The construction of the camp was still ongoing.
Søren personally cut down the logs at a very fast speed. The number of pirates who were responsible for transporting the logs had increased to more than a hundred. The logs were sent back to the camp and then cut into wood by the craftsmen or those who were proficient in the craft. Some of the logs were directly dug into the ground to build fences, which were about five meters high and had simple arrow towers. Pirates often built their camps on the islands, so this kind of work was common among the pirates.
Sauron was busy chopping wood and practicing his sword techniques at the same time.
Vivian was bored after reading for a while. She took out a scroll and flipped through it, then directly walked out of the tent. Many pirates respected this cute little girl. First of all, those who didn't respect her were thrown into the sea to feed the fish by Søren. Second of all, this cute little girl who looked harmless was a terrifying wizard. Her status was aloof and independent of the pirate group. Even the half-elf first mate would answer the little girl's questions honestly when he met her.
"Oh."
Vivian tilted her head and looked at the slaves and pirates who were busy working outside. To be honest, their labor efficiency was not high. Although there were alchemy machines similar to excavators in this world, they were all things that only high-level spellcasters could afford. Currently, the construction of the entire camp was done by manual labor. They only relied on a few simple tools. The drainage ditch outside the tent was dug with a hoe. In this case, it was easy to imagine that the construction efficiency was not high, and the manpower used was also quite large.
The little girl looked at it for a while, then took out a thick book from thin air. It was about the thickness of a Xinhua dictionary. There was a row of strange words written on it, but the general meaning could be understood. On the cover, it was written "The Wizard Tower Construction * Guide * and the Golem Guard's Manual". This book might not have been preserved very well, some of the words on the cover had fallen off, and there were some stains on the front part. It was probably a book that had been preserved for a long time.
A wizard's knowledge was very precious, especially the books that wizards needed. Most of these books were not printed, and they were written by their own hands bit by bit.
This was the wealth that they had accumulated in their lifetime!
Søren was a person who respected knowledge, so although the little girl did not like to read, she was very protective of books.
She was a good child who listened to her brother!
Vivian casually found a place to sit down. Then, she closed her little knees and flipped open the thick book that was even bigger than her face. She flipped through the book at a rather fast speed. In just a short while, she had flipped through about a hundred pages. Then, she stopped at one of the pages and lifted her little white finger to point at a line of words. Then, she flipped to the next page. There were many words and pictures there. The little girl frowned and looked at it for a while, then murmured, "The best material for building a wizard tower is not any stone, but stone made with the Mud to Stone spell. This kind of stone is quite strong. After a simple enchantment, it can reach the level of hardness above marble."
She turned to the second page and continued to read, "If combined with the magic arts left over from the Arcane Empire, Mud to Stone can make the stones made by magic as hard as steel.
She did not know if it was deliberately erased by someone, or if it was unintentionally damaged by time.
All the information about the Mud to Rock spell and how hard it was to turn the stones into steel through alchemy had become stains that couldn't be seen clearly. Vivian's brows furrowed as she read this, and she couldn't help but say angrily, "Which bastard did this!"
She lifted her little hand and kept flipping to the back. However, the back had already turned to the layout of the wizard tower. There was no mention of the overall construction material of the wizard tower. The little girl was so angry that she directly threw the thick book into the dimensional belt. Then, she held her chin with her little hand and said, "It's a pity that my spell slots are not enough. Otherwise, I can help my brother build a camp with Mud to Stone."
"Oh."
"The book that sister Gloria gave me seems to have recorded that this spell changes the soil according to the casting level and casting strength. It seems that every point is about two feet square. I wonder how large the area I can change?"
"Yes. I'll try it when I have time. "
The little girl tilted her head and muttered for a while. Then, she seemed to feel a little sleepy and could not help but walk into the tent.
Recently, she had been more sleepy, but what made her happy was that she had grown taller.
"Mud to Stone [Level 5 Spell]: The spellcaster can transform soil into stone. This transformation process is permanent. Every point of spell strength can transform two feet square of soil. Many building materials, including the structure of the wizard tower, are made of Mud to Stone. The effect of this spell will be permanently changed after use. Spells such as Dispel Magic cannot be used to remove the transformation effect. "
…
"Phew!"
