Chapter 80 Tonight, the 10th Intelligence Update
The next day, when Lear woke up, the residents of the territory were still talking about last night's performance.
Almost everyone was indignant about the final outcome, as if there was a fire burning in their hearts, making them feel very unhappy.
Even the passers-by were discussed.
An immersive performance accompanied by the singing of swamp sirens really opened their eyes.
It turns out that there are such interesting, novel and unforgettable things in this world.
The performance on the stage was so close to them, yet it seemed like another world.
It's amazing.
And Lord Bain said that this was a drama that the Lord himself taught to the swamp banshees, and even the human nobles could not enjoy it.
Whenever I think of this, I feel a little proud and contempt for human nobles.
The sense of identification with the City of Witness will also quietly increase.
When Lear sees the Swamp Siren outside, who has already started rehearsing.
I was surprised to find that the level of the Swamp Banshee, which had been upgraded to level 6 yesterday, had been upgraded again.
Level 7! !
In just one night, it soared from level 3 to level 7!!
It's an exaggeration.
Although the lower the level, the easier it is to upgrade, the doubling increase is still somewhat astonishing.
His previous level increase was fueled by the soul of the merman god.
But looking at the state of the crowd, I'm afraid it won't take long for them to be promoted.
When the swamp witch saw Lear, she immediately came forward excitedly.
"Good day, Master"
"Can we still perform on stage tonight?"
The great success of the first performance yesterday has made them a little addicted.
Lear waved his hand.
"Put it on hold. Good shows don't have to happen every day."
"Polish it first and make up for the shortcomings of this performance."
"Also, you can rehearse new programs."
Said meaningfully.
"How could the Wei Lu City Drama Troupe only have one play?"
The Swamp Witch immediately became excited.
"Master, please reward me!"
In their view, drama is Lear's reward to them.
After last night, almost all the residents looked at them with kindness and excitement.
Because of the incident of seducing the swamp people, many people in the territory kept their distance from them.
Not as close as we are now.
Moreover, the benefits brought by the kindness of the crowd are also obvious, making it easier for them to absorb the emotions emitted by the other party.
Once you resist them, even if you swallow up your emotions, it will take a lot of time to digest.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve such a great improvement in such a short time.
Lear said slowly.
"The play is called—Hamlet."
As one of Shakespeare's four great tragedies, this play is enduring.
But Hamlet's story and background are more complex and grand than Romeo and Juliet, and Lear can no longer remember the details.
I can only give a rough outline of it, and it can be simply summarized in five words - The Prince's Revenge.
The old king was murdered by his younger brother Claudius, who usurped the throne and then married the old king's wife as queen.
After Prince Hamlet learned the reason for all this, he sought revenge on his uncle.
This involves betrayal, vendetta, ethics, throne, power...almost all of them are eye-catching plots.
The meaning behind it is also very profound.
This plot seems quite explosive to modern people, and it is definitely the most novel thing in this world.
After narrating the outline of the story, Lear could only leave the plot setting, dialogue, stage layout and so on to the swamp lady to design herself.
These banshees, who rely on illusions to lure their enemies, have enough knowledge and are serious professionals in making up stories.
This is also an exercise, and in the future they will have to weave more stories that fit this world.
To create on your own, you must have a sufficient foundation.
The swamp banshee has a strong ability to comprehend, and having already tasted the sweetness of drama, she is very enthusiastic in learning.
After grasping the key threads of the story, I began to enthusiastically add flesh and blood to this huge story.
The story of a prince taking revenge to regain the throne has always been an enduring legend.
The performance will not be much worse than Romeo and Juliet.
Although this matter was settled, Li Er was still somewhat worried about the worship of the evil god.
He immediately summoned a squadron of wetland lizardmen and sent them to the sacrificial site discovered yesterday to continue the search.
The most suitable life forms for exploration are actually flying life forms. However, although the level of the swamp wasp is not low, its intelligence is not very high and it can only accept some simple commands.
If you move too far away from yourself, the detection effect will be greatly reduced.
