Forget about the Dragon Hunting Ceremony, none of the kobolds in the entire quarry can enter.
Even in the Dragon-Seeking Meditation, only one-third barely entered, and most of them were relatively close to the place where Goss and Ji Peng died.
The foundation of those kobolds is so bad that some things that are taken for granted in the Dragon Oak Territory are very strenuous there, and dragon-seeking meditation is not one of them.
Before that, Goss would never believe that many kobolds could not enter the dragon-seeking meditation after being guided.
It's no wonder that Gavin simply left the group of kobolds to his full authority and didn't spend much energy on them.
A low starting point also has the advantage of a low starting point, so it is easy to be satisfied.
One-third of the kobolds entered the dragon-seeking meditation. Goss was filled with disappointment, but the kobolds in the quarry were all elated, especially those who had completed the short-term dragon-seeking meditation.
, waving his arms as thick as toothpicks and claiming that he felt the magic power of the dragon, and after feeling that his body became stronger, the kobolds looked at Goss differently.
His heart, which was originally a little lost, was once again filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Those kobolds are not that hopeless, so I just need food and nutrition to follow them. After a few months of rest and physical fitness, I should be able to start the dragon-seeking meditation one after another.
It's just like myself, the overall limit is lower, dragon blood can be turned on, and there are fewer kobolds transformed into dragons.
Just be willing to work hard. Even if you are an ordinary kobold, you can still create value for the territory, just like yourself. After all, there are not many kobolds like that.
Just when Goss was finishing up his ordinary kobold motivational education.
Gavin and the others had arrived at the Garden Forest in the sky. They had a clear goal and headed straight for it.
The kobolds who had previously defected to the Garden Forest did not deny that they had really defected. From beginning to end, they denied that Gai Wen was part of Ji Peng Butong's trap.
In his first life, he had suffered enough losses from fighting monsters in their lairs.
Whether they are carefully arranged by the enemy, the enemy has a home field advantage and can exert double or even more combat effectiveness.
Ji Peng is the kind of being that the strong men of Glory City dare not take the initiative to provoke at the door. The combat power displayed in the lair is as strong as that of himself in Mis Noel's Tower of Rule.
Multiplied exponentially.
Luring the enemy out, entering your carefully arranged battlefield, and killing them in one fell swoop is the wisest tactic.
In that case, Gavin took full advantage of everyone's preconceived notions.
Then the kobolds will be loyal to the dragon, and they can own the kobolds belonging to the east, purely by enslaving their legs.
In addition, it takes advantage of the differences in concepts between different races.
Kobolds are a race that takes pride in their work, especially after Gavin perfected the dragon oak collar's kobold reward system. Those kobolds are more motivated to work and do not need encouragement at all. They are more self-conscious than the other - each other.
There will also be supervision during the period.
But in the eyes of humans, Gavin was trying to squeeze those kobolds to the limit, and defecting was a matter of course.
The reason why Gavin staged a complete play and deceived even the locals in Amphail Village was because he was afraid that there were Ji Peng's spies among them.
That kind of worry is not unnecessary. Ji Peng is so easy to hook, and it has nothing to do with the mutual verification of the information provided by human informants.
Never mistreat the dragon as an unintelligent monster, let alone underestimate human greed.
There are numerous cases in Ferundo of colluding between one's own interests and those intelligent monsters, even denying the survival legs of some intelligent monsters.
The Sambian businessman colluded with the young red dragon to bring disaster to the East Road.
It is also true that Jipeng colluded with some racecourse owners in Amphail Village to harass their own competitors.
The leader, the kobold warlock named Kasar, is a special dragon-shaped kobold.
During the process of transforming into a dragon, he failed to obtain dragon wings.
This was originally a major flaw, but in that special latent espionage mission, it turned into an advantage.
He was not too eye-catching, and he also left a soul imprint on the mother dragon oak tree, which could provide Gavin with a locating guide, and he easily found the nest of Ji Peng.
They had been invited in as special VIPs and prisoners, and the gold coins they brought were sent to Ji Peng's Dragon's Nest treasury.
Although Ji Peng does not look like a dragon, he is actually a giant dragon and has the same hobbies as a giant dragon.
No, to be more precise, in terms of proving that he is not a dragon, Ji Peng did some things to the extreme, including searching for wealth and building his own dragon's nest treasure house, which he was more passionate about.
Being so close to the Glory City, even though he knew the danger was high, Ji Peng still lingered here, not simply coveting the inexhaustible food at the racecourse outside.
It was just a cover, but the real reason was that there was an abandoned underground castle of dwarves, and that castle was built on a silver mine, which was not mined cleanly.
Ji Peng's dragon lair was set up in the abandoned dwarf castle.
As he continued to go deeper, Gavin felt more and more that it was a wise choice for him to lure Ji Peng out from there and kill him.
The wild magic areas are also divided into levels, some are light and some are heavy, some are small and some are large.
If the wild index is not set at 100, the index of the wild magic area covering this place can reach at least 60 - if you use magic here, 60% will cause problems, and it will tend to be vicious.
