Chapter 175 The Use of Mana Scroll
Torres was the leader of the caravan heading to the White Tower area of Middle-earth in The Lord of the Rings. At this time, he was riding on a horse and walking in the front.
And just behind him was a caravan consisting of 50 carts, 100 pack horses, 100 caravan guards and 200 hired crossbowmen.
The cart was loaded with all kinds of supplies. At the same time, on the front carriage, as Torres' gaze shifted, there was a little light flashing.
"Mana Scroll." A gleam of light flashed in Torres' eyes.
Especially when he thought about the warm hospitality he received from the White Tower guards in the White Tower area, who not only bought all the goods he brought with him, including the corpses of the abyss demons, but also considerately gave him a large sum of dinars and increased the number of carriages he brought with him from 20 to 50.
And it was filled with all kinds of supplies, of course, all of them were top-quality food, from wheat to bread to sausages, dried meat and salted fish, including cabbage and so on.
Of course, the most important thing is the carriage in the front, which is loaded with pale white scrolls that flash with fluorescence.
"According to the White Tower guards, that was a gift from the White Tower's master, the honorable Lord Saruman, to Shen Mu."
Torres looked at the walls of Dhrim and the towering castle that had appeared in front of him, and rode straight on his horse. "It is said that the 100 mana scrolls are the gift from Lord Saruman to Lord Shen Mu, and he asked me to pass them on. This is really good."
This also shows that Torres is very prestigious now!
After being away for two weeks, Torres looked at Dehrim with a bit of surprise on his face.
"It's worthy of being Lord Shen Mu's town. I've been away for such a short time, but the changes are so great." Torres sighed.
After all, when he left, this was just a small town.
The surrounding city walls are small stone walls that have just been built.
It looks quite simple.
But I didn't expect that after I came back, although the stone walls were still the stone walls and the town was still the town, the tall castle that appeared on the north side of the town was like a giant squatting here.
The densely packed towers, arrow towers, watchtowers, and the patrolling soldiers on the city walls.
All of this made Torres look extremely surprised and shocked.
Moreover, when he and his caravan appeared at the edge of Dehrim and gradually solidified from nothingness, they had already seen the thousands of acres of fields that appeared in the area to the east.
They have all been cultivated and sown, and there are countless lush wheat seedlings on them.
Unconsciously, he felt more relieved in his heart.
It’s like coming here, just like returning home, feeling very comfortable.
"There have been huge changes here." Not only Torres, but even the caravan guards and mercenary crossbowmen behind him who had left with him before had expressions of surprise on their faces.
Looking at the wheat fields and cabbage fields around them, everyone couldn't help but whisper to each other.
Everyone was whispering.
Including the mercenary sentinels and caravan guards who came along with the caravan, all of them were shouting at the caravan members to urge the carriages forward, and they were also impressed by the vitality of the town.
Yes, full of vitality.
They had talked about this strange world called Blue Star before, and knew that it had been invaded by undead monsters.
Therefore, they have all prepared themselves mentally for this world full of undead monsters. Basically, they have been mentally prepared to enter a terrible environment full of brutal battles and a mess.
But I didn't expect that after arriving in this different world, I would see lush fields, towering city walls and castles.
What it brings is a sense of vitality and absolute security.
The contrast in their hearts caught all the caravan members off guard.
Then this unexpected situation turned into a good impression of Dehrim that they have now.
"I heard there is a race called halflings here who can cook delicious food. We must try it when the time comes."
"That's right. I heard those guys say before that the food cooked by the Halflings almost made them bite their tongues off. It's really enviable."
"We will definitely have delicious food. After all, this is the territory of Lord Shen Mu, and Lord Shen Mu is also an extremely generous legendary figure!"
The caravan members were eager to try.
Everyone was in high spirits.
Then, under the leadership of Torres, they walked into the east gate of Dehrim and came to the market trading area.
And in the market trading area, a larger space, many Blue Star humans were moving their tents and leaving for other places under the supervision of middle-level and senior managers.
We plan to restore the market trade area, an area where few people usually come, to its normal regional functions.
The market trading area itself is used for trade.
Normally, it is also a place for caravan members and caravan guards to rest and temporarily stay, and it also serves as a cargo distribution center.
