Chapter 94: Dhrim's Upgrade
Shen Mu simply put on a velvet robe and walked from the room to the balcony on the west side of the castle.
There are 10 mercenary crossbowmen stationed here.
Seeing Shen Mu coming over, he immediately stood up straight, reached out his hand to his chest and saluted respectfully, "Good morning, Lord Shen Mu."
"Well, good morning." Shen Mu nodded, but looked at the sky outside which had become clear.
The sky was still a deep blue with few clouds. At first glance, it looked no different from before, but there was a kind of tremor in my heart.
It's like being a human being on Blue Star and feeling the same trembling as the world of Blue Star.
Of course, this trembling was not so obvious to Shen Mu.
Although he is indeed a human from Blue Star.
However, as a time traveler who also possesses the Mount and Blade system and is protected by the rules of Mount and Blade, it is difficult for him to empathize with the world of Blue Star at this time.
Moreover, even other humans on Blue Star, because of the precarious situation at this time, have abandoned the rules of Blue Star without hesitation and plunged into the rules of the spiritual world, the only one that can resist the rules of the undead.
"Good morning, Mr. Shen Mu." Just then, Liu Na appeared in a black robe.
I originally wanted to come to the balcony and stretch my body.
But I didn't expect Shen Mu to arrive early.
So Liu Na came over obediently to greet Shen Mu, and complimented him: "Under your leadership, this time the black tide was easily passed, which was really unexpected."
"Well, thank you for the compliment." Shen Mu smiled and accepted the compliment.
This was all his credit.
"How are the seeds of the Holy White Oak?" Shen Mu asked.
"Ah, that's right. The seed of the Holy White Oak has always been happy, but during the Black Tide, it couldn't sense the sunlight, so it couldn't grow."
Liu Na quickly replied, with a hint of pride in her tone: "But starting today, I think the seeds of the Holy White Oak will begin to sprout!"
"Germination?" Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly: "How long will it take for seedlings to grow?"
Among the rewards of the Holy White Oak Seeds, only when they reach the seedling level can some of the Holy White Oak's abilities be brought into play.
Only when it grows to more than 1 meter will additional rewards from the Holy Tree Knights appear.
Therefore, Shen Mu was very concerned about the growth of the holy white oak seeds.
"Well, according to my estimation, it will take about seven days for the tree to germinate, and then about half a month for it to break through the soil and become a seedling of the Holy White Oak tree!"
There was joy on Liu Na's little face.
"It will germinate in a week and sprout in half a month." Shen Mu nodded gently: "Not bad."
"Mr. Shen Mu, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of it."
Liu Na smiled sweetly: "After all, when I was cultivating this magical plant, the natural pan-consciousness in my body recognized me very much and expressed its blessing to me, which accelerated my growth as a druid."
This is also the reason why Liu Na is quite concerned about the holy white oak seed.
As you cultivate this seed.
Liu Na's lv2 druid level seems to be loosening.
Perhaps when the seeds sprout and grow into seedlings, Liu Na, the little druid, will be able to gain more recognition from nature's consciousness and reach a higher level.
"That's good." Shen Mu chuckled and encouraged, "That's why I let you be solely responsible for this Holy White Oak Seed. I think you are a careful girl, so you must be a pretty good druid."
"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Shen Mu." Faced with this compliment, Liu Na's little face turned red.
It looked red as if he was drunk.
"Well, that's it." Shen Mu didn't continue chatting with her. After talking a few more words about the druids' amplifying power of nature, he turned and went downstairs.
"Lord Shen Mu!" The Lake Rat Gang saboteur who was on guard at the entrance of the spiral staircase saluted him.
"Yeah." Shen Mu nodded in return.
It was not until he arrived at the castle hall and sat down on his lord's bench that the Swadian sergeants who served as guards and the Swadian light infantry who served as servants came over and saluted and greeted him seriously.
"Well, if there are no outsiders here, there will be no need for so many extra etiquettes." Shen Mu frowned and finally cancelled all these useless formalities.