That kind.
The closer you get to the Flying Dragon's nest, the more serious the situation becomes.
The effects are mutual. The wild magic area will enhance the power of the twisting spells of the Speedy Roc. In turn, the Speedy Roc will make the situation there more extreme, forming the so-called lair properties and lair power.
It was difficult for Gavin to determine whether the Immortal Vengeance Domain could suppress Ji Peng's twisted spell halo. After all, both of them belonged to the power of law. The initial resistance was due to which one had a higher priority and whose power was more powerful.
It didn't take much effort to control the Dragon Nest.
Because of the monster servants enslaved by the fast roc, the Lord requested no kobolds.
There is a flying roc head clearing the way in front, a young red dragon holding down the formation behind, and a kobold spy in the middle playing drums beside him.
Not even the shadow of the flying roc was summoned. Those kobolds who originally belonged to the flying roc bowed down and were captured by Gavin in minutes.
Another great characteristic of kobolds is that they owe allegiance to the living, victorious dragon.
This is related to the fact that dragons often fight with each other over property. The losing dragon gets nothing, the winning dragon gets all the property, and the kobolds are part of the property.
That characteristic is neither an advantage nor a disadvantage.
The advantage is naturally not when you are the winner and recruit other dragon and kobolds.
Disadvantage, otherwise that kind of thing will happen to you, especially if you fail in the battle with those powerful dragons, don't expect those kobolds to fight to the death for you.
Although Gavin has been trying to find ways to correct it, the effect is not particularly good - because many racial characteristics are mixed together, and when denying the disadvantages, the advantageous side may also be denied, and sometimes it appears that
The gain outweighs the loss.
Is it really difficult to find a way to get the best of both worlds?
Gavin, wearing battle armor and holding a golden sword, walked towards the dwarf throne that had been abandoned for who knows how long. He stepped on the head of Ji Peng while the young red dragon crouched on his side, watching eagerly.
He looked at the group of kobolds to the east, with an expression on his face as if he would beat the teeth of anyone who disobeyed them.
In fact, he has already done that.
A harpy kobold who is not too loyal to the fast roc, and a common kobold who is not trying to escape.
With the lessons learned from those two kobolds, all the kobolds in Chengdong are very obedient and obedient.
"Which one of us is the leader? Stand up and shut up." Gavin glanced back and forth among the harpies and kobolds with unique looks.
There are two types of kobolds here, one is an ordinary kobold, and the other is a harpy kobold.
Strictly speaking, those kind of harpy kobolds are also dragon-shaped kobolds. Since their dragon transformation comes from the flying roc, they will tend to be inclined to the flying roc regardless of their appearance or strength.
For example, they all have higher magic resistance than ordinary kobolds, so spells targeting them have a certain chance of being distorted, but the probability is very low.
But if there were such a group of kobolds surrounding him, the halo of Ji Peng's twisting spell would definitely be further strengthened.
They must be Ji Peng's cronies, and the high-ranking commander may be among them.
I pushed the harpy and kobolds, and he pushed me, hesitating and hesitant. For a long time, no one was willing to come out and claim them.
But Gai Wencuo didn't know anything about it, so he turned his head slightly and looked at the kobold spy on the other side, "Kasar."
The kobold spy stretched out his leg and pointed: "He, he brought them back, the gold coins they brought, and he led the people into the dragon's lair."
Cassar was not sure whether the harpy kobold he was referring to was the most powerful one there, but whether he could enter and exit the dragon's lair, and whether he was deeply trusted and had great autonomy.
Being directly named, the harpy kobold couldn't continue to be a tortoise, so he took a step forward and bowed to Gavin and said: "Aka has seen the Lord, because Lord Arada has never
There has never been a leader among them, so I didn’t know how to answer the lord’s question just now.”
Gavin also asked whether what the kobold said was true or not, and said directly: "It didn't happen before, but now it does. From now on, I will be the leader of the kobolds there, and all the kobolds must listen to my orders. If
If something went wrong, he would be the first to accuse me and help him introduce the situation in Yidong."
The harpy and dog-headed man's face showed excitement rather than bitterness. The kind of leader who was recruited was not so easy to be a leader. If he was not careful, he would be regarded as a chicken to scare the monkeys.
But in that case, he had the right to accept it, and he had no right to refuse. He bowed and saluted again: "I wonder what you want to know, sir?"
"Let's start with the origins there and the composition of our personnel. What races are there and how many people are there?" After all, you can't rely on the soldiers you have trained by yourself. You can't expect their level to be high. Gavin can do it bit by bit.
Squeeze toothpaste.
The harpy kobold named Aka had an online IQ, so he didn’t fully understand Gavin’s behavior. After listening to his first question, he had some direction, and he answered respectfully, “Then
An ancient dwarf castle has the same name as the forest, called Nankript. Whether the forest is named after it or not is unknown.
There is a huge silver mine to the east, which has been dug through the Sword Mountain Range and can lead directly to the other side.
