Survival in Uncharted: I Can Raise Reward Levels

Chapter 236 Get the Manor

"These wizards feel that each of them has a tendency to fish..."

Seeing this, Zhang Yang felt that although the wizards on both sides of the sky kept throwing their spells back and forth, they didn't feel angry, and felt like they were coping with the matter.

"In this case, let me catch some fish too, as long as the person on the opposite side is driven back."

He probably understands this kind of mentality. Everyone is here to help and fight for others, so there is no need to go all out, just show some effect to contain the opponent, and more thoughts should be spent on ensuring his own safety.

After quickly flying to the wizard camp on his side from the rear, Zhang Yang began to learn how to throw spells.

"Lightning Spear!"

"Big Fire Ball Technique!"

"Ice Cone Technique!"

He continuously used silver-level spells one by one, and fired them towards the dark wizards opposite.

The dark wizards on the opposite side are all high-level professionals, and they can handle his attacks logically, but the problem is that there were originally five wizards on both sides of them, but now Zhang Yang joined in, breaking the balance of the battle in an instant.

Moreover, Zhang Yang discovered that the lightning, fireballs, and ice cones he fired seemed to be much more powerful than before. Some of the black wizards on the opposite side looked very embarrassed when receiving or avoiding the attack, and one was even hit by the lightning spear on the spot. The spell of the protective shield exploded, and he almost died directly. In the crisis, the wizard had to retreat quickly, and at the same time refreshed the protective spell for himself.

"It should be the spell strengthening effect of the mage's trousers that has caused the power to become stronger..."

Seeing this, Zhang Yang thought to himself immediately, and at the same time, the rhythm of throwing spells did not slow down, and he still output non-stop.

The retreat of the black wizard quickly led to a chain reaction in the situation. The opposite side lost one combat power in an instant, and Zhang Yang's side was equivalent to two more, and the remaining four people on the opposite side were quickly defeated by Zhang Yang's side. People forced to retreat, and retreated in embarrassment.

As soon as they retreated, the wizards like Zhang Yang had time to add fuel to the battle group that was fighting fiercely below.

For example, throwing a big fireball in the middle of the enemy's charging knights, and throwing a big ice pick behind the buttocks of a high-ranking enemy knight, instantly increased their pressure a lot.

The leader on Zhang Yang's side, the old duke, immediately seized this opportunity and led his high-ranking knights to attack swiftly, beating the people on the opposite side into chaos.

Soon, in order to survive, the people on the opposite side chose to retreat decisively. If they continued to fight, they might not be able to hold on, causing huge casualties.

Seeing that the enemy did not stop after retreating, the old Duke immediately took advantage of the victory and pursued him, leading his army to chase for hundreds of miles.

They chased until dawn, drove the enemy from the outer suburbs of this city back to the next city, and forced the enemy away from that city, and directly completed the recovery.

After recovering two cities in a row, the old duke stopped the army, set up camp, and began to rest.

At this time, in the meeting hall of the newly built base camp, the old prince sat at the head and summarized the results of this battle.

"Everyone, with everyone's joint efforts, our battle just now went very smoothly. We have successfully expelled the evil Varen Legion and recovered two cities."

At this time, the old prince's tone and eyes contained the joy after the victory, and he didn't hide it much.

"At the same time, Mr. Zhang Yang also got rid of that evil sub-dragon knight for us, which established our advantage in combat strength, so we expect to successfully recover the other four cities tomorrow."

The reason why the old duke was happy was not only because he had won the battle and regained the two cities, but also because the enemy had lost important combat power, which fundamentally changed the situation of the battle.

"Mr. Zhang Yang is really good, our dean has a really good vision."

"Yeah, the victory is basically guaranteed to belong to us now."

"Drive out all the Warrens tomorrow!"

……

The high-ranking professionals in the meeting hall immediately began to echo the old duke's speech, and the atmosphere was warm yet somewhat relaxed.

"Mr. Zhang Yang, you have contributed a lot to this battle. According to the rules, I will reward you with a manor after the battle."

Seeing Zhang Yang's indifferent appearance, the old duke took the initiative to speak to him.

"Thank you for your generosity, tomorrow I will fully assist your army to win."

