Constantine's arrival made Ma Wen heave a sigh of relief. It also hastened many of his plans.
He was overjoyed by the Necromancer Federer's appearance. This guy had nowhere else to go after Sha Sha left, so he decided to settle down in the White River Valley. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with the environment in the White River Valley.
Not many Necromancers were as unconventional as him. He had a deep understanding of Necromancy, but he rarely used it.
In his past life, Federer would have lost control of himself and started to think of stupid ways to become a Lich.
But this time, due to Ma Wen's intervention, his fate was completely changed.
He seemed to have found his home in the White River Valley. Wait, maybe the word home was not the right word to describe it.
…
"Idiot, you've pasted the wrong transformation rune. This thing is used to increase the strength of the living, not the dead. Do you understand?"
The alchemist who was dressed like a turkey jumped up and down. He was just short of pointing at Federer's head and scolding him.
Veins popped out on Federer's forehead. He was already talkative enough, but he did not expect to meet someone even more talkative in the White River Valley.
What made him even more speechless was that the Alchemist could shout his name, but when he wanted to retaliate, he could only say, "Hey, that guy."
This was because the Alchemist did not have a name.
He was a wanderer who did not know how he ended up in the White River Valley. After the battle with Bamboo, Ma Wen had a deep discussion with the Alchemist.
He was shocked to find out that the Alchemist did not have a past.
In the Alchemist's own words, "The first half of my life was ruthlessly erased by someone. So I think it's necessary to live the rest of my life well. "
Ma Wen had tested it himself. It was not an ordinary memory erasure spell.
To find out who erased the Alchemist's memory, it would probably take a Legendary-level wizard who specialized in prophecy to find out.
Perhaps even Hathaway couldn't do this, because her area of expertise was destruction. That was why her tower was called the Ash Tower among the three towers.
In any case, the Alchemist was a nameless person. All he knew was that he was the greatest alchemist of all time.
This sentence was debatable — at least Marvin thought so.
In order to deal with Bamboo that day, the Alchemist had indeed revealed his hand.
However, after that incident, he never showed any difference from the usual freeloaders — except when Federer was working, he would jump up and down and give orders blindly.
However, Federer was able to endure it. To Ma Wen, this combination was quite strange.
They were working on the coffin that Ma Wen had brought back.
These coffins were all extremely rare items. In order to create these items, the slumbering Lich had spent a lot of time and effort.
As soon as Federer saw the coffins, he was immediately fascinated. He immediately began his own research.
In just two days, he had a general understanding of the structure and operating mechanism of these coffins. During this period, it had to be said that the Alchemist had contributed a lot.
Although when Ma Wen tried to ask the Alchemist to create some alchemy products, the Alchemist would suddenly appear in a state of amnesia — it was as if something was preventing him from converting the alchemy formulas that he had memorized in the past into reality.
However, this did not prevent him from spitting out some enlightening words when he was working as Federer's assistant.
These were all proper terms.
Ma Wen was confused as he listened, but every time Federer heard it, he would have a look of sudden realization.
This pinnacle level 2 Necromancer had a high level of understanding. After Ma Wen pointed out the general direction of the modification, and with the help of the strange Alchemist, he only used three days to modify the first coffin — no, it should be called [Breeding Tank] now.
The function of the Breeding Tank was simple. It was to slightly strengthen the physical fitness of the person who entered it.
The conditions for using this thing were also very strict. Only level 1 creatures could enter it.
After ensuring the safety of the Breeding Tank and that it would not turn into monsters like Corpse Seekers. Marvin chose a youth with the weakest physique among the guards who were loyal to him as a volunteer.
The youth lay in the first Breeding Tank for half a day. Federer and the Alchemist were also busy for a long time.
Ma Wen paid close attention to the whole process. He was also very nervous. After all, the plan to transform the coffin of the Corpse Seekers into a human Breeding Tank was only feasible in theory. If a monster was really created, the youth who had always been loyal to him and to the White River Valley would be sacrificed in vain.
This was something that Ma Wen did not want to see. So he repeatedly asked Federer about the success rate.
"90% success rate, 8% failure rate, but there will not be much damage to the human body."
"There is only a 2% chance of accidents, but these accidents are controllable. With me and that guy, the whole process is controllable. "
"If there are any problems, we can stop the whole process at any time."
This was Federer's solemn promise.
So the first volunteer's strengthening finally began.
