Sitting in the carriage, Sean slowly calculated.

During his month at Fort Riptide, Sean converted all the ore and minecarts he got from the Jangorod Mines into fort materials, earning 20 stone and 10 gold, and 15 iron.

In this way, Sean still seems to be far away from the council hall!

But it doesn't matter, Sean has his own plans.

The lumberjack borrowed from Fablon has not yet been returned, and Sean plans to go on a large scale to harvest wood and accumulate timber resources after returning from Shining Gold Town.

There are quite a few professional hunters in Shining Gold, and they should be able to buy a lot of leather there. Sean plans to sell the kobold's shaman's staff and Dalaran's apprentice robes, which should be exchanged for a lot of money. In addition to buying leather, you can also buy some stone at the quarry. In that case, the council office should be fine.

When the council hall is completed, many buildings can be built, such as the Mage Tower, such as the Puppet Factory, such as the Alchemy Laboratory......

But that's all for later.

What Sean needs to do now is to improve his strength.

Although he has been promoted to a level 1 mage, Sean still has only one magic mastered, and that is the fireball technique. And his fireball spell takes too long to cast, up to 20 seconds. Fortunately, because of the equipment, the cast speed is +4, and the time to release the fireball spell has been reduced to less than 10 seconds, but it is still very long.

By the time he launches the fireball spell, I'm afraid the battle will be over.

It can't be helped, it takes a long time to practice. But Sean didn't have a chance to practice.

Sean decides to settle down and study the nature of arcane and learn another skill.

Arcane missiles.

This is a skill that requires channeling, shaping arcane energy into condensed missiles that continue to attack enemies. As long as your intelligence is high enough and your spirit is enough, then you can go on forever.

Compared to the fireball technique, the arcane missile has a slightly worse attack power, but it is still very good because it does not have such a long cast speed.

Of course, compared to the fireball technique, the arcane missile is much more difficult. However, perhaps because of his not weak intelligence and strong spirit, Sean studied the arcane missile and was obviously much faster.

Thanks to the elven mage Serena Morningdew.

In the beginning, the female mage taught Sean and Merry the three spells of fireball, ice arrow, and arcane missile. And like magic explosions, firestorms, and blizzards, none of these more advanced spells were taught.

So if Sean wants to learn more spells, he has to find another way.

From Sardinia Farm to Shining Gold, you first pass through Jason Farm, the northernmost farm in the Wild West. Sardinia Farm to Jason Farm, even by horse-drawn carriage, has to walk for at least a day. This also means that Sean and Old Sardin have to spend the night outside.

Fortunately, they were able to take turns keeping vigils, and the night was peaceful. Early the next morning, Sean and his party came to Jason's farm.

The whole Wild West farmer, Old Sardinia knew him. After a brief pleasantries, Sean asks if there are any scrapped crop golems.

Luckily, Jason Farm has 3 Wheat Field Golems scrapped.

After obtaining 3 Golem Hearts, the quest is complete. And Sean finally got the small architectural drawings "Puppet Factory".

"Puppet Factory: Small Building. It has a complete puppet production line, capable of producing a variety of small and medium-sized puppets, including crop field puppets. With the exception of the Wheat Field Golem, other golems require a certain amount of Fort resources to research. The duration and cost of the study depend on the difficulty of the golem. ”

"The materials needed for construction: 100 points for wood, 100 points for stone, 100 points for iron."

"Time required to build: one day."

Sure enough, as imagined, wheat field golems can be produced!

But it can't be built yet. Otherwise, produce a few wheat field puppets and follow them at all times, and safety will be guaranteed.

Because Gianni Stallman hadn't come yet, Old Sardin and the others were waiting at Jason's Farm. It wasn't until late afternoon that Grian Stallman arrived.

"Haha, great, great!"

Grian called out "Great" twice in a row, and then greeted old Sartin.

"What's so good?" Old Satin asked with a smile as he handed Grian a bowl of water.

Grian drank the water in one go, and then said with a happy face: "The kobolds and fishmen have suffered heavy losses, and the gold coast is full of corpses!" Hehe, this is a good opportunity, a good opportunity to completely wipe out kobolds and fishmen! But old Sardinia, I need the help of you farmers. You know, I've got a tight hand, hehe. ”

Grian rubbed his hands.

Old Satin and Jason glanced at each other, and both saw each other's plans, so they nodded and said, "Lord Grian, don't worry, as long as you can completely eliminate the kobolds and fishmen, how much money will be needed, we are out!" ”

Kobolds often harass farms, and fishmen like to block roads and rob, causing great annoyance to the farmers of the western wilderness, if these two mountains can be destroyed, as long as the cost is not too much, old Sardin admitted.

Hearing that Old Satin agreed, Grian stretched out five fingers and smiled: "Five hundred gold coins!" Only 500 gold coins! You have so many farms together, five thousand gold coins, I will go to Shining Gold Town to buy armor and weapons, and when I come back, I will lead troops to destroy the kobolds and fishmen! ”

Five thousand gold coins, which is definitely not a small amount. Even if the farmers of the major farms share it, it is enough to make them feel painful.

Both Old Sardin and Jason hesitated.

At this time, Grian mysteriously lowered his voice and said, "Old Satinia, Jason, I'll tell you. Now Stormwind can't control the Wild West, as long as we get rid of the kobolds and fishmen, the entire northern part of the Wild West will be ours. When the time comes, the gold from the Jangorod Mine will be ours! The treasures that the Gold Coast Fishmen have collected from the shipwreck are also ours! I tell you, let's divide it into three, three of you, and seven of ......."

Old Sardin was stunned for a full five seconds before he reacted and said angrily: "No! How can it be ...... We are seven, you are three! ”

Grian: "......"

Jason: "......"

Sean: "......"

Others: "......"

After two hours of marathon negotiations, Old Satin and Jason were finally defeated by the cunning Grian, and the proportion was determined. Sixty percent of Grian's, forty percent of old Sardinia's farmers.

Sean once quietly asked Old Sardinia why he agreed to such an unequal treaty, not only to pay for it, but also to take such a small share.

Then Old Satin told him that if it weren't for Grian and the People's Army of the Wild West, which he had formed, all the farms would have been finished. And Grian wants so much money, and he doesn't keep it for himself. The soldiers under his command have been living a very hard life, hungry and full, their armor and long swords in their hands are tattered, and some of them are even barehanded......

Because of the need to raise funds, everyone was delayed at Jason Farm for two more days. Two days later, several farmers rushed to Jason's farm and handed over all the gold coins to Old Sardin, who was fully represented by Old Sartin, and then the group set off.

In addition to the five people of Sean and Old Sardin, there was also a small group of soldiers brought by Grian, a total of about a dozen people. The road was calm, and soon came to the town of Shining Gold.