Anyway, they are all loyal Mount and Blade soldiers, so there is no point in going around in circles.
"Master Shen Mu, today's breakfast is fried eggs, boiled cabbage, grilled sausage and air-dried meat, sliced white bread, a large glass of honey milk, and a small portion of honey cream pumpkin pie."
As soon as Shen Mu sat down, the light infantry who had been prepared long ago brought a tray.
It was filled with steaming hot food.
It looks like a combination of meat and vegetables.
When Shen Mu smelled it, his stomach, which had been hungry all night, began to growl and he subconsciously began to drool.
This was the breakfast that the halflings had prepared specially for him.
Breakfast is cooked using all the existing food ingredients, including those from Blue Star and those transported from Mount and Blade.
It was carefully made, and Shen Mu picked up the knife and fork and began to eat it in big mouthfuls.
"good to eat."
Even Shen Mu, who was used to eating sausages and dried meat, as well as white bread, cabbage and pumpkin, couldn't help but nod in admiration.
One had to admit that before the fantasy crystal wall system collapsed, the food carefully cooked by the halflings who were gourmets, even the most garbage ingredients, were incredibly delicious after being made by their skillful hands.
As for the food for the Mounted and Bladed soldiers, it was all given to them because of the villagers from Vikia.
The halflings are only responsible for guidance, and the specific work is still done by the Wikia villagers.
After all, there are 970 people now.
With so much food, even if 12 halflings worked for a whole day, they would probably die of exhaustion before they could finish it.
"Okay, I'm full, let me clean up." At this time, Shen Mu had just finished eating the food that was served.
He burped with great satisfaction.
Then, the Swadian light infantry, who had been standing a few steps away, ready to serve at any time, came over and picked up the tray and the leftovers.
Another Swadian light infantryman came over with a rag and wiped the table clean.
The movements are quite skillful.
However, Shen Mu did not care about these. Instead, he leaned back in his chair, gently closed his eyes, and communicated with the system with his mind.
"Enter the Magic Ball Map Modifier!"
'Om! '
Fluctuations from the system appear instantly.
It directly changed Shen Mu's original first-person perspective to a third-person perspective.
Moreover, he came directly above the entire village, allowing him to overlook the entire village of "Dehrim" from a height of tens of meters, while also looking around the village.
"Huh? What's going on?!" Shen Mu's face was slightly stunned.
The scene of tall buildings that should have been standing around his village had now all disappeared. Within a radius of thousands of meters, only his castle was left, sitting on a 15-meter-high pier, standing out from the crowd!
And the surrounding land was covered with black scabs, just like black patches formed after lava solidified.
Shen Mu raised his eyebrows, and then he remembered that when the abyss crack appeared before, the power from the abyss demon directly destroyed the surrounding terrain completely.
It also includes residential buildings and commercial buildings that were originally around the apartments.
They were all smashed into pieces by the rain of lava, then collapsed with a loud bang, and finally turned completely into magma and were completely swallowed up by the abyss.
The visual impact of that scene was extremely shocking, and Shen Mu still felt a lingering fear when he thought about it now.
"But it just so happens that the 500 acres of land I acquired can replace all the land that has been crusted over by the lava!"
Shen Mu's thoughts directly communicated with the system.
The dialog box reappeared before my eyes.
[Ding! Since the special rule you obtained is of the venue type, the town of Zenda, which is under the protection of the Kingdom of Rieldian, is willing to exchange land with you. ]
[The land of Chanda Town was originally a fertile wheat field, where farmers cultivated and merchants traveled. But due to rampant pirates and sea robbers, the land here has been abandoned for a long time.]
[But now, the mayor has handed this once fertile but barren land over to you. I hope you can bring it back to life. ]
Then, as the dialog box appeared, a stream of white data flowed out from between Shen Mu's brows.
'Om! '
These countless data streams entangled with each other and quickly formed a huge fishing net in mid-air, covering the 500 acres of land around the village.
It also emitted waves of special rules, and then fell completely.
The entire land was covered in white light.
'Om! '
The fluctuation of rules oscillates again.
