Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Young Master Ai had a simple breakfast, and came to the lair of the Armed Forces Department of Shanjin Town, where he also met an old acquaintance...... Ryan!
"Hats off! Lord Iger! Thank you again for saving my life yesterday! Private Ryan greeted him warmly, and Egg beckoned to him.
Paul was a little embarrassed, he didn't have a good attitude towards Egg yesterday due to a lot of omnivorousness, and after learning from Ryan that the thin young man in front of him turned out to be a rare mage, he realized that his subordinate Claude was not just a strong man who was perfunctory, which made him very embarrassed...... What's even more embarrassing is that he actually snubbed a noble mage!
"Your Excellency Master Egger, I apologize to you for my recklessness!" Paul is a straight-tempered person, and although he is a little embarrassed to make a mistake, he can afford to put it down, and he apologizes directly!
Ai Daguan waved his hand: "Lord Paul is polite, I am still a trainee mage, I can't be called Your Excellency the mage, you can call me Egger!" ā
"Okay Egger! I guess Claude should have told you about it, right? ā
"Yes! Before he came, he said that there was some trouble in Shining Gold Town, and he needed to transfer manpower from him, but he now has limited manpower, so he remembered me! Because I have received his help before, I am a friend of his, so I will come here for a trip and improve my life experience and combat experience by the way! Iger nodded.
"Well, since you're Claude's friend and your own family, then I'll get straight to the point! There is indeed a situation on the side of Shining Gold Town, and some of the fighters were transferred by Stormwind City before, but now it is really short of manpower, and it is stretched everywhere. I need your help urgently, especially since you're a rare mage, and I'm sure you can help me a lot! ā
Master Ai, do you still know how to wear a high hat and a relationship? Forget it, I originally came to take over the task, so I should eat him! So he cooperated, as if he was anxious about his friend's needs, and listened......
"To the south of Shining Gold Town, there is a primary mine where many miners used to work, and it produces high-quality copper ore and other primary rare minerals, which are good materials for forging weapons and equipment. You know, there are several blacksmith shops here in Shanjin Town, and the weapons and equipment made from local materials are quite good......"
Mining? Well! Iger pondered, this professional skill is actually good, he can dig a lot of good ore, and if he is advanced, he can also dig Fuser ore, which is a good helper for the family to get rich in the game. His former thief had squatted in that land of right and wrong for a long time, and became the mining tyrant of that area, and even used a single brush to mine in the Black Stone Tower, which was quite profitable......
However, the premise of this qiÄ is that in the game, when there are a large number of players who practice blacksmithing, they can sell it at a high price in the auction house. If you really want to sell the system at the purchase price, it is definitely not a good errand!
So Egger just think about it, he will definitely not practice mining, he is a mage cloth, and he is a little shivering when he practices that!
"Recently, in the mining cave, I don't know why a large number of kobolds suddenly appeared, among which there seemed to be a leader-level kobold, who killed a lot of miners, and the others fled, some returned to the town, and some lived in other villages, all of them were unemployed. Originally, when my side made a move, of course, I could send soldiers to retake this mine, but now I am understaffed and cannot do so in a short time! But there are a lot of orders for weapons on the other side of Stormwind and Red Ridge Mountain, and now blacksmiths come to me every day to sit down......" Paul smiled helplessly.
"So, you need me to help me kill all the kobolds?" Young Master Ai asked in a confirmatory manner. The latter shook his head: "No, no! Of course I won't let you die for nothing, there are too many kobolds there, even if you are a powerful mage, but you are only a trainee mage, and you don't have the ability to sweep away all kobolds......"
This thing still hasn't learned to be well-behaved, it's good and not good, as long as I think of it, I will say it, completely ignoring the feelings of others......
"I hope Egger can help me scout first, find out how many kobolds are inside, and are there any more powerful guys?" Paul obviously didn't trust Egger's power, because from his eyes, this was the future mage, but now he was really only a first-order strength.
Hint: Paul has given you a mission to scout the mines, asking for information on the distribution of kobolds in the mines. After completing the mission, you will be rewarded with a small amount of experience and a small amount of copper coins! (In order to prevent this book from becoming a complete number of jù streams, the processing of numbers jù will be weakened later, otherwise everyone will be tired of reading and I will be tired of writing.) The description of this piece will be described in vague words, and only in special cases will specific numbers be written. Except for Hearthstone cards...... ļ¼
Although there is no reward that Iger can see, it is also a task recognized by the system, at least there must be a small increase in prestige, and according to his understanding, there is definitely a follow-up mission...... Pick it up!
