Chapter 40: Departure to the Territory
In the afternoon, when buying grain, there was a problem, and the merchants who sold grain saw that Wang Yong was buying a large amount of grain, and they all began to increase the price.
One is like this, two are like this, and more than ten are still like this, Wang Yong knows that this is not a coincidence.
Wang Yong didn't have to think about it to know that it was definitely Martin and his gang who did it, but he didn't have anything to do, he couldn't go to the prince for help because of such a trivial matter, that would make people look down on him.
In the end, when Wang Yong decided not to buy grain in the imperial capital and was about to take people back, he unexpectedly found a grain store to sell on a corner of the street.
Wang Yong's eyes rolled, and he thought about it and sent Moli and Kevin out.
The two cooperated again, and after Morry's picking, and Kevin's fooling, they finally bought all the food in the store at half price.
The grain shop had a lot of stock, including 520 bags of semolina, 80 bags of fine flour, and 40 bags of miscellaneous grains of beans and other things, and it cost a total of 226 gold coins.
Among them, a bag of semolina is 30 silver coins, a bag of fine flour is 70 silver coins, and a bag of beans and grains is 50 silver coins, which is much cheaper than the normal retail price, and Wang Yong is very satisfied.
Wang Yong understands that his people have to stay in the territory for a winter, and they will not be able to go out to buy food until the spring of next year, so they can buy as much food as they can now, for fear that they will not have enough to eat at that time.
But now it will take about six months to buy back grain in the spring of next year, and more than 100 of them, based on ten bags of grain every day, will also need about 2,000 bags of grain this winter, and the amount of money purchased now is still a lot worse, Wang Yong decided that he had to buy some more on the road.
When carrying grain, Wang Yong opened his eyes, only to see that each minotaur could carry ten bags of grain at a time, and he still walked like a fly, and he didn't need to rest back and forth, just like a machine that never tires.
Now Wang Yong's psychology is finally balanced, although these minotaurs can eat, they are really capable.
When he returned, Wang Yong asked Kevin to go with the minotaur to the warehouse where the slaves lived, and told them to leave for the territory early tomorrow morning.
Because it took about two months to walk on the road, Wang Yong asked everyone to prepare in advance, and informed Dabuki Carl that they would come back from a shift to pack their things.
He also called Kevin his badge and a piece of red cloth and some gold thread that he had just bought, and asked him to hand them over to the tailors to make Wang Yong's noble flag overnight.
Back at the residence of the Prince's Palace, Wang Yong arranged a room for Mo Li, and then went to Lei and told him to pack his things and leave tomorrow.
As soon as Lei He saw Wang Yong, he said with excitement on his face, "Do you know what I found?"
Wang Yong shook his head suspiciously. Lei asked with a surprised face, "You didn't read that note?"
Wang Yong said helplessly: "How can I have time, I only read a little about the magic array, what's wrong?
Lei glanced at the guards in the courtyard, pulled Wang Yong into his small black room (laboratory), closed the door and whispered: "I found a way to make space equipment, but that thing needs to be engraved with a compound magic array, and it needs an intermediate space mage to inject magic power." ”
Wang Yong was also excited when he first heard that he could make space equipment, but after listening to Regan's words, he became depressed.
With a glimmer of hope, Wang Yong asked Lei with some expectation: "Is it easy to find an intermediate space magician?" If we can find him, we will hire him, and it is a big deal to share his profits." ”
Lei looked at Wang Yong with disdain, and said in a tone of hatred that iron is not steel: "Don't you know that it is difficult to cultivate space magic now? There are only two middle-level space magicians recorded in the entire continent. Let me tell you, since the magic catastrophe hundreds of years ago, there has not been a single space magician above the junior level in the entire continent. ”
Wang Yong looked back at Lei He with even more disdain, and said disdainfully: "Then what are you excited about? There is no intermediate space magician, do you know that the method is useful?"
