Chapter 184

The open space in the forest sea is like an oasis in the desert. The warm sun shines directly on the forest land, and many low plants can flourish. The bright sunshine and clear streams interweave weeds, shrubs, colorful flowers and dancing butterflies, making this forest open space like a fairyland, attracting many small animals to play and look for food.

The Warhammer mercenary regiment stood in the forest clearing and enjoyed the long lost sunshine. They trekked in the humid and dark forest for more than ten days, and mushrooms were about to grow on their bodies.

Hammer looked up at the clouds in the sky. He always felt unreal.

This forest clearing is not a natural formation, but a masterpiece of the goblin tribe. Goblins and gophers cut down trees around the stream, dig out roots, and then move the wood to a dark place to decay slowly. Worms and termites bred from rotten wood are snacks for goblins, and the forest clearing has become a trap for goblins to hunt small animals.

In addition to this forest clearing, goblins also built a large-scale camp with living pits, crude iron workshops, mushroom plantations, storage rooms, and spiked traps and rope sets. The goblin camp has all kinds of production, living and defense facilities. After they saw the hammer, they had a new understanding of goblins.

However, in only three days, the goblin tribe was finished. The simplicity of the process was unbelievable.

Hammer believes that it is not impossible to defeat this goblin tribe with the strength of the Warhammer mercenary regiment, but there will be casualties. Hammer they asked the opinions of the bull, but the bull told hammer that he had a way to kill the goblin tribe, but he needed to make some preparations.

The Warhammer mercenary regiment stopped outside the goblin tribe. Five elite soldiers left the team. Two days later, they returned to the camp with many herbs. It took another day. Manniu took people to make many fist sized medicine balls with these herbs supplemented by honey and crude sugar.

At night, several monkey militia hid in the dark and shot the medicine ball into the goblin camp with a special throwing bow. Suddenly, the goblins were startled by an unknown attack. The big goblin leader sent many goblins and dog headed people to search for the enemy hidden in the dark, but found nothing. Goblins soon found that the "weapons" thrown by the enemy were delicious food. They scrambled to rob each other. When the big goblin leader reacted, many "weapons" had entered the stomach of ordinary goblins and dog headed people. The goblin leader collected the remaining "weapons" but did not eat them.

The next day, the goblin leader found that the Goblins who ate the "weapons" had nothing to do. Finally, he was relieved to eat these delicious "weapons" and gave a lot to bear goblins. After eating these delicious foods, bear goblins soon fell into a frenzy. Mad bear goblins frantically attacked all moving objects around them. They took the lead in killing the big goblin leader, and then fought with each other. Those ordinary goblins and dog headed miners dispersed in a crowd and soon ran away without a trace. When the alchemy militia killed the scarred bear goblins one by one, no living goblins could be seen in the goblin camp.

Finally, the hammer took the team to rest in the forest clearing opened by the goblins, while the alchemical militia went to clean the goblin camp and search for booty. Until now, the hammer is still a little inexplicable.

"Hammer, what a surprise! What a surprise! Goblins have such good things."

Fermi ran excitedly and quietly handed the hammer a white crystal.

"White crystal! How many?" The hammer whispered.

White crystal is often used by priests to perform healing magic. No one knows the principle, but white crystal is undoubtedly an important strategic material. If a white crystal mine is found in the territory, the church will pay the Lord the mining fee at the price of one silver sol per crystal. Almost all the white crystal mines in the human kingdom are controlled by the church.

The church expressly stipulates that the healing magic can only be used on the army and paladins against monsters. If civilians or nobles want to receive the healing magic, they must provide white crystals to the clergy. The church also sells white crystals at the price of 400 gold sols each. Therefore, the price of white crystal is 400 gold sol.

"13, set on two chairs... Maybe the throne? Who knows, it looks very ugly anyway." Fermi smacked his mouth and continued, "there are still a lot of iron ingots. Maybe they can be called iron ingots... There are all kinds of shapes. Unfortunately, the quantity is too large for us to take away."

