Chapter 333: The Temptation of Quotas (Part II)
Saleen looked at the excited faces. Except for Aini and Guya, the rest of the people were extremely satisfied with the conditions he gave. The bundle strategy was successful, and what did the nobles want?
Ani and Quay are both magicians and know what Saleen is up to, but their pursuits are different from those of other nobles, and they certainly don't dislike them. Anyway, there is a friendship between Aini and Salin, and Salin has a good relationship with Aini's parents. Gu Ya's younger sister is also the focus of Salin's training, and her future achievements may not be lower than Gu Ya. These two people are actually what Salin values the most.
They all understood that Saleen controlled the magician, and it was he who controlled everything.
Without the mages of Saleen, these nobles are nothing. If there are enough materials, the mage does not need a gold coin. A high-level mage who can make food, drink water, and even eat without spending money to buy it.
Among the ten-level magic, there is one that is the most common, and almost every ninth-level magician learns, and that is the elemental essence. This is a paste-like substance. In addition to healing, the biggest effect is to keep the magician without eating for months and maintain his physical strength. One elemental essence can probably be divided into four standard amounts, and making one can allow the magician to last for more than a year, and he doesn't have to do anything except magic practice.
So at the tenth level, the magician was almost out of the category of humans, and his physical strength began to change. As long as the elemental essence is taken for a long time, the mage's body can be as strong as some high-level magical beasts.
At this point, the mage no longer needs the provision of ordinary people.
But human beings cannot do without magicians, without whom they cannot build huge cities, cultivate large areas, and prevent the spread of diseases and pestilences. Without magicians, human cities would be destroyed by powerful magical beasts, and the arrival of creatures from different planes would wipe out many creatures from the original plane.
Salin distributed the wealth, but these people did not share the magicians.
Hunting in the Frozen Sea, Salin conservatively estimated that investing one million gold coins a year would be enough, and as for the return, he planned to hunt 200,000 red krill a year. So many red krill are just to support a few huge ninth-level demonic beasts, and they will not have any impact on the balance of the frozen sea.
If risky, Saleen can increase the number of hunts several times.
The magic core of 200,000 red krill a year. Salin was wholesaled at the price of one hundred gold coins each, which was twenty million gold coins. Twenty million gold coins a year, although not as much as Holy Rock City, but Salin does not have much land, and it is completely obtained by hunting.
Twenty million gold coins is enough for Salin to raise an army of millions.
It turned out that Salin was not good at selling these magic cores, but now that the nobles shared eighty percent of the sales for him, he could sit on the ground and divide the money.
The detailed distribution principle, Salen has actually been prepared for a long time, since everyone has no opinion in the general direction, the details can be discussed with Daniel.
Daniel was also very happy, originally the Holy See started to hunt down necromancers, but now he is no longer the first type of target, at least until he kills Nicholas, the Holy See will not be in the mood to target any necromancers.
Saleen didn't leave, but whispered to the people around him. This communication was always necessary, especially with the twelve counts. The four dukes can still be invited to meet at any time, but the other nobles can only negotiate with Daniel first.
In the shortest possible time, Salin understood what everyone was missing. Because the magic core that was resold last year has returned to the funds, these nobles are not short of gold coins. The food supply in Salin was also stable, and the nobles were still short of supplies. Of course, what is more lacking is land. They still have to support their own farmers.
Salin communicated with these nobles, and felt that it was too late to grow grain this year, but they could grow vegetables. After the seeds are processed by the magic apprentices, they can be harvested in a month. Salin promised to buy all the vegetables and provide for the disposal of the seeds, so that the nobles would no longer have to raise the farmers for nothing.
With so many benefits given by Saleen, the nobles certainly had to reciprocate. Salin doesn't have many shops in Metatrin City, but he still has to build some in the towns of the trade roads and in cities outside of Metatrin City. The nobles provided manpower to help Salin train merchants, and Salin provided magical apprentices to the nobles.
After a meeting, everyone was satisfied. At this time, another soldier came to report, saying that it was at the port and that there was a bone battleship back.
Salin then left the conference hall and came to the port, the bone battleship went to sea on the order of the winged skeleton, but these bone battleships were only commanded by the jade skeleton, and there was a lack of human professionals, so they did not dare to go to the frozen sea. Hunting and cruising in the offshore waters is the task of these bone warships.
The two bone battleships returned, but they hunted a large number of low-level demonic beasts.
The number of demonic beasts in the sea is difficult to estimate, especially low-level demonic beasts, a group is at least thousands. The lower the level, the larger the number. These low-level demonic beasts provided ample food for the powerful demonic beasts in the sea. Also Saline's best prey.
This time, the two bone battleships encountered a low-level magical beast like Barracuda. Barracuda varies in level, the lowest is the first level, the highest is the third pole, and the adult body is the second level.
