Chapter 14: The Market and the Blacksmith's Shop
Now, the cave people in the valley don't dare to mess with the stones, this may be their own cash cow! Stone led the team back and forth at the gates of the various cavemen, and at the end of the day, he really got the refuge of several caveman tribes, and the poll tax in the dungeon suddenly increased to nearly nine hundred gold coins. The stone was so happy that he walked as if he were walking on cotton.
As for the harpy tribe on the stone walls on both sides of the valley, the stones are not soft at all, and they will be destroyed if they do not surrender. The stone swept all the way along the stone wall of the valley, and only two of the two dozen harpy tribes surrendered, but it allowed the stone to harvest a large amount of gold coins and resources, and even some stone mines and timber, which slightly relieved the stone's urgent need.
When the stone was on the way, there were actually several tribes of cave people who gathered directly under the city and asked to join the city, and the city's income increased rapidly. Along the way, the team could look at the stones that had become abnormal and giggle, and at one point they were called "crazy stones" or something like that.
Back in Arest, Stone found that the number of inhabitants in the dungeon had reached more than 1,700 per week, which meant that he was now able to earn an additional 1,700 gold coins per week. Compared to the deserted beginning, the entire dungeon has become much more lively in just a few days, but it has also become much more chaotic and dirty.
One of the most representative points is that there are more lumps of things on the streets. And the number of creatures fighting in the streets is also starting to increase!
As a last resort, Stone had no choice but to form a security team, appointing a minotaur named Toulon as the sheriff, leading a small team of harpies to investigate, and a team (twelve) of cave people to serve as errand coolies. This position can be said to be more than enough to maintain law and order.
As for the creatures who dared to excrete a lump of objects on the street, after grabbing the stone, they were smoked half to death without saying a word, and then fell at the gate of the city and hung up all night.
From then on, no one dared to excrete on the streets. Although the cave where the caveman lives is still very dirty and messy, at least the streets of the city are very clean and tidy, and no one likes to go to the cave where the caveman lives anyway, and it doesn't matter how dirty it is, at most it will be better to build a mushroom ring there in the future.
With timber and stone mines, the stone returned to the city and a blacksmith shop was built immediately! Dungeon forces have a bonus.
That is, there are many creatures who are proficient in mining and blacksmithing, cave people are born hard laborers, and minotaurs are born blacksmiths. Don't look at the stupid appearance of these two creatures, but the cavemen's mining skills can be compared to the dwarves, but they are much more cost-effective than the second-order dwarves.
As for the minotaurs, although they look three big and five thick, simple and stupid, no one can tell that they are natural blacksmiths. Although the level of forging is a bit biased, limited to forging axes and armor, it is also an ability! In the entire dungeon, the only weapon in his hand is the Minotaur. After all, they're using tomahawks!
Stone selected a few minotaurs from the ranks of the minotaurs who were interested in the blacksmith, the great cause, and filled them into the blacksmith shop, which would soon be operational.
The role of the blacksmith shop is still very large. That is, the hero of the stone can finally build strategic treasures. As the three strategic treasures that heroes must have, catapults, medical tents, and ballistas play a huge role in battle. Often in a battle, they will be the focus of the enemy's fire, and of course, the hero's key protection.
The first strategic artifact Stone chose to build was the catapult, and Stone remembered York's advice to practice the catapult to the point of pointing and hitting it. Stone is still very greedy for the heroic skill of "siege".
However, it took some time for the catapult to be built, and during this time the title "Crazy Stone" became popular - at first it was only called the boulder, but then everyone thought it was very appropriate, and the stone was indeed a little crazy. The stone wanders around the doors of the cave people every day, and occasionally runs in to persuade a few words, and Lala is homely. As for what to say, of course: "The Minotaur and the Cave Man are one family, and the fish and water are affectionate." "Comprehensively promote the political, economic and cultural construction of the dungeon and create a harmonious society!" "Don't take a stitch from the cave people!" The effect of a kind of slogan is still obvious, and in a month's time, thousands of cave people have joined.
At the end of the month, the income of the dungeon was not much, but it was still very considerable for the newly built Arest City, with almost 4,000 gold coins, which was continuous, unlike the stone that was seized now, it was the wealth accumulated by the plundering tribe for decades, and it was completely rootless.
On the streets of Areste City, the stone wandered around the street alone, looking extremely lonely. Stone is extremely depressed now, he has been running around for so long, and today is a rare day off, and Stone wants to call Juyan and Yaya to go around the city, but he refuses. Juyan said that he was going to get a good time exercising, and Yaya said that he was going to go shopping with the black dragon Yulia. "Alas!" The stone turned and entered the market in the corner of the dungeon.
The market is not at all empty as Stone imagined, but actually bustling and busy. Only then did the stone remember that there were more than 100 gold coins in the transaction tax in the income at the end of the month, and the root cause was here.
It's just that when I saw the things I traded, I almost blinded the eyes of the stone.
What is this, the spear that the minotaur himself made for the cave people was actually made by the sheriff Toulon appointed by the stone; Medusa's hair, the billboard actually says health care and beauty; The eyelashes of the evil eye are known as the toughest ropes...... Of course, most of the people who are busy in the market are cave people, and most of the things are them, the various resources they dig out from mining, as well as the big mushrooms they grow, and the pigs and beasts they raise......
What surprised the stone even more was the strange area in the corner of the market, where there was really anything to do! What is the bone of the black dragon, the tail of the flying dragon, the treasure of the human race, the treasure of the dungeon...... The prices are extremely high, and there are some cave people who seem to be unfathomable and virtuous next to the stalls, all of them are old and have withered faces, sitting on the bench, and they seem to be dying when they touch it.
The stone was furious in his heart, isn't this all a lie. Stone walked to a stall, pointed to the thing called the black dragon bone, his face barely made a warm face, and asked, "Is this really the bone of the black dragon?" ”
