"What do you want to do?" Qiong Xi and others were shocked. Why did this guy suddenly say that he wanted to go back the same way?
"Of course we have to go back and prepare some chips. If we go to the top of the Elf clan like this, it will be difficult to gain anything substantial." Shen Chen said with a confident smile, then he looked at Shulong beside him and asked: "Looks like Lanshui Town Is it an important foundry town?”
"Yes, because this is the junction of the large-scale dwarf territory and the elven territory, and there is the second largest mineral vein in the Kingdom of Nature nearby. The geographical location is special, so this is also the second largest casting town in the Kingdom of God. Once there is a war, This will become one of the main places for mass production of weapons." Shulong was startled, and then said truthfully.
"Well, let's go back then." Shen Chen nodded. In the town before, he had seen many large-scale foundry workshops, with dwarves and elves in large numbers, and heard some rumors.
Immediately, this black business group changed direction and rushed back to Blue Water Town.
Although the young men who had done the job were confused, they didn't say much. They just followed the boss. Anyway, one more trip would give them an extra day or two of wages.
"I'm very surprised. The dwarf territory is at the junction of the elven territory. How come this place has become a major casting town?" Qiong Xi asked in confusion along the way.
"It's very simple. Dwarves are proficient in casting, and elves are proficient in engraving divine patterns. The combination of the two can produce weapons with divine energy as quickly and with the highest quality." Nishizawa said with a smile. This situation has long existed in the big forest. Everyone knows this.
Qiong Xi blinked her big eyes and vaguely guessed what this guy wanted to do. He wanted to get a large number of weapons and equipment to do business with the elf high-level officials.
This idea is really speechless. He is really so sinister. He just heard the signs of war and wanted to use this to increase his own worth.
"Green girl, don't stare at me with that look. Think on the bright side in everything. If I do this now, maybe it will be helpful to the elves and the Kingdom of Nature after the war begins." Shen Chen said casually. He smiled, looking confident.
Since the last time he collected a large number of blueprints and alchemy books in Moro City, Ancient Mirror has not stopped exploring these things.
The ancient mirror possesses the original power of the Five Elements, and is inherently a terrifying existence in this regard. Coupled with the accumulation of different civilizations in the two planes, it naturally has unique conditions.
Before making this decision, Shen Chen also consulted Gu Jing, who assured that he could design several pretty good weapons for him, and what Shen Chen focused on was missing arrows.
Two days later, the black business group returned to Lanshui Town. Shen Chen sent out those helpers to contact the town's masters of divine inscriptions and excellent casters.
Gu Jing stayed in the inn to think about a new magic arrow plan for him, while Shen Chen himself took Qiong Xi, Xize, and Amu to the major mining and gold shops in the town to purchase materials.
"How do I feel that your intention is not just to create a batch of powerful magic arrows?" Qiong Xi said suspiciously.
"Well, there are actually not many types of materials for making arrowheads." Shen Chen smiled lightly.
"You don't want to hoard, do you?" Qiong Xi was startled, and Amu and Xize were also stunned. This guy's idea is really bold.
He actually wanted to collect the materials in the town that were suitable for making arrows before the war was finalized. In this way, no matter whether the arrows he made were surprising enough, the elves who were short of resources might be Take those things of his very seriously.
"It would be a pity if you don't become a profiteer." Qiong Xi curled her lips and said.
Caesar said worriedly: "Although Blue Water Town is one of the most important casting towns in the Kingdom of God, there are more important casting towns in the Kingdom of God than just Blue Water Town. Will the elves find another way when the time comes?"
"Those proud creatures are not easily intimidated by others." Amu also reminded.
This idea is very bold, but whether it can come true is full of too many variables.
"You are right, but you must know that if there is really a threat from the God War Continent, then the forest warriors in this area will be the main force, and the elves here will be the absolute protagonists of the main force. , it is unrealistic for them to mobilize war resources in more distant places in a short period of time."
Shen Chen shook his head and smiled: "Also, I don't fully expect to rely on monopoly to make the elves submit. The key is to see the power of the arrows exceed the highest level they can create."
"How is this possible?" Xizawa exclaimed, "In the past, if there was a war, the elves would mainly come to Blue Water Town to order missing arrows. Most of the forging masters and inscription masters here have long-term cooperation with them. Now Brother Shen, you Inviting the people here to start work, even if they try their best, it will be difficult to surpass the weapons provided to the elves in the past."
"What Brother Nishizawa said is true. I have also heard that the elves who are best at using arrows have their own unique arrow forging plan. When necessary, they will send talented people from the clan to coordinate with those in the town. The casters and inscription masters are starting work. Logically speaking, these people in the town can't even reach the long-term arrow loss level set by the elves." Amu also nodded, fearing that Brother Shen's work would be in vain.
Shen Chen smiled and said nothing. In this regard, he naturally had absolute confidence in the ancient mirror.
