Shameless Warlock

The difficulty of subduing the ratman tribe was much easier than Xu Nan imagined, but there were many variables in the process.

Zura's death has reduced a lot of resistance for him, but it has also brought new challenges.

The latent gaze of the blood-stained god gave him some pressure, and he began to think whether it was the right choice to place the unknown city here; although this evil god had long since lost much ability to struggle, the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, In case the Blood God's condition is better than Pierre estimated, it may cause a catastrophe to the unknown city!

But after some analysis and thinking, Xu Nan finally did not choose to avoid danger.

It's not that he is brave, but because the general world is full of crises!

The Northern Continent has already been regarded as a relatively neglected territory by the gods, but it is still constrained by the kingdom of the heavens everywhere; even in a country like Wildfire City, there are many lurking pawns of the church, and as Stephen Sang and Paradise Lost, they enter the main material world Compared with the evil gods, the gods of the heavens are the existence that Xu Nan needs to beware of the most.

The current location of the unknown city is actually a relatively stable reef amidst many turbulent currents and whirlpools.

Just point to a direction: go north, that is the border where the general world merges with Elphalia. Not only are there many angels, angels, and chosen people stationed there, but it is also normal to hide a few holy gods of heavenly gods; Going to the south is the core area of ​​the Eastern Kingdom. Since the decline of Caesar's blood, the rise and fall of the Northern Continent's dynasty has been accompanied by traces of the support of the gods. The name is enough to frighten Xiao Xiao, but troubles are inevitable.

What Xu Nan and Unknown City now need is time to develop, and he doesn't want to waste any energy on arguing with the church of the gods and secular forces.

And the underground world is full of thunder, and if you go deeper, it is the territory of the ancient gods. Although the ancient gods sleep more soundly than the blood gods, their spokespersons are more ferocious than each other, far from being the ancient gods. The castellan can now be provoked.

Calculated in this way, the area of ​​Wildfire City is really simple and simple in the Northern Continent. After all, everything needs to be compared with the same kind.

No way, who let the main material world of the general world hide dragons and crouching tigers, just hit a goblin, maybe the ancestors have dragon veins...

Xu Nan laughed at himself and put those less likely worries behind him.

After Zula's death, he successfully won the allegiance of the Itka rat people, and through some simple means, he included them in the daily residents of the unknown city-this behavior is said to have caused some disturbances among the icelanders, But it soon subsided.

After all, the unknown city has always been a diverse city. Before the people of the ice field moved in, they were given many vaccinations; The seven Tauren warriors are the most eye-catching, and of course, the heroic Elephant Guards are no exception; when you go to the streets in the middle of the night, you can see the white-clothed resentful lady leading the newly born undead in the cemetery to familiarize themselves with the terrain and route; As for the workaholic dwarves in the plantation, they even got along with the people of the ice field.

With these different races as a precedent, the appearance of the Rat People only caused a temporary commotion.

The only thing that dissatisfied the Icefield people was that they felt that the city lord was too partial to the Itka rats.

As the main force of the miners, the Icelanders are only allowed to open up residences in the outer city. If they want to live in the inner city, they must accumulate a high enough contribution or pay a sky-high price of Dengyun coins—of course there is an additional way, that is, to accumulate military exploits. But the current unknown city has not yet waged a war with the outside world—in this case, the rat people can directly live in the park with the new super alchemy factory concept!

In this regard, Xu Nan didn't say much, time is enough to prove everything, in his eyes, the value of these rat people is indeed much higher than that of ordinary people in the ice field.

The racial talent of the Icelanders is really mediocre, with a large population and good reproductive ability—but compared with the dwarves, this is the same. The dwarves of the unknown city have performed very well since they found the value of life in the plantation. Compared with the construction of the dungeon and mining, Xu Nan found that they are better at farming. The creatures of the rest of the races were ashamed.

Xu Nan thought about it, the dwarves probably have in their blood the deep ancestral precept that if they don't have enough food, they will become food themselves, so when they encounter a project that can easily produce a large amount of food, they will devote themselves to work like never before enthusiasm.

The current dwarf tribe not only reproduces beyond expectations, but their output in the plantation is also amazing. With the advanced earth technology such as hybrid rice, the dwarf tribe with no more than 1,000 people can already contribute nearly 10,000 rations supplied.

