----------------------------------

"Goblin Alchemy" Chapter 1, Section 13.

"The core rules of magic are nothing more than two points. The first is equivalent exchange, and the second is energy conservation. Unless it reaches the height of a legendary creature, the total amount of elemental energy within a certain range will remain unchanged. So you don't have to worry about the second The second law will affect your battle, because there is absolutely more elemental energy floating in this world than you can imagine!"

A 'Water Making Spell' can create ten gallons of pure water, but this pure water is not composed of elemental energy, but composed of free water molecules on the ground in the air, so the level of this spell is very low, even Even a mage apprentice can use it easily. Spells do not come out of nothing, but maintain equivalent exchanges according to quite strict rules, just like a skilled spellcaster can turn a piece of wood into a steak, both in appearance and taste. However, after eating this thing that looks like a steak, it cannot allow the body to absorb the nutrients belonging to the steak. Its actual effect is still equivalent to eating a piece of wood.

It's just that this piece of wood tastes like steak.

This is the second core rule of magic - the law of conservation of energy!

The spell can change the shape, taste, feel, etc. of the wood, but it cannot change its components into the high protein of steak.

If it could be done, it would already be the realm of the gods.

………………

This is what Murphy gained while studying "Goblin Alchemy" during this period.

Without the guidance of a mentor, Murphy's research progress is entirely based on his own preferences and personal opinions. In his opinion, the value of the spell itself has been reduced, because no matter what kind of spell it is, it is composed of 26 runic letters and It is composed of the corresponding magic operation system. Therefore, the spell itself is like the moves in martial arts novels to him, which moves are awesome, which moves are exquisite, etc.

In fact, the spell itself is just that.

And magic power is like internal strength. If you don't have enough internal strength, you can't use those exquisite and awesome moves. All kinds of spells are these moves, and almost all spells of all factions can be classified in this way.

This provides Murphy with a magnificent theoretical outline guide!

The only difference is that the rules of spells are more strict.

After Murphy figured this out, his future advancement path in spells began to become clear. What he wants is not just a variety of moves, but something more powerful and important!

Moves are created by people, and so are these powerful spells.

The fundamental reason for being able to create such powerful spells is that they have strong enough internal power, or magic power.

Of course, when it reaches a certain level, it is not limited to this.

Just like in the later stage of internal power, the two meridians of Ren and Du will be opened up, and the eight meridians and extraordinary meridians will be opened up, and even the final union of heaven and man will be achieved.

Similarly, spells will undergo greater changes in the later stages. It's just that with Murphy's current strength, he is not yet able to peek into that world. If you think of magic as martial arts training, then Murphy's goal is not just to learn those exquisite and awesome moves. His real purpose is to achieve the 'unity of man and nature', that is, to touch the core rules of this world.

As soon as his thoughts changed like this, the whole world began to suddenly become clearer.

After the shackles that restricted the development of many creatures were opened, not only those creatures in the wild began to evolve.

Many of the same intelligent creatures also began to evolve.

There is no doubt that Murphy's thinking is now at the forefront of the road!

Instead of wasting energy on studying many spells and moves, it is better to turn all your energy to studying the essence of spells in this world.

As the lord of Athens, Murphy's own safety was not in danger. Therefore, he is not in a hurry to spend a lot of time studying memory and learning those destructive magics. The core of his entire research is still on the changes in the operation of magic and the composition and structure of the 26 runic letters. His intuition told him that he could find what he wanted if he continued on this path.

………………

Second Age Era, July 1st.

The winter wheat harvest in Athens has been completely completed, and the grain has been collected into the national treasury. After deducting the grain used to support the Centaur tribe, Athens still has more than 12,000 tons of grain left. This does not include the food in the hands of the citizen class, but simply belongs to Murphy's personal food property. If you include the grain in the hands of citizens, Athens' grain output this year will be nearly 18,000 tons!

This harvest can almost be said to be the highest ever in the entire southern plains.

The aboriginal merchants who came to Athens spread the news almost within a few days. Now when the aborigines in other places talk about Athens, they all say with envy and jealousy that it is a blessing from God and a miracle. !

At this time, some aborigines who had freedman status regretted it.

