Lord of the People: Starting from the Goblins

Chapter 74 Preliminary Formation of Territorial Team

After thinking about it, Chen Tao also understood his weakness.

"It just so happens that there are a large number of fire spells recorded in the Fire Elemental Law Code. Look around to see if there are any suitable protective spells."

Chen Tao's mind sank into the spiritual sea.

The sea of ​​spirits will be opened naturally when the spiritual power reaches sufficient strength and magnitude. Chen Tao also successfully opened it through the various fusion talent bloodlines just now.

At this time, in the center of his light green spiritual sea, an illusory fiery red book was quietly suspended.

It is the Codex of Fire Elements - a simplified version.

The full version of the Codex of Fire Elements can only be opened in higher-level stores, and the price must be ridiculously expensive, and it is not something he can buy for the time being.

The spirit villain that belonged to him appeared in the spirit sea, and then touched the illusory fire element code.

This is the carrier of spiritual knowledge, instilled into his spiritual sea by the source store, and can be viewed at any time, and as long as his spirit is immortal, the code will never disappear.

Safe and reliable.

After opening the Codex of Fire Elements, Chen Tao skipped over the part of exercises, looking for the part about fire spells.

Because of the classification, Chen Tao quickly found the page about fire protection spells.

He pondered and chose.

Time passed, and soon, he picked out a fire protection spell that was suitable for him.

[Flame Barrier]: Summons a flame barrier that covers all directions. According to the amount of magic power input, the size and strength of the barrier can be improved accordingly (Note: Your proficiency and quantity of fire elements determine the defensive ability of the flame barrier. maximum limit.)
"With the spell of flame barrier, my shortcoming in protection is gone." Chen Tao thought with satisfaction.

When the proficiency of the flame barrier reaches an extremely high level, it can independently adjust the defense strength of each position of the barrier, and even freely gather the fire elements in the front of the barrier, and weaken the content of fire elements in the rear, so as to maximize the actual combat defense use and consume minimized.

In addition to choosing the fire barrier, which is a special fire protection spell that protects against penetration and instantaneous high-intensity attacks, Chen Tao also chose two fire spells that can be integrated with his current skills.

Improve speed and agility - [Flame Sprint]: Gather the flames on the legs, and increase the explosive speed and body agility in a short time.

Life-saving skill - [Firework Transposition]: A flame rises in place, and at the same time replaces the position with the flame in the field of vision.

As for the numerous fire spells in the other fire element codes, Chen Tao didn't choose any more.

It is enough to have a system, and then continue to increase the proficiency of these skills, what is needed is precision.

After learning three spells from the Codex of Fire Elements, Chen Tao also had three skills [Fire Barrier LV1], [Flame Rush LV1], and [Firework Transposition LV1] in the skills column on the panel.

They are all the initial level, and Chen Tao needs to spend a lot of time and energy to improve the proficiency of these skills.

In the state of time passing for the next year, he also planned his own personal plan, which is to mainly practice these three spells, and then to practice other original skills.

the next day.

Chen Tao got up from the floor covered with the velvet rabbit carpet, and looked at the beautiful woman who woke up after sensing the movement on the big bed in the distance, stretching her waist.

Zi Nan got up from the big bed, walked to Chen Tao, and helped him put on his clothes.

"Is it uncomfortable to sleep on the floor? Why don't you sleep on the bed tonight."

"No, wait until I fully grasp the power of the blood, now I can only grasp it when I am conscious, and I cannot guarantee whether the power of the blood will be revealed if I am unconscious.

If it hurts you then, that's not good, I will feel bad. "

Chen Tao responded with a smile, incidentally reflecting his concern for women.

Sure enough, Zi Nan's cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes were full of misty happiness.

Seeing this, Chen Tao smiled faintly in his heart, and said casually on his face,

"I still have things to deal with in the territory later, you are free to move around, practice spells or rest if you want."

Chen Tao didn't say such silly things as asking Zi Nan to go shopping in the city.

Today's gravel city is not friendly to humans who have experienced a prosperous society, and it cannot meet the most basic needs of shopping for people like them.

Although the residents of Crushed Stone City also have things to buy and sell, the goods are too low-quality, and the cleanliness of the food is not guaranteed.

You don't think goblins can cook food after washing their hands, do they?

What's more, at present, Rubble City is not only small in size and has few races, but also only a few dozen Adriatic human warriors among the intelligent humanoid species, and these humans are still pitifully digging mines on the Loess Plain.

