Soon the first slaves were sent ashore, where they were taken separately by sex to bathe, eat, and then arranged to rest in wooden huts. Henry watched the whole process proceed in an orderly manner, and he turned to Hawke, who had just come ashore, and said, "My Admiral, this is up to you." Let these slaves go to rest, they can be tired along the way. I'm going to take care of a few things first. Hawke looked at the slaves' tired faces and said, "No problem, there is a group of barbarian warriors here who are enough to deal with the emergency." Hearing the captain's affirmative reply, he said to the dwarves, "Cagan, I heard that you found an iron mine in the forest?" And also found a somewhat mentally disturbed elven mage? ”

"Ha Luha, that's what I found when I was hunting. We dwarves have a special instinct for mineral deposits. It was a mine, and there were a few traces of mining around the open-pit iron mine, which I think were done by the werewolves in the past. And I also found a nervous genie there. The dwarf said with a smug expression.

"Then you can take me to see this vein now, and by the way, meet the elf who is not very mentally normal." As he spoke, Henry thought that this elf should be Bodean's navigator, and this guy could live alone here for more than 500 years.

Cagan touched his beard with a worried expression on his face and said, "No problem, but I want to warn you beforehand that the mage is really dangerous." I found a horrible cookbook in his house, and some small cakes and some messy things in the kitchen. Moladin my God! I only added those beautiful little cakes and fell to the ground, but Robert poured me the antidote in time, otherwise you might not have seen me. ”

Henry smiled and said to the dwarf, "Don't worry old friend, we're just going to check it out, I promise not to eat anything in his kitchen." ”

"Wise choice, let's go, the mine is a long way from here." With that, Cagan turned and led Henry towards the forest.

In early summer, the island is a bit lively, and various animals begin to recover. Along the way, a large number of birds flew over the sky and brought with them bird droppings, and Henry thought that maybe this was the reason why the land of the island was so fertile. If so many seabirds bring a lot of droppings every year, the fields can save even fertilization. The dwarf walked in front and cursed, "Damn it! Damn it! I hate these unhygienic birds. This is the helmet I just polished, and now it's all bird droppings. The truth shot them all down with a crossbow. ”

"Don't complain about Cagan, you'll love them later. The manure will make the crops rise better, not like in Belgoust, where the harvest starts to decline year by year after a few years of planting. Henry said comforting the grumpy dwarf.

The dwarf took out a cloth and wiped the droppings from his helmet and said, "You won't like them anymore when your city is built, because these birds won't know where to." They will turn your city into a giant. ”

Hyung slapped his forehead with his hand and thought, "Oh my God, this is a big problem, no one likes to live in a city where bird droppings fall from the sky at any time." He asked Cagan, "How did Baldur's Gate and other port cities solve this problem?" ”

"They keep some birds of prey in the city to keep them away. However, there are too many seabirds here, and the number of birds of prey is too small, so you should think of a way. The dwarf thought for a moment and then said to him. As Henry walked, he decided to raise birds of prey. This will balance the ecosystem around the island so that seabirds will not be overnumered, and second, it will allow you to form a new food chain that matches the characteristics of your druid profession.

After walking in the forest for more than an hour, I finally arrived at my destination. Cagan pointed to the mass of black-streaked stones on the ground and said, "Look here, the finest iron ore." With a little smelting, it can become steel. Henry crouched down and picked up a few pieces of ore, and when he looked closely, most of them were black and metallic, and he took out his dagger to test the hardness, and found that there was a strong magnetic force on it. He soon confirmed that it was a magnetite mine, and judging from its distribution, the reserves were huge, and it could run through the entire island to the bottom of the sea. "It's a vein with a lot of reserves, Cagan, if I give you a certain number of men, can you help me mine it?" The dwarf patted his chest proudly and said, "No problem, as long as the forest around here is cleared and an iron furnace is built, a large number of steel ingots will be smelted soon." And I'm happy to do that kind of work too. Henry looked at Cagan with some excitement and said, "Then tomorrow I will send you a thousand men to clear the forest, and then we will build a blast furnace on the slope of this mountain." ”

"Blast furnace? What's that? Cagan asked, confused.

