Chapter 206. Start the castle upgrade

The raw materials required to make sugar are relatively harsh, and the current "Drehem" can only make original mixed sugar cubes with honey and dates, and there is no technology to make more advanced sugars.

For example, maltose can be produced from wheat, and no one knows how to make this sugar.

As for white sugar and brown sugar, it needs sugar beet, sugar cane and other sugar-rich plants to extract, of course, according to the research of the Salander people, the refined processing of dates may be able to obtain brown sugar, a crude sugar, but it has not been thoroughly studied, so brown sugar has not appeared.

Sugar is obviously more difficult to obtain than salt, which is rich in natural resources in the desert, but everything is developing at a high speed, and it may not be long before sugar-rich dates are successfully studied and Kant's commercial exchanges with the world are able to add new types of goods.

For example, sugarcane, sugar beets, figs, dates, which are cash crops with high sugar content, and can even be used to make dried fruits and produce fructose, are planted in the desert, and due to the temperature difference effect, the sugar content inside the fruit can be increased.

Kant had already made a decision in his mind.

In the future, when the village of "Aaron" in the Sanwaya Mountains develops, all the basic wheat fields and flax fields will be transferred, so that "Drehem" will only be left with cash crops that can produce sugar.

When the time comes, the Sentry Oasis will be more than just a military castle.

It is also a center of salt and sugar production that can supply the entire human race.

Having mastered these two condiments, which were comparable to luxury goods, a large number of large silver coins would flow into Kant's pocket, and their profiteering was no less than that of the spice trade.

Because it's all read-ready for Kant.

The saline land deep in the desert, the date palms and honey of the Salander people.

It doesn't cost much!

If possible, Kant would even invest more in aquaculture, such as artificial beehives, all of which would be placed in the village of "Aaron", and with the abundant plant resources of the Sanwaya Mountains and the blooming flowers all over the mountains, it would become a production area for large quantities of honey, and in combination with dates, batches of date sugar would be produced in sugar workshops.

Even in the spice trade, there may be an opportunity to try to get involved in this industry.

After all, although the Sanwaya Mountains are close to the Narun Desert, the natural environment tends to be humid and sultry, and there are cold and cold currents blowing from time to time, and the climate is very strange, but it also creates a climate like a subtropical mountain.

This is exactly the environment where spices such as pepper, cloves, cardamom kernels, nutmeg, ginger and others are easy to cultivate.

It's a pity that Kant didn't have spice seeds.

According to the knowledge in the academy, all these spices are purchased from the open sea.

The entire human kingdoms, as well as the distant dwarven kingdoms, do not have spices, so this kind of thing is extremely precious, so it can be equivalent to large silver coins, and bags of silver coins can be exchanged for small bags of spices.

The luxuries that only the great nobles could afford to eat, even far exceeded the fine white salt in the degree of luxury!

Tour the entire fortress.

Kant had a faint smile on his face.

He was satisfied.

Especially after observing my fortress, my future planning is much clearer and more intuitive.

Kant was in an excellent mood.

He has finally gotten rid of the status of the little lord who was once weak and tired, and even in the next upgrade, he will have a new and strong castle, like the most thorough nail, firmly rooted in the sentry oasis, making him the true king of this land, indestructible!

"Fatis." Kant nodded in praise: "During my absence, you did a very good job. ”

"Thank you for the compliment." Fatis bowed his head, a smile of acknowledgment between his eyebrows.

"This is the credit you deserve." Kant said with a smile.

Although Fatis's level of internal affairs was not comparable to that of military command, the education of the children of the great noble families and the knowledge brought by traveling to the continent were not comparable to ordinary people.

Manid and James, for example, are slightly worse than Fatis.

This is the gap that education brings.

If you look at the original game, the gap is not big due to the presence of players.

In reality, it is undoubtedly exposed.

Among these hero-level NPCs, the one who can be compared to Fatis may be Alleyne, who is from the Kingdom of Vekia and is also from a noble family.

However, there are differences between the two.

Because of his education, Alleyne is more like a general who leads the troops to the front.

Bloody battles on the battlefield to boost the morale of the troops.

Not so with Fatis.

He was the commander-in-chief who led his troops into battle.

Although he can also charge ahead, what can reflect his military quality is the position of commander, playing his role in tactics and strategy, not charging forward as a general.

Kant had a very deep understanding of the original.

When he came to this world, he also upheld a truth.

No one is the strongest or weakest, no one is useful or useless, as long as the position is not suitable, the position they hold is incorrect, and they do not play what they are best at!

Return to the Consulate.

