"Ding, detected that the host has named the new hero unit."
...
Huh? What's going on? What naming? What happened? What the heck?
Just as Galen was asking himself these three questions, the Archmage stepped off the altar, strode forward, leaned on his staff, knelt on one knee, and looked up at the sky.
"Master mage Gandalf at your service."
Oh, ho, the Archmage was named Gandalf by me.
That Gandalf, with a staff in his left hand and a long sword in his right, who went in and out of the orc army seven times, a melee mage.
"My Lord, I don't know martial arts, I can't use a sword." The Archmage remained kneeling, not getting up.
Huh, how does he know I'm thinking about whether he can use a sword? Isn't it tiring to crane his neck so high? Get up quickly, buddy, what are you still kneeling for?
Gandalf immediately stood up and stretched his neck.
"Thank you, My Lord."
Galen was now embarrassed. Can the Archmage know what I'm thinking?
"Yes, My Lord, your mental power pervades the sky above this land, and I can feel the thoughts emanating from your mental power."
Then why have I been observing the base for almost half a month, and I can issue instructions to them, but they don't know what I'm thinking like you do?
"Their strength is not enough to perceive it. My Lord, you haven't learned to control your mental power yet. You only need to concentrate your mental power and connect it to them, and they will be able to communicate with you."
Don't call me My Lord, call me Galen, or you can call me Prince.
Thinking of this, Galen also tried to gather his mental power, so that the mental power would no longer spread.
In this process, Galen had a whim. When the first farmer, Cliff, was built, he could tell himself some information about the town hall. I wonder if this first hero can give himself some surprises.
Upon asking, the Archmage knew much more than Cliff.
According to the Archmage, he only remembers that a long, long time ago, he was a powerful magician, so powerful that he could travel through the void, far surpassing the strength of a hero.
Later, he was chased by a terrifying, indescribable horror in the void, and then he died.
After death, his soul did not immediately dissipate, but wandered aimlessly in the void. In this wandering process, the soul also began to shatter, and memories also dissipated continuously with the shattering soul, until only magical knowledge remained complete, and other memories had completely dissipated.
Just as his last bit of soul essence was about to die, he was brought to this land by a ray of light and absorbed into the Altar of Kings.
Then, the broken soul was constantly repaired by the energy in the altar, and at the same time, he was instilled with knowledge about the Origin Heart base, until finally, his body was reshaped in the last two days.
The Origin Heart gave him higher authority than other combat units, allowing him to command all the units trained by the base, and finally instilled in him the command to be loyal to the host.
In addition to his original arcane knowledge, he was also instilled with four innate abilities: Blizzard, Summon Water Elemental, Brilliance Aura, and Mass Teleport.
As for his original powerful strength, it completely dissipated. This Master Archmage's strength was forcibly raised by the Origin Heart based on the host Galen. He needs a period of time to re-consolidate his current strength before he can continue to improve his rank.
Finally, Galen also learned that he could share the map scanned by the base with the Archmage through mental power to carry out long-distance command operations.
When Galen first obtained the Origin Heart, he knew it was very awesome, but he didn't expect it to be so awesome.
Deep into the void, capturing souls, instilling memories, reshaping the body, all in one go, understated.
The power of the Origin Heart is terrifying.
After Galen finished talking with Gandalf, he connected his mental power to the Altar of Kings and saw that another hero in the interface had turned gray. Connecting to the Paladin prompted that the Town Hall needed to be upgraded to a level 2 main city before the second summoning could be performed.
Then, he transferred his mental power to the Town Hall to find the upgrade instructions.
Upgrade to Level 2 Main City
Requirements: Unit Gold
Unit Wood
Upgrade to the main city to unlock more buildings and units.
Currently unavailable, requires the base population to reach 10,000 population units.
The last sentence of 'unavailable' gave Galen a bucket of cold water.
Fortunately, Galen calculated that the Town Hall could complete one farmer per hour by continuously training farmers, and it would take more than 400 days to complete the goal of 10,000 people.
In addition to the combat units trained by the barracks, the time can be shortened by nearly half. If Galen builds double barracks, or even three or four barracks in a few days, then the 10,000 population can still be achieved within a few months.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the base, Galen added a few farms, filled the training sequence of the Town Hall and barracks, and prepared to exit the base perspective.
Finally, he suddenly remembered, and reconnected his mental power to Gandalf, instructing him to reorganize the hundreds of combat units and plan patrol routes, and then withdrew his mental power from the base.
In the next few days, Galen lived very leisurely. In the morning, he would go to his father for morning exercises and have breakfast together. In the afternoon, he would go to the Tower of Arathor to look at the kingdom's collection of books. In the evening, he would connect with the Origin Heart through mental power to see the situation of the base and communicate with Gandalf by the way.
Until the fifth day, someone finally came to him.
The visitor was Fardel Dabyrie, the youngest son of the current Earl Dabyrie. Galen had met him a few times at the kingdom's banquet.
The Dabyrie family owns the largest farm in the northern Arathi Highlands, and the Northford Farm in the northwest, and the Gesharak Farm on the southeastern border are known as the three major granaries of Stromgarde.
This kid's family is rolling in money. Every year, they earn profits by exporting grain to Ironforge, which is not suitable for farming, which makes their family's strength increase day by day. Of course, in addition to the Dabyrie Farm, their family also has a fief in the northern mountains.
It's just that this kid is the second child in the family. He also has an older brother, Marcel Dabyrie, who has more talent in business, so their mother, Countess Konata Dabyrie, is more inclined to hand over family affairs to the eldest son.
Then this kid was miserable. His elder brother was more outstanding than him, and his parents even made the eldest son the heir. Losing the right of inheritance, he may be given a part of the wealth or a small piece of land to support himself in the future, and may eventually be reduced to a commoner, which he cannot accept.
Fardel still has some talent among the young people of Stromgarde. Stromgarde is a martial kingdom, and under the influence of the environment, he has also been in the militia and has some friendship with Omar and Varokhar.
But after all, he is the son of a noble family, who has been pampered since he was a child. There are too many temptations around him, and he cannot endure too much hardship. He withdrew from the militia early.
After realizing that he could not inherit the family's fief, he regained his sense of crisis and picked up martial arts again, and began to work hard. This year, at the age of eighteen, he finally barely reached the peak of the sixth tier, barely touching the threshold of a master warrior.
His arrival shocked Galen and made him secretly happy.
The reason why he asked Omar and the others to spread the news that he was about to form an army was to attract the nobles of the kingdom.
