Chapter 60 Base Construction

"Hurry up. We must transport the things to the destination before dark."

In Glitter City, a transport convoy moved forward slowly on the bluestone road, making a continuous sound of the wheels turning.

Residents along the way consciously moved to both sides to avoid the situation because a group of heavily armed soldiers followed the convoy.

The leading men were all wearing full body armor, and they were clearly knights at a glance.

"Sure enough, Glitter City is better. The corner of Black Rock City is still a bit remote after all."

Looking at the scenery on both sides of the street, Qiao Dun sighed with a grin.

The architectural style of Glitter City is more Romanesque, giving people a majestic and solemn feeling.

The road is a flat bluestone road with flowers, plants and trees planted on both sides. The ground is clean and tidy, and there are complete sewers. Even the houses are more beautiful and tidy than those in Black Rock City.

Compared with Glitter City, Blackstone City suddenly looked like the countryside.

"When we followed Master Key to Black Rock City, who would have thought that we would be able to return to the Shining Territory so quickly." A knight said with emotion.

The other people were all filled with sadness when they heard this.

"Who says it's not the case? At first I thought I would stay in Black Rock City for the rest of my life."

"Yeah, to this day I still wonder if I'm dreaming from time to time."

"This is all thanks to the lord and Your Excellency Su Nan. But then again, why did Your Excellency Sunan want to move outside the city? It can't be"

Before the knight who spoke could finish speaking, he was kicked by Qiao Dun.

"What are you talking about? Be careful, I'll slap you!"

"The Baron and his brothers have a very good relationship. Besides, Mr. Su Nan obviously has no interest in the title. He will be a wizard in the future!"

"Then why don't you, Mr. Sunan, stay in the city? It's so remote outside the city, how can living in an inner castle be as comfortable as that?" A knight asked in confusion.

Qiao Dun shrugged and said: "I heard that Mr. Sunan wanted to build a base outside the city. He said that he wanted to build a magic plant garden and a puppet factory. The land area that needed to be occupied was not small, so he chose it outside the city. What we are transporting this time are the materials for building the base.”

Seeing that everyone seemed to understand, Qiao Dun waved his hands impatiently.

"Anyway, we just have to do what Mr. Sunan said."

Everyone thought so.

They can't just speculate on the plans of powerful people like Mr. Su Nan, they just act accordingly.

The convoy passed through the city all the way. After leaving the city gate, it walked north for four or five kilometers and finally saw a piece of flat land.

Many workers are busy at work, and the crisp sound of pickaxes colliding with rocks can be heard all the time.

Qiao Dun quickly found Sunan who was wandering around the hillside, seemingly looking for something.

"Your Excellency Su Nan, the lord asked me to deliver something."

Sunan nodded and called a steward to hand over the things. Then he took out a list and handed it to Qiao Dun.

"This is the next batch of things that will be used. Help me give it to big brother."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Qiao Dun solemnly agreed and glanced at the list secretly.

Crystal, brass, silver, clay. The first few can be understood, but what is clay used for?

Making ceramics?

Qiao Dun was secretly confused, but he was sensible enough not to ask any more questions. He took the list and said goodbye to Sunan and left.

After he left, Sunan continued to explore the surrounding area.

After taking over Glitter City, he started his own farming plan according to the plan. Without saying a word, he found Keyi and marked a piece of land on the plain not far outside the city, preparing to build his own base.

A qualified wizard must have his own territory so that he can practice and delve into knowledge with peace of mind, and develop along the way.

That's why many wizards build their own wizard towers.

A few powerful true spirit wizards will even spend huge amounts of resources building floating cities.

It's a pity that neither the floating city nor the wizard tower is within the reach of Sunan now.

He could only settle for the next best thing and build an ordinary base.

A complete base must include a series of facilities such as a meditation area, a spell practice area, an experimental area, a residential area, a pharmaceutical area, a magic plant garden, a magic item workshop, a puppet factory, and a warehouse.

With so many facilities built, the base covers an area even larger than an ordinary village.

The gold coins consumed are also tens of thousands.

Fortunately, Sunan took the time to make a batch of potions and handed them over to the Firefox Chamber of Commerce for sale.

The deposit received can be used for the initial construction of the base.

What he is currently exploring is the location of the leyline nodes.

There are primitive magical veins underground in any world.

These veins are called earth vein nodes, or element branch veins, magic nodes, etc.

A name is just a code name.

Essentially, leyline nodes are the intersection of natural energy. As long as large magic circles are used to set up magic supply channels at leyline nodes, stable magic energy transmission can be provided, which can greatly save energy.

Otherwise, relying solely on magic stones to support the operation of facilities such as the magic plant garden, magic item manufacturing workshop, and puppet factory would not be enough even if the entire Shining Collar's income is invested.

The only problem is that today's Starlight Continent is barren of elements, and the elemental magic power provided by the leyline nodes has also been greatly reduced.

The leyline nodes alone may only be able to support the daily operation and maintenance of the base. If you want to use equipment such as the magic crystal forging furnace, you must add magic stones as a supplementary energy source.

In view of this, before the base construction is completed, a batch of magic stones must be stored.

After confirming the node of the earth vein, Sunan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the busy crowd below.

"Relying solely on manpower to build the base is still a bit inefficient. It is best to create a batch of clay golems to serve as manpower."

The clay golem has a power of nearly one ton and is a very efficient labor force.

In many large-scale projects, a clay golem can be responsible for the work equivalent to hundreds of humans.

The key is that the clay golem does not need to rest or eat. As long as there is enough energy supply and daily maintenance, they can be used all the time.

Therefore, many wizards like to use clay golems as laborers or servants.

"The materials required for clay golems are simple, energy consumption is low, and maintenance is very convenient. They are the best choice for labor."

"As long as there are ten clay golems, the efficiency of base construction can be multiplied several times, and a lot of manpower expenses can be saved."

"In addition, places like magic plant gardens and magic item workshops also need special manpower to maintain them. In addition to being literate, they must also master a certain foundation in magic plant science or enchantment science. These must be cultivated from scratch."

Practicing, learning spells, building bases, making potions, refining golems, and training manpower.

Su Nan suddenly found that he had a lot of things to do.

"I'll be busy next."