Hammer didn't hear what Fermi said behind him. He was still calculating how much 13 white crystals could be worth? After a long time of calculation, I didn't work out the result, but I thought of another problem.

"Is there a white crystal mine here?"

Fermi nodded and said, "the dog headed man dug two big mines. Kidd led people to explore. The bull and I took some booty to wedge and them."

Merchants rummaged around the seized booty, sometimes exclaimed and sighed, sometimes shook their heads and disdained. These materials were either worthless, and the valuable ones were ruined by goblins.

Fat wedge saw a lump of rhizome covered with soil. His eyes brightened, he quickly pulled it over, looked at it carefully for a moment, and shouted, "fertorin Kui root!"

"Let me see! Let me see!"

"Don't squeeze! Don't squeeze! Show me first."

"Hum, you see? Do you understand? Boss Vicky, identify it for me!"

A free businessman specializing in herbal medicine business stretched out his hand to fat wedge, but fat wedge held the roots covered with soil tightly in his arms, pushed the hammer away from the crowd and asked, "what's the matter?"

"This is fertorin kuigan! I saw it once when I was a child. I can't make a mistake!" Cried wedge.

The hammer grabbed the humble sunflower root, weighed it, and asked, "what is this thing for? Is it very valuable?"

"I heard that sunflower root is a specialty in the dusk forest, but I didn't expect it to be found in the dark forest. Sunflower root is for the noble master, and I don't know what use it is. I only know that the noble master will buy sunflower root at a high price. In the eastern provinces, the purchase price of sunflower root is 3 gold sol per ounce! This piece is almost 20 ounces, worth 60 gold sol." After explaining, Vicky asked hurriedly, "how many sunflower roots did you find?"

Fermi touched the back of his head and said, "there's a lot. There's no number."

"That arrow didn't hurt in vain. It earned, earned."

Vicky muttered to himself, while Dodge, a businessman, shouted, "there must be more nearby! We should stay here and dig out all the sunflower roots before we go!"

Hammer and Fermi are very excited. Although Kui root is valuable, it can't compare with white crystal. Since there is white crystal in the goblin camp, there must be a white crystal mine nearby. If you can dig some more, it would be best. The hammer pulled the bull aside and asked quietly, "bull, are we in danger if we stay here?"

"Yes!"

"What's the danger?"

"Before long, goblins will come back. There are too many of them. We can't protect everyone." The bull said honestly.

The hammer suddenly became nervous and asked, "haven't the big goblins and bear goblins been killed? Are there other goblin tribes nearby?"

The bull replied, "the big goblins and bear goblins have been killed. The goblin tribe has not died out. New big goblins and bear goblins will soon appear among those ordinary goblins."

"Why?" Asked the hammer curiously.

"As long as ordinary goblins have plenty of food and keep thinking, they will evolve into big goblins. The goblins will attract a group of strong goblins as bodyguards. These bodyguard goblins have plenty of food and don't need to think. As long as they fight, they will soon become bear goblins."

The hammer was stunned for a moment before he said, "this is how the big goblins and bear goblins came." He asked reluctantly, "can't you make the bear goblin crazy again in that way?"

"No. the goblins are very smart. The goblins of this tribe will not be fooled again." Pretty cow shook his head.

The hammer shook his head regretfully and said, "I see. When the brother who surveyed the mine comes back, we'll start on the road."

Hammer doesn't know that Kui root and white crystal are not important to the alchemy militia. Victor's task is the most important. Deep in the forest, three alchemy militia are burying a piece of metal deep underground. The metal sheet is black, with runes on it. It is a fragment of a giant sword. The goblin leader didn't know where to dig this fragment and put it on a stick as a spear tip. As a result, he was killed.

After burying the fragments, the alchemy militia took out a thin linen letterhead and wrote in Chinese characters: Thirteen kilometers away from the northwest corner of the dark forest, they found the fragments of a class I standard weapon of the Empire, sarong steel one handed Rune giant sword. Then the alchemy militia wrote the story.