This time.
The replacement has already begun.
In Shen Mu's eyes, the large areas of black, scabbed land around the village, which had been eroded by the abyss, were slowly disappearing.
But at the same time as they disappeared, large tracts of normal fields, which had been divided into acres, began to appear below.
There are also complete ditches, irrigation channels, drainage channels, and even paths for people to walk on.
Waited for a few more breaths.
These 500 acres of fertile land from the neutral town of Zenda were replaced with 300 acres in the east and 200 acres in the south.
And these fields have been reclaimed, but there are still a lot of weeds growing on the abandoned land.
There are also some unpicked cabbages, pumpkins, peas and carrots that are still tenaciously surviving among the weeds.
It is obvious that the growers were forced to abandon these vegetable fields for many reasons.
They can only be left to become desolate.
"Zenda?"
At this time, Shen Mu was in mid-air, looking at the name of the town with some nostalgia.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Zenda is an early version, an even earlier version of the Mount & Blade Warband world, a neutral town in the Mount & Blade world.
The people living there are all mercenaries. They practice village self-governance and do not accept rule from any country.
However, due to rampant pirates and the invasion of the Nord Kingdom.
Resulting in the destruction of Zenda Town.
Therefore, this neutral town has never appeared again in the timeline starting from the Warband World.
"Then the Kingdom of Swadion became the Kingdom of Swadia, and the timeline of the warband began."
Shen Mu thought about it and felt a little nostalgic.
But now is not the time to reminisce, there is more work waiting for him.
"Begin, upgrade Dehrim!"
Shen Mu's thoughts communicated with the system again.
Immediately, the system dialog box refreshed on Shen Mu's retina.
[Ding! Due to the rules you absorbed this time, your village "Dherim" is allowed to be upgraded and a new round of building lists will be unlocked. ]
[Please select the next upgrade direction of your "Dherim"——]
[Town (civil life)/Castle: (military)]
【Please make your choice. 】
[Tip: If you choose a town of livelihood, you can upgrade it to a castle in the subsequent village upgrade process to increase the strength of the military.]
[Tip: If you choose a military castle, you can upgrade it to a town in the subsequent village upgrade process to increase the prosperity of people's livelihood.]
"Not bad. There are two more tips at the end, saying that the village can also be used to develop the military or people's livelihood."
Shen Mu curled his lips.
But now, he already has his own idea: "Upgrade "Dherim" to a town!"
Towns provided tremendous help to development in the early stages.
Moreover, in the middle and late stages, the various taxes and population generated can continuously provide various kinds of help and support to the lords.
It is only because of the excessive emphasis on the development of people's livelihood that the military cannot keep up.
When recruiting high-level or ace troops, you must have a castle.
It is a bit like the civilian soldiers who produce large quantities of troops in towns, but their eliteness is limited, and their combat skills and equipment levels are relatively ordinary.
The castle, on the other hand, produces extremely elite troops, with highly skilled fighters and luxurious equipment.
On the battlefield, they are all considered to be the noble soldiers who have the final say.
Compare it with the Kingdom of Swadia.
The best a town can do is train soldiers in its barracks to level three, the level of Swadian light infantry, and no higher can be upgraded.
Only when you reach the castle and have a special instructor can you be upgraded to the fourth-level Swadian infantry and the fifth-level Swadian sergeant.
This is even more true with regard to cavalry.
Whether it is the Swadian heavy cavalry or the Swadian knights, they must be trained in the castle.
This is a hard condition.
Although it was not reflected in the original game, Shen Mu still added the distinction between noble and civilian soldiers when integrating the MOD and DLC.
Although for players, as long as they have enough experience points, they can upgrade according to their own ideas.
But this is just my own training.
Once you own a town and a castle, there are some things that players can no longer manage themselves.
Then you need to let the town or castle run itself.
During operation.
This limitation will occur.
Unless the player can slowly upgrade those low-level troops one by one.
Otherwise you would be forced to choose towns or castles based on these restrictions.
"As for me, I really don't need to make a choice now. After all, I am the only one who leads the troops to level up."
