Chapter 173 The Birth of the First Magic Cannon
After finishing their work, Brent and his men quickly returned to the urban base in the center of the forest.

What puzzled them was that at this moment, more than 700 tribesmen were sitting in a circle on the open ground, and the scene was extremely lively.

"Haha, I got it. I got my identity and household registration!"

“Is this the household registration certificate here?”

"With this household registration, as long as you cultivate a hundred acres of land, you can get half an acre of your own land. If you cultivate more, you can also get seeds. Am I dreaming?"

"And I can build my own house on it and own the property rights. Doesn't this mean that the house will be mine in the future?"

"Great! We can grow our own food from now on!"

People kept coming out of the crowd, holding a magic crystal certificate in their hands, and dancing with excitement.

Owning their own piece of land on the black soil was something they had never dared to imagine before.

But now, as long as they obtain household registration here, they can get land through their own labor.

Even if it’s just half an acre per person, it’s enough for them to survive!

Brent and others who rushed back were also shocked when they heard the news, and hurried to the elf team responsible for registration.

"Brother, give me one too. What are the requirements for household registration?" The captain of the guard beside Brent shouted.

On the way back, he had heard Brent talk about the importance of household registration. Now that he heard that he could get household registration, he couldn't sit still.

"No requirements. Anyone who stays here can take it." The elf looked up at him, then took out a crystal stone with a magic circle drawn on it, "Inject your own magic power into it."

This enchanted magic circle that can record soul information was provided by the Great Elder of the Dark Elf, and the carrier was the elemental ore that Rhodes brought back from the Holy Mountain of Elements.

Because it contains magical power, the enchanted array only requires very little energy to activate, and can be used to record everyone's identity information.

After all, he had played a lot of farming games before, and he knew that the larger the population, the harder it was to manage, so he came up with this idea.

First issue the first batch of household registration to these purified people, so that those who come later can see what differential treatment means.

By then, won’t you be so envious that you want to join him and work hard to help him farm?
This is all free labor.

"Haha, Sir Sean, look, I also got the household registration certificate!"

The captain of the guard excitedly squeezed out of the crowd with the crystal in his hand, and also held another crystal nameplate in his hand.

"What is this?" The others looked at the nameplate and asked in confusion.

"That's what you're talking about." The captain of the guard picked up the nameplate and boasted, "This is proof that I've reclaimed a hundred acres of land. They said I can now go to the planned living area and choose a piece of land to build a house, and the rest can be used to grow crops!"

Brent: ???

A group of guards: ???

"No."

"When did you secretly reclaim a hundred acres of land?"

"You didn't lie to me. Did you really get the land?"

“Can we go and pick the land now?”

Not only them, but also the others around them were looking at the nameplate in his hand with burning eyes.

I thought there would be some other requirements, but unexpectedly I actually received the land certificate.

All of a sudden, the whole crowd exploded and tried desperately to squeeze in to register their information.

Those who had just obtained their household registration were even more excited to continue cultivating the land, hoping to get their own land as soon as possible.

As for the panic caused earlier.

Go to hell.

Could that be important?

As for those who arrived here later and are not yet eligible to obtain household registration, they are extremely envious and only regret that they did not come here earlier.

They also picked up the wind blade hoes they had been given earlier and went out to work, hoping to quickly get their household registration here and settle down.

……

at the same time.

After traveling for more than half a day, the demon team has sent those who chose to leave back to Crescent City.

When they learned that they had returned safely from the Death Forest, the entire canyon was instantly in an uproar. Countless forces rushed over and surrounded them.

then.

The news about building a city in the Death Forest spread quickly among the crowd, causing exclamations and discussions.

"There really is a city inside the Death Forest!"

"It turns out those two succubi didn't lie!"

"As long as we help to cultivate the land and build the city, we can get food?"

"You came back from such a good place. You must be a liar."

"Just because we made a mistake, we killed hundreds of people. It turned out that they were trying to trick us into passing through."

"This is really hilarious. If I had the ability to build a city, I would kill anyone who dared to contradict me, not to mention breaking the rules!"

There have been more and more news about the Death Forest these days, and many people have been eager to go there to find out the truth.

If it is true as the rumors say, that they are building a city there and recruiting people vigorously, wouldn't it be a waste of a great opportunity if we don't go?
As for what that group of people said, some people believed it while others doubted it.

If that place was really that good, why would anyone want to leave?

Unless these people are out of their minds.

This also makes many people wait and see.

However, there was one team that did not hesitate and headed straight out of the city towards the Death Forest.

"Boss, are we really going over there?"

A teammate couldn't help but ask.

"Tsk, what do you know?" The team leader said with disdain, "When people defend themselves, they subconsciously beautify their actions."

"Although those people described the other party as extremely evil and murderous, and how innocent they themselves were, they overlooked one important thing."

"What is that?" All the team members looked over.

"Looks!" The captain said firmly, "Didn't you notice that they look much better than when they left? I don't think an organization that kills innocent people would take such good care of them."

“So, they are lying!”

Several teammates reacted instantly, their eyes shining.

"Do you understand now? Let's go quickly. Those guys are not stupid. They will definitely react soon. By the time the news spreads to Liberty City or other places, we will have no chance. We must hurry over and gain a foothold!"

After saying that, the team members quickened their pace and hurried towards the Death Forest.

Some clever people followed closely behind, saying that going to the Death Forest would mean death and that everyone should not go, but secretly they ran faster than anyone else and sneaked out of the Crescent Canyon when no one was paying attention.

