267. Harvest
On May 12th, the barbarians in the iron ore began to move outward, and the Terrans began to resume production in the mining and smelting areas.
Most of the magicians left with Wendy and Tenea, and the original knights in the iron ore had been divided into east and west, and the west road continued to open up to Iowa Pass; The main force returned to Night Kir City to the east and integrated with the Galloping Knights.
The remaining ordinary demon lovers and non-demons in the iron mine did not move for the time being, waiting for Lannia to arrive, and she would integrate and distribute the population in the iron mine.
On the night of the 11th, Rand had already given a meeting to the Demonless Stewards, asking them to begin counting the population, gathering the underage children, and selecting experienced miners and smelters. These things had been decided with Lannia before he set out, and now he only had to wait for his Archon to arrive in the afternoon to take over the personnel management of the entire iron mine.
Originally, Rand was supposed to sleep until noon, but the nightmare made him wake up before dawn, in the dream, a huge dog and a huge cat put their paws into the walls of Night Qi City, and two huge heads were lying on the wall, making Rand think that he was in the cat's and dog's dinner basin for a while.
"Is it so malicious to me? I didn't snatch their cat food and dog food. Rand, who was no longer sleepy, looked out the window at the castle that had only been built yesterday, and kept thinking in his heart where to find the high-level and legendary beast god who fought against the orcs.
In the demolition a few days ago, the knights found a lot of good things from several big tents of the brown bear tribe, such as gold coins, gems, spars and magic scrolls, which Rand couldn't look at, so he asked the high priest and Pete to count them together. There are also some rather important documents that Rand must look at separately, such as the contract between the Salt Iron Division and the Brown Bear Tribe.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would have been hard for Rand to imagine that there was not only a private connection between the agents of the Dragon Kingdom of the Salt Iron Division, the barbarian brown bear tribe, and the orc scorched wolf tribe, but also a written agreement.
These agreements have lasted for nearly 20 years, at least 2 brown bear leaders, and the content of the agreements is all-encompassing, including the share of iron ore between the Terrans and the Orcs, the cooperation confidentiality agreement, the transportation agreement, the technical support of the Terrans to the Brown Bear, and even the Salt Iron Division to provide the Brown Bear with the Flame Fairy, and the Scorched Wolf tribe among the Orcs to provide the Brown Bear with a tribe of half-orcs. If the brown bear is threatened, the Terrans are to provide a magister to operate inside the iron mine, and the orcs are to send an army to patrol the iron mine.
"Good guy, this contract is really fine" Rand looked at the 3 or 4 contracts, adding up to dozens of pages of paper, and couldn't help but sigh, "The brown bear has developed, but it is also stuck in the ceiling"
Whether it is the human race or the orcs, they all require that the forces of the brown bear must not leave the iron mine camp, neither form an alliance with the tribe responsible for transportation, nor can they harm or annex them, and the three parties negotiate the output and quota every 5 years to ensure that no matter which tribe is responsible for transportation, the iron ore in the hands of the orc tribes is the same.
"It seems that I am lucky, I will attack a few months earlier, maybe the Terran Magus and the Orcs will form a coalition to destroy me."
However, seeing the last few pieces of paper, Rand couldn't sit still again, and the content of the document was even more exaggerated than the one 4 years ago, which unilaterally sent 200 demon supporters and the corresponding non-demon to the brown bear tribe.
"The Imperial Salt and Iron Division admits that the leader of the Brown Bear Tribe has the right to become a high-ranking person, and supports him to become a legendary powerhouse, and supports the Brown Bear Tribe to unify the entire Galloping Horse Plain," Rand looked at the documents in his hand and couldn't help laughing in his heart, "Such a condition is definitely not what Antreqi is talking about, then it will not be the Salt and Iron Division, it can only be another department that does things." ”
Looking at the contract that was only signed this year, Rand had a guess in his heart, but he had already promised Ben Kaul that this matter could not be mentioned again.
There was a knock on the door to the lord's room, and Pete Maned Wolf walked in to report to Rand on the gains of the war. Due to the madness of the leader of the Brown Bear Tribe, Rand was equivalent to a duel victory and directly annexed the iron mine, and the entire mine and the knights basically lost nothing except for Tierney who consumed a few bottles of potion. Unfortunately, the tribal leader, Big Bear, had already devoured 2 high-level and mid-level professionals before they arrived.
Even if the materials for the delivery of Blue Dragon and Jiao Wolf are removed, the remaining ore can still meet the blast furnace operation of the new industrial area for 2-3 months. In addition, several magic goblins had extracted thousands of tons of iron sand from the slag heap during the previous day's construction, which had been left out of hundreds of years of mining, and they would be made into iron ingots in the blast furnace inside the iron ore for future supply to the more western regions.
In addition to iron ore and iron ingots, there are also some old equipment in several storage warehouses in the mine, which can be recycled, and Wendy found some gold coins and armor left by the galloping horse kingdom and orcs from the secret base of the mages, which are always available for 6 or 70,000 when converted into gold coins.
In addition, over the years, the grizzly tribe has mastered the production of iron armor, relying on the sale of iron armor and rune iron armor, and has also saved nearly 20,000 gold coins, in addition to several warehouses There are at least more than 200 sets of ready-made armor pieces and iron armor, 20 sets of rune armor, and more than 50 pieces of various enchanted weapons and rune weapons.
In contrast, the potions made by the orc tribe and the magic plants planted are much cheaper, but Rand still saw a few rare things: 4 bottles of breakthrough potions and 1 bottle of intermediate potions, breakthrough potions are used to enhance the affinity with magic in the body for a short period of time, generally used between apprentices and beginners, this kind of potion is not seen at all in the mall, but in the homes of the great nobles, it is still more common than intermediate potions.
Even with the swordfish breeding in Roth's territory and the magic plant plantation in the Great Forest, Rand costs more than 500 gold coins per month to supply his own family, subordinates and monster meat, and another 1,000 gold coins for potions, which is still in the case of Dugan's own channels for potions and monster meat.
And after the population doubles this time, the corresponding expenses will only be higher, and now the new high-level knights, intermediate mages and middle-level knights in the territory can only rely on the rand to spend money on Warcraft meat and potions.
"By the way, Rand," Elsa Ironrock Elf came to her at noon, still holding a black stone in her hand, "This is Tania found it yesterday, we are too busy to care." ”
The big goblin handed over a strip about a meter long, with a jet-black appearance, as if it were a huge obsidian.
"What is this?"
"Huh? Tynia said you can tell it at a glance," Elsa Tieyan was a little puzzled, thinking that Tania had already communicated with Rant, "It's for the girl with the big tail." ”
"This, the crystallization of a legend?"
"Huh?" Elsa didn't think much about it before sending it over, and now seeing Rand say this, the stone bar she held with her hand quickly reacted due to the magic power, revealing a light light underneath the black, and even some kind of text loomed.
"It seems to be true, this is the crystallization of the remains of an ancient demigod," Elsa read useful information from it, "Well, Tenya is right, you better not hold such a thing in your hands, it is easy to be coveted." ”
Since the magic goblins felt that this was a hot thing, Rand naturally quickly received the space ring, ready to find time to give it to Gu Leia, and this thing was still used by the dragon girl.