The peasant women immediately brought hot food.

Much more hearty than in the village of "Aaron", there is even the freshest charcoal-grilled lamb chops.

This is the best tonic after a long journey.

"By the way, I suddenly noticed a strange phenomenon."

Kant seemed to think of something when he saw the golden and crispy charcoal-grilled lamb chops.

Putting down the knife and fork in his hand, he turned to Fatis and asked, "It's the end of the month, but why haven't I seen the herds of desert antelopes start to migrate?" If you remember correctly, these desert antelopes in the Sanwaya Mountains will migrate in large numbers towards the depths of the Narun Desert at the end of the month, and will only return when they have eaten enough salt in the saline land. ”

"Yes, it does." Fatis nodded slightly, and replied, "I have also discovered this recently, and the number of those desert antelopes is becoming smaller and smaller than it was at the beginning. ”

"Now there are fewer desert antelope herds?" Kant frowned and asked, "This is unusual. ”

"Did you find anything unusual in the Sanwaya Mountains?" Fatis asked.

"Nope." Kant frowned.

Fatis opened his mouth and hesitated: "Actually, since the end of last month, the number of these desert antelopes has begun to decrease, either there is a problem in the depths of the Narun Desert, or there is a problem in the Sanwaya Mountain Range. ”

"Is that so?" Kant nodded, and his analysis made sense.

Fatis also shrugged his shoulders slightly, and said in a relaxed tone: "Lord Kant, maybe it was the arrival of those expeditionary forces last time that scared those desert antelopes and made these little guys dare not come over in a short time. ”

"Perhaps." Kant nodded.

He always felt that it was not that simple.

However, the current "Drehem" does not need to rely on desert antelope as their main food.

It's just a way to provide air-dried meat.

And when Kant established "Aaron" in the Sanwaya Mountains, he hunted a large number of rich wild animals and made air-dried meat, and did not need to rely on desert antelope herds as a source of meat.

The current antelope herd only serves as a source of red meat for "drehem", allowing people to eat fresh meat.

So the impact is not significant.

All the food prepared is served.

Since it was early in the morning, Fatis accompanied Kant to the meal.

But the two talk more often.

After being away for such a long time, Kant needs to listen carefully to Fatis's reports, especially the construction work and changes of "Drehem" after leaving, which are all matters to consider when deciding his next upgrade.

End of the meal in the middle of the conversation.

Kant nodded slightly: "Very good." ”

Fatis gave a detailed account of the situation and the current situation.

Thanks to its self-enclosed development and lack of communication with the outside world, the changes in "Drehem" are not large, and the changes are all within the controllable range, which will not have much impact on the next upgrade.

"Keep on guard."

Kant wiped the corners of his mouth with a linen towel and wiped the oil stains away.

Then he stood up and walked towards the second floor, and at the same time continued to instruct Fatis: "I'll go back to my room and rest for a while, and the fortress will continue to be managed by you, and if there is any abnormal situation in the future, tell everyone that there is no need to panic." ”

"Understood." Fatis also stood up and nodded respectfully.

Kant is talking about the anomalies caused by escalation.

At present, the "Drehem" fortress is ready, all the buildings have been built, the soldiers are neat and elite, and there is no problem at all to upgrade to the castle level.

Go back to your room.

The windows were open, the air was dry, and there was no smell.

Didn't come back for a while and the room was very clean.

Obviously, his room was cleaned every day, and looking at the smooth tabletop, not to mention the grains of sand, not even a layer of dust, you can see how conscientious the peasant women who were in charge of cleaning the fortress were.

Close the door.

Kant lay on a bed that was changed every day.

A dialog box pops up in your eyes.

His mind was already connected to the system, and he said silently in his mind: "System, upgrade." ”

【Ding... System Prompt]

[Currently, you have the upgrade option once, please determine the upgrade target.] 】

【"Dreham" Fortress / "Aaron" Village】

The system will prompt you quickly.

Kant said in a deep voice: "Upgrade the "Drehem" fortress! ”

There is no need to hesitate at all.

"Drehem" is his main reliance now, if the trade route to the coast of Mannheim can be opened, then this "Drehem" will play a greater role!

And with Kant's affirmation, the data flow surged out in an instant.

The upgrade card that had been in my mind had been reduced to pieces.

But in this "Drehem" chamber, the data flow has completely enveloped it, and in the process of expanding, irreversible changes are beginning to occur.

The flow of data quickly dispersed.

The Consulate Hall, which is made of stone throughout, no longer has the shape of a military tower.

It's the real castle body!
