Chapter 117 Amy's Place

The entrance to the base.

The sound of horses neighing and people shouting continued.

A group of Chamber of Commerce staff were busy lifting boxes of goods off the truck, sweating profusely.

The steward next to him was still shouting, "Be careful, be gentle, there are valuables in there, if you break anything, I'll deduct a month's salary from you and you won't be able to pay for it!"

There were more than a dozen particularly sturdy and strong men in the crowd, with thick body hair and distinct beast features. They were holding a heavy box in one hand and looked relaxed.

Mu Zhuo, who was not far away, saw this and nodded secretly.

It seems that taking in these beastmen is a wise decision. They can serve as guards, and they can also work. They are hardworking and willing to work without complaint. One salary can hire the labor equivalent of two or three people, which is very cost-effective.

After the beast disaster, the beastmen could no longer stay in the Principality of Stars. They were hated and expelled wherever they went.

So the beastmen migrated to the surrounding countries.

Among them, a large number of beastmen poured into the Principality of Jinghua.

Because of Ota's plea, Mu Zhuo decided to take in a group of beastmen. This caused a lot of criticism within the Chamber of Commerce at the time, but now it seems that he did nothing wrong.

As I was thinking, I suddenly heard a rumbling sound in my ears.

The gate of the base slowly opened, and tall clay golems walked out.

Each of them was carrying several boxes stacked on top of each other, which looked extremely heavy.

When they arrived in front of the caravan, the clay golems gently placed the box on the ground, but it still made a muffled bang, which made the surrounding Chamber of Commerce members secretly gasp in shock.

"These big guys are so strong!"

“Those boxes must weigh a ton!”

"I heard it's called a golem."

"It's amazing!"

The members of the Chamber of Commerce were whispering and pointing at the clay golem.

Especially those newcomers who saw the clay golem for the first time, their eyes widened with curiosity.

"Mr. Sherman."

Mu Zhuo caught a glimpse of a figure walking out of the base from the corner of his eye, and his eyes immediately lit up as he went to greet him.

Compared to his immature appearance when he first met a few years ago, Xie Man now possesses a calm and steady temperament that makes people dare not underestimate him.

"Long time no see, President Mu Zhuo."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Sherman pointed to the boxes piled on the ground not far away and said with a smile:

"These are the metals to be traded this time. They have all been smelted into ingots. Send someone to count them. If there is no problem, we will keep the previous price."

After successfully developing the mineral veins around Youhu City, the trade between the Fire Fox Chamber of Commerce and Sunan expanded to include metal trading in addition to potions.

After all, there are five mineral veins (including the silver vein in the cave), and the clay golems have extremely high mining efficiency. The monthly output of iron, copper, gold and silver is astonishingly high. The Flash Territory alone cannot digest it all, and most of it has to be sold to the outside.

Mu Zhuo responded, turned around and told the steward to take people to count the supplies, then turned to look at Xie Man and said carefully: "Sir Xie Man, I received a letter from Lord Sunan before, saying that he wanted to increase the number of medicine transactions. This matter."

"The teacher has already told me."

Sherman smiled.

"Starting today, the number of potions sold by the base will be doubled. I wonder if the Firefox Chamber of Commerce can handle it?"

"Of course no problem!" Mu Zhuo said firmly.

Just kidding, you have to force yourself to eat even if you can’t eat it.

Since the opening of the medicine trading route, the profits of the Firefox Chamber of Commerce have been soaring.

The potions sold at the base are extremely popular in the Principality of Jinghua and are in short supply.

The Firefox Chamber of Commerce, which monopolized this business, naturally made a lot of money.

Under such circumstances, Mu Zhuo certainly wouldn't let anyone else come in and share the spoils.

Not to mention that the Firefox Chamber of Commerce is large enough to handle twice the amount of potions. Even if it can't, it can still develop agents and transfer some of the potions to the agents for sale. The Chamber of Commerce can just extract the profits from it and still make a lot of money.

Anyone with a decent brain knows what to do.

"That's good. After all, it's quite troublesome to find another trustworthy business partner." Xie Man said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Mr. Sheman. We at the Firefox Chamber of Commerce can handle as many as you want!"

Mu Zhuo patted his chest and made a promise, then said carefully:

"A few days ago, I wrote back to Lord Sunan, and the letter mentioned the matter of acting as an agent for wizard potions. I wonder what Lord Sunan said?"

