For example, the following [ River ] was the embodiment of Kant’s ambition.
[ Terrain transformation (River): Contains the mysterious power of rule, it can communicate with the water elemental plane and transform the terrain at the level of rule. It can connect existing lakes, subterranean rivers, subterranean lakes, river channels, ancient river channels, and dried river channels. The water elemental plane can provide water to form a river. ]
Kant’s breathing stopped slightly, and his face was filled with shock.
He hadn’t expected that this seemingly ordinary lottery result, this seemingly ordinary special gift pack, would actually contain such a terrifying result. It could be said to be able to change the current situation.
That’s right, it could change Kant’s current layout in the Nahrin Desert!
He looked at the system’s description.
It was able to directly connect existing lakes, subterranean rivers, subterranean lakes, rivers, ancient rivers, and dried-up rivers through the water elemental plane to form rivers.
This was why Kant was shocked, the shock that a miracle appeared before his eyes!
His idea could now become a reality.
Connecting the Oasis Lookout and the Senwaya Range with rivers was no longer a dream.
Transport ships could directly use the waterway to travel between the two places. The speed was fast, and the amount of goods transported was huge. It was completely different from the overland route. It beyond compared to just relying on camels or pack horses!
The ship’s goods would quickly travel between the two places.
The elite troops could also use the waterway to travel between any area.
However, Kant frowned slightly.
After the shock just now, he suddenly found that he should keep calm.
“Something’s wrong.”
Kant muttered to himself.
His mind calmed down and he quickly regained his consciousness.
Now that he was thinking seriously, if he really chose to use this special gift pack, it would be equivalent to being stupid. Because the current Kant did not have enough strength to protect this waterway.
Strategically, he is still on the defensive.
Whether it is the Dukedom of Leo, or the distant Coast of Mannheim.
It was a threat to Kant.
He could build “Drondheim” Castle here, and ensure his hegemony in the Nahrin Desert. The water resources of this castle, as well as the strong walls and towers were the guarantee of his power.
This was his foundation.
If this river appeared, his two estates could certainly communicate.
But more enemies could use the water resources formed by this river to besiege “Drondheim” Castle for a long time, and even find “Aaron” along the river, his weak rear.
The gains didn’t make up for the losses.
It was completely inconsistent with the current situation!
Kant needed the harsh environment of the Nahrin Desert as a natural moat.
Instead of foolishly turning this harsh environment and the area that was extremely short of water into an area where the enemy could boldly launch a military and gave them beneficial help on logistics and supplies!
After calming down, Kant could not help but smile bitterly. “I’m possessed.”
He was now completely calm.
Looking at this special gift pack [ River ] , he shook his head because of his impulsive thought just now.
If he wanted to use it, he needed more development.
At the very least, he needed to have the strength to defeat the enemy troops in the Nahrin Desert. Otherwise, this river would become the enemy’s shortcut and backing, and not Kant’s help.
However, Kant could not use this [ River ] , but he could use [ Lake ] .
“Materialize immediately.”
In the thought communication system, a large amount of datflow instantly appeared.
On the eastern side of the mountain peak, the terrain that was originally a cliff began to change along with the data flow. The area that was originally a complex low-lying area and a mountain valley began to expand in a short period of time. At the same time, it sank. When the data flow was small, it finally formed into a lake.
It was more than 300 meters long and more than 200 meters wide, and its depth seemed to be about four meters.
Next to it was a cave where water gushed out from underground.
The water from the river flowed into the lake continuously, but at the same time, the water from both of them also flowed into the river channel, speeding up the flow of the river channel outside the Senwaya Range.
“Build the city wall!”
Kant materialized the building that he won in the last lottery.
The five meters high and two meters wide stone city wall immediately appeared, but the direction of the construction was not at the top of the mountain, but around the mountain, completely separating the mountain from the Senwaya Range in the outside world.
In this way, those wild beasts or demonized creatures would be completely locked in the outside world.
The city wall was the isolation circle.
Even the enemy could not climb over this city wall.
After all, it was built according to the terrain of the mountain. Although it was at the foot of the mountain, coupled with the other low-lying areas and the intersection of the two mountains, the difference of the elevation between the wall and low-lying areas could reach more than three meters, which meant that the height of the city wall was increased.
Especially the city gate.
