Age of Adepts

Territorial, no inhabitants, it's nothing less than eating meat, no salt, of course it's pale and tasteless!

Though barefoot farmers and territorial inhabitants had little support for the Deep Red family, they also wasted a lot of family time and effort to plan their livelihoods for them. But in the long run, this step must cross the iron threshold of the past!

Where does the wizard come from?

They can be recruited and hired, but such wizards are always outsiders and it is difficult to develop them into family wizards loyal to the Deep Red family. Therefore, gather together the appropriate craftsmen and civilians to establish a stable ruling order, from which talented wizard apprentices are screened...

Only in this way will it be possible to cultivate a family wizard who is truly loyal to Grimm if the apprentice from the family territory is not worried, and the entire life of the family is sustained on the rise and fall of the Deep Red family.

External wizards, they come to profit, and naturally they go to profit. Once you encounter a dilemma that needs to be forgotten, the only ones who can rise above you are the family wizards.

So even if the cost of training a family wizard is huge, the Deep Red family can only build a family hematopoietic system step by step!

Now that the family has its own territory, and there are no enemies in the vicinity, it is the best time to recruit horses and draw a flag. As a result, Meryl couldn't wait to talk to Chev about the Territory's inhabitants when she just took control of the White Tower.

This is actually a very headache problem!

The Ice Wind Collar was originally a bitter cold place, adjacent to the Black Forest, and there was no Wizard Tower to guard it, so within hundreds of miles of the surrounding area, even if all the heads were gathered together, there would not be a hundred.

That's the only way people want to put together the prototype of the Ice Wind Leader family territory. It's so hard.

So in the end, the Ice Wind is short of people, a lot of people!

Of course, there was no shortage of thorns in the Northern Witches of the past, leading the vast majority of the inhabitants to create a legendary story of a witch's land in the Black Forest. But the legendary witches in the story, they never came from as thoroughly as the Deep Red family.

They are either supported by family forces or by witch factions. In short, they need manpower, force and force. Even so, it will take hundreds of years to recover a stable territory sufficient for the family of wizards to thrive from the many powerful monsters by pulling saws over and over again.

In the process, there are countless civilians who have died in harsh circumstances, from plague diseases, from wild smoke, from fierce beasts and from monsters of terror. It is only through the accumulation of human lives and the persistence of witches that it is possible to achieve final success.

But now, with the Deep Red family witch tower and the wizard, only a large number of inhabitants are lacking that can enliven the territory.

“Lord Chev, I wonder what the old Northern Witches would do if they wanted to recruit some of their inhabitants.” By the time the Chevy Witch was all that was left in the lobby and Winrill, who was brushing his hard books next to her, Merrill was anxious to ask.

“The inhabitants are the most precious possessions of every witch faction and will not sell them easily. If Lord Merrill really needs a bunch of colonists, I can return to some hereditary lands of the Witch of Destiny and force a bunch of them. However..."

Speaking of which, Chev couldn't help but pause.

“The environment here is too harsh and there is no material for living. I'm afraid it's hard to survive here, even if there's some forced conscription. We can't let farmers and businessmen live in the Wizard Tower! ”

Hearing Chev complain, even Merrill's host couldn't help but grieve.

Yeah, even when people are called in, how to survive in this ice and snow is a huge challenge! Did you get a bunch of people to do nothing but let the Deep Red family feed them?

“Why don't we find a way to relocate a bunch of sperm from the geotechnical landscape and start out as residents for the time being? They are brainy, skilled, and can help with maintenance and management of the Witch Tower…" Merrill hesitated.

“Meryl, let me remind you something. If there are too many heterogeneous members in a territory, it is difficult to receive those who are unemployed and free.” Chev warned kindly.

Meryl couldn't help but gloom.

And that's something you can imagine.

If there were too many aliens in the territory, it would definitely affect the perception and sense of security of those human inhabitants. Once their hearts are restless, the number of human inhabitants of the Ice Wind will be difficult to ascend. Scared away all these human inhabitants. Did they all recruit geotechnical apprentices, cannibal magic apprentices, dwarf apprentices?

“So, Lord Chev, besides these normal inhabitants, is there any other way to gain access to a large number of human civilians in the short term?” Chevy couldn't help but ask.

“Are you talking about human slavery?” Chev smiled slightly.

