Chapter 84 Epiphany
The procedures for the handover of the fief went smoothly.

The fat steward tried his best, but in the end he offered to stretch out his fat face to be slapped.After Anthony scared the shit out of him, he became incredibly enthusiastic and proactive about the handover.

Can you not be enthusiastic and proactive? Those sheepskin scrolls are still in his hands.As long as it is not returned to Anthony for a day, he will always be holding a powerful bomb.Something was a little wrong, he and his parents, wife and daughter would all be blown to pieces and die in hell.

As for Li village, ever since the village chief brought back the promise of the new owner, the people of the Li clan were cheering and excited.If they didn't know that there were still a series of cumbersome handover procedures to be completed, they would have wanted to arrest all the members of the Fontaine family in the fief and kick them away.

The three parties involved actively promoted the handover with a high degree of unanimity, and the handover procedures only took half a day to complete.

The fat steward led all his subordinates away in a hurry like a bereaved dog in a dejected state.He was relieved that Anthony hadn't taken advantage of him to make things difficult for him.

However, he has done these things after all.Returning to the Fontaine family, what punishment or fate awaits him is still unknown.

However, these things have nothing to do with Li Village, nor Anthony.

Now, what Anthony has to consider is the problem of those half-human, half-beast monsters in the forest.

According to the information gathered by Hilton, these creatures living in the forest are very weird.Judging from their living habits, they still belong to the category of beasts.However, they use bows and arrows!Not only can they use them, they can even make their own bows and arrows.

From this perspective, they, or rather they, can already be counted as human beings.

The people who deal with them the most should be the people from the Li tribe.From the mouths of the people from the Li tribe, Anthony got more details about the monster.

The more he learned, the greater the doubts in Anthony's heart.

The appearance of these monsters is very close to that of humans, and their behavior is also similar.Their main means of attack is archery.Bows and arrows seem to be their innate instincts, and their archery skills are superb and skilled.

The strangest thing is that this monster can only be seen in this forest.No matter in history or now, neither in the Glorious Empire nor anywhere else in Oscontinent, there is no record of this monster.

It's a weird place.The legends of ancient true gods, rare and precious minerals, powerful Li people, and half-human, half-beast monsters of unknown origin.

If Anthony has free time, he may stay here for a while and slowly explore the hidden mysteries.But now, he just wanted to solve the problems caused by the monster.

The most direct and thorough way is, of course, to kill all the monsters.But looking at the endless green mountains and plains in front of him, he thought of finding monsters in it and killing them one by one.Anthony thought the idea was kind of silly.

Active offense does not work, the only thing left is defense.

Li Village occupies a large area, and there is an equally large piece of cultivated land next to it.Since most of the labor is mining, the side farther from the village has been abandoned and deserted.To the south of the village is the source of the Sunset Mountains, where the mine is located.

Except for the strange rocks all over the mountain on the other side of the mine, the vegetation is not long, and it looks a bit bare and desolate.The remaining three directions of the village are all surrounded by lush trees.

And in the forest, it is the world of monsters!
In all fairness, the Fontaine family didn't just know how to squeeze blindly, they did make some arrangements in terms of defending against monsters.After all, if the miners die, they will become sitting on the gold mountain but cannot access it.

However, the area that Li Village needed to defend was too large, and the Fontaine family seemed powerless.For example, building a tall wall around the village is the most suitable solution.But the project is huge, not to mention the cost of money. During the construction period, there are endless attacks and killings by monsters. How can there be craftsmen who are willing to come here to work.

In the end, Li Village had no choice but to demolish some houses on the outskirts and bulldoze them, creating a isolation zone.According to the original house, several sentry towers were built, and people were sent to watch day and night.The clansmen in the village usually stay in the house obediently and dare not go out if they have nothing to do.

Even with such a cautious and fearful life, from time to time, some clansmen were brutally shot and killed by monsters' cold arrows.It made the people of the Li tribe feel sad and resentful, but there was nothing they could do.

Now, this problem is placed in front of Anthony.

The plan of building a city wall is ruled out first.The Hilton family is not short of money, but this is not just a matter of the past.To repair this city wall, I don't know how many craftsmen will die.

And the most important thing is that Anthony can't afford this time.

Or, let's play something taller?

People from the Li tribe stood under the windows and in front of the doors of the houses in the outermost part of the village, looking out through the cracks in the windows and doors.There are those who are brave enough to hold a pot lid or a door panel in front of them, stand leaning on the sentry tower, and look curiously at the noble nobleman from afar.

I saw the young man walking alone on the isolation belt between the village and the forest, his demeanor and pace were as leisurely as walking in his own back garden.Those monsters that resembled humans appeared from time to time, watching him, but they failed to attract his attention.