The only city gate that Kant had reserved was the one under the gentle slope in the south.
As long as there was an enemy invasion, the busy peasants in the agricultural area and the livestock in the livestock area could quickly use this city gate to move in and defend this mountain. If they could not defend the city wall, they could also use the caves inside the city wall to escape into the relics of the temple, or they could go to the underground city of the karst cave where the ancient passage was located.
Kant’s current plan could be said to be extremely safe and secure. After all, with the development of “Aaron”, he would eventually be exposed to the world, and the pressure he would face would definitely increase dramatically.
This was because “Aaron” was very close to the Stone Pass, much closer than “Drondheim”.
Some enemies who harbored malicious intentions or were frustrated in the Oasis Lookout would definitely come over to investigate, or even launch an attack to vent their hatred, as long as they knew that Kant’s hidden forces were still here.
Therefore, safety was the most important thing.
However, to be able to break through a city or castle guarded by the Rhodok people was a bit of a joke.
Kant also had confidence in these Rhodok people.
Rhodok’s broad shield, the siege crossbow of the Rhodok sergeant, and the deadly heavy bow of the Ravenstern ranger. If they wanted to break through this city wall, they had to at least leave behind several times of the corpses than the wall defenders!
Moreover, Kant was going to level up ‘Aaron’ Village!
His thoughts moved slightly.
On his vision, a dialog box immediately popped up.
[ Ding… system prompt ]
[ Currently, the equipment of ‘Aaron’ Village is complete. Level up is allowed. ]
[ Yes/No level up. ]
The system gave him a choice.
But Kant did not hesitate at this time. He said with certainty, “Level up!”
He was extremely certain.
“Aaron” had been a village for too long. He needed more villages to level up to a higher level of the territory’s central hub, to ensure that his development in the future would become more stable and faster!
With his affirmation, the data stream instantly exploded.
The council hall was wrapped in data.
Large amounts of data streams began to entangle, bringing mysterious and bizarre rules to this world.
As if he had broken some crystal wall and connected the rules of the two worlds, the council hall in front of Kant began to change. This was the most direct change after the rules merged.
At the same time, the system continued to pop up the dialog box on his retina.
[ Ding… system prompt ]
[ The village has reached the level up standard. There are two modes for this level up. ]
[1 fortress (military)/2 town (economy)]
[ Please make a reasonable choice based on the current situation. Once confirmed, there will be no changes afterward. ]
Kant muttered to himself.
After scanning through this option, a smile appeared on his face. “Town!”
This was a completely different choice from when he chose “Drondheim” as the fortress.
It also represented a completely different development!
[ Ding… system prompt ]
[ The mode confirmed as town. Level up of village. ]
The data stream continued to spread.
It seemed to last for a long time, but it only lasted for a few seconds.
The data stream that completely covered the council hall was ferocious when it came, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Kant had also exited God’s view.
He stood next to the council hall again and turned his head to look. The council hall, which was originally just an ordinary two-story wooden house, was still two stories tall, but the area it occupied was several times larger.
Even the rooms had changed from six to a total of 24.
At the same time, there was a complete Lord’s hall, as well as offices on both sides, a living room, a kitchen, and a storeroom. The bedroom on the second floor and the additional storeroom were wrapped up.
There were also many decorations that were in Rhodok’s style.
For example, the wall decorations made from the head of a wild beast.
There were also many artefacts carved from trees, inlaid with silver and gemstones. They looked very exquisite.
Including the animal skin on the floor.
Only now did Kant think that the term council hall was very appropriate.
Council hall in a fortress or castle was more like a military tower or small fortress. It was built to defend against the enemy. As for governing, there were not many designs.
The current council hall was very suitable.
The office next to it could accommodate government employees and maintain the commercial, handicraft, and agricultural arrangements of the town.
As well as the most important tax revenue in the town.
Starting from the town, Kant needed to recruit government employees to help the generals with office work. Especially after the town grew larger and more advanced, the number of government employees would increase. After all, with only one or two generals, it was difficult to maintain the operation of a huge city. He needed many subordinates to help him.
Of course, Kant did not need to think too much for the time being. The town that had just appeared had not been built yet. All the buildings that belonged to the town still needed to be added.
“Open the town interface.”, Kant gave the order.

[ Comment: The brand new “Aaron” Town has just been established, and it seems to be in good condition.
