207. Soul Link
What once was always worried about by Old Kuru, now has really happened.
The lichs in the forest behind the Death Swamp built a skeleton gate leading to the underworld. A large number of undead creatures entered the Pai Plateau of the Roland Continent through the skeleton gate. The orc tribe summoned all tribe warriors to fight with all their might. At this time, no matter what needs the orc tribe had, they naturally had to be satisfied first.
The magic metal market in the Green Empire is still stable. Previously, the five largest mitril silver mines in the Amcherado plane were occupied by the Nakma people, causing the price of mitril silver metal in the Green Empire to soar. The price of mitril silver once caught up with serril silver and fine gold. Now, with His Royal Highness Charlie leading the construction knights of the Royal Constructed Knights to recover the five large open-pit mitril silver mines on Amcherado and the purchase and restoration of the operating order of the magic metal market.
Mithril is widely used in the Green Empire and various primary magic rune boards and magic items, mainly because Mithril has good magic conductivity. In addition, the current metallurgical technology of the Green Empire can plating silver on some metal plates. This hot-dip process can make the mitril on the metal plate as thin as hair, thus greatly reducing the production cost of primary blank magic rune boards.
The Babington family has always monopolized the market for blank mitral magic rune boards of the Green Empire in San Carlos City. A large number of mitral rune boards were produced from the workshops of San Carlos City and were continuously transported to various areas of the Green Empire. Then inscription masters from various places gave these blank rune boards new magic attributes. Many old magic product workshops are closely linked to the local inscription masters. They purchased some finished magic rune boards from the inscription masters to make some magic items.
I still remember the first time I saw this kind of rune-board magic item was on Qige's magic caravan. At that time, Qige's magic caravan had a bathroom built with the "water gathering technique" rune board. Sister Singer took me to take a bath in that bathroom. At that time, I saw countless water droplets gathered from the water collection funnel and felt that the magic was so magical.
Looking back now, that bathroom is just one of the necessary facilities on large magic caravans. Nowadays, the large travel-style magic caravans have added simple kitchens. Some large caravans even have exhaust fans on the roof vents to keep the air in the car unobstructed.
In the Green Empire, the Mirsilian Rune Board is a low-end magic rune board, and most of the primary magic rune boards are drawn with Mirsilian blank rune boards. Therefore, in the magic metal market of the Green Empire, the most traded magic metal is not magic red copper and magic black iron, but Mirsil.
Miltarian has some sacred magic attributes, so Miltarian has the function of restraining undead creatures. This does not mean that undead creatures will die directly when they come into contact with mitral, but a trace of holy light contained in mitral has some corrosive effects on undead creatures. For undead creatures, Miltarian is like a chronic poison. If undead creatures have been exposed to mitral for a long time, the soul fire on their bodies will slowly be extinguished under the evolution of the holy light.
The first choice for the orc tribe to fight against the undead army is of course to add some mitril magic weapons. Therefore, the orc tribe's demand for mitril suddenly increased. The orcs in Gurudin Town proposed to Marvin several recent transactions, and it is understandable that they need to provide some mitril here.
"Did those orcs ask to buy some magic weapons or metal armor mixed with mitral? The magic weapons made in the magic workshop in the Empire are still very well-established." I asked Ma Wen.
Ma Wen shook his head and said only one word "expensive".
For tribal orcs, the items in the Green Empire are still a bit expensive, and the weapons used by humans are basically very light in weight, such as some hammers and sticks, and the orcs prefer dwarfs to make them.
However, just talking about the price of mitril silver in the magic metal market, the Green Empire is relatively low, so the orcs want to buy some mitril silver from the Empire.
I raised my head, looked at Betty who was standing behind me, and said to her, "A few more orders are added to North Duisburg, and they want to produce three more batches of giant crossbow arrows."
There is an order for the Blacksmith Workshop in North Duisburg, and the contract has always been signed with Alia.
