191. The new look of the salt mine
On the 27th, Pete Maned Wolf arrived at the Salt Mine Castle with a transport team, and finally met Kenan Doyle, the knight in charge of the Salt Mine.
The layout of Salt Mine Castle is very similar to that of Roth Castle, and Pete climbs up the spiral staircase with Kenan, constantly sighing at the castle built by the Great Goblin.
"I still remember seeing the magic goblin of the Marquis of Elk in the south once before, and I only met from a distance at that time, and I didn't think that the big goblin was stronger than ordinary magic goblins." Pete sighed,
"Yes, I've had the pleasure of seeing it once," Kenan agreed, "and that was when I was in the Southern Kingdoms, and I didn't expect a magical elf to be able to complete such a castle in a matter of days. ”
When the two knights climbed the castle watchtower, they could see the nearest post station to the castle, East No. 5, and the entrance to the salt mine, which had changed dramatically - the tent camp at the original entrance was no longer there, and instead there was a castle similar to a pass, completely stuck in the mountain pass.
The road from the mountain pass to the castle to the post station was thoroughly built and hardened.
"What a miracle!" Pete kept sighing, "If you count the castle at the entrance of the salt mine, I've seen seven castles along the way."
"Yes, my old fellow," said Kenan, cheerfully, "according to the Viscount's idea, there will be three more castles from Roth to Nightqi. ”
"So," Pete pointed his finger at Kenan, and then at himself, "aren't we?" ”
"It should be a few of us who can have a share!" Pete said as he stroked the smooth stone railing, and his mind was about sitting in the Baron's castle, sharing his time with his wives and concubines.
。。。
Pete knows that no matter how many castles his lord has, he can't give them to himself for no reason, even if there is a ready-made castle, the feudal lord can use various reasons and terms to limit the vassals to death, so he must be more prominent.
He moved very quickly, and from the next day, there were convoys of salt coming out one after another. Pete's team is not only responsible for transportation, but some of the knights are also responsible for returning to their "old jobs" - mining salt in salt ponds.
The quality of the mined salt is much better than that of the brine, and the salt can be transported away after another boiling, and these comprehensive speeds from mining to processing double the output of the finished product every day, which requires Pete to carry out centralized transportation every 1 or 2 days.
The brine in the salt pond was extracted by Tania using the energy of the leylines at one time, so in addition to the salt pond, Tainia also drilled 7 or 8 rock wells and found the brine gas in the formation according to Rand's request. The entire salt mine has switched to natural gas for boiling salt.
Of course, even if the salt mines no longer need coal as fuel, Pete and Kennan still need to organize the mining of coal to be used as industrial fuel in Night Kirk.
While Tynia remodeled the mine's caverns and cleared some of the stagnant water, Pete and Kenan organized the Demonless to enter the mine to dig the mine, using a batch of horse-drawn wagons that Nightunison had built to transport them.
After Tenya's thorough transformation, the mining speed of the entire salt mine is much higher, and even the coal mine only needs some demon supporters to stay and mine coal with the demonsless, and those above the apprentice knight can be liberated and all enter the Galloping Horse Knights.
。。。。
On the 29th, Rand, which is still in the new industrial zone, received an urgent delivery that the first batch of newly mined salt was about to arrive in Yeqi City.
The entire new industrial area is busy resuming production, and Rand is idle. In the old Barony of Galloping Horses, the knights were like big cattle, and they had to work hard as long as the territory needed, but now that Rand has more subordinates, the number of cattle is not enough for him.
Rand, who has nothing to do, practices physical fitness and swordsmanship in the morning, and reads and hunts in the afternoon, which is very comfortable.
After lunch, Rand rode on the fire and went to the grassland to hunt, or rather, to secretly read the notebook with the words of his hometown on the grassland.
At first glance, this book is just a diary, but if you look closely, you can see the growth path of a magister who has passed through his predecessors.
This senior came to Night Qicheng for the first time before the God Emperor ascended the throne, and recorded some trivial matters in Qicheng on Chinese New Year's Eve, and then the text paused until decades later, when he was already a magic master, and his diary contained many experiences in releasing magic on the Galloping Horse Plain.
"The White Wolf God and Deathwing have both summoned their own gods to the Galloping Horse Plains!
Their explosive elements have stirred up the whole plain, and it is estimated that it will not get better in a thousand years! ”
Reading the text from almost a thousand years ago, the attitude of the former author towards the gods is vividly revealed.
"How bad were these two before? Believers come as soon as they are summoned, and they are pinched to death as soon as they meet, they are all Warcraft gods thousands of years ago, so they can't be civilized. ”
"Thousands of years of Warcraft God, you dare to complain like this, I hope you have become a god" Whether it is Albert or the Blue Dragon School, they have repeatedly warned Rand that he must be cautious about the existence of legends and above, and be cautious and cautious.
"The magister of the early stage of the God Emperor, or the time-traveler from his hometown?" Rand kept speculating in his heart, "Could it be Him?" ”
Rand has some guesses in his heart, but he doesn't dare to verify it yet, even if he can verify it, he doesn't dare to find the true god to match, so he can only silently put some guesses in his heart, and wait for the future to slowly verify.
。。。。
"Hey, come on, Black Rabbit~" Tenya rode on the Warcraft horse Black Rabbit, running around happily, looking like a rabbit riding a dog from a distance.
Black Rabbit and dozens of other horses sent coal to the new industrial area, but never returned with the other carriages, and Tenya, as a local goblin, was "familiar at first sight" with Black Rabbit, and would ride her around whenever she had time.
Every time such a spectacle attracts the attention of many people, such as Rand, Wendy, and Lili.
"Isn't Mentor Tenya able to fly directly? Still need a mount? Lili asked in a whisper as Wendy pulled her.
"Of course she doesn't need to, but the black rabbit is an earth-based magical beast, and you can break through faster by following her," Wendy looked at the black rabbit happily climbing the mountain in the distance, and said enviously, "I didn't expect that after our territory has a magical master, the first thing she guides is a magical beast." ”
"Isn't that normal, an intermediate demonic beast can pull a lot more goods than an intermediate knight." Rand on the side said with a smile, "After all, the intermediate level of the Warcraft corresponds to the intermediate level from the intermediate knight to the big knight. ”
"My lord, aren't you also intermediate?" Lili asked, "You're not going to compare yourself to a horse, are you?" ”
"That's right, I'm just comparing it to me," Rand looked at the black horse that was scattering flowers, it was as excited as a monster that was about a ton fast, "If I had such a horse back then, I wouldn't think I was worse than the barbarians." ”
