Chapter 1, Section 13 of "Geo-Alchemy".
"The core rules of spells are nothing more than two points. The first is equivalent exchange, and the second is energy conservation. Unless you reach the height of a legendary creature, the total amount of elemental energy within a certain range will remain unchanged. So you don't have to worry that the second law will affect your battle, because there are absolutely too many free elemental energy in this world to imagine!"
A "water-making technique" can create ten gallons of pure water, but these pure water is not composed of elemental energy, but is composed of free water molecules in the air and the land. Therefore, the level of this spell is very low, and even a mage apprentice can easily be used. The spell is not made out of nothing, but is exchanged in equivalents with quite strict rules, just like a skilled spell caster can turn a piece of wood into a steak, whether it looks or tastes. However, after this piece of steak-like thing is eaten, it cannot allow ** to absorb the nutrients belonging to the steak. Its essential effect is equal to eating a piece of wood.
It's just that this piece of wood tastes like steak.
This is the second core rule of spells - the law of conservation of energy!
Spells can change the form, taste, touch, etc. of wood, but they cannot turn its components into high protein for steaks.
If it can be done, it will be the realm of the gods.

This is what Murphy gained during this period when he studied Geoscience.
Without the guidance of the instructor, Murphy's research progress was entirely based on his own preferences and personal views. In his view, the value of the spell itself has been reduced, because no matter what kind of spell it is, it is composed of 26 rune letters and the corresponding magic operation system. Therefore, the spell itself is like the moves in martial arts novels, which moves are awesome, which moves are exquisite, etc.
In fact, this is the case with the spell itself.
Magic is like internal force. If the internal force is not enough, those exquisite and awesome moves cannot be used. Various spells are these moves, and almost all factions of spells can be classified in this way.
This provides Murphy with a magnificent theoretical outline guidance!
The only difference is that the rules of spells are stricter.
After Murphy figured out this, his future advancement route in spells began to be understood. What he wanted was not only various moves, but more powerful and important things!
The moves are created by humans, and the same is true for these powerful spells.
The fundamental reason for creating such a powerful spell is that they have enough internal strength, or magic.
Of course, when you reach a certain level, it is not limited to this.
It’s like the internal energy will open up the eight extraordinary meridians of the Ren and Du meridians in the later stage, and even the final unity of man and nature.
Similarly, spells will undergo greater changes in the later stages. It’s just that with Murphy’s current strength, he does not have the ability to peek into that world. If spells are regarded as practicing martial arts, then Murphy’s purpose is not just to learn those exquisite and awesome moves. His real purpose is to achieve ‘harmony between man and nature’, that is, to touch the core rules of this world.
As soon as my mind changed, the whole world began to suddenly become clear.
After the shackles that restrict their development on many creatures were opened, not only those wild creatures opened the path of evolution.
The same many intelligent creatures began to evolve.
There is no doubt that Murphy's thinking is now at the forefront of the road!
Instead of wasting energy on studying many spells and moves, it is better to turn all your energy into studying the essence of spells in this world.
As the lord of Athens, Murphy himself was not at risk for safety. So he was not in a hurry to spend a lot of time studying memory and learning those destructive magic. The core of his entire research was the movement and changes of magic power and the composition of 26 rune letters. Intuition told him that he could find what he wanted if he continued on this path.
……………………
The Second Era, July 1.
The harvest of winter wheat in Athens has been completely completed, and the grain was collected into the treasury. After deducting the grain that supports the Centaur tribe, the remaining grain in Athens still exceeds 12,000 tons. This does not include the grain held in the hands of the citizens, but the food property belonging to Murphy in a pure sense. If the food in the hands of citizens is included, Athens' grain output this year is nearly 18,000 tons!
This harvest can almost be said to be the highest ever in the entire southern plain.
The indigenous merchants who came to Athens passed the news almost within a few days. Now, when the indigenous people in other places talked about Athens, they all said with envy and jealousy that it was God's blessing and a miracle!
At this time, some aboriginal people who have free citizenship regretted it.
