Chapter 116 Starlight Meditation Method
With the more than 3,000 slaves purchased this time, the population of Harland Territory is close to 25,000.
There is enough food, and the territory has not been destroyed by orcs.
The fertility rate has been very good in recent years, a little more than 5% every year.
But Richard still has many projects to build, and the population of 25,000 is still far from Richard's goal.
After arriving at Sophia Castle, Richard let the slaves rest for three days.
Then he had a haircut, took a bath, changed into new clothes, and arranged these slaves to build a castle near the iron mine.
Sophia Castle is now basically completed.
The construction volume of this castle is smaller than that of William Castle.
With the addition of the new 3,000 slaves, the construction army of the territory has exceeded 5,000 people, and the strong laborers who build castles and roads account for almost half.
After the completion of Tieshan Castle, the construction task of the territory will gradually become easier.
Tieshan Castle is smaller in scale, and the construction volume is less than half of Sophia Castle.
It should be completed before winter this year.
After arranging the labor, Richard returned to Sophia Castle. When the curtains of the bedroom were drawn at night, he quietly chanted the opening spell in standard Mandarin and input his mental power into the middle of the Starlight Bottle.
As the spell was finished, a blue light burst out from the Starlight Bottle. Richard's mental power touched the Starlight Bottle, and like a blind man touching an elephant, he continuously input his mental power to wrap the entire Starlight Bottle.
Suddenly, he felt a suction force coming from the Starlight Bottle, trying to suck his mental power into a special space.
This suction force was not particularly strong, and Richard could cut it off at any time.
Although Richard did not understand this situation, at this critical moment, he did not hesitate and immediately released the control, allowing his mental power to be sucked into the Starlight Bottle.
In an instant, Richard seemed to have come to a unique space.
The volume of the space is not particularly small, 15 meters long, 6 meters wide, and 5 meters high. It is a very regular rectangular block. The volume is 450 cubic meters.
Such a large space equipment is relatively rare in the entire Dawn Continent.
At least in the Grant Kingdom, Richard had never heard of such space equipment.
Four hundred and fifty cubic meters of space is enough to carry four hundred tons of food.
Four hundred tons of food can feed a whole army for ten days, and if it is a little more economical, it can feed for half a month.
Such space equipment is of great help to an army.
It can extend the time of an army's external operations by more than ten days.
Ten days is enough to change the situation and determine the outcome of a battle.
Even for the leading forces such as the Holy Glorious Empire and the Church of the Goddess of Dawn, space equipment of this size is considered a heavyweight treasure.
In the entire Dawn Continent, there are probably no more than ten magical equipment of such a large space.
There are very few things in the space, only a letter, a few books, and a necklace.
The letter was written in Chinese characters, and Richard picked it up and took a look.
It was discovered that the owner of the Starlight Bottle was named Shao Gongyuan, who was born in 1920 and suddenly traveled to this world at the age of eighteen.
When Shao Gongyuan came to the Dawn Continent, it was still the era of wizard rule, and it was unknown how many years it was from now.
It is now the Age of Kingship, May 3257 of the Dawn Calendar.
Before the Age of Kingship, there was the Age of Seven Gods, and before the Age of Seven Gods was the Age of Wizards.
Richard has also read some books that record anecdotes from the Age of Wizards. It is rumored that wizards are natives of this world, and the Seven Gods are foreign gods.
The Seven Gods are all gods from the multiverse. After coming to this world, they fought a plane war with wizards for many years.
This battle lasted for thousands of years, and this period of time is the Age of Seven Gods.
As for the Age of Wizards before the Age of Seven Gods, no one knows how many years it lasted.
Of course, these rumors are recorded in some cult Bibles.
The Harland family happened to have a collection of the Bible of the Church of Slaughter, and Richard knew a little about it.
After Shao Gongyuan came to this world, he carefully hid himself. He had a very good talent for magic, and he advanced to become a legendary wizard in less than fifty years.
After he advanced to the legend, he found that his crossing was not accidental.
It turned out that the cosmic walls of the two universes collided, resulting in an energy channel between the two universes at a special time node.
This energy channel cannot pass through material power, but the power of the soul can pass through.
Shao Gongyuan carefully searched for companions from Earth and established a wizard organization, the Star Alliance.
This secret organization will only accept companions from Earth.
Although the Star Alliance is very secretive and does not develop any power, there are also strong people who are good at prophecy in the wizard organization of the Dawn Plane.
In particular, the fate wizard Morto, whose strength is comparable to that of gods in multiple planes, actually found clues from the long river of fate and began to capture members of the Star Alliance, wanting to use the souls of the Star Alliance members for experiments and enter the alien universe.
According to what Shao Gongyuan wrote in the letter, after the Star Alliance was exposed, there were only seventeen members in total.
Among them, only three were from China, and most of them died at the hands of ancient wizards, and only two or three people escaped from the Dawn Plane.
Shao Gongyuan speculated that the number of earthlings who crossed over that year may be no less than tens of thousands.
Some of these people had ordinary experiences and eventually died of old age and illness, and some showed abnormalities and were experimented by wizards.
Shao Gongyuan only investigated an area for ten years before he found a traveler from China and saw the words carved in Chinese characters by this person.
According to probability, there are probably many earth travelers who have entered the Dawn Continent.
However, only seventeen of them have truly learned witchcraft and joined Xinghui, and less than half have entered the legend.
The Starlight Bottle is a legendary magic equipment made by Shao Gongyuan himself. He also pioneered the opening spell in this magic equipment.
After Xinghui was exposed, a powerful wizard personally captured Shao Gongyuan.
Although Shao Gongyuan was very powerful, he was unlucky and died in the hands of this powerful wizard. The Starlight Bottle also became a collection of the wizard.
Unfortunately, the wizard did not understand Chinese and could not open the Starlight Bottle. He was reluctant to destroy this precious legendary equipment violently.
After many years, this thing happened to fall into the hands of the old wizard.
The old wizard studied for decades but still found nothing. In the end, it was bought by Richard.
By chance, the Starlight Bottle fell into the hands of a stranger.
Among the books left by Shao Gongyuan, one of them records the complete Starlight Meditation Method.
This Starlight Meditation Method has a total of 17 levels, 3 levels for apprentices, 9 levels for professionals, and 4 levels for legends. The last level was even deduced by Shao Gongyuan to the level of gods. After completing this step, it can bring about a complete transformation of life.
Master the power of rules and gain eternal life, as if you were a god.
