Chapter 12: The Bear
"My lord, this is a medium-sized iron ore vein, and only a small part of it has been dug up by the orcs, and the iron ore has a high iron content.
In particular, most of the iron ore I saw seemed to have an iron content of nearly 30%, which is already very good in a medium-sized iron ore vein! An elven ranger who hurried over, holding some iron ore, happily recounted.
The corners of the other fighters who heard the news couldn't help but slowly hook up a smile on their lips.
That's right.
A medium-sized iron ore vein, at least millions of tons of iron ore, a lot of iron essence, because the vein is large enough, the mining hole can also dig more, as long as the number of people is enough, at least 300,000 tons of iron ore can be excavated every year, if it is refined into iron, it will be much less, but the selling price will be more expensive.
However, in the case of high iron content, the selling price can also be increased a lot.
At this normal rate of excavation, it can last at least a few decades, if nothing happens.
Although in the eyes of others, this is a game, and iron is not valuable to ordinary players, but for an NPC lord like him, it is a very valuable thing.
With the iron ore vein alone, he can earn almost 1-20,000 gold coins a year.
1 Gold = 100 Silver = 10,000 Copper Coins.
There are not many gold coins though.
But sustainable output is important, not to mention that his territory needs a lot of iron.
And.
He is poor, tens of thousands of gold coins, he spent it with a wave of his hand in his previous life, although he still feels distressed......
But he now needs to raise too many people, if he still wants to expand the scope of the territory and build a larger neutral camp city, it is not enough to give him hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and the lord and the scattered players cannot be compared.
"Now that the territory finally has a vein that can make money, go back and pick a good candidate, start work immediately, and each of you is rewarding 5 silver coins!" William did not hesitate, just one iron ore vein, even if the news leaked, it was nothing, and there was no need for the two adjacent principalities to send troops to kill the edge towns for one or two thousand gold coins a year.
The edge town has been in the neutral camp for so long, there used to be his father, now there is him, and there are so many pure-blood elves in the Black Leaf Forest, as long as he easily does not participate in the struggle between the two principalities, or leaks the great treasure, the enemy will naturally not act easily.
After all, no one wants to annoy the elves of the Black Leaf Forest!
Although they didn't know the details of William Black Leaf, they could also understand that with 500 elves guarding him, he was very important in the eyes of the Black Leaf Elves......
"Thank you, Lord Lord," the many elven warriors shouted with joy on their faces.
Lotna smiled slightly, pointed to the big guy in the trap and said: "Then what about this intermediate demonic beast, the fur can't be sold, otherwise the complete fur of the berserk giant bear, still such a big guy, can be sold for at least 1,000 gold coins, and if it is for meat, it can be sold for at least more than 800 gold coins!" ”
William thought for a moment: "Forget it, this berserk bear is at least more than 4,000 kilograms, and the flesh and blood are also rich in magical power, we will stay and eat it ourselves, the soldiers who followed me are each 5 catties of meat, and the soldiers who are guarding at home are 2 catties each." ”
"Thank you, Lord Lord, the glory of the World Tree will bless you forever!" This time, the words of thanks were completely different, and the elven warriors instantly had a good impression of William.
This kind of thing that can increase strength is easy to get, 5 catties of Warcraft meat is almost equivalent to 10 silver coins, but the real situation is that 50 silver coins can also buy precious Warcraft meat.
This kind of reward is very generous for any lord.
What's more, they are still unharmed, and even the soldiers who stayed behind to guard have not been left behind, which definitely shows that the lord has really changed now, at least his character is very good!
However, William still left a big head, of course he didn't want to eat hard, no matter how delicious the mid-level Warcraft was, he would be tired of eating it.
As a combination of NPC and player, although he does not have the upper limit of the number of times a player can eat meat, the bear meat that can be left behind can be used as a reward in the future.
Using this kind of thing as a reward is much more valuable than gold coins for professionals, and it is much more cost-effective.
After all, William has a task to level up, but other NPCs can only rely on eating, fighting, training, etc. to improve their strength.
"My lord, is this little guy hungry?" Norton now had three cubs in his arms, with only a thin layer of white fluff on his body, and he had to take off his underwear and wrap them in it, for fear that one of them would accidentally catch a cold and get sick, and his guilt would ...... Unthinkable.
"Let's go back immediately, leave a 10-person ranger team here to monitor and see if anyone else has found this vein, and when we go back, we will immediately send miners and troops to replace it!" William picked up one of them, and seemed to be really hungry, and had to go back immediately to get some milk to feed it.
As soon as the words fell.
William Heiye hurriedly walked back with the men and horses, the iron ore vein was almost seven or eight miles away from the edge of the town, the distance was not close, but it was not far either.
The main reason is that the mountain road is difficult to walk, and if you want to hollow out this iron mine, you must build another road, otherwise you will not be able to transport iron ore.
William, who was on the way, couldn't help but have a headache when he thought of this.
It costs money to cut down trees, and it costs money to build roads.
However, there are more strange and poor ghosts in the marginal towns, and as long as they have money, this group of people will do anything.
No way.
Neutral camp.
There are too few good people, and the people who can survive here are basically thugs, either with a blood feud or a wanted warrant on their faces, they dare not appear in the light camp, and can only mix in the neutral camp.
When his father was still there, he was able to rely on his own strength to let many criminals quietly work for him and even serve as soldiers.
But as soon as he disappeared, this group of soldiers regained their true nature the fastest......
However, thugs have the advantage of thugs, that is, they have great strength, high force value, and there are even many professionals, as long as there is strong strength and money temptation, it is very simple to make this group of people contribute.
Two hours.
A group of blood-stained armor finally made their way out of the forest, and when they returned to the edge town.
Many idle civilians looked at the past with shocked faces, and they were talking one after another, what kind of monster is this 5-meter-tall giant bear?
It must be a monster, no ordinary animal can reach this physique.
"This is a berserk giant bear, an intermediate demonic beast, maybe a high-level demonic beast!" Someone said suddenly, a flash of heat flashing in his eyes.
After all, this is an intermediate-level Warcraft, the meat is delicious and good, and it can improve its strength a lot.
"Oh my God, there are even cubs, and even three, is it possible to ......" A group of people saw the bear cub in William's arms, and there was a trace of envy in their hearts, and the bear cub who hadn't opened his eyes yet.
The first person you see when you open your eyes will confess to them!
As long as these three cubs grow up smoothly, it will be a sharp weapon on the battlefield.
William walked on the road with an arrogant face, and did not pay attention to this group of dishonest civilians, the reason why he dragged out of the mountains and forests for 2 hours was that he didn't want to divide the giant bear into corpses, but to let them see this big guy, and by the way, show the strength of his personal guards, so that they don't mess with any moths.
"Milk, get the milk, I'm going to feed the bear!"
"I'm sorry lord, but we only have goat's milk right now!"
“…… Goat's milk is goat's milk! ”
"There is also very little goat milk, and we still need to ...... for future feeding Go to the Principality of Steel to buy! ”
“…… Buy! ”
