Less than half a day after Beon left, Horn came over again, and he came to ask about the renovation of the alchemy room.

"I heard what you said from the master, and I think it makes sense." Horn said, his knowledge is much higher than that of the half-otaku Biang, he continued: "Actually, there are many small workshops on the island that also have this idea, but everyone is not very clear and confused, but when you say this, I think it suddenly clears. I think we need to promote it well. ”

Luo Lin shook his head: "It's not too busy to make it public, but the blacksmith shop that crafts equipment can be improved in the same way." With Master Bion, you also have to help keep it secret. ”

In this world, in this era, this method is the weapon of the country, how can it be shown lightly? At least until they are good at playing on their own, and all kinds of things are scaled up, and they have established an absolute advantage.

When the time comes, it will be nothing for others to learn it, because the island of Fix is already far ahead, and they are already on the commanding heights of what they produce cheaper and of better quality.

Originally, Luo Lin didn't want to talk about these things, but now that the undead are too strong, and the productivity level of this world is too weak, if he doesn't make some big moves, then even if he defeats the undead, he can't continue to fight against the demon army behind.

Horn has great talent, he understands a little bit, pondered for a while, and smiled: "In this way, in a few years, our forging methods may be able to catch up with the dwarves." ”

"Dwarves?" Rollin shook his head: "Those dwarves who like to dig caves are all crazy, and they have many strange forging techniques. According to the method I said, I can only increase the manufacturing speed, but I can't improve the forging level. Divine weapons still have to be forged by dwarves. ”

Horn thought carefully and nodded in agreement with Rollin's words: "That's right." It seems that the various secret recipes are still worth their money. Maybe it's worth more. Maybe we should organize a group of people to collect all kinds of craft secrets. ”

"You can do it." Rollin had to admire Horn's brain, which is probably the world's earliest official commercial espionage.

The two began to discuss the details again, and finally decided that it was in the crucial military workshop. Adopt a new way to forge weapons, battle armor, saddles, and even clothes, military coverings, and try to build ironclad ships at scale with this new thinking.

Of course, there will be a lot of gold invested in this.

At the end of the discussion, Rollin and Horn smiled bitterly at each other, and Horn spread his hands: "It seems that I have to borrow money from Iona's dragon vault again, which will cost at least millions of gold coins." There is also interest, and I don't know when and when it will be paid off. ”

Luo Lin smiled: "The gold coins can't be paid off, you can use other things to pay it back." And the means of doing business are ever-changing. For example, when Fix Island becomes the mainland's vault, we will be able to mint gold coins. It will take a few decades. Reduce the gold content of this thing slightly, and you don't need to reduce it too much, and you can quietly smooth out the interest. ”

He took out a gold coin in his hand and tossed it up and down, this is a standard gold coin, one is about twenty-five grams, the purity is acceptable, issued by the various royal families. Rolling's argument is not new. The royal family on the mainland often played this way.

Originally, ninety percent of a gold coin was gold, and 100 pieces were owed, but now the gold content has dropped to ninety. Then plus the interest, as long as the number of gold coins repaid is less than 110, then it is earned.

That's the benefit of having minting rights, hehe.

Horn was born in a civilian family, so he didn't know much about this, so he thought about it carefully for a while. Then he was dumbfounded and stammered, "Can this work?" Iona would have seen it. ”

I've never seen such a scoundrel robbing money.

"She? She saw that it was unlikely. Years later, Iona would get used to using a clerk. She only cares about the amount of gold. Even if she finds out and doesn't want to, so what? Rollin put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and smiled faintly.

If they really get the right to mint coinage, it means that they have the power recognized by the whole continent, and this power is fundamental, and at that time, will they be afraid of a frost dragon?

I'm the one who robbed you, what can you do? Even if I pay my bills, what can you do? I won't accept and beat you!

Say 1,000 to 10,000, trace back to the root, or look at strength.