Lei He explained: "Don't you have a spatial magic affinity, and your spiritual power is still so high, maybe you can cultivate to an intermediate space magician." ”
Wang Yong said sadly: "I'm not even a junior magician now, and I don't know when I will be an intermediate magician, maybe you will already be in the ground by then, so don't count on me." ”
Lei said with great certainty: "I have confidence in you, I have checked some records, the spiritual power of those space mages in the past is not high, and the most one is only ninety-eight cards, which is fifty-seven cards less than your one hundred and fifty-five cards." Also, magicians in other departments, as long as their spiritual power exceeds one hundred and twenty cards, they can basically cultivate to a high-level magician. So, you can almost really do it, so you should step up your efforts to cultivate. ”
After hearing this, Wang Yong also had some confidence in himself, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll work hard to cultivate and strive to be promoted to an intermediate magician before you enter the earth." ”
Lei pouted and continued, "I also found some drawings, these are not gold training things. ”
Wang Yong asked curiously, "What is that?"
Ray whispered, "It's the blueprint of the mechanical repeater." ”
Wang Yong's eyes lit up, and he asked with great interest: "How is the effect?" This thing seems to be available in the empire now, right?"
Lei shook his head and said: "The empire has hand crossbows, but those hand crossbows can only fire one crossbow arrow at a time, and they have to be rewound if they are not fired once, and the range is not far, only about a hundred meters." But the one I found can reach a range of 200 meters if it is made, and it uses an iron crossbow arrow, which has super penetrating power, even if it is the armor of a heavy cavalry, it can be shot through within 100 meters. Moreover, this hand crossbow can be fired consecutively, up to five crossbow arrows in a row, and of course, it can also be fired in a single shot. ”
After hearing this, Wang Yong said excitedly: "You said that if each of our people is issued with a crossbow like this, then wouldn't it be very easy for us to exterminate the bandits in the territory?"
Lei shook his head and said, "How can it be so easy, not to mention the materials, let's just say that those precision parts have to be made by several of the best blacksmiths for a few days." There are also materials, some parts have high hardness and wear resistance, and our current iron, copper, gold, silver and other things cannot meet the requirements at all. The blueprint shows that it uses a magical synthetic metal, which is difficult to craft now due to the lack of raw materials, so it would be nice to find such a metal. ”
Wang Yong frowned and thought: "The hardness and wear resistance are higher than iron, I don't know if steel is okay, let's wait for the steel to come out in the future and let Lei take a look." ”
Wang Yong said with some disappointment: "When I settle down in the territory, I will refine a new metal, and then you can see if it fits." ”
Ray nodded and said, "Okay, I hope you can succeed." ”
Wang Yong patted his head and said, "By the way, I'm here to inform you to pack up, and we'll set off tomorrow." ”
Lei said with an expected face: "Okay, I have bought all the things I need, you can come over tomorrow morning and help me put the gold training materials into the space ring." After speaking, he ignored Wang Yong and picked up his own notes to study.
Wang Yong shrugged helplessly, turned to leave, and after informing the others to leave tomorrow, he chatted with Amy for a while.
Because Lena and Amy lived in the same room, there were a lot of things that were inconvenient to say, so Wang Yong just helped Amy clean up briefly, then went back to his room and began to meditate.
Early the next morning, Wang Yong changed into new clothes sewn for him by Amy, and after breakfast, he went with Lei to bid farewell to Prince Xihami.
When Prince Xihami learned that Wang Yong and they were going to set off for the territory, he didn't do much to keep it, and after instructing him to be careful on the road, he reminded Wang Yong again that the craftsmen he promised in April next year would definitely arrive, and asked Wang Yong to recruit more workers or something.
Wang Yong and Lei Xiang thanked the prince, and then the group left the prince's mansion.
At the door, everyone was ready, the horses had already been brought over, and the carriage with people that had been brought yesterday was also put on the horses, just for Amy, Lina, and the three fox cousins who followed Ray to ride.
