Territory that lacks everything

Facts have proved that Qin Muye was sloppy. It is not a problem to transform six spirit workshops into magic spirit workshops, the problem is that he has no money.

First of all, he needs to make up 70 gold coins to convert 49 spirit monsters into magic spirit. Yesterday plus today's gold coins, minus the fraction, there are only 5,000 gold coins. These existing spirit monsters in the mage tower territory alone needs 3430 gold coins, plus the 10 spirits led by the demon blood, a total of 4130 gold coins needs to be consumed.

Even if you add the 2,000 gold coins produced by the two gold mines tomorrow, you can only recruit 20 magic spirits at most.

Therefore, if the output of the magic spirit workshop really increased from 10 to 100, he would not have enough gold coins to recruit.

This made Qin Muye feel a little overwhelmed for a while. He has been concentrating on research. He thought that special resources would restrict him, but he never expected that he would be restricted by gold coins.

In fact, these days, gold coins seem to be the most useless basic resource for Qin Muye.

"It's really hard to beat a hero with a penny." Qin Muye sighed, feeling that it was really inappropriate.

But he didn't think too much about it. There must be a way to the front of the mountain. Although he realized it later, he now also understood the importance of gold coins. Research also needs funds.

Magic spirits can still be further transformed. Now, if we use fantasy terms, this magic energy spirit is probably in the middle stage of Tier 1, and it can be upgraded to the late stage of Tier 1.

However, Qin Muye still needs more in-depth study and research. In his estimation, it is estimated that the offensive and defensive attributes can be pushed to 10 points, and another related skill can be obtained.

If this is coupled with two other scientific research studies, it would be quite good.

And the magic spirits can also enter the training ground for training in the future, making than an elite class arms.

"Not only lack of money, materials, but also heroes..."

Right now, there is only one demon blood spirit, which makes Qin Muye feel less secure. Today is the seventh day, the last day of the novice period.

After today, all the protection is that the monsters will not take the initiative to attack the territory.

This shows that in the next 23 days, not only will he have to face the raids of other lords but also the targeting of the aborigines.

That's right, in Qin Muye's eyes, the aborigines are also hidden enemies, not collaborators.

Judging from Molik Bronzebeard's (dwarf) attitude, the aborigines are bound by the rules of "Lord's Era", byt they were all real beings. Qin Muye would be unhappy if he was in the same situation.

For example, when he passed by, when the other party sold him something, he was reluctant, but because of the rules, he had to sell it.

But being bound by rules doesn't mean that the other party has no way to target the aborigines, and this world is not created by the chosen lords, so if you want to pit them, you can't say that there is no way.

"What's more important is the lack of time."

Qin Muye knows his situation, let alone his combat effectiveness. He can be chased by a goose like a chicken.

So when he think of fighting in the future, not only with the lords, but also with these aborigines, he will have quite a big headache.

He never imagined that the aborigines would accept them. Judging from the attitudes of Molik and the wisdom tree, the former's dissatisfaction was written on his face, while the latter, although he looked kind, also had some schemes hidden, which obviously shows their attitude towards the chosen lord.

Therefore, Qin Muye guessed that they were most likely treated as invaders, otherwise it would be impossible for the natives to be like this.

"Sure enough, it is only the spirits under my command that I can trust..." Qin Muye sighed, even though his rise must depend on means other than "The Age of Lords", but in fact he is still very weak and still can't get rid of his chosen lord's identity, so the foundation is still in this "Lord Game".

The sky was about to get dark, and the demon blood spirit returned with the other spirits. When he saw that the originally short spirits had turned into ordinary human-sized, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect such a big change.

As a hero unit, he can clearly feel that the magic power and elemental power in the magic spirit monsters have brought them a qualitative change.

But he didn't ask too much, but went to meet Qin Muye and report the harvest.

This harvest is really not low. After all, this is a day and night harvest. Of course, this is relative to the previous harvest, so it seems to be more.

Qin Muye took stock of the things himself. He let the demon blood spirit go to rest and nourish his spirit. The level of the demon blood spirit has also been raised to level 4, which is barely enough. I'm afraid it will be hard time after today, so take a good rest during this time.

And the remaining 10 spirits were also arranged to be transformed into magic spirits, and 700 gold coins were sent out, which made Qin Muye's gold coins count decrease again.

"3 primary treasures, 2 level 1 magic scrolls, 1 architectural blueprint, that's really a lot."

As for basic resources and special resources, Qin Muye didn't take stock of them. The former was only 3,000, and the average was about 1,000, while the latter didn't add up to three digits.

[Standard Shield]

[Level: Primary]

[Attributes]

[Defense +2]

With a shield, Qin Muye couldn't help laughing bitterly when he saw this primary treasure. Why the devil blood spirit gave it to him, he could just equip it himself.

[Apprentice Robe]

[Level: Primary]

[Attributes]

[Knowledge +1]

[Defense +1]

Qin Muye was very happy while looking at this apprentice robe. Finally, there is one that he can wear. He could also wear the standard armor, but the problem is that the armor is too heavy. He couldn't stand it for whole day.

Wearing this, the defense +1 is an unprecedented breakthrough.

[Apprentice Staff]

[Level: Beginner]

[Attributes]

[Strength +2]

"I thought this thing was a fire stick, but I didn't expect it to be a staff?"

2 points of strength is quite good. His strength is still 0 now. After equipping him, the magic damage and magic effect on his body have increased a lot, especially the magic of the magic arrow, which has changed from 10 points to 30 points.

"There are also two magic scrolls, level 1 water magic healing and level 1 air magic attack acceleration."

"It would be much easier if it were a magic book. The magic scroll is a bit difficult to learn, and it's still water-based and air-based..."

"However, one method is perfect for all methods. Let's learn about healing first. I'll learn it tonight. I hope I can make it in time."

If there is a level 1 water magic healing, the survivability of demon blood spirit and magic spirits under his command will be greatly improved.

[Magic Scroll · Healing]

[Magic Level: 1]

[Effect: Restores 10 HP of allied troops]

[Magic Scroll · Attack Acceleration]

[Magic Level: 1]

[Effect: The speed of the selected troops increases by 3 points, the effect lasts for 10 minutes]