Ma Wen named it the "White River Valley Soldier Strengthening" plan. If this one succeeded, then at least the first 20 guards who were loyal to the White River Valley would receive the strengthening plan.
As for the adventurers who were recruited later, including Drew, who had already become the deputy captain of the White River Valley guards, they would also have to wait.
Ma Wen had to ensure the loyalty of the people being strengthened. After all, strengthening was not free. According to Federer's calculations, each strengthening would cost at least 500 silver coins worth of magic materials.
The first strengthening was done with the materials from the coffin, so it was considered free. But after that, a lot of money would have to be paid.
…
"He's out."
Only when it was almost dusk did the thin and small soldier finally crawl out from breeding tank number one while staggering.
He touched his body and muttered, "I don't think there's any change."
Ma Wen smiled and asked Federer to bring him to the training ground for testing.
Half an hour later, the test report was out.
This lad, who was originally a Level 4 Warrior, received at least four Free Attribute Points. Including two points of Constitution, one point of Strength, and one point of Dexterity.
In other words, after this strengthening, he had increased his total level by eight!
The effect was quite obvious!
The young man did not have any side effects in the next few days. It was exactly the same as the information he had received in his previous life. The Breeding Tank made from the coffin was very useful for low-level soldiers.
Marvin finally waved his hand and ordered the rest of the 19 guards, including Andre, to begin the process of strengthening.
This was very busy for Federer. For this reason, Ma Wen found him an apprentice in River Beach City as an assistant. This apprentice did not have the talent to become a wizard, but he had some experience as an assistant to the Alchemists.
Ma Wen ordered this plan to be carried out in secret. He built a laboratory in the basement of the castle for the Necromancer's use.
Federer was extremely busy, and the physical qualities of the 20 guards who had followed Marvin in the beginning had also been enhanced in different ways.
Some received three points of attribute, and some received four points. Although they were not free, their physical attributes were indeed strengthened.
That was enough.
After successfully leveling up, they would become the core of the guards and patrols in the White River Valley.
Not those reckless adventurers.
…
As for leveling up, Ma Wen had always wanted to go to Gem Bay to hire one or two professional trainers.
However, he did not expect Constantine to bring him a surprise during this "vacation".
He brought two disabled veterans with him.
These two veterans were soldiers who participated in the battle against the Red Dragon Earl at Whirlwind Port. They were not very high level, only Level-9.
However, they had one ability, and that was training.
After the battle, many people from the city defense team of Whirlwind Port and other patrol teams retired due to injuries.
These two were a simple example. They had a good relationship with Constantine. After being severely injured by the Red Dragon, they wanted to find a quiet place to recuperate. Constantine brought them to the White River Valley.
At the very least, this place looked very peaceful.
Ma Wen hired these two veterans as instructors for the White River Valley Guards.
One of the instructors was a regular Storm Swordsman, and the other was a knight. The White River Valley did not have the ability to carry out a large-scale cavalry program, but this knight could still pass on his knowledge to the guards.
As for the advancement direction of the guards, Ma Wen considered that they were still mainly patrolling, so he decided on [Storm Swordsman], a class that was easier to pick up.
In this way, all the guards had a general direction of advancement.
They no longer went through the ineffective training. Instead, they started formal training under the guidance of the two instructors.
This made Ma Wen very grateful to Constantine.
…
The affairs of the territory became orderly under Ma Wen and Vigny's arrangement. The mines in the north were redeveloped. After sending a team of six to be stationed there, the few miners also began to work.
In the south, Ma Wen transferred some farmers to repair the abandoned pier.
Although the pier was not big, it would become an important hub connecting the east and west of the territory in the future. At the same time, it could also form a connection with River Beach City.
It happened to be the busy season for summer crops. The farmers had nothing to do at home. They had no complaints about being recruited by the Sir Lord.
Moreover, there was a stipend. Most of the people were very motivated.
…
Seeing that most things in the territory were on the right track. With the legendary Constantine in charge, Ma Wen was not afraid of anyone coming to cause trouble.
So he did not rest for a few days and set off again.
This time, his goal was Gem Bay.
He had to recruit enough adventurers and then apply for the Wilderness Expansion Order. If things went well, he also wanted to go to the cursed Pearl Island.
There were too many things to do. He could only do them one by one.
Ma Wen rode his horse and quickly approached the Spider's Crypt. The girl's face appeared in his mind.
"Lola …"
