Lord of the Oasis Chapter 68: .Manid’s arrival
The desert environment is cruel and unsuitable for colonization and reproduction. Most of the reasons are too strong sunlight and too high temperature.
Looking at the special effects of the sun disc that can control the temperature, Kant finally understood why the Lost City could stand in the hot and barren desert of Naron, becoming the legendary golden city.
"But the area covered by the special effect is 500 square meters..."
Looking at the introduction on the retina, Kant frowned slightly.
In the current "Dehrim" village, the overall area of the building alone is 1,000 square meters, excluding spring water, 7.5 mu of reclaimed wheat fields, and 2 mu of date palm forest.
This means that the coverage of the sun disk can only be maintained near the Consulate.
"The range is too small."
Kant frowned, which was different from what he thought.
If the special effect of the sun disc can cover the entire sentry oasis and the entire village of "Dehrim", then the adjusted sunlight and temperature will definitely make a huge change in the oasis.
Don't worry at least all the time, if the wheat seedlings emerge, they will be burned to death.
【Ding...system prompt】
[The strange objects currently possessed are displayed as incomplete or damaged, and they can be repaired. After the strange objects are complete, they will have better and more special effects. Remarks: Please explore the repair methods by yourself. ]
As if aware of Kant's stagnation, the system gives a prompt.
However, this is useless.
He just told Kant how to solve it, but the specific solution was not clearly stated at all, and the words "please explore the repair method by yourself" directly put Kant in the dark.
"It's really tingling."
Kant couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head helplessly.
But it's better than nothing.
Looking at the faint golden streamer at the feet, the sun disc is absorbing the sunlight coming in from the window, the temperature in the room that was originally hot, has become a lot cooler without knowing it.
Although it is still hot, it is not as hot as a steamer like before.
It's still afternoon.
The highest temperature in the Narun Desert is at noon.
Although the temperature as high as 70°C is only less than half an hour, as long as there are no protective measures, ordinary people can suffer from heat stroke and dehydration within this half hour, and fall miserably in the desert. time to form a mummified corpse.
The title of civilized desert is not for nothing.
Kant is here, and naturally has a deep understanding.
"I can sleep well in the future." With a helpless smile in his heart, Kant comforted himself.
At least I won't be woken up by the heat from a nap, or woken up by the cold at night.
Pinching his eyebrows, Kant continued to pour himself a glass of water on the table, moisturizing his mouth and throat. The data list in his retina was pulled down, and the dialog box displayed a new list of gift packages.
………………
[Desert Bandit Camp: Military building. Earth and stone buildings upgraded from strongholds. 10 Desert Bandits can be recruited every 7 days. Note: Requires "Desert Bandit Stronghold". ]
[Training Ground: Military Building. The land was compacted, paving the square with stones. Allows high-level troops to train low-level troops, adding a small amount of experience to low-level troops. ]
[Stone walls: military buildings. The whole is a city wall made of stone blocks, 5 meters high and 2 meters wide. Comes with 1 hardwood gate. At present, the entire village can be covered, and the price of the excess building is 10 dinars per meter. ]
[Sugar Workshop: Civil Building. A hut made of wood with complete tools inside. Arrange farmers to enter it and consume raw materials to make various types of sugar. Currently available: Date Palm Sugar. ]
………………
These are buildings.
Items in the 4 building packages given by Kant.
3 military buildings and 1 civilian building.
After checking the introduction, Kant nodded secretly: "It fits the current situation."
Desert Bandit Camp is an upgraded version of the stronghold. The most notable feature is the number of recruits, which has changed from 1 person per week to 10 people, which greatly improves the scale and formation time of the desert bandit light cavalry.
After having a training ground, the high-level arms can train the low-level arms, which can also promote the quality of the troops.
"As for the stone walls, we finally have defenses."
Kant had a smile on his face.
Although it is only a small stone city wall 5 meters high and 2 meters wide, it is also a city wall.
As long as it is built around the entire "Dehrim", and there are no siege weapons, then Kant leads his troops to defend the sentry oasis, which means that they are invincible.
