Chapter 240 The Envoy of the Royal Court of Summer
Heijing Town maintains the original pattern, using large amounts of food to maintain sustenance through human merchants, and then selling iron ore at relatively low prices. Since dozens of The giant tree man who remembers joins.
The amount of iron ore mined from black wells has doubled again, and then entered a bottleneck period. Although it is growing, it is very slow.
Let Black Well remain profitable, but not exaggeratedly.
In the final analysis, for the sake of keeping a low profile and silence, some iron ore, although mined, is piled deep in the mine and has not been transported out.
Even the iron-making furnaces and steel-making furnaces built by the hobgoblin craftsmen were dismantled overnight, and their corpses were destroyed.
Vongeldahast’s visit made Gavin suddenly realize something.
Eat as many bowls of rice as you have. You must not eat more and occupy more before you have the ability to match it. This will make you die quickly and miserably.
The reason why Heijing was able to develop was not because of his outstanding vision or his powerful abilities.
But it was a mistake at the beginning, and we took the right path, so that everyone can make money and have their interests divided.
They had just acquiesced to the development and growth of Heijing.
Including the Red Crow, who seemed to be competing with them, also got a share of the black well.
The high road became active, and naturally they had more employment tasks. Some part-time businessmen even started running the Heijing line. They made a lot of money in just a few trips. This will attract more Red Crow mercenaries to join this ranks.
There are currently two caravans with the largest trading volume with Heijing Iron Mine. One is Qianshou, an old relationship from the beginning, and the other is Red Crow.
If Gavin starts the iron ore smelting, organizes his own caravan, and monopolizes all the benefits, then he will be the enemy of the whole world in the rocky land and will be unable to move even an inch.
Until there is no matching ability, it is better to suppress this thought for the time being.
This does not mean that Gavin has stopped exploring iron and steelmaking. Instead, he has moved the relevant experiments to Yingya Town, trying them on a small scale, accumulating experience as much as possible, and when the time is right, he will carry out large-scale experiments. Late.
With the arrival of the Purple Dragon Patrol, this pattern of interest division has been further solidified.
These elite patrol teams have shown why they are famous all over the world.
Not only are they all professionals, they are also very eager to fight. After settling in, they do not wait for things to happen, but take the initiative to plow the mountains on both sides of the high road repeatedly.
Regardless of whether it is a monster's nest or a bandit's nest, all will be destroyed regardless of the reason.
After the Dragon Oak Territory's struggle in the past half year, these forces themselves are not much left, and now they have completely disappeared.
Near the Heijing Iron Mine Trading Plaza, there are two purple dragon patrol teams (one hundred people) stationed all year round, which serve as a kind of surveillance and protection of Heijing Town.
Except for more than a hundred kobold militiamen and defensive equipment, Gavin did not retain much defensive force here.
No one dares to touch Black Well Town now, because touching this place is equivalent to touching the cake of the Kingdom of Cormyr and destroying him in a minute.
Although the confidentiality of Eagle Cliff Town is not that high, it does not have direct contact with the outside world. Whether the kobolds who seek refuge here directly or who seek refuge in Black Well Town and are transferred here are just like following the bottomless pit and will never be seen again. their figures.
The number of kobolds in both Eagle Cliff Town and Heijing Town has always remained at around five thousand.
This volume is enough to resist most prying eyes, but it is not too eye-catching, and at the same time it can create maximum value.
The extra kobolds naturally entered the dragon oak mother tree through the dragon oak portal.
The Dragon Oak Mother Tree is too large. There are already as many as 20,000 kobolds moved here. Less than one-third of the entire inner dark area has been developed.
It shouldn't be a problem to place one hundred thousand kobolds here.
This goal cannot be achieved in a short time.
The kobold tribe in Dragon Oak Territory has been almost wiped out by them.
They are silent again in the material plane. Without causing trouble, not many kobolds have come to join them.
The current growth of the kobold population mainly relies on self-reproduction.
With sufficient material supplies and safety guaranteed.
The kobolds have demonstrated their greatest ability to still thrive in this dangerous world - their ability to survive.
The female kobold's pregnancy period is only three months, and she lays at least three eggs at a time, and as many as five or six.
After laying the eggs, you can become pregnant within ten days.
If there are no restrictions, a female kobold can give birth to at least ten kobolds a year.
The incubation area in the Dragon Oak Dragon's Nest has been expanded again and again. It has been expanded from two to five, and is still being expanded. The final goal should be ten.
Each incubation area can accommodate two thousand kobold eggs for hatching at the same time.
In less than half a year, the number of kobolds in the mother dragon oak tree will far exceed the number of adult kobolds.
For this reason, Gavin had to implement family planning and eugenics policies for the kobolds.
The reproductive speed of kobolds should follow their own development pace, rather than affecting their own development pace and becoming their own burden.
This year, the number of kobolds in the dragon oak mother tree, including one pack, can be kept at about 50,000. Any more will easily have counterproductive effects.
In Virginia, fruit tree transplantation and land reclamation are in full swing.
They have proved with practical actions that as long as the felines are willing, they are the best farmers in the world, bar none.
Just as Gavin guessed, those fruit trees were driven all the way here by the druids and tree people using their ability to activate the trees.
These fruit trees have been artificially screened, and the high-quality ones are sent to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree one after another to take root and become part of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree biosphere.
Inferior ones can only take root around the mother dragon oak tree.
It is much easier for elves to open up wasteland than for ordinary people. The second-level Stone Softening Technique can turn obstructive stones in the ground into clay and gravel into mud.
