Chapter 81: Arranging the Harvest
If Zhang Weidao knew that all the guards on the mountain were sleeping at this time, he would definitely run to the top of the mountain to search for them without hesitation.
It's a pity that although I knew that the green dragon clan was very lazy, I would never have thought that even the dragon man on duty would go to sleep!
Zhang Weidao naturally didn't know that he had missed the opportunity to obtain a large number of World Tree leaves. At this time, he was carefully examining the branches he found from the top of the tree.
It was a branch about a foot long and as thick as a thumb. Although all the leaves had fallen off, the entire branch was still emerald green, and the whole branch looked like it was made of jade.
If it weren't for the strong natural scent exuding from the branches, Zhang Weidao would never have noticed that there was such a magical treasure in the canopy above his head.
This kind of magical object is probably a branch of the World Tree, which is not something you can pick up casually.
The crown part of the World Tree only covers half of the crater area. It is difficult for heavy objects like branches to be blown down the mountain by the wind.
He found something good after just two hours. Zhang Weidao returned to Crow Ridge with this branch that looked like a work of art.
Since I no longer continued to search for World Tree leaves along the way, my return was very fast. It only took ten minutes to return to Crow Ridge.
Like a gust of wind, Zhang Weidao passed through the crowd of people who were logging, leaving behind a group of jackals holding axes in a daze.
The jackal assassin looking at his back was a little confused, "Is that our employer who just passed by? Pinch me quickly!"
"Damn it! As for pinching me so hard!" The two gnolls instantly struggled to the ground.
"Our employer was running wildly in the forest just now. This was a bit exaggerated! His flexible steps were so perfect when dodging trees!"
The Jackal Assassin marveled for a while, and then began to study and discuss a training plan for using the woods to practice footwork while cutting down trees.
Zhang Weidao was completely unaware that he had created a new training method for the assassins, and rushed into the residential area like a whirlwind carrying a few fallen leaves.
When Zhang Weidao stopped on the street in the residential area, a few fallen leaves clinging to his body fell to the ground.
The kobold craftsman who was repairing the house felt a little confused when he saw the fallen leaves. This could only be accomplished by generating wind pressure at a very high speed. He was indeed a strong man who could single-handedly kill an orc army!
Zhang Weidao checked the progress of the house repairs. In just two hours, these craftsmen had repaired several houses. The work efficiency was really high.
These kobold soldiers can not only provide considerable combat effectiveness, but can also transform into more professional craftsmen in their spare time to carry out various infrastructure construction.
Those roofs sealed with wooden boards look quite beautiful. The wooden boards are laid neatly on the roof and fixed to each other through the mortise and tenon splicing process that Zhang Weidao described to them.
After a general inspection of the restored house, the quality was very good. Zhang Weidao asked the craftsmen to build some more furniture, and then prepared to send people to station here.
This place is preparing to be stationed for a long time, and many necessary infrastructures need to be prepared.
Previously, because he knew that the environment in the Twilight Forest was harsh and the sky under the influence of magic was always dark, Zhang Weidao did not plan to send personnel to station here for a long time.
Now that there is the temptation of the leaves and branches of the World Tree, the stronghold on Crow Ridge must be carefully constructed so that the soldiers and spellcasters stationed in the stronghold can live more comfortably.
Although Crow Ridge is a small town, it would be no problem to repair those houses and station thousands of people. This manpower is enough to maintain the suppression of Night Town occupied by the orcs, so that they cannot safely transport supplies to the front line.
.
Returning to the restored two-story mansion, Zhang Weidao began to count the harvest by the firelight in the fireplace.
The harvest from this exploration was quite good. I collected more than a dozen leaves of the World Tree along the way, and that branch was the biggest harvest of this trip.
The branches of the World Tree with such strong natural fluctuations are definitely treasures in the hands of natural pharmacists.
Zhang Weidao also discovered a lot of herbs along the way, and those spellcasters who know how to alchemy will definitely like this place.
Go out and summon an assassin who has just delivered the wood, and ask him to take the branch of the World Tree to Kroger and ask him to arrange for some pharmacists to come to the forest to find treasures.
These natural pharmacists can search the forest while gathering medicine, which is definitely better than assassins and hunters searching for the drops of the World Tree.
These natural spell casters can easily sense natural fluctuations, and finding branches and leaves will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. They can also take care of the forest by the way.
After sending away the messenger who came to deliver the news, Zhang Weidao took out the tools for making talismans and began to draw the talismans.
Ever since the yellow talisman paper he carried with him when he traveled through time and the magic pattern cloth he picked out from Jiage's hand were all consumed, Zhang Weidao hasn't really drawn a talisman for a long time.
This brush in my hand made of real animal hair can finally be used to its fullest.
I dipped it in clean water and tried the feel on the table. It has moderate elasticity and makes painting very smooth. It is much stronger than the inferior artificial hair pens I used before.
Zhang Weidao dipped the ink extracted from herbal medicine into the leaves of the Tree of the World and drew a golden armor talisman in one go.
Looking at the little glimmers of light on the talisman, you can tell that this talisman is a perfect one, and the energy contained in it is very sufficient.
This golden armor talisman can effectively resist Zhang Weidao's own attacks for more than three times. This is a very powerful defensive effect. It can save the user many times in normal battles.
Unfortunately, the production of these talismans is limited and can only be used by a small number of personnel, and it is impossible to fully popularize them in the army.
Only important figures and soldiers in the first row can be allocated. A small number of idle talismans will be exchanged for high contribution points, which is why many fish-man assassins try their best to gain points.
These guys who have come into contact with the talisman will not miss any opportunity to obtain it. This is why these assassins formed a group to come to the Dusk Forest to hunt orcs everywhere.
Once the number of assassins increases, those outposts will suffer. A team of assassins sneaked into the orc camp, and a dozen orcs were wiped from the neck before they could react.
Even if they took precautions, it would be useless. The swift attacks launched by the assassins after approaching were beyond the ability of warriors of the same level to withstand.
Although these orc warriors are not weak in combat effectiveness, they generally lack armor to protect their bodies, and they are often killed by assassins stabbing them in the vital parts of their bodies upon encounter.
Warriors, a profession suitable for frontal battlefields, have very high requirements for weapons and armor, otherwise they would be at the bottom of the profession.
Each time, a few assassins attacked an orc warrior, and of course they could easily win. This was a complete replica of the attack by these murloc assassins on the orc outposts on the river bank before Zhang Weidao sent troops to the Western Wilderness.
