Chapter 493: Sun City
Xia He didn't care what Golia thought and continued: "I want to build a port and a shipyard by the sea, and it may require a lot of workers. After the city is built, you will be responsible for the management."
"Me?" Goria was surprised.
"Yes, I'm only responsible for providing you with protection. You are an epic wizard, and in the empire you are equivalent to a middle-class noble. There is still the power to manage a city."
"But why don't the Marquis need your confidants?"
"You are a mage from Rhode Island, and you are half a confidant. In fact, if you do things for me, no one dares to tempt you to betray you."
"Sir, I am humble from a background and don't quite understand."
"The law of the magician, the rule of the empire. If a person like you betrays, there will be only one fate."
"I understand."
"So this is good, so everyone will not be suspicious of each other. I am rich and powerful, and you lack the capital to continue practicing."
"Mr. Marquis, I really understand that in fact, the people of Rhodes understand this truth, but you have never come back after being named Earl."
"You said that there are not so many fishermen, huh."
Goria didn't say anything, she didn't know about this.
"Forget it, let's talk about your affairs first. Are you level 25 now?"
"yes."
"What magic is good at?"
"The water and fire system are all good at the others. I know eight classic magic, two are proficient in magic, forty-four are good at magic, and two hundred and six are proficient in magic."
"For the epic mage, you are a little weak. I'll check your mental power." Xia He said, and regardless of whether Galia was willing or not, he enveloped Galia's spiritual consciousness.
Gloria felt cold in her heart, but she instinctively did not dare to resist.
After Xia He investigated, he nodded and said, "I didn't expect that you started learning magic at the age of 18. Your foundation is quite solid. Your mental power should be able to advance to legends."
"I don't quite understand the road ahead, either."
"It's okay, I remember that I am a marquis now and can confer you as a baron. From now on, you will be my family mage. I can teach you some magic to make up for all your shortcomings."
Galia had nothing to object to. If she didn't join the Blood Mage family, no matter how talented she was, she would never be able to be legendary in her life. After Freya's people came over, they asked her to communicate and told her clearly that if she did not surrender to the Blood Mage, few other nobles in the empire would dare to accept her.
If anyone who doesn't care about the Blood Mage will not care about her epic.
After seeing Golia, Xia He felt relieved. This was a magician without family roots. He was from a humble background and was a native of Rhode Island. Her appearance was originally a miracle, but there were too many high-level magicians in the empire. As Freya said, only she could accommodate her.
He is a good helper. The wisdom of the epic wizard has been developed. With a little training, Gloria can become a good city lord and may advance to legends in the future.
This is a pie that fell from the sky, Xia He will definitely not want it.
The location of the lord of Sun City was indeed supposed to be given to the confidants. But Xiahe only has this manpower. The underground world is very important, the Storm Point is very important, and the goblin remains are the most important.
In contrast, although Sun City is important, it is not as important as Freya must be in charge.
As for Qiu Xuanji, Xia He still wants to let him be by his side. In the future, he will count on Qiu Xuanji. This guy is waiting for him to become familiar with the laws of this world, and his combat power is not as small as he is now.
Xia He is tired of leading by example, and there will be no peak epic or legend in the future, so he doesn't plan to pay attention to it.
After Xia He made the decision, he first contacted Storm Corner and transmitted the planned pattern. If the text and images were not sounded, the cost would be much lower.
Freya quickly responded that she asked Xia He to build four battle towers by the sea first, and did not directly use Taoist palace methods according to the specifications of the magic tower. After the four battle towers were built, a teleportation array was set up in the central area so that she could transport supplies.
Anyway, there are magic rough stones now, and the consumption of the teleportation array is no longer a problem.
However, it is impossible to teleport large warships from Rhode Island to Storm Point. Unless the large warships will jump in space on their own, that is no longer something legendary equipment can do.
There is a distance of 100,000 miles when walking on the sea. The large iron-clad ship specially built for the Xiahe River can run nearly 200 miles per hour, making it the highest speed among warships. It takes more than 20 days to walk a hundred thousand miles.
In order to take a shortcut, there is no need to cross the storm area, and Xiahe can wait for these twenty days.
As the warships came over, there was a large number of ready-made military supplies, Xiahe didn't have to buy them elsewhere. The alchemy factory in Storm Point could already operate at high speed. As long as Xiahe needed it, it would continuously produce weapons and equipment.
