When he returned to the cottage, Wang Yong's space ring had already contained more than 30 large and small wild meats, which were enough for all the militia to improve their food.

On the way, Wang Yong did not run back by himself, but walked back with Lei and them 'slowly', and everyone chatted about the interesting things they had just hunted while hurrying.

Back at the cottage, Wang Yong and Amy didn't go to the hall, but after saying hello to Reagan and the others, they rode Xiao Hei directly to the kitchen.

The kitchen is located by the river to the east of the cottage, and the women also live here with their children to make it easier to do their laundry.

When Wang Yong and Amy rode Xiao Hei to the kitchen, there was a group of little kids running wildly, and they were all too scared to move when they saw Xiao Hei. The son of the big blow, Xiao Niu, was directly frightened and cried.

Seeing this, Wang Yong and Amy hurriedly went over to comfort them, and Wang Yong even tried their best to bluff and deceive, and finally gave each little child a bag of fried beans before it stopped.

Xiao Niu wiped his snot and tears while stuffing fried beans into his mouth, followed by a few children older than him, and circled around Xiao Hei with a curious face. After Wang Yong instructed Xiao Hei not to scare these little children, he went into the kitchen to find the cook.

Wang Yong took out the prey in the ring and handed it to the cook, and instructed the cook: "After the game is cooked, give it to Xiao Hei to eat first, and let us improve the food at noon with the rest." Also, leave two horned sheep for the dwarves and the minotaurs, and bring them to Kevin when he passes. The cook smiled and nodded in agreement.

Wang Yong told Xiao Hei to wait here, he must listen to Amy's words, and someone will bring him food in a while, and seeing that Xiao Hei understood what he meant, Wang Yong turned around and left.

When the cook saw that there was so much game, he called in some more women to help.

When the women saw Xiao Hei, they were also very frightened, and their eyes were full of fear. After learning that Xiao Hei was the boss's mount, their eyes became much softer, and then they saw Xiao Hei lazily lying on the ground basking in the sun, looking lazy and well-behaved, and immediately overflowed with love, no matter what bread and vegetables were, they gave Xiao Hei to eat.

A group of little kids are the most courageous, and they will touch Xiao Hei when they have nothing to do, and they will generously share their fried beans with Xiao Hei to eat. Xiao Hei sniffed with his nose, then turned his head and continued to bask in the sun, not at all of those little children.

After more than an hour, the game was ready, and Amy came to Little Black with a large wooden basin. The wooden basin was full of roasted meat, Xiao Hei hadn't eaten for several days, first yelled softly at Amy, and then rubbed Amy's arm with his head, and then lowered his head and ate the barbecue in the basin.

A few little kids who were running around Xiao Hei didn't run away after seeing the barbecue in the basin, staring at the barbecue with their eyes watering.

Amy went into the kitchen again to get some barbecue, divided a piece for each of them, and sent them to play so as not to disturb Xiao Hei from eating.

Xiao Hei is big and very edible, Amy made a total of three pots of barbecue for Xiao Hei before he was full, and then Xiao Hei followed behind Amy and went to the hall together.

When he arrived at the door of the hall, Xiao Hei curiously stretched out his head to look inside, and felt that he would be very crowded when he entered, so he lay on the door to bask in the sun.

After a hearty lunch and seeing Kevin off, everyone went about their own business.

Vani went to inspect the wall, and Nuo Sen went to Sarah to learn about military management, and Wang Yong had nothing to do, and finally decided to go with Lei to study the magic circle.

When he came to Lei He's temporary gold training room, Wang Yong took out Emily's gold training notes, and found two magic arrays to discuss and study with Lei He.

The two magic arrays selected by Wang Yong, one is to control the temperature of the flame, and the other is the magic array that is pressurized by the wind system. With the alchemy notes as a reference, plus Regan's experience and Wang Yong's unique insights, the two soon made some progress.

At the beginning, it was very smooth, but when it came to the back, Wang Yong suddenly discovered that the magic array needed the magic crystal to provide energy to maintain its operation, which made Wang Yong very painful.

Wang Yong asked Reagan to enlarge the proportion of the magic array, calculated the speed of the consumption of magic crystals, and finally came to the conclusion that if this magic array is used to calcine cement, pottery, steel or something, not to mention whether it makes money or not, there is no place to buy a large number of magic crystals that need to be consumed first, this conclusion makes Wang Yong really depressed.

Wang Yong remembered that he had mentioned the magic crystal charging to Lei Xiang before, so he asked: "Have you found a solution to the magic crystal charging I talked about before?"

Lei didn't answer, took the alchemy notebook and flipped to the end, pointed to a magic array that looked very, very complicated on it and said, "This magic array can charge the magic crystal, but I can't understand it at all." ”

Wang Yong looked at the dense lines and a large number of annotations, and only felt dizzy. But Wang Yong didn't give up, and let Lei continue to study the two magic arrays just now, and he looked at the annotation on the magic array that the magic crystal was charged.

