Dark Fairy Tale: Tyrant, Conquer Cinderella at the Beginning

Richard rode on his warhorse, his body swaying with the horse, heading deep into the forest.

Beside him was the unicorn, and behind him were several attendants.

At this moment, the unicorn suddenly glanced at the warhorse, and then sent a wave of vibrations to Richard:

"Master, when can I become your mount?"

Richard looked at it in surprise. This was the first time it had made such a request.

"Aren't you used to freedom? You run around in my territory every day, I'm afraid you've been to more places than I have!"

The unicorn blinked his eyes:

"That's because my master never rides me, and I'm just sitting around doing nothing.……"

Richard laughed and patted its mane:

"When the horse harness that matches you is ready, you won’t be able to run around and will have to follow me every day!"

The unicorn nodded:

"Yes! I like being with my master the most. It is much more fun than running around! When will the master's harness be made?"

Richard said with a dark face:

"It's your harness, not mine."

The unicorn suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.���Shake your head embarrassedly:

"Hey, it's my harness!"

Richard thought for a moment.

"The materials are ready. Since you are in a hurry, I will make it in the next two days!"

The unicorn nodded excitedly, kicked off its hooves and ran like a silver light, running around in the nearby forest.

Richard shook his head. Only he dared to ride this mount. If it were someone else, wouldn't he get carsick and vomit to death? Oh no, it's the horse and the beast!

Speaking of which, after a few months, although the unicorn is still a juvenile, its body size is as big as a normal horse. It's even a little taller.

There has been no sign of growth in the past half month, so I'm afraid it will be this big for the time being.

According to his understanding of various fairy tales, this unicorn should really be this big, but this unicorn does not correspond to any ability in the fairy tale world, so it's hard to say what will happen in the future.

At least in terms of horsepower, this kid is absolutely better than all the horses in the world today.

It's really time for him to serve.

On the other side, the unicorn ran for a while, saw the butterfly on the flower, and rushed over with a grunt.

I don't know I wonder if it’s because of the unicorn’s natural affinity that the butterfly isn’t afraid of it and is dancing on its face.

The beast and the butterfly played for a while, and then the butterfly suddenly flew in another direction, and the unicorn quickly followed.

Soon, it followed the butterfly to a pond, and saw a small tree full of flowers growing by the pond, with a shiny red fruit on it.

The butterfly didn’t land on the flower, but on the fruit, as if it was pointing the way for the unicorn.

The unicorn stepped forward and sniffed, its eyes rolled around, and it immediately kicked its hooves and turned into a silver light and rushed back.

On the other side, Richard had long been accustomed to the unicorn’s sudden disappearance, and with the contractual relationship between him and the unicorn, he could always know the direction and distance of the unicorn, so he didn’t care.

At this time, seeing the unicorn rushing towards him, even directly blocking in front of his warhorse, he was suddenly a little confused.

"Red fruit? Why don't you eat it?"Richard laughed.

The unicorn shook its head and bit the corner of Richard's clothes with its mouth. At the same time, the unicorn sent out spiritual fluctuations:

"Good fruit, master, eat it!"

Richard smiled immediately:

"You are really filial! Okay, let's go and have a look!"

After hearing Richard's agreement, the unicorn opened its mouth and led the way for its master.

Soon, they came to the edge of the pond. Richard looked at the fruit in front of him and casually typed an appraisal on it.

【Snake saliva fruit: It grows in places where poisonous snakes gather and there are countless poisonous substances around. Its effect can enhance the skin's defense ability, including physical defense and toxic defense.】

【Depending on the host's condition, it can produce a slight increase in combat power after taking it. 】

A place where poisonous snakes gather? There are countless poisonous creatures?

He shook his head and looked around. Where are the poisonous creatures? It was not until he turned on the system search function that he saw a group of poisonous creatures lined up in a line hundreds of meters away, looking at this side, but they didn't seem to dare to come over, and they seemed to be forced to be driven over.

Richard looked at the innocent and naive look of the unicorn, and sighed immediately.

This kid, it seems that the purifying power in its body scared these poisonous creatures away!

Yes, if those poisonous creatures don't run away, I'm afraid that the poison in their bodies will be dispelled, and the toxicity that can defend themselves against the enemy will be gone, and they can only become food for other beasts around.