Currently, they occupy a very small part of the south, and the other parts are occupied by other monsters. It is said that there is a powerful beholder inside.
Because the area they were in was in a wild magic area, the beholder and its servants were too restrained, so it never came.
Lord Arada never provokes them.
As for the number of personnel, they have never made detailed statistics, so I can give you a rough estimate."
"It is estimated that the data will be available." Gavin asked if he wanted to understand the general situation of this place. He would definitely send his own people to settle in to conduct detailed sorting and control.
"There are a total of three hundred dragon guards like him, and there are more than a thousand kobold silver miners. The number of servants such as hobgoblins and goblins fluctuates greatly. There should be two to three hundred." Harpy kobolds
replied.
For a dragon of Ji Peng's strength, the number of servants he has is relatively large.
Because they are the ones most likely to attract the prying eyes of those dragon slayers. They have certain treasures and their strength is not invincible.
Therefore, they generally do not set up a permanent dragon nest and gather too many monster servants. Even if they do not have any, most of them are elite and can move with them at any time.
Is it possible that Jipeng has so many kobold servants due to a series of comprehensive factors?
Firstly, was it covered by a wild magical area, and secondly, was it necessary for them to dig silver mines for themselves? In other words, those kobolds were the aborigines of Nankript. After he occupied the place, he took those kobolds under his command.
East.
While Gavin combined the information with his common sense, he continued to ask: "How much is the output of the silver mine? What is the valuation of the Dragon's Nest treasure?"
"The average monthly output of coarse silver bricks is about one ton. Even Lord Arada cannot tell the valuation of Dragon's Nest Treasure, because it is mainly composed of coarse silver bricks, and the quantity is no more than one hundred tons...
"
Gavin suddenly straightened up and said with a serious expression: "Am I sure it's rough silver bricks and not raw silver ore? We are proficient in the purification and casting process of silver ore?"
There are no ore veins of astonishing purity, but they often appear on the earth elemental plane.
In the material plane, most mineral veins contain various minerals mixed together and need to be purified.
If the silver content in the ore can reach more than ten percent, it is considered a rich ore.
That would explain why Gavin didn't show much excitement when he heard there was a silver mine there.
He has not mastered the technology of refining silver ore. Even if it can be mined on a large scale, he still can't make wedding dresses for others. He can only get a small amount of mining profits. When the time comes, he will have to divide his troops to protect it. Except for a short time, it will not be of much value.
But if it turns into a rough silver brick, its properties will be different.
This means that the initial smelting and purification has been completed, and the initial refining and casting are required before it becomes a silver coin. The silver content in it reaches 60% to 70%. Even without those impurities, most of them are other useful minerals.
"No, just rough silver bricks." Aka replied, "In that dwarf castle, there is an ancient silver smelting production line. They restarted it, so the production speed is very limited. The maximum per month is
It only produces about one ton.”
"Hey, take him to see it." Gavin's interest was completely aroused. He didn't expect that killing a Ji Peng would actually yield a huge amount of cash.
One hundred tons of rough silver bricks, even if it is calculated at the lowest purity of 60%, is equivalent to 60 tons of red silver. If it can be purified and made into silver coins, it is enough to mint two million pure silver coins, with a value equivalent to 20
Thousands of gold coins.
But red silver is not only used for currency, especially during the purification process of red silver, various impurities are produced, many precious metals belonging to red silver associated ores, mixed with gold and diamonds are not rare, and have commercial value.
Maybe higher.
To put it simply, if one hundred tons of rough silver bricks were not transported to Glory City, the market price would be at least 250,000 to 300,000.
"Two adults, please follow him." Aka respectfully led the way.
"How can we support our large population?" Gavin asked as he walked.
Wanting the dragon to buy things with money is basically a dream. Just listen to the number of rough silver bricks in the dragon's nest. After Jipeng occupied that city, 80% of the rough silver bricks produced were moved into the cave.
into his dragon's lair.
"The dwarves once opened a garden farm there, as if they were blessed by the gods. They only cultivated it and planted a small piece of land. The food grown was enough to meet their monthly needs." Aka answered.
He said, "When you arrive, don't go there."
As a huge stone door was pushed open, a terrifying heat wave hit the face, followed by a clanking sound of forging, and the sound of steam gushing. A group of strong kobolds with red scales were standing there.
Walking around a huge machine.
A majestic and incredible Didong lava silver smelting production line appeared in front of Gavin.
Seeing the situation in front of him, Gavin was not surprised, but showed an expression that was indeed true.
In Faerûn, there are not only industrial factories, but they are usually very cutting-edge ones. From the perspective of the earth, they are a bit unbelievable.
That kind of industrialization is like magic, with serious gaps, because it is not climbed up bit by bit through the overall technology tree, but a magic industry realized through magic.
Among them, the human Netheril Empire is not a model. Back then, they cut off the mountains and built the floating city upside down. It is still talked about by all the intelligent races in the continent. No one can surpass it, even if they are the only ones in the world.
The remaining orthodox continuation of the mage kingdom Halua only retains the construction method of the aerospace boat.
