Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Extravagant Arrow

Snow's performance can be called the actor level, and he was overjoyed when he heard that the iron in the livestock farm had turned into gold and stone. The www.biquge.info of Pen, Fun, and Pavilion led everyone to run forward, and came to the livestock farm to carefully inspect it, and after confirming that it was really gold, iron, and stone, Snow was more surprised and excited than anyone else.

Randolph and Abra were a little disappointed to see Snow so surprised. Originally, they thought that Snow had mastered the skills to refine the gold, iron and stone. But looking at Snow's performance now, he, like the big guy, has no idea how Jin Tieshi appeared. In this way, the appearance of gold and iron stone has become a coincidence.

"Elder Town, how did you refine so much gold, iron and stone?" Abra asked, a little unwilling.

Snow thought about it, and if he pretended to be confused at this time, he would be a little eager to cover up.

"The charcoal and shaft furnace used for ironmaking are all from my own hands, and they should have nothing to do with gold, iron, and stone. I think this batch of ore contains some kind of substance that can convert iron into gold and ironstone. Turning his head to look at the remaining iron ore in the corner, Snow still gave a plausible explanation.

Last night, Yarlian used magic to help and almost collapsed. Now there is enough steel to make hundreds of arrowheads, so Snow does not plan to use the steel filling method to produce steel in large quantities for the time being. First, the quality of iron ore is too poor, and the efficiency is low. The second is that Yalian's body can't bear it. Most importantly, Snow knew that he was guilty, so there was no need for mass production until he had enough power to protect the town's property.

"If it's really the reason for this batch of iron ore, then our town is really rich." Abra said with some excitement, you know, there are still many iron ores with a lot of impurities at the edge of the mountain forest. If all this iron ore is smelted into gold and iron stone, what a fortune it is, Abra feels that his blood is swelling when he thinks about it.

"Let's refine another batch and see, won't we?" Randolph on the side suggested that this is like buying a lottery ticket, the first six digits are all right, and the last digit is missing, and once you win, it will be a jackpot of tens of millions of dollars.

Under Snow's command, everyone began to carefully refine another batch of pig iron according to yesterday's steps with nervous anticipation. When it cooled down, it was similar to yesterday's pig iron, which contained some magazines.

"Maybe it will take a while for things to change." Abra looked up and said, "Wasn't this the same iron before we left yesterday, be patient." ”

"I think so, let's carry this iron to the town, and then send a few people to guard it. See if they will change and how. Randolph said that it was not a good idea to watch at night in a cattle farm without walls and fire.

"Okay, that's it." Snow nodded in agreement, he knew very well in his heart that even if this pig iron was left in the town for ten years, it would not become gold, iron and stone.

The big guy carried the gold iron stone and this batch of freshly smelted pig iron, and returned to the town in a hurry. Put the pig iron in the open space in the town first, and send Geralusanne to take care of it, after all, he is the only blacksmith in the town, and he has dealt with steel the most, so this task is the most suitable for him.

After that, Randolph and the others began to discuss with Snow how to use the piece of gold, iron, and stone, which was quite a fortune.

Several of the older residents proposed to hand over the gold and iron stones to the border fortress in exchange for gold coins and the right to let everyone get close to the fortress.

This was first denied by Snow. His reasons are very good, first of all, he and others have become sinners who have been driven out of the territory by Count Ropier, and those nobles will not do business with abandoned sinners. When the time comes, not only will they not be able to exchange for gold coins, but they will also not be able to keep the gold.

It is not easy to say that Viscount Furnis will suspect that they have mastered the method of smelting gold, iron and stone, and then send soldiers to arrest them and put them in prison and torture them. After all, for so many years, there has not been so much gold and iron stone at one time. Snow and the others asked themselves, if they were Viscount Fness, they would also suspect that Rook Town had mastered the method of smelting gold, iron and stone, or ore raw materials.

Even if they take 10,000 steps back, Viscount Finnis agrees with Snow and them to enter the border fortress, then they are still sinners. At most, they found some hard labor in the city, and exchanged for a pitiful ration every day, and lived without dignity.

Snow's words dispel everyone from the idea of returning to the border fortress.

"Mayor Town, why don't we sell the gold and iron stone to Kalka City?" An elderly resident suggested.

The city of Kalka belongs to the kingdom of Riva and is just southeast of the town of Ruk, across the Lianxi River, about two days away.

"That's possible, but you can't come up with too much gold, iron, and stone. After all, gold and iron stone are too precious, and selling a large amount of money will make people suspicious, and it is more difficult to sell, ordinary nobles simply cannot afford to buy so much gold and iron stone. Snow thought for a moment and said, "We are not civilians of the Riva Kingdom, and Kalka City will not allow more than 200 of us to enter the city. But we can send a few men into the city as merchants and exchange a small amount of gold and iron stone to Kalka City for wheat and corn, as well as clothing and herbs. ”

Merchants were allowed to travel between the three kingdoms, which is what the church meant.

"What do you say, what should we do with the rest of the gold, iron and stone?" Abra asked.

"What was the purpose of our previous iron smelting?" Snow asked rhetorically.

"Of course it's to build weapons...... Abra was slightly stunned after speaking, turned his head to look at Snow, and asked with some uncertainty: "Mayor, you don't want to make gold and iron stone into weapons, do you?" ”

"What? Isn't that possible? Snow smiled slightly, "As we all know, gold, iron and stone are the perfect materials for crafting weapons, and if you use them to make a batch of arrowheads, the power must be quite amazing. ”

"But the mayor of the town, this is too extravagant." Abra said with a bitter face, "Making weapons out of gold, iron and stone is something that only those rich and powerful nobles can do." "These gold, iron and stones, in the eyes of Abra and others, are equivalent to gold coins. Of course, they were reluctant to make arrowheads out of gold coins.

"Luxury? I don't think so. Snow glanced around the crowd and said earnestly, "Even if we exchange gold and iron for gold, what is the use of it for us now." It can't be exchanged for food, nor can it be exchanged for medicinal herbs. It's just an ore in its own right, and we're going to use it in the most appropriate place according to its unique properties. It is undoubtedly the most valuable destination of gold and iron stone now. ”

Snow smiled and said, "Besides, whether you make gold, iron and stone into arrowheads or other shapes, the essence remains the same. When we get through this winter, we can take out the arrows and go to several towns in batches to shoot quietly. In this way, the target is small, and it will not cause any major movements. ”

After hearing Snow's idea, everyone nodded in agreement.

"Alright, I'll leave the crafting of the arrowhead to the blacksmith. I've put Gerosanne in charge, and I've built five more blacksmith shops in town. Snow stood up, looked to the north of the town, and whispered, "I hope we can get our bows and arrows in place before the beasts leave the forest." ”