Shen Mu was in mid-air, his face looking a little sad.
[Ding! You have confirmed that the upgrade direction of your "Derherim" is - Town (People's Livelihood). ]
【Upgrade Started...】
'Om! '
Another white light began to shine, and a warm feeling emerged between Shen Mu's brows.
The data stream started pouring out again.
But this time, the data flow was not as intense as when it replaced the 500 acres of land.
On the contrary, it is quite gentle.
It simply floated down from mid-air and landed directly in Dehrim, which still looked like a village, and evolved into a light shield.
There were countless data streams entangled with each other inside, and then the phantom of a building appeared in the light shield.
Wait for the white light to dissipate.
An aristocratic mansion of about 600 square meters, in typical Swadian aristocratic style, appeared there.
The whole building is built with stone and wood, is about 7 meters high and has two floors. It looks like a huge villa, majestic and solemn. The decoration is not only luxurious and grand, but also reveals a positive atmosphere of martial arts.
Outside the building, there is a 2-meter-high wall, as well as stables, granaries, storage warehouses and armories built against the inside of the wall.
Now, this noble mansion is located in the very center of the central residential area.
[Ding! Your "Derherim" has been successfully upgraded to a town. ]
[At present, the noble mansion in your town should be completed. This building is the core building of the town. When the enemy invades and breaks through the city wall, this is the last fortress where the defenders hold on to the last moment and try to delay the enemy. ]
[Town buildings have been unlocked——]
【List of civil buildings. 】
——【List of municipal buildings...】
——【List of agricultural buildings...】
——【List of commercial buildings…】
——[List of handicraft buildings...]
[List of military buildings…]
——[List of city wall buildings...]
——【Tower Building List...】
——【List of military camp buildings...】
Then, a densely packed list of various things appeared in front of Shen Mu.
"and many more?"
This made Shen Mu seem to have discovered something: "Now these building lists mean that I still need to spend dinars and time to slowly build this town!?"
But think about it, it's true.
It seems that he was not satisfied with the fact that the original game only allowed a few buildings, so he added a lot of building experience from other games, such as Fortress, Total War, Age of Empires, Warcraft, etc.
"Does this mean that you shot yourself in the foot?"
Shen Mu reached out and pinched his eyebrows.
This is a bit speechless.
What made Shen Mu even more speechless was the town introduction that popped up in the Mount and Blade system.

[Evaluation]: Your name is known throughout the town. You are loved and loyal to the soldiers and civilians like a king. People fear and respect you.
"Well, it's called a town, but actually it's just a village without much changes."
Shen Mu looked at the content and nodded resignedly.
There's no way, this is the fact.
The town that was upgraded from the village this time was not like the last time where a village template appeared directly.
A large number of the buildings inside are already existing in the village and are still in operation.
Now, the newly upgraded town, of course, also has those buildings.
It can still be used.
However, all the buildings in the town require Shen Mu to spend dinars to build them.
"But if we are talking about construction, the city wall needs to be built first."
Shen Mu's thoughts moved slightly at this moment, and the dialog box appeared in front of him again.
[Military-City Wall Building List]:-
[Single-layer primary wall: 2 dinars. Introduction: A primary wall 6 meters high and 3 meters wide, built with stones. It has a certain defensive effect, but it is difficult to resist siege weapons. Time required: 60 days. ]
-
[Intermediate stone wall: 5 dinars. Introduction: An intermediate wall 8 meters high and 4 meters wide, built with stone blocks on the outside and filled with rammed earth on the inside. It has a good defensive effect and can defend against most siege weapons. Required: Primary wall/80 days. ]
-
[Large Advanced City Wall: 10 dinars. Introduction: A large advanced city wall 12 meters high and 7 meters wide, built with a large number of stone blocks on the outside and filled with a very compact rammed earth layer on the inside. Generally, few conventional siege weapons can destroy this kind of city wall. Required: Intermediate City Wall/120 days. ]
[Tip: You are currently in the Magic Ball Map Editor's permissions, so you can directly choose to build successfully. ]
Looking at the dialog box in front of him, Shen Mu had basically no idea.