"No problem, Master Paul! I'll be out soon! "He's also a doer, turn around and leave.
"Wait, Lord Egger! Captain, can I go with Lord Egger? He's a mage, I can still help him fight in front, after all, he saved my life! ā
Ryan took the initiative to ask for help at this time! Although Iger knew that he had good intentions, his own situation was special, and of course he didn't want to be a burden, so he immediately refused: "Ryan, I know your good intentions!" But I can do it myself, don't you still believe in my strength? ā
Paul on the side also helped: "Yes Ryan! This is just a reconnaissance mission, and I'm sure Mage Egger will be able to do it on his own. In addition, the East Valley Lumber Yard has come to me asking for help, and I am going to let you and a few soldiers go out at once to help that side. Progress at the blacksmith has stalled, and I don't want to stop the lumberyard work, if that's the case, then I'm sure I'll receive a letter of accountability from Stormwind soon! ā
"Yes! Sir! I'll be out right away! Ryan also knows that things can't be done, the style of a soldier, let him immediately enter the state of resolutely carrying out orders!
ā¦ā¦
Iger is not a soldier, so he has no such consciousness at all. He's going to be in Shining Gold Town, thinking about shopping around first, and then he's not in a hurry anyway, right?
Shining Gold is a small town...... This is actually nonsense! It's not so much a town as a choke point! The north of here is the direction of Beijun where Lin Tian came; To the northwest is Stormwind, which is connected by a large road to the town of Flashgold.
After all, it is a human metropolis, and there are definitely a lot of people in this direction, and this generation is relatively peaceful, and it is also the way for caravans to enter and exit Stormwind City after all, so there are always a large number of caravans with horse-drawn carriages, which pass endlessly on the main road, and there are even some scattered traveling merchants, peddling their homemade small goods along the way, such as Egger met a beautiful merchant who peddled Stormwind City bread to him, the eldest young master who slammed the door, spent 1o copper plates to buy a dozen people's ...... You know, a dozen is 12, and you need at least 12 copper plates to pack and sell!
To the east is also the main road, which is connected to the East Valley Lumber Yard, and Egg just watched Ryan take a few soldiers from Shining Gold Town, riding a freight ox cart built by YƬ, and hurried out of town!
A little further in this direction, there is also the largest horse training farm in the Elwyn Forest, which is said to be home to the supply of high-quality military horses to the whole of Stormwind. If the reputation is big enough, free mercenaries or adventurers can also buy a limited number of horses there, and the horse training farm is also responsible for the teaching of horsemanship...... It's just that everyone understands that the best sycophants must be given priority to Stormwind City, whether it is a nobleman or an army, of course, the priority is higher than that of the adventurer Gao Luo!
This road to the east, extending further into the distance, leads to Red Ridge Mountain and Night Town, which is still a little too terrifying for a first-order pink novice like Egger......
To the west, it leads to the famous Seoksen Fortress, and next to it is a beautiful tourist attraction such as Lake Spiegel...... It's just that when traveling here, you have to have considerable strength, otherwise even if there is a Xiquan Fortress to defend it, the Diafi thieves who infiltrate from the western wilderness will not miss the opportunity to hijack the rich in search of wealth!
In this troubled era that is definitely not a peaceful era, there is still time and energy to go around sightseeing, it must be the rich family who has eaten well enough to support it, and is the favorite fat sheep of the Diafi robbers...... It's definitely a very good side hustle!
Ai Daguan also visited the major shops in Shanjin Town by the way, in addition to the hotel where he settled, there are indeed several big shops here. For example, the owners of several major blacksmith shops who dared to sit quietly outside the door of Paul, the head of the sheriff, before they could not only make swords, but in fact, the weapons and equipment produced in Shining Gold Town were still very popular, at least in the fierce front-line battlefield of Red Ridge Mountain, most of the weapons and equipment came from here.
The so-called weapons and equipment, including not only swords, but also light weapons such as daggers, fist gloves, heavy weapons such as sledgehammers, heavy axes, long-handled weapons, etc., are all within the scope of the production of weapons shops, and they are licensed by Stormwind City and have obtained official business licenses...... Of course, just like the Dark Celestial Empire, I'm afraid there are a lot of insiders from this official license, right?
At least in the eyes of Ai Daguan, it definitely costs a lot of gold coins. Otherwise, those officials in Stormwind City, how can they have time to give you any business license?