However, with the evolution of civilization, Chen Tao can be sure that one day the city under his command will be comparable to Blue Star in his previous life, or even far surpass it.

Of course, this premise will definitely require a lot of hard work and energy and time.

But Chen Tao is not in a hurry, everything needs to be carried out steadily, and it is not good to take a big step and get caught.

"Okay, you go to deal with the territorial affairs, don't worry about me." Zi Nan nodded obediently.

In the underground prison of Crushed Stone City.

Chen Tao walked the aisle of the prison with Hulk.

His trip was to subdue the group of subordinates who were defeated by Enezer.

Including the lizardman old mage who attacked him, if he can be subdued, try not to kill him.

Of course, if the opponent insisted on not surrendering to him, then he had no choice but to recycle the waste and turn him into a skeleton mage.

If you don't give allegiance to him while alive, you have to give allegiance to him after death.

First of all, the first target - the black-robed skeleton mage of bronze level nine, this guy is the most dangerous, and he is also a talent who can play a big role in the development of Chen Tao's territory, so he should be dealt with first.

Among the skills and spells possessed by the opponent is a spell called Skeleton Resurrection, which can resurrect a dead corpse to give birth to a skeleton soldier. If the corpse was a mage before death, it can directly resurrect a skeleton mage from it.

Needless to say the role of the mage.

Although up to now, the mage group established under Chen Tao's command has not achieved good results, but from the black-robed skeleton mage he encountered, whether it is the old lizard man mage, one counts as one, they are all very strong , and if the conditions are met, these two mages can step up and cause fatal damage to stronger enemies.

The undead transformation of the black-robed skeleton mage caused a big loss to the silver-ranked Hulk. Fortunately, not only has it been resolved now, but his strength has also been greatly improved due to a blessing in disguise.

Chen Tao stopped in front of a cell.

Because the prison is located underground, some glowing ores from the natural caves in the dungeon were used as light sources for decoration during construction. In addition, they are all strong, and a little light is enough to see clearly.

In the prison cell, the black-robed skeleton mage was bound by a huge chain weighing hundreds of kilograms. When he saw movement outside, the green soul fire in the skull increased in fluctuation and looked at the person coming.

After seeing Chen Tao and Hulk, the black-robed skeleton mage became a little silent.

"You should be clear about the purpose of my coming here, don't I need to say more?" Chen Tao looked at it and said calmly.

After a moment of silence, the skeleton mage nodded in agreement.

"I am willing to submit to the adults and fight for the adults, but I hope that my property and dignity will not be violated."

The more knowledge any living creature acquires, the vision will expand accordingly, and the personality will also change quietly.

Therefore, most mages are very arrogant, not to mention being used as slaves, it is not easy for a mage to follow someone, even if the person he is following is a strong person.

However, after all, death is a taboo that all spiritual beings avoid. In the face of complete death and life, even the proud Faye will carefully consider it.

Therefore, although Caesar was very reluctant to be enslaved again, he wanted to live even more. What's more, the lord in front of him was much better than the master Enezer.

Although I don't have an in-depth understanding, I can figure out the character of this lord from the soldiers around him, the status of his subordinates, and his words.

And there is no doubt that Chen Tao is not the kind of master who is stingy with his own people, nor is he a pervert who will torture his subordinates, so Caesar finally decided to be loyal.

"Okay, I like direct people, so let's start the contract." A smile appeared on Chen Tao's face.

Although it was expected, I still can't help being a little happy.

Caesar did not hesitate, and the death magic power remaining in his body condensed a contract circle on his skull forehead.

During the process, the Hulk stood in front of his master, while Chen Tao used his golden fingers to detect all Caesar's movements in real time.

Fortunately, Caesar did not have any sneaky thoughts, and the master-slave contract was successfully concluded in the end.

After the contract was completed, Chen Tao signaled Hulk to open the cell and release Caesar.

In fact, if you really want to escape from this cell, these hundreds of kilograms of chains and shackles can't prevent a bronze-level mage from escaping, but Caesar himself is very smart, knowing that even if he can escape, he will not be able to avoid death, so he just let it go. It's tied up.

It's just a sense of ritual of being captured.

After a while, Caesar, who was freed from the heavy chain, walked out of the cell with the Hulk in a tattered black robe, and then silently stood behind Chen Tao with the Hulk.

"I believe that it won't be long before I can add another silver-ranked strongman under my command, and he will also be the first archmage in the territory to reach the silver-ranked rank."

Chen Tao said in a confident voice.

The green soul fire in Nishizawa's eyes trembled slightly, and the resistance in his heart disappeared a lot with Chen Tao's confident words.

