Chapter 487: Card Want

In fact, the proportion of miners who are employed is not very high. This is a problem in the distribution of human resources in the empire, the number of professionals, after all, is too small, so the work of miners, even if it is very dangerous and requires strength, will introduce a large number of ordinary people.

Professionals are mainly responsible for the safety of ore veins, and ordinary people are responsible for collecting, using special equipment, although the speed is slower, but the cost is very low.

Xia He estimates that at the speed of ghosts and gods, most of the gold, jade, wood and stone can be hollowed out in five or six days, and the rest is scattered and small, so it is not a thing that can be mined in a year and a half.

In the blink of an eye, five days have passed, and the magicians of the county king, sure enough, come over every day to ask questions, and they are not free, they will give some gifts to Xia He, which are worth a lot of money.

Xia He smiled secretly, but he accepted them one by one, and when he explained them to the magicians, he was also very dedicated, and he would always say things that the magicians couldn't think of. In this way, the sorcerers of the county king were even more in awe of him. I even think it's worth the money.

Even Corleone felt that in addition to being cruel to the enemy, the blood mage was still a good person.

He just talks casually, and his subordinates will not have any complaints.

In five days, the golden jade wood stone was no longer visible, and the collection speed of the five ghosts and gods was too fast, even if the reserves of the golden jade wood stone were three times more than expected, they were still mined quickly.

The ghosts and gods can still exist for about five days, and at most six days, Xia He simply let the ghosts and gods collect the golden magic power primordial stones. Anyway, this thing is much more valuable than gold, and you won't suffer a loss when you pick it up, and you won't be fooled if you collect it.

On the eleventh day, Xia He didn't continue, the space in the ghost god's body had collapsed, and it could exist for more than an hour at most, so Xia He asked the five ghost gods to go underground to do some compensatory work, and create a little collapse effect on the mined-out position, imitating the disaster caused by the shaking of the earth.

Then, taking advantage of the last half hour when the ghosts and gods did not disappear, Xia He sent the five ghosts and gods to the upper space of the camp to open the way to the surface. This kind of passage itself is narrow, close to the ground, and blocked by ice and snow, so people who want to enter and exit too much cannot do it.

Anyway, it's all waste utilization, Xia He doesn't care, as long as the ghosts and gods are not idle before they disappear, he earns it.

Of these five ghost and god hours, Xia He made ten more, but he was not willing to use dragon and tiger dansha, and only used dragon blood ink to create a ghost and god scroll, which is more than 30 levels and has no epic realm. In the body of each ghost and god, the space is only three cubic meters in size, and the time of existence is only one and a half days.

The problem is that the price of this thing is not a fifth cheaper.

Xia He continued to steal gold ** power rough stones, ghosts and gods came and went frequently, and he was not seen, so he piled up the magic power rough stones in the upper space, and when he rested at night, Xia He went to fetch them.

Xia He didn't want to leave, although the ghost god was expensive, but now he was stealing the golden magic power rough stone, every cubic meter was a huge wealth, and it was cooler than robbery. It's a pity that the dragon blood ink on his body is only enough for him to last until the end of this month.

There is also the fact that Xia He doesn't want to do it too obviously, he will have to fight for it in the future, he has also made efforts, and he also has a territory here, and he will definitely have a share of the ore veins. If you mess it up now, people will feel that it is abnormal and will probe cause and effect.

The students were very happy, they went out to do tasks, and discovered many new species in the underground world. The Empire encourages students to do so, acknowledging their findings, even if it's a grass that hasn't been seen before and has no value.

In the last war in the Voodoo Forest, many people were rewarded for discovering new species.

But Xia He wouldn't just leave, he stayed for one more day, and sure enough, Corleone couldn't help but come over in person and took the initiative to ask Xia He's return date.

"Lord Marquis, your student has been here for a month, and you don't know when you will leave?"

"Are you driving me away?" Xia He frowned and said, "You already saw it when you came in, I built the Marquis's Mansion here, intending to build a territory. ”

Corleone smiled: "That's also a matter of the future, now there are nearly 100 students here, and the school can't do without you." ”

Xia Hedao: "You say this makes sense, but ......"

"Lord Marquis, do you need help?"

"That's not necessary, I'll send someone to ask the academy for help, and send more academy mercenaries over. ”

"Why is that?"

