my age of magic

Chapter 1275 79. Construction of Trume Town
(Grimm Empire 2588, spring)

The second price war between 'Fire Gathering' and 'Miniature Tornado' rune boards has just begun, and almost all rune board workshops in the imperial capital have suspended the business of these two rune boards.Even those junior inscription masters who have mastered the 'Fire Gathering Technique' and 'Miniature Tornado' magic circles are forced to give up drawing these two rune boards and try to draw other magic rune boards one after another.

Once the copper hot pot and exhaust fan for the magic pattern red copper rune plate came out, it made life difficult for the workshops in the imperial capital to produce these two rune plates.

Even if those rune plate workshops minimize the price of blank rune plates and leave all the profit margins to the junior inscription masters, the cost of each traditional 'Fire Focus' rune plate still cannot be reduced to seven. Less than ten silver coins.

However, this price is just the price of the new copper hot pot.

The price of a copper chafing dish in the copperware store will not be lower than fifteen silver coins, which means that those rune plate workshops must at least reduce the traditional fire-focusing rune plate to 55 silver coins, and the merchants in the magic store Boring will be profitable.

At the beginning, the rune plate workshops and junior inscription masters in the imperial capital thought that someone must be behind the scenes to disrupt the magic market, and the price reduction was a malicious competition to drag down their opponents, so some rune plate workshops chose to Even if you lose money, you have to keep doing it.

It's just that they didn't expect that at this price, they would last until the spring of next year...

After the dwarf craftsmen successively installed a batch of high-precision gears and transmission shafts on the magic marking machines in the blacksmith shop of Xinliu Valley, the success rate of marking magic patterns on these magic marking machines has suddenly taken a qualitative leap. ' and the 'Miniature Tornado' magic rune board have made new breakthroughs. The reduction in the scrap rate not only greatly reduces the manufacturing cost, but also the output of the rune board has also been significantly improved.

On the rune workshop side, Murray has recently recruited several assembly workers in a row to barely assemble all the rune plates produced by Xinliu Valley.

In the eyes of other rune board workshop bosses, the copper hot pot and exhaust fan basically cost about ten silver if they sell one. However, it has been profitable all the time, and the income brought to me by these two rune boards is nearly [-] magic crystals every month.

That's why there was the second price reduction after the magic seal workshop's manufacturing technology innovation.

This time, I asked Murray to reduce the price of the copper hot pot to 35 silver coins each, and the price of each red copper magic pattern 'Fire Focus' rune plate was reduced to [-] silver coins, and the 'miniature tornado' rune plate was also reduced to [-] silver coins. Make the same price adjustment. This price has just appeared in the magic store and announced, and the magic market in the entire imperial capital is boiling over it.

Those junior inscribers finally let go of their last pride and persistence, and they chose to try to draw other types of magic rune tablets. Although this familiarization process will be very long, and these inscribers will pay high tuition fees, it is better than Hanging from a tree is better.

……

In the past, for every 25 giant crossbow bolts printed by the magic seal workshop, it was almost enough to make a qualified giant crossbow bolt with dual magic attributes, and four or five giant crossbow arrows with single attribute attached.

But now, when the old dwarf craftsmen have replaced those easy-to-wear copper gears with high-precision steel gears, the success rate of printing giant crossbow arrows has suddenly increased to every fifteen can successfully produce a double magic attribute Giant crossbow.

Not only that, the success rate of single-attribute magic crossbow bolts is basically the same as that of waste crossbow bolts, which means that at least half of the remaining fourteen giant crossbow bolts belong to single-attribute magic crossbow bolts that work freely.

In this way, the dual-attribute giant crossbow arrows produced by the two magic seal machines in the magic seal workshop can not only meet the consumption consumption of my own barbarian slave troops, but also sell some external sales. Heads can also bring me huge profits right away.

At the same time, the attached single-attribute giant crossbow arrows will replace the non-attribute giant crossbow arrows and become one of the main magic items sold externally.

In the past, the 'penetrating' effect giant crossbow arrow of 35 silver coins will be reduced to 25 silver coins, and the 'sharp' effect giant crossbow arrow of [-] silver coins will be reduced to [-] silver coins each. 'The giant crossbow arrows of the attribute are very close to the common giant crossbow arrows of four silver coins, and the giant crossbow bolts on this bed crossbow can be used repeatedly in many cases. Perhaps more lords are willing to accept single-attribute giant crossbow arrows head price.