Be aware that there is no water source around the Sentinel Oasis.
The nearest water source is the well of the Gnoll tribe two days away.
If the enemy can't make a quick decision in the shortest time, and directly attack Kant's village in one go, then if you want to play a long-term siege with Kant, you don't even think about it. The final end is not only to die of thirst, but to be sunburned to death. .
"However, the city wall is not in a hurry."
Kant thought about it carefully, and he also had his own arrangements.
Now his enemies are not only the Greymane Kingdom, but also the nobles in the Lion Principality.
After his caravan appeared in the Principality of Lions, the news that the Sentinel Oasis is rich in salt will spread throughout the human kingdoms, and countless merchants, speculators, and even all kinds of gangsters will appear here.
Kant would not naively think that such a valuable salt trade would not be coveted by anyone.
This is a world where the big fist means who is right!
Therefore, he needs to build a city wall reasonably, to cover the village of "Dehrim" under the protection of the city wall, and also to ensure that the development of the village will not be dragged and bound by the construction of the city wall.
After all, while protecting the city wall, it also divides the area.
Besides, the enemy has not yet arrived, so Kant does not intend to rush to repair the city wall.
Development is the last word.
On the retina, Kant looked at the last building, his eyes brightened.
"Sugar factory?"
He said the name softly, his eyes thoughtful.
In this world, luxury goods are not only spices and refined white salt, but also high-quality sugar. They are also good things that aristocrats and big businessmen flock to buy at any cost of silver coins.
Snow-like sugar, sometimes equivalent to spice, is more valuable than salt.
Most of the candy in the Principality of the Lion is bought from the elves, and the price is equally astonishing. It is not something that ordinary people, minor nobles and knights can afford.
The only ones that can add sugar are those apples growing in the forest, or berries growing in the bushes.
These things, which are not actually separated from food, are not really sugar.
"Date palm sugar, seems very interesting."
Kant licked the corner of his mouth.
Dates are rich in sugar and are indeed a good choice for sugar making.
He knows that as long as the dates are dried and ground into powder, it is the most basic date palm sugar. If you can add honey and cook it for a while, you can even make sweet candy cubes. Quite delicious.
Thinking that there are still many dried dates in the warehouse, Kant smiled.
He suddenly discovered that in addition to the salt trade, he could also open a sugar trade.
The Principality of the Lion is a dumping ground for superior products. After all, Kant knows that the principality, which is mostly plains and hills, does not produce salt and sugar. The most important thing is that the world has no concept of dumping.
Whose product is cheap, whose product is popular and sells well.
It's pretty straightforward.
As for the leader of the caravan, Kant now has a candidate.
Phatis is an excellent commander of the Swadia army, but when it comes to business activities, he can't keep up with this traditional business family from the Nord Kingdom, a professional businessman called Manid.
The cards in his mind were shattered into golden light.
And just behind the dunes not far from the sentry oasis, a figure riding a heavy horse and carrying a package appeared there.
Soon, the watchtower spotted him.
The 5 Sarand riders rode past ~IndoMTL.com~ after a brief exchange and brought them back.
Looking at Manid and the five Salander riders slowly coming over, Kant also came to the window with a cup of water, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, the leader of his own caravan, isn't this coming.
"All cheer up!"
The voice of Fatis sounded, and he was still arranging patrols for the troops underneath.
Kant opened his mouth and said to him: "Fatis, greet Manid, I think you should know him."
"Manid? Oh, that handsome businessman?"
Fatis was stunned, raised his head to look at Kant, nodded and said, "Of course, I know him. I used to work with him in Kurau to crush a few troubled alcoholics."
"It sounds like you're doing a good job."
Kant took a sip of water, nodded and smiled: "He will be the leader of our caravan from now on."
In Calradia, the relationship between Fatis and Manid is good. Both belong to heroes who refuse to rob civilians and loot caravans, not to mention that one is from a noble family, the other is from a merchant family, and in ordinary times there are also common language.