It’s good that the construction is successful, after all, it still costs money.
The problem is that I can only build a single-layer primary city wall now.
After all, Shen Mu only has 2 dinars in savings now, and building a single-layer primary city wall would require dinars.
What can I do?
I can only grit my teeth and fix it!
This city wall is a very important thing and it absolutely cannot be missing!
"Alas, sin!"
It was all my fault that I had to integrate these building MODs in the first place, so I can't blame anyone else.
Shen Mu sighed, and his mind communicated with the system: "First erase the traces of these Blue Star buildings and tear them all down!"
'Om! '
As Shen Mu's idea was implemented by the Mount and Blade system, a strong wave instantly spread to the reinforced concrete of the entire Dehrim during the period when the Magic Ball map modifier was still in effect.
That is the pier below the castle, the foundation of the entire village, and the city walls on all sides.
Everything is enveloped by the fluctuation of the Mount and Blade rules!
'Om! '
Then in an instant, it turned into countless pieces of powder.
"Build a single-layer primary city wall!" Then Shen Mu's thoughts communicated with the system.
The sound of metal coins colliding was heard.
Then, right in front of Shen Mu, a circle of slender wall 6 meters high and 3 meters wide appeared in the place where the concrete wall had been reduced to ashes, and quickly wrapped around the entire town.
Compared to the magnificent 10-meter-high and 5-meter-wide huge concrete wall.
This is an ancient city wall made entirely of stone, and it looks extremely shabby!
However, anyone who sees this wall will understand.
The current seemingly shabby city wall has actually completely gotten rid of the fragile rules of the Blue Star. It is no longer easily destroyed and corroded by undead monsters and undead rules.
If there are more demon troops emerging from the abyss rifts and continuing to invade.
So this time, if he directly chopped the reinforced concrete wall like last time, it would be as easy as cutting yuba and tofu dregs, and he would probably get a bloody head.
This 3-meter-thick city wall with the rules of Mount and Blade is no longer made of tofu dregs and bean curd sticks.
But it is real hard stone.
"Next, it's the castle."
Shen Mu's face was solemn at this time. He looked at the main building of the castle floating in the air below, and his thoughts moved slightly.
Then, three types of spiritual marks of buildings appeared in his mind.
'Om! '
As the power of Mount and Blade rules manifested on the Magic Ball Modifier, it was mastered by Shen Mu again.
Two stone towers and a complete small castle appeared before his eyes.
And the dialog box that appears immediately afterwards.
[King Harlaus of the Kingdom of Swadia is eagerly awaiting your reply as to whether you are willing to replace this dilapidated small castle with the Rhodok Castle. 】
"Confirm the change." Shen Mu did not hesitate and clicked OK directly.
Then, the new dialog box refreshes quickly.
[Ding! Because you chose to change the castle, you gained +1 legendary reputation in the Kingdom of Swadia.]
[Ding! King Harlaus thanks you for your efforts and gives you 2 Siege Ballistae.]
[Ding! The news that you chose to exchange the castle that originally belonged to Rhodok with King Harlaus of the Kingdom of Swadia has spread throughout the Kingdom of Rhodok. Many Rhodok people are secretly communicating with each other, expressing contempt for King Harlaus's behavior and understanding of your exchange.]
[Ding! In view of your +4 legendary reputation (full Mount and Blade bonus) in the Rhodok Kingdom, the Rhodok Kingdom decided to understand your behavior and proactively dispatched 50 Rhodok skilled crossbowmen to serve you in your journey in the other world. ]
'Om! '
As the contents of the dialog box emerged, another stream of data poured out.
This time, the direction it was heading towards was the dilapidated small castle that had been floating in the field of vision like a sticker.
After the white light formed by these data streams covers the entire castle.
'Om! '
The fluctuation of rules oscillates again.
The white light dispersed.
When it reappeared, the small castle had been replaced by a complete castle made entirely of stone, with a main castle building, prison, stables, city walls, square towers, gate towers, watchtowers and other military buildings!
