Chapter 495: The Growth of the Young Red Dragon

As for the astral ships of the Giss Yankees and the mind destroyers of the Mind Flayer, these ultra-sci-fi existences that can travel through the astral planes and planes are not within the scope of today's discussion for the time being.

The dwarves' blacksmithing skills are world-famous, supplying more than half of the world's metal minerals, do you think they are hammered out with a hammer?

They are also immortals, like elves, they are not famous for their numbers, many dwarven cities, full of battles, there are only a thousand people, but the weapons and equipment they produce far exceed this number.

The reason for this is that they built their city into a huge smelting furnace, powered by geothermal molten slurry or aided by bound fire elementals.

All in all, most dwarven cities do not need coal or wood for energy supply.

This is obviously the case with the dwarven city in front of you, which is occupied by kobolds, using magma geothermal heat - it is unknown whether this is a special topography connected to the magma layer, or if the dwarves did it with magic.

Due to the existence of dwarves, magic, and many faces, the price of gold and silver has shrunk relatively - gold, gems, which are relatively valuable metals in the material plane, are everywhere in the inner plane, the earth element plane, which is why those legendary mages rarely get involved in the competition for resources in the material plane.

What restricts the flooding of these precious metals in the material plane is the expensive cost of dimensional teleportation, and it is also the reason why the checks and balances of those elemental lords deliberately suppress it.

The situation of the silver smelting production line becomes more and more strange the more you look at it.

The overall architectural style is that of the dwarves, which is rough, bulky, huge, and functional.

But there's a weird tinkering style mixed with all sorts of kobolds.

Illegal patches and new strange appliances make the entire silver refining production line extremely unstable, and some small problems will appear from time to time.

The way those kobolds dealt with it was rough and simple, holding a big hammer and going up and knocking it three times before speaking.

Strangely, more than eighty percent of the problems were fixed, and the sudden ones began to work again.

In the face of this situation, I don't know whether to praise the dwarves for casting enough leather to be durable?

Or praise the kobold for my search for Dafa, at this point, the kobold and the goblin are the dragon and the phoenix, and they stand in the world.

This dwarven silver smelting production line had absolutely no such output at its peak, and eighty percent of the production was not coarse silver bricks, but pure silver bricks.

It's just that these kobolds have been changed seven times and eight times, not to mention that the output has been greatly reduced, and the ability has also been weakened.

It's not Gavin's guess, it's that at least half of the equipment here isn't working.

Then again, kobolds use their own methods to drive the dwarves' ultra-modern magic factories are no longer something ordinary people can do.

With the young red dragon following him, the kobolds of the Dragon's Lair did not attack, nor did they flee on a large scale, including the harpy kobolds who had once served as the elite escort of the Dragon.

Gavin simply gave them a tour of the Dragon's Lair.

The dragon's nest was clearly converted from the dwarven vault, and it was boxy, with rows of thick silver bricks the size of a turn.

What is the concept of a hundred tons of coarse silver bricks?

Even if it is pure silver without impurities, it must be completely integrated into a whole, and it must be nearly ten cubic meters.

The coarse silver bricks mixed with impurities are naturally larger, enough to inlay the entire floor and four sides of the silver treasury into silver.

In comparison, the dragon bed piled up by the pile of variegated currencies is a little insufficient, and the miscellaneous ones add up, it is quite remarkable to have 100,000 gold coins, and I haven't seen a single magic item.

It's normal to think about the characteristics of the twisted magic of the Swift Peng, even if there is a magic item, it will be distorted by his side for a long time.

This is the normal treasure trove reserve of Jipeng.

It is not without reason that slaying dragons and robbing dragons' nests is called the fastest way for Faren to make a fortune.

Robbing those merchants, and the risk that the goods are worthless.

The dragon's nest will not, as long as the dragon has a little reputation, there will inevitably be a lot of cash in his dragon's nest, there are absolutely no exceptions, if there are exceptions, either someone will be the first to get there, or they just haven't found the right place.