"The subordinate must work hard to break through and live up to the high expectations of the master." Caesar said in a respectful tone, trembling with the fire of his soul.

"Don't worry, even if your aptitude is not enough, I still have ways to make you break through. As long as you are loyal to me, I will not treat you badly."

Chen Tao smiled lightly.

After that, regardless of Caesar's reaction, the group continued on to the next target.

In less than half an hour, Chen Tao ended his trip to accept his subordinates.

The result was not only expected, but Chen Tao was a little surprised that, including Caesar, the old lizardman mage, the leader of the snakeman, the skeleton knight Miles and his four skeleton knight subordinates all chose to surrender. .

Among them, when expressing to the old lizardman mage that it can be exempted from the crime of offending and the death of the tribe members after surrendering, the old mage was quite moved.

The lizardman old mage is more than 70 years old. For a tribe living in the wild, he is already very old. Naturally, his experience can be said to be very rich, but his experience is as rich as his. I have never seen such a benevolent lord in this life. .

You must know that it attacked with the purpose of killing him. Although subjectively it was not its will, and the attack plan was made because it could not resist the order of the original owner, Enezer, but no matter what reason, it could not escape. It almost killed each other as a result.

"Thank you for your mercy and kindness. I, Holmes Vol, will serve you instead of all the Vol lizardmen and become a sharp blade in your hands."

The last trace of Chen Tao's unhappiness disappeared completely with the other party's sincere allegiance. The lives of all the people in the tribe were entrusted to him for his use, which was not only a redemption, but also a way to relieve Chen Tao's dissatisfaction.

The old mage is still smart, so Chen Tao is unlikely to let his subordinate tribe who are so loyal to him perform some death-death tasks.

Because in this way, the death of the lizardman would become a loss of Chen Tao's own interests, and he would definitely consider it.

At noon, after lunch, Chen Tao gathered all the powerful and powerful subordinates in the territory.

Among them is Tie Jiu, who has been living in the depths of the underground copper mine in the Loess Plain.

However, it is rather special, being the only one present who has not signed a master-slave contract with Chen Tao.

If it is said that Chen Tao still had the idea of ​​forcing it to flash in his mind before, but now that his territory is getting bigger and stronger, his idea has completely faded away.

Without him, because Tie Jiu was completely unable to threaten him, and could not break away from him, there was a strange sense of tacit understanding between the two parties.

Whether there is a contract at this time is actually just a chance and a start, but whether there is a contract or not, it has no major impact.

The biggest impact is just that the communication between the two is more inconvenient.

There is no convenient way to communicate with the contract. In many cases, the requirements for the weapons and armors made by Chen Tao or the construction of other ironware territories for the people's livelihood must be conveyed through the ghost shark.

But this effect is really insignificant.

Sitting on top of the throne, Chen Tao, who is quite tall now, reaching more than 1.9 meters, glanced around the bottom like a tiger.

On the left is the Hulk who is Silver Level [-], followed by the newly promoted Goblin Warriors, Bronze Level [-] Bart, Bronze Level [-] Gnoll Patriarch Luke, Bronze Level [-] Riverside Centaur Patriarch Rupert, then Bronze Nine Skeleton Knight Miles, four Bronze Knights who have reached Bronze Seven, and Bronze Five Snake Race leader Laman.

On the right is Kisame, a Bronze Level [-], followed by Caesar, a Bronze Level [-] Skeleton Mage, and Holmes, a Bronze Level [-] Lizardman Old Mage.

Compared with the abundance of talents of fighters, the mage camp is really a bit shabby.

Looking lonely, and the mages are very thin, one is a goblin with a height of 1.6 meters, the other is a skeleton with a height of 1.7 meters, and the other is an old lizard man with a height of 1.8 meters.

But no one in the warrior camp would underestimate the fighting ability of these three people.

The weakest ghost shark also has the strength of bronze level five, and in addition to the magic water shield, it also has powerful water archery and water gun skills. Once it releases the most powerful spells, except for the green giant, No one else is absolutely sure that they can successfully receive the spell cast by a bronze-level fifth-level mage with all their strength.

After all, physical resistance and magic resistance are not the same. For fighters, physical resistance will increase as the level increases, and wearing some good equipment can also improve a lot, but magic resistance is different.

It is extremely difficult to improve the magic resistance itself, and it is difficult to improve the magic resistance by wearing magic equipment. Well, at present, including the lord Chen Tao, there is no magic armor on the warrior side.

They are all poor.