Søren took a deep breath and put away the curved sword in his hand. A large area of the nearby trees had been cut down by him. Perhaps it was because everything had to start from scratch, he actually felt like he had returned to the slash-and-burn era. In fact, the fastest way was to rely on the power of the wizards. However, he did not have any spellcasters, so he could only use the simplest way to open up the camp. There was a level 5 wizard spell called Mud to Stone. This spell could directly turn soil into stone.
At that time, there was a guild with rich spellcasters who directly relied on spells to build a city wall in a day.
However, there was still a big limit to the spell slots.
If the Goddess of Magic died, the spell slots would be converted into mana. At that time, although the spellcasting ability of the wizards would be weakened, they would have a lot more freedom to cast spells. If all the mana was invested into the level 5 spell Mud to Stone, only a small number of wizards would be able to achieve amazing results. The creation ability of the wizards could not be ignored in the pioneering tactics of the past, especially the development of the outer planes and the abyss.
Søren put away his sword and looked behind him. The pirate minions were still busy moving the logs.
He took a deep breath and then looked at his data display. He found that there was an extra row of words on it:
"Training successful!"
"You have obtained part of the information of [Sword Form: Horizontal Slash]! … "
"Training successful!"
"You have obtained part of the information of [Sword Form: Horizontal Slash]! … "
"Training successful!"
"You have mastered the combat skill [Sword Form: Horizontal Slash]! … "
…
Sword Form [Horizontal Slash]!
It was a more basic combat skill of the sword form. In fact, it was a prerequisite skill of the sword form [Waist Slash].
This was the easiest sword form skill to master in logging. Its combat effect was similar to the sword form [Heavy Slash]. Its strength was strengthened to Søren's current standard, especially after his attributes were increased. These more basic Sword Force abilities were all integrated into his normal attacks. This was because this kind of force exertion technique no longer caused him too much of a burden. With enough attribute points as a foundation, he slightly skipped the previous requirement of charging force. As long as he did not use it consecutively, he could use it in his normal attacks.
There were actually many types of sword forms.
Basically, they were suitable for most weapon attacks. If a melee profession did not have a combat specialty, they would have to train and master enough combat skills.
It was said that there were more than a hundred types of sword forms. The foundation for a Grand Swordsman to advance into a Legendary was to understand these basic sword forms!
Søren did not have any mandatory requirements for sword forms. However, mastering more sword forms would increase his combat power. Moreover, many powerful combat skills in the future would require the coordination of basic sword forms. For example, mastering sword form [Horizontal Slash] would have a strong effect when comprehending and using sword form [Beheading] in the future. Many sword forms and skills were interconnected.
…
Yellow sand was flying all over the sky.
A slightly stooped figure was moving forward at the edge of the desert. Judging from his face, he did not seem to be very old. However, his face was full of vicissitudes and fatigue. His hair seemed to have not been washed for a long time. There was stubble on his chin, and there was a lot of dust in his hair. He was wearing mottled armor. There were sword marks on his shoulder armor. There was a bandage on his arm, and there was a trace of blood seeping out from it. The originally bright silver armor seemed to be a little dim at the moment. It seemed that it had not been maintained for a long time. It looked very worn out. There was a long sword on his waist. From time to time, he looked up into the distance. His hand seemed to be hanging on the hilt, ready to fight at any time.
This was a young Paladin.
Or rather, he used to be a Paladin. Now, he was just a wandering Warrior.
He seemed to have been walking for a long time.
Even the sturdy and durable boots on his feet were almost worn out. However, he still did not stop, as if there was something very important waiting for him in front of him.
The wind stirred up the sand and dust. Soon, his whole body was gray and covered with a layer of dust.
The young warrior shook his clothes, shaking off the dust on the ground, and then continued to move forward silently. His lips were a little chapped, and there were bloodstains at the corners of his mouth. However, he didn't drink any water, because there wasn't much water left on him. Just like that, he kept walking forward. When it got dark, he would stop to camp and eat some hard rations. He didn't need a tent, so he just leaned against the corner and slept with his clothes on. His hands were always holding his sword, and even when he slept, he hugged it to his chest.
He did not know how long he had been walking.
It was not until an old middle-aged man appeared in front of him that he stopped. He knelt in front of the other party on one knee, inserted the long sword into the ground, and pressed his palm on his chest. This was the etiquette of a Paladin. The other party seemed to have expected his arrival. He just said in a hoarse voice, "What have you learned along the way?"
The young Paladin looked up.
There seemed to be a trace of sadness in his eyes, but more than that, he said slowly, "There is something called justice, and justice requires great strength!"