Richard smiled and patted the unicorn on the back:

"Good boy, I'll remember your merit and grill you some meat when I get back! I'll grill it for you myself."

The unicorn jumped excitedly and nodded desperately.

Then, Richard put the snake saliva fruit into the system warehouse and marked the place at the same time.

There are still so many flowers on this fruit tree, and it is obvious that it will bear fruit in the future.

In some places, only the fruit stems are left. I'm afraid that the fruits that were produced in the past were divided by the poisonous creatures around.

Good guy, poisonous snakes also need to prevent other kinds of poisons, right? And it can also improve physical defense, which is indeed a good thing for these poisonous creatures.

Okay, let these little guys help you watch the fruit trees in the future, but the fruits in the future will be reserved by Richard!

At this time, the poisonous creatures didn't know that they had passively become Richard's guard dogs

……

After this interruption, it took them another half an hour to reach the iron ore mining site. Of course, this was also the case when Richard did not deliberately accelerate.

Richard jumped off the horse and began to check the surroundings.

The ground was covered with red soil.

Richard remembered a passage in"Guan Zi Di Shu Pian":"Mountains with ochre on the top have iron underneath; mountains with lead on the top have silver underneath; mountains with cinnabar on the top have gold underneath; mountains with cinnabar on the top have copper and gold underneath.……"

The so-called ochre is red.���It looked like red soil, but it was very hard. Richard kicked the ground twice and immediately saw a black reflective substance exposed. It was very smooth.

""System! Test it!"

Richard ordered directly.

Damn it, he was not going to be a fool this time. Like last time, he took a shovel and dug the salt mine.

Moreover, the surface test did not consume lord points. He would have to spend some money to test the underground iron ore later.

But this was also necessary.

After all, he had been thinking about iron ore for a long time.

When he bought it from the caravan before, he also waited a lot.

With iron ore, he had the capital to equip the army. Armor, warships, technology, industry, people's livelihood, it can be said that it was a resource needed in all aspects.

【Hematite: formed by the oxidation of high-quality iron ore exposed on the surface, with a grade of 77. 】

Wow, Richard exclaimed!

Hematite is indeed hematite. Generally speaking, the iron content of hematite exceeds that of ordinary iron ore. It is normal to reach 70, but it is obviously a bit outrageous to reach 77.

He really picked up a treasure this time.

Maybe this is the luck of the child of destiny?

Richard was a little excited.

And it looks like the range is not small.

Not to mention the iron ore below, the hematite above alone is enough to double his assets.

You know, his salt mine is so big that you can't see the edge at a glance. Now hematite can double his assets. You can imagine its value!

More importantly, the ochre associated with this hematite can also be used as pigments and traditional Chinese medicine.

Whether it is printing and dyeing fabrics, or used as ink or red ink, this can be used. As for traditional Chinese medicine, it has many effects. It can reduce liver fire, calm phlegm, stop bleeding, and smooth qi...

It can even be refined and used as poison.

Moreover, even if the population of the territory increases a hundredfold, this amount will still be enough to last for a hundred years.

"System, identify the quality of the iron ore below!"

【Appraisal requires 2 lord points. Do you want to consume it?】

"Yes!" Richard said without hesitation

【Iron ore 200 meters underground: iron grade 68~70, silicon content 1~2%, aluminum content 1%, phosphorus content 0.031~0.042, burn loss 1.2%, moisture 8~9%, etc. 】

Wow, Richard exclaimed wow!

Is this the advantage of the other world?

If it is in this world, according to the system data, in his original world, apart from hematite, normal iron ore generally has an iron content of 65, which is the top quality, and the highest will not exceed 67. This thing directly gave him 68~70? The iron content of the iron ore is close to the bottom line of hematite, right?

It's done!

Although this place is a little deep in the forest, even if the transportation and maintenance costs are high, it must be done!

But he still wants to know how big this piece of iron ore is. He has no experience in this area. Being able to detect salt mines is already the limit of his knowledge as a keyboard warrior. He is full of things to rely on his own ability to speculate on iron ore.

"System, calculate the total amount of iron ore!"

Richard ordered directly

【Calculation requires 381 Lord Points, do you want to consume them? 】 (To read the novels of rage, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Walter?

System, are you serious?

381 points?

Richard looked at his existing points, okay, 902 points, it is indeed a lot, but it is not so bad to waste it!

Who cares!

Anyway, Richard probably knows this nature.

