Lord: Starting from the Pit-Dwelling Courtyard

Chapter 168 Earth Rock Tower

The next morning, Ron got up early and began building the tower.

It is now called the Earth Rock Tower.

When Matic got up for his morning exercise, he saw the Earth Tower rising higher and higher.

Totti remarked dismissively, "Why is this lord here so early!"

"That's why his territory keeps growing, while we can only become stray dogs."

Totti was immediately displeased.

After Ron finished building one Earth Rock Tower, he took a break and had breakfast. At this rate, he could build five Earth Rock Towers a day.

Two seats in the morning, two seats in the afternoon, and one seat before bed.

Old Hall approached with a grave expression: "Young Master, something has happened in the main city. Devon is dead."

Ron looked over, puzzled. "What's going on?"

Old Hall said, "An assassin broke into the cell last night, and the strangest thing is that Devon's body was completely drained of blood."

Ron asked, "How does Frederick explain this?"

Ron placed Frederick in the main city; his residence wasn't far from Pit One, and the prison cells were right next door.

Pit building.

Despite having a Sky Knight present, Devon was still silently killed.

Does this mean the other side also has the same ability to kill me?

Don't say Ron was flustered; in fact, Frederick, the Sky Knight, was extremely nervous as well.

After listening in silence for a long time, Ron stuffed the last piece of bread into his mouth and drank the water in his cup in one gulp.

"Don't worry, they won't dare to touch us. Just leave it to me for now, I'll handle it."

Hearing Ron's confident words, Old Hall felt a slight sense of relief for some reason.

Since the young master already had a plan, he naturally wasn't worried.

Old Hall quickly relayed Ron's orders back to the territory, and the somewhat noisy No. 1 pit courtyard soon returned to calm. Although Frederick was afraid, he was on high alert, ready for any possible further attacks.

The assassin lurking in the shadows watched as Ashwood Territory returned to calm so quickly, a hint of disappointment flashing in his cold eyes.

The assassin retreated silently into the shadows, like a wisp of smoke blown away by the wind, a thin bone tube hanging from his waist.

That was the tool used to draw Qian Dewen's blood; dark red blood droplets still clung to the tube. As he retreated to the base of the outer wall of the pit courtyard, his body merged into the shadows and disappeared completely.

Although he could kill Devon without anyone noticing, he didn't have the strength to confront a Sky Knight head-on, and even if he tried to assassinate a Sky Knight, his chances of success wouldn't exceed thirty percent.

It's just that Frederick, that coward, was the one who was frightened.

Although Ron appeared nonchalant on the surface, he didn't stop working and devoted himself to building the Earth Rock Tower.

The entire town of Harvest was at Ron's service, so he didn't need to worry about materials at all; once he finished one, he headed to the next planned location.

By 8 p.m., the fifth Earth Rock Tower was completed. Ron wiped away his sweat, looked at his attribute panel, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

No matter what kind of monsters or demons they are, they are all futile in the face of absolute power.

The former Declan was the best reference point.

Despite being a Sky Knight, Declan was powerless against the stone spear wielded by his Mage Hand, which now weighed over 500 pounds more.

Therefore, Ron is now frantically building Earth Rock Towers. Each Earth Rock Tower increases magic power by fifty points, and considering the construction speed, the increase in magic power is quite considerable.

Tang En jogged over and prepared a wet towel for Ron.

"My lord, the bathwater and midnight snack are ready."

Ron took the towel, wiped his face, and then headed towards the town hall.

Compared to the main city, Fengshou Town has more abundant water resources, and even dug a small lake to store water, but in order to ensure the cleanliness of the water source.

The territory maintains very strict control over the small lake, prohibiting anyone from entering the water to avoid polluting the water source, and forbidding any source of pollution within a hundred meters of it.

Therefore, although the entire Fengshou Town has much more water resources than the main city, it still does not have facilities such as bathhouses.

Ron wanted to take a bath, and it was Tang who had a large wooden tub of water filled.

Fortunately, the weather is hot now, and just using cool water can make people feel refreshed, reducing a lot of unnecessary work.

Ron leaned against the barrel, closing his eyes to rest.

The bathroom is surrounded by Da Vinci, Thun, and Matic—it's fair to say that the entire Harvest Town's elite forces are here.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the bathroom door.

"Young Master, is that me?"

Ron asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with Old Hall?"

"News has just come from Tieling Town: Town Chief Amy has broken through to Earth Knight, and Will has also become a peak knight. They both request an audience with you tomorrow."

Upon hearing the news about Old Hall, Ron rarely smiled.

"Can!"

Old Hall immediately stepped back.

Ron slowly emerged from the barrel and headed toward the bedroom. On the way, he remembered Longbottom's lost foot.

Amy will be the best GG word and brand for breaking through bottlenecks.

Nalongbottom is the best role model for those disabled knights.

If I could manufacture a functional half-leg prosthesis, I might be able to change the future of these disabled riders.

Unfortunately, he had no experience in this area and could only try to make a foot prosthesis based on the limited knowledge he had acquired in his previous life. As for the upper part, which was to be fitted into the leg, he could only do so after actual testing.

Ron carved the arch of his foot out of hardwood, inlaid a small piece of copper at the joint for support, and glued a layer of polished animal hide to the bottom for slip resistance.

This foot is half an inch narrower than normal, but its shape is close to that of a real foot.

The remaining part is a cup-shaped cavity that fits over the stump, which needs to be measured and made when Longbottom himself arrives.

Early the next morning, Ron was still building the stone towers. When the first earth rock tower was completed, Amy and Will arrived and excitedly knelt down on one knee to greet Ron.

"My lord, the night before last, I felt that the stagnation that had been stuck in my chest for years suddenly loosen." Amy's voice was still trembling slightly as she said this. "Then the breathing technique circulated a full cycle on its own, and when I stopped, I was already an Earth Knight."

Ron took out a crystal rod and had the two of them test it.

Overall, it's not bad. With a breathing technique that is compatible with the attributes, and if you have some potions or resources to help you cultivate, you still have a chance to cultivate to the mid-to-late stage of Earth Knight in this lifetime, but that's already the limit.