……

The four old dwarves are intensively working on the production of the third-generation new magic engraving machine at the Xinliu Valley blacksmith shop.

The production plan of the two magic rune plates, 'Twilight Illumination' and 'Continuous Frost' designed by Yerkes scholars, has been included in the schedule. The former will be made into a magic wall lamp, and the latter will be used to make a freezer.

These two magic items are mainly for the nobles in the imperial capital. As long as they want to improve the quality of life, I believe that these magic items will be indispensable in their lives.

In addition, in order to support the war between the planes, especially to improve the combat effectiveness of the five hundred barbarian slaves, I also want to further increase the power of the giant crossbow. At present, the double-attribute giant crossbow arrow is already indestructible, so this time I set my sights on the giant crossbow. On the arrow shafts, according to my preliminary idea, these arrow shafts made of indigo wood and hard oak wood should be inlaid with a magic rune plate of "Elementary Wind Control", which can at least increase the size of the giant crossbow by four points. One of the range.

And this time, a semi-circular thin copper plate was inlaid on the shaft of the arrow with the 'Primary Wind Control' rune plate, so it would not be difficult to print this rune plate. In the future, this 'Primary Wind Control' The price of the magic rune board will not be higher than thirty silver coins.

The new giant crossbow bolts will be rolled out among my army of barbarian slaves.

Speaking of those barbarian slaves, under the leadership of Kalanzo and Justus, they are currently cooperating with the Hierro natives in the green valley forest to fight against the spider warriors in the two spider camps in the east and west. There are six spiders in total. The human warlords were stationed in the two spider camps. Even so, Kalantso's wolf attack tactics still made the spider warriors suffer.

When meeting the Spider Warlord, Kalantso will let the orc warriors ride horses to go around in the dense forest. Once the Spider Warlord breaks away from the cover of the Spider Warrior and leaves alone in the dense forest, he will be led into the ambush circle immediately Among them, there are not only nearly [-] barbarian slaves waiting for the spider warlord, but also a large area of ​​fire walls. Even if the spider warlord can rush out of this ambush circle, he will be killed by the dryads in the dense forest. The tree vines are entangled.

The dryads in the green valley forest have not only provided us with convenient forest passages and information about the Nebulu spiders, they have joined the battle against the Nebru spiders. Although these dryads are in the dense forest They can't move, but they can use vines to entangle the Nebru spidermen passing by them.

The last few times I took the time to return to the plane of Yero, I was only in the Trum camp, fighting with a group of barbarian slaves and female orcs to transport the supplies in the underground warehouse of Xinliu Valley.

Since there are more than [-] laborers working day and night in the Trum camp, a large amount of infrastructure materials will be consumed every day recently. Although there are abundant forest resources around the camp, other materials come from the underground warehouse of Xinliu Valley. The large amount of stones that were transported here, especially the large amount of stone hoarded in the Xinliu Valley Quarry, was continuously transported to the underground warehouse by light rail mine trucks, and they would all be carried by barbarian slaves to the Trume camp.

Fortunately, the winter hunting captured enough barbarian slaves. Although their current rough nature has not been worn away in the quarry, there is still no problem in letting them transport stones to the underground warehouse.

Especially when they saw the fifty barbarian slave warriors stationed here in the Trum camp, wearing full black iron armor and carrying huge heavy crossbows, moving casually in the Trum camp, always There will be delicious giant spider leg meat to eat. The smell of the meat makes these stone-carrying barbarian slaves salivate, so they realize that their slave life in the future is actually passable...

As a result, these barbarian slaves became full of strength, carrying stones and striding through the portals.

During this period, Kalancuo twice asked the orc warriors to bring back a large number of black magic crystals from the green valley forest, including two high-level magic crystals. She and Justus actually led the barbarian slaves Hunted and killed two spider warlords in the green valley forest with orc warriors.

This really surprised me a bit.

I didn't expect that these mighty spider warlords, who were able to overwhelm second-rank fighters in battle, would die at the hands of Kalantso and Justus.