And after the completion of Unknown City 2.0, Xu Nan also gave the dwarves the same treatment and status as the Icefield people, which made the grateful dwarves become the tap water of the benevolent word-of-mouth publicity of the city lord, to a certain extent It also provided a good foundation for the security and stability of the unknown city.

As for the newly settled Itka Ratman Tribe, the reason why they get such preferential treatment is actually because of their extraordinary magical talents!

Through previous observations, Xu Nan had long determined that this ratman tribe possessed rare magical talents under the radiation of the emerald mines for many years; and the previous group evolution under the guidance of Zula was only a small improvement on these talents. Just play, they have greater potential hidden.

Rat people love adventures, but they are also curious about exploring the truth. What Xu Nan wants is to stimulate the exploration of the rat people. His real purpose is to cultivate a group of practical and capable alchemy confidantes.

According to Liuhuo's calculations, the Itka ratmen are super sensitive to magic, but limited to their racial talents, there are still many bottlenecks in their desire to become super mages, at least a lot worse than the standard of the Arcane Empire; The alchemist, but more than enough.

At least in the short term, these ratmen will provide Xu Nan with initial alchemy support.

For this reason, he deliberately opened the alchemy workshop where he had been working alone before, and bought a lot of elementary and intermediate alchemy knowledge from Paradise Lost for the rat people to learn for free.

After Xu Nan's propaganda and temptation, at least more than 80% of the Ratmen are willing to become the exclusive contracted alchemist of the city lord, and start to study and work in alchemy in the alchemy workshop.

Although at present, these rat people have not been able to form an effective alchemy to make money, but their learning progress is really amazing. It is only a little weaker than Xu Nan, who can master alchemy only by knocking blood fruits. ——The most powerful example is that not long after a few adolescent rat people entered the alchemy workshop, they fiddled with a batch of more durable inflatable puppets... Of course, in terms of aesthetics, Xu Nan disagrees, after all There are racial differences.

According to Xu Nan's plan, these ratmen will soon become the backbone of the Alchemy Industrial Park in Unknown City.

He needs this group of strength very much. After all, with the rapid expansion of the mine, the first batch of high-purity gold and silver ores that have undergone preliminary sorting have begun to be continuously transported to the warehouse of the unknown city.

The quality of these gold and silver ores is very good, and they can be smelted into real gold and silver only after the necessary assembly line procedures; To keep up, production capacity is not a problem.

At present, Xu Nan just asks professionals to organize a group of ice field artisans to carry out experimental refining. The effect seems to be mediocre. They cannot quickly use the equipment on the boarding cloud ship to correctly refine the ore, even if Liuhuo provides all-round The operation manual and the progress are also delayed.

It can be seen that the savvy of the icelanders is relatively poor. At least in the short term, the icelanders who have not received a lot of training are more suitable for miners rather than technical jobs in alchemy factories.

Xu Nan felt a little headache about this.

These ores are of high quality, but after the lack of processing capacity of the unknown city was exposed, their whereabouts became a problem: Xu Nan did not want to sell these ores cheaply to Lost Paradise or Stephen Sang, he knew very well that selling Primitive energy can only make a small profit at best.

So even under the pressure of increased inventory, rising labor costs, and the unprofitable alchemy system of the unknown city, Xu Nan is still trying various ore processing methods.

...

How did your Arcane Empire deal with metal ore before?

In the office, the city lord, who was bent over by a lot of documents, reached out to grab the mug, but found that the coffee in the mug had dried up, so he could only helplessly wave to the elephant man at the door.

However, the Elephant Guard who was appointed by Xu Nan as his personal assistant was obviously unresponsive, and he didn't realize what Xu Nan wanted for a long time, which made Xu Nan couldn't help but sigh.

If it wasn't for the sake of keeping it secret, he wouldn't have chosen an elephant man as his office assistant!

Fortunately, Liuhuo answered Xu Nan's troubles in a timely manner:

Arcane Empire doesn't deal with base metal ores.

These are usually handled by the affiliated forces of the empire, and then flow into the empire in the form of taxes and tribute...

Xu Nan could only hehe.

Decaying Arcane Empire!

I really want to try this decadent taste!

