Chapter 374: The Value of a Tree
On a volcanic island, under the City Tree.
Ward heard Ades' inquiry, and with an expression on his face that you don't understand, he opened his mouth and replied, "There is not much Mithril, probably less than five pounds, and there are some pure gold, I am afraid it is about three pounds." ”
"That's not a lot of money, you must know that the magic furnace is open like this, and all that is lost is energy, although our energy doesn't cost money, but if we change to a general magic tower, it's not cost-effective. ”
Ward still looked disgusted, and said directly: "You don't understand, you must know that among these alloy ingots, the most are iron and copper, and you didn't count this part." ”
Ades slapped his forehead, which was completely misled by Ward, and at the beginning he only said gold and silver ingots, making him forget that the alloy ingots were mostly iron and copper.
"Ward, you did it on purpose. Ades put his arm around Ward's shoulder, grabbed his arm hard, and said fiercely.
Beside her, Winnie was snickering with her mouth covered, and from the very beginning she had noticed that Ward had deliberately failed to tell the full composition of the ingots, and that she had done it on purpose.
"Ade, don't use your strength, I'm a mage, not you melee ......"
Although Ward's physique is stronger than that of ordinary mages, he can't help but toss a melee class with far more strength than ordinary people.
"Okay, Ade, let me tell you the number of iron and copper ingots, in the past month, we have not completely used the alloy ingots in the secret room, some of them are ordinary metal ores bought directly from the Black Iron Port, and a total of 30,000 pounds of iron ingots and more than 20,000 pounds of copper ingots have been decomposed. ”
Ades calculated in his mind. Looking at Yunni in some surprise, she opened her mouth and asked, "So much?"
Yun Ni nodded and said, "Actually, these iron ingots plus copper ingots, as well as most of the silver ingots from the gold mine. It's enough to cover the cost of the magic furnace, including the cost of the energy part, which we calculate based on the energy consumption of a normal magic tower.
As for the remaining 100 pounds of gold ingots, Mithril and Adamantite, it is a complete profit, about 80,000 to 100,000 gold coins. ”
"Actually, this is just the beginning, we are not proficient yet, and we have not tried to refine some magic alloys. If you refine magic alloys, the profits can still be doubled a few times, but this is also because of the alloy ingots in the secret room. When those alloy ingots run out, the profit is not so high. ”
Although Ward was caught by Ades's shoulder, he also added to Yunny's explanation that most of the profits in these metal ingots were due to the alloy ingots that the demon had refined from the magma before.
"There will be alloy ingots later. As long as it's there. Adès listened to Ward. Let go of his shoulders and turn back to the City Tree behind him.
"Oh, it can produce metal ingots now?" Ward and Winnie are both magicians, and they are also very aware of some of the talents of the City Tree, and the dark elves in the underground use the root system of the City Tree to absorb the metal particles in the magma, and when they gather more, they will naturally form alloy ingots.
"It should be about the same, it depends on when it will reach maturity. Adès turned and looked up at the leaves in the air.
Ward also looked up like Ades, and when he saw the huge canopy, he knew what Adès was talking about. The leaves of the City Tree are not green underground, and it should be said that they are not predominantly green.
Its leaves are black. The veins on the leaves will be red, of course, the city tree that has been transformed by the druids on the surface will turn dark green in order to adapt to the growth on the surface, and when it is completely mature and absorbs enough energy, the veins will also turn red.
In front of the city tree, some of the leaves have completely turned dark green, and even in some of the older leaves, the veins are gradually showing dark yellow, and it may not be long before they turn completely red.
"If the energy is continuously produced alloy ingots, then there is no need to worry about the cost of the real room in the future. Ward looked at the leaves of the City Tree for a moment and sighed.
"I've observed through the root system of the City Tree, and the magma lake under the ground is quite large, and if the City Tree absorbs it with all its might, it can absorb it for at least a few hundred years, so I'm not worried about this. ”
Ades reached out and patted Ward's arm, reassuring him.
"And this time in Ambo, our harvest is also good, Teacher Nancy took away some of the magic equipment that can be sold immediately, and the rest are all here, there are a lot of precious metals in it, which can be re-disassembled and refined. ”
Ades patted his waist and gestured that there were many treasures in his space container.
"You didn't make it clear in the letter, how did you take the port of Amber so easily this time? And on the volcanic island, we also sensed a huge spatial ripple over there, and the scene of summoning demons is the same as what we saw here before?"
As soon as the two magicians heard the word Ambo, Yunny and Ward were immediately not calm, for such a big scene, for cross-border teleportation on the heterotopic plane, they were very interested, they couldn't witness such a scene in person, their hearts were like a cat scratching, Yunnie grabbed Ades's arm, and asked the question in her heart quickly.
"It's a long story......"
The three of them stopped by the lake, and Adès whispered what he had seen and heard in Ambo, and gave a general account of the loot he had obtained.
So, he was dragged by the two magicians to the magic room, to see the precious metal ingots and the magic materials on the bottom of the sea.
In the Kingdom of Osler, in the royal capital, the attacking team composed of the priests of several major temples and the royal mage group cleaned up the demon high-level who invaded the royal capital, and the knights belonging to the royal family and the knights of the temple also dispatched at the same time, and finally eliminated the demons from the royal capital.
Looking at the desolate royal capital, the mood of Ales III is sad and angry, but there are also many elements of joy, this demonic invasion, although it has caused huge losses, but there are more dead nobles, the strength of the original tripartite confrontation has now become two sides, only the king and the temple, the strength of the fiefdom nobles has been weakened, their territory has been invaded, and the army has been wiped out.
The king is already thinking that when the war is over, the territory directly under the royal family can increase a lot, and with the territory there will be output, and the output represents the money, and with the money, the royal family can expand the army, so it will no longer be constrained by the fiefdom nobles as before.