Counting the harvest of killing the swift Peng, it is no less than the scourge of the East Road, Slaksata.

Nearly 300,000 coarse silver bricks, nearly 100,000 variegated gold coins, 100,000 bounties from those horse farm owners, plus a silver mine with a monthly output value of 3,000 gold coins - no consumption and pure earning, they can be self-sufficient, as long as they ensure that the kobolds here are safe, not harassed and occupied by other monsters or humans, and have an annual income of 40,000 yuan, and there are more profitable transactions than this?

What's more, once in the hands of the budget-conscious Gavin, how could he still allow this place to remain in its original mode of operation?

Even if it is not as big as other places to build infrastructure, at least it must be pushed to the maximum power.

If nothing else, there is still a lot to be done on that silver smelting line.

Finding a few dwarven experts, even if there is no way to completely repair this silver refining production line, even if it reaches the peak level of five, sixty or even seven or eighty percent, and earns hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, it should be an easy matter.

In addition, Gavin highly suspected that the high yield of the garden farm that the Arca Harpy said was not blessed by the gods as the wind and rain, but a geothermal farm, where the residual heat from silver refining was released and fell to the ground, forming a farm with a relatively constant temperature throughout the year.

Let the kobolds take them to the surface to take a look, the environment there is even more unique than he expected.

This garden farm is not located in the Kripplet Garden Forest at all, but in the Sword Mountains, a valley surrounded by mountains, directly above the dwarven castle, the most convenient way to pass through this castle, the surrounding mountains, carved with huge dwarven runes, here to form a protective shield similar to the elven lock.

Needless to say, if you are from the direction of the Sword Mountains, it is difficult to find this valley without the help of magic.

Surrounded by mountains and geothermal heat, the temperature here is like spring all year round, and it is difficult to think of high yields.

The only pity is that most of the area here has been deserted, trees, vines, and weeds are tangled together, more dense than ordinary dense forests, only a small piece near the passage, has been developed, planted crops, the planting method is very clumsy, typical rough planting, Rao is so, but also able to support more than 2,000 monsters, it can be seen how suitable for planting here.

Tyrannical Creatures! Tyrannical Creatures! Tyrannical Creatures!

It's so close to the City of Radiance, growing food isn't the most lucrative business.

The most profitable thing is to grow out-of-season vegetables here, and when the weather is cold and freezing, all kinds of fresh green vegetables are transported there, Gavin dares to guarantee that they will be sold out on the spot, and the value generated by them will even be several times that of silver mines.

It's definitely a big treasure.

Silver Mine, Garden Farm, either, one of the two, is worth some of Gavin's energy here, let alone two in one, of course, it's worth spending a lot of energy.

After understanding the situation inside and outside South Kriptri, I almost understood it, and returned to the council chamber.

Temporarily driving those harpy kobolds away, Gavin turned to the young red dragon and said, "For the next period of time, I want you to be stationed here and lead these kobolds to develop this place, what do you think?" ”

"Me?" The young red dragon was stunned for a moment, obviously not reacting, after all, this is something that he can't even dream of.

"What? Not happy? ”

"Willingly, very willingly." The young red dragon's head was like a chicken pecking rice, and all he could think about now was the dragon's nest inlaid with silver bricks, and no dragon could refuse to roll and sleep in that kind of room.

I thought about it before, but now this dream is actually sent to the door.

There's no such thing as pie in the sky, especially here in Gavin, and if it does, there must be a high-yield flutter bomb hidden inside.

After the surprise, the young red dragon cautiously asked, "Lord Lord, I don't know what the conditions are?" ”

"All the coarse silver bricks and treasures here, I will transport them." Gavin had a deep understanding of the dragon's greed that went deep into the bone marrow.

At the beginning, because of the treasure, the undead ghosts transformed into the young red dragon were almost out of control.

Even if he has absolute control over the young red dragon, he can't hand over a bunch of treasures to him to guard, otherwise who knows what unexpected things he will do?