The wizard potion that Mu Zhuo was talking about was naturally not the diluted potion he had used before, but the real wizard potion.

Those diluted potions are rare treasures for ordinary knights, but their effects are less effective for great knights.

Only genuine undiluted wizard potions can arouse the interest of the Great Knight, develop this group of people into a customer base, and expand profits.

Xie Man smiled and said, "The teacher said that we can agree to your request, President Mu Zhuo, and provide a certain amount of zero-level potions to the Fire Fox Chamber of Commerce every month, but there are two conditions."

Mu Zhuo perked up and said quickly: "You go ahead!"

"The first is that these zero-level potions provided to the Firefox Chamber of Commerce cannot flow into the Principality of Stars. Once the potions we make are discovered in the Principality of Stars, no matter what the reason, the agency of zero-level potions will be terminated."

Mu Zhuo hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "No problem!"

As the president of a large chamber of commerce with tentacles in many countries, he has always been paying attention to the situation in various countries.

He also understood the current delicate relationship between the Shining Territory and the Starry Royal Family.

In the near future, a war might break out between the two sides. It is understandable that the Shining Leader does not want to aid the enemy at this time.

What Xieman asked for was not difficult to achieve, as long as the transaction objects were strictly controlled.

Anyway, the trade of wizard potions was originally intended to target high-end customers, which wouldn't be too many, so it could be done with a little more effort.

"The second condition is that for all transactions of zero-level potions, we only accept payment in gems of equal value."

Mu Zhuo was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and agreed without saying a word.

Although I was a little confused as to why I had to pay with gems, this condition was undoubtedly simpler than the previous one, so there was naturally no need to refuse.

"Then it's a pleasure to work with you, President Mu Zhuo."

"The next time we trade, we will send you the first batch of zero-level potions."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Sherman."

The main purpose of this trip was achieved, and Mu Zhuo was in a good mood. While shaking hands with Xie Man, he quietly handed over a small bag of gems.

Xie Man took a look at it, didn't refuse, and took it with a smile.

Right now the base is refining various golem puppets on a large scale, and the gems used to make soul cores are also in urgent need, otherwise the teacher would not have proposed the condition of paying with gems.

This small bag of gems is enough for him to make more than a dozen soul cores and earn some contribution points.

Two hours later, the two parties completed the handover of the goods.

After watching the caravan go away, Sherman ordered the clay golem to move the things back to the warehouse, and then left the base and headed for Magic Plant Garden No. 4. Magic Plant Garden No. 4 was newly opened three months ago. Today was the day when the first batch of magic plants matured, and he was going to collect them and bring them back to the base.

As more and more students learn to make zero-level potions, the base's demand for various basic materials is also increasing.

In view of this, the teacher opened two new magic plant gardens.

One is around the Glittering City, and the other is said to be in the underground world.

It is said that Magic Plant Garden No. 5 and No. 6 are now selecting locations and preparing to start construction.

Since joining the base, Sherman has seen all the changes in the base clearly. He can feel that the base is thriving and developing.

Perhaps in the near future, the base will be able to become the wizard tower mentioned in the books.

He hopes he can witness that day with his own eyes.

The underground world, Youhu City.

Central Palace, Study.

There is a faint fragrance floating in the quiet study, which is the scent of calming flower tea.

Su Nan sat in front of the desk, writing and drawing on the table with great concentration, with a cup of calming floral tea at hand.

Tea with tranquilizing flowers can calm the mind, improve concentration, and is beneficial for experimental research.

However, its more common use is to assist meditation. Among wizard apprentices, only Sunan, who has three magic gardens and two more under construction, can afford to use the tranquilizing flower to make tea.

After a long time, Sunan put down the quill pen, picked up the scented tea beside him and drank it all.

Putting down the teacup, he looked at the new design on the table, a satisfied smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

After several months of research, he finally designed a new puppet by combining the gem puppet and golem miniaturization technology.

The body, muscles, bones and internal organs of the new puppet are mainly made of diamonds, while the blood and tendons are replaced by mithril. The heart is made of high-level rune gems, supplemented by various rare metals and basic materials such as silver and gold.

The final puppet not only has an indestructible body, but also has the ability to control energy particles with the help of advanced rune gems.

