Chapter 118: The Road to Riches

If you want to get rich, you must first build a tree, build a house and build a warehouse.

After solving the big problem of faith, all that remains is construction.

There was little craftsmanship in the architecture of this era, especially on the island, where goblins and cave people would at best stick wooden stakes into the ground and cover them with two boards, and the orcs might have dug a window if they were better, but this was too far from Lear's request.

He wanted a large town, and even if the current conditions and funds were insufficient, he would need the prototype of a large town, and he had planned to leave it to the orcs to let it go, but after seeing the prototype of that refugee camp, he was left with nothing but despair.

He had no choice but to go into battle in person, and after trying it out, he found out that he didn't know anything, but fortunately, Ivo still had some experience in building large wooden houses, and under Lear's various strange requests, he finally tossed a decent council chamber out, which made Lear feel extremely frustrated.

These five or three rough workers are all good hands, but if they let them work, their IQ will not be online, and they still have to find a way to gather professional talents.

Lear looked at the subordinates who came and went in front of him, and helplessly found that 90% of his team was made up of non-human creatures, and after sending everyone to work, he sat alone among a bunch of goblin cavemen and wild boars, looking really like a lonely man.

It seems that it is necessary to start a new business.

In addition to construction, another important project was the development of resources, timber, stone, and known underground sulfur, which he had set out at the beginning, the development of the port, the town, and the mining area, but he also did not know how to proceed.

Finally Lady Luck Oh Yasha didn't abandon him (they are now completely converted), and there are a few guys in the goblins who are quite familiar with this piece, and they dig up pieces of sulfurous ore by digging stones, because the tools are enchanted with strong and sharp, so their efficiency is not too bad, but the final refining is for Lear himself.

He wasn't a warlock, and Lear could only do this level of refining for two hours a day without the help of tools and magic circles, and no sixth-level mage could do better in this situation.

Luna had come to his aid, but she was too small, and that little mana reserve was only enough to refine a piece of raw ore the size of a fist, but it was better than nothing.

In desperation, Lear decided not to carry out this pointless work, and ordered the excavated raw ore to be sent to the port to be loaded on ships, and when the port was built, he took the things out with him.

Because Landrig told him that both the port people and the Terrans had this kind of large-scale mineral trading field, and that they could try their luck in the refugee camps and slave markets, and that the most needed thing was people in the Misty Island, and the second need was people with skills.

The need for artisans in a nascent town is endless, and it's no exaggeration to say that Lear is now in a mess in his hands.

Needless to say, you take me, I'll take the money and mines, and let's go.

Before leaving, he left everyone except Mrak and Haag on the island, not even the orcs, because he wanted to bring as many people back as possible when he went out, and the cabin was so big, and one more person would occupy one more place.

In difficult times, you can't help but be careful.

As for security, I believe that's something that others need to think about.

Landrig once came to Lear after getting the chart, and he told Lear that Misty Isle was not only shrouded in a thick fog, but also that there was a continuous storm ocean ten nautical miles outside the island, and that unless the only correct shipping route was taken, any ship or creature that entered the waters of Misty Isle without permission would be swallowed up by the storm.

Because there are not only irresistible storms and monstrous waves on the stormy ocean, but also turbulent undercurrents and reefs under the surface of the sea, unless you dive all the way to the deep sea to avoid bad luck, but only high-level fish-people can do it, and the dark underwater world is difficult to discern the direction.

And the channel they are now taking has been blessed by Asha, ten meters away is the stormy waves, and here they are a clear sea, such a miracle that everyone except Lear can't help but kneel down and recite Asha's name, although Lear told them to believe that Asha doesn't need to be so troublesome, just remember the name of the god in their hearts at all times, but all of them insist on being so solemn and solemn.

Lear couldn't do anything about this.

The passage is several nautical miles long, and the sky is also obscured by a thick fog, which is difficult for anyone to find without the guidance of a chart, which also gives the passage a great safety guarantee.

Eating alone is the pleasure of eating, and a cake that anyone can take a bite of is easy to spoil, even if it is delicious.

This time, the destination was the border city, after all, Landrig was relatively familiar with it, and the sailors also expressed their willingness to bring their families to the island after finding a spiritual home, after all, they were lowly beings no matter where they were, and Lear promised that every sailor and their family would have their own house and property in the town that would be built.

Many of them are smart, especially after seeing the miracles of Yasha, many of them understand what is the best choice, and believe that the huge potential of Misty Island is also an important reason for them to make this choice.

The chart that Lear asked for from Yasha was not only around Misty Island, it included all the waters of the entire planet Croney, except for those towns and lighthouses that were established later, every route, every strait and even every whirlpool, there were detailed annotations, and with such a chart in Landrig's hands, he really had the vastness of the ocean.

The speed of the voyage was not very fast, and it took a month to get back to the border city, and when the white stone city appeared above the white line of the waves crashing on the shore, Lear knew that their destination had arrived.

The first thing to do is to dispose of the ore from the ship, and then Lear has to go to the Mage Guild to buy some blank scrolls.

This stay was too short for him to make scrolls to sell like he had done last time, so he only planned to buy some second- or third-level blank scrolls for his own use, and after the first battle, he was running out of scrolls left.

This is a big expense, and there are only more than 20,000 gold coins left on his body, and the gross weight of this batch of sulfur ore has reached nearly 5,000 pounds, and according to Landrigue's estimate, the estimated value can reach about 50,000 gold coins, but this requires finding a big customer, because the number is too large and may not be so easy to sell, especially if the other party lowers the price, he may have to suffer a loss.

Lear said that he had no objection to this, as long as he could dispose of it, after all, if he still wanted to recruit troops, he would point to the pile of stones, and he would not be able to do anything without turning them into real money.

While the sailors were unloading, Lear walked around the docks, where maritime merchants from all over the world, including port clans and rare fishmen, and some small transactions were completed directly on the docks, such as fresh water, food, and slaves.

The slave race was a mixed group of goblins, barbarians, orcs, elves, centaurs and even humans, all of whom were victims of war, and strangely enough, the guards at the port were not surprised by this, and did not take a second look at the slaves because they were of their kind.

The slaves were chained together and kept in cages like cattle or standing on makeshift platforms made of wooden boxes, and the slave owners or merchants pulled their teeth open and even took off their clothes to show the strength and health of the slaves.

Lear looked at them for a moment and then retracted his gaze, there was no existence in those slaves that he was interested in, even if he didn't mind being a savior, but those people didn't even have a light in their eyes to change their fate.

Those who have lost the courage and hope to move forward will not be pitied even by the wild dogs on the side of the road.

"Okay, Your Excellency, I'm going to go to the Chamber of Commerce now, there is no big buyer here who can eat our goods, I will stay here and watch, if it's okay, I hope you can go with me, after all, your mage status is there, and the transaction will be beneficial to us." ”

After instructing the sailors to load the ore into the trucks, Landrig made a request to Lear.

"Let's go, then. ”

Lear glanced at the newly landed slaves, and then walked out of the docks.