The reason why it is now inhabited by humans from Blue Star is because there was no trade before and these caravans did not come back, so it is just a large piece of open space, which can be used as a tent area for humans from Blue Star to settle down and let them live here temporarily.
But this is only a stopgap measure.
After all, there is not enough living space in Dehrim, so they can only live here.
Now that Torres, his caravan and his caravan members have returned from the distant White Tower region of Middle-earth, this place must of course be returned to its original owner and given to the caravan members to live in and unload goods.
This is also the reason why these humans on Blue Star must leave.
Of course, these male humans had nothing to complain about, because they already knew when they came here to live that this place was a market and trading area, a place reserved for caravans and traders.
If a caravan or traders came, they would have to leave.
Anyway, they can leave during the day and it won't be a problem at all. After all, the entire Dehrim is still very large. They can live in the less used streets within the city walls. It will just be a little crowded.
In fact, if they don't mind, they can live in the fields outside Dehrim, especially in those fields that have been harvested and replanted but have not yet sprouted, where they can set up tents.
Even if it is malt that has just appeared, it doesn’t matter if you set up a tent to press some.
After all, wheat seedlings can be pressed.
Moreover, pressing can help the wheat seedlings resist wind, cold and dampness, which helps to increase grain yields.
The only drawback is that at night, the half-meter-high wall is simply unable to stop most of the undead monsters.
As long as those undead monsters climb over the wall, they will pose an absolute danger to the tents of the humans living on Blue Star who are not protected by city walls.
This also means that the humans on Blue Star cannot live in tents built outside the city walls, and they must return to the city walls of Dehrim after dark.
However, Zhang Caidong is still responsible for the specific arrangements.
After all, he is now responsible for the living and work of all human beings on Blue Star. No matter what it is, he has been given full authority to do it.
As long as it's roughly the same, it's fine.
This is equivalent to being a hands-off boss.
At this time, Shen Mu came to the White Tower in person and watched the caravans enter the market trading area and start unloading the goods from the carriages one by one.
"Notify Manid to bring Torres to see me, and at the same time, transport the mana scroll he brought to this torch tower." Shen Mu gave the order.
"Understood." The Holy Tree Knight next to him immediately bowed his head in response, then saluted, turned around and walked outside.
It came back in no time.
Also returning at the same time were Manid and the caravan leader Torres, plus about 20 strong caravan guards following Torres.
In the hands of these caravan guards were some rather exquisite wooden boxes, and faint rays of light seeped out from the cracks in the boxes.
Especially as the caravan guards came to the library on the second floor carrying wooden boxes, the faint white light appearing from these boxes became even stronger.
It was as if something couldn't be restrained and began to resonate with the building.
In fact, it's not just these wooden boxes.
When the caravan guards came to the library on the second floor carrying wooden boxes, Shen Mu, who was sitting in the main seat, had already discovered that in the library on the second floor of the Torch Tower of the Holy White Council, the mysterious runes that originally existed seemed to be activated by some aura.
There was actually some special power emanating from it, and it was as if it was waking up from a deep sleep.
"Master Shen Mu!"
"Master Shen Mu!"
At this time, Ma Lide and Torres had also come to Shen Mu together, bowed respectfully and saluted him.
Especially Torres, the middle-aged man who was appointed as the leader of the caravan by him, returned to Shen Mu again at this time, and his expression was extremely excited.
He bent down deeply and reported earnestly, "My lord, I have returned from the White Tower this time. I have lived up to your trust and expectations. I handed over all the corpses of the abyss demons to Lord Saruman's men, and exchanged them for a large amount of daily necessities and dinars, as well as the mana scroll, a gift from Lord Saruman."
As he spoke, Torres stretched his hand back.
After the caravan guards behind him greeted Shen Mu respectfully, they placed the boxes in their arms on the floor of the library.
There are 20 large boxes neatly arranged.
"These are 20 large boxes, and there are a total of 200 mana scrolls in them."
Torres said: "There are 10 mana scrolls in each box. Lord Saruman asked me to remind you that each mana scroll can support the burning time of the torch tower of the Holy White Council for 1 hour. In this process, it will dispel evil and let light last forever."
"Well, very good." Shen Mu nodded at this time, and stretched out his hand to signal Torres to straighten up from his bent position.
At the same time, there was some joy in his eyes as he looked at the 20 boxes in front of him.