In addition, multiple zero-ring, first-ring, and second-ring spells will be engraved in the body, giving it the ability to cast spells.

According to Sunan's idea, although the final puppet could not reach the level of a formal wizard, it was at least much more powerful than an ordinary third-level wizard apprentice.

People like Heb are no match for the new puppets!

“The only problem is cost.”

Although a lot of costs have been cut, the initial estimate for making such a puppet is that sixteen kilograms of mithril, thousands of standard diamonds, about twenty high-level rune gems, and a large amount of basic materials are required.

The most important thing is to have a small soul crystal as the soul core.
In the end, the total cost is at least 80,000 gold coins!

"Diamonds and high-level rune gems are easy to deal with. You can gather them if you are willing to spend some time. As for small soul crystals, you can use micro soul crystals to synthesize them. Twenty to thirty should be enough."

"The only problem is mithril."

Sunan now has a total of two silver mines, both of which contain a small amount of mithril.

However, both silver veins are small veins. Even if they are all mined, only eleven or twelve kilograms of mithril can be obtained.

He would have to collect the rest.

Sunan has announced his intention to acquire Mithril at the gathering in the jungle cabin, but he estimates that the effect will not be very good.

After all, mithril is a precious material that few wizard apprentices are willing to trade.

"If we can find one or two more silver mines, even small ones, we can collect enough mithril."

Su Nan sighed and picked up the list beside him.

This is the warehouse list written by Glee, which shows the flow of materials in and out this month.

The bulk of what flowed out were naturally various diluents.

Despite the huge profits from the mines, Sunan still did not give up the business of selling medicines, but expanded the scale instead.

After all, no one would complain about having too many ways to make money.

"Opening five magic plantations around Flash City is the limit. If there are more, they will affect each other and reduce the harvest."

"Youhu City has a special environment and is not suitable for growing magic plants. It is enough to open up a magic plant garden."

"If we want to open a new magic plantation, we have to find a place in other towns."

Jinyan Province has a vast area, and there are many places suitable for developing magic plant gardens.

The key is that if the new magic plantation is too far away from the base, troops will have to be sent to garrison there, which will require a large number of golems.

At this stage, most of the golems refined by Sunan and the base are thrown into the underground world, but even so there are still some gaps.

Moreover, the war with the Starry Royal Family will probably break out soon, and a batch of golems will also be needed to expand the golem army. For the time being, he does not have any extra golems to invest in the construction of a new magic garden far away from the Flashing City.

This plan has to be postponed temporarily.

Fortunately, the current magic plants are sufficient to supply the base and trade in medicines.

"Meow!"

A familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears. Sunan felt his shoulders sink. He turned around and saw Amy lying on his shoulder with a gray stone in her mouth.

The stone looks inconspicuous, but Sunan can feel very rich energy particles from it.

"This is... gray ground stone!"

Sunan took the stone and looked at it for a while, and quickly recognized its origin.

Strictly speaking, gray earth stone is an elemental crystal. It is a lens formed by the earth elements gathering together over many years. Most of them are buried deep underground and are difficult to be discovered.

"Where did you find it?" Su Nan looked at Amy in surprise.

"I dug it underground." Amy raised her head proudly. "When I was walking nearby, I found dense energy particles underground. I asked Carolina to help me dig it up, and then I found this thing."

Su Nan suddenly realized and remembered Amy's ability to sense the fluctuations of energy particles.

"How is it? Is this thing useful to you?" Amy looked at Su Nan expectantly.

"It works." Sunan nodded with a smile and touched Amy's head.

Graystone has many uses. It can be used to make potions, create magic items, refine puppets, and set up magic arrays. It is similar to magic stone.

"Meow, that's good."

Amy rubbed Su Nan's palm as if enjoying it.

"The underground world is much more interesting than the above world. If I find anything good, I'll give it to you."

The little guy seemed very excited and seemed to have found his place.

Su Nan burst out laughing.

He remembered how he had tricked Amy into going back to Glitter City with him.

At that time, I also had the idea of ​​using Amy's ability to sense energy particle fluctuations to find wizard heritage or rare materials, but later I was busy with many things and never had time to go out to explore. I didn't expect that I would hit the jackpot now.

It would be nice if Amy could find some rare materials in the underground world.