It's hard to tell what's a demon worshipper and what's ordinary swamp life.
It can only be left to the wetland lizardmen to explore.
After receiving the order, the army immediately set out to the south.
Now that we have enough manpower, some things can be done with ease.
Before this, he could only lead his troops to investigate on his own.
Li Er, feeling a little better, thought of the swift lizard he had trained yesterday.
Turn around and go forward immediately.
When approaching the feeding area, there was some surprise in his eyes.
The small lizard that was the size of a palm yesterday has now grown to half a meter tall.
The hind limbs gradually became stronger and stronger, supporting the entire body, while the development of the forelimbs went to the other extreme - the claws became sharp and strong, but gradually became smaller.
Start walking only on hind legs.
The teeth in the mouth became as sharp as razors, making it very easy to tear flesh and bones.
Most of the twenty corpses had been eaten, with only two or three broken ones left piled on the ground.
The lizard ignored everything else, opened its mouth wide, and started biting the corpse.
He easily tore off a large piece of flesh, tilted his head back and shook it a few times to adjust the position, and then swallowed it directly into his stomach.
The blood stained the corners of his mouth and head, which made people feel creepy.
Haggs, who was guarding nearby, saw Lear coming and immediately stepped forward excitedly and saluted with his hands on his chest.
"Good day, Lord"
Lear nodded.
"How is the training going? Are there any other problems?"
"Everything is going well. We just need to provide enough blood and flesh. In three days at most, we can transform into a swift lizard."
Haggs' eyes were full of excitement.
It feels so wonderful to be able to personally train legendary soldiers among the Lizardmen.
Li Er looked at the broken corpses on the ground, his eyes moved slightly.
"How many bodies do you think will be needed?" "At least thirty to fifty. We can't estimate the exact number right now."
Talking about this, Haggs had a headache.
As the Lizardmen's most advanced military force, it goes without saying that they are extremely powerful, but they are also very difficult to train.
Flesh and blood are both top-quality food, and food is a precious strategic resource in the wilderness.
Not only does it require blood and flesh to grow, but it also needs food to sustain it in the future.
Even a powerful Lizardman tribe would find it difficult to support too many cold-blooded cavalry.
Lear felt the trouble of happiness.
He turned his head and looked in the direction of the three-tailed pig.
If this is the case, we can only cultivate a part of them first. It will take some time for the three-tailed pig to grow.
But as long as the pig farm can get on the right track, coupled with the colorful moss that grows at an incredibly fast rate, these will not be a problem.
"In the next few days, the spoils from hunting will be supplied to you first."
After saying this, he immediately asked someone to summon the two-headed ogre chieftain.
He looked at the level 11 hero who had not yet completed his transformation with burning eyes.
"Et, lead two hundred wetland lizardmen to hunt in the east. Keep the range within 20 kilometers and don't stray too far from the territory."
"Retreat immediately if you encounter danger."
"The territory needs a lot of flesh and blood!"
The other party was not vague and immediately took the order and left.
He is still in the process of transformation, which is expected to take about ten days to complete.
Blood and killing can give him more insights and make him stronger!
Ogres have never been cowards, the battlefield is where they belong!
After Et left, Li'er felt better again.
The feeling of having enough people is comfortable.
No need to be stingy anymore.
At this moment, Bain came excitedly to report the good news.
"Sir, the farmland in the south has been basically developed and can be cultivated!"
Lear's eyes lit up.
↓Five kilometers to the south is the farmland area, which has been under intensive cultivation in recent days.
A thousand acres is not a small number.
If all the land is reclaimed, it can provide consumption for five to six thousand people.
After obtaining the Horn of Plenty, this statistic can be greatly improved.
"Immediately arrange for people to cultivate the swamp wheat."
"We need adequate food security!"
After successively taking in the Delsa people and the wetland lizardmen, the population has exceeded the thousand mark.
The demand for food has increased significantly.
The Noah rice in my hand, which could originally last for half a year, is now completely unsustainable.
This pressure is fierce.
Food is the basis of everything. If we don’t have enough food, how can we maintain our territory?
