the mages needed to thoroughly study the relevant information, and then they would start to practice inscribing various magic patterns.  Ivan has read the information before. The magic patterns that need to be practiced are very simple. The structure is as slender and winding as a vine. Various simple, small but special magic arrays are scattered and drawn on certain nodes of the magic patterns.  Just like the leaves on a vine.  Except for the bottom and top, there is not much intertwining between the magic patterns, which makes it much simpler to draw, but corresponding.  The requirements for accuracy are extremely high.  These magic patterns are enough for these mages to practice for a while. When the land 'rich in magic' is upgraded to the land 'infected by magic', after a period of time, these mages will be almost proficient.  Although the construction of the Mage Tower is not imminent yet, the storage of relevant building materials needs to be carried out as soon as possible - no matter how amazing Nie's talent is, all he can do is to build a relatively strong tower-like shell. Inside the Mage Tower  Its construction also requires the consumption of various rare materials.  rough estimate.  In addition to some precious materials that can be solved in the small world, Aiwen also needs to spend at least 100,000 gold coins to purchase corresponding supplies.  In addition, building a mage tower is a good thing, but just building a mage tower outside the territory will not achieve the goal.  During the next few months of preparations, the expansion of the army was also imperative.  In fact, these two problems can be summarized into one problem, that is, the problem of money.  It costs money to attract talents, build a territory, build an army, and build a mage tower.  Ivan finally understood why he saw mostly large numbers of melee troops in the territories of other lords.  It's not that they don't know the power of long-range troops, but they understand that the equipment of long-range troops seems cheap, but in fact it is more expensive than melee troops.  And this kind of cost is continuous, and you have to pay again after every battle.  Unlike melee units, equipment costs are paid in one lump sum.  That's almost it.  If it were in other places, the lords would not be reluctant to spend this money. At critical moments, long-range troops can be of great use. However, in Gray Plains, a place where fighting breaks out all year round, almost all the lords have limited savings in their pockets.  It's okay to form a small-scale long-range force to defend the city, but to form a large-scale long-range force as the main force of the war, regardless of winning or losing, you will be crying after the battle!  ¡­, ¡°Well, speaking of long-range troops¡­¡± In his troubles, Ai Wen suddenly had an idea in his mind. The main weapon of long-range troops is the crossbow. In the underground world, the most powerful individual crossbow belongs to the human camp.  Manufactured crossbow.  The core parts of the crossbow will be damaged after repeated use. Only the alloys mastered by the human camp can make replacement parts. Therefore, only human troops have been equipped with crossbows on a large scale.  During Ivan's trip to the human world, I happened to get one of the alternative alloy manufacturing methods for making these core parts - it's not that the devil's camp can't really find special metals that meet the requirements, but it's made with those special metals.  Parts are not cost-effective and cannot be promoted in large quantities.  In the small world, the manufacturing success rate of Avila alloy is gradually increasing. Every time the alloy is manufactured, more and more parts can be made. I believe that if production is expanded, supply will soon exceed demand.  , if part of the production capacity can be allocated to the mercenary market, it will not only maximize the use of resources, but also alleviate the financial crisis.  A good handA crossbow sells for 80 gold coins, and a scrapped machine crossbow sells for hardware. As long as a few intact core parts are smuggled from the human world, and the broken parts are replaced, the profit will be 800% when resold.   Smuggling is really profitable!  The more Aiwen thought about it, the more he felt that there was a lot to be gained from it.  The peak period of money consumption has not yet come, and the territory¡¯s finances can still support it for a few days. Ivan just took advantage of these few days to make a good plan.  After absent-mindedly listening to Raymond's report on the construction and financial income of the territory, Alvin encouraged them a few words, announced the end of the meeting, and then took out the relevant mage tower information and left it in the city hall for the mages.  Research and study.  