my age of magic

Chapter 746 246. Xin Liugu's Night Talk

Taking this opportunity to stay in Xinliu Valley for a short time, the dwarf Bernd took me to see the silk reeling workshop. I saw a long row of huge wooden cages against the wall in a huge stone room. , Those wooden cages can just completely restrain the giant spiders' bodies, each one is like their new shells, and those big guys without tentacles and spider legs lie in it in humiliation.

Opposite each wooden cage is a simple wooden spinning wheel. Sitting on the spinning wheel are clear aboriginal women. They are spinning the wooden spinning wheel vigorously with one hand, reeling pure white silk thread, and putting A cane with thorns, the whole cane is soaked in a wooden barrel filled with cold water, as long as the giant spiders on the opposite side are suspected of being lazy, they will be whipped by the indigenous women.

These aboriginal women probably hated these giant spiders. Anyway, when our group first entered the silk reeling workshop, we could hear the sound of whips whipping inside.

"crack" "crack" "crack"

The sound was clear and loud, and the high-frequency screams of giant spiders like killing pigs came out from time to time. When they were whipped, they would tremble violently, scream loudly, and their hearts were filled with fear, and then It will work hard to spit out white tough spider silk.

On the side of the wall behind these aboriginal women, there is a row of brand-new wooden shelves, which still exude a fresh smell of resin, and the rows of wooden shelves are dragged with ingots of spider silk, which is almost continuous here. There are five layers of spider silk placed on a wooden shelf that is more than 300 meters long. These spider silks are neatly placed on it, and each ingot of spider silk will exude a faint natural magical atmosphere.

Looking at those pure white silk threads, Qige and I both took a deep breath, looked at each other inexplicably, and couldn't hide the surprise in our eyes.

Neither of us thought that in less than half a month, the giant spiders in the underground caves would produce so much spider silk. According to this production speed, it would not take long for these spider silks to be wiped out. Fill all the wooden frames in this silk reeling workshop.

The dwarf Bernd kept complaining that those lazy goblins were too slow in digging the stone chambers. The warehouse dedicated to storing these spider silks had not been dug out yet, and he was worried about placing them in those natural caves casually, so these Such a large number of spider silk spindles can only be stored on wooden shelves, and these spider silks will be stored in a special stone room in a unified way in the future.

After crossing the silk reeling workshop, Qige couldn't help but continue to walk inside. Inside was a row of orderly stone chambers. These stone chambers seemed to have existed for a long time. Some stone chambers were filled with a room full of elementary magic herbs. Some stone chambers are filled with a room full of copper ingots, and magic red copper accounts for half of these copper ingots.

I have never carefully counted how many magic red copper and ordinary copper ingots are preserved in the underground caves, but I do know that before the goblins in those underground caves were cleared, the copper ingots I hoarded were only two or three stone chamber.

Now in this section of the rock cave, our group has walked hundreds of meters forward, and at intervals of 20 meters, a stone chamber will be dug alternately on the stone walls on both sides. Rows of copper ingots are piled up in these stone chambers. Those copper ingots are stacked like rows of neat shelves.There are more than 30 stone rooms that store copper ingots. It seems that these days, the settlement of the surrounding goblin tribes has not stopped.

In such a short period of time, my wealth has increased geometrically.

Going deeper, I haven't seen the group of goblin laborers yet, and I don't know where Bernd has arranged them to work. In short, I don't know why the dwarves hate the goblins so much. Bernd's hatred for the goblins is It came from his bones, so he would definitely not let go of those goblin slaves easily.

Further into the deeper branch stone cave, it is filled with precious wood.

There are iron wood, indigo wood, and oak wood, which are all sawn into standard one-meter-square and six-meter-long sections. Those wood stacks are not so particular, and they are randomly placed in the cave, extending far away .

Over time, the wood accumulated in the underground caves has reached a terrifying amount.

The dwarves can store magic herbs, magic red copper, precious wood, and even some unknown things searched from goblin tribes in fixed warehouses. As long as these warehouses are safe enough, Bernd doesn't care about other trivial matters. I didn't expect him to make greater changes to the underground warehouse in such a short period of time. It is surprising enough that he can do so many things in such a short period of time.

Unexpectedly, in another cave, the whole cave was completely rebuilt by him into a very complete wine cellar, with an exquisite wine cellar door. When he opened the door and walked into the wine cellar, he saw [-] barrels of golden cider quietly Lying on the wooden frame inside, hollow steel pipes appeared one after another every five meters, and these hollow steel pipes were deeply embedded in the stone wall.

This is a measure used by the hollow steel pipe to prevent the surrounding goblins from digging holes in from one side to steal the golden cider. If there is a business of digging rocks in the stone wall, if it is transmitted to the steel pipe, the sound will be infinite enlarge.

At the same time, this wine cellar has very complete ventilation and moisture-proof facilities. It can be seen that the dwarf Bernd is very concerned about this wine cellar. Perhaps in his heart, this underground wine cellar occupies a very important place in his heart. Heaviest weight.

There used to be special orc warriors in the wine cellar who were in charge of guarding here, but now most of the guards here have been replaced by the natives from the Hierro plane. As for those orc warriors, we have all drawn them out. The battle above basically relied on the full support of these orc warriors in Xinliu Valley.

After walking around this circle, Qige had a general understanding of my wealth. Little stars lit up in her eyes, and she exclaimed and said to me: "Jijia, I didn't expect you to have so many resources, which are more valuable than those in the empire." The wealth owned by those so-called earls is not too much, hey, why are you hoarding these resources here, wouldn’t it be better to exchange them for magic crystals, maybe you can focus on developing this rich little plane?”

I scratched my head, and casually said my thoughts that I never told anyone: "Of course I have thought about this, but I don't want to show these wealth before I can justify the source and provenance of these materials. Once exposed , it will only harm me but not benefit me."

Qige looked at me with wide eyes, analyzed for me and said: "That is to say, if you want to own a territory of your own, and then count the output of Xinliu Valley on the head of that territory, you are really good enough!" Shrewd, no wonder you care so much about those meritorious deeds, after this trip to Hierro, you are probably one step closer to your goal, right?"

I said firmly: "Well, I think it should be almost the same."

Then he asked her again: "Qige, do you think my merits in the Hierro plane are enough to exchange for the territory of a small town in the Grimm Empire?"

Qige frowned, rubbed his forehead with light-white fingers, thought for a while, and then said: "It should be about the same! But, you are sure to exchange for the territory of the empire. In addition to the population, Green's side What else can there be?"

At this moment, I suddenly thought that I really don’t need to be obsessed with owning a small piece of territory in Green. As Qige said, almost all resources of the Green Empire are almost exhausted except for the population. The prosperity of the Green Empire is the establishment of Countless resources on countless fertile planes were continuously transported into the Grimm Empire, which made the Grimm Empire have such a prosperous and prosperous age.

I patted my forehead, and suddenly became more awake, so I said: "That's right, but this matter is not urgent, let me think about it again. Next, it's time for us to harvest the wheat, let's go back to Hierro Let's see what that box of fire phosphorous bombs brought us!"

　Overslept today, that's all.
