150. Go to the salt mine again

After a round in the city, Rand returned to the eastern wall of the city, stood on the wall and looked northeast, "If you have the chance, set up a huge market on the edge of the river over there!" ”

"Marketplace?" Ben was a little surprised, "Isn't there a commercial street in the city?" ”

"It's not a small commercial street," Rand had in mind a large commercial complex like a bonded area and a trade fair, "to have a special trade area, where the caravans of the various kingdoms can be stationed, and they bring goods from all over the world, and we sell our goods." ”

"What goods do you have to sell?" The more Ben listened, the more strange it became, why do you have to toss outside the city when you have a blank area in the city?

"Ores, magical plants, alchemy products, everything will be there" Rand knew that Ben Kaul was mocking his territory for not producing anything, but he was not worried, Rand believed that with such a large territory, there would be a large number of merchants to do business in the territory in the future.

"Not only the business district in the east, but also a special college area in the west of the city" Rand is very happy to imagine his future city, commercial and industrial in the east, cultural and educational in the west, and stadiums in the north, what a reasonable plan!

Ben looked at the young man in front of him, and silently drew all the urban ideas of the rand in his heart, it was obvious that the city of the rand had more than 1 million people, otherwise there was no need to draw a place outside the city as an industrial area.

It wasn't clear how Rand planned to realize his ideas, but Ben Kaul was even more curious about the Galloping Horse descendant in front of him.

。。。

When the sun was about to set, Rand and Ben greeted Wendy and Lili, who had finally completed the road construction, as well as the earth-based magic fairies, along with more than 300 demons and more than 90 knights from their vanguard team.

Wendy brought not only materials and people, but also luxury carriages, lookout masts, and nearly 100 pack beasts that Rand desperately needed.

On the third day, February 7th, at Rand's urging, Ben Kaul had to stop for another day and use the lookout mast and drawing magic to draw the entire map of Nightunison City on several pieces of animal skin paper.

Rand took the animal skin, looked at the precise map like the satellite photos of his previous life, and suddenly realized that the precise expression of magic was indeed useful!

Now that Wendy, Lili, and the other demon girls have arrived, Kaul has begun to take on the role of teacher, teaching Wendy and the others to identify the many magic circles in the palace, and organizing them to repair some of the broken magic circles in the palace with the earth elves.

The magic circles in the entire palace are nested layer by layer, and I don't know how many magic crystals are needed to activate them, but in the cellar where the camp is located, there are also separate magic circles that can be directly opened and closed to play basic roles such as lighting, ventilation, and heating.

According to Rand's idea, in addition to some of the magic circles in the cellar area that need to be restored, some of the functional rooms upstairs also need to be restored as soon as possible, and some rooms can be used in the future.

The entire Padmila Mountain is more than ten kilometers north and south, like a high wall standing on the east side of the Night Qi City, and now the Rand is only living in the central part of the palace, and there is still a lot of space to be explored.

However, for Rand, he had more than one task, and when he left the salt mine last year, Rand took all the salt he could hold, but there was still some mined salt in the cave, some of which had been boiled and some of which were still brine.

Rand specially brought a large number of pack beasts this time, just to go to the salt mine again, on the one hand, to investigate whether the salt mine has been occupied by some small tribes that are not open to the eyes two months after leaving, and on the other hand, please check whether you can use alchemy equipment to replace manpower and mine salt mines.

So on the 7th, Pete led 50 knights and half of the cavalry in Yeqi City, and now escorted the pack beast team to the north, preparing to go to the salt mines. It is estimated that it will take at least 6 days for the team to reach the mine, and at least 10 days for the team to complete the packing and return.

Rand will take Ben, Kenan Doyles, Wendy, and the Rock Elves to the horse in two days, and it is expected to arrive in 2-3 days, as long as Ben completes the initial exploration and testing, and has Wendy take the Rock and Earth Elves to try to see if they can use the Magic Elves to dig the salt mines, whether it is feasible or not, several people can return directly.

。。。。。。。

On the 10th, the Rand and the others set out, and their fast horses arrived at the camp south of the salt mine in less than three days.

The former camp of the Grey Goose headquarters was specifically requested to be kept when Rand left, and there were even a few demon enthusiasts and about 100 non-demon people who were used to living on the plains hoping to stay and take care of the tent area for Rand.

Rand agreed, and left some pack beasts and long-haired sheep with them.

The gray goose camp in the distance was getting closer and closer, and Ben Kaul couldn't help but laugh at the rand when he looked at the strong earthen wall around the camp and the eye-catching tent inside the camp.

"Is this the main camp of the grey geese? Sure enough, the largest tribe on the Galloping Horse Plain lives up to its name. The mage looked at Rand with a smile, "Rand, when you saw this tribe, didn't you have any doubts about who the barbarian was?" ”

"No, from the time I defeated the second or third tribe, I was sure that I was a barbarian, I had no iron, no horses, no people, no money.

You're looking at other people, what do you want, except for the name with the word barbarian, the rest are all rich and noble, I'm just a human race, how can anyone else compare with home? In fact, Rand initially thought that his nobleman was not much different from an animal.

Rand complained about himself like this, Ben couldn't stand it a little, "You're not that bad." ”

"If I'm better off than them, I won't rob them" Rand didn't care who was more miserable, after all, he was the one who raised the gray goose.

The Terrans who stayed behind warmly welcomed their lords back, and Rand could see that the people left behind had a good life in the past few months, and the rate at which these few people consumed long-haired sheep was far faster than average.

But Rand didn't care, after all, if it weren't for them, as long as the camp was still there, they would have completed the mission.

During dinner, Rand mentioned to Ben Kaul the various rooms in the cave in the salt mines, including the emergency communication room.

"Oh, can you recognize the Magic Furnace Room and the Emergency Communications Room?" Ben was a little surprised, "The magic furnace room is the standard in all big cities, these magic furnaces can be traced back to ancient times, but it's a pity that the human empire has not been able to make them so far. ”

"Then it seems that our human empire is not so powerful." Lante muttered, in terms of the technology he has seen so far, the level of the Human Empire is much worse than the level that Albert boasted back then.

"Hahaha, didn't Albert tell you that the human empire is in its best era?" Ben smiled, "The best era of the human empire depends on how to compare, compared to the humans in the past, and the orcs and elves on the continent today, it is indeed the strongest. ”

Ben didn't go on, but Rand understood that it was still almost meaningless compared to the various races of antiquity.
