Sharzalu desperately needed metal weapons on land, and Rekai needed the abundant fish of the sea for food, and both sides needed exactly what the other didn't value too much, so the deal was a perfect fit.

Under the watchful eyes of the gods, the two sides signed a contract, and for the first time, Sharzalu supplied more than tons of white fish, and these fish were actually brought ashore by those fishmen, which made Rekai, who had been watching all this happen, a little puzzled: Aren't these guys sad to see that half of their own kind is about to be devoured? Of course, Sharzalu's words solved Rekai's doubts.

"These guys themselves eat fish." Well, sure enough, it's not a breed at all.

"So now that the food has been supplied to you first, when will the weapon I want arrive?" Sharzaru said eagerly as he watched the last fish-man put the fish in his hand into the basket that Lei Kai had sent him.

"I'll arrange for the gnolls to mine as soon as I get back, and the first batch of equipment should arrive in five days." Lei Kai roughly calculated the time, and then said, no race among the ogres, snowmen, and gnolls has the profession of blacksmith, and their weapons were only some stone or wooden weapons before, and all the weapons provided to Naga need to be done by Lei Kai himself. And the only thing that Lei Kai is fortunate enough to be thankful for is that he has alchemy skills, so he can make equipment without having to do it himself, "However, what equipment do you need?" ”

"Armor and weapons, we only need armor on the upper body, and I hope the weapons are bigger and heavier." Sharzalu said that because of the buoyancy in the sea, weapons and equipment on land will always be a little lighter in the sea.

"Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as I get back."

……

Back in New Goddock, everything is still going on under Tyre's rule, and Rekai tells her about trading with Naga.

"I don't have a problem trading with them, but where are we going to find so many weapons and equipment?" Terrey's still clearly wasn't quite aware of Rekay's abilities.

"You don't need to worry about weapons and equipment, the only thing I'm worried about now is the raw materials." Lei Kai threw himself on the couch.

"I don't know where you got your confidence, but I think we can be self-sufficient in terms of raw materials." Tyret said, "There was an exposed vein of iron ore in the cave where the yeti lived, and I think there must be a lot of minerals there. Tyre said, flicking a folder at Rekay.

This was the result of the Scouts' detection of Firath, who, on Tyre's orders, drew a detailed map of Firath, including the distribution of some mineral deposits and medicines.

"But we still don't have enough people, you know, mining is not an easy task." Lei Kai looked at the report and said without raising his head.

"Those gnolls, though not as good at digging as their distant relatives, kobolds, are no strangers to mining." Tyre said.

"Okay then, arrange for someone to take those gnolls to mine, and try to send the ore back as soon as possible." Lei Kai put down the paper, "I think we can do some training on the ogre, but we can't just eat and do nothing." ”

Now in the entire New Goddockles, due to the gradual completion of the basic buildings, many ogres have begun to have nothing to do, and these ogres who have nothing to do are mostly those who can't join the army because they are young, if this goes on for a long time, it will be a big impact on the security of the entire city. Rekai didn't want the new Goddock that he and others had worked so hard to get to end up ruining at the hands of these individuals.

So the next day, the news of a recruitment spread throughout the New Goddock: because the new city was mainly built with steel mills, a large number of people were recruited, and the requirements for recruitment were very simple, as long as they had the strength to do so, they would provide three meals a day, and an additional gold coin would be issued.

There is food and money to take, although there is nothing to use in the new Goddockles at the moment, but everyone wants to put some gold coins on themselves, and even if they can't use it, it is extremely pleasing to take it out and look at it. So a whole bunch of young ogres who couldn't find anything to do for the time being were drawn in, and this move also attracted the snowmen and elves. Of course, Lei Kai will not refuse to come, and if you don't do well in the future, don't do it again! Anyway, all these people who are recruited now are novices, and there is not a single skilled worker.

Rekai had chosen the location of the steel mill to the west, closer to the coast, where a curving river flowed through it, just right for quenching, and before that, he seemed to know more about how to build a steel mill, after all, no one around him had ever touched the industry.

"I miss Magni so much at this time." Lei Kai was at a loss for the design drawings in front of him.

"Who is Magni?" Obviously, the later Red Dragon Sister didn't know the dwarf, "Seeing you swear before, I thought you were really ready for everything." ”

"Who knows, I thought it was going to be easy." Lei Kai grabbed his hair in annoyance, "If only we could have a melting pot." "He misses the melting pot of Ironforge so much now.

"Stop daydreaming, let's think about what we need to do!" Tyré spoke unceremoniously.

It's obviously impractical to knock on the ground and let the magma pour it in, but since you want to make steel, you definitely need a high-temperature furnace, which stumped Lei Kai, who didn't have a good visit when he was in Thunder Cliff before, and now he doesn't even know how to make iron.

"Maybe we need to ask your grandfather for help." Lei Kai sighed and said to Vaughn beside him.

"It shouldn't be a problem to ask him for help, but what about this deal in front of you?" Vaughn asked.

"Of course, I have my own way, but how to solve the problem of calling these ogres in but not working." Lei Kai thought of the booming steel plant now, and had another headache. What if a promise can't be fulfilled, so what if there is a riot?

"Let's let them go mining first, after all, mining is also an entry skill for a blacksmith, isn't it?" Terry thought for a moment and said.

"Well, it seems that this is the only way to go." Lei Kai thought about it and didn't think of any other tricks, so he could only nod and agree.

So, the mighty procession drove to the cave where the snowmen used to live, and began a vigorous mining activity.