Time passed little by little, and at dinnertime, Maury rushed back.

Seeing the dust on Mo Li's body, Wang Yong first asked him to take a bath, and then prepared a sumptuous barbecue dinner for him.

After Mori enjoyed a sumptuous dinner, Wang Yong said to Mori: "I asked you to come back this time, because there is a new task for you, I want you to buy 2,000 slaves in a month, how about it?"

Thinking that he had misheard, Maury asked with a stunned face, "How many? Two thousand slaves?"

Wang Yong nodded and said: "That's right, it's two thousand slaves, we are short of manpower now, and we also need to look at manpower to build a territory in the future." Although 2,000 slaves are still a bit insufficient, we don't have much gold now, so we have to buy so much first. How? Can it be done?"

Maury thought for a moment and said embarrassedly: "If it's difficult, I can go to Ramos and ask, they should be able to do it, but I can't guarantee the time." ”

Wang Yong nodded and said, "Okay, this matter should be done as soon as possible." Also, when buying slaves, first explain to them the situation and treatment here, and if you are willing to come, you can buy their families with you. ”

Maury smiled and nodded, "The slaves know that the boss will give them back their freedom in the future, I don't think they will care about the risk now, after all, freedom is the most important thing for them." Wang Yong smiled silently, because he knew very well what the slaves wanted most.

Wang Yong continued: "Also, if you can, buy another 10,000 gold coins of grain." Seeing that there are as many magic crystals as there are to buy, remember, as long as the low-level magic crystals are enough, the intermediate-level ones are enough to buy a few, and the high-level ones are not needed. ”

Mori knew that Reagan was an alchemist, and it was natural that he needed magic crystals, so he didn't ask much: "Okay, I can find the Ramos Chamber of Commerce to do it together, and they also do business in this area." ”

Wang Yong hesitated for a while and said, "There's nothing else to do, you rest for two days first, and in a few days we will destroy all the bandits, and then I will find someone to go with you." ”

The reason why Wang Yong did not let Mori set off as soon as possible was because there were still many variables in the plan, and Wang Yong was not completely sure, if the operation failed, it would be better to keep the gold coins.

Wang Yong suddenly remembered something, so he asked Mori: "By the way, how are they doing?"

Murray replied: "A small shipment of grain has been received, and they will be back in a few days." ”

Wang Yong asked Mori: "By the way, you used to do slave business, do you know how to turn ordinary people into slaves?"

Mo Li glanced at Wang Yong in surprise, and then said uncertainly: "The specifics are not very clear, I only know that it seems that I took some medicine first, and then used the magic array to make a contract." ”

Wang Yong nodded and said, "I know, when you go out to purchase, by the way, let's see if you can hire someone from the Ramos Chamber of Commerce to help us contract a group of slaves." After Mori left, Wang Yong ran to Lei and continued to study the magic array that charged the magic crystal.

In the Imperial Palace, the emperor finished reading a small note handed over by the guards, and then handed the note to Prince Xihami with a smile and said: "This Ivan still has some ability, it only took such a short time to eliminate the bandits in the entire southern part of the coastal province, and now it seems that we are still preparing some plans, it seems that we have underestimated his ability." ”

Prince Xihami read the note, and said with a smile: "Yes, this Ivan is very courageous, and he is willing to use tens of thousands of gold coins to refine poison to control the captured bandits, such a big stroke, is not something that ordinary people can do." ”

The emperor nodded slightly and said, "Xihami, what do you think of this?"

Prince Xihami said without hesitation: "I think Ivan is still a little young, too soft-hearted, if you train for a few more years, you can be a lord and be competent, but it is not suitable to lead troops to fight." ”

The emperor asked curiously, "Oh?

Prince Sihami replied: "The reason why Ivan did not buy more slaves to exterminate the bandits is that I guess he does not want to watch those slaves die for him in vain." He was a very special person, he didn't look at slaves like we do, and in his eyes, he didn't have any class concept, which he could see if he could call some commoners. ”

The emperor nodded and said, "I think so too, but if it were you, what would you do?"

Prince Xihami pondered for a moment and said, "Let's put it this way, if I were in this situation, I would not spend a lot of gold coins to refine potions, I would buy a few hundred slaves to deal with those bandits." After I have a certain foundation, I will find a way to win over some bandits, give them some benefits, and let them help me destroy other bandits together, so that I can not only preserve my own strength, but also save a lot of gold coins. ”

The Emperor commented: "Your method is based on paying the lowest price, and is suitable for high-level strategy, but not for Ivan." ”

Seeing Prince Xihami's puzzled gaze, the emperor explained: "Time, your plan needs more time, but Ivan doesn't have much time left, and he will have to face the regular army of the Eternal Empire in the future." But I agree with you that he is soft-hearted, and if he is willing to buy more slaves to fight for him, I think he will be able to eliminate the bandits in his territory sooner. Prince Sihami nodded approvingly.