Of course, the monsters can't do anything to the boy.In the past, the sharp arrows that made the people of the Li tribe turn pale, are now completely turned into toys.Before he got close, he was blocked by the magic shield cast by the boy early and bounced away.

If someone has good eyesight and observes carefully, he can still see a little metallic luster on the boy's body.That is the appearance effect of "steel skin".

From the surface alone, Anthony has at least set himself two defensive spells.It's no wonder that he concentrated on checking and measuring the terrain, turning a blind eye to the monster's arrows, and didn't care.

It took a long time for Anthony to inspect the open space around the village separated from the forest.Then Anthony stayed in the gorgeous house that the fat steward used to have, and spent another whole day carefully deliberating and designing a set of formations.

A set of psychedelic formations from another world.

After two days, the people from the Li tribe crowded to the edge of the village again to see what the young man was going to do.

Anthony has already ordered that the mine be temporarily suspended, and mining will not resume until the threat of monsters in the forest is resolved.Of course, the remuneration will be paid twice as much as the previous standard.

Where can I find such a noble lord who takes care of the common people so sympathetically.The people from the Li tribe couldn't help being moved to die for their confidants, and they were extremely supportive of this new owner.

In this world, ordinary people are indeed easy to be satisfied and know how to be grateful.

Anthony came to the isolation zone next to the village again. This time he was not alone, and there were several warriors from the Hilton family behind him. Two of the warriors were carrying a large bamboo basket full of magic crystals.

The young man held a blueprint in his hand, and from time to time compared the topography and position of the open space, calculated and painted on it.

Whenever the boy's painstaking calculations come to fruition, the warrior Hilton who silently follows behind will take out a magic crystal from the big bamboo basket and bury it deep in the location indicated by the boy.

The Li people didn't understand what Anthony was doing, but they knew that the noble lord sent by the new owner was working hard for the safety of their own people and to solve the deadly threat of monsters.Also, the job shouldn't be easy.

Anthony's movements were very slow, from the time when the sky began to light up to the scorching sun, he only directed the warriors to place about 10 magic crystals.And the spread of the magic crystal is less than one-tenth of the entire isolation zone.

The monsters in the forest may already have a certain amount of wisdom, and have been hiding behind tall trees to observe and monitor the actions of these humans.

Of course, greetings with sharp arrows are indispensable.It's a pity that the arrows shot by ordinary people or "ordinary beasts" can't pose a threat at all in front of professionals who have been prepared for a long time.

After many attempts, the monster also stopped shooting needlessly, and just hid in the forest and stared at it.

As for rushing out of the forest to fight?Although the monster is not smart, he also knows that hand-to-hand combat is not his strong point.

Anthony was unaware of what was happening outside.At this moment, he has been completely immersed in the formation of the other world, and his spiritual consciousness has entered a very mysterious realm that seems to be unreal.

In his mind, only the lines that make up the formation, the energy flow that drives the formation, the key intersection nodes, and so on are left.The length and arc of the lines, the size of the energy, the speed of the flow, and various changes in the formation... all kinds of complicated formulas and a large number of complicated calculations are changing rapidly in his sea of ​​consciousness, appearing and disappearing.

The youth in military uniform that Xiaobai transformed into stood quietly aside, with a rare solemnity on his face.

The cultivation talent of this young host from another world is really rare.It is only in the realm of refining and transforming Qi, and the contact with the formation is not long, but it has already been able to set up the magic formation by itself.

And after this epiphany, his comprehension of the formation will definitely be more refined, and he should be able to enter the realm of Xiaocheng.

Cultivation is known for being complicated and difficult to understand, and to have such an advancement, even with the credit of the best teacher, the system, is enough to be called terrifying.

Anthony also ignored Xiaobai in the sea of ​​consciousness.

In Anthony's eyes, there is no Xiaobai, no Hilton Warrior, no Li Clan people, and no monsters.Not even a village, no forest, no clearing.

The open space for laying the psychedelic formation has been completely stripped away.The rest are mysterious patterns, various lines, numbers and formulas.

Anthony felt that he knew that he was in a state of epiphany, which is rare for practitioners, but he seemed to know nothing and feel nothing.His soul seems to be divided into two, one is trying to comprehend, fully absorbing the formation knowledge; the other is standing quietly, neither happy nor sad, watching the other busy there without emotion.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Anthony's mind.

For the past few days, I have been thinking hard about the fusion of the two world formations and the magic formation. It seems like the sun is melting and the snow is melting, and it is like a butterfly flapping its wings to fly.

"Ding!"

Just as Anthony was about to grasp the tail of this thought and get a glimpse of the whole picture, a crisp sound reached his ears, waking him up from the state of epiphany.