If Lear had not obtained the Horn of Plenty, he would have become bald.
Only now did I understand why it was so difficult to develop a terrifying big city like Loran City in the wilderness.
Wandering, unstable environment, and food restrictions make it very difficult to develop.
"Yes!!"
Less than a minute after the Swampman Hero arrived, he left excitedly.
Lear couldn't help but smile when he saw this.
Suddenly I thought of the information I got when I entered the swamp——
Under the territory occupied by the Rotten Centaurs, there grows a 1-star magical plant - Blue Heart Mud Fruit.
The value of this information is as high as 3 stars!
Blue Heart Mud Fruit is a special magical food like Noya's Rice. After a full meal of Noya's Rice, the fruit will not need any food for five days.
One meal of blue heart mud fruit can last a whole day.
Although the effect is discounted, it is still much stronger than ordinary swamp wheat.
Perhaps it's time to consider taking action against those rotten centaurs.
A population of more than 500 can also provide him with enough flesh and blood.
Whether it is to train cold-blooded cavalry or to feed flesh-and-blood butchers, this income from flesh and blood is very much needed at this moment.
After calming down, he didn't stay here for long and continued to patrol the territory.
I saw three-tailed piglets, dragon blood red fish, and pitcher plants.
The growth is very gratifying.
With the Horn of Plenty, you can clearly feel the changes every day.
Especially the three-tailed pig, its already huge body began to grow again.
The upper limit of weight increase is 30%, which is definitely not a joke.
As fat as a pig.
After walking around, we came to the farmland area. I felt very happy watching people busy sowing swamp wheat seeds.
Swamp wheat does not require the step of seedling cultivation and transplanting. Just bury the seeds in the mud and it won’t take long for them to break out of the shells and grow into wheat seedlings.
The original growth cycle of swamp wheat is one harvest every three months, and it can be planted four times a year.
Now with the Horn of Plenty, the growth cycle has been shortened to two months!
Six crops can be grown in one year!
What an exaggeration!
Who can grow six crops of food in a year?
Moreover, there is still ample land in the swamp, so if the population increases in the future, we can continue to reclaim it.
The development potential is unlimited.
Lear was somewhat addicted to the feeling of watching the territory getting better day by day.
The situation inside was very good, but the wetland lizardmen sent out to investigate the evil god worshipers failed to bring back good news.
By evening, the army returned, still without gaining anything.
Hundreds of wetland lizardmen searched the area thoroughly but could not find any followers of the evil god.
Instead, they discovered a sacrificial area that was even older.
This inevitably affected Lear's mood a little.
The sense of crisis is growing stronger.
Fortunately, the two-headed ogre chief brought back hundreds of corpses of swamp monsters, which gave him some relief.
No matter what, strengthening yourself is the eternal truth.
As long as the Flesh Slayer can wake up in time, there is nothing to worry about.
As night fell, the crowd would occasionally look towards the stage in front of the City Hall.
Even though I knew there would be no drama performance tonight, I still didn't give up.
Lear was not in a hurry to fall asleep, but waited silently for time to pass.
Today is August 8th. The intelligence system will be refreshed at early morning. This time is different from previous times as this is the 19th intelligence.
Every 10 intelligence updates, a piece of intelligence with 4 stars or above will be refreshed.
I've been looking forward to today since early on.
Finally, Lear, who felt that time was passing particularly slowly, waited until the early morning.
The moment the world went from the 19th to the 20th, a familiar prompt from the intelligence system appeared in my mind.
[The intelligence system has cooled down and can be refreshed. Do you want to refresh? ]
[Note: This is the 10th intelligence refresh, and a piece of intelligence with 4 stars or above will be refreshed.]
Lear's emotions suddenly surged, he took a deep breath, and resolutely said to himself "refresh".
The next moment, information began to emerge, and the first piece of information made him excited.
[1. 25 kilometers northwest, there is a high-quality iron ore buried underground, and nearby live cave dwellers who are good at mining ore. (2 stars)]
It was 2-star intelligence at the beginning? ! !