At the same time, he couldn't hide his disappointment on the face of the young red dragon dragon, and at the same time, he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, so he didn't have to worry about whether he would not be able to control his greed and do something stupid, nodded and said, "It should be a matter of course." ”

"What do you think you should do now that you're here?" Gavin's question obviously has an element of teaching and learning, and he wants to see how much the young red dragon has learned during the period of following him.

The young red dragon replied without thinking: "Being a low-key dragon will never easily appear in the field of vision of humans, let alone hunting in human horse farms." ”

"You'll learn and sell now." Gavin couldn't help but laugh and scold, this was the first order he gave Roderick after he brought him here, there was no need for those strong people in the Radiant City to make a move, there were several in Anfil Village that could destroy his existence, "What I'm talking about, how are you going to manage those kobolds outside?" ”

To motivate the young Red Dragon, Gavin added, "If you manage it here for a day, you will own a tenth of the output of the silver mine." ”

As soon as he heard that there was money to be gained, the young red dragon suddenly came to his senses.

At first glance, the salary does not seem to be much, which is a hundred kilograms of coarse silver ingots a month, and when converted, it is only more than three hundred gold coins.

But from what he knew, Gavin would not be satisfied with the current state of the silver mines, and when the major development began, it would be much more than that.

Wrong.

Listening to Gavin's meaning, he is ready to throw his hands to manage this silver mine for himself, this is to test his management level, and only if he manages it well, can he retain it for a long time.

The young red dragon immediately began to rack his brains, remembering what he had seen and heard during his time in the dragon oak collar, and what he knew about the murderous and cunning master in front of him, and replied, "I will go to the mountain range behind me to gather more kobolds and increase the number of kobolds here." ”

He has fully seen what it means to have a lot of strength in the dragon oak collar, even if it is a small kobold, if there are enough of them, they can burst out with the power that shocks the ancient dragons, and he has an innate advantage in this regard, which has been fully verified on the side of the stone bridge hills before.

"That's the number one." Gavin nodded slightly, affirming this, gathering the wild kobolds around for his own use, it is definitely the first choice for the dragon to rule a place, and added, "But don't use the trick of Shiqiao Hills in person, send more nimble kobold lobbyists, go out to lobby those wild kobolds to come and join, meet those stubborn tribes, and then go out in person, or don't make a move, you must be sure that you are victorious, give them a thunderous blow, you can shock the surroundings, and your whereabouts can not be exposed, Try not to be exposed, this place is too close to the power of the human race, and you are here, and you don't have the advantage of the Swift Peng. ”

"It's still the lord's thoughtfulness, I will definitely do it, and be a dragon in a low-key manner." The haughty young Red Dragon, under Gavin, had learned to be humble, at least in front of him, humble enough.

Gavin's affirmation gave Roderick full confidence, and continued: "I hope that Lord Lord can deploy a hundred dragon-blooded kobolds from the territory, preferably red dragon-blooded kobolds. ”

"Oh? Tell us what you think. The smile in Gavin's eyes became even stronger, he originally had the idea of pulling the general from the inside of the sword, and temporarily pressed the young red dragon here, and then replaced him when there was a suitable commander.

Unexpectedly, the other party was a little unexpected, and there was really something in his stomach.

Come to think of it, the other party is a giant dragon after all, because the other party is a notorious red dragon, he didn't lean too much resource cultivation on him like he did with the young copper dragon Ewensa, but under the influence of his ears and eyes, he can still learn a lot of new things.

"There are three reasons for this, one is that the Red Dragon Dragon Blood Kobold, who is naturally close to me, and living with me for a long time will further purify the Red Dragon Blood in their bodies, and it is possible to awaken more powerful power.

The second is that the silver refining production line needs to deal with flames all year round, and the dragon-blooded kobold have a unique advantage in this regard, and those ordinary kobolds here have a tendency to do this, and they can better integrate into it.

