Lord of the Oasis - Chapter 212
Chapter 212: The Mage Apprentice’s Dormitory
The emblem was fluttering in the wind on the flag.
On the sturdy shield, the golden lion on the red bottom was also clearly visible.
This represented Kant’s region and troops. When these emblems and flags appeared, it was his territory. It symbolized the legitimacy of Kant’s ruling power and the display of the Lord’s honor.
Standing at the window, Kant smiled and nodded. “That’s it.”
High above the red flag, the Golden Lion was awe-inspiring.
When Kant’s power began to be exposed by outsiders, the castle under this flag, as well as the elite soldiers gathered around this flag, would become an existence that everyone feared.
Now, he could sleep well at night.
But Kant would not relax.
Looking at the bustling scene outside the window, he knew that if he was careless, the flames of war would still spread.
Although the environment of the Nahrin Desert was cruel, the true cruelty was not beyond the hearts of the people.
After coming out of the Dukedom of Leo, Kant had experienced countless battles. If it were not for his previous life’s experience, he would have been devoured by the group of nobles who were eyeing him covetously.
Noble status did not bring him glory and wealth.
It brought him a life-and-death crisis!
He had to be willing to give it up. Only by being open-minded could he survive.
Otherwise, he would not be willing to give up most of the profits and let Baron Daron, who was at the Stone Pass, be his shield. He even lowered his status and gave up his dignity. He lowered his head and called him “Uncle.”
“Of course.”Kant narrowed his eyes. “There’s no need for that now.”
He could endure humiliation.
That was why he could step into glory.
The real world did not have so much arrogance and pride for you to show off.
If you wanted to live, how could you make a comeback?
Then learn to be humble when you were weak, lower the enemy’s guard against you, and use all the people you could rope in to unite and form an advantage that was advantageous to you. Slowly develop, and then live to become stronger!
Kant, who already had a castle, was now on the rise, stepping into a glorious and prosperous status.
Although he still had to treat the noble families of the Dukedom of Leo with caution.
But he could also be fearless.
Even if the number of soldiers and civilians in Drondheim Castle was only 2,000, the castle beneath him was a castle. The towering city walls and arrow towers, as well as the elite and valiant soldiers, so what if there were tens of thousands of enemies?
Going deep into the Nahrin desert, the logistics could drag down any human army!
Just like the Kingdom of Gray Mane.
High-level Jackalan had wisdom, strategy, and combat strength. Their civilization was not inferior to that of the human countries. In fact, in terms of combat strength, they were superior to the human troops because of their racial talent.
However, even after passing through the Nahrin desert, they were exhausted and had lost their logistics. They were also wiped out in the desert by Kant and a few elites. Even if there were surrenders, they were sold to the Kingdom of Victoria in Caladia, they became slave miners who could not see the light of day in the snowfield mines.
The physical fitness of humans could not compare to jackalan, and they did not have the talent to endure the heat and cold.
Therefore, Kant’s geographical advantage could offset his disadvantage in numbers.
He returned to his room.
The castle had been built, and now it was time for the other parts.
System mall’s lottery.
After experiencing the main quest, Kant now had 10 honor points.
These 10 honor points could be used for 11 lottery draws.
This was a reward that belonged to the system.
A dialog box popped up in Kant’s vision, and a colorful treasure box appeared in the middle of his eyes. The mysterious content seemed to burst out, bringing all kinds of useful materials.
“System, start the lottery!”
Kant gave the order.
[ ding… the lottery begins ]
The system answered quickly, and at the same time, the colorful treasure box slowly opened.
The notifications kept coming.
[ you have received a construction pack: chicken farm × 5 ]
[ you have received a construction pack: Bee Farm × 5 ]
[ you have received a construction pack: small fishing farm × 5 ]
[ you have received a construction pack: Tanning Workshop × 5 ]
[ you have received a construction pack: flax fields × 50 acres ]
[ you have received an item pack: urban migrants × 500 people (female)]
[ you have received an item pack: rural refugees × 500 people (female)]
[ you have received an item pack: Trade Caravan × Team 1 (random destination)]
[ you have obtained Hero Pack: Villain Noble, Rolf ]
[ you have obtained hero pack: Crossbowman captain, Bandake ]
The 10 consecutive draws of 10 honor points ended immediately.
However, the system reappeared in the dialog box.
[ you have obtained construction pack: Apprentice Dormitory (Enfath Empire) ]
An additional reward from the system.
“Apprentice’s Dormitory?”
However, when Kant saw the final construction pack, his eyes widened. “Could it be…”
His heart beat rapidly throughout his body as he stared at the dialog box in his eyes. He could clearly see the construction pack that he had received, but the agitation in his heart grew even more fervent. “Enfath Empire!”
His mind directly communicated with the system, and the details of the building popped up on his retina.
