Chapter 56: Eagle Man (Part 1)

The rainy season has passed and the southern plains ushered in a sunny day.

It was already early summer, and the breath of spring gradually faded away, and a heat was faintly brewing in the air. The construction progress of Athens towns was not delayed due to the weather. After the blacksmith shop was completed, the residents of the town arranged to dig canals to divert water in Murphy and planned the drainage channels of the entire town. This included the prototype of the river surrounding the city and the design of public toilets and public baths in the future.

The construction progress of the temple has temporarily entered a peaceful period. Due to the population of the territory, the requirements for expanding the temple cannot be met again. At present, it is only repaired at the original progress, and most of the wooden structures are replaced with more magnificent marble!

In addition, the busiest construction is the shooting range.

Because the horse shed does not have many horse resources at the moment, Murphy has not yet invested in the construction plan. However, because of the emergence of the centaur longbow, he had to change his plan to build the shooting range first. Just now, the territory urgently needs a group of archers to increase the long-range lethality!

The construction of a low-level shooting range is not cumbersome. You only need to plan a spacious space and give archers a practice venue.

There are many sandstones near the lower channel of the Nidolia River. These silts are very thin and can be used to pave roads, etc. The ground of the shooting range is paved with these silts, with wooden fences around them and targets. The shooting range covers an area of ​​about 60,000 square meters, which is a space of about 400 meters long and about 150 meters wide.

The shooting range is built next to the town military camp, and is also considered one of the military camps.

Murphy is preparing to concentrate all the buildings on military training on this area and then block it.

In the military camp, idle people are not allowed to approach!

It was around nine o'clock in the morning.

The location is a deep forest that is embedded in the southern plains of the Karazan Mountains, which is close to fifty kilometers away from Murphy’s town!

The imitation of the centaur longbow was not successful, because the technology of the longbow, but because the wood textures that can be found near the town were not qualified and did not meet the strict requirements for making a longbow!

In fact, when the craftsmen in the town first saw the centaur longbow, they figured out the tricks of making it. The longbow production process is not complicated, and the difficulty is the requirements for the longbow users. However, in the subsequent imitation process, the imitation products made did not meet the standards! The problem is wood, and the wood for making the centaur longbow is quite necessary, and the wood must be hard and elastic. On earth, the best wood to make the centaur longbow is yew, but the wood used for the centaur longbow is a bit similar to oak, but if you ask what wood it is, Murphy really can't recognize it.

In order to find alternative wood to make centaur longbows, Murphy had to spend time inquire about the wood made in this world from the experienced Aboriginal people in the port. He also summarized the wood that could be found near the territory, and tried to find alternatives that could be made into longbows.

Hard work pays off!

After spending two days, Murphy finally learned from an indigenous mercenary who had been a carpenter that there was a rare tree called "ebony" outside the Karazan Mountains. This number was hard and elastic. It was once a large-scale material used by the elves to make bows and arrows. However, it was not easy to find this wood, because most of them grew deep in the dense forests, where ferocious beasts and some dangerous creatures were active areas.

And legend says that some terrible plants that are ‘people-cannibal’ growing near the ebony!

The mercenary couldn't say what it was, because he had never personally searched for ebony. However, according to Murphy's estimate, it should be some carnivorous plants similar to human-eating trees and human-eating flowers. This plant is not too dangerous, as long as you are careful, there should be no big problem.

Since there are clues, things will be easier to handle.

The wood elves living near the Karazan Mountains had moved a long time ago. Therefore, if the ebony was not destroyed, they should be near the elves' gathering place outside the Karazan Mountains. According to Murphy's estimate, according to the elves' natural habits, the possibility of destroying the ebony is not high. After all, the elves' care for flowers, plants and trees is the highest among all races!

In the past two days, Murphy suddenly had an idea to assess citizens who were literate and knowledgeable in the territory. By accident, he actually found a talent from it.

Subsequently, the "Total War" auxiliary system gave Murphy the prompt to discover talents and recruit them as followers.

This talent is not very old, about 25 years old, born in a business family, and has a very good talent in trade. After testing his abilities, Murphy, who has always been worried about the lack of staff around him, immediately promoted him to a financial officer to assist in the management of territorial tax statistics and trade statistics. Here Murphy has to complain that in the older era, it is not easy to find a talent with excellent arithmetic ability and statistics!

After the appointment is issued, the statistics of followers listed in the auxiliary system are somewhat different.

Because the entourage page shows the position appointed by Murphy - the Treasurer, but there is something interesting before these three words.

"A qualified financial officer (this person has a good business acumen, and with his help you can manage the territory more handy. Management +1, trade income increases +10%)"

Qualified!

This is the key to the problem!

Murphy suddenly understood why several territorial officials appointed before did not obtain data statistics from the auxiliary system. The key point is their ability!

The personnel appointed previously did not meet the requirements of the Total War auxiliary system, so they were not worthy of being included in the scope of the minion.

Qualified financial officer!

Only qualified financial officers can increase the lord's management ability and truly help the lord manage the territory. As for those who are unqualified, of course, they can only be used if there is no one or the other.

With a qualified financial officer, Murphy was immediately liberated from the cumbersome affairs of the territory!

He finally didn't have to personally count the material budget and inventory balance. Now he just needs to browse the statistical reports submitted by the financial officer regularly every day and make the next arrangements.

It is precisely because of this that Murphy has the time to lead the team to the outside of the Karazan Mountains to find ebony.

General Leodalee went with Prife to trade with the centaur tribes living in the Sharma Basin. Now there are no people in the territory that can reassure Murphy. Before the new general is discovered, he has to go there himself.

To avoid trouble, Murphy only brought the cavalry of the General Guard.

In this way, if he encounters any danger, he can also escape at the speed of the horse.

Now, he has to find the ebony first. Then he finds a way to transport them back.
Chapter completed!
