74. Hierro Raiders
(Green Empire 2588, Spring)
The second price war between the "Fire Gathering Technique" and the "Mini-Tornado" rune board has just begun. Almost all rune board workshops in the imperial capital have suspended the business of these two rune boards. Even the junior inscription masters who are proficient in the "Fire Gathering Technique" and the "Mini-Tornado" magic pattern arrays were forced to give up drawing these two rune boards and try to draw other magic rune boards.
Once the copper hot pot and exhaust fan of magic pattern red copper rune board were released, it made it difficult for the imperial capital to produce these two rune board workshops.
Even if those rune board workshops minimize the price of blank rune boards and leave all profit margins to junior inscriptionists, the cost of each traditional mode "Fire Gathering Technique" rune board cannot be reduced to less than 70 silver coins.
However, this price happens to be the price of a new copper hotpot.
The price of a copper hotpot in a bronze store will not be less than fifteen silver, which means that those runeboard workshops must at least reduce the traditional fire-gathering runeboard to fifty-five silver coins per, so that merchants in the magic store will be profitable.
At the beginning, the rune board workshops and junior inscription masters in the imperial capital believed that this must be someone disrupting the magic market behind the scenes, and the price reduction was also a malicious competition to drag down the opponents. Therefore, some rune board workshops chose to continue even if they lost money.
But they didn't expect that at this price, they persisted until the spring of the following year...
As the dwarf craftsmen successively installed a batch of high-precision gears and transmission shafts onto the magic printers in the Xinliu Valley Blacksmith shop, the success rate of these magic sealing machines for engraving magic patterns suddenly made a qualitative leap. The "Fire Gathering Technique" and "Miniature Tornado" magic rune boards made new breakthroughs. The reduction in the waste rate not only greatly reduced the manufacturing cost, but also significantly improved the output of rune boards.
At the rune workshop, Murray recently recruited several assembly workers in succession to barely assemble all the rune boards produced by Xinliugu.
In the eyes of other runeboard workshop owners, copper hot pot and exhaust fans will basically lose about ten silver if they sell one. But for me, these fire-gathering rune boards and miniature tornado rune boards have been making profits, and the benefits brought to me by these two rune boards alone are nearly 500 magic crystals per month.
This is why the second price cut after the innovation of the manufacturing technology of the Magic Seal Workshop was achieved.
This time, I asked Murray to reduce the price of copper hotpot to fifty silver coins per unit, and the price of each red copper magic pattern "Fire Gathering Technique" rune board to thirty-five silver coins. The price of the "Miniature Tornado" rune board also made an equal price adjustment. This price has just appeared in the magic store and the magic market in the entire imperial capital is boiling.
The junior inscriptionists finally gave up their last pride and persistence. They chose to try to draw other types of magic rune boards. Although this familiar process will be long and will also make these inscriptionists pay high tuition fees, it is better than hanging them on a tree.
...
In the past, every twenty-five giant crossbow arrows were printed in the Magic Seal Workshop, which almost made a qualified giant crossbow arrow with double magic attributes, and also included four or five giant crossbow arrows with single attributes.
But now, when old dwarf craftsmen replaced those easily worn copper gears with high precision steel gears, the success rate of printing giant crossbow arrows suddenly increased to a successful creation of a double magical giant crossbow arrow every fifteen.
Not only that, the success rate of single-attribute magic crossbow arrows is basically the same as that of waste crossbow arrows, which means that at least half of the remaining fourteen giant crossbow arrows are magic crossbow arrows that operate freely in single-attributes.
In this way, the two-attribute giant crossbow arrows made by the Magic Seal Workshop can not only satisfy my own use consumption of the barbarian slave troops, but also sell them to the outside world. This part of the two-attribute giant crossbow arrows can also bring me a lot of profits immediately.
At the same time, the one-attribute giant crossbow arrow created with the manufacture will replace the attributeless giant crossbow arrow and become one of the main magic items sold to the outside world.
