Chapter 125: The Familiar Aikenuo Dragon
The difficulty of conquering the Rat Man tribe is much simpler than Xu Nan imagined, but there were many variables in the process.
Zula's death reduced a lot of resistance for him, but also brought new challenges.
The potential gaze of the God of Qi Blood gave him some pressure. He began to think about whether it was the right choice to place Anonymous City here; although this evil god no longer had much ability to struggle, the lean camel was bigger than a horse. If the God of Qi Blood was in a better state than Pierre estimated, it might cause a catastrophe for Anonymous City!
But after some analysis and thinking, Xu Nan finally did not choose to avoid danger.
It’s not that he is brave, but because the general world is full of crises!
The Northern Continent is already considered a territory that is relatively neglected by the gods, but it is still constrained by the kingdom of heaven everywhere; even in a country like Wildfire City, there are many chess pieces lurking in the church. As a bridgehead for Stephen San and Paradise Lost to enter the main material world, compared with the evil gods, the gods of heaven are the existence Xu Nan needs to be wary of the most.
The current location of Anonymous City is actually a relatively stable reef in the vortex.
To point to one direction: Go north, it is the boundary between the Pro world and Alfalia. Not only are there many divine envoys, angels, and voters stationed, but it is normal to hide a few saints of gods; going south is the core area of the eastern kingdom. Since Caesar's blood decline, the rise and fall of dynasties in the northern continent have been accompanied by traces of support from gods. Although the control of the kingdom of heaven's realm in the heaven's realm is constantly declining, and Stephenson's reputation is enough to shock the little ones, but trouble is inevitable.
What Xu Nan and Anonymous City now need is time to develop. He does not want to waste any energy on arguing with the Church of the Gods and secular forces.
The underground world is full of thunder. If you go a little deeper, it is the territory of the ancient gods. Although the ancient gods sleep more fragrant than the seven-blood gods, their spokespersons are more cruel than the other, and they are far from what Lord Xu can mess with now.
By this calculation, the area of Wild Fire City can really be regarded as "simple in the folk customs" in the Northern Mainland. After all, everything needs to be compared with similar ones.
"There is no way, who can let the main material world of the general world hide dragons and creep tigers? Just hit a goblin, and your ancestors may have dragon veins..."
Xu Nan laughed at himself and put those concerns with lower possibility behind his mind.
After Zula's death, he successfully obtained allegiance from the Itka people and incorporated them into the daily residents of Anonymous City through some simple means - this behavior is said to have caused some riots among the people of Iceland, but it was quickly calmed down.
After all, Anonymous City has always been a diversified city. Before the people of the Iceland moved in, they were given many vaccinations; and after moving in, they also saw the City Lord Guard walking openly on the streets - among them, the seven Tartar soldiers, the City Lord Iron Guard, were the most eye-catching. Of course, the Elephant Guard, which is heroic in style, is not inferior. When you go out on the street in the middle of the night, you can often see the white-clothed resentful souls and the newly born undead in the cemetery familiar with the terrain route; as for the workaholics in the plantation, they even got into a circle with the people of the Iceland.
With these different races as precedents, the emergence of rats only triggered a temporary commotion.
The only thing that made the people of Iceland feel dissatisfied was that they felt that the city lord was too fond of Itkara people.
As the main miners, Icelanders can only be allowed to open residences in the outer city. If you want to move into the inner city, you must accumulate sufficient contributions or pay sky-high price Dengyun coins - of course there is an additional way, that is, accumulate military achievements, but the Anonymous City has not yet fought outside the world - in this case, the rat people can directly move into the park with a brand new super alchemy factory concept!
Xu Nan didn't say much about this, time is enough to prove everything. In his eyes, the value of these rats is indeed much higher than that of ordinary people in the ice field.
To be honest, the racial talent of the Icelanders is just average, because of their large population and good reproductive ability - but this is the case compared to the dwarf. The dwarfs in Anonymous City have performed very well since they found their life value in the plantation. Compared with the construction and mining of dungeons, Xu Nan found that they were better at farming. In this regard, their enthusiasm made the creatures of other races ashamed.
Xu Nan thought that the blood of the dwarfs probably portrayed the profound ancestral teachings of food if they did not have enough food. Therefore, when encountering projects that could easily produce a large amount of food, they would be enthusiastic about working than ever before.
The current dwarf tribe not only reproduces beyond expectations, but their output in the plantation is also amazing. With advanced earth technology such as hybrid rice, the dwarf tribe with no more than 1,000 people can contribute nearly 10,000 people to the supply of food.
