Chapter 165: Focus on the Crystal Mine

The rest of the process was thrilling, but the bear-like insect was finally caught, and it fell into the huge pit that the workers had dug urgently.

The pit was covered with leaves and leather, and it was more than half a meter thick, and a huge net of hemp rope was also arranged, which restrained the falling miners and could not move, let alone escape.

"Hiss~hiss~" screams kept coming out of the net, and although it sounded strange, anyone could hear the horror contained in it.

Rollin's armor had been eaten up by this guy, so he temporarily found a robe to put on his body, and when he heard Dai Wei's words before, he asked, "In your opinion, what price will the dwarves pay for this worm?" ”

At first, Luo Lin wanted to study the worm by himself, but now that the dwarf has a mature method, and his gold and manpower are not sufficient, especially the time is still very tight, he decided to sell the mine worm to the dwarf to maximize the short-term profits.

Dai Wei shook her head: "I don't know the specific situation, I just know that it is very precious." However, there is a dwarven weapon shop in the Vendôme business district, which can be contacted by calling the dwarves in guò. What is the specific situation, when the dwarves come, we can test it. ”

"Makes sense." Rollin called out to a personal soldier: "Benny, you go to Vendôme to deliver the message, and say that we have found ...... here"

"Treynilla. This is the dwarven name for the mineral worm, which means holy worm. Dai Wei interjected.

"Yes, just Trenilla, keep it secret." Rollin instructed.

"Yes, my lord." Benny saluted, then climbed on his horse and set off. Don't delay for a moment.

But although I caught the miner. But the situation inside the mine is still not understood. The workers who ran away before have also been recovered.

The workers were still the color of the earth. His eyes were scattered, he was really frightened, and Luo Lin was not stingy, and after the six people came, he distributed gold coin rewards, and gave out the bereavement pensions of the other four dead workers.

The yellow-orange-orange luster of the gold coin was obviously very soothing, and the workers squeezed the gold coin tightly, although their bodies were still a little trembling. But there was already life in the eyes.

One of them boldly said to Luo Lin: "My lord, we have basically reached the end of the mine just now, and there are not many mines inside. We wanted to turn back, but the bug burst out of a dark tunnel......"

The man's eyes flashed with fear and fear, he swallowed his saliva, took out a light blue transparent stone from his coat pocket and held it in his hand: "My lord, in the mine, we found a stone like this, it is very hard, and it can be used to easily engrave words on the surface of the knife."

Rollin took the stone and looked closely. This thing is pale blue in color and highly transparent. But when the light hits into it, there is a big deflection, indicating that the refractive index of this thing is extremely high. Flicked it lightly with his fingers, making a 'ding' crunching sound.

The wisdom brain sent a message about this thing: unpolished sapphires, of excellent quality, can be used as spell focusing crystals, and are extremely valuable.

Before Luo Lin could finish reading the message, Dai Wei on the side had already let out a soft shout: "Luo Lin, this is ......"

Rollin interrupted Dai Wei with a wave of his hand, then put the stone away, then turned to the workers: "Do you still have this thing on you?" Give it all to me, Master Dai Wei seems to have made some discoveries, maybe she can find the effect of this stone. ”

Several workers shook their heads and said in a leading manner: "We found this piece." ”

Luo Lin looked at these people carefully, and saw that they were all trembling with fright, and they all clenched the gold coins in their hands tightly, so they should not have the heart to lie in such a state, so he nodded: "I know." You're doing a great job, you're tired today, go back and rest for three days, and I'll pay the salary as it is. ”

"Thank you, Lord Lord." The pale faces of the workers showed a hint of joy, and one by one they ran impatiently in the direction of the town.

Rollin was in no hurry to study the sapphire, and if the mine did produce sapphires, then the fact that the lord was set on fire a hundred years ago would be explained. Therefore, the affairs of the mine should also be highly confidential, and the wealth is moving.

He first arranged for ten personal soldiers and Narosa to take care of the miners, and then said to Davi, Lu Fei and the others: "Let's go, let's go back to the town first." ”

A group of people return to the town that is still under construction. In small towns, small buildings have been completed, but large buildings, such as the Lord's Palace, are also made of wood, but they are large in size, have floors, and have a choice of materials, so the construction speed is much slower.

However, even so, the main structure has been completed, and judging by this progress, it should be completely completed this evening. Luo Lin also has a task of releasing the initial construction of the territory with a smart brain, rewarding skills and experience, which he is still very much looking forward to.

When he arrived at the Lord's Mansion, Rollin immediately called Horn and Harrington over, as for the wolf, this guy is now the leader of Rollin's own soldiers, and his brain is too straight, so many secrets don't need to be known to him. The wolf himself understands this, so he is relieved to be the leader of his own army.

In the room, Rollin took the sapphire back and placed it on the table: "If I'm not mistaken, this thing is a sapphire, right?" He looked at Davi.

Dai Wei nodded: "It is indeed a sapphire, and it is an almost flawless gemstone, you see its luster, crystal clear, just like a drop of water, as long as it is polished a little, it is a perfect spell focusing crystal, which is a necessary material for making a strong staff, such a piece is worth more than two thousand gold coins!" ”

Saying this, except for the two elves in the room who didn't react much, Horn, Harrington, and Eldmund all gasped, and their eyes widened, all staring at the sapphire on the table.

"This sapphire was found in the mine?" Horn's eyes lit up, he originally thought that this basin was a barren land, but with the secret passage of the cave and the precious minerals, this turned out to be a treasure land!

Luo Lin nodded: "It was found in the mine." The production of sapphires hasn't been determined yet, but I don't think it's much, and this is an abandoned mine. ”

Of course, the specifics will have to be mined to find out.