The two bone battleships had no space equipment on them, but they also caught forty or fifty thousand barracudas each. The barracuda is not big, and the cargo compartment can still be loaded. The jade skeletons on the ship are also level 5 to 6 intelligent undead, and under the cultivation of the wing skeletons, they will continue to advance. However, the advancement of the undead, if only by natural progress, is extremely slow.
The barracuda is a creature with a magic core, and its skin is extremely tough and it swims super fast, but this time it is loaded into a trap set by two bone warships. Nearly 100,000 barracudas, in addition to the magic core, the fish skin is enough to make tens of thousands of pairs of boots.
Saleen's army was located in the north, and the boots had to be waterproof and cold-proof. This barracuda lives in icy waters, and its skin is the best material to keep out the heat. Despite the waste, Saleen had no intention of doing anything else with the materials.
These low-level demon cores, Saleen himself left, and had no intention of selling them. After all, the market for low-level magic cores is larger, but the benefits are small. The profits of the nobles will also be flattened, and there will be little point in transporting.
Salin looked at the busy figures on the dock and sighed in his heart. I have one more path for the income of the demon core, and the price of the demon core of the Qin Yin Empire will drop sooner or later. Moreover, the quantity can be guaranteed, and many magicians will also increase the speed of cultivation. Alchemy City releases twenty percent of the magic cores every year, and it is also afraid that the number of magicians on the continent will decrease significantly.
Increasing the number of hunts, Salin hasn't considered it yet, first, he doesn't know how far he has to go to overhunting, in case he kills too many mid-level demonic beasts. The number of demonic beasts in the sea will also be difficult to recover. This has to be explored gradually. The demonic beasts on the continent have been wiped out a lot because of this kind of hunting by humans, and Saleen doesn't want to be the same even in the sea. If that's the case, the magician won't be able to survive in the future.
There are also warehouses on the docks, but these cores cannot be sent for storage, Daniel is continuing to negotiate with those nobles, and Naris is in charge of things by Saleen's side.
Naris commands two demons, with the undead and Caucasian soldiers, escorting the untreated barracuda to the underground cold storage first. There, the prey will be further processed to break down the demon core, and the monster skin will also be carefully peeled off. The teeth and bones of many monsters are also useful, as are the barracuda's.
The bows and arrows of the main army after Salin have to count on these monsters, although the metal ones are more durable, but the magicians are too troublesome to deal with, in comparison, the cost of these bones is slightly lower. Refining the bones of Warcraft is much better than using magic to refine steel.
Most of the magicians and heavy infantry of the expeditionary force died under the alchemical arrows.
Two jade skeletons from the ship came to meet Saleen, and Sareen chose a fortress. The jade skeleton saluted Salin, and Salin felt that the wisdom of the two undead was very high. They weren't just summoned creatures that listened to orders, but like winged skeletons, they could move autonomously.
"Lord, Lord Bing went to the Frozen Sea alone, let us escort the goods back, there are still some prey here, please check it. "The two jade skeletons each handed over their space equipment.
"You can use this too?"
"Yes, it's just that the space inside is not too big, and only the important things are installed. The Jade Skull replied.
"What else did the soldier tell you?"
"My lord said, let us watch out for pirates, and when we come back, we will head south to escort our ships. The lord also told the lord that he would not go deep into the frozen sea this time. I'll be back in about two and a half months. ”
Salin looked at the two winged skeletons with ordinary bone armor on their bodies, and asked, "Why is your equipment so poor?"
"Lord Bing doesn't have time to refine, and when he talks about this matter, he has to ask the lord to do it himself. ”
Salin thought about it, and sure enough, although the alchemy of the undead of the Winged Skull was good, it was time-consuming. It's better to use Shui Yan's alchemy to help him solve it quickly.
"Now your brothers, how many?" Salin asked, asking the number of jade skeletons.
"It's almost a hundred, and Master Bing won't make too much, he said that a hundred is the limit. ”
"Well, you two go get busy first, go back, I will refine a hundred sets of armor suitable for you, if you have any special needs, tell me now. ”
"My lord, we undead are most afraid that it will be difficult to obtain power from the undead plane. It would be nice if there were green ghost gems on the armor, and if not, obsidian would be acceptable. ”
"What about weapons?"
"My lord, we are skeletons, and if humans can use them, we can use them. It's just that...... It's best not to use any metal, we use magic. ”
Salin smiled, the skeleton's tone was no different from that of humans, and when he made a request, he would also be apprehensive.
However, the Jade Skull gave him good news, they all know magic, that is, the Winged Skull will create a hundred intermediate mages for themselves, and these mages are not bad in hand-to-hand combat.