Because this is the mana scroll he has been looking forward to.
As long as this mana scroll can be placed on the top of the torch tower of the Holy White Council, in the spell array.
It can activate the power of light that the Holy White Council had already injected into the torch tower when it was built, forming light runes, and then forming a magical building that can dispel evil.
But before Shen Mu could speak, behind him, there were 20 believers from the Kingdom of Aidengarde who were standing in a row with James.
At this time, they all widened their eyes and looked at the 20 boxes, with surprise in their eyes.
"The power in these wooden boxes is really amazing. I seem to feel the fluctuations of pure mana."
"That's right, it's a very precise fluctuation of mana."
"God of Light, I never thought that these boxes seemed to contain some very pure mana fluctuations. It seems that the mana has been stored in the boxes."
"And I don't know if you have noticed that these fluctuations of mana seem to have some connection with the magic arrays in this building itself."
"I have also discovered this, but this is a good thing. These fluctuations of magic power are all quite bright forces. I don't feel much evil power in them."
“Perhaps we should focus on studying these forces. These are fluctuations of mana that are completely independent of Aidengard, or even other kingdoms or empires we have known about.”
"If we can thoroughly study the operation of these mana fluctuations and understand the structure of these spells, we should be able to complete our upgrade."
These devout believers of Aidengard all had ecstasy in their eyes.
And the look in his eyes was quite fanatical.
For them, the mana scrolls in these wooden boxes are the purest mana stored inside.
If they can master these magical powers, it means that they can release their spells continuously.
No more worrying about mana consumption.
"Okay, don't look at these mana scrolls like that. These mana scrolls are quite precious consumables."
At this time, Shen Mu had also seen the fanatical looks of these Aidengard believers as they looked at these wooden boxes.
It is obvious that these spellcasters have sensed the fluctuation of magic power and want to conduct some research on it.
However, it was impossible for Shen Mu to hand over all these mana scrolls to these pioneers. After all, these mana rules were the top priority to maintain the effect of his building.
So at this time Shen Mu also told these believers about the effects of the Torch Tower of the Holy White Council, so that they could be mentally prepared.
"Is that so?" The captain of the believers nodded thoughtfully. He looked at the mana scrolls in the wooden boxes and the torch tower of the Holy White Council, which was obviously attracted by the mana fluctuations and began to revive. There was even some shock in his eyes:
"I never thought that the Holy White Council could use the power of light in this way and build a magic circle to guide light into this torch tower. Once it obtains an endless supply of mana, it can amplify the power of light to a range that is large enough to cover this area, completely eliminate evil, and let the power of light cover this area."
"Yes, that's it." Shen Mu did not have time to explain too much to Manide, Torres, and James who was standing behind and watching all this with confused eyes.
He immediately walked to a wooden box, opened the cover of the box, and revealed the scroll inside.
'Om! '
When Shen Mu opened it, a white light began to flicker, as warm as the morning light, and flickering with a soft light.
It is not dazzling, but instead gives people a feeling as if it is a cute and playful white elf.
At the same time, in the torch tower of the Holy White Council, the patterns of magic arrays that appeared on the walls of the library began to flash faint white light as if they were stimulated by something.
It was obvious that the light force that originally existed in this torch tower was attracted by these new light forces, began to revive, and began to desire to incorporate these new light forces back into the torch tower.
As Shen Mu leaned over and looked into the wooden box.
It's just a seemingly simple wooden box, but inside the box there are two rows of five small shelves in total.
On each small shelf was a delicate scroll that was about the thickness of a fist and the length of a forearm, and appeared to be made of sheepskin and fine linen.
The whole body is blue, and it is sky blue, which is very comfortable to look at.
And in the middle, it was rolled up and tied with a silk ribbon covered with mysterious and tiny runes.
And in the rolled-up gap, tiny rays of white light leaked out.
Obviously, the white light that appeared in the entire box was the same white light formed by the tiny traces of magic power released from these scrolls.
"Is this the mana scroll?" Shen Mu was thoughtful at this time, but without any hesitation, he directly signaled the Holy Tree Knight next to him to pick up the box.
Then he turned around and walked towards the stairs next to him.
He needed to verify the effect of the Holy White Council's torch tower after using the mana scroll.
