Chapter 103 Heishui River Development Project Step 2 (1)
Tior's words made Langdon understand too much, such as the true face of Caterina, such as the internal strife of the Wall family, such as the fact that this beautiful captive seems to have fallen out of favor in the family, and so on.
Langdon then found that it seemed to be in his best interest to send someone to the Wall family to talk about Tior's redemption, as Theol had said.
However, even if you want to do it, you can't do it now.
Soon after the end of the war, it was not certain whether the Wall family had really given up on Tior, in case someone from this side had just been sent out and someone from that side had also come, it would not have been in vain.
And Langdon is now unavailable, he has more men, but there are not many who can really be trusted.
Three girls are definitely four, if Avina is still around.
Then there are the five Dark Elves, who were the first to follow Langdon, and their loyalty has risen to 80-100, which can be trusted.
In addition, the lizardman leader Kazvito and the dark elf Cahill are barely half of them.
So, even if Langdon were to send someone, he would wait until the Larry brothers returned.
In addition, there is another problem, that is, Tior himself, who can be forced to ask Langdon to send someone to the family to talk about redeeming himself, it can be seen that Tior is really anxious, but for Langdon, this is not enough.
So, after arranging for someone to take care of Tior, Langdon put the matter down for the time being.
He now has more important things to do.
Zora had returned with the Hoflan family mission, and the two sides had agreed on a place for the transaction, which was a passage at the junction of the two parties.
This is the first trade in the territory, Langdon attaches great importance to it, and simply asked Zhu Lingqi to personally take the troops to send each other, counting the days, the caravan should have arrived near the trading place, and it is even likely that the transaction has been completed.
Langdon was already a little impatient, because as soon as the supplies arrived, he would be able to start the next step.
The main target of the next plan is still the Blackwater River.
Although there are several mines in the Zomas, and the reserves are not low, it is impossible to develop the mines on a large scale with the existing population of the territory, so Langdon, who is in dire need of more trade, still has the idea of hitting the Blackwater River.
This was actually planned for a long time, but because of the sudden war, many things in Langdon's plan were greatly advanced, which did cause some minor troubles, but from another point of view, this is not an opportunity.
A few days later, Zhu Lingqi led the team back, and the transaction was very successful, and there was no trouble, especially on the side of the Hoflan family, Zola personally led the caravan, and even let the escort force leave a considerable distance during the transaction, which can be said to have given Langdon enough face.
But if you think about it, it makes sense, Langdon is a new nobleman in this neighborhood, with great potential, but at the same time, he is a member of the Isis family, and this identity alone is enough for the other party to value him, not to mention, the goods he took out were grain.
In the trade of the underground world, grain can definitely be regarded as the hardest currency, and even some forces use grain as currency.
Langdon carefully examined the supplies, then had three of them transported into the warehouse, and he himself took the iron ore and the other to the blacksmith's shop.
Victor's blacksmith had two more apprentices, from the group of black dwarves who had taken refuge, and another one was set up next to his blacksmith's shop.
With the increase in the population of the territory, the production capacity of one blacksmith shop must not be enough, and now it has increased to two, and there is cooperation and competition between each other, which is a healthy development.
At this time, the two old blacksmiths on both sides gathered on Victor's side, and watched Langdon explain the blueprints in his hand like the students.
The content of this design is far less impressive than the small gear of the last time, and it is not difficult to build it with the strength of two old blacksmiths.
After Langdon's explanation, the two old blacksmiths met with each other again, and it was decided that Victor would make the locks and winches for the drawbridge at the gates, while the other old blacksmith named Hetis would make the hooks.
When it comes to the difficulty of building, it is definitely the claw hook that is more difficult, it is like a palm, the size is more than a grinding disc, it needs to have five fingers, and the tips of the five fingers must be sharp, and there must be a certain degree of flexibility, just like the general finger fist, of course, it does not need to be so sensitive, but it also needs to be quite technical.
The two old blacksmiths were in the middle of the match, but Victor still chose the iron lock and the winch, because he knew very well that although these things were not easy to make, they were far more important than the claw hook, which was related to the safety of the territory.
And as the person Langdon trusts more, of course, this heavy responsibility should be borne by him, not to mention, since the last time he saw Langdon build that gear and build it himself, some other things with low difficulty have not aroused his old man's interest.
Langdon didn't stay here long, after leaving all the iron ore to the two old blacksmiths, he took another kind of ore to the alchemy workshop, Avina left, and Langdon didn't have much time to spend on alchemy, so such a large-scale alchemy operation happened to be handed over to this alchemy workshop.
Knowing that the lord was there, the workshop owner, the dark elf Parek, came out with a few apprentices and assistants to greet him.
Alchemy is a delicate job, so it requires more manpower, at least a few assistants, and it is actually extremely irregular for a lonely person like Avina to conduct alchemy experiments, but there is no way to meet the regular requirements so that they have to do so.
"I wonder what the lord has ordered when he came this time?" Parek asked respectfully and flatteringly, since the last time Langdon seemed to casually tell him several alchemy material production points in the territory, and by the way, his attitude towards Langdon has become like this.
Langdon said, "You should be familiar with this, Jade Ore, I need you to help me purify them all to a purity of more than 90%, and refine them into a shape like this." ”
Langdon said as he placed a piece of paper in front of Parek.
Parek was stunned, then smiled bitterly: "Lord Lord, what you said is almost impossible to do, as far as I know, no one has ever been able to purify the water jade ore by more than 60%, and the other ......"
"Don't jump to conclusions, read all of this first. Langdon interrupted him with a laugh.
Parek was stunned, then suddenly became excited, picked up the paper like a treasure and looked at it fascinated, and actually forgot about Langdon on the side.
"Hehe, the stinky problem of people who do research. Langdon didn't mind, just shook his head and smiled, as if he saw his past in him, and then he turned away, everything was in place, and it was time to get ready to begin.