Qiong Xi knew the inside story and was naturally moved. The ancient mirror was said to be able to transform the treasures brought from the past planes for them. In this regard, it seemed that it was definitely outstanding.
In fact, Qiong Xi still doesn't know that in this regard, the ancient mirror has already had a miraculous touch. Shen Chen's first divine forbidden weapon, as well as the subsequent restoration of the god refining diagram, and even the transformation of the Nine Heavens Immortal Qin, the ancient mirror All play extremely important roles.
Those handicrafts, I am afraid that no alchemist and caster can compare with them. Moreover, the fusion of the two planes should be able to create something unique that is difficult to imitate for the elves and even the entire god world. This is his biggest advantage currently.
Originally, Shen Chen planned to use some of Shen Chen's treasures to seek treatment from the elves and then obtain the divine spring water, but he also realized that doing so might be too costly and might not be successful.
So after learning about the signs of war, he suddenly thought of this countermeasure. If it could go smoothly, he would even be able to take the initiative in negotiations with the elves in the future...
After arriving at the first gold mining store, Shen Chen was not in a hurry to buy anything. Instead, he asked the boss about the sales of similar goods in Blue Water Town when the war broke out in the past.
This is very important. Shen Chen needs to evaluate the overall volume and its approximate range to see if he can swallow it.
Although the shop owner didn't know why he asked these questions, he heard that he would be discussing a large order later, so he was patient and said with a smile: "Generally speaking, the specific arrows of the elves require most of the casting arrows." The cost of the materials is higher than the highest level of mass-produced arrows in town, generally around 10 god walls, while the latter costs about 8 god walls."
Shen Chen nodded secretly. The kind of magic arrows Feng Yue got were definitely impossible to mass-produce. They were no longer ordinary arrows, but powerful secondary weapons that could be used infinitely. It was not the same thing.
As for ordinary lost arrows, although they also have divine power, and elves who are proficient in this can also have a certain recovery rate on the battlefield, they are still very costly, because when encountering a strong enemy, the divine power of lost arrows needs to be recovered at once. Release it. In that case, if the arrow is lost, it will be scrapped.
Qiong Xi's eyes flashed and she continued to ask for him: "In the past, when the elves participated in a war, how many arrows would they usually come to town to order?"
"It depends on the scale of the war. As far as I know, the largest order was for 20 million. At that time, the qualified casters and inscriptionists in Blue Water Town spent more than ten days It is completed, and a considerable part of the materials were urgently transferred from other places with the help of the temple." The boss looked at them in surprise and said.
The boss guessed that Shen Chen and the others might be businessmen who had heard some secrets about Bian Huang and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.
But this is none of his business, but he likes it because he can also take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.
Afterwards, Shen Chen discussed some numerical issues with the boss, mainly the storage capacity of relevant materials in Blue Water Town, etc.
Although these are not accurate figures, they can be roughly estimated. Shen Chen deliberately chose such a large-scale store. As expected, the monkey boss here knows all this information and is a very shrewd businessman.
After discussing for more than half an hour, Shen Chen already had a rough answer in his mind.
There has not been a war that required large-scale participation of the elves in this area for decades. During this period, a lot of materials related to the arrow loss in Blue Water Town flowed out and were mobilized to other places, but the overall reserves were also reached a peak.
Shen Chen roughly analyzed that the current reserves of arrow materials in Lanshui Town should be able to forge about 18.5 million high-quality arrows.
According to the cost of each of the 10 divine walls, 18500 divine walls are needed. It is impossible for him to swallow them all, but it seems that there is no need.
If the goddess of the temple can personally mobilize, the war in the western frontier may escalate to a terrifying level.
By then, the amount of arrows needed by the elven warriors in this area will definitely be extremely large, possibly approaching the highest level in the past.
As long as Shen Chen wins a part of the orders, it will be enough to create a huge gap in the demand of the elves. When the time comes, his opportunity will come.
Thinking secretly, Shen Chen didn't waste any time and said, "Give me all the basic materials for casting arrows in the store, but at a lower price."
Because the operation was too huge, Shen Chen also had to save money and could not spend lavishly.
"Haha, no problem!" The shop owner's eyes lit up and he laughed heartily. After talking for a long time, he did not waste his words. He is a very ambitious businessman.
In the end, Shen Chen bought all the fine materials related to the store and spent more than one million yuan.
There are hundreds of mining and gold shops of similar size in Lanshui Town, plus those scattered shops. If you want to take a bite, you will definitely need huge financial support.
After thinking for a while, Shen Chen handed over the remaining tens of millions of divine walls to Xize and Amu, and asked them to continue to buy materials from such stores one by one.
As for himself, he took Qiong Xi to the Chamber of Commerce to sell some things.
"With such a huge total, how much share are you prepared to take?" Qiong Xi asked in a murmur on the way to the Chamber of Commerce.
"A fraction."
"500,000?"
"No, it's 8.5 million!"
"..." Qiong Xi was surprised. This guy was so bad. This was clearly not to create a small gap in the needs of the elves, but to cut them in half.