The two beautiful annihilation battles commanded by Kalanzo also made Bernd the dwarf see the fact that dwarves are not suitable for commanding battles in the Green Valley jungle, so Bernd returned from the indigenous tribe in the Green Valley jungle to Tru Mu camp, at the same time he also brought back a large number of magic herbs.

Since Elder Singer and I made the first magic herb transaction, Elder Singer discovered that these magic herbs in the tribe are so valuable. Not only can they exchange a lot of delicious wheat cakes for the aborigines, but they can also be exchanged for some weapons. Equipment, these are exactly what the indigenous people in the tribe lack the most.

In particular, the spiders of the Niburu tribe destroyed the ecological balance in the dense forest. The giant spiders hunted and killed the prey in the dense forest. The prey in the forest decreased linearly, which actually affected the survival of these indigenous tribes.

The aborigines usually rely on collecting and hunting in the forest for a living. The appearance of giant spiders makes the aborigines hardly find other prey in the forest. The aborigines gradually find that they cannot fill their stomachs by collecting wild fruits. Appearing in the sight of the natives with some wheat cakes, Elder Singer realized that the magic herbs stored in the tribal warehouse could be exchanged for a large amount of wheat cakes, so he gathered all the magic herbs in the tribe together and prepared Make a second transaction with me.

After learning the news that the dwarf Bernd decided to return to the Trum camp from the aboriginal tribe, Elder Singer asked Bernd to bring these magic herbs back to the Trum camp.

To this end, he also sent a group of Yero natives to help Bernd deliver the magic herbs.

When the dwarf Bernd returned to the Trum camp with a group of Yero natives carrying heavy herbs behind them, the residents of Tanton City in the camp were stunned.

Many of them have lived in Tanton City for most of their lives. In Tanton City, Yale Aboriginal slaves are very common, but no one has ever dealt with these Yale Aboriginal people.

In the eyes of these residents of Tanton City, these Yarrow natives are the most primitive, uncivilized savages. They live a primitive life of raw hair and blood, and they were born as slaves. The aborigines have long had their own civilization in the Black Forest, and they are blessed by the ancient trees of war, the king of the forest.

The Yero natives have the strength to carry the magical herbs from the green valley forest, but they can’t carry the wheat flour they exchanged for from the Trum camp, because there is a huge gap between the two materials. In terms of weight, it is almost fifty times the weight of the magic herb, or even a little more.

Even if there were another [-] indigenous people, there was no way to transport all the wheat flour exchanged back to the tribe.

In order to help the Yero natives transport the exchanged wheat flour to the tribes in the Green Valley Forest, Katerina found Cassandra and asked her to help transport the grain back to the indigenous tribes for these Yero natives. This is Katerina. It was the first time for Sandra to accept a business from an aborigine. Although she was a little hesitant, she agreed after weighing the pros and cons.

According to her later description: At that time, she was also very anxious. After all, she had never dealt with indigenous people before, and the most important point was that her previous adventure group had also hunted indigenous people in the Black Forest. For these indigenous people People have certain prejudices, and she worried that the indigenous people would have the same idea as her, but under Katerina's persuasion, she agreed to give it a try.

In this way, the transportation route of Cassandra's carriage transport team, from the beginning between Tanton City and Trume Camp, extended to the area between Tanton City, Trume Camp, and the indigenous tribes in the Green Valley Jungle Forest. .

At the beginning, Cassandra was forced to contact the Hierro natives because of Katerina's request, but later realized that the Hierro natives also possessed a lot of precious resources.

She slowly tried to do some business with the Yero natives, and now she communicates very frequently with the natives.

Standing on the highest north wall of Trume Camp, you can feel the ever-changing changes of Trume Camp.

Now the scale of the city wall of the Trum camp has been issued. On top of the original 13-meter-high city wall, I asked the laborers to increase the height of the city wall by 25 meters. The auxiliary walls, these auxiliary walls look like steep stairs from the inside of the town of Trume.

Every 50 meters, a [-]-meter-high archery tower will be built on the city wall.

It’s just that these archery towers have just built a circular base more than [-] meters high, and the wooden frames and springboards around the base are still splicing upwards. From a distance, tall buildings wrapped in countless wooden strips stand tall in front of...