Two hundred meters underground is 2 points of identification, right?

It's just the quantity calculation, not the price of the identification ingredients. It's 381. Richard knows that a lot is enough.

Damn!

On the way back, he began to calculate the cost of mining.

The distance from here to the salt mine in the territory is 25 kilometers, and the distance to the territory is 45 kilometers.

It's a bit far!

Logging, road construction, mining, building a smelter...

Let's not talk about anything else. 25 kilometers, if a five-meter-wide road is required, at least more than 16,000 trees must be cut down for this distance.

That can't be calculated. The road doesn't have to be straight. It can also bend and avoid some trees. Even so, thousands of trees must be cut down.

There are more than 300 axes in the warehouse now. Should a road be cut out in three days?

But don't forget that there are still various dangers in the forest, so the militia has to clean it up.

Richard's way here was smooth, mainly because Richard himself did not hide his aura, and with the existence of the unicorn, basically, it was not a strong enough monster, so it ran when it should run and hid when it should hide.

The militia will be busy by then.

The 25-kilometer road, if the road to the salt mine is repaired and Cinderella helps to transform the tree roots and stumps that block the road, it will take another three days.[]

After the road is built and mining begins, a smelter must be built.

As for the smelter, if it is built next to the iron ore, the cost of militia guards will increase. If it is built near the salt mine, the transportation cost will increase.

Thinking of the limited number of ox carts in the territory, I thought it was better to forget it and add some tasks to the militia camp.

Development is not easy, Richard sighed.

After all the fuss, there is still not enough manpower!

The salt mine has increased the mining volume, and it is definitely not possible to move too many people, but the iron mine needs more manpower.

There are also ox carts for transportation. The carts can be made by craftsmen, but it is useless if there are not enough cows.

It seems that the next time the caravan comes, I have to reserve some cows, no, or mules! This thing is more durable, it is better to pull iron ore than cows, and it can also be used for plowing.

It’s just that it can’t reproduce, it’s better to buy some donkeys and horses, and then you can breed and give birth to mules yourself.

After a large amount of mining on the salt mine, the purchasing power will be stronger, and more slaves can be reserved, and the population will slowly increase.

After everything was sorted out, Richard finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, several people and the unicorn came out of the forest together.

Just as they were about to step onto the stone road, Ali quickly caught up with them.

"Lord, I found something good, come and have a look!"

Richard smiled as he sat on his horse:

"What good stuff?"

Ali said excitedly:

"It's a huge salt crystal ball! There's light inside!"

"Interesting." Richard raised his eyebrows slightly,"Okay, take me to see it!"

Cars were coming and going in the mining area, so Richard simply got off (Zhao Zhao's) horse and walked deeper into the mining area with Ali.

As soon as they reached the mining shed, they saw a group of people surrounding a salt crystal ball with a diameter of one meter. When they saw Richard coming, they immediately became excited:

"Lord, this crystal ball glows, and we are preparing to load it onto a car and send it to the castle to present it to you!"

Richard looked at them and found that most of them were militiamen on duty here to ensure safety, so he said nothing.

Only two slave-like people were helping to carry the ball.

Richard smiled and said,

"Who discovered this?"

The two men immediately stepped forward:

""Master, it was Tom and I who found it."

Richard couldn't help but take a look at the one called Tom. Well, it didn't look like a cat.

He didn't say anything, just nodded, and waved them aside.

He wanted to see what this thing was.

"System, identify it!"

【Salt crystal ball: After breaking the outer part, you can get a salt crystal gem. Wearing it can provide physical strength!

Richard's eyes lit up. What a good thing!

Then, he suddenly punched, and the power burst out. The whole salt crystal ball broke instantly, which scared everyone.

The two slaves were so scared that they knelt on the ground and trembled.

They thought they were doomed. The master didn't like this thing, so they were so angry that they smashed it with a punch!

"Ali, remember their names, give them credit later, and reward them with 10 housing points!"

"Yes, Lord!"Ali nodded and looked at the two people on the ground with amusement.

The two were stunned for a moment, feeling as if they had ascended from hell to heaven in an instant, and kowtowed repeatedly on the ground.

"Thank you for the reward! Thank you for the reward!"

""Okay! Go to work!" Richard waved his hand and picked up the glowing gem on the ground and looked at it.

The two men smiled and stood up, happily going down to the mine.