Henry suddenly thought that most of the steel smelting techniques in this world were small workshops, and he hurriedly explained the basic principles of blast furnace steelmaking to the dwarves. Cagan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled and said, "Moradin is on top!" Henry, you're such a genius! I vow to make this the world's largest steel producer. Henry smiled and said, "Alright, my friend, now it's time for us to go see the elven mage." I still have a spell book from the last seizure, which should be his. When Cagan heard that he was going to see the mentally abnormal mage, he subconsciously touched his axe and said, "Forget it, you can go by yourself." He lives in a wooden house at the back of this hillside, and I am waiting for you here. Henry reluctantly stood up and walked alone in the direction of the hut.

Ten minutes later, he saw a forest hut. The house was very dilapidated, and the roof was leaking with several large holes. He stepped forward and knocked softly on the door, and the people in the room began to shout, "Get out!" You beasts. I'm not going to let you in. Henry said to the door, "Mr. Mage, please open the door, the werewolves on the island have been wiped out." And I found a spell book on the wreck of the ship. "You found my spell book?" The door was kicked open suddenly, and an elf with a gray beard and hair rushed out. "Of course, but you should know the value of this spell book. I hope you will exchange it for something equivalent. Henry took out a book from his dimensional bag and shook it. The elven mage stared at the book in Henry's hand and said, "Damn it! I shouldn't have gone to sea with Bodean back then. Well, I traded all my stuff for my books. As he spoke, he took off his cloak, then his robe, and at the end of his amulet. The naked elf shouted, "I've taken off all the magic items, now give me back my spell book." ”

Henry looked at this elven mage who said that he would take off, and he also felt that the other party's spirit was indeed a little problematic. Picking up a few magic items on the ground, the Neutral Archmage's robes, sacred cloak, and amulet "Wolf Spell" returned the book to the mage. The elf stood there and jumped around happily after getting the book, and he smiled and said, "It turns out that it makes people feel so easy not to wear clothes, and I have decided not to wear clothes again." With that, he cast a teleportation spell and disappeared. Henry was dumbfounded and thought: I hope he won't teleport directly to a crowded city, otherwise he will soon be written as a story by a bard. After collecting all the magic items, he turned back to the dwarves and returned to the village together.

When they returned to the village, they saw that all the slaves had been sent to sleep in wooden huts, and a dozen barbarians formed a patrol to patrol the outskirts of the village. Hawke saw Henry and walked over and asked, "How's it going?" What is the quality of iron ore? Are there many reserves? Seeing his nervous appearance, Henry smiled and said, "Don't worry, my Admiral, it's an open-pit high-grade iron mine." I took a rough look at the veins that lead to the seabed, and there are a lot of reserves. I decided to send a thousand men tomorrow to clear the surrounding forest first. Here's the ore I got back, you can take a look. Hawke took the ore with some excitement and took a closer look, he had been a captain for so many years, and he deeply understood how profitable an iron ore with rich reserves was. Moreover, as long as the territory has enough steel and food, no one will be able to get stuck in the neck of the lord lord. "It's really a good iron ore, and the iron content is very high." Hawke said as he handed the ore to the man next to him.

When Henry saw that everyone was here, he said, "Tomorrow morning all the slaves are gathered together, and I will announce something to the public." Now assign the task for tomorrow, Cagan, you take a thousand men with axes to cut down the trees around the forest. Robert, you take two thousand men and fifteen hundred women to take care of the fields. Hawke, you're in charge of leading the rest of the men to build the port and transform the village into a city. By the way, some sailors were organized to go fishing to improve the food of the slaves. Amy, you take five hundred women and take care of everyone's food. After seeing everyone nodding their heads to show that they understood the task, Henry said, "Then let's go back early today and rest, tomorrow will be very busy." With that, he went back to his house, took out a piece of parchment, and began to draw a map of the city.

A deep-water pier is first drawn, and then a large number of built-up areas are depicted around the entire pier. After planning the building area, a large amount of space was left to ensure that the roads were clear, and the last was the city gate and the city wall. After a simple design of an underground drainage system, this simple design is complete. It's just a rough sketch, but it's ready to begin. Tomorrow morning he was ready to announce to the slaves that twenty of the twenty who worked the hardest every day could become commoners, could acquire a piece of land and own their property. In this way, it only takes more than a year for him to convert all the slaves into territorial residents, which not only gets rid of the hidden dangers caused by the large number of slaves, but also improves their enthusiasm for work. He planned to gradually move the more than 10,000 people to the countryside around the island, leaving the cities free for scholars, craftsmen, merchants, and professionals with knowledge. In this way, a large number of immigrants from Baldur's Gate and Amm can be quickly strengthened.
