Chapter 221: The Rough Stone (Part II)

Salin ignored Aesop's pleas. Throw him directly to Nellis. Salin knew that Neris was a picky eater now, and instead of taking a fancy to Aesop's meat, it must have been used for another purpose.

Neris was proud that when she summoned demons in the future, she would have to have an excuse. Aesop is from the East, tens of thousands of miles away, and no one knows about him in the Myers Continent. All it takes is to sign a double soul contract with Isolt to completely control him, and then make him sign a slave contract with the summoned demons.

There will soon be a strong ** master who can summon demons in the Myers Continent, but this mage is a slave of his own soul. So that no one doubts their identity, right?

Salin's idea of throwing Aesop to Naris was simple, he couldn't do everything himself in the future, otherwise he wouldn't have a chance to advance to the mage. Nellis's temperament is not very easy to grasp, but she cares about her family very much, and all the property that belongs to her, Nellis cares about it.

So Saleen is relieved that Aesop will live, maybe well.

The last battleship was lost, and there was no way to do it, this sea area had not had time to explore, and the effect of the magic compass was very weak. Escape, escape, at least this battleship will not immediately return to the south, it must be worried that it will intercept here.

"Aesop?" Salin shouted.

"In. ”

"You can tell me the exact location of the vein. Naris promises to take you in, and she will keep you safe. Salen didn't explain anything to Aesop, and Aesop almost burst into tears.

Can this woman named Nellis keep herself safe? Can she kill a chicken?

This Sarin mage seemed to be very shrewd, how could he be influenced by beauty, and he knew that he had promised him a hundred virgins in exchange for his freedom. But now it's too late to say anything, and he leaked the matter of the ore vein, and said that he could provide a route to the East China Sea, and Salin said that he would not let himself go.

In desperation, Aesop could only honestly tell Salen the location of the ore vein.

He also took out a rough stone and asked Saleen to analyze it. Salin held the rough stone in his hand, and it felt somewhat familiar. This is indeed a calcite, and structurally, it resembles iolite.

Iolite is a low-grade gemstone, and although it is abundant, it is not cheap, because this gemstone is suitable for all magicians, and can be used from level 1 to level 6.

There are also some bad guys who will fake iolite into zoisite, and the difference between the two is more than 10,000 times.

The crystal structure of the rough stone in Salin's current hand is similar to iolite, as if it is a type of barite.

It's a waste rock!

Salin finally remembered that although iolite can be used for many years, the gem will also be damaged and lose its attributes. These gemstones that lose their attributes. Collectively referred to as waste rock.

Waste stone is not useless, it can be used to mix magic potions, all kinds of magic powders. However, there are many similar materials, and the materials processed from waste rock are too time-consuming. So most magicians will sell scrap stone to nobles.

The aristocracy only cared about whether the gemstone was beautiful or not, and did not care about any attributes. Sell the scrap stone to the nobles, and the gold you get is enough to buy the relevant magic materials.

Waste Stone Can Replace Low-Level Magic Cores?Saleen asked Aesop, who told Salen that if the Rough Stone wanted to replace the Magic Core, it still needed to be processed, although it was a bit troublesome, but it was much cheaper than buying a low-level Magic Core. If there is an alchemy factory, hundreds of magic apprentices, and the finished rough stones produced every day are enough for a family to rise quickly.

Sarin ignored the loophole in Aesop's words, with hundreds of magic apprentices working for you, do you still need to use the word rise?

"Do you have a recipe for making rough stones?" Salin asked only the most crucial questions. This kind of skill, if it is in Alchemy City, will definitely be kept secret.

"Every mage in the East China Sea knows how to refine rough stones, because most mages can't afford low-level magic cores. Aesop replied with a wry smile.

Saleen's heart shook, but his face remained silent.

The Myers continent is extremely rich in minerals, and there are too many places where gemstones can be mined. But most of the veins. Less than 1 in 100,000 gemstones are available, and the rest are all waste rock. And not all waste stone has a good appearance, which can be used to coax the nobility.

So the price of gemstones has always been ridiculously high, because the cost of mining is very huge.

Now that a large number of East Sea Mages have appeared on the Myers Continent, they will definitely collect waste rocks. It won't be long before the mages of the Myers Continent will discover this secret as well.

This secret is nothing to other countries, but for the Qin Yin Empire, it is definitely news that affects the fortunes of the country. Qin Yin has eighty percent of the mages on the continent, and most of these mages are hovering at the low level, without a sufficient number of demon cores, and they can't exert too strong combat power.

A first-level mage can only release twelve first-level magic, not that his mental power is not enough, but the magic string is so little, after releasing it, it will take at least six hours to recover. If you have enough cores, you can use a large number of low-level mages to set up magic circles or create scrolls.

