An ordinary day

Odin is sipping tea leisurely, while playing with a translucent blue stone with his other hand.

This is a gift presented by the leader of a large caravan who just came to visit Boulder Fort, a small bag of ice attribute magic crystal mine, which has some value, but it is only that.

Magic crystal ore is a kind of natural elemental ore, the characteristics are similar to the magic core, the texture is hard and rich in elemental energy.

This stuff is produced in various places on the Ella continent, and it is the most common source of energy.

The value of the magic crystal ore lies in its size. The larger the size of the magic crystal ore, the higher the value. A small bag on the table is the cheapest smashed ore. Because of too little energy, it even acts as a magic array energy. The source is not qualified.

If the attribute were not for the ice attribute of the same kind as him, he would not even be interested in taking a look.

"It can be made into exquisite jewelry, the color is transparent, there is no miscellaneous minerals, it seems to have been carefully selected, not too fooling me.

Modi Put things away! If you have a chance to make jewelry in the future, remember to remind me."

"Don't worry, Lord, Modi remembers!"

Old butler bowed and picked up the table Putting on the bag, Odin looked at the old man who had absorbed twenty drops of life energy.

No, with Modi’s current appearance, it’s almost time to say goodbye to the category of the elderly.

The gray hair that used to occupy half of the hair volume is now dark brown and shiny, and it is very thick. The wrinkles on the face are not as deep as before. They are smoothed a lot, and the life energy makes The old Modi has come back to life.

By the way, in winter, another Level 2 believer appeared in the castle. After checking, Odin discovered that it was the servant Vincent.

Being able to enter Level 2 believers means that Vincent has prayed at least every day, and his faith is still firm.

After more than a month of investigation, it was confirmed that Vincent did not fall back, and he was also included in the talent training system.

But life energy is very precious, and its effect on Vincent is also limited, so Odin bestowed him with Earth Element.

Vinson is twenty years old, more than the time to inspire the seeds of Battle Qi, he does not know exactly what effect this drop of Earth Element can have.

"Vincent!"

"Awaiting orders, sir!"

Vincent came up quickly from the first floor, looking like his body a little stronger. Other aspects have not yet seen the difference.

Odin did not specifically watch his changes, but to ask him about other important things.

"How did the things I asked you to prepare before?"

"Go back to my lord, all the things you asked me to purchase have been bought, right in the backyard of the castle It’s on the sidelines of the training field and can be used at any time."

"Well, you go and prepare the materials first, and I will come over immediately."

"Yes!"

No After a while, Odin carried a heavy bag in his hand and came to the side of the training court mentioned by Vincent.

A half-person high stove stands here quietly. There is also a small air supply device under the stove. Vincent is working hard to make the fire in the stove burn more vigorously.

There are crucibles, iron tongs, and hammers on the ground.

It turns out that this is a set of forging equipment for a blacksmith's shop, but it is simple and somewhat like disposable items.

Odin didn't care, he lifted the bag in his hand and poured it into the crucible.

crash-bang!

It is a pile of mottled stones.

Odin held the crucible with his left hand, and his right hand took the hammer and smashed it, breaking the stone inside.

Vincent: "Master, the temperature in the furnace is enough now. This is the finest black coal I bought from the caravan. They said it only takes ten minutes to refining the iron ore. "

"en!"

Odin was expressionless, carefully clamped the crucible with iron tongs and placed it on the stove to heat it.

The flame at the mouth of the furnace was blown by the wind, licking the crucible heartily. Under the action of the high temperature, the broken stones slowly began to soften. At this time, Odin added some Catalyst to it. The melting process speeds up.

After heating for 20 minutes, the stones completely melted into red molten iron. Seeing this, Odin lifted the crucible slightly with iron tongs, and allowed the molten iron to flow into the placed mold from the small opening at the bottom.

Pouring completed

There is still a large part of the black unknown substance in the crucible that cannot be melted. Odin judged that it should be some stone with a higher melting point.

"Well, Vincent, you can stop."

As the air supply stopped, the furnace mouth no longer sprayed flames, Vincent backhanded the furnace with a heavy stone cover口closed.

On the other side, the molten iron glows with red light in the mold. It takes a lot of time to completely cool down. Odin can’t wait. He stretches out a finger and taps on the mold, activating the extreme dynamic characteristics to absorb a little Heat.

The red light fades at the speed that naked eye can see, revealing its gray and black color.