After Anonymous City 2.0 was completed, Xu Nan also gave the dwarf demons the same treatment and status as the Bingyuan people, which made the endless gratitude of the dwarf demons become tap water for the city lord's heart and kind word-of-mouth publicity, and to a certain extent, it also provided a good foundation for the security and stability of Anonymous City.
As for the newly relocated Itka Rat tribe, the reason why they receive such preferential treatment is actually because of the extraordinary magical talent they come with!
Through previous observations, Xu Nan had long confirmed that this rat-man tribe possessed a rare magical talent under the radiation of the emerald mine for many years; and the group evolution guided by Zula was just a small amount of development of these talents, and they had greater potential.
Although the rat people like to take risks, they are also curious about exploring the truth. What Xu Nan wants is to inspire the rat people to explore. His real purpose is to cultivate a group of practical and capable alchemist confidants.
According to Liuhuo's calculations, the Itkas have transcendent sensitivity to magic, but due to their racial talent, there are still many bottlenecks in their desire to become super mages, at least a lot of standard deviation from the Arcane Empire; but it is more than enough to become an excellent alchemist.
At least in a short time, this group of rat people will provide Xu Nan with the initial alchemy support.
To this end, he specially opened the alchemy workshop where he worked alone before, and purchased a large amount of primary and intermediate alchemy knowledge from Paradise Lost and provided it with free access to rats.
After Xu Nan's publicity and temptation, at least 80% of rat people were willing to become exclusive contracted alchemists for the city lord and began to study and work in alchemy in the alchemy workshop.
Although at present, these rats cannot form an effective alchemy money-making effect, their learning progress is really surprising. It is only slightly weaker than Xu Nan, a wall hanging that only needs to knock on the bloodline fruit. The most powerful example is that a few adolescent rats have just entered the alchemy workshop and have created a batch of more powerful and durable inflatable puppets... Of course, Xu Nan does not agree with the aesthetics, after all, there are racial differences.
In Xu Nan's plan, this group of rat people will soon become the backbone of the Anonymous City Alchemy Industrial Park.
He needed this batch of strength very much. After all, with the rapid expansion of the mine, the first batch of high-purity gold and silver ores that had been preliminarily sorted have begun to be continuously transported to the warehouses of Anonymous City.
The quality of these gold and silver ores is very good. They only need to go through the necessary assembly line procedures to melt into real gold and silver. The magic industrial system provided by Dengyun Ship also covers this area. As long as the assembly line and machine can keep up, production capacity is not a problem.
At present, Xu Nan just asked the professions to organize a group of ice field craftsmen for experimental refining. The effect seemed very average. They could not quickly use the equipment on the Dengyun ship to correctly refine the ore. Even if Liuhuo provided a comprehensive operating manual, the progress could not be expanded for a long time.
It can be seen that the Icelanders have relatively poor understanding. At least in the short term, Icelanders who have not received much training are more suitable for working as miners rather than technical jobs in alchemy factories.
Xu Nan had a headache about this.
These ores are of high quality, but after the shortcomings of Anonymous City's insufficient processing ability are exposed, their whereabouts become a problem: Xu Nan does not want to sell these ores to Paradise Lost or Stephen San at a low price. He knows very well that those who sell primitive energy can only make small profits at most.
Therefore, even though he is under pressure from the increase in inventory, the increase in labor costs, and the delay in profitability of the Anonymous City Alchemy System, Xu Nan is still trying various ore treatment methods.
...
"How did your Arcane Empire deal with metal ores before?"
In the office, the city lord, bent over by a lot of documents, reached out to grab the mug dejectedly, but found that the coffee in the cup had dried up and could only wave to the elephant man at the door helplessly.
However, the Elephant Guard, who was appointed as a personal assistant by Xu Nan, was obviously slow to react. He didn't react for a long time to see what Xu Nan wanted, which made Xu Nan sigh.
If it weren't for the sake of keeping the secret, he wouldn't have chosen an elephant as his office assistant!
Fortunately, Liuhuo answered Xu Nan's troubles in time:
"The Arcane Empire does not deal with basic metal ores."
"These are usually handled by the subordinate forces of the empire and then flow into the empire in a situation of taxation and tribute…"
Xu Nan can only laugh.
The decaying arcane empire!
I really want to try this decay!
