375: Chapter 375: Moving and Plant Spells 375: Chapter 375: Moving and Plant Spells Not long after the first snow had passed, Zhao Guang’s temporary residence was finally completed.
Although this place was built as a fortress, Zhao Guang incorporated many modern concepts.
Being knowledgeable in civil engineering and decoration, Zhao Guang personally made certain modifications to the design plans.
The interior decoration was unlike that of this world.
With these decorations, the place looked very pleasing to the eye, without any of the dreary feel typical of other castles.
The windows were very large, and skylights had also been installed.
Even if for defense, the front windows were fewer and narrow, but the rear windows were different.
This design only highlighted the frontal defensive power.
If taken down by an enemy, attacking from the back would, in fact, be easier.
Truthfully, Zhao Guang did not believe anyone would co to attack him.
He had a very good relationship with neighboring Fla Fortress, which was currently buying glass from him extensively.
It could be said that both were in a honeymoon phase, unlikely to conflict any ti soon.
The developnt of his own territory was progressing swiftly; even if conflicts arose later, he would have already left this place by then.
Moreover, Zhao Guang was absolutely confident he could significantly enhance the strength of his territory in a short ti.
As long as he was willing to invest resources, and find loopholes in the rules, Zhao Guang, whose thinking differed completely from other nobles, remained confident.
By that ti, it would be the people around him who would fear his attacks.
“Master, this place is really great.
Are we going to be living here from now on?”
Zhao Guang smiled, “We’ll stay here for a while.
Once developnt picks up, we’ll move to the center of the territory.”
This center was not the original center of the territory.
Zhao Guang had big ambitions; having enclosed this area, why not occupy and develop it?
The king had given him full rights to develop, so he did not have to worry about making wedding clothes for others, no matter how large the territory.
Jeana bounced around, “So the house we move to later will definitely be bigger and better than this one, won’t it?”
“Of course, it can’t get worse, can it?” Zhao Guang said with a smile.
Jeana hopped around barefoot on the ground.
Although it was winter, the floor was very warm because Zhao Guang had built underfloor heating here, which was not water-circulated but ward by underground air ducts circulating hot air.
It was relatively wasteful and hard to control, but that didn’t matter—after all, he was the lord.
As a lord, couldn’t he enjoy so benefits?
That was the advantage of having power and position.
The only issue was that the floor was a bit dirty, a result of the subpar building materials here.
One day, he would hire more servants to clean every part of the house daily, ensuring minimal dust on the floors.
“Master, why don’t we get more firearms?
With enough firearms, our defensive power would be greatly increased,”
Seeing the various defensive asures in the castle, Xi Fei finally raised this matter.
Zhao Guang held up two fingers, “Two reasons, the first is external pressure.
Once these things appear on a large scale, they will definitely attract other nobles’ scrutiny.
What then, do we give them away or sell them?”
He still had to engage in trade with other nobles, and he didn’t want to invite restrictions from all the nobles because of this.
This was entirely possible because nobles have absolute authority within their territories.
That ans that even very bizarre and whimsical orders would be carried out by the territory.
Xi Fei thought about it and indeed, it made sense.
Currently, their power wasn’t strong enough to safeguard these things.
A few wouldn’t matter much, but if there were many, it wouldn’t be a minor issue.
By then, not just the nobles, but even the royal family would likely pressure them.
Zhao Guang retracted one finger, “Another reason is that these things require an Anti-Magic Domain to use.”
“Creating an Anti-Magic Domain requires to personally engrave Anti-Magic Runes on Magic Crystal Stones, which takes a lot of ti.
Let’s not even talk about the ti; just the intrinsic value of the Magic Crystal Stones alone far exceeds that of firearms.”
“I understand.
It’s because they’re too valuable; if really brought out, they’d be stolen,”
Jeana jumped high, now learning to raise her hand while speaking.
“Exactly, that’s the issue.
If the value is too high, it would attract many enemies, making it not worth the risk.”
Actually, there was another reason, which was that this world ultimately focused on developing personal strength.
Only through face-to-face combat could powerful warriors be cultivated, as not everyone had the sa resources as he did.
This thod was the most traditional, but it also offered the best value for money.
Otherwise, if everyone just wielded firearms, they would be too easy to counter.
Just Zhao Guang alone could think of many ways to counter them.
Finally reaching the furthest inside, Xi Fei suddenly noticed a room with a lot of green.
There were many pots and boxes filled with soil, and the temperature of the room was strictly controlled, colder than other rooms.
Various plants were growing in these soils.
“What are these?
This seems to be the place you had transford a few days ago, Master,”
Xi Fei had heard this command before but hadn’t paid much attention at the ti; now, it seed peculiar because these didn’t resemble ordinary plants, and there were many types, utterly unorganized.
Zhao Guang smiled, “These are essences.
All these seeds were specially selected by for cultivation.”
Previously at the Silver Tower, Zhao Guang had found magical spells related to plant systems, supposedly left by the Druids.
Basic Level Magic such as the Sprouting Technique and the Fertilization Technique, and the interdiate magic, Directional Cultivation, seeing these, Zhao Guang felt as though he had opened the doors to a new world.
With these spells, what agricultural expert could compare to him?
He was like a primary school student in comparison.
He could easily cultivate plants.
In one year, his experints amounted to what they could do in several decades or more.
For this, Zhao Guang set aside the Soil Solidification Technique and also had no ti to study controlling the Undead.
Recently, he had focused solely on this, and the recent improvents to the Sprouting Technique and the Fertilization Technique had been completed.
However, the interdiate magic of Directional Cultivation was still lacking; once the improvent was completed, his cultivation ability would be greatly improved.
Cultivating so special plants would not only benefit the developnt of the territory, but would also be the sa on Earth.
Zhao Guang was puzzled why, in a world with such powerful spells, nobody was making good use of them.