It's an iron ingot!

Odin's face couldn't help showing joy. The stone he poured into the cauldron just now was the suspected iron ore that Ruvid had collected on the stone beach of the Black Iron River.

These stones have been kept in the castle and have not been moved until now that he has free time, he only mentioned the matter.

In order to keep it secret, a month ago, he ordered Vincent to gather this set of smelting devices from various caravans and conduct verification experiments in the castle.

The scene just now is the simplest ironmaking process.

Odin stretched out his hand to buckle out the mold. The iron ingot is not big and can only be counted as an iron bar. The surface is rough and has small holes, and the color is not very positive. There should be too many impurities.

If you continue to forge with a hammer, you can get better iron ingots.

"It’s not necessary. The facts have proved that these stones are indeed iron ore, but there are too many impurities.

These stones washed down by water should be the most On the surface, there are iron ore with higher iron content in the depths of the gravel ridge. This shows that... a large iron ore is in the depths of the gravel ridge!"

He was shocked that an iron mine was looking at the Human Race and the nations were also incredible.

The economic value and strategic value are difficult to estimate.

"Vincent, dispose of all these things, don't let anyone know that iron ingots have been made in the Boulder Castle, understand!"

"Oh, sir!"

After a word of advice, Odin took the iron ingot in his hand and left. He had to think about the next step for the boulder collar.

Quiet study room

Odin sits alone

Before, he also thought about what would happen if an iron mine actually appeared in the boulder collar.

But he only thought about the most superficial point at that time and didn't think too much. Now that the iron ore has been confirmed to exist, then he has to think carefully.

There are two paths before him now.

The first way is to keep the town development plan unchanged and work steadily. All aspects go hand in hand until iron ore is found naturally, which means that this verification does not exist.

The second way is to change the established development route, with the goal of developing iron ore, vigorously develop military strength, smelting level, and forging level, so as to make perfect preparations for mining iron ore.

In fact, there is a third way, which is to release the news and cooperate in-depth with the Bloodhoof Fort to jointly develop iron ore.

"It's not easy to choose!"

Odin grabbed his hair and was a little worried. The difference between these three roads is really too big. Any direction is enough to change the whole The fate of the town.

This choice is not easy to do!

As the mind turns, the pure star power in Odin's body begins to spread, and Wanxing Meditation Method unconsciously starts to operate.

Close your eyes, the translucent star power like a bright white moonlight begins to elute from Odin's brain.

The strands, strands, shaped like long flying hair all over the head, spread to the entire study, floating in the air and swinging back and forth.

The number of star power hair strands is tens of thousands.

From time to time, a bright spot is sent to Odin’s brain from the end of every star power hair, which is a variety of pheromone captured by star power hair in real time.

Some are useful, some are useless, and most of them are useless.

Thinking Odin accidentally turned on the predictive ceremony with his pure star power, but this is only the instinctive application of star power, and the method is very superficial.

Between the transparent hair tips fluttering, the star power is rapidly consumed. This state only lasts for one minute and it bottoms out, predicting the end of the ceremony.

"Um..."

Youyou turned to wake up.

"I just had a dream. It was very vague. It seemed to be about mining iron ore. Many powerful soldiers broke into my boulder fort. It was too terrifying."

Odin Hit a cold silence!

The picture in the dream does not represent a predictable result, but a kind of probability. This kind of probability allows Odin to temporarily dispel the idea of ​​developing iron ore.

Driven by such unimaginable interests, the position of the Boulder Neck is no different from the Level 12 vortex center.

When the time comes, don’t mention making money, and being able to protect yourself is already a high incense.

Through this vague prediction, Odin finally calmed down from the excitement of Xide Iron Mine, and understood what he really wanted to consider.

Not the benefit that can be reaped, but the price to be paid.

Can he pay this price? Would you like to pay? This is the problem!

On this road of cooperation, the price that needs to be paid is sovereignty. To mine iron ore, it is bound to allow others to join in and participate in mine development.

A large number of miners, workers, soldiers, and managers will destroy the existing management system of Boulder Town, and these people are not under his control.

How does this work?

Although he can receive a lot of benefits in a short time, Odin cannot accept that his own territory cannot be the master.

As for second changing the direction of development and using its own military force and population for development, the price paid is to face the glare like a tiger watching his prey from other forces.

Everyone wants to bite a piece of fat on him, on the surface, the secret moves are endless, as long as he can't stand it, it will be the end of the fort.