What I mean is, what kind of race are those subordinate forces usually? What kind of magic industrial civilization level do they have?

Xu Nan knocked on the table.

Liuhuo thought for a while, and quickly replied:

The extraction of raw ore is very simple, and the problem of pollution is eliminated. Some small factories can provide such a business; but if you want to process the metal ore perfectly and properly, I still remember that Akennoxilong is the best.

Aiken Noxilon?

Xu Nan froze for a moment, and after a simple blood knowledge search, the surprise on his face turned into a wry smile.

It turned out that the so-called Aikennuo Xilong was a member of the Aikenuo dragon family.

The giant dragon family has a long history in the multiverse. Whether it is human beings, dwarves, or other races, there are often shadows of giant dragons.

These creatures with huge bodies and extraordinary strength occupy the high level of the biological chain of the multiverse.

But there are different opinions about the origin of the dragon, and even Stephen Sand's wise scholars cannot come up with a conclusion that satisfies everyone.

After all, since the development of the general world, countless worlds have been merged and annexed, and it has already undergone tremendous changes from its original original form.

According to the knowledge provided by Paradise Lost, the giant dragons in the general world can generally be planned into three systems: the Dragon Island system, the Akenor system, and the Duraier system.

The Dragon Island system is almost the original profession among professionals, but all the giant dragon forms that exist in Dragon Island are the masterpieces of Lannis at the beginning of creation; Breed everywhere. The bronze dragon vest sleeping on Xu Nan's neck is the representative of the Dragon Island system.

Dragon Island is a rare place in the general world that is indisputable. It is said that it hides a huge secret at the beginning of the creation. The guardian of the restricted eternal dragon, and some strange traces of the ancient race.

The wife of the Lion King is a descendant of many ancient races on Long Island. She is powerful, and Xu Nan has seen it before. God coveted Long Island so much, but he didn't dare to do it.

If Dragon Island symbolizes the native native species of the general world, then the two giant dragon systems of Akenor and Duraier represent the integration of foreign dragons into this world.

These two dragon clans were once the kings of other worlds, but their worlds were swallowed up by the general gods, and they could only be integrated into the general world in the end. Their number is very rare, compared to the native species, it is pitifully small.

Among them, the giant dragons of Akenor are even more miserable. They were annexed by the gods, and they were looted by the arcane empire led by the first wizard king.

For a while, the most popular delicacy in the Arcane Empire was cooked with the flesh and blood of the Akenor dragon.

...

There is no killing without buying and selling!

Thinking of this, Xu Nan suddenly trembled.

He always felt that the Akenor dragon looked familiar, and he would not remember it for a while; but at this moment, he looked at the detailed cooking process of the Akenor dragon provided by the blood knowledge, and he suddenly had some clues.

He flipped through the bloodline knowledge to the appendix on the last page. Appendix 4 contained various cooking recipes of the Akenor dragon.

Among them, there is a page with the latest refresh, which was obviously attached recently, and it says:

[...After the above process is completed, it can be served on the table. However, the essence is that the flavor is the best when the Laoganma spicy sauce produced on the earth plane is used as an auxiliary ingredient...]

The annotator was obviously Romang.

I said how familiar I am. The first time I went to the teacher's house as a guest, the dragon that Mr. and Mrs. Smith caught was the Akenor dragon!

Xu Nan slapped his head.

The Akenor Thiron is a branch of the Akenor Dragon. It is weak, but it is a natural ore processor.

They feed on all kinds of metal minerals, but they have unmatched stomachs. After digestion and absorption, they can excrete a large amount of metals with a very high degree of refining, and only a small part can be absorbed by them. It can be said that they are cows in the dragon world. !

The daily throughput of each Aikennoxilon is astonishing. With the current metal inventory in Unknown City, two Aikenoxirons are enough to meet the daily needs.

The question is, where can I get two Xilongs to work for myself?

Just at this time, a message from Paradise Lost made City Lord Xu smile:

【Mr. Luo Mang came back from his honeymoon, he is in a good mood, he can come to visit. 】

The inscription is naturally Mr. Smith, whom Xu Nan has respected for a long time.

Without saying a word, he directly left the Unknown City and entered the Lost Paradise with the gift and filial piety he had prepared long ago.
