Chapter 138 Kidnapping a Professional Kobold
Alex was dealt with in secret, and no one in the city knew about it except Jia Zhengjin and Wolf. In fact, no one cares!
Jia Zhengjin couldn't shoot himself, so the crossbow also deliberately missed. Just to force Alex in front of that weird piranha.
He can fight without hesitation, but when facing an unarmed person, he will still resist in his heart. And give Alex a weapon? That's not okay, what if he really runs away by accident?
So Jia Zhengjin chose the safest method. You don't have to do it yourself, and you don't feel sorry.
Occasionally, there will be wild beasts approaching near the mine, especially when the fake dragon flies to the distance to drink water or return to the city to eat meat. They will take the opportunity to come!
The kobold troops stationed in it will fight with the beasts, and of course some sacrifices are inevitable, although they can still defeat the beasts in the end so that the miners will not be affected.
Such situations happen almost every day, so replenishing the number of kobolds in time is what Jia Zhengjin must do.
Compared with the mine, the kobold troops patrolling the periphery lose more every day.
So every day, Jia Zhengjin needs to go to the kobold lair to replenish at least 300 to 500 kobolds. Just spending on this item will cost at least 10 to 13 gold coins every day. Fortunately, I found a gold mine, so if the gold coins are used up, you can exchange them with the gold mine road resource trading station. Therefore, such expenses are still acceptable!
Then it costs more to recruit soldier bees every day, 1 soldier bee needs 200 raw meat, 500 is a whole 100,000 raw meat! In other words, 100 gold coins are needed every day! This is a bit heartbreaking, but I have to recruit soldier bees. Because the next time Guangming City or the Xiongfeng Empire came to attack, it would be impossible to resist without enough troops.
This is also the reason why Jia Zhengjin wants to domesticate a first-order monster, at least to minimize the number of precious soldier bees during the battle! If possible, he would also like to capture more powerful Tier 2 and Tier 3 monsters.
The wild mining area can dig out about 30 gold ores, 10 silver ores and a large amount of copper ore and iron ore every day.
Even though the veins of gold and silver mines are relatively large, only a small amount of gold ore and silver ore can be dug out. The main reason is that the tools are too poor!
If it is a steel pickaxe, or just an ordinary and high-quality iron pickaxe, the gold ore and silver ore that can be dug can be greatly increased.
Knowing that there will be a lot of loss, but in order to maintain the supply of troops, I have to dig all the time.
So in addition to the main building materials,
Every day, Jia Zhengjin takes out as much as possible to make tools to improve the level of tool manufacturing. Now he is only a little experience away from the level 3 forging skills that must be of ordinary quality.
Most of the minerals, of course, are mainly to upgrade the arrow tower. The current inner city defense is already very strong. Even if there was a plague of locusts like last time, nearly half of the locusts could be wiped out with the Arrow Tower alone. Greatly reduced the pressure on the town guards in the city.
There are also some resources used for various building materials for the villagers in the city, such as more public warehouses, such as garbage recycling stations, such as small village shops, and so on.
As for the rest, they will all be used for the construction of the new city wall outside.
Today's building share was completed, and Jia Zhengjin's tool-making skill finally reached level 3. From now on, the various iron tools he made are basically of ordinary quality, which can replace the low-quality tools of the miners.
The materials of the arrow tower can be stopped for a day and used to build tools, at least first replace all the miners' iron pickaxes with ordinary quality ones. In this way, the mining efficiency will be faster and more materials will come!
Jia Zhengjin took 500 kobold artisans, protected by the kobold army led by Dolma, Buddy, Worf, and Karl, and began to use the hoarded stone bricks to build the outer city wall within the planned range.
The outer city wall has already begun, and now it is divided into two teams and continues to expand to the left and right.
The leader of the kobolds who was leading a team to patrol the outskirts of the forest was so busy that he kidnapped someone and returned to the city.
When he found Jia Zhengjin on the way, he immediately ran over.
"What's the situation?" Jia Zhengjin glanced at the dozen or so alien humans who were carried back by the kobold troops and thrown at his feet, and couldn't help being a little speechless, "It's getting worse or something? Send someone here for me?"
The kobold leader was silly, just opening his mouth and sticking out his tongue as if laughing.
Jia Zhengjin came down from the city wall and took a closer look.
There were a total of twelve kidnapped human beings from another world, all wearing black robes and hoods, looking mysterious. Among them, two men in black robes can be seen as women from their body shape, after all, the s-curve is very obvious.
In addition to the twelve men in black robes, the kobolds also brought back several large boxes, which looked very heavy.
"Hmm~~" Probably because I finally saw humans, one of the black-robed people who thought they were going to be food for kobolds writhed desperately.
If you want to say that these kobolds are wicked, tie their mouths tightly with ropes so that they can't speak. Jia Zhengjin hurried over to help the man in black who reacted the most to untie the rope from his mouth.
"Bold lunatic! Do you know who we are?!" The man in black opened his mouth and immediately roared loudly.
"Hmm~~" Thinking his voice was too loud, Jia Zhengjin decisively tied him back again. Then he pointed his fingers back and forth, and finally pointed to two female men in black robes.
He walked over and squatted down, and said to one of the women: "I will help you untie the rope in your mouth, please be quiet and don't scream! You can only answer my questions, you know?"
The female black robe nodded desperately.
Only then did Jia Zhengjin reach out, untie the rope in her mouth, and asked, "Who are you?"
"We are just travelers passing by..." The woman in black robe had a small mole on her sexy lips, and she spoke in a very nice voice.
But Jia Zhengjin didn't respond, because she was at least forty years old, and she was an old woman twice her grade!
Hearing her words, Jia Zhengjin glanced at the box carried back by the kobold: "Traveler passing by? What's in the box?"
"Nothing!" The female figure in black showed a nervous look.
Believe in you, there are ghosts! Jia Zhengjin immediately got up and walked over, reaching out to open the lid, but found that it was locked. He turned around, looked at the woman in black robe and asked, "Who has the key?"
The woman in black robe shook her head hastily, but her eyes nervously looked at the woman in black robe next to her.
Jia Zhengjin captured this moment, so he walked over and bent over to grope gently.
"Bold!! Do you know who she is?" the black-robed woman whose mouth was loosened shouted, "Don't be rude!"
"Cut!" Jia Zhengjin didn't bother to talk to her, found the key on the belt from the other woman, went directly to unlock it, and opened one of the big boxes.
The moment he opened the box, the bright light blinded him a little. It turned out to be full of gems and gold coins!
"Wow~~" Jia Zhengjin couldn't help whistling, and looked at the kobold leader, "I will add meat to you tonight, until you are full!"
"Oh~~!!" The kobold leader immediately raised his head and let out a cheerful howl.