Twenty minutes later, everyone arrived at the warehouse where the slaves lived, and they were all ready here, waiting for Wang Yong and others at the door.
More than 600 bags of grain were loaded into three wagons, luggage or something was loaded into a wagon, and there were six empty carts behind, which already had the size of a small convoy.
The stronger slaves were also given their own weapons, and they were guarded on either side of the convoy in a fairly neat procession, and it looked like that.
At this time, the tailor Connie walked up to Wang Yong, handed a noble flag to Wang Yong, and said without humility or arrogance: "Boss, our few of us have made your noble flag overnight." ”
Wang Yong looked at the golden chrysanthemum embroidered on the flag, nodded with satisfaction, and asked people to find a flagpole to put on.
Then he asked Varney, Nossen, Big Blow, and Carl to take out their professional flags and plant them on top of the carriage in which Amy and the others were riding.
Looking at the two noble flags of himself and Reagan and the six professional flags of the majestic junior warriors on the carriage, Wang Yong nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and said loudly: "Let's go!"
When Mo Li saw so many professional flags, he didn't expect Wang Yong's team to be so strong.
Mo Li rode to the front of the team and asked curiously beside Wang Yong: "Boss, I don't know where your territory is? Let's go north, is your territory in Wado Province or West Asia Province?"
Wang Yong said with a wicked smile: "It's nothing, my territory is very large, and it is the entire seaside province." ”
Murray almost fell off his horse by the name of the seaside province, and while slapping his face, he said in annoyance: "Why didn't I ask clearly? Boss, you don't want me to go and talk to the bandits, do you?"
Wang Yong looked like a villain, and said with a wicked smile: "It's too late for you to regret it now, haha." Maury had no choice but to accept his fate, and followed the team with his head down.
After leaving the imperial capital, Wang Yong occasionally looked back at the carriage Amy was riding, but found that the slaves were walking next to the wagon, and no one was going to sit in the empty carriage, Wang Yong muttered to himself: "Why are these people so dead-eyed, aren't they tired of walking?"
But after thinking about it, it turned out that he had forgotten to tell the slaves that they could ride in the carriage, and it was estimated that they would not dare to get on the carriage without the instructions of their master.
Thinking of this, Wang Yong rode his horse to the side of the row of wagons, and shouted loudly to the slaves: "The women and children are on the empty carriages, and those who are inconvenient to walk are also going up, and the rest of the people are also taking turns to go up to rest." ”
After listening to Wang Yong's words, the slaves all looked at Wang Yong with grateful eyes, and said 'thank you, boss', before getting into the carriage.
After Wang Yong saw that the slaves began to get into the carriage, he was about to turn around and go to the front of the team, but found that there were several very discordant figures in the team.
The three dwarves, each of them resisted a standing hammer, ran closely with the team, looking at their two little short-legged legs, and barely keeping up with the team.
The somewhat funny appearance of the three dwarves made Wang Yong want to laugh, but considering that they would be considered racist, Wang Yong still held back.
Wang Yong came to the three dwarves and asked suspiciously, "Why don't you go to the carriage?"
Of the three dwarves, the older one said, "We are strong and easy to move around, so we don't have to ride in a carriage." ”
Wang Yong pouted and said, "You plan to go to the territory at such a trot all the time? ”
The dwarf looked at the gap between himself and the other humans, and jumped on the carriage without bothering, and several minotaurs laughed when they saw it.
Wang Yong smiled and said, "What are you laughing at, if you laugh again, I won't give you food." ”
After hearing this, the eight minotaurs quickly shut up, and now it was the turn of the three dwarves to laugh, and the younger dwarves were still making all kinds of grimaces at the minotaurs, and the angry minotaurs gasped.
Seeing this, the other slaves in the team were also amused by this scene, and the spirit of the whole team was also a lot lighter.