Overall, it really looks like the castle in the original game in the world of Mount & Blade Warband.
Small, compact, yet strong and safe!
A circle of 6-meter-high and 3-meter-wide stone wall has surrounded all the above buildings for protection.
And the walls of these castles are also connected to the walls of the town.
However, at the connection point, two two-story square towers about 9 meters high blocked the direct connection between the castle and the town walls.
In order to connect the walls of the castle and the town, one has to go through the small door on the square tower.
If the soldiers stationed on the square tower closed this small door, the city walls of the two areas would be able to regain their independence and no longer be connected to each other.
This prevents the walls of the castle area from being damaged after the town area's walls are lost.
The gates in and out of the castle were built inside the town.
The castle gate has four layers of protection, including thick wooden doors, iron fences, drawbridges, and a 5-meter-wide and 3-meter-deep moat.
The town gates were built to take trade and people's livelihood into consideration, so they only had thick wooden doors, drawbridges, and previously dug trenches.
"But this castle gate looks lonely. It should be equipped with two stone towers."
When Shen Mu thought of this, his mind moved slightly.
The two square towers obtained from the spiritual world, 8 meters high and 4 meters wide, also made of stone slabs, appeared on both sides of the castle gate.
It was as if there were two guards, one on the left and one on the right, protecting the castle gate.
"Not bad." Shen Mu nodded with satisfaction.
But what attracted Shen Mu's attention more was the real trump card in the castle area——
The main building of the castle.
It is 13 meters high and has 3 floors in total.
From the base to the 6-meter-high wall, it is all built with huge stone slabs. There are no windows except for a few ventilation holes. Then there is the castle gate, which is only 2 meters high and 1 meter wide, made of the thickest wood, wrapped with iron sheets and iron bars, and reinforced with iron nails.
About 8 meters on the second floor, there are some windows that are slightly higher than the castle walls, so that the shooting range can be directly aimed at the walls.
If any enemy attacks the city wall or breaks into the city wall, the archers stationed on the second floor can directly shoot at these enemies, killing them and delaying their attack speed.
However, at a height of 10 meters on the third floor, enclosed balconies protruding from the walls were built on all four sides of the castle.
In addition, many of the enclosed balconies protruding from the walls have been opened up, and the shooting range can directly cover the city walls and the windows outside the walls.
Including the top of the castle, there is about 500 square meters of space, which can also accommodate many people.
This castle looks like a super porcupine covered with thorns. It can no longer be simply described as a hedgehog!
"However, this is not the limit of defense." Shen Mu's mouth curled up slightly.
I looked at the main building of the castle, which was 8 meters high and had only two floors, like a large tower.
The first spirit world castle building obtained by Shen Mu from the spirit world scene.
There was a hint of sadness in Shen Mu's eyes.
Before, there was only the main building of the castle, and it looked pretty good.
But compared with the current Rhodok Castle, it has better and more complete defensive effects.
This castle main building is obviously not the case.
“It will be just right to convert it into a military camp in the castle.” Shen Mu pursed his lips and directly placed the main building of this spiritual world castle in the southwest corner of the castle wall.
After all, Shen Mu had lived in the main building of this castle. The space on the first floor was very large, and there was also a lot of space on the second floor.
If it is slightly modified, there will be no problem in accommodating 300 soldiers.
Moreover, some wooden racks or war sheds can still be built on the top of the main building of the castle. If there is an enemy attack, archers can be stationed there for defense.
"The main building of the castle has been arranged in the southwest corner, so there should also be a building in the southeast corner."
There was a flash of white light in Shen Mu's eyes.
He had already made his decision.
"The Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council is deployed in the southeast corner of the castle area!"
With Shen Mu's thought communication system.
'Om! '
In an instant, a building-related card that was originally in Shen Mu’s mind materialized into reality.
It is a tall and slender building with three floors stacked up and a total height of 3 meters.
The lowest floor is a warehouse covering an area of 200 square meters, 5 meters high, which stores a large amount of firewood.