The third is to use veterans to lead new soldiers, a dragon-blooded kobold from the dragon oak collar is enough to supervise more than a dozen kobolds who have just surrendered, and from the suppression of dragon blood, even if they enter a new group, dragon-blooded kobolds are also born superior. ”

The head of the young red dragon is the Tao, he is a pure dragon, he didn't care about the existence of kobolds before, once he pays attention, it is easy to find the connection and fit between him and them.

"Good, good, good." Gavin involuntarily nodded again and again, these three of the young red dragon can be said to be all in the idea, the characteristics of the kobold, and the concept of bringing the old with the new to the extreme, "Are there any other ideas?" Say it together, and I'll help you refer to it. ”

Just based on what the young red dragon said above, the candidate for the garrison here is none other than him.

But Gavin still wants to dig deeper, to see, how far this young red dragon has grown? Is it worth spending your own energy to cultivate?

As I said before, with the continuous increase in strength, his employment concept is also constantly changing.

He had previously placed too much emphasis on the innate faction, and had neglected the acquired influences, especially the oppressive influences that directly controlled the soul.

It is undeniable that the young red dragon is not a good bird, and it is evident that he entered the dragon's nest before and ate two kobolds in a row to kill chickens and monkeys, and it is the young red bronze dragon Ewensa here, not to mention that he can't do it, and even such an idea will not be generated, which is the essential difference between the two.

But for fear of his own wrath and punishment, Roderick rarely transgressed what he forbidden.

As long as he abides by the laws and regulations he has made, then he is his own legal citizen, and his nature is to be orderly and kind? Or what does chaos evil do?

Compared to these haves and nos, a large number of useful talents are the most important thing for Gavin.

"The next thing needs the cooperation of the lord." The young red dragon was forcibly suppressed by Gavin for more than half a year, and it was completely activated at this moment.

"Tell me about it."

"It's best not to keep any of those eagle kobolds, and send them all to the dragon oak collar to receive a new education and baptism." The young red dragon talked eloquently, not like a giant dragon, but like a young military advisor, "There are two reasons, one is for the good of these eagle kobolds, their bloodline has been affected by that swift peng, it is difficult to be affected by my tone, even if it is affected, it will become nondescript, it is better to maintain the current appearance, at least it is more unique, and can be used as an air force reconnaissance or air sentry."

Second, they must be the middle and high-level managers of this place, even if they are sincere and have no second hearts, but some things have been solidified, according to the lord, they already have their own label attributes, but it is not easy to hit our dragon rubber collar, only by kicking them out, we can better complete the assimilation of this place. ”

The two reasons also include the characteristics of the kobold itself, and also have the consideration of people's hearts, I dare not say that it is comprehensive, but it can be regarded as very comprehensive, which makes Gavin nod again and again.

The young red dragon took advantage of the excitement and continued: "This is just a preliminary management model, I think that in the middle and late stages, you can select the kobold elites here and send them to the Dragon Rubber Collar for further edification, assimilation, or according to their ability, they will be transferred with the more suitable personnel on the side of the Dragon Rubber Collar, even if they return here in the end, they will have a sense of identity with the Dragon Rubber Collar."

It is best to send the kobold eggs here to the ovaries of the dragon oak mother tree to hatch together, and then deploy them collectively.

At that time, even if there are geographical differences, the two sides will be in the same nest, and the sense of identity between them will be stronger. ”

Roderick's suggestion is not from his own personal point of view, but from the perspective of the entire dragon oak collar.

As for his suggestion, is it because he has developed a sense of identity with the dragon oak collar, like those kobolds, dedicated to this big collective?

Whether it's to curry favor with Gavin and win more impression points, that's only for him to know.

No matter from which point he starts, Gavin can't help but glance at this red dragon, because this means that whether he is sincere or false, he can take a good handle and know what he wants most, as long as he can make a choice that is beneficial to himself and his territory, there is no need to delve into other things.
