Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 66

Although Cullens was sent out and given a lot of support, to Owen, what information Cullens brought back was actually not that important, because no matter what situation he was facing, he needed to have enough strength to deal with it. Otherwise, it will be meaningless, because you have only two options: escape or surrender, so the first thing he did was to let go of the restrictions and speed up the conversion of serfs.

In the absence of supplementary serfs from the outside world, the previous incentive mechanism no longer applies. The sooner he transforms into a farmer, the higher the work efficiency and the faster the development of the territory. For this reason, he even postponed the conversion of goblins.

With the continuous conversion of serfs, although the population of the territory has not increased, the efficiency has improved a lot. After all, every farmer is a generalist, and they never slack off. It can be done in half or less time.

With enough farmers, plus the spring plowing has passed, Owen is ready to build the city wall, the only problem now is that there is not enough material.

The city walls in the Northland are mainly wooden walls. After all, although there are not many trees in the Northland, they are better processed than stones. However, in Owen's view, wooden walls can only be regarded as walls, and city walls must be made of stone.

But the walls before the castle were all used for construction by him, and the rest was far from enough to build a wall that could surround the entire town.

Owen was troubled by this. Although the Buffalo Territory had enough stones, it would require at least [-] manpower to mine, grind, transport, and build the stones, which was already beyond the territory's capacity.

According to the calculation given by Maya, it will take at least five to ten years to initially complete the city wall system without greatly affecting the production of the territory, because according to Owen's plan, the city wall to be built must be able to accommodate at least three to 5000 people. , which also includes castles and barracks, it is simply a small city, no wonder even Maya, who knows the work efficiency of the farmers in the territory, gave such a time.

For five to ten years, Owen couldn't accept this at all, but there was no better way, so during this time he stayed in the study and looked through the games in the system, wanting to see if there was a better link. One, if it doesn't work, he will exchange the city wall directly from the system. Although the consumption is high and the cost performance is low, at least he doesn't have to wait so many years.

A flying owl knocked on the glass of the study window. Owen was taken aback. He walked over to open the window, took out a handful of nuts from a jar beside him, and opened the envelope brought by the owl.

This is the owl in Hogwarts. Although it looks exactly like an ordinary owl, it is actually a magical creature, because it only needs to provide a name, not even a photo address, and it can send letters. Even better than navigation, no one would believe it wasn't a magical creature.

"Found the ruins?!"

The letter was sent by General Goblin, saying that they had found the ruins and were digging the entrance.

This news immediately made Owen very excited, because he suddenly had a good idea.

Owen couldn't wait to call Shire, and rode the heavy armored goat straight to the goblin tribe, not even going to the wooden village.

Deep in the magic horn tree forest, a large group of goblins were running around like a group of mice, but the tall goblin at the head was still not satisfied.

"You damn slackers, speed me up. If you don't dig the entrance before the Lord Demon King arrives, you all will die!" General Goblin waved the sharp double-edged battle ax in his hand and roared angrily. .

There is no war in this ghost place, and the bravery of General Goblin is useless. Apart from farming, the only thing the Lord Demon King cares about is this ruin. useless.

But it is not it that is useless, but these untransformed horned goblins.

Relics often represent danger. The goblin general naturally used the untransformed horned goblins as cannon fodder and let them dig around, but the efficiency was very low, and it had to kill one every once in a while in a cruel way. Goblins, let these forgetful bastards hurry up and move instead of staring at the corpses on the ground and drooling.

When he heard the unique hoofbeats of the heavy-armed demon sheep, General Goblin didn't care to reprimand the horned goblin who was distracted again, and hurriedly turned to welcome the arrival of Lord Demon King.

Owen is lamenting that he has gone so far into the magic horn tree forest without knowing it, and there is still no end in sight. It seems that the whole forest is far wider than he imagined, so who built a ruin here?
Maybe he will get the answer soon, maybe he will never get the answer, but none of this is important, the ruins will not run away, and the moment they are discovered, they have already become his possessions.

At the end of the road, the goblin farmers were cleaning up the dry and collapsed magic-horned tree blocks. They found relics in the potholes formed by the roots, but they couldn't find the entrance. They could only drive the untransformed magic-horned gobs Lin shuttled among the surrounding magic horn trees, looking for the entrance of the ruins.

Owen turned over and got off the sheep, carefully climbed under the pothole, and saw a corner of the ruins with his own eyes.

I don't know who built the ruins back then. All the stones were one meter long and one foot thick. Even if they were attached by the roots of the magic horn tree, they still maintained the integrity of the whole. This shows how much money was spent in the beginning.

After exchanging a bucket of dye, Owen wrote a Chinese character on the stone wall with a brush, then circled it decently, and said to Charles behind him.

"You don't need to look for the entrance, start dismantling it for me from here!"

You thought that Owen would patiently wait for the goblin to find the entrance, and then venture into the ruins with a few maids, go through countless hardships, go all the way to the deepest part of the ruins, and finally leave with a box of treasures after learning the truth ?

It's not right, Owen is neither here for archaeology, nor is he here for fighting, even if he is fighting, he is also a warrior, so his plan is very simple.

Owen would not go in at all. He planned to clean up the magic horn tree on the ruins first, and then send more goblin farmers to dig the soil. As much as the ruins were exposed, all the stones were removed to repair the city wall.

In this way, even if there are countless traps inside, it is useless, the roof and foundations have been demolished, and the bricks will be transported away for you. Unless it explodes in situ, otherwise even if it is self-destructed, the materials can continue to be used.

Of course, Charles would not have any doubts about Owen's order. He gripped the upgraded Hammer of the Demon Goat, held the goat's mouth down, and held it high.

With a roar from Charles, the extremely developed muscles on his back bulged like an airbag, and the long black hair that fell on the plate armor on his back fluttered for a long time. Arms and muscles were ferocious, swinging the Hammer of the Demon Sheep slammed on the stone wall of the ruins with a vicious wind, it was like being hit directly by a rocket launcher, and the terrifying rubble flew up half a sky high with a whistling sound. Not even first aid.