"The road is not smooth, if you don't go, my team is too small, and the mounts are ordinary reindeer, in case you encounter the demon army again, if you rely on me alone, the students are afraid that there will be losses." The last time I faced the legend alone, I was fortunate to have your legion here, otherwise I wouldn't have to be the headmaster. ”

He was so honest that Corleone didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Xia He said again: "According to the king sent you, there must be something important, and I don't dare to borrow troops from you, so I will stay for an extra month, and it will not be a big deal." ”

Corleon gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Marquis, you are now out of sight, although I can't lend you troops, but the chariot and the demon deer can fully support the adult, and give the adult two small magic cannons." ”

"How can this work, the use of magic cannons is attritional. ”

"It's a school sponsored by His Royal Highness the King of the County. ”

Seeing that Xia He's face was so cold, Corleone immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing. The Tenth Academy of Magic is not royal, that's the rule. The royal family cannot directly sponsor the academy, but it can, and that is the responsibility of the empire. The academy only leans towards the royal family, but it is by no means affiliated with the royal family.

It's okay for you to sponsor some schools below the third level, but you can't use the word sponsorship for the first, second, and third level colleges.

"Lord Marquis, you see, I can't speak, and that's not what the county king meant, I just want to help. ”

"Then in the name of sponsoring me, I can accept this. Anyway, I am a close confidant of His Majesty, and the entire empire knows that it is not a big deal to accept a sum of money from the royal family. ”

Corleone is aggrieved, in this case, Xia He inherits the emperor's favor, and has nothing to do with the county king.

But this statement is acceptable to everyone.

"I'll give you a list, you prepare the things on the list, you should also have the seal of the county king's retainers, let's act in official documents, so that others can't say anything. The House of Commons was staring at me so closely, I was a little scared. ”

Corleone smiled bitterly, at the Imperial Council, the blood mage dared to point his nose and scold, he was afraid of hair.

However, he understood this as a blood mage to save face, and now that Asra has become famous and is already a big nobleman, he naturally doesn't like to listen to some rumors.

It would be a shame to be said that the Marquis of Asra was pleasing the king of the county.

Anyway, he had to send the plague god away, and the blood mage didn't explain much magic in the last few days, and liked to wander around, which made him very uneasy. His students also wandered around, and if they found any clues, how could they not give it if he came to fight for the rights?

If you don't give it, the blood mage will leak the news, and it won't be long before all the nobles in the world will send people over to want a piece of the pie.

And these people don't have the courage to do anything to the blood mage.

So it's worth it now.

Xia He immediately wrote a list, including everyone's magic deer, the magic deer for transfer, four chariots, two small magic cannons, and although the steel golem didn't ask for it, he asked for a batch of magic muskets, plus some projectiles. Especially the projectile, which is quite expensive.

Corleone was not heartbroken, Xia He left him a large number of potions, all of which gave him a good price, which was only equivalent to one-tenth of the price of an intermediate healing potion. Xia He just told him explicitly that he couldn't change hands at a price higher than one-eighth of the intermediate healing potion.

Because he doesn't have too many of these potions on hand for the time being, if the king of the county doesn't do it authentically, he won't be able to put the potion in the market for the time being and lower the price. This is something that the Blood Mage does not like.

Corleone will not sell this potion, it is a big deal to digest it internally, it is two percent cheaper than the normal price, and the main amount is still very large, and the county king does not have to buy it again in recent years.

Xia He also changed hands on some unwanted scrolls, and did not ask for a price because of the high cost, and directly calculated the money according to the level and utility. this

Corleone was even more convinced that the Blood Mage really had no intention of staying, and was in a hurry to leave.

So when Xia He asked for black gold, he gave Xia He a batch of magic rough stones instead. In the end, he still prepared two hundred cavalry for Xia He, and asked the soldiers to help Xia He usually camp and stand guard or something. Two hundred more people is equivalent to two hundred more muskets, and Xia He accepted the help.

In this way, the team increased to more than five hundred, and Xia He did not leave anyone in his new territory, so he asked Corleone to help take care of it, and he blocked the temporary marquis's mansion, just to indicate his existence, and he would send someone over in the future.

When everything was said and done, suddenly a student ran into Xia He's tent and shouted, "Headmaster, headmaster!

Corleone was dizzy, so he listened to Xia Hedao: "No matter what ore vein he has, we have to go back, the matter of the ore vein, the county king will deal with it, we have a territory here, and we will share it when the time comes." ”

Xia He said it of course, Corleone was going to cry, he knew that he would be discovered by the other party, why did he pay so much to send him away?

Corleon said: "Lord Marquis, I won't hide it from you, there is a big mine of magic rough stones here. The king of the county will definitely not treat you badly, as long as you don't say it, how much can we take, and transfer the wealth first. What do you think?"

Xia He frowned and said, "How do you let me go for such a big thing?"

"I have the seal left by the king of the county, I can handle this matter, and the matter of benefit distribution will not disappoint you. But you're a student......"

"Just let him stay and do things for the county king. Xia He said immediately.

The student also looked embarrassed and said, "I found an iron mine, but I didn't see the magic primordial stone." ”