The withering of the three-ringed plants will inhibit the growth of those weeds and shrubs, and then wither quickly.
The growth of three-ringed plants will cause those fruits, vegetables, and grains to grow rapidly, and even increase the harvest.
The three-ring activated plants will make those trees active and move away from their current positions, which will free up farmland without harming these trees.
The Sixth Ring Seismic Technique can turn hills into flat ground, or directly create ditches hundreds of meters long.
Seven rings can control the weather to create artificial rainfall or disperse excess rainfall, making the entire environment more suitable for the growth of crops.
In just two ten days, the ten kilometers of land around the dragon oak mother tree were all leveled and the seeds were sown, just waiting for time to germinate.
In addition, the main body of Virginia's palace and the castle of the eladrin, Spring Bud Castle, was also moved to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.
Chun Nha Fort itself was not built, but grew.
Most of them can also be driven to the mother dragon oak tree by activating trees.
Not only the Lord of Virginia has made up his mind, but the entire Spring Bud Forest has also made up his mind that they will make the dragon oak mother tree their home in the future, and the other parts of the Spring Bud Forest will belong to the dragon. Adjunct to the mother oak tree.
The benefits of doing this are obvious.
Although the territory is smaller, the defense force is more concentrated.
For now, they can only stick to it and wait for the day when the Dragon Oak Mother Tree is really activated.
Wherever the mother dragon oak tree passes, there is a forest of spring buds.
Chunya Fort, which was moved to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, stands at the highest point of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree and blends into the canopy of the tree.
In many places, the tree crowns have been reshaped.
Especially the main hall of Lord Virginia's palace, which is a huge space expanded directly from the main pole of the dragon oak mother tree using wood plasticity.
Fortunately, Gavin now has energy dragon wings and can fly, making it easier to observe.
If you go to Chunya Castle through the complex trunks, hanging ladders and turntables of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, you have to go around and get dizzy.
Are there other eladrin visiting?
Gavin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The door to Virginia's main hall was closed, and a small group of fully armed eladrin warriors stood outside the door.
He recognized at a glance that they were not the Yaling warriors from Chunya Forest.
It’s not that Gavin already knows all the eladrin warriors in Chunya Castle, but the style of their eladrin armor is completely different from that of Chunya Forest.
The Yaling armor of Chunya Forest is mainly green, inlaid with silver and white, tending to be simple and elegant.
The group of Yaling warriors standing outside the main hall are mainly bright red and inlaid with silver. They are as colorful as blooming flowers. The twelve Yaling warriors are all the same height, standing The posture is standard, like a javelin, poking there.
The expression was as if he was guarding his own palace, but instead the elegans warriors from Chunya Forest became guests.
An acquaintance was standing not far away with a dissatisfied look on his face.
Gavin immediately found a remote place and dropped down, waving to the acquaintance.
Seeing Gavin's appearance clearly, the other party's eyes lit up, and a smile couldn't help appearing on his face. He ran over in a hurry and said: "Mr. Gavin, you are back. Just in time, we have an annoying guest here, please go and help the lord get rid of him.”
This acquaintance is none other than Maggie, the personal maid of Lord Virginia.
This eladrin maid usually dislikes Gavin, but today she smiled at Gavin uncharacteristically, which shows that she dislikes the guests that Lord Virginia is currently receiving.
"First, let's talk about what exactly is going on? Who is the other party? Such a majestic person." Gavin was not in a hurry to act. The other party was also an eladrin, so he must be a friend or not an enemy. He had to understand the situation first.
"Except for the people from the Summer Palace, who would treat other people's homes as their own." Ma Qi wrinkled her nose and said, "The eldest prince of the Summer Palace is here. When he comes, he either accuses or criticizes. He is gesticulating, and now he is even more wishful thinking. He wants to marry us and marry the lord. Humph, a fool can't see it. He is not only coveting the lord's beauty, but also wants to marry us. Take the Dragon Oak Mother Tree as our own.
When we were in trouble, they didn't send anyone, let alone a marriage request.
Now we activate the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. Another messenger, another marriage.
Where in the world can such a good thing happen? ”
The Lord of Virginia was not the only one who was dissatisfied with the Royal Court of Summer.
It is a unified view of intelligent life in the entire Chunya Forest.
The long life gives them long-lasting memories.
For humans, a century is already a generation, and most people have turned into dust.
But to the fey, it seems like yesterday.
They still clearly remember how the Royal Court of Xia sacrificed the other half of Chunya Forest for the so-called righteousness and the so-called safety of the Fairy Wilderness. How they ignored the wails of intelligent life in the entire Spring Bud Forest and used them as tools to seal the monsters. environment.
From that day on, the remaining Spring Bud Forest has parted ways with the Royal Court of Summer. They will no longer pay tribute to it, nor will they accept their protection. They will protect themselves.
“Let’s go, I want to see who wants to take advantage of my woman.” Upon hearing this, Gavin immediately walked towards the main hall, although he knew that the Virginia lord agreed to such a request. The possibility is zero, but we can't take it lightly. After all, he is from the Royal Court of Xia.
Let's put it this way, even the other half of Chunya Forest was not lost in the hands of the useless giant.
Chunya Forest is only one of the twelve major territories of the Royal Court of Summer. Its area can barely rank among the top five. Now it is the second to last. The first to last is an enclave, which is occupied by Winter. Wrapped in the King's Court, it was only a matter of time before it was merged into the Winter King's Court.
"Stop, no one else is allowed in." Gavin and the others were still five steps away from the main hall. The Xia Ting soldiers guarding the door crossed their halberds and scolded them in the yin-yang Elvish language.
