Chapter 164 A simple shadow monster trap
Out of caution, Leon planned to build a pass at the Bergoli Pass.
Because even at the widest part of the valley, its width is only a few hundred meters, making it the best choice for building passes.
Even if the power of the elves has been continuously weakened over the past thousands of years as Aaron analyzed, Leon has always been extremely vigilant about the land south of the mountains.
Now, the elves have emerged.
But as the Antolians gradually move deeper into the abandoned land, other novel races may not be discovered in the future.
Orcs, monsters, even the Great Dragon...
Leon always likes to prepare for a rainy day.
First, build the pass at the Bergoli Pass so that the people living in Antolia can feel more secure.
The refugees that Antolia has just gathered from all over the kingdom will also have more job opportunities.
After all...
the construction of a new city alone cannot satisfy the energy of the Antolian people.
Let alone 996, even if it is 007, Antolian people may not be born to complain.
The lord has given the people a job, do they still want to rest?
Therefore, after some careful analysis, when Leon realized that the current power of the elves was probably not too exaggerated, the topic between him and Aaron gradually began to deviate and circled back to Antoli. Asia’s internal affairs.
However, for Antolia's internal affairs, except for major events that require Leon's personal decision, Leon basically adopts an offline monarchy system.
It's not that he wants to be lazy, but on weekdays, he has to study ancient magic and plan the future of his family. Where can he have so much time and energy to deal with the trivial daily matters?
As long as Antolia's army is firmly in hand, Antolia's stability will not be a problem!
So...
After hastily discussing the internal affairs, Leon followed his established plan and summoned the only great mage in Antolia, Mr. Albert.
Instead of sitting in the study thinking about the unclear attitude of the elves, Leon actually wanted to further explore the path of ancient magic.
This is not only the pursuit of magical power, but also a guarantee for further development of one's golden fingers.
For example, with the successful completion of the Shadow Manipulator.
The phased goal Leon set for himself was to quickly tinker with a shadow monster trap.
There was no way, not a drop of the shadow monsters in the ancient archives were left during the riot.
This resulted in that during this half-year period, Leon could only dispel the black fog that filled the ancient archives by capturing shadow monsters in his spare time.
Although the Shadow Manipulator is very useful, the problem is... Leon can only take out things from the Ancient Archives, but cannot bring things in from outside the Ancient Archives.
As for why the staff and sword used by Leon when suppressing the shadow monster riot were brought in, Leon said that he did not know.
Therefore, he could only settle for the next best thing.
Consider whether there are other ways, that is, capturing shadow monsters faster, to speed up the dissipation of the black fog in the archives.
The emergence of Nightmare Fuel gave Leon such an opportunity.
Shadow monsters feed on black mist, and nightmare fuel is the final product formed after the black mist condenses.
Leon would naturally think about it, could he use nightmare fuel as bait to attract the shadow monster?
The answer is yes!
Due to the existence form of the shadow monster itself, those stupid shadow monsters cannot feed on nightmare fuel. However, nightmare fuel is condensed from black mist after all.
So...
even if you can't eat it, before you can verify it for yourself, as a single-threaded shadow creature, the shadow monster will definitely be attracted by the nightmare fuel.
This is not Leon's imagination, but a conclusion that Leon came to after these days of observation.
Although ordinary people cannot see the existence of shadow monsters, any mage who can feel the existence of magical power can clearly see the shadow monsters wandering in the world as long as his spiritual power is reduced to a certain level. Strange.
It is precisely because of this that from the moment Leon delivered the nightmare fuel to the craftsmen of Antolia for their research, the migration route of the shadow monsters has undergone major changes.
In the past, shadow monsters from all over the kingdom floated in a straight line.
According to the principle of the shortest straight line between two points, it drifted directly towards the abandoned place.
But now...how should I put it?
The migration route of any shadow monster passing through Antolia cannot help but become obscure.
It floats to the left for a while, and to the right for a while.
Anyway, let’s float around the nightmare fuel for a while.
This also resulted in the craftsman's workshop responsible for researching nightmare fuel becoming the place where the largest number of shadow monsters gathered in Antolia.
I don’t know what kind of state of mind those diligent craftsmen would have if one day they realized that there were crops of Ah Piao in front of and behind them, and even within a radius of several hundred meters. .
So...
it is imperative to build a simple shadow monster trapping device!
This is not only for dispelling the black fog in the ancient archives, but also for the construction of enchanting materials.
Only if Leon has enough shadow monsters can these shadow monsters produce their own ecological reactions, so that higher-level shadow monsters are born in the process of eating each other, and they can drop more after being killed. enchanting materials.
Leon has a deep understanding of the sharpness of enchanted weapons.
It was not difficult for him to imagine what kind of fear would be felt in the hearts of Antolia's enemies if each of Antolia's soldiers had a shadow knife.
It is precisely for this reason that in order to build Antolia's army into a formidable elite division.
The first time he saw Albert, Leon said straight to the point:
"I need shadow monsters! Enough number of shadow monsters!"
Anyway, Albert is his teacher first, and then the leader of the Jimena family. mage.
Is it normal for students to make some requests to teachers?
"The gathering of shadow monsters will lead to the birth of high-level shadow monsters, and the birth of high-level shadow monsters will drop precious enchanting materials." Facing Albert with a question mark on his face, Leon took the initiative to explain
.
"I need time to study magic!"
Albert said angrily.
Although he is employed by the Jimena family, the relationship between the archmage and the nobles is by no means a direct vassal relationship.
Albert obviously has the qualifications to refuse Leon's request.
"As long as the shadow monster trap can be built, the Antolia Magic Academy that I promised before will start construction!" "
Albert... Dean!"
There seemed to be endless temptation in Leon's words, which made his original face The resolute Albert couldn't help but trembled.
"It's a deal!"
He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
Woohoo, I forgot to save the outline I wrote yesterday, and I was confused when I opened it today...
