152. The Magic Furnace and the Magic Goblin
"Yiya, Yiyi. Yikes. The two wings fluttered desperately, and the elves flew up and down in the room full of circles of light.
Rand was very happy that the magic goblin had recovered his spirits, but he didn't care too much, and even left the magic furnace room directly.
"She said she felt better, and that a fairy queen had been there," Wendy said as an interpreter.
Then the little goblin flew around the magic furnace, constantly gesturing.
She said that the furnace was connected to the magic web, like a bottomless pit, and she didn't dare to get too close. Wendy kept translating, but her face was full of worry.
It's like a mother watching her child walk a tightrope.
"Isn't she the will embodiment of the magic web?" Rand was somewhat incomprehensible
"How can you be afraid?".
"I don't know about this, but I know that she is very afraid of this stove, and she said that if she gets too close, she will be sucked in." Hearing this, Rand naturally couldn't let Wendy and the magic goblins stay longer, so he could only take them out of the cave and take them around again.
The only result of this day was that in the salt mines, Wendy and the Magic Elves were best suited for construction work such as leveling the land and hardening the pavement, and all the production work was still the most cost-effective for people.
In the afternoon, Rand takes Ben and Wendy to the coal mine north of the Salt Mine, which was empty a few months ago and now covered in snow.
In order to ensure the safety of the salt mine, the Rand organization closed a narrow mountain pass north of the salt mine with gravel, but now it has also been dredged by earth goblins.
The coal mine is under the mountain, and the entrance is also a cave, and there are 5 or 6 storey dormitories similar to the salt mine cave in the cave.
In the mine, the three of Rand had to rely on Wendy's lighting rod to move forward, the two sides of the mine were dark, there were stone frames every ten meters, about a few hundred meters, the height of the mine was already very low, only enough for the demonsless to bend down to pass.
"Can you take a look at what needs to be done to restore the coal mines?" Rand asked Ben as he walked, in his opinion, the conditions here were okay, at least there were two simple tracks on the ground to drive the minecart.
"This is too difficult, isn't there a magic furnace room to find in this mine?" Rand walked behind Ben and couldn't see his current expression, but he was embarrassed to hear the tone.
"It could be that there are other magic devices in this, and they just consume coal; It may also be that coal mines and salt mines used a set of magic furnaces back then. ”
"So if you want to rebuild this place, you need to build a new magic furnace?" Rand was a little unwilling.
"The Magic Furnace? The beauty you think, the things that humans can't make for thousands of years, you say it's created? Ben joked,
"It is estimated that there are some magic circles, which can be operated by burning coal after repair."
"That's pretty good." In Rand's eyes, this is also a tool for energy conversion.
"If you find a legend, you can definitely make one."
"This..." Rand was speechless, what else would I do if I really found a legend?
"Isn't this a coal mine? Why don't you just find someone to dig coal, everyone brings a magic lighting tool, why do you have to restore the functions of the dormitory above? Ben sensed Rand's embarrassment and ordered him.
Rand remembered the ancient coal mine caves in his hometown, where everyone could only climb into them, and could only rely on kerosene lamps for lighting, and there was a danger of a mining disaster at any time.
Every citizen is precious to him now, and if he wants to mine coal, he needs a more secure way.
At dinner in the evening, Rand threw out a plan to build a salt mine, and decided to let Wendy and the goblins temporarily station on the side of the salt mine first, transform the salt mine workshop and the ground, and then level the road from the coal mine to the salt mine and then to the outside of the salt mine, and then transform the camp outside, increasing the low wall of the entire camp from less than 2 meters to about 3 meters.
After completing the work near the salt mine, the road surface was hardened all the way back to Yeqi City. Ben Kaul was shocked to hear Rand's thoughts,
"Are you going to keep Wendy here for a year?"
"My idea is that you should take a look at the amount of work with Wendy here first, and if it takes too long, I will ask Kai Yin to bring another magic fairy over for her" For Lante, he was also a little unbearable, but there was no way now, the biggest income in his territory was the salt mine, and the road from the salt mine to Night Qicheng must be guaranteed.
"My lord, I'll just be here, but can you get Lili or Firefly to come and accompany me?" Wendy agreed to Rand without hesitation, which made Rand feel a little guilty and naturally agreed to her proposal.
In the end, Rand also hoped that Ben could add a magic mirror to the emergency communication room to communicate with Roth Castle, and Ben Kaul agreed, claiming that he would be able to connect to Roth tomorrow.
"My lord? Can I come in? "At 8:00 p.m., Wendy arrived outside Rand's tent, hoping to say goodbye to him,
"Of course, please come in" Seeing Wendy come in, Rand couldn't bear it,
"I'll send someone to Yeqi City tomorrow to deliver the message, Lili will come over in my carriage, and then the carriage will be left to you first."
"That's your carriage."
"It doesn't matter, it's still cold, don't freeze" Rand really values Windy and the others, and thinks that she can't bear to stay alone.
"Learn from Ben Cowdo, who is a very learned and knowledgeable mage."
"Yes, sir," Wendy looked at Rand, and said something that came to her lips but didn't say it.
"My lord, you will leave early tomorrow morning, I am afraid that I will not have time to say goodbye to you, can I hug you now?"
"Of course". At 9 p.m. on the 14th, Pete finally arrived at the camp with the knights and the convoy, because of the snow on the road they were 1 or 2 days later than expected.
"My lord, this road is too difficult, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back in 10 days" As soon as he saw Rand, Pete Maned Wolf vomited bitterness.
Rand smiled and listened to Pete's complaints, but felt that he was a little embarrassed to be like this in front of Ben.
"You should return to Night Kirchi City before the end of the month as much as possible," because Rand had already announced that at least half of the population would be relocated to Night Kir City in early March, and at this time, as Lanya's husband, Pete would better be with Lanya.
"Yes, my lord, this batch of salt must arrive at the end of the month, and I know that our caravan will go to the royal capital again in March, so as to make time for the salt mine to resume production."
"Very well, this batch of salt of yours is quite crucial, and there is no room for error." Rand's last salt shipment failed to transport all the salt of the two seasons to Rot, only one and a half quarters of the volume, in order to ensure its reputation and orders, the remaining salt must be loaded into the royal capital in March.
Fortunately, although Pete Maned Wolf is a little lazy, he can still distinguish the severity, so Rand is a lot more mentally steady.