The base material of the giant crossbow arrow and rune board is transported to Xinliu Valley through Alia's warehouse, and red copper magic pattern rune board and magic giant crossbow arrow are printed in the magic seal workshop in Xinliu Valley. The abandoned rune board material will be re-furnished in the Blacksmith Workshop in North Duisburg. The successfully printed magic rune board will be sent to the workshop responsible for the assembly of rune boards. Ordinary giant crossbow arrows and single-attribute giant crossbow arrows are left to Alia's warehouse. Then the ordinary giant crossbow arrows will be sold by Alia to the arms dealers of the Marquis of Haslabo. The single-attribute giant crossbow arrows will be given priority to the Nanfeng Legion, but these recently these batches of single-attribute giant crossbow arrows have been sold to Didu, the Marquis of Star Moxiang, to repay the debt brought by the krypton gold.
Betty walked downstairs when Marvin and I started talking about the orc tribe.
Alia is currently checking the accounts of the commercial bank for this quarter. Usually, Betty comes to check the accounts of the commercial bank. Only when each quarter is about to end, Alia will check them in person.
"Master, do you want something else?" Alia's personal maid asked me.
Senior Vernon, who was sitting next to me, glanced at me, and the Adam's apple moved, but he refused to speak.
I coughed gently, and then continued to Betty: "The warehouse still contains a large number of moon blade axes collected from the Nibru Spiderman. Let Murray's rune workshop find a way to hang a layer of mitral on the axe blade, and strive to make a batch before the magic airship returns. It is necessary to ensure that these weapons are delivered to Gurudin as soon as possible. Also, this batch of canned lunch meat and meat floss bricks will be transported to the warehouse there as soon as possible. All these materials do not need to be sold to the outside world, and they are all stockpiled."
I originally wanted to tell Betty to buy a batch of wheat flour, but seeing Senior Vernon's expression that was about to explode, I still felt like I would go back and hand over the purchase list to Alia.
The next plan is to wait for me to return to the plane of Jero. Next, we will bring the North Wind Legion's construction knights to the swamp sea near the southern edge of the Black Forest. There, we will join forces with the ancient war trees in the plane of Jero to fight a large-scale battle with the Nebru Spiderman.
I patted my forehead and ordered Betty: "Prepare a magic caravan for me. I'm going to go to the Didu Magic Institute later."
"Okay, master." Betty lifted the corner of her skirt with one hand and bowed to me.
This made Senior Vernon look at me deeply again.
I said to Marvin: "Let's see if you can contact the airport and rent two magic airships. Our current capacity is still a bit weak. This will ensure that these supplies are sent up as soon as possible and bring back some magic herbs from the orc tribe."
Marvin held the black tea and sipped it slightly. He looked like he was drinking golden cider. His expression was a little strange. He squinted his eyes and looked at me and said, "Hey, Jijia, why do I feel like the Green Empire has suffered a disaster of the undead, oh, no! I know your personality. Even if a undead army appears in a certain border area of the Green Empire, it may not be so active. Perhaps only the undead appear in the northern territory, you will do this!"
In my heart, I didn't think the North is different from the Pai Plateau, so I said to Marvin: "The Plateau is also the North. Think about it carefully. Once those undead troops occupy the town of Gurudin and walk along the road of death, they will arrive in El City in less than a month. Do you think the methods of dealing with barbarians in our El City will be useful against the undead legion?"
Ma Wen sneered and said to me: "You are a little too advanced! But it's right to think about it carefully. I can understand your feelings. Most of your entourage and followers are from the Pai Plateau."
Before I waited for Alia to check the accounts of the store, I took Alia's magic caravan and left the store with Senior Vernon to rush directly to the Didu Magic Research Institute. Senior Vernon sat in the magic caravan and was still digesting some information he had just learned. He sat on the soft leather sofa opposite me, looking at the gorgeous decoration inside the magic caravan, some exquisite food and wine on the table in the car, and took a few deep breaths to calm down slightly.
