Magic Industrial Age.

Chapter 221: Isis Jiuquan (219 monthly tickets last month plus more)

Virgil looked alert. The skinny old man held the water bag in his arms and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"I'm just curious. I'm really curious. I never thought there would be such a treasure that can quickly restore fighting spirit?"

Virgil looked very proud and laughed, "That's because you are so narrow-minded!

Moreover, this can not only restore fighting spirit, but also restore magic power. It is definitely a must-have treasure for home travel, murder and arson!"

"So what is this?"

"Have you ever heard of a tree shepherd?"

Luo Yi frowned slightly, and Deep Blue started up immediately. After searching, a series of information appeared in his mind.

"You seem to be talking about the tree shepherd that appears in mythology?"

"I didn't expect you to have some knowledge?"

Virgil looked impressed, and seeing the curious looks from the other three, he explained, "Tree herders are a unique race, and they are no longer seen in the Old World today.

Well, in fact, even if it is the New World, I don’t think I will see it.”

"They are a race whose mission is to graze the forest. It is said that they are creatures transformed from the most ancient trees. They wander the world in order to turn the barren land into a forest."

Otto couldn't help but interject, "Like an elf?"

Virgil shook his head: “In ancient times, elves and tree herders were mortal enemies!

The reason is simple. The tree shepherds believe that the elves are a group of parasites that live in the forest. With their presence, they will only absorb the nutrients of the trees and cause the forest to wither and decay. "

"As it turns out, they have a point. Of course, the elves didn't recognize it, and there were several major battles between the two sides, and the conflict was deep!"

Luo Yi hurriedly asked: "Uh, let's talk about this treasure first?"

“Oh, this is the byproduct of the tree herders’ grazing in the forest, it’s the wine they brew.

They call it the Well of Isis, after the Well of Life of the Elves."

“Of course, compared to the widespread popularity of the Fountain of Life, its fame has been lost in the long river of history.

But you can’t underestimate its role.”

"Recovering fighting spirit and magic power is nothing. The most important thing is to cultivate various green plants. Just one drop can make the green plants sprout, bloom and bear fruit."

"So magical?"

Luo Yi couldn't help it, he leaned forward again and said: "My Lord Bishop Virgil, you see, you and my father are also good friends, and my trip is full of dangers.

How about giving me some Isis wine?"

"Don't even think about it!"

Magic power surged, and Virgil flipped his hands to indicate that it was gone: “This was given to me by a tree shepherd friend a long time ago. After all these years, this is all that is left.

I can't bear to use it myself, and you still want it? Dream on!"

"I don't want much either, just eight or ten drops will be fine?"

"Humph!"

"Three or five drops, I can accept that?"

"Hum hum!"

"Can I buy it with my own money? Gold Tiele, yellow, shining gold Tiele, can't I?"

"This one……"

Virgil was somewhat interested, and Luo Yi saw that there was a way, and a light bulb went off in his mind and he had an idea.

He looked at Virgil and asked, "Um, Bishop, His Majesty the Great Red Dragon, are you short of money?"

"No shortage!"

“Yes, you are not short of small money, but you are short of big money, and even more short of channels to make money.

I believe you can understand Count Karl's choice. The reason why he is so eager to promote magic machinery is because he sees the trend of the times."

"There's a saying that goes, if you stand at the center of a storm, even pigs can fly! You should know what this means."

"This represents wealth, huge wealth, enough to build many golden houses."

"You really don't want a piece of the pie?"

"How do you divide it, you ask?"

"It's simple. Just join my company and become an original shareholder! I will help you all get rich. I will help you all make a lot of money. I will make more money than you can imagine.

Then you can build a palace, cover it with gold, and sleep on it!"

"What, I lied to you?"

"How could I lie to you? If you ask around, you'll find out that I went to Oakland in the Habsburg Empire, where I studied for two years.

Yes, just two years!
However, I have accumulated at least hundreds of thousands of gold tyres of wealth, and half of the people in the city depend on my industry for their livelihood.

This is absolutely not false.”

“Oliveira, he is the witness, you can ask him, if you don’t believe it, just go there.

You can look at that place, everyone who cooperated with me made a lot of money."

“Of course, if you want to join my company, you have to invest. It’s not much, just give me ten drops first.

It's an initial investment. Then, you go to investigate and we go to the battlefield.

We’ll talk about it in detail next time we meet.”

"I promise that if you invest in my company, you will never suffer any loss. The annual growth rate of 200% is absolutely guaranteed."

"What? You can't do it? If you can't do it, I'll compensate you!" "If you don't believe me, write it down as proof!"

……

The long night is finally over!
As the sky was about to brighten, Sunset Town was still dead silent.