Hearing this, Horn let out a long breath, his understanding of the world became clearer, and he nodded lightly: "I understand." ”

Rollin patted Horn on the shoulder and smiled, "Of course, this is a last resort. There's really no way to use it. Credit is still the most important thing, this is the long-term way, otherwise when it is difficult in the future, no one will lend us money, haha. ”

Horn was stunned by what Luo Lin said, and could only spread his hands with tears and laughter: "Lord, you are the one who says that you are the one who pays the debt, and you are the one who says the credit, I really convince you." ”

"I'm improvising." Rollin laughed.

Horn laughed: "Then I'll organize the fleet." As you say, I'll try to find an elite crossbowman. ”

"Go ahead."

Horn was gone, and in the evening Beon came again and gave a list with a clear description of the cost, twenty thousand gold coins.

Another big sum of money, Rollin smiled wryly, and wrote a note asking Bion to find a woman named Iona next to Vianna.

As a result, Rollin owed Iona another 20,000 gold coins.

With the gold coins, the transformation proceeded smoothly, and at noon on the fifth day, Bion ran in like crazy, and when he saw Rollin, he shouted: "Unbelievable! Disastrous! It's amazing! ”

"What's the situation?" Rollin asked.

"The refining speed of the potion is too fast, and in half a day, all the raw materials I have accumulated have been used up." Sweating profusely, Bion took out another list: "As you are, I have made it in oak barrels, and now I have three barrels!" Here's the list, I'm going to buy a lot of raw materials with gold. ”

Rollin took the list and looked at it, the amount of an oak barrel, the material cost was two hundred gold coins, which was quite cheap, and after estimating it, he simply wrote an IOU of fifty thousand gold coins to Iona, so he owed a total of seventy thousand gold coins.

"If the materials are sufficient, how many potions do you estimate I can get by the time?" Rollin asked. The current business environment on Fix Island is still good, and it should be possible to buy enough raw materials from the market, and the materials of the Elixir of the Necronebusis are very ordinary, nothing more than Sun Grass, Thorn Algae, and Coptis Root, which are very common.

Even if it is not enough, you can collect it urgently, and there must be many people who are willing to collect it.

"There are five days to go, and I don't think there's anything wrong with fifty barrels." This was something that Bion had never dared to think of before, but he had witnessed it with his own eyes, and in addition to being amazed, it was the respect for the Count in front of him.

The Earl is so well-informed, and he has learned such a good thing from the dwarves. This was the idea in Bion's heart, but he didn't know that the dwarves' understanding of the division of labor was not very fine, and if they really wanted to talk about it, it was far less profound than Luo Lin's understanding.

"Fifty barrels...... Barely enough. Rollin nodded.

So, Bion took the IOU written by Rollin, found Iona, and took Iona's gold coins, and began to buy materials on a large scale, and then immediately put them into refining, and the work was in full swing.

Time flew by, ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and Horn lived up to his trust, collecting a full 120 merchant ships, exceeding expectations.

The three ironclad warships, in order to guard against the flying class of the undead, each ship carried 300 crossbowmen, 300 archers, in addition to artillery, but also deliberately moved the bed crossbow.

In case of accidents, each ship is manned by a strong man. Lorraine guards the flagship, Narosa is the second, Iona is the third,

The sailors who sail the ship are also warriors, and each warrior has been selected, and they are all ruined by the undead, and they hate the undead to the bone, but they don't have much feeling for the orcs, which minimizes the possibility of hatred causing accidents.

In this way, each ironclad battleship has nearly 900 combatable men, plus sharp equipment, sixty barrels (Bion expected to be bad) necromancer potion, and each ship is also equipped with three additional magicians to assist, and the strength should not be underestimated.

Rollin believed it was enough to deal with a possible volley from the undead.

Before embarking on the ship, Rollin once again instructed Bion to continue producing and improving the Necromesis, for which he borrowed 200,000 gold coins from Iona and gave them to Bion.

Then, as soon as Qiē was ready, the fleet headed for the south. (To be continued)
