Heimarian Odyssey

The Principality of Zelot’s annual offering of rare earth mines is inseparable from Locke’s guess.

About 60% will be turned over to the Omor Empire, and the remaining 40% will be used to buy food and develop the economy and people's livelihood.

Locke's opening is about 30%, which means that the principality of Zelot can only get 10% of the mining cost.

But the fat man agreed. He valued not the remaining value of the newly-opened rare earth mine, but his confidence that he would complete the planned mining tasks before this winter.

The Principality of Zelot is located in the northern part of the Omor Empire, where the temperature is extremely low and the climate is dry. Every year, a considerable number of laborers in the Principality of Zelot are frozen and killed in the pit.

Winter is the death season of the Principality of Zelot. During the New Year of the people of other countries, when sitting around a fire in the family, the civilians of the Principality of Zelot must carry their hoes to work in the dark and deep mine.

This year's situation is even more critical. The stone haunted bear in the Laren Forest has been raging for nearly two months, which directly led to the shutdown of several high-yield rare earth mines in the Laren Highlands for two months.

Before the banquet tonight, the Fat Grand Duke had even drawn from the staff and ministers the number of workers who might be frozen this year.

As mentioned earlier, although Duke Zelot usually likes wine, this guy can barely be called a diligent ruling.

The Principality of Zelot had only a population of more than 100,000 ten years ago. After he took office, he has grown to nearly 200,000 people, which can be regarded as a miracle.

If what Locke said is true, it is a bonanza with staggering reserves. The principality of Zelot this year is very hopeful that it will complete this year's mining target before entering the winter.

Grand Duke Zelott was very concerned about the newly discovered rare earth mine, because in their principality of Zelote, there were few rich ores that could work for the first-class knights. Of course, there were also reasons why the rare earth mine was an open pit mine.

The open pit mine is good, with low mining difficulty, high efficiency, and good operation, that is, only 10% of the income can also make the treasury of the Principality of Zelot.

"That's yours." Locke patted the fat man's shoulder with encouragement.

He didn't sign any contract. The profit of a rare earth mine was only 30%. It is expected that this fat man will not regret it. The consequences of deceiving a first-level knight are not so easy to bear.

"By the way, if you lack a trading caravan, I can send a team to come over." Locke remembered Morgan and other families who had reached a cooperation with themselves not long ago.

"So thank you Locke Knight too!" Grand Architect Zelot thanked him heartily.

This country is so remote and has a single production model. There are only a few business trips. If Locke can send a new caravan, it will have a great role in stimulating the national economy.

"Yeah." Locke nodded. The Bili family's business network in the Omor empire was very wide. As far as the western Gobi provinces had business, but the shop was not too big.

Now let them go to the north to develop and develop, presumably they are also happy.

After a few more conversations with Archduke Zelot, Locke turned and left.

In the matter of mining new rare earth mines, Locke is not a good person.

Rare earth has another nickname "radiation stone". Since the radiation intensity of the open-pit rare earth mine can have a little effect on the first-class knights such as Locke, what is the side effect on ordinary human beings?

Every year, there are countless miners who freeze to death in the Principality of Zelot in the winter, but every year they are affected by radiation, and there are many humans that mutate.

Many civilians die in their later years of work, either ulceration or mutation, multiple arms, and a few eyes, which is normal.

The average life expectancy of ordinary humans in the wizarding world is 40 years old, while the average life expectancy of civilians in the Principality of Zelot is 30 years old

Locke is not a saint, he can't control much.

Even if it is known that there will be many miners in the Principality of Zelot, they will die in this open-pit rare earth mine.

They will use their lives to turn into a fortune and enter Locke's pocket.

In fact, Locke is saving them again. Without this new rare earth mine, the delay of this year's construction period is two months. The miners who freezed to death in the Principality of Zelot in winter are definitely far more than the number of deaths due to the radiation of the veins. .

Sending a caravan to send the Bili family, this may be what Locke subconsciously hopes to make up. It is also good to slightly improve the status quo of the Principality of Zelot.

Two weeks later, Locke returned to Princeton.

A bear paw of Shimao's violent bear was proved to him by the mission and was handed over to the knight palace.

"Well, yes, this is a second-degree mutant Shimao bear, right?" The man who received Locke was an old man who could not see the depth.

With a white beard and a rather strong body, this old knight can be regarded as an old prostitute.

Locke didn't know what the second-degree mutation was, and he could only stand there humbly, without any arrogance.