Moreover, the magic core can also speed up the recovery of the magic string by the mage, with less consumption and faster effect. If Qin Yin mined waste rock on a large scale and made rough stones, then Qin Yin's national strength would increase rapidly.

Rex has hundreds of mages in his hands, and most of them are low-level mages.

Seeing that Salin was silent, Isolt was afraid that something was wrong, so he hurriedly said: "This, refining the original stone is a very simple matter, even a magic apprentice can handle it, adults don't have to worry." ”

"I wasn't worried, I just wanted to...... It's time to build a second city as soon as possible. Let's go. Return to Metatrin City. Saleen didn't even look at the vein that Aesop had pointed out, which was near the second point he had chosen.

Originally, Saleen was not very enthusiastic about the construction of the city, and he built the city of Metatrin in order to obtain a safe teleportation point, where he could travel freely between the continent of Myers and the hell of divine punishment.

Once the teleportation array between such planes is established, it is impossible to change its position. If the teleportation point is not secure enough, it is likely that someone will be killed during the teleportation, even if that person is an ordinary magic apprentice.

But now, Salin knew that the waste stone could be refined to replace the rough stone of the low-level demon core, and he immediately knew how important it was to own the land. If you find a vein near your city, you immediately have the ability to train a large number of mages.

Replace low-level cores with primogems, which can be obtained in the Frozen Sea. With these, Salin can have the capital to fight against the Holy See. It's not that he has to deal with the Holy See, but the Holy See will never let him go.

Who let him have the power of the goddess Myers in his left hand?

The Dragonwreck Battleship re-raised the Shadow Sail and broke through the waves, all the way north. With more than seventy jade skeletons, the battleship could operate twenty-four hours a day, as long as Saleen provided enough cores.

Back in Metatrin City, Salin directly returned to the temple with Aini and the others. He didn't plan to hide this matter from Aini, after all, Aini was his friend, a thing that would be known to the whole continent sooner or later. Why hide it from your friends? And Ani's family also deals in gemstones, and there may be a lot of waste rock.

In the temple, all the mages were extremely surprised when they heard the news, and the waste stone that seemed to them to be worthless could actually refine something equivalent to a low-level demon core.

Especially the mages of Shreig Island, their theoretical knowledge is too rich. As soon as I heard this, I immediately thought that as long as I improved my refining ability, it would not be a problem to use waste stone to make a primordial stone equivalent to an intermediate magic core. Alchemy is not static, and all alchemy is constantly improving and evolving.

The reason why the continent of Mels did not give birth to this alchemy. It's because the Myers continent is so big, and even though the magic core is expensive, mages can still get it. And the countries of the East China Sea, if they want the magic core, they must ask for it from the sea. And the demonic beasts in the sea are too powerful, and the price of obtaining them is also unbearable.

In this case, the mages of the East China Sea will find an alternative path and study the material of the original stone.

Even so, the land area of the East China Sea is too small and there are not many mines. And the civilizations of the countries of the East China Sea are also based on magic, so they will want to invade the continent of Myers.

The people in this room, except for Nerice, were all mages, and even Shika did not stay in the room. The news that Saleen brought back fell silent for everyone.

This is not just an opportunity, it seems that Qin Yin will become strong immediately, in fact, this is probably the beginning of Qin Yin's rupture.

Because on the southeast coast of Qin Yin, there is an alchemy city. Alchemy City has always maintained relative independence, and does not even pay a single gold coin tax to the empire. However, Alchemy City still nominally belonged to the Qin Yin Empire, because the mages of Alchemy City were not enough to control the continent, so they were willing to be under the Glucus family.

The Grykos family is not just the three magicians in the palace, there are tens of thousands of them combined, and most of these people choose to study magic. This is a tradition of the royal family of Grukos. As long as you learn magic, the palace will provide you with opportunities, even if you don't have any achievements, you will have no worries about food and clothing.

Over the millennium, there have been fewer and fewer high-level mages in the Gryukus royal family, but there are more and more low-level mages.

Alchemy City didn't want to really compete with the Grykos royal family, because that wouldn't make sense. But with this kind of primordial stone, Alchemy City can completely expand indefinitely, cultivating hundreds of thousands of low-level mages. That would be the power that could destroy everything.

In history, the collapse of the four dynasties is all related to magicians. Now, if Alchemy City tries to destabilize the situation on the mainland, there is only one precondition, they have a sufficient number of mages.

Saleen was also a little confused. I don't know what the future looks like. At this time, he suddenly had an idea, if the astrologers were still alive, what would they say?