Because there is no doubt that Athens has reached the forefront of the entire world in crop cultivation. If we can harvest such a bumper harvest this year, then next year it won’t be much worse, right?

In such a primitive world, food is the most important property income.

It can be said that after the good harvest, almost all the indigenous people who chose to stay in Athens felt lucky.

for their losses come back immediately after the harvest.

But by the time other remorseful native freedmen arrived, the Athenian land lease had ended. An unprecedented harvest raised Athens' prestige to the extreme, and with it came a large number of free people, and even some serfs under cruel lords fled to Athens with their families. Regarding these, Murphy followed them all, and the military power of Athens has been displayed in front of everyone.

He is not afraid of anything at all now.

A month and a half after issuing the decree, Murphy halted the intake of the Aboriginal population.

Because the total population of 30,000 has been reached.

Before the territory expands further, it is not suitable to absorb more people. After all, issues such as housing, food, security, etc. all need to be arranged in advance. Although the territory has been greatly expanded, most of those lands were deserted during the war. It is not possible to simply send a group of people there and get income next year. Murphy needs to first integrate this group of absorbed indigenous people into Athens itself. To put it simply, he needs to win over the hearts and minds of these indigenous people.

Public support takes time.

These absorbed aborigines were all broken up into families and then distributed to four medium-sized towns under the name of Athens.

Although Athens requires a citizen class to upgrade, those small towns do not have these restrictions, as long as the population reaches the level. However, Murphy did not build anything like military camps in these towns. Instead, they were built based on standard grain production areas. In addition to the temple, there are almost no other buildings in the "Total War" auxiliary system.

Soldiers, Athens alone would be enough to recruit.

The guards of these four medium-sized towns are all based on the absorbed mercenaries.

In the battle against the orcs, although the aboriginal mercenaries did not have much military exploits, they still contributed. After the war, Murphy promoted all the surviving mercenaries to captains, rewarded them with land and food, and then let them The aborigines themselves recruited a group of strong men to serve as militia forces responsible for maintaining security in the town and other issues.

In this way, the fighting power of the Athenian citizen class could be concentrated in the hands of Murphy.

Sending these soldiers who have the potential to become Spartans to maintain law and order, Murphy feels that this is too luxurious!

Time continues to move forward.

General Rosa-Yate also returned to Athens. He was seriously injured while attacking the orcs' rear and could not travel long distances. He has not returned until now.

Likewise, Lady Elizabeth, whose territory has not only been fully restored but even expanded, will visit Athens in a few days.

The biggest beneficiary of this war was not Murphy, but Lady Elizabeth and the guard at Canyon Pass. The latter is now a viscount noble with a territory of nearly 1,500 square kilometers.

………………

Since Mrs. Elizabeth broke into trouble in the Noble Council, her relationship with Murphy can now be said to be well known to everyone!

How can there not be a beautiful love story after the hero's glorious back?

The brilliance of gossip can almost cover any world! Since that incident, almost everyone in the southern plains believed that the relationship between Lady Elizabeth and Murphy was very close, very close, very, very close! In such an era, not only is it not a shameful thing for a nobleman to have a beautiful mistress, on the contrary, it is a very honorable thing!

A noble lord with many mistresses can even greatly improve his reputation!

Because this just proves his own personality charm!

However, the result of this incident is that Mrs. Elizabeth has been unable to come to Athens after the war. This may be partly due to the numerous affairs in the territory, but the more important part of the reason is that neither of them knows how to face each other at the moment. .

This incident also gave Murphy a headache.

Because now everyone thinks that Lady Elizabeth is his lover, even if she is not yet, she will definitely be in the future.

but!

It is impossible for Murphy to marry Lady Elizabeth.

Both of them knew this.

………………

And just when Murphy was having a headache about the upcoming visit of Lady Elizabeth, another thing happened.

The lumberyard was attacked again!

This attack was more serious than any other, because not only a dozen lumberjacks lost their lives, but also the Spartans who were sent by Murphy to guard the lumber camp after the beasts moved abnormally suffered casualties.

Three Spartans were killed by some kind of wild beast!

Things are getting a little serious.
