Gnolls can't practice martial arts

Chapter 108 The Source of Magic Crystal

"Magic crystal bomb? Well, let me see how many gunpowder materials you have prepared." Kerr was very happy.

Goblin Weeks then took Kerr into a room inside. The floor of this room was covered with a layer of compact wooden boards, with some furs blocking the gaps, and most of the room was filled with black The powder looks like it should be toner.

At the same time, four young humans were grinding some charcoal with four simple stone mills, and there was a lot of charcoal piled up in the corner.

Seeing Kerr come in, the four humans quickly stopped their work and stood up to salute:

"Great Broken Tooth! Your wisdom guides us!"

Kerr was embarrassed, looked at these human beings who were blackened by toner, and said:

"You are very nice."

Then, Kerr turned to Weeks and said:
"These human apprentices who grind toner, you can find Wrynn and Libiao to recruit some more. They are all future technicians of the Broken Tooth Leader. Let them have enough remuneration and enough rest, and the treatment should be good."

Weeks nodded quickly:
"Yes, the great Broken Tooth, I will definitely do these jobs well." After the goblin said secretly, he would give these apprentices better treatment. He didn't understand the wisdom of the lord, but he listened to everything except the explosion. just fine.

Then, Kerr checked some other rooms. Since the first research project of Weeks' goblin laboratory was the magic crystal bomb, the entire laboratory was filled with related materials, among which saltpeter was the most, and The most dangerous thing, Weeks is clearly aware of this, so these saltpeters are scattered and stored outside the goblin laboratory, so as not to blow up the entire goblin laboratory in an explosion.

After reading it, Kerr said to Weeks:
"You did a good job. I will let the master craftsman Gost start organizing the blacksmiths in the town of Babel to cast the shell of the magic crystal bomb. However, I still can't get too many magic crystals. You just continue to stockpile these materials. , must pay attention to the storage of white ashlar, don't let it explode."

White alkalite, also known as saltpeter, was basically the explosive base for most primitive dynamites.

Just when Goblin Weeks was slightly disappointed, Sonans said:
"My lord, I know some news about magic crystals. In the forest to the east, there is a vein of magic crystals. However, this vein is controlled by elves. I have traded with them, but the number of purchases is limited by them.

"There is also the city of Luskan in the north. When I became a human, Adaan negotiated and often traded with the city of Luskan through the controlled humans. I bought a lot of food and a small amount of magic crystals. , but the number of magic power crystals in Luskan City is not large, and they all flowed out from other human cities further north."

Seeing Goblin Weeks' excited eyes again, Kerr nodded:

"Very good, as long as we know where we can get magic power crystals, it seems that we need to deal with the elves in the east, and hope to establish a good trade relationship with them, just like the trade with Naga.

"Sonans, what do you know about elves? How many are there? Are they strong?"

Sonans naturally understands why Kerr asked this question. If the elves are weak, they may not need to trade and directly occupy the magic crystal veins, but Sonans replied:

"My lord, those elves are very strong. They are good at magic and swordsmanship, and there are a lot of them. I don't know how many elves there are in the eastern forest, but the eastern forest is very large. There should be a powerful elf kingdom. , and the main elf god they believe in is also very powerful."

Kerr shrugged:

"Fortunately, we are quite rich, and we hope to be able to purchase their magic power crystals smoothly. By the way, how far is the nearest elf gathering place from the Red Dragon Fortress?"

Sonans recalled intently:
"It's very far away. It's about as far from the Red Dragon Fortress to the town of Babel Tower? I'm not sure. It should take five or six days. If it's a slow caravan, it may take more than ten days."

Kerr thought for a while, then said:

"If it's so far away, we can only act after the Red Dragon Fortress is fully completed. At that time, we can clean up all the wilderness between the business road and the elf territory, and expand it into a part of our Broken Tooth Territory, until the Broken Teeth Territory and the Elven Kingdom. border, and then trade with them, but I still can't think of what material needs these elves have, or that they only need gold coins to trade with them."

Sonans replied slightly uncertainly:

"According to the widespread legend, the elves admire the pure beauty of nature, and they oppose the destruction of nature, especially the elf druids. This may be the reason why they only mine a small amount of magic crystal veins. They believe that excessive mining will destroy the stability of the forest. I was also very lucky before, as a kind human mage, I had a small amount of trade with them."

Kerr blinked:

"Then it will be difficult. I hope that the magic crystal vein is on the outskirts of the elf territory."

Without saying anything more, Kerr took Sonans and left the goblin laboratory, but just after he came out, Kerr saw a lot of kobolds surrounding the red dragon player, and he didn't know what they were doing. People naturally worship dragons, Kerr didn't say anything, he just beckoned the red dragon to fly over, and then Kerr rode the red dragon and Sonans away.

Across the swamp, the red dragon flew towards the southwest dam. Above the swamp, Kerr looked down at a large number of scattered murlocs in the swamp. On the high ground above the water, there are still many murlocs resting, and those are their residences.

It didn't take long for Kerr and Sonans to come to the dam, and soon found Lich Anna.

"Miss Anna, this is Sonans, he is no longer a two-headed ogre." Kerr introduced with a smile.

Sonans greeted the Lich with a little embarrassment, but the Lich Anna asked:

"Sonans, you told me at the beginning that those magic power cores are 20 gold coins each, and the Mithril hub is [-] one. The lord said you lied to me. What is the price?"

Sonans was even more embarrassed, and replied falteringly:

"Well, Anna, you have to know that it is dangerous for me to go to Luskan City or Beidas City to order magic cores when I become a human being. Raising the price is my risk cost.

"By the way, I told the lord that the teleportation circles you built can be improved, and the teleportation area and height can be enlarged, so that it can be used by ogre leaders who are more than four meters tall. Otherwise, according to The volume of these big guys can only be sent one at a time."

Kerr watched from the sidelines, smiling silently. Lich Anna's iron mirror puppet did not let Sonans go easily. He is also a legendary mage and a member of the Broken Tooth Clan. The Lich is not afraid to outshine her. Stronger Sonans.
