Legendary Hero

After Bion left for less than half a day, Horn came over again, and he came to ask about the transformation of the alchemy room.

"I heard what you said from the master, and I think it makes sense." Horn said, his knowledge is much higher than that of the half-nerd Biang, and he continued: "Actually, there are many small workshops on the island that also have this idea. But everyone is not very clear and confused, but when you say that, I feel suddenly enlightened. I think it needs to be promoted."

Luo Lin shook his head: "I'm not in a hurry to make it public, but the smithy for making equipment can be improved in the same way. Master Biang, you also have to help keep it secret."

In this world, in this era, this method is the weapon of the country, how can it be easily shown to others? At least we have to wait until they have mastered their own skills, scaled up all kinds of things, and established an absolute advantage.

At that time, even if others have learned it, it will be nothing, because Fix Island is already far ahead. The things they produce will be cheaper and of better quality, and they have already occupied the commanding heights.

Originally, Luo Lin didn't want to talk about these things, but now the undead is too powerful, and the productivity level of this world is too weak. If there is no big move, even if the undead is defeated, there is no way to continue to fight. The Demon Legion.

Horn has a great talent, he knows a little bit, pondered for a while, and smiled: "In this way, within a few years, our forging methods may catch up with the dwarves."

"Dwarves?" Luo Lin shook his head: "The group of dwarves who like to dig caves are all lunatics. They have many unique forging techniques. According to the method I said, it can only increase the manufacturing speed, but it cannot improve the forging level. Divine Weapon Sharp weapons still have to be made by dwarves."

Horn thought about it carefully, and nodded to agree with Luo Lin's words: "That's right. It seems that various secret recipes are still valuable, maybe even more valuable. Maybe we should organize a group of people to search for various craft secret recipes."

"You can figure it out." Rowling had to admire Horn's brains. This is probably the earliest formal commercial spy in the world.

The two began to discuss the details again, and finally decided that in the key military workshop, a new method was used to forge weapons, battle armor, saddles, and even clothes, military bedding, and try to use this new thinking to build iron armor on a large scale Boat.

Of course, a lot of gold coins must be invested in this.

At the end of the discussion, Rowling and Horn smiled wryly at each other, and Horn spread his hands: "It seems that I have to borrow money from Iona's Dragon Vault again, which will cost at least millions of gold coins and interest I know when and what month I can pay it off."

Luo Lin chuckled: "The gold coins are still unclear, and you can use other things to pay them back. And the business methods are ever-changing. For example, when Ficks Island becomes the treasury of the mainland, we will mint gold coins. It will take decades. Slightly reduce the gold content of this thing, without reducing too much, the interest can be wiped out quietly."

He took out a gold coin in his hand and tossed it up and down. This is a standard gold coin, about 25 grams each, with acceptable purity, issued by each royal family. What Rowling said is not new, the royal families on the mainland often play like this.

Originally, 99% of a gold coin was gold, and the debt was 100, but now the gold content has dropped to 90%, so with the interest added, as long as the number of gold coins paid back is less than 110, then it is considered a profit.

This is the benefit of having minting rights, hehe.

Horn was born as a commoner, so he doesn't have enough knowledge in this area. After thinking about it for a while, he was dumbfounded and stammered: "Is this possible? Iona will definitely see it."

I have never seen such a rogue stealing money.

"Her? It's unlikely that she will see it. After many years, Iona will get used to using the clerk, and she will only care about the number of gold coins. Even if she finds out and doesn't want to, so what?" Luo Lin clapped his hands Putting on the hilt of the sword at his waist, he smiled faintly.

If they really get the right to mint coins, it means that they have the power recognized by the whole continent, and this power is the foundation. At that time, will they still be afraid of a giant frost dragon?

I just robbed you, what can you do? Even if I default, what can you do? I don't want to beat you up!

Saying one thousand to ten thousand, going back to the root, still depends on strength.