The crowd began to discuss the secrecy of the sapphire mine again, and this matter must be controlled. Failure to do so may lead to unexpected trouble.

"What about the workers?" Horn asked. These people must also be shut.

"It doesn't matter. They are all bachelors. I got the gold coins, and I gave them a holiday, and if I didn't want to talk about it, I should spend time in the tavern in the town with the secret prostitutes. Just keep an eye on them and don't let them out of town. Harrington, you can send someone to do this. "Rollin had a plan for a long time.

"Yes, my lord." Harrington is the leader of the scouts, somewhat similar to the Spy Chief.

That's it.

Rollin concluded: "The mine is just an embellishment. Now we are still focusing on improving our strength. Horn, we need more soldiers. ”

Now there are only more than 300 soldiers in the entire territory, and they have reached a bottleneck, but more than 600 horses have been purchased, and 500 pairs of armor have been brought by Bernard and Homlin, and the supplies are greatly overflowing, and the soldiers are still too few.

Horn nodded: "Alpine Town has almost run out of young people to use, but I have already sent people to the Vendôme slave market to buy young and strong slaves, and within a month, I should be able to buy a thousand." ”

Of course. A thousand men was still too many, and the number of cavalry that Rollin expected to build was between six hundred and eight hundred. This is the upper limit of what his current financial resources and time, as well as his current position as a baron, can allow. No matter how much it is, even if Lord Vendôme is confused, he will definitely not be able to tolerate him.

However, a large number of people is not a bad thing, and he can recruit on the basis of merit. In terms of recruiting soldiers, Luo Lin's requirements are very strict, what he wants to build is an elite, and because of this, the entire Gaoshan Town has only recruited three hundred people, but these more than three hundred people are born with elite levels, all of them are tigers and wolves.

"Yes, yes. But be careful to buy in batches and don't draw attention. ”

"Understood."

Horn was doing things, Rollin was still very relieved, and when things came to this, everyone dispersed and went their own way.

When everyone was gone, Lu Fei whispered to Rollin, "Come to my wooden house later, the potion will bear fruit." ”

Rollin was overjoyed and nodded in agreement.

At this time, it was already afternoon training time, and Luo Lin began to gather soldiers to start training in accordance with the regulations, and each soldier needed to train a lot of items, especially riding, which was the top priority.

The training is very hard, but fortunately, the biggest advantage of the soldiers in Alpine Town is that they are tenacious, especially able to endure hardships, and they are also very simple-minded, never lazy, and they do not have the slick character of a young man from a big city like Vendôme. As a soldier, it couldn't be better.

In addition, as a lord, Luo Lin has been training with the soldiers from beginning to end, eating together, and there is basically no special treatment, so no one has any complaints, all of them are extremely hardworking, and of course the progress is also rapid.

While training, Rollin suddenly received the voice of Zhi Brain.

"Mission: Build a Primary Territory Completed"

You have acquired the shield skill: Undefeated Barrier

Undefeated Barrier: The power of anger turns into an impenetrable barrier that defends against attacks from any direction. Cost Potential: 80.

You have gained 10,000 experience points

Your level has increased by one level, and you are currently level 25.

Your level has increased by one level, and it is currently 26.

After getting a new combat skill and being promoted two levels in a row, Luo Lin was overjoyed, he looked up in the direction of the territory, and sure enough, the lord's mansion had been completely completed. A new, vibrant town is bathed in the golden sunshine of dusk, the smoke has risen, and children are running and playing freely.

Rollin's heart was full of a sense of accomplishment, but then it was gloomy, if it weren't for the imminent invasion of the orcs, he really wanted to settle down and manage this territory well, but it's a pity.

This mood only lasted for a moment, and then he turned to the soldiers who were sweating like him and yelled, "Today's training is over, the whole team!" Get ready to go home! ”

Tong Guò these days of training, these soldiers have a concept of discipline in their minds, the initial kind of loose air has been completely washed away, as soon as they heard the order, within five seconds, they lined up, led their war horses, and stood behind Luo Lin in a neat and orderly manner.

Rollin was very satisfied with this: "Get on the horse and return to the camp!" ”

"Bang", the soldiers all got on their horses and began to step back to the camp, at this time, the problem of insufficient training was reflected, the soldiers' riding skills were really bad, there were horses running around, the speed was fast and slow, although the soldiers shouted again and again, but it was still useless, walked less than 100 meters, the original neat team began to mess up.

In this regard, Luo Lin has patience, it has only been ten days, he still has half a year, although the training of the army must be strict, but he can't be in a hurry, but for a few who are too bad, he still has to be punished.

When a large group of cavalry returned to the camp, it was no longer the same, and Rollin began to announce the punishment.

"Tony, Woodson, Oligon, the three of you have the worst riding team, and all the team members sleep in the stables for three days!" This is Luo Lin's punishment measure, sleeping in the horse shed, sleeping with the war horse, can also be regarded as enhancing the tacit understanding of people and horses.

"Yes!" The three captains obeyed orders with their faces on their shoulders, which was really a bit humiliating.

"Garad, Lawson, Abel Khan, the team led by the three of you has trained well, and the whole team will eat with a leg of mutton for the next three days."

The three captains and their soldiers were suddenly full of joy, this is not only a reward, but also a face, haha.

Of course, there are penalties and rewards, and this is the motivation.

However, Luo Lin's memory and observation are very amazing, and with the help of the brain, he will not make mistakes at all, and the soldiers are convinced, and before he knows it, Luo Lin has established a solid prestige in the army.

"Alright, disband."

Luo Lin did not rest, got a large bucket of water, washed his body, put on clean clothes, cleaned himself up, and hurried to Lu Fei's house.

The potion has been completed, I wonder what the effect will be? (To be continued......)