"Jushiling has to accumulate strength, and can no longer be idle. We must find ways to speed up the pace of development and strive to have the power to independently develop iron ore as soon as possible!"

Odin immediately made a decision that the current development route of the town remains the same, but the speed and focus can be slightly increased. The first road and the second road are both considered.

Dongdong dong!

As Odin was thinking, there was a slight knock on the door.

"Master, Administrative Officer Ruvid, I have been waiting in the living room for a while."

"Well, I see, you can go down first."

"Yes."

Butler left behind the door.

In this period of time, the town’s government affairs are busy, and the frequency of Ruvid’s reporting on government affairs has decreased a lot. Most of the time, people are sent to record government affairs handbooks for Odin to read.

If he needs to make a decision, he will directly annotate it on the handwritten note. If it is a trivial matter, just ignore it, which can greatly improve work efficiency.

If you think about it, if the administrative officer of every town in his father Rock Territory would personally report to his work, then Otis would not have to do anything else all day.

Just sit in the Bloodhoof fort all day and meet with the administrative officer.

Therefore, in order to improve work efficiency and save travel time, the government handbook has become a necessary reporting tool, which is also a common way for the great aristocracy to manage the territory.

"Ruvid, why did you come here in person today?"

"Hehe, my lord, there are good things to report to you this time your subordinates are here!"

Looking at Ruvid with a smile on his face, Odin suspiciously.

"Good thing? What good thing?"

"It is such an adult, the number of permanent mercenaries in the mercenary tavern and hotel has exceeded 500 people, and the flow to and from Boulder Town The number of mercenaries is as high as tens of thousands a month.

According to the standards set by the headquarters of the Human Race mercenary guilds of various countries, we can apply to the guild headquarters to establish a Guild Branch."

" What's the use of establishing a Guild Branch?"

The first time I contacted a mercenary guild, Odin didn’t know much about it. He only knew that the mercenary guild was the place to manage mercenaries.

According to his understanding, mercenaries are a very loose organization, and a mercenary guild is of little significance, and he doesn't feel Ruvid's happiness at all.

"My lord, you don't know, the mercenary guild is very useful! Do you think there is a mercenary guild in Poppy Town?"

"It doesn't seem to be there."

Odin thought for a while and shook his head.

"Not only the town of Poppy, but also the few big towns that continue to the east. In the entire Rock Territory, only Rock City has the Guild Branch!"

" Ah! The establishment standard is still quite high."

Odin understood a bit, and Ruvid continued.

"The mercenary division has many functions, such as recruiting new recruits, assessing occupation levels, issuing mercenary tasks, redeeming contribution points, special skills guidance...

According to the division The stars of the Boulder Town are different, and the functions are slightly different.

Boulder Town has met the lowest one-star branch standard. A week before, I sent a letter to the two-star mercenary points in Rock City. Ministry.

Now I have got their official reply, look at it, my lord!"

Speaking, Ruvid took out an envelope from his arms, opened it and handed it over.

[Dear Boulder Town Administrative Officer, we have received your request. After receiving a positive response from the headquarters, we will send someone to Boulder Town to investigate the situation on the ground within one week. Please do well Related preparations.

Guild Branch, a two-star mercenary in Rock City.

A very official reply.

According to Ruvid, the rarity of the mercenary guild made Odin keenly discover the potential of this.

"It seems that the role of the mercenary guild is beyond my cognition. In this case, then we will run this mercenary guild! You are telling me about the details of the mercenary guild."

Under Ruvid's explanation, Odin finally figured out the operating mechanism of the Mercenary Guild.

As a pan-continent neutral organization, the mercenary guild has its members all over the continent and all races.

Within the range of activities of each race, there is a mercenary headquarters to manage and coordinate the behavior of mercenaries within that range.

Above the mercenary headquarters, there is also a highest honor institution, the pioneer Elder Council.

The participants are all the strongest people in the race. The two existing sky Paladins of Human Race naturally get involved.

Under the mercenary headquarters, there are mercenary branches of various stars as a management supplement. After all, the area is so large and there are so many mercenaries. It is definitely not possible to rely on a headquarters alone.

The grade of the branch starts from the lowest one with five stars as the highest.

Each branch has a core member dispatched by the headquarters to serve as the president, and the president is solely responsible for branch affairs. As for other management personnel, the president selects the Association Outer Member to serve.

Or hire a suitable person on the spot.
