Chapter 548 549. Two mine owners
What Boss Roy said in the small square in front of the city hall aroused great repercussions in the plateau city.
Just half a day later, the purchasing point of the Mine Guard Group made some adjustments to the purchase price of magic herbs. The purchase price of junior magic herbs increased by 30%, and the purchase price of intermediate and high-level magic herbs dropped by 30% accordingly. This means that the purchase price of the mine guards increased by 30%. The field guard group focuses on purchasing low-level magic herbs, and mid-level and high-level magic herbs will flow into the free market.
Moreover, the official advice given by the City of Plateau to the mixed elf collectors is that they hope that they can put the mid- to high-level magic herbs in their hands into the free market.
All of a sudden, the mixed-blood elven collectors in Plateau City responded to Boss Roy's move.
Elf merchants who had been unable to buy magic herbs in the past finally saw a wave of business opportunities, and the free market became more lively.
The first batch of iron chains was finally delivered to the forge in the Kasai Mountains. These iron chains, which are as thick as wrists, are used to reinforce the port of Sun Island and the surrounding seawalls.
The iron chains can be woven into a huge iron net, and all the stones piled up on the sea wall can be wrapped in the iron net, which will make the sea wall more stable.
Roy also planned to use these iron chains to weave into a huge iron cage during the construction of the port, put the stones into the iron cage, and then pile them on the port pier.
The first batch of iron chains shipped from the forging workshop didn't look like a lot, but in fact, the iron chains moved into the magic airship only filled half of the warehouse. The captain responsible for driving the magic airship hurriedly found Roy and asked him. Roy said that the magic airship is currently fully loaded.
The weight of these iron chains exceeded Roy's estimate, so they could only be divided into two magic airships and transported to Sun Island Bay.
This time the magic airship sails to Sun Island Bay, and Roy will also go with the ship.
In addition, Siren Zezena, Miss Tiffany, and Moira will also take a boat to Sun Island Bay.
Sabrina was unable to go to Sun Island Bay with her because she wanted to stay and help Mu Lin train the new half-blood elf army.
When a magic airship ascends into the wind layer, it will consume a large amount of magic crystals.
After ascending to the wind layer at full load, one hundred and twenty magic crystals will be burned in just half a day.
When the magic airship enters the wind flow layer, it needs to remain suspended in the wind flow layer. In this state, the twelve floating devices are in low energy consumption operation, and almost sixty magic crystals are used up a day and night.
That is to say, a magic airship flying from Plateau City to Sun Island Bay requires two hundred magic crystals for a one-way trip. It seems that this shipping fee is simply astronomical.
But if you change the calculation method, you will have a completely different answer:
A magic airship can carry almost five hundred mixed-blood elf warriors. If this high shipping cost is allocated to each mixed-blood elf warrior, Yes, the shipping fee is actually not expensive.
Of course, if you have the time and conditions to take a land transport team, the freight you need to bear is even less than one-tenth of the magic airship.
At present, the treasury of the mine guard group can fully afford the high freight. Roy also hopes that the magic airship can be accepted by the elves in the Partington plane, so he does not care much about magic crystals in the early stage. The cost of stone.
…
The magic airship left the plateau city and gradually rose into the clouds. Miss Tiffany and Moira stood side by side on the ship's roof.
"Before you leave, why don't you go and see the little half-blood elf girl?" Miss Tiffany asked curiously.
Moira shook her head, a gust of wind blew her broken hair up, she pursed her lips and said, "I don't want to go."
Miss Tiffany blinked and stared at Moira: "You have helped her so much, don't you want to see how she will live in the future?"
Moira had a faint smile on her face and shook her head.
Siren Zezena was lying in the bathtub in the stern cabin, pouring seawater on her body with two hands. The other two arms were resting on the edge of the bathtub. The last two hands were holding a book in one hand and a book in the other. Holding a cup of fruit tea in hand, it looks very comfortable.
There were only two round glass windows in her room. Through the windows, she could see white clouds as flat as wool blankets. The Griffin Barrier Mountains in the distance penetrated the clouds and reached into the sky, like a huge natural barrier.
It turns out that the Partington plane has such a vast and colorful world besides the sea...