In the past, the "penetration" effect giant crossbow arrow with thirty-five silver coins will be reduced to twenty silver coins, and the "sharp" effect giant crossbow arrow with twenty-five silver coins will be reduced to fifteen silver coins. In this way, the "sharp" attribute giant crossbow arrow is already very close to the ordinary giant crossbow arrow with 4 silver coins. Moreover, the giant crossbow arrows on this kind of bed crossbow can often be used repeatedly. Perhaps more lords are willing to accept the price of single-attribute giant crossbow arrows.
...
Four old dwarves were busy making the third generation of new magic engraving machines at the Xinliugu Blacksmith Shop.
The production plans of the two magic rune boards designed by Yekis scholars, "glimmer illumination" and "continuous frost", are included in the schedule. The former will be made into magic wall lights, and the latter will be used to make it into a freezer.
These two magic items mainly face the nobles in the imperial capital. As long as they want to improve the quality of their lives, I believe that these magic items will definitely not be missing in their lives.
In addition, in order to support plane wars, especially to improve the combat power of 500 barbarian slaves, I also want to further the power of giant crossbow arrows. At present, the two-attribute giant crossbow arrows are now completely broken. Therefore, this time I focused on the giant crossbow arrows. According to my preliminary idea, it is to inlaid a magic rune board of the "primary wind control technique" on the arrow shafts made of indigo and hard oak, so that at least one-quarter of the range of giant crossbow arrows can be increased.
Moreover, this time, a "primary wind control technique" rune board made of a semi-circular thin copper plate is inlaid on the arrow shaft, so it will not be difficult to print such a rune board, and the price of this "primary wind control technique" magic rune board will not be higher than thirty silver coins in the future.
The new giant crossbow arrow will be promoted and used in my savage slave team.
Speaking of those barbarian slaves, under the leadership of Kalancho and Justus, in the Green Valley Jungle, they cooperated with the Jero natives to fight against the Spider-Man warriors in the two spider-camps in the east and west. A total of six Spider-Man commanders were stationed in these two spider-camps. Even so, Kalancho's wolf attack tactics still made the Spider-Man warriors suffer a lot.
When encountering the Spiderman General, Kalancho will ask the orcs to arrange warriors to ride war horses in the dense forest. Once the Spiderman General escapes from the cover of the Spiderman soldiers and falls into the dense forest, they will be immediately introduced into the ambush circle. Not only are nearly 400 barbarian slaves waiting for the Spiderman General, but there will also be a large wall of fire. Even if the Spiderman General can rush out of this ambush circle, they will be entangled by the vines of the tree spirits in the dense forest.
The tree spirits in the dense forest of Green Valley are no longer just providing us with convenient forest passages and information about the Nebru spider-man. They have joined the battle against the Nebru spider-man. Although these tree spirits cannot move in the dense forest, they can wrap vines around the Nebru spider-man passing by them.
In recent times, I took the time to return to the Yero plane. I was just in Trum camp, scrambling the supplies in the underground warehouse of the Sinliu Valley with a group of barbarian slaves and female orcs.
Since more than 3,000 workers work day and night every day in the Trum camp, they consume a lot of infrastructure materials every day. Although there are abundant forest resources around the camp, other materials are transported from the underground warehouse of Xinliu Valley, especially the large amount of stone stored in the Xinliu Valley Quarry, which are continuously transported to the underground warehouse by light rail mine trucks, and they are carried to the underground warehouse by barbarian slaves.
Fortunately, hunting captured enough barbarian slaves in winter. Although their rude nature has not been completely worn out in the quarry, there is no problem asking them to come to the underground warehouse to transport stones.
Especially when they saw the fifty barbarian slave warriors stationed at Trum Camp, wearing full-covered black iron armor and carrying huge heavy crossbows. They would move casually in Trum Camp, and there would always be delicious giant spider leg meat. The meat fragrance made these barbarian slaves carrying stone salivate, so they found that their future slave life was actually reasonable...
So my whole body was filled with strength, carrying stones and strode between the portals.
Not only the barbarians, but even the Green Empire people were like this. When they were in a difficult and adversity, they suddenly found that there was hope in the future. Even if it was just a slight slim hope, they would do their best to do all kinds of things for that little bit of hope.