The Stone Margaret Bear is really not something that a novice knight during a ten-year mission can deal with. When Rock meets this guy, it's a blind cat and a dead mouse.

Two days and one night of protracted battle, Locke has not experienced such a long battle.

"The guy did a good job. This is your annual salary. You don't need to go to the logistics office. I'll give it to you directly." The old man seemed to be quite big. After praised Locke, he threw him a bag of energy spar. .

The 36-year-old Locke's mouth twitched. The title of the young man, Locke remembers that the last time someone called himself this way, it was during a plane war more than a decade ago.

Without entangled with this old knight for too long, Lock led his pension and left respectfully.

Ho! Fifty high-grade wind crystals are nearly double that of last year. This is a disguised reward for the completion of the mission by the Knight Palace, and it is also an affirmation of his strength.

After earning a salary, Locke wondered whether he would go home first to enjoy the gentleness of the two daughters of Rafi and Xia Qian, or go to Hals and others for a drink.

Two years later, in a tropical forest in the eastern part of the Omor Empire.

Hals and others who just completed a World of Warcraft hunting mission sat around the fire, chatting and talking with each other while grilling the hind legs of the stone pig.

"Hey, Locke, I heard that your woman is a half-elf? Yan Fu is not shallow!" Hals winked at Locke sitting on the branch.

Rock in the tree rolled his eyes and ignored the idiot.

"If you want to solve your personal problems, go to the Rose Square in the trading area! I heard Mo Lidi say that a new batch of purebred elves have entered there!" Shelley said spontaneously.

Women are sometimes rugged and dare to say more than men.

I went to the Rose Square, and Locke heard this group of guys mention it many times, but unfortunately never went there.

It is said to be the property of a third-level sky knight who likes females in the knight palace.

The heavenly knight is so magical. In the Rose Workshop under it, there are all kinds of sweet singers, desert beauties, and prairie beauties, but the signature there is a group of deep-sea mermaids. Belt bag.

Sometimes, some eccentric female creatures will be added for the animals in the knight palace to vent.

"Purebred elves, if I had that money, I might as well change myself into a set of inner armor." Hals muttered.

With his assets, redemption of a pure-bred elf from Rose Square takes about three years without eating, drinking or drinking. This exquisite appearance of the eccentric creature is a sought-after item in the knight palace.

Even if it gets boring in the future, it will be sold to the holy tower and let the magicians extract a few bottles of elven essence blood, which is enough for them to get back 30% of the cost.

The spirit blood of the elves is similar to the bottle of elven potions that Locke had previously obtained. Both can convert human blood vessels into half-elves, but the extraction method is a bit bloody, and there are some sequelae.

"Jean, how much can we make this time?" On the other side, Joyce turned and asked the thin man sitting beside the campfire.

"The magician said, fifty crystals per person." Jean opened his palm and compared the numbers.

"Fuck, please let us go out for a few red missions, only fifty energy spars!" Hals complained again.

Everyone at the scene ignored him.

This mission is not difficult, mainly because it takes time and effort. They need to track a five-eyed tarantula family in the jungle. The first-level magician of the holy tower requires twelve tarantula eyeballs to create a certain Pieces of magic equipment.

"After this mission is completed, the elder brother takes you to play in the Kingdom of Franca?" The guy, Hals, saw no one and ignored him and jumped back into the tree to hook up with Locke.

The longer he contacted Hals, the more Locke felt that it was a tease, with a simple mind and well-developed limbs, talking about Hals.

"If I can complete this task before November, I will play with you for half a month." Locke narrowed his eyes, the old **** said.

"Before November? Go ahead!" Hals rolled his eyes and slap Locke excitedly.

Shelley and others also cast a look of interest, "I haven't returned in five years." Shelley squeezed his hair and said.

"I don't know what happened to the group of ice fish I kept in the moat outside the king city. If there are a large number, I invite you to eat ice fish." Arnold Han said with a smile.

They are all Franz, first-class knights in the Omor Empire.

In the past, he returned to Franca once every ten years, and exchanged substitutions with the few remaining first-level knights.

"We have a lot of fun in Franca, and Franca's women are also famous in the surrounding countries for their cleverness in snow and ice. If you don't dislike, brother, I can send you a few beautiful women as maids!" Big look, said to Locke with a laugh.

"Let's talk." Lock shrugged.

He didn’t know anything famous about Franca, but Franca was notoriously poor. He had heard of it, and that was a country of ice and snow. Who knows which piece of ice sculpture Hals said is a good thing?