[ apprentice dormitory: Military Building. This was the dormitory where mage apprentices lived in the Enfath Empire. At the same time, they would also study their magic theories diligently. Special Effect: one mage apprentice can be provided for recruitment every week. The recruitment fee is 50 denar per person. Remark: this building can be integrated into the Council Hall. ]
Kant’s eyes were slightly stunned.
But his originally calm face immediately showed an ecstatic expression.
He could no longer maintain his calm.
Because the most valuable gift pack for this lucky draw was this building!
The Enfath Empire, a powerful human empire in the wind of war, occupied the western side of the continent. It had powerful firearms troops and close combat troops, as well as mysterious and unpredictable battle mages.
And the apprentice dormitories were the necessary building to recruit mages.
Although they were only the lowest level of mage apprentices.
But these mage apprentices were also mages who had mastered mysterious spells!
Even if the power of the spells used was low, and even the power of heavy crossbows and other cold weapons could not compare to it, for ordinary people, spells that appeared out of nowhere and mastered natural elements such as earth, wind, water, fire, and so on, the shock that would be brought would be the trembling of the soul, the fear that came from the soul!
Just like how firearms were able to scare warhorse and soldiers when they first appeared on the battlefield.
What people often feared was the mystery of the unknown!
“Very good.”
Kant’s breathing was a little hurried.
In this world, it was clearly recorded that there was an existence that possessed the power of magic.
The mages in the Mage Tower were like Otakus. They also possessed magical powers that was difficult for the world to learn. Even the powerful grand knights and Extraordinary Knights of the human race had to show their respect in front of these mages.
In order to rope in these mages, the human countries had even defined their ranks as honorary noble families.
The meaning was very simple.
If one became a mage, then one could become a noble!
Although they did not have real power, their reputation was respected to the point that they could not be added to it. Even the priests and pastors in the temple had to bow their heads to these mages who had extremely high destructive power and all kinds of strange magic, to express their respect for them.
And in the recent example, Kant’s teacher in the academy, a Hanke academia who had studied the lost city his entire life, was a low-key mage who had hidden himself in the academy to study archaeology.
However, Hanke Xuezhe’s spells were definitely not weak.
The arcane spells he cast allowed Kant’s low-level troop class to face the barbaric jackalan head-on.
From this, one could also experience the profoundness of spells.
If Kant had been able to rely on elite troops to exhaust the enemy troops with battle mages in the past, he would not have been afraid of these mages who had mastered mysterious spells. However, this did not mean that he did not need this troop class that had mastered mysterious powers.
The Enfath Empire’s apprentice dormitory made up for this flaw for Kant.
It also allowed him to have the troop class of mages in his combat sequence!
“Build!”
Kant’s thought communication system directly turned this golden card into golden light.
The apprentice dormitory could be built in the Council Hall. Therefore, Kant directly built this building on the top floor of the council hall. It was located on the west side, forming a single small house with strange patterns.
This was the residence of the mage apprentices, where they would rest and study after a hard day’s work.
Kant intended to take a look.
His own room was on the sixth floor, the highest floor of the council hall.
The spiral staircase connected the entire floor of the council hall, while on the fourth and sixth floors, each had access to the large bell tower on the right and the high-level watchtower, as well as the wall of the council hall, which was guarded by soldiers.
The entire council hall was more like the main body of a small castle. It was a military building alone.
It was the same on the top floor.
Kant followed the spiral staircase to the top floor.
20 Vaegir marksman were standing around vigilantly. When they saw Kant coming over, they immediately bowed and said, “My lord, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“Yes.” Kant nodded and asked, “Did you find anything unusual?”
“No,” A Vaegir marksman answered seriously.
“Very good.”
Kant turned his head to look at the layers of yellow sand in the distance. He nodded in satisfaction and said, “Continue to be vigilant.”
These Vaegir marksmen were very conscientious.
Kant turned his head to look at the top-floor platform.
The entire top-floor was very wide at a glance. It was about 500 square meters in area. On the right was a large watchtower and a high-level watchtower. Kant raised his head to look up. His neck was 90 degrees. Only then could he see the high-level watchtower that was 40 meters high, the height of the tower made him feel a little dizzy. It was estimated that people who were afraid of heights would be so scared that their legs would go weak.
However, Kant was most concerned about the apprentice dormitory that was built on the west side of the platform.
It was also built with stone and wood.
However, the surface was decorated with exquisite traditional patterns of the Enfath Empire.
The entire building looked somewhat mysterious and noble.
There was nothing they could do about it.
The wind of war belonged to the fantasy world, and the human countries, the powerful Enfath Empire, would undoubtedly crush the Kingdom of Swadia in terms of overall strength. Even the former Kaladya Empire would probably not be able to compare to it.
Moreover, it would crush them in all aspects, such as economy, culture, system, military strength, art, and so on.