"I mean, what race are those subordinate forces usually? What kind of magical industrial civilization level do they have?"
Xu Nan knocked on the table.
Liuhuo thought for a while and answered quickly:
"The refining of the raw ore is very simple. Eliminating pollution problems, some small factories can provide such business; but in order to handle metal ore perfectly and properly, I remember that Aikeno Silong has done the best."
Aikeno Silong?
Xu Nan was stunned for a moment. After a simple blood knowledge search, the surprise on his face turned into a bitter smile.
It turns out that the so-called Aikenoth Dragon is a member of the Aikeno dragon clan.
The dragon clan has a long history in the multiverse. Whether it is humans, dwarves, or other races, there are often shadows of dragons appearing in the history of them.
These creatures with huge bodies and extraordinary strength occupy the top levels of the multiverse biological chain.
However, there are many different opinions about the origin of the dragon. Even Stephenson's wise scholar cannot give a conclusion that satisfies everyone.
After all, the Pro world has developed to this day, and has merged and swallowed countless worlds, and has undergone tremendous changes from the original primitive form.
According to the knowledge provided by Paradise Lost, the dragons in the Prolo world can generally be planned into three systems: the Dragon Island system, the Aikeno system and the Dulaire system.
The Dragon Island system is almost the original profession among professions. All the dragon forms existing in Dragon Island are masterpieces of Lannis at the beginning of creation; they were born in the secret realm of the Garden of Eden and then reproduced around the world. The bronze dragon vest that was sleeping on Xu Nan's neck is the representative of the Dragon Island system.
Dragon Island is one of the rare places in the world that are free from the world. It is said that it hides the huge secrets of the beginning of creation, and even Ferlando is coveting them. Unfortunately, the foundation of Dragon Island is unfathomable. It not only has the protection of an eternal dragon that transcends the limitations of time, but also some strange traces of ancient races.
The Lion King's wife is a lineage of many ancient races on Dragon Island. In fact, Xu Nan has seen it with his strong strength. After all, even the saint clone of the Ice and Snow Goddess was pinched into sugar beans by that lady. No wonder the gods coveted Dragon Island so much but did not dare to take action.
If Dragon Island symbolizes the native species of the Pro World, then the two giant dragon systems of Aikenno and Dulaire are representatives of the integration of foreign dragons into this world.
Both of these dragon clans were once kings of another world, but their world was engulfed by the Proud gods and eventually could only be integrated into the Proud world. Their number was very rare, and compared to the native species, it was pitifully few.
Among them, the Aikeno dragon was even more miserable. They were annexed by the gods and were looted by the Arcane Empire led by the first wizard king.
For a time, the most popular dish in the Arcane Empire was cooked with the flesh and blood of the Aikeno dragon.
...
"There is no killing without a deal!"
Thinking of this, Xu Nan suddenly felt excited.
He always felt that the Aikeno dragon looked familiar and could not remember it for a while; but at this moment, he looked at the detailed cooking process of the Aikeno dragon provided in the blood knowledge, and suddenly he had some clues.
He turned his bloodline knowledge to the appendix on the last page in one breath. Appendix 4 is a variety of cooking recipes for the Aikeno dragon.
Among them, there is a page of the latest refresh, which is obviously attached recently, and it says:
[……After the above process is over, you can serve it. However, the essence is that the flavor is the best to apply Laoganma hot sauce produced on the Earth plane as an auxiliary material...]
The commentator is Luo Mang.
"I said why do I look familiar? The first time I went to visit the teacher's house, the dragon that Smith and his wife caught was the Aikeno dragon!"
Xu Nan slapped his head.
Aikenothyron is a branch of Aikenothyron. It is weak in strength, but it is a natural ore treatment worker.
They feed on various metal minerals, but have an incompatible stomach and intestines. After digestion and absorption, they can discharge a large amount of metal with extremely high refinement. Only a small part can be absorbed by them. They can be said to be cows in the dragon world!
The throughput of each Aikeno tin dragon is amazing. With the current metal inventory in Anonymous City, the two tin dragons are enough to meet daily needs.
The question is, where can I go to work for myself?
Just at this moment, a message from Paradise Lost made Lord Xu smile:
[Mr. Luo Mang returned from his honeymoon and was in a good mood. You can visit him.]
The signature is of course Mr. Smith, who Xu Nan has been respected for a long time.
Without saying a word, he left Anonymous City and entered Paradise Lost with the gifts and filial piety that had been prepared long ago.
Chapter completed!