The letterhead was tied around the neck of the alchemical crow. The alchemy crow flapped its wings, circled in the air and flew straight to the alchemy tower.

——————————————————

Lilia walked leisurely on the wide and tidy road of Hekou village, followed by several guards and maids. Wherever she went, the villagers saluted her one after another, and Lilia just glanced faintly at her. Who would have thought that this beautiful and elegant lady was a lively and beautiful mercenary girl a year ago.

Looking at the neat and beautiful houses in Hekou village and the heartfelt smiles of the villagers, Lilia was in a trance.

Unknowingly, it is the second month of the fire season. The wheat seedlings in the fields are growing very vigorously, and the sweet potatoes and vines are connected together. They are green and very gratifying. From the smile on the villagers' faces, we can see that there will be a bumper harvest this year.

So far, Randall's population has exceeded 5000. The fence of Hekou village has been removed and the houses have been expanded again and again. The area of the village has almost reached the size of a small town, but it is still difficult to accommodate more and more people. Not long ago, Lilia had just given the order to build a fourth village.

Randall led more people, the villagers were very happy, the farm work became easier, and the bachelor also found a partner. The village leaders are very happy. Before long, they will all be village leaders worthy of the name. Nelson was pleased that the convoy was expanded from 150 to 240. Linda is also very happy. The construction led by the Lord has changed with each passing day. She has built a village, a logging farm, planted 5000 mu of sweet potatoes and raised 800 small wild boars. Everyone was happy, except Lilia.

The villagers' houses are easy to solve. Lilia is worried about the villagers' rations. According to Victor's plan, the wheat led by Randall in the past two years will be used as seeds and can't be eaten. If the population continues to grow, someone will always go out to steal and hunt. However, every 20 days, convoys full of grain arrive at Hekou village. These grains are brought in from chebman. Although they are old grains that cannot be planted, they are enough to fill the stomachs of the villagers.

Lilia knew that Victor had a lot to tell her. For example, the secret trade between Randall and chebman, and Victor forbids anyone from approaching the hill camp. Lilia didn't ask Victor to prove these things. She learned a truth in Rose Manor: the Lord can't leave everything to one person. Lilia just secretly decided to expand the potato planting area, which is what she should do.

A beautiful chapel was built on the square of Hekou village. There was no priest in it. Victor built it for father Miller. Lilia met father Miller. He was in his fifties, with wrinkles on his face, calluses on his hands, and obedient in words and deeds. If it weren't for his priest's uniform, Lilia thought father Miller was an honest farmer. Victor personally invited father Miller to preach in Hekou village, built a chapel for him, and donated 5 wild boars to father Miller for charity every month.

Although father Miller did not have the style of father, he was kind to people and treated the villagers free of charge. Once, a villager accidentally broke his spine while repairing his house. Father Miller used magic to cure him on the spot. Since then, the civilians led by Randall have been in awe of father Miller. Lilia also made a great change to the old priest who was not amazing.

Lilia was dissatisfied that Victor rarely returned to the manor in the past two months. He spent most of his time in Nicole's territory. Although she knew that Victor was busy building an artificial reservoir, Lilia would purr her mouth every time she thought of it.

At this time, Victor did not stay with Nicole, but in the alchemy tower of the hill camp.

Victor took the letter brought back by the alchemical crow and preached to the king: "King, I have consulted the alchemy auxiliary soldiers. The Samo steel one handed Rune giant sword is a standard weapon used by Alchemy units. The alchemy auxiliary soldiers can only make sword embryos, and the later process should be completed by alchemists. Although I don't know why there are weapon fragments of the alchemy empire in the dark forest, I will definitely send someone to search the site of the alchemy tower. Now, I have two questions for you."

"Excuse me, sir." The king replied.

"First, suppose there is a rune crystal of the alchemy tower. Can I complete the production function of the alchemy dragon lizard when I get it back?"

"Second, suppose there is an alchemy tower producing combat units, can I activate it with you?"