During this period, Kalancho asked the orc-constructed warriors to bring me a large number of black magic crystals from the Green Valley Jungle, including two high-level magic crystals. She and Justus actually brought barbarian slaves and orc warriors to hunt two spider-man commanders in the Green Valley Jungle. This really surprised me. I didn't expect that these spider-man commanders who could surpass the second-transfer warriors in the battle would die twice at the hands of Kalancho and Justus.
The two beautiful annihilation battles commanded by Kalancho also allowed the dwarf Bohnde to see a fact clearly. The dwarf was not suitable for commanding battles in the Green Valley Jungle. So Bohnde returned to Trum camp from the indigenous tribe in the Green Valley Jungle, and he also brought back a large number of magic herbs.
Since Elder Singer and I made the first magic herb transaction, Elder Singer discovered that these magic herbs in the tribe are so valuable. They can not only exchange a large amount of delicious wheat cakes for the indigenous people, but also exchange them for some weapons and equipment. These are exactly what the indigenous people in the tribe lack the most.
In particular, the Nebru spider-man destroyed the ecological balance in the dense forest. The giant spiders hunted prey in the dense forest on a large scale, and the prey in the forest decreased sharply, which actually affected the survival of these indigenous tribes.
The natives usually rely on collecting and hunting in the forest to make a living. The appearance of giant spiders made the natives almost unable to find other prey in the forest. The natives found that they could not fill their stomachs by collecting wild fruits alone. At this time, wheat cakes appeared in the sight of the natives. Elder Singer found that the magic herbs stored in the tribe could be exchanged for a large amount of wheat cakes, so he gathered all the magic herbs in the tribe together and prepared to trade with me for a second time.
Elder Singer learned that the dwarf Bornde decided to return to Trum camp from the indigenous tribe, so he asked Bornde to bring these magic herbs to Trum camp together.
To this end, he also sent a group of Jero natives to help Bornde transport this batch of magical herbs.
When the dwarf Bornder returned to Trum camp with a group of Jero natives carrying heavy herbs behind him, the residents of Tanton in the camp were stunned.
Many of them have lived in Tanton for almost half of their lives. In Tanton, the Yero native slaves are very common, but no one has ever dealt with these Yale native natives.
In the eyes of these Tanton residents, these Jero natives are the most primitive and uncivilized savages. They live a primitive life of eating raw meat and drinking blood. They are born as slaves, but they never thought that these Jero natives had their own civilization in the Black Forest, and they were blessed by the ancient trees of the King of the Forest War.
The natives of Yero were able to carry magical herbs from the Green Valley Jungle, but they could not carry the exchanged wheat flour from Trum camp because there was a huge price difference between the two materials. The wheat flour they exchanged was calculated based on the weight, which was almost fifty times the weight of these magical herbs, and even more.
Even if there are five hundred natives who come again, they will not be able to transport the wheat flour they have received back to the tribe.
Caterina found Cassandra and asked her to help transport the food to these Jero natives back to the indigenous tribe. This was also the first time Cassandra had taken over the indigenous people's business. Although she was a little hesitant, she finally weighed it and agreed.
According to her later description, she was also very nervous at that time. After all, she had never dealt with the indigenous people before. The most important thing was that her adventure group had also hunted indigenous people in the Black Forest, and she had certain prejudice against these indigenous people.
In this way, Cassandra's carriage transport team started to travel between Tanton City and Trum Camp, and now it was between Tanton City, Trum Camp, and Green Valley Jungle Indigenous Tribes. Cassandra was forced to contact the Yero indigenous people because of Katerina's request, and later realized that the Yero indigenous people also had a large number of precious resources, so she slowly tried to make some transactions with the Yero indigenous people.
Standing on the highest north wall of Trum Camp, watching the ever-changing changes of Trum Camp, the walls of Trum Camp have now been scaled. On the originally thirteen meters high, I asked the workers to increase the wall by five meters. For this reason, I had to add an auxiliary wall every twenty-five meters on the inside of the wall. These auxiliary walls look like steep steps from the town of Trum.
A fifty-meter-high arrow tower will be built on the city wall at every 100 meters.
But now these arrow towers have just built a circular base more than 30 meters high, and the large wooden frames and springboards have to be built upwards. From a distance, they look like buildings wrapped in countless wooden strips...