In the past, the herdsmen would have gotten up early and been busy, but on this day, only Virgil Berry was walking towards Sunset Town.

After a while, another wave of magical power came.

Even if it was a group spell, it could cover the population of Sunset Town, which would still keep him busy for a long time.

In the other direction, Loy, Oliveira, Iron Knight Phil and Flame Sword Saint Otto began to move forward towards the rising sun!
Although the battle ended with a result that no one had imagined, everyone was still in a good mood.

At first, everyone remained quiet, but after a while, someone couldn't help it anymore.

The Flame Sword Saint Otto asked directly: "My Lord Count, it's not good for you to deceive a red dragon like this, right?

If he gets angry, we can’t stop him!”

Luo Yi rolled his eyes: "I don't like what you said, 'lie', when did I lie to him?"

"What I said is true, okay!!!"

Iron Knight Phil continued, “So is the 200% annual asset increase true?

Besides, you said you wanted to help him make money, but the problem is, where is the company?"

"In the entire Flower Territory, there is only one Lion Chamber of Commerce, and it is mainly engaged in shipping!"

"You don't believe me?"

Luo Yi finally stopped, turned his head slightly, looked at Iron Knight Phil, then looked at Flame Sword Saint Otto, and asked, "You don't think that what I just said was all lies, right?"

"Isn't it?"

“Of course not, even though the company doesn’t have one yet, it really could have one!
I am familiar with making money, and now is a great time, there are opportunities to make money everywhere!"

"By then, not only Red Dragon, you will all have shares. Don't worry, your income will definitely not be less than what you have now!"

“When this extra income becomes the main source of income, you will no longer care about the small amount of income from the fields.

By then, it will be much easier to change the system, liberate the farmers, conduct a census and re-educate them."

Seeing that the two seemed not to understand, Luo Yi did not want to explain in detail. That was related to his subsequent plans, and there was no point in saying more now.

"Okay, okay, all you have to do is follow my footsteps. I guarantee that you will gain much more than before."

As he said this, Luo Yi seemed to have thought of something and raised his hand to take out a bottle of magic potion.

Inside, there is a ball of emerald green liquid, exuding a rich breath of life.

Exactly, Isis Jiuquan!

He took out another empty potion bottle, carefully dropped a drop into it, put the cap back on, and threw it to the Iron Knight Phil.

Even though it was a fourth-order natural disaster, at this moment, Iron Knight Phil was in a hurry to take it. Holding the bottle, he couldn't help but ask: "Lord Earl, what are you doing?"

"Of course, whoever sees it gets a share!"

Following the same method, Loyi again took out two drops and gave them to the Fire Sword Saint Otto and Oliveira respectively.

With this, it's like having an extra life-saving trump card, and no one will think it's too much.

And there were only about eight or nine drops left in the small bottle.

After carefully putting it away, Luo Yi finally said, "Okay, now we have to hurry up. We need to catch up with the main force in the shortest possible time."

"Also, I hope nothing happens in Frost Moon Canyon!"

……

When the four of them let go and hurried on their way, they naturally went very fast.

Moreover, although it is a long story, in fact, they didn't waste much time, so they caught up with the main force two days later.

It has been a long time since he appeared, and even with the protection of Grand Knight Alfonso Zeke, it is difficult to hide it.

The knights' commotion was not suppressed until Loy showed up.

At this moment, Luo Yi discovered that the team had grown a lot bigger again.

Naturally, additional knights came along the way, bringing more or less militiamen with them, and the team continued to expand.

Basically, a powerful empire would maintain a number of full-time soldiers who would train in combat skills and study how to win wars every day!
For example, the Habsburg Empire even abolished the chivalry system and instead implemented a completely new military service.

But in a small country like the Norman Duchy, knights and militia are still the main force.

The sign of war is that the knights receive orders, bring their own armor and weapons, organize their territory militia, bring food and supplies, and set foot on the battlefield.

There are many reasons for this situation. The most important one is the low productivity. The output of a village can only support the training needs of a knight.

In this way, by enfeoffing the knights, the rule could be maintained.

But this approach also means slow mobilization, uneven levels of troops, difficult to coordinate command, weak fighting will and many other problems!
After Luo Yi caught up with the main group, he really felt that moving forward in this unsteady way was too slow.

But there is no way. The knights are still gathering, and the troops are still gathering. We can only go slower.

Well, if this is the case with the Raymond family, the Wick family won’t be much better!
Even if there are other families supporting him, such as Earl Wick's superior nobles, the Carlisle family.

Even if they want to mobilize troops, they have to do it so slowly!

Of course, it was slow, and Luo Yi had some different ideas, such as trying to accumulate full fighting spirit.

Another example is breaking through the extraordinary!

　The third update is here!