“Nice! I was wondering if there was a way to get a lot of cheap human slaves in the North. ”

“We rarely have witch-to-witch wars in the North, and even occasional disputes are mostly resolved in witch councils. So there are no so-called war slaves here either...”

Merrill's face had to get gloomy.

“However, it is in the dispersed Tallinn region that war is fertile, and there are ongoing clashes of annexation between large and small wizard families. If you really need one, we can buy one from the middle of the continent in the name of the Witch of Destiny. ”

“Oh, and this?” Merrill's eyes lit up immediately: “If purchased, what would be the approximate amount? And the price?”

“In the event of a family war in the middle of the continent, there may be losers. Families of the losing party, the colonists, could be split up and sold to other wizard families. And we, the Northern Witches, are represented there, and we can split a cup from these slave deals. The approximate number of slaves is 2000—3000 per year, and we witches in the North can be divided into 400—600 for about 500 magic crystals per 100 people..."

“That's a reasonable price! We all want it...” Meryl's eyebrows rose and her beautiful little face was ecstatic.

Chev shook his head laughingly: “I said that the Northern Witch as a whole can be divided into 400—600 war slaves, but only twenty or thirty will be divided into the hands of our Destiny Witch...”

“Only twenty or thirty…” Merrill heard, forced to exhale again.

At this rate of blood transfusion, even if the Deep Red family has been cultivated in the ice wind for centuries, it cannot sustain a complete framework of the Wizard family.

“If there aren't many suspects, go get them! Wars between the witch families are not allowed in the North, but there is constant strife in the scattered Tallinn. As long as you find a good reason, even if you destroy the other wizard families, the elders of the Presbyterian Church can only stare. At that time, the inhabitants and resources of the other family's territory were not all yours...”

Meryl rolled her eyes and the other person's words sounded harsh, but they were not rough, and if there was really no other way to do it, it was not impossible to try it.

Courtesy ended this‘ pleasant ’conversation with Chev, and Merrill came straight to the teacher with Winrill and the collated debriefing material.

At the residence on the thirteenth floor of White Tower, Meryl finally met Grimm, the busy teacher.

Grim has been busy building his own Wizard suit these days.

Fire dragon skins are available and a complex process of nitrification is required before use. Since this is the first time Grimm has handled such a premium magic material, the surface smoothness of the fire dragon skin can be seriously affected if something goes wrong throughout the process.

Besides, Fire Dragon Skin's most precious is the strange fire element power immersed in the interior. Only by finding a way to extract this power can the value of this premium magic material be fully realized.

You know, even in those big wizard forces or wizard families, master leather men are just as precious as alchemists! After all, the fur of a powerful monster can only be maximized after it has been handled properly and perfectly.

This technique and technique is also a rare alternative knowledge!

“What did you say... the inhabitants?” The brain is still immersed in a pile of magic formulas and witchcraft experiments, and Grimm took a long time to understand Meryl's main intentions.

“Yes, Teacher, we are so short of people in our territory that we must find a way to acquire a large number of people as soon as possible! ”

“Well, in the long run, the inhabitants are necessary!” Grimm sighed for a moment, but the young faces were hanging with a kind of steadiness and weight that only long-suffering people had: "But the infrastructure of our territory is not yet in place, and it is difficult to keep the inhabitants alive even when they are recruited. Therefore, in the short term, a batch of refills will be good to migrate from the sperm surface first...”

Merrill opened her mouth surprisingly, wondering how many years older the teacher was than herself, but with more thorough and detailed thoughts than herself. The questions he raised clearly coincided with the views of Lord Chev.

“But... teacher, if there are too many alien colonists, it will affect our subsequent recruitment of human colonists.” Meryl said her thoughts in anguish.

“It won't.” Grimm smiled softly: “The first goblins we recruited have been dominated by geotechnicians and engineers. The main task after their arrival is to create liveable housing and village models for the follow-on residents and to build a series of processing plants…"

“Processing plant?” Meryl was completely confused and felt a little out of touch with the teacher's thinking.

“Of course, processing plants must exist!” Grimm said softly: "Ice wind collars are too cold to be suitable for cultivation or livestock husbandry. To bring in the inhabitants, they must be given a certain life. My view is that organizing wizards and apprentices to gather and hunt in the Black Forest, to capture and hunt back monsters, beasts, and those stocks to dispose of the necessary resources in the family factory. Let the new colonists convert them to craftsmen with certain skills...”
