Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem - Chapter 846 - 321: Enhanced Wall, the Second Assassin!
Chapter 846: Chapter 321: Enhanced Wall, the Second Assassin!
After speaking, Yaskin hung up the communication.
Meanwhile, Cao Xing walked while starting to contemplate related matters.
Undoubtedly, a mature territory naturally needs a commercial model of its own.
After all, no business is more profitable than real estate.
It’s a lucrative matter that can continuously generate profit.
Just like the store that Yaskin bought, the annual rent costs 150,000 crowns.
And throughout Merlin City, there are countless shops like this.
Imagine, over the course of a year, the crowns earned just from collecting rent are an astronomical figure.
Most of this money ends up in the pocket of the City Lord.
Not only the money from the shops.
As the City Lord, he also has various tax revenues.
Commercial tax, trade tax, etc…
The revenue-generating capacity of a prosperous city is far more terrifying than that of a baron.
If Cao Xing could own such a city, he wouldn’t have to worry about money and resources.
Shaking his head, these are very distant matters.
As the saying goes, you have to eat a meal one bite at a time, and walk a road step by step.
Currently, what is more important for Cao Xing is to enhance his own strength.
When his strength is strong enough, these things will naturally fall into place.
As he thought about it, he had already arrived near the [Intermediate Mage Tower].
Then he called out the old mage Tyrone.
This old mage, ever since he was summoned by Cao Xing, has stayed inside the Mage Tower.
The accumulation of experience saw him rise to Level 30, and today he officially broke through to the Fourth Rank.
At this moment, seeing him, the old mage Tyrone respectfully bowed, “Good evening, esteemed Lord.”
Cao Xing nodded slightly and then said, “Mr. Tyrone, have you grown accustomed during your time in our territory?”
The old mage revealed a gentle smile and then exclaimed, “Lord, as mentioned before, this is a magical territory.”
“To all mages, it exists like a Holy Land, and I find it very easy to live here.”
“Moreover, until now, we haven’t made any contributions to the territory; yet you, Lord, not only allow us to use the Mage Tower freely but also help us increase our strength.”
“I truly feel somewhat ashamed…”
As he spoke, Tyrone’s eyes showed a hint of guilt.
These Earth Element mages are still growing; after learning more skills in the Mage Tower, they can possess stronger war power.
So usually, they haven’t been put to much use.
Cao Xing shook his head, “Old Mr. Tyrone, no need to feel ashamed, now I am here to have you work, aren’t I?”
Upon hearing this, Tyrone’s expression immediately brightened, and he quickly grasped the magic wand, excited, “Lord, command me as you wish, I will do my utmost to fulfill your requests.”
Cao Xing smiled, “It’s not a big deal, I just intend for you to cast the ’Rock Barrier’ advanced magic on our territory’s walls.”
This skill can greatly enhance the armor and durability value of the walls but requires a large consumption of magic power.
Previously Tyrone was just a third-tier leader; now after breaking through to the Fourth Rank, his spiritual power soared a great deal, it was time for him to shine.
Although only half of the territory walls were built, Cao Xing just wanted to test this skill.
Upon hearing this request, Tyrone respectfully replied, “Honored to be at your service, Lord!”
After speaking, he and Cao Xing came to the border area of the territory.
Looking at the half-built walls, Cao Xing asked, “Mr. Tyrone, now if you were to cast at full strength, approximately how many meters of walls could be covered?”
This advanced spell is not fixed; the area of casting is determined by the amount of magic power invested when the caster uses the skill.
The old mage observed for a moment and then said, “After my breakthrough to Fourth Rank, spiritual power significantly increased, if I completely exhaust my magic power at once, I could cover 30 walls, which is roughly three hundred meters in length.”
Hearing this, Cao Xing calculated in his mind.
This advanced spell has a cooling time of 30 minutes; at 300 meters per cast, it means it would take at least 11 hours to entirely cover all of the territory walls.
However, now that the walls aren’t finished, it won’t take such a long time.
Additionally, Cao Xing’s main purpose was not to know how long it would take for old mage Tyrone to cast spells on all the walls.
Rather, he wanted to test whether this skill could receive an enhancement from [Eternal Power].
From 10 minutes to permanent?
Thus, Cao Xing straightforwardly said, “Go ahead and try.”
Tyrone upon hearing it, immediately raised his magic wand.
As obscure, heavy syllables poured from his lips.
The next moment, the soil ahead began to rise rapidly!
Then, a large quantity of earth covered the walls and quickly dried and hardened, appearing to wrap the walls in a tan shell.
In the blink of an eye, a tan-colored wall had been completed.
Not only that, Cao Xing noticed that the thickness and height of the walls had also significantly increased.
From the original 4 meters height, 1 meter width, it swiftly increased to 8 meters height, 2 meters width!
This area has already exceeded that of advanced walls.
A moment later, Tyrone completed casting magic.
walls all soared in size!
And he seemed exhausted of magic power, his face somewhat pale.
At this moment, Cao Xing was eagerly waiting.
Finally!
A System Prompt appeared.
[Your territory member Tyrone Rock Speaker has successfully cast [Advanced Spell·Rock Barrier]. Wall armor increased by 400 points, durability increased by 40,000 points, lasts for 10 minutes, affected by the talent [Eternal Power], the status is now permanent…]