Senior Vernon's expression seemed a little complicated and said to me: "That business belongs to Teacher Qige?"
It is well known that Qige almost monopolized the business with the orc tribe on Didu.
"Well, before Qige returns to Ethia, let me take care of it on my behalf." I said.
Senior Vernon crossed his hands and pressed his chin against the back of his hand, and said to me: "So, you have been helping His Highness Chig to manage the business in the business on the Didu side?"
"That's right." I nodded and admitted.
Senior Vernon continued to ask, "Then will these be your future career?"
I scratched my head, thinking in my mind that this business is my career? The answer is no, this is Qi Ge's.
So I said, "Not exactly, you know I am an inscriptionist, and there is also a rune board workshop on Didu."
Actually, I really want to tell Senior Vernon that my rune board workshop on Didu is also very profitable, but I think it’s better to be more tactful, so I didn’t say how my rune board workshop business is.
Unexpectedly, Senior Vernon was wrong and thought that maybe my rune board workshop business was in a downturn, so he didn't continue to talk about it.
Senior Vernon was also worried that it would be embarrassing to continue talking, so he kept saying: "I know that due to the impact of the new rune board, the business of the rune board workshop has been very depressed recently. Even the rune board workshop between Ivan and Diego is almost unable to maintain it. It is normal that your rune board workshop is not doing well. Fortunately, you have a business in the store and you should be able to survive. But I think, in fact, you should try to make some fish skin hoods, which is the most profitable thing."
"..." I was speechless, thinking about whether I should tell Senior Vernon that my rune board workshop business is also very good.
But seeing him immersed in his thoughts, he didn't say anything more.
Senior Vernon looked a little serious, and he said to me: "Gija, I want to try to find something to do, but now it is not easy to do anything. Plane war has messed up the economy of the Green Empire. Magic herbs are hard to buy now. Didu's magic potion store can only be maintained. Now, the hottest thing about Green Empire this summer is life-style magic items. Noah and I have already thought about it. If the magic oven of "Lava Flowing" is successfully trial-made, try to make this oven. Do you want to join us?"
Noah has mentioned this to me a lot, but I have no energy to do this with them, so I kept dragging it on without a clear reply.
"I can't get rid of myself for the time being..." I said to Senior Vernon.
Senior Vernon handed me a clear expression and said in a slightly emotional tone: "It turns out to be the same as Noah said, okay, if you change your mind, you can join us at any time."
"Okay!" I nodded and said.
Senior Vernon had a whim and couldn't wait to go back to the academy to discuss the magic oven with Noah.
At this time, the magic caravan had already moved to Yulin Street. From the Qige Trading Company on the Seventh Block to the Magic Academy of the Tower of Pride, the way would pass through the Royal Magic Academy. So the magic caravan stopped at the door when passing through the Royal Magic Academy.
Before getting off the car, Senior Vernon reached out and patted me on the shoulder, smiled at me and said, "Thank you for taking me out for relaxing. I will try it as you said. Maybe life is really different."
Seeing that he jumped out of the magic caravan with agility and ran into the Royal Magic Academy in three or two steps, his steps became much lighter. I think senior Vernon is definitely right to find something, but...
"...What did I say?" I sat in the carriage and asked myself.
In the magic trading hall on the first floor of the Tower of Arrogance, I bought ten mitril silver ingots in a shop specializing in magic metals. Each mitril silver ingot is about five pounds, and there is no bargaining. Now the price of mitril silver is almost completely transparent. Magic merchants all know that raising their own prices means keeping business out.
When I came to the Didu Magic Research Institute, I did not rush to meet the scholar Yekis, but went directly to the Alchemy Ministry to find the scholar Francis and asked him to prepare some mitril silver solutions. These mitril silver solutions were to be brought into the Xinliu Valley Magic Seal Workshop. I was going to use mitril silver to print the magic patterns on the arrows of the next batch of giant crossbows.
Chapter completed!