The second floor is a 180-square-meter, 3-meter-high structure similar to a library.
Above the third floor, it is 4 meters wide and 5 meters high, with a spiral staircase on the inside that leads directly to a room at the top where a huge brazier, like a torch, is placed.
"Expand!"
The system that Shen Mu communicated directly with determined to unfold the building of the special rule type that he had extracted.
'Om! '
The fluctuation of rules comes again.
Then, at the southeast corner of the castle area’s wall, this white torch tower, built entirely of marble and with a sacred color, appeared here.
"Perfect." Shen Mu looked at the building he had already built and nodded with satisfaction.
At the same time, you can overlook the entire "Dherim", although the area of the town is about the same as that of a village.
But the main building area of the castle originally covered only half an acre.
However, it suddenly increased to an area of about 10 acres, which is larger than the urban area!
Of course, this is because the town has not been built yet, and Lord Shen Mu needs to spend dinars and time to slowly build it starting from residential housing, and eventually develop the entire town into a behemoth with a population of tens of thousands.
"We still need dinars." Shen Mu glanced at the town's building interface again.
There are many densely packed buildings inside.
Including bakery workshops, wine workshops, linen workshops, velvet workshops, etc., all these economic factories opened in the game are available.
And there is no restriction like in the game that each town can only build one workshop.
As long as there are dinars, there are raw materials.
It’s up to you how much you want to build.
So in the final analysis, it is still a question of whether there is enough dinar.
"That's it, it seems there's nothing else to modify the map." Shen Mu looked at the lush and weed-filled fields around him. The 500 acres of abandoned fields from Zenda Town could be taken care of at any time and turned into fertile farmland again.
Look at the castle area that is armed to the teeth, and the town area that is ready to develop at any time.
He also nodded with satisfaction.
"Next, there is an additional village to be built."
Shen Mu's mind moved slightly, and he tried to communicate with the system again.
But the dialog box that appeared in front of him made him slightly stunned.
[Ding! Currently, your village cannot be built near a town. Please create a sufficient distance and choose another suitable location to build the village. ]
[Tip: When building a village, the cultural background of the most people in the village will be detected to generate the village cultural background. Therefore, please pay attention to the cultural background of the people in the expansion range when arranging the construction of the village. ]
[Tip: After the village is generated, the village characteristics and the types of recruited soldiers produced will refer to the village cultural background. ]
"Huh?" Shen Mu was a little surprised when he looked at the dialog box in front of him.
This was something he hadn't expected.
“It seems that this is a small easter egg that is generated by self-adjustment after integrating all MODs and DLCs to increase the fun of the game.”
However, there was also a hint of understanding in Shen Mu's eyes.
After all, the Mount and Blade system also evolved from an AI program he developed.
You can scan and calculate by yourself.
After adding so many Mount & Blade MODs and DLCs, it's impossible for the game not to make some progress.
"But this requires distance, which is a bit interesting."
Shen Mu tried the distance of thousands of meters around him.
Can't even build a village.
"Could it be that we need a really long distance to build a village?" Shen Mu felt a little toothache.
The modification permissions of this magic ball modifier are only effective within the town, and no more than a few hundred meters.
If he goes further outside, there will be an air wall to hinder him.
It seemed that he didn't want Shen Mu to leave too far away from the certain area centered on his body.
"Forget it, remove the magic ball's authority!"
There was no way out at this time. Shen Mu looked at the remaining half of the Magic Ball map modification permissions, and a look of pain appeared in his eyes.
But he still used the direct thought communication system and returned to his first-person perspective in an instant.
Slowly he opened his eyes.
"Well."
Shen Mu pursed his lips and looked at the castle hall in front of him, which looked normal.
It was still the spacious hall of more than 5 meters but less than 6 meters, and it was still guarded by the Lake Rat Gang vandals and the Swadian light infantry serving as attendants.
But when Shen Mu turned his head and looked out the window, the sky was no longer blue.
Instead, it was dim, a shadow blocked by something.
Look again carefully.
It turned out to be a stone wall!
