READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 28: New Equipment
The straight-line distance from the Valley to Levi's castle is about 50 leagues, about 240 kilometers.
With Levi's sleepless and full-speed travel day and night, it actually doesn't take long to cross this distance. He set out from the Valley in the morning and arrived near the castle before dark the next day.
In theory, if other interference is not taken into account and Levi travels in a straight line, he can get home within a day.
However, on the one hand, the road he took was not a straight line, and there were many bends. On the other hand, there were always some obstacles of varying sizes on the road, such as trees, stones blocking the road, some potholes, and sporadic orcs that popped up from time to time.
All of these increased Levi's distance.
"It would be nice if I could have a full-speed horse."
Levi couldn't help thinking.
In MC, the maximum speed of a horse is 20m/s.
If I could ride a full-speed horse, let alone reach the Valley in a day, I could even go to the Valley for a meal in the morning and run back in the afternoon.
The horse I'm riding now is still a little slow after all.
But there is no rush. There will be full-speed horses sooner or later. Even if there is no speed potion to temporarily increase the speed, there is a probability that two horses will give birth to faster ponies.
As long as the genes are selected from generation to generation, good horses will always appear.
Click click click.
The sound of horse hooves gradually became smaller. Levi stopped at the city gate. Before entering the gate, he noticed something wrong.
"What's that smell?"
It's a bit fishy and a bit rotten.
Wait, why is the small iron gate next to the city gate open?
What is that, Oak?
Levi's heart sank, he got off the horse on the spot, walked quickly to the iron gate, kicked open an Oak's body and walked in.
Hiss——
Seeing the corpses all over the ground, Levi immediately understood what happened and went to check the ranch as soon as possible.
Fortunately, there was no loss.
"You are really reckless."
A rough count showed that there were more than 200 corpses piled on the ground inside the city wall, including the Oak and the wolf. Levi even had no place to step for a while.
Not only on the ground, but also on the top of the sentry tower on the city wall, they were obviously thrown up by the iron golems.
Now I know where the reputation comes from.
"What a big grudge, you chased me to my house to fight?"
Levi opened the reputation interface and took a look.
[Misty Mountain Orc Reputation: -344 (Dead Enemy)]
Don't say it, the hatred is actually not small.
Clang.
Several iron golems passed by with their cracked bodies.
It seems that there are also losses on my side.
Levi picked up a few iron ingots and a small red flower on the ground, shook his head, and planted it on the grass at the gate of the city.
No matter how strong the iron golem is, it still has a health bar.
Twenty iron golems facing a hundred cavalrymen, such a loss ratio is actually very scary.
If these orcs are all fearless warriors, with the right formation and tactical command, they may really be able to fight with the iron golems.
But it is obvious that these orcs do not have such qualities. Levi can imagine that once a group of iron golems rushed over, the formation of the orcs collapsed.
One's own territory always needs to be taken care of.
It took some time to decompose the bodies of the wolf into bones as fertilizer, and then move the bodies of the orcs out for centralized incineration. Levi used a bucket to wash the ground several times to remove all the blood and odor.
After doing this, Levi first took a look at the protozoa without MC characteristics, especially the two horses.
"Not bad."
Levi patted the horse's head.
The two horses are still healthy. Levi left enough grass and water before leaving, and they were not hungry during this period.
After simply cleaning the inside of the city wall, and taking out some iron to repair the damaged iron golems, Levi looked at his territory.
It always feels a bit small.
The places vacated by the previous expansion have all been built into farms and ranches.
Now I want to find a place to build an industrial zone, but there is no place to plan.
"We still have to continue to expand."
Do it as soon as you say it.
Levi put the items in his backpack into the warehouse on the spot, and took out a lot of building materials, dismantling and rebuilding the city wall, extending it outward continuously.
The expansion work lasted for more than a week. The amount of work this time was quite large. Levi directly extended the length of the city wall by double, and raised it by several meters.
The area of the territory was directly increased several times, and a large open space was added.
This action almost consumed all the cobblestone reserves that Levi had dug in the past two months. The warehouse boxes that were originally full were directly emptied, and this was not even enough, so the thickness of the city wall behind could only be temporarily reduced, and some stones would be dug when he went out to mine later.
To be honest, at this moment, as a private territory, the area here is really a bit large, and it is no problem to use it to build a city.
The city wall is more than 20 meters high and thick, and it extends hundreds of meters to the left and right. This is not something that an ordinary team of 100 people can think of.
I am afraid that I will be daunted when I see this scale.
At this moment, nearly half of the relatively flat land on this small plain has been included in the city wall, and the remaining flat land is estimated to support a large-scale expansion.
If it is expanded again, Levi will have to manually repair the surrounding terrain.
"Huh--"
After expanding the territory, Levi immediately marked out a new area for future industrial use.
Furnace, anti-metallurgy furnace, alloy furnace, anvil, workbench...
It is called an industrial zone, but in fact, there are not many things that can be placed at present, and it seems very empty.
What is missing?
Levi felt that a large furnace built with burnt black bricks was missing.
Although the newly unlocked alloy casting module made Levi feel novel, he also felt a little bit of pity. After all, if we talk about the best smelting module, the craftsman soul must be ranked first.
Maybe there is still some condition that has not been met.
Without thinking too much, without wasting time, Levi put iron and coal into the alloy furnace, and grains of experience fell from his body and entered the furnace.
Not long after, pieces of elven steel came out of the furnace.
From now on, Levi can also make elf equipment.
He immediately made a set of elven steel armor, and after wearing it, he found that the armor value was a whole grid higher than the iron set.
Unfortunately, there is a big gap from the diamond set.
But it's not bad, after all, the raw materials are only iron and coal, which are very cheap, and you can't expect more.
In terms of style, unlike the military standard armor with elven style worn by the elves, this set of armor is similar to the iron set in style. If you look closely, you can see some differences in details, and the color is also slightly different, which is silver-gray.
Weapons don't need to be made, they are not as good as the +9 attack sword in hand, but tools can be updated. Tools made of elven steel are slightly more durable than iron tools, and the digging speed is also a little faster.
It would be great if it could be enchanted.
Levi thought so more than for the first time.
But the materials for the enchantment table are always a big problem.
After thinking carefully, Levi found that he needed too many things, diamonds, obsidian, blaze rods, alchemy table...
Especially the alchemy table, the raw materials of the enchantment table are real after all, and you can always get them, but Levi really doesn't know where to get the blaze rod of the alchemy table.
Unless this world can be connected to hell.
But will connecting to another dimension really be allowed?
Levi thought secretly that he must try it if he has the chance.