Because there is no doubt that Athenian crop cultivation has come to the forefront of the whole world. If you can harvest such a bumper harvest this year, then no matter how bad it is next year, it will not be much worse, right?
In such a primitive world, food is the most important property income.
It can be said that after the bumper harvest, almost all the indigenous people who chose to stay in Athens felt glad.
Because their losses come back immediately after the harvest.
However, when other remorseless native free people arrived, Athens's land rent order had already ended. An unprecedented harvest raised the reputation of Athens to the limit, and followed by a large number of free people, and even some serfs under the cruel lords fled to Athens with their families. Murphy was willing to do so, and Athens' military power had already been shown to everyone.
He is not afraid of anything now.
One and a half months after the decree was issued, Murphy stopped absorbing the Indigenous population.
Because the total number of 30,000 people has reached.
Before the territory is further expanded, it is not suitable to absorb more people. After all, housing, food, public security and other issues need to be arranged in advance. Although the territory has been greatly expanded, most of the land is deserted in the war, and it is not simply to send a team of people to get income next year. Murphy needs to integrate this batch of absorbed indigenous people into Athens itself. Simply put, he needs to win the hearts of these indigenous people.
It takes time for the people to be loyal.
All the indigenous people absorbed were broken up by family members and then distributed to four medium-sized towns under the name of Athens.
Although Athens requires the civic class to be upgraded, those small towns do not have these restrictions as long as the population reaches its reach. However, Murphy did not build military camps or other things, but built based on the standard grain production base. Apart from the temple, there are almost no other buildings with the auxiliary system of Total War.
Soldiers, just one Athens is enough to recruit.
The guards of these four medium-sized towns were all formed based on the mercenaries they absorbed.
In the battle of the Orcs, although the Aboriginal mercenaries did not have much military achievements, they also made efforts. After the war, Murphy promoted all the surviving mercenaries to captains, rewarded them with land and food, and then asked them to recruit a group of strong men from the Aboriginals themselves to serve as militia units to be responsible for the security and other issues of the town.
In this way, the combat power of the Athenian citizen class can be concentrated in Murphy's hands.
Murphy felt that it was too extravagant to send these soldiers with the potential to be promoted to Spartan warriors to maintain public order!
Time continues to transition forward.
General Rosha Yat also returned to Athens. He was seriously injured when attacking the rear of the Orcs and could not travel a long distance, and he did not return until now.
Similarly, not only will the territory be fully restored, but the expanded Lady Elizabeth will also visit Athens in a few days.
The biggest winner of this war was not Murphy, but Mrs. Elizabeth and the guard of the Canyon Pass. The latter is now a viscount noble with a territory of nearly 1,500 square kilometers.
……………………
Elizabeth's relationship with Murphy can now be said to be well-known to everyone after Elizabeth's confrontation with the noble parliament!
How can there be no beautiful love story after the hero’s glorious back?
The glory of gossip can almost be said to have enveloped any world! Since that incident, almost everyone in the Southern Plains believed that Mrs. Elizabeth and Murphy were very close, very close, very close! In such an era, it was not a shame for a noble to have a beautiful mistress, but on the contrary, it was a very shameful and humble thing!
A noble lord with many mistresses can even greatly improve his reputation!
Because this just proves his own personal charm!
However, the result of this incident was that Mrs. Elizabeth was unable to come to Athens after the war. Perhaps there were many territorial affairs in some areas, but the more important reason was that both of them didn't know how to face each other at this moment.
This incident also gave Murphy a headache.
Because now everyone thinks that Mrs. Elizabeth is his lover, even if it is not now, it will definitely be true in the future.
but!
It was impossible for Murphy to marry Mrs. Elizabeth.
Both of them know this.
……………………
And just when Murphy was having a headache for the upcoming visiting Mrs. Elizabeth, something else happened.
The logging farm was attacked again!
This time the attack was more serious than any other time, because not only more than a dozen lumberjacks lost their lives, but the Spartan warriors who were sent to guard the logging field by Murphy after the wild beasts were abnormally moved, and also suffered casualties.
Three Spartans died under the attack of some kind of beast!
Chapter completed!