When they arrived at the Death Forest and saw a group of residents chatting and laughing while digging a canal, they knew their guess was correct.

After a brief negotiation with the residents, they plunged into the forest.

Led by the residents, they saw the prototype of a city built in the forest and the clean land around it which was completely different from what they had imagined.

"Hey, there's a newcomer."

Seeing this, the patrolling guard captain walked over quickly from a distance and inquired about the situation.

During the questioning, he intentionally or unintentionally straightened his chest, revealing the crystal plate on his chest.

There were two big characters "Zhuang Bi" engraved on it, which was his own name.

"..."

The resident who was in charge of leading the way twitched his lips a few times. He knew that this guy was showing off his newly acquired land and he wanted to pull out his nameplate.

"Then I'll leave these people to you. Let's go and reclaim the land first!"

After throwing out a few words in extreme dissatisfaction, several residents hurried away, looking full of energy.

Several outsiders looked at each other in bewilderment: "What... is wrong with them?"

"It's okay. Maybe it's because I think my nameplate looks cool." Zhuang Bi said, showing off his nameplate and then walked in front to lead the way.

The way the old man walked, if you didn't know him, you would think he was some nouveau riche country bumpkin.

Every time they arrived at a reclaimed area, they attracted a lot of murderous gazes, which made the outsiders look at them strangely and wonder what was wrong with these people.

But soon, they were shocked by what they saw.

Whether it was the elemental elves wandering in the air, the endless expanse of purified land, or the lantern trees used for lighting, they all brought them great shock.

But what shocked them the most was that the residents were busy planting crops and building cities, which was completely different from the rumors outside.

The bet was right!
Several people looked at each other, their eyes full of excitement.

Because no matter how dumb one is, one can see the huge potential here, which is even far beyond their imagination.

There was no time to waste, and he quickly followed Zhuang Bi to the base to register.

……

Forest interior.

On the altar of the moon goddess.

As the population increased, Rhodes also began to consider the issue of public security.

After all, it is not easy to manage a city, and you can't let Augla and others solve all the problems.

So, he thought of a way.

Improve the armed forces of residents and let residents manage residents!
"Master Rhodes, what are you doing?"

After finishing their work, Augla and Alpha rushed back and looked curiously at the pile of things Rhodes was tinkering with.

Especially when he saw the cylindrical object that was as thick as an arm, hollowed out in the middle and filled with an elastic structure, Augla's expression suddenly became strange.

"Why does this thing look so much like what human males use to comfort themselves?"

Rhodes:? ? ?
"Where did you learn these weird things? This is a magic cannon barrel I made specially for you!"

"No, I just saw a few human men using it secretly outside recently, and it felt similar..." Augla scratched his head, only to find that Alpha was looking at him with contempt.

"What are you looking at? Don't you dragons have that kind of thing? Don't you have that kind of need?"

"No, our dragon clan's mating season only comes once every ten years. We are not as filthy-minded as you." Alpha said seriously.

"Ten years?" Now it was Augla's turn to be surprised. "No wonder there are so few of you. With your efficiency, you can't compare with those humans."

"That's because Lady Moon God has taken into consideration our huge size and it's not advisable for us to have too many of us." Alpha glanced at him, ignored him, and continued to look at what Rhodes was making.

After Rhodes used gilding powder to draw the alchemical array and inlaid a piece of fire element crystal, a simple handheld cannon finally appeared in his hand.

"Done?"

"It's done!"

Rhodes looked delighted. He picked up the cannon, aimed it at the rock in the open space in the distance, and pulled the trigger to connect the missing magic circle.

All of a sudden.

The fire crystal burst out with dazzling light.

The energy contained in it, under the guidance of the magic circle, gathered in front of the muzzle, forming a terrifying energy.

"boom!"

The energy accumulated to its peak, and a beam of energy suddenly shot out, instantly penetrating the rock more than ten meters away, with a loud rumbling sound.

"This……"

"It has at least the power of second-level magic!"

"Lord Rhodes, do you also know fire magic?"

"But I didn't see you using your magic power?"

Augla and Alpha were shocked by this scene.

It wasn't because of its powerful force, but because Rhodes didn't even mobilize any magic power to launch such a powerful attack.

Doesn't that mean.

Even those who have no talent for magic can use this thing to cast second-level attack magic?
"It finally worked."

Rhodes was overjoyed and wiped the stains off his face.

He had wanted to make this magic cannon a long time ago, but because he was not very familiar with fire magic, he put it on hold for the time being.

But now it's different. He has awakened the mastery of all kinds of magic, and feels that the fire arrays in the "Alchemy Secret Book" have become much smoother.

So I tried to draw fire impact magic on the barrel, and then use the alchemy array to charge the crystal. Unexpectedly, it actually succeeded.

He glanced at the cannon in his hand. Under the effect of the alchemy array automatically absorbing energy, the flame crystal that had been exhausted and dull gradually became full again, and it would not be long before it could be fired again.

If there are enough fire crystals, you can directly replace it with continuous firing.

This is the first magical device he invented - the flame magic cannon!

"Is this okay?"

"If those goblins knew, they would probably go crazy, right?"

After listening to Rhodes' explanation, Augla and Afar were both surprised and looked strange.

If this news got out, all the goblins would probably come running to become his disciples, crying and begging him to teach them.

Because they have never been able to solve the problem of automatic energy supply, they have been unable to fully promote alchemy among ordinary civilians.

After all, not everyone can afford expensive magic crystals to replace the consumption of magic items.