As for Raymond, he had no interest in magic, so he walked out very familiarly with Syndra, who also had no interest. He said that he wanted to take Syndra, a great hero who seemed to have extraordinary momentum at first glance and could do things that ordinary people could not.  After being introduced to his friends and subordinates, Sindra was very satisfied with Raymond being such a wise hero, and followed him without saying a word.  Ivan walked out of the hall, his eyes indicating that he was standing aside at a loss. Cheddar, who had been promoted to the assistant warden, followed his boss.  Cheddar, who was standing aside, quickly followed.  Looking at his shrinking back, Ai Wen suddenly had a strange thought in his mind. This little guy has such a position and such a talent won't he become Tang Monk in the future?   One day later, Ollie finally returned with his direct troops. Most of their armors were still very clean. Obviously, they did not experience too many battles this time. They just got news from Alvin and hurried back.  ,.  The troops disbanded at the entrance of the military camp, and the soldiers returned to their respective houses to rest. Ollie grabbed Lance and led the way to find Alvin.  Ivan was somewhere in the market at the moment, watching with boredom as Syndra showed off her muscles in the open space in front of her. At Syndra's feet, a tall demon with a bruised nose and swollen face fell to the ground, including warriors and mages.  This is not a contest to attract a bride, nor is it a fight to make friends. The cause of the matter is very simple, just because most of the demons operating in this area have blood feuds with humans, and Sindra was innocently affected.  Although most demons saw Syndra's very human-like appearance and could tell from his size that he was not human, some demons did not notice this at all - or simply wanted to test the newly appointed person in the territory.  The strength of a warden - anyway, it seems that he is regarded as a human being, no matter why a human being appears here, he will wave his fists indiscriminately when he comes up.  ¡­, The strength gap between the two was huge, so the result was obvious. Sindra knocked the other party down with a casual punch, and then the other party¡¯s friends rushed up During the melee, someone yelled "  A mere human being dares to fight the devil in the devil's territory!" The scene became completely chaotic.  When Ollie arrived, what he saw was a scene of Syndra standing in the middle of the open space, stepping on countless losers, looking down on the surrounding demons.  "Evan, you're back!" Ollie glanced sideways, then turned his attention back to Ivan, his tone vaguely excited.  "Well, I'm back!" Ivan looked at Ollie, a little confused about his excitement, but also a little moved.  Ollie has put down his hood at this moment, revealing his delicate face. He wears a silver headband inlaid with red gems on his forehead. There is faint magic flowing in the gems, exuding a circle of  Halo, on both sides of the gemstone, red-gold hair hangs down like tassels, reaching shoulder length.  Ivan was slightly surprised, then he woke up and quickly pointed to the open space not far away, "Oli, you're here at the right time. Let me introduce you to him. That's Syndra, our new companion!"  Then he followed Ivan's arm and looked not far away. He glanced at the bald man showing off in the field, and then withdrew his gaze. "Sindra? The name sounds familiar." "Not just you, but also us.  The mages who came together also thought the name was familiar." Ivan said with a smile.  "Is this an acquaintance? Indeed, he looks a bit familiar, but I'm sure I've never seen him before!" Ollie was startled, looked at Syndra again for a while, and said cautiously.  "Did you really not expect that? You don't remember, in the cave of death" Alvin reminded.  "You meanbut although the actions are very similar, the appearance is really different!" Ollie said suspiciously.  "You also know his appearance?" Ivan asked with interest.  "Although I haven't seen it in person, at least I have heard of it!" Ollie rolled his eyes at him.  ? ??That¡¯s right!  "Ivan felt that he had asked a stupid question. If it was a black lich, maybe not many people around Bone Cage City knew what he looked like, but if it were the pushy Syndra, Bone Cage City would have a total of seven  People above the age of 10 are spreading rumors about his appearance. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about how he became like this. As long as you know clearly, he is the Syndra, at least he has the same strength as that Syndra!  "Ivan reminded. When Ollie heard this, he became somewhat interested in Syndra. After a moment, he shook his head regretfully, "It's a pity that we are companions now, otherwise"