Zhang Yang replied with a faint smile.

At the same time, he also knew that he could still earn a manor by coming to help him.

A manor does not refer to a few houses, but an industry, or a small territory, including all supporting elements such as houses, cultivated land, forest land, pastures and even farmers.

A good manor can generate long-term value as soon as it is acquired. It can be said that it is a hen that lays golden eggs.

Zhang Yang is still very interested in obtaining the manor here. Although he is a lord in the dark world and owns a lot of property, the sky there is always dark and there are monsters everywhere, which is not as good as land value. This more normal world.

Moreover, he has no property in this world yet, and having a manor in his hands is convenient for him to settle down or do something.

After a brief meeting, everyone held a banquet, celebrated, and then went back to rest and prepare for the battle that will soon follow.

About seven hours later, Zhang Yang followed the army towards the third city.

On the way, the old duke got information: the army of the Principality of Warren began to withdraw from the Principality of Tarun, ransacked the occupied cities one by one, and left directly.

"Cowardly and despicable Valenians!"

A high-ranking knight immediately cursed after hearing this.

"It's a good thing,"

The old prince smiled,

"This shows that the people of Valen are afraid and dare not fight us anymore. Our cavalry don't need to continue to be wasted in this war. Losing some property is nothing."

The old duke then led the crowd to speed up, recovering the four lost cities one by one, and then crossed the border to pursue Valen's army for a while, and then returned to the city that stayed at the border, and arranged for a large army to garrison.

The celebration banquet was held soon, and after that, it was time for Zhang Yang and the other five high-ranking wizards to receive rewards.

They are all foreign aid and cannot be promoted in this country, so what they get is material rewards.

In a large hall, the old duke asked twelve knight attendants to bring six boxes, and then opened them one by one, revealing the piles of gold coins inside.

"Wizards of the White Tower, and Mr. Zhang Yang, each of these six boxes contains [-] gold coins. It is a reward we have negotiated. Please accept it."

As soon as the old duke finished speaking, several wizards quickly stepped forward and put one of the boxes into their space equipment.

Gold coins are high-value currencies commonly used in various countries in this world. As wizards, they usually spend a lot of money on researching spells and doing experiments, so they need these gold coins very much.

After Zhang Yang put away his box of gold coins, the old duke asked someone to bring over a large map several meters long, and drew seven small circles on it.

"These seven manors are all my private property, and Mr. Zhang Yang can choose one at will."

The old Duke pointed to the seven small circles drawn on the big map and smiled at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang immediately began to study the seven manors on the map, checking their locations and annotations.

I saw that two of the manors are located in the suburbs of the capital of the Principality of Tarun, covering an area of ​​about [-] hectares. One mainly produces wine and the other mainly grows vegetables. The staffing and facilities are very complete, and they belong to small manors in high-value areas.

Four of them are located in the inner non-capital area of ​​the Principality of Tarun, covering an area of ​​more than 300 hectares, with arable land for wheat production, supporting farmers and mills, and belong to medium-sized manors in medium-value areas.

The remaining two are in the corner area of ​​Tarun Principality, one covers an area of ​​more than 500 hectares, and the other covers an area of ​​more than 700 hectares.

The manor of more than 500 hectares mainly operates pastures, raises a lot of cattle, and is well-staffed, but the location is very remote and the transportation is inconvenient.

The manor of more than 700 hectares has both pastures and arable land. The location is not only remote, but also close to a mountain range. Due to the frequent attacks of beasts in this mountain range, the manor has been in a semi-abandoned state, and only a small number of people are stationed there.

"Which manor should I choose? The small manors in the outskirts of the capital should be the most valuable, with complete facilities and excellent location... The medium-sized manors are more moderate, but not bad... The two large ones are mainly The area advantage, the value should be the lowest..."

Zhang Yang felt a little tangled.

"I'm not short of gold coins, so I don't really need a manor that can make money... It's unlikely that I will live here all the time... There is a high probability that I will use the manor for something... From this point of view, a place that needs to be hidden...The area It's better to be bigger...then choose the biggest one..."

Zhang Yang thought for a moment, then replied:

"I want the largest of this manor."