She suddenly felt that the free life of lying on the seabed and basking in the sun every day didn't seem so fragrant anymore. As long as desire was born in her heart, it would not be easily extinguished.
A group of people took a magic airship and arrived at the port of Sun Island Bay. At this time, nearly a thousand mixed elves gathered at the port. They were transporting huge rocks from the stalagmite forest and piling them on the beach, preparing to build a seaport here.
The Siren Jezena saw the magic airship coming to the sea in Sun Island Bay. She couldn't wait for the magic airship to land on the sea. She couldn't wait to walk out of the cabin, opened the door next door, and lay in the bathtub facing her. Miss Tiffany said: "Tiffany, we are even."
"Well, take care along the way!"
Miss Tiffany said casually and waved her hand with her back turned.
Then, Hezena twisted her shoulders and swam to the deck and came to the side of the ship. Under the stunned gaze of a group of mixed-blood elf crew members, Hezena jumped from a height of several hundred meters and waited for a long time. , only a faint 'plop' sound came from the sea.
…
Roy came to Sun Island Bay this time for the construction project of the port terminal.
The mixed elves near Sun Island Bay, under the leadership of Captain Tiprado, have built the prototype of the port during this time.
And before that, a simple dock was built here using logs. Now it is just rebuilt on the original site, so the progress is very fast.
After all, the mixed-blood elves in Sun Island Bay can tame griffins, and it is more convenient for them to use griffins to transport these giant rocks.
More than half of the mixed-race elves in Sun Island Bay now live in the jungle behind the port terminal. A brand-new elf village has taken shape in the jungle.
Captain Tiprado stood with Roy on the beach in front of the port, pointing to the flying fish boat on the beach not far away, and said to Roy excitedly:
"Some people have recently tried fishing in Sun Island Bay, and the harvest every day is still very good."
"Prepare a batch of fresh sea fish tomorrow morning, and I will transport these fresh sea fish to the plateau city!" Roy said with a smile.
"Captain, do you really plan to use a magic airship to transport sea fish?"
…
Three weeks later, Roy was hurriedly called back to the plateau city by a letter from Mu Lin.
The Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters of Padstow City sent two Silver Moon Elf mine owners to the plateau city. Following these two mine owners were two thousand mixed-blood elf warriors. However, this army All the officers above the rank of squad leader are Silver Moon elves.
Captain Brad and Captain Craven were standing in the hall of the city hall, and Roy still had some impression of them.
They were originally the leaders of the Silver Moon Elf Infantry Guard Regiment. When the Silver Pegasus Legion invaded the Pagisto Plateau, their infantry guard regiment had been stationed in the mine.
But now their infantry guard regiment was dispersed by gray dwarf bandits during the naval battle on the Queen Egwene Islands.
Currently, the Silver Pegasus Legion has no plans to reorganize the Silver Moon Elf Infantry Guard Group.
They are no longer the captains of the infantry guard regiment, so they can only be sent to the Partington plane by the military headquarters and ask General Kampfred to arrange a more leisurely position for them.
General Kampfred hopes that they can serve as the owners of the mines on the Pagistow Plateau, so that they can save some capital for themselves, and maybe they can reorganize the infantry guard regiment in the future.
General Kempfred saw the huge profits from the Pagisto Plateau mines and did not want Roy to control the Pagisto Plateau mines alone, so he sent two mine owners in the name of the Silver Pegasus Military Department. come over.
According to General Kempfred's idea, Roy wanted to give up two mines that were in normal operation, but Roy did not want to give up the mines that he had worked so hard to create.
Roy said to the two Silver Moon Elf captains: "When I created this mine guard army, the legion did not provide military expenses. I relied on the revenue from the Pagisto Plateau Mine to establish this mine. Field Guard Corps."
"Earl Swinburne promised me that half of the revenue from these mines will go to the mine guards to maintain the army's daily expenses, post-war pensions, replacement of armaments, etc., and the other half will be paid to the Silver Pegasus Legion."
"If you want to take over these mines, of course there is nothing wrong with it."
"However, I don't care how you run the mine that you took over. Half of the mine's monthly revenue must go to the mine guard group. In addition, the amount of revenue paid cannot be less than last month. The rest, you want How much should be detained... Let’s talk to Chief Kempfred.”
