Emperor of Arcane

April 22nd.

Bay collar.

Ruby mining area stronghold.

Several large excavator golems are carrying out further excavation and renovation of the mine entrance.

The proud macarons are constantly recording their work data and efficiency.

343, standing next to him, made further calculations on the various data and transformation models he had collected before.

The two of them have reached a cooperation agreement to develop a more efficient engineering golem according to Matthew's requirements.

They have successfully received two awards and are moving towards their third award goal.

Lynch handed over the list in his hand, with some regret in his eyes, and whispered tentatively:

"The price of thorium per gram is 1,200 gold coins, and the purchase qualification is 150 gold coins."

"Currently, we have harvested a total of 2,300 grams, with 800 grams of acquisition qualifications, and a total cost of 2.88 million gold coins. Do we still need to continue to acquire?"

3 kilograms of Thorium can provide the production requirements for 11 sets of magic armor.

It's expensive, but Thorium is really indispensable now.

"In another two years, when changes occur in the New World, we will be able to completely get rid of the shackles of this aspect..."

Matthew took the list and said with a normal expression: "Continue to purchase at this price. There is no purchase limit."

Nodding respectfully, Lin Qi suppressed the doubts in his heart and forced himself not to think about anything more.

For example, why are most of the goods and materials produced in the Gulf Territory not intended for sale, but rather stored?

Another example is why the Gulf Territory is still absorbing a steady stream of people, and even does not hesitate to use Lynch's trade network.

If it is used for trade, the Gulf Territory should be able to easily earn more. An extra million gold coins every month is not a problem.

However, Lynch did not have any objections and complied without hesitation.

The reason is simple. A large number of orders were sent out from his trading network, attracting the attention and participation of many people.

In just the past three months, the scale of the trade network has expanded by 1/5, and the family's income has increased by 30%.

This is the reward given to him by the lord!

Very rich!

Around them, a large number of Gulf Territory soldiers were silently waiting for the order to step into the teleportation array.

Click!

Pieces of gravel were dug out one after another, and occasionally bright red and translucent gems could be seen.

The gray dwarves, who were very agile with their hands, picked out all the rubies one by one.

The remaining stones were put into the crusher and will become materials for building the stronghold's defense line.

The entrance of the hole sloping downward was dug into a square channel 6 meters high and 10 meters wide.

Under the watchful eyes of countless adventurers, the material known as magic cement poured the originally bumpy passages into neat tunnels.

On both sides of the tunnel, two railroad tracks, one on the left and one on the right, extend downward.

"Hey, is this for mining?"

"How could such a big battle be just for mining?"

"We are preparing to send troops down!"

"We can just send troops down there, why do we need to rebuild it again?"

"Don't you understand this? This is the consistent style of the Gulf Territory. Wherever you go, you will cultivate."

"The advantage of doing this is that it makes the transportation of materials and personnel more convenient. Do you see those tracks?"

"The golem container in the Gulf Territory can transport more than 10 tons of supplies at a time."

"So, the Gulf Territory is also planning to build a camp in the underground world?"

"Yes, whether it is to better protect the ruby ​​veins, to charge more and more six-armed golems, or to go deep into the underground world and build an advance camp, it is normal."

"I know, it's just like the two camps in the Swamp Ruins."

"..."

The adventurers' discussion basically explained the Gulf Territory's arrangements clearly.

After hearing this, Aini looked thoughtfully at Matthew next to her, who was looking through the drawings.

To Aini's surprise, Matthew did not wait for the building here to be completed, but waved to her in a subtle way.

There was a slight movement in her heart. After completing another transaction, Aini did not return immediately. Naturally, she had more purposes.

She looked at Paris calmly, and both saw the anticipation in the other's eyes.

Followed without hesitation!

In the conference room, Aini did not see the housekeeper Ralph who she often dealt with. Instead, she saw Jifan who greeted her with a smile.

However, Jifan is different at this time. His height has reached 9 meters, at least 15 centimeters higher than before, and he will grow taller in the future.

Ji Fan's professional level has been upgraded to level 6.

But if it were an ordinary mid-level rogue, it wouldn't put so much pressure on her at all.

The burly metal and dark armor exuded a mysterious aura.

"Is this impossible?"

"How could his strength improve so much after not seeing him for just a month?"

The mysteries of the Gulf Territory did not become less and less due to her contact. Instead, they were like icebergs floating on the sea surface, with an unpredictable huge volume hidden underneath.

Just when Aini was thinking hard, Matthew had seen her reaction and deliberately continued:

"You must also know that we have discovered an interface to the underground world under this ruby ​​vein."

"Thanks to the adventurers' exploration, we discovered a lot of resource points, such as several metal veins..."

Metal veins!

This is really good stuff!

Moreover, veins of precious metals are usually accompanied by very rare and expensive gemstones.

Paris's heart moved, and he immediately looked at Matthew with envy.

The Gulf Territory has such strong processing and manufacturing capabilities. If it can supplement its raw materials, it will truly develop.

"Wait, this is a good thing too!"

"The better the Gulf Territory develops, the more things and supplies we can buy from here."

"Furthermore, the Gulf Territory is also in great need of the various magic scrolls, props, plants, potions and other resources we produce."

"We can complement each other and greatly reduce the pressure on obtaining combat supplies..."

Paris, who responded quickly, immediately raised his eyebrows excitedly and congratulated in a clear voice:

"This is a good thing. If the Gulf Territory can develop the resources of the underground world, it can make up for the last shortcoming."

Seeing how "high" Paris is!

Matthew also explained his intentions:

"To obtain those resources, we must solve a gnoll kingdom-Kalea as soon as possible!"

"The number of soldiers in the Gulf Territory is small, and they also have to guard against trolls and orcs, so they cannot spare so many troops to deal with them."

"So let's work together!"