The mage group recruited by Freya at Storm Point, as well as the twenty-four students before Xiahe, will also come. The current plan is to build Sun City first and build Rhode Island into a center.
In the future, ordinary warships will be produced here.
The empire needs to use force from outside, even if it is a full-scale attack on the half-elves empire, it will have to create many warships.
The level of the imperial warships is not good, so the warships on Xiahe will definitely have sales. Even if not, Xiahe himself lacks a large number of ships.
Xia He did not go to the beach, but he was still staying on the small plain, mainly to guide the twenty-four new students.
He took everyone away and had to take responsibility to the end. No one would want these students anymore, unless Xia He was finished.
In mid-October, the location where Sun City was selected was already in full swing.
Sun City was built on the scale of a large city of the empire. It is not a giant city, just ten miles north and south, six miles east and west. On the other side of the sea, there are strong turrets. There are additional walls extending into the sea, and high stone towers stand on the sea.
There are four such city walls, like four dragons exploring into the sea.
The harbor between the city walls is docked by small combat ships, and the real military port is a few miles north. On the sea outside the port, there is a small island where legendary powerful people change the landform and raise upwards. This is a deep-water port, with pure stone structures on which the island is arranged.
In the Sun City, there are mainly alchemy factories that manufacture precision parts and important things. Some less important parts are manufactured in factories in surrounding towns.
Four tall towers were formed in the city. At the top of the tower, there were thin rays extending into the sky, converging in the center, turning into a light ball. The light ball was not that dazzling, and it could not even feel the temperature, but any magician felt extremely dangerous when he saw it.
This thing is the protective power of the city, an artificial sun star.
The light ball changes brightness as time goes by. At night, it is weaker than the blue moon in the sky. During the day, it looks like it is just a moon that appears during the day.
However, this thing can kill legends.
If there was no Taoist palace, Xia He would definitely not use a magic-made sun as a sign, but would use the three-legged golden crow. But it doesn’t matter. Sooner or later, the Taiyin Immortal Palace will reappear on earth.
In November, a large fleet arrived at Sun City and docked on the military port.
The flagship was 120 meters long, while the other main battleship was 280 meters long. The battleship carried a large amount of supplies. On the dock, huge mechanical vehicles loaded and unloaded large magic seal boxes and moved them from the deck to land.
More people poured into Rhode Island, and soon some of the subsequent buildings of Sun City were fully replenished.
When Golia saw the changes here, she felt mixed feelings. She worked hard for more than ten years, but her hometown was still a small town, and as for the Marquis, in one month, it turned the place upside down.
So many magicians are willing to be coolies, forcibly using magical means to speed up the construction speed and increase the level of the building. If there is no legend, no one can defeat this Sun City.
On the south side of Sun City, about fifty miles away, there is a port, where there is a newly built city. This city is purely a commercial city, and the port is divided into two purposes: one is to dock on merchant ships and the other is to provide large fishing boats for fishermen.
The fishermen will no longer raise their own boats in the future, but will instead go to sea to work by renting.
Xiahe’s real purpose is to make these people accustomed to driving large ships and teach them their experience going to sea. In the future, not only fishing, but also hunting monsters.
Xia He himself has to establish a navy, and it won’t take long to have more fleets anchored in the north military port.
In Sun City, Freya prepared three fleets for Xiahe, one resting, one training, and one fighting. This is the most basic prototype of a national navy. Xiahe cannot afford to support too many fleets. It is not a matter of money, but there are no more qualified sailors.
The fleet with a 280-meter warship as the core of the battle, the boat also has 80 meters, and is promoted by dual power. Although it is not complicated, the control methods, unlike the original warships, require a lot of training, cooperation and running-in to allow a navy to control it freely.
The only problem that Golia noticed was that both Sun City and Commercial City only had not been too large takeoff points. Obviously, they could not accommodate too many floating airships. However, in general, large takeoff points are not allowed to land in and outside the city.
But she was too busy and she was exhausted every day, so she didn't ask Xia He why she did this.
At this time, Xia He was on the armored warship, under the deck, there were a lot of aircraft in the huge hangar. This aircraft was different from a floating airship. It looked like a huge arrow in the appearance. The appearance of an acute triangle has a hole in front and two in the back, which are also arranged in a triangle.
"This thing is interesting, but it doesn't look very strong." Xia He said to Freya beside him. Freya took the time to come, mainly because there were particularly valuable things to hand over to Xia He.