After hearing Zhang Yang's answer, the old Duke's eyes suddenly flashed a hint of surprise, but the smile on his face remained unchanged.

"Hehe, it seems that Mr. Zhang Yang prefers a secluded place, well, I will transfer this manor under the mountain to your name now."

The attendant next to the old duke heard that at this time, he handed some old-looking parchment contracts and a quill pen to the old duke.

After taking it, the old duke glanced at the contract, quickly signed his name on one of them, and handed it to Zhang Yang.

After Zhang Yang took the parchment contracts, he looked at them first, and confirmed that they were land deeds, farmers and herdsmen's transfer documents, residential transfer documents and other documents, and not other unknown contracts, and then he signed his name. Completed the transfer of the estate.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang Yang, from now on, this manor under the mountain will belong to you."

After completing the transfer of the manor, Zhang Yang chatted with the old duke and several high-ranking wizards, and soon everyone went back to their respective homes and went about their own affairs.

The old duke still needs to lead his subordinates to preside over the post-war pension work in major cities here. Some high-ranking wizards are planning to take a stroll in the Duchy of Tarun, and some are going back to the White Tower Wizarding Academy directly. Zhang Yang directly He flew into the sky and went to his new large manor: Shanxia Manor.

His new manor under the mountain is far away from the current location, at the foot of the mountains more than 800 kilometers to the north, but Zhang Yang's flying speed is as high as Mach [-], and it only takes more than ten minutes to get there.

And because the location is remote and less populated, as soon as he arrived in that area, he found the main building of his manor: a small stone castle that looked a little rough.

On one side of the castle is a small river, which is connected to a piece of cultivated land and a row of farmhouses, and the other places are basically pastures, but there are not many cattle and sheep on this pasture, and it looks like weeds are overgrown.

"What a hideout, and that's all I need."

Zhang Yang looked at it and was very satisfied immediately. Even if he did something in such an inconspicuous place, it would not be easy to expose it.

Soon, he flew to the gate of the small castle, opened the door, and revealed to a guard knight captain in his 60s that he was the new owner here.

The old knight obviously couldn't believe the news, but he had to believe it after reading the contract Zhang Yang presented, because it had the king's signature and coat of arms on it.

This kind of thing can't be forged casually, once it is found out that it is fake, it will be a capital offense.

After the captain of the guarding knights was settled, Zhang Yang asked him to call all the people in the manor over for a meeting.

Then he discovered that there are currently less than a hundred farmers in the manor, a dozen or so herdsmen, and a total of ten guard knights including the old captain. The population is very sparse.

But this situation was also expected by him, and he was not surprised when he saw it.

"From today onwards, I am the owner of the manor below the mountain. Your life will continue as before, and you will still do what you should do."

After Zhang Yang summoned all the people, he just announced his sovereignty and did not make any major changes, because it was unnecessary. He just needed this piece of land and did not need to rely on these people to support or make money.

Afterwards, Zhang Yang moved his space mark in this world to the small castle of this manor, and then flew to the nearby mountains to check the situation.

After some investigation, he found that there were indeed some ferocious beasts in the mountains, such as those that looked like tigers and bears, and even found some magical beasts that could release innate spells, but the number of these ferocious beasts was relatively small, and most of them The fighting power of the wild beast is only at the level of ordinary wild wolves.

"Not bad, this mountain range will be the source of ingredients for Xiaolong in the future."

Zhang Yang inspected it at high altitude, and found that this place is very suitable for raising little dragons. Not only is it rich in meat, but the danger is not too high, especially when the little dragon grows bigger, he can be the overlord here.

The most important point is that there are no disgusting monsters in this place, so I don't have to worry about the little dragon eating up his stomach.

"Not only Xiaolong, this place is also suitable for other people in the dark world to come and recuperate. The sun is bright, the air is fresh, and there are few people to disturb it. It can be called a paradise."

Zhang Yang quickly decided that his first cross-boundary teleportation array would connect here with the Blackstone territory.

Because not only the natural conditions here are very superior, but also the world adjacent to the dark world, it is relatively easy to establish a cross-boundary teleportation array, and it is an excellent test site for him to improve his ability to control the laws of space.