Hearing this, Horn took a long breath, his understanding of the world became clearer, and he nodded slightly: "I understand."

Luo Lin patted Horn on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Of course, this is the last resort. There is really no other way to use it. Credit is the most important thing. This is the long-term solution. Otherwise, no one will agree to it when it is difficult in the future." Lent us money, haha."

Horn was taken aback by what Luo Lin said, and he could only spread his hands dumbfounded: "Lord, you are the one who repudiates the debt, and you are the one who credits the debt. I really admire you."

"Just adapt to the situation." Luo Lin laughed.

Horn followed with a smile: "Then I'm going to organize the fleet. According to what you said, I will try my best to find elite crossbowmen."

"Go."

Horn left, and in the evening, Biang came again and gave a list, which clearly stated the cost, 20,000 gold coins.

Another large sum of money, Luo Lin smiled wryly, and wrote a note, asking Biang to find a woman named Iona next to Vianna.

Therefore, Luo Lin owed Iona another 20,000 gold coins.

With the gold coins, the transformation went smoothly. At noon on the fifth day, Bion ran in like crazy, and when he saw Luo Lin, he yelled loudly: "It's amazing! It's amazing! It's really amazing!"

"What's the matter?" Rollins asked.

"The refining speed of the potion is too fast. In half a day, all the raw materials I have accumulated are used up." Bi Ang was sweating profusely, and took out another list: "According to what you said, I used oak barrels to store the medicine. , Now three barrels have been filled! This is the list, I need gold coins to buy a lot of raw materials."

Luo Lin took the list and looked at it. The material cost for one oak barrel is 200 gold coins, which is relatively cheap. A total of 70,000 gold coins are owed.

"If the materials are sufficient, how much potion do you think I can get by the time?" Luo Lin asked. The current business environment on Ficks Island is good, and you should be able to buy enough raw materials from the market, and the ingredients for the Undead Buster's potion are very common, nothing more than sun grass, thorn algae, and coptis root, which are very common.

Even if it is not enough, you can collect it urgently, and there must be many people willing to collect it.

"There are still five days left. I don't think there is any problem with fifty barrels." This was something that Bion had never dared to think about before, but he witnessed it with his own eyes. Apart from being amazed, he respected the earl in front of him.

The earl is really well-informed, and he learned such a good thing from the dwarves. This was the thought in Bion's mind, but he didn't know that the dwarf's understanding of the division of labor was not very sophisticated. To be honest, it was far less profound than Luo Lin's.

"Fifty barrels... barely enough." Luo Lin nodded.

So, Bion took the IOU written by Luo Lin, found Iona, and took the gold coin from Iona, and started buying materials in a big way, and then immediately put them into refining, working in full swing.

Time passed quickly, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Horn lived up to his entrustment and recruited a full 120 merchant ships, which exceeded expectations.

Three armored battleships, in order to guard against the flying units of the undead, each ship carried 300 crossbowmen and 300 archers. In addition to the artillery, bed crossbows were also specially moved up.

In order to prevent accidents, each ship is occupied by a strong man. Luo Lin is guarding the flagship, Narosa is the second ship, Iona is the third ship,

The sailors who sail the boat are also soldiers, and every soldier has been selected. They are the ones who have been killed by the undead. They hate the undead to the bone, but they don't have much feeling for the orcs. This will cause the possibility of accidents caused by hatred. bottomed out.

In this way, each ironclad warship has nearly 900 combatants, plus sharp equipment, 60 barrels (Bion again expected) undead buster potion, and each ship is equipped with three additional magician assistants, Power cannot be underestimated.

Rollin believed that it was enough to deal with the possible volley of the undead.

Before boarding the ship, Luo Lin once again asked Bion to continue to produce and improve the Undead Buster. For this reason, he borrowed 200,000 gold coins from Iona to give Bion to use.

Then, everything was ready, and the fleet sailed mightily towards the south.
