Chapter 489 Gems Are Piled up Like a Mountain【Subscribe】【5K】

All that needs to be done now has been arranged.

The next step is to return to the territory to arrange for a normalized rotation garrison.

Before that, Zong Shen had to explore the Griffon Nest.

After all, this lair occupies the entire top of the cliff, covering an area of ​​more than 100,000 square meters.

Another special building in the wild, there should be something worth exploring.

Moreover, in the griffin's nest, Zong Shen also saw a mountain of gems of various colors.

These gemstones are large and small, and come in different colors.

Many of them should be magic gems with elemental magic.

Because he was cruising on Eagle Sauce's back, and the interior of the nest was dimly lit.

So he couldn't check it carefully. Compared with these ready-made gems, he was more concerned about the rumors about these gems, that is, griffins like to collect gems and will build nests near gem mines.

The scene has already proved the truth of the first piece of news on the spot. If the second piece of news is also true, then Zong Shenke will be prosperous.

"Is the rumor true?"

"Is there really a gem mine near here?"

(The valley 327 kilometers north of this place contains gem mines that have not been mined on a large scale, with medium reserves.

There are some crypt races inhabiting it, which have not yet been discovered by humans

There is by far the largest gryphon nest in the mountain clifftop neutral city called Craggar

It is also known as the city of griffins, and it is the most important source of griffin riding beasts in several major human kingdoms in the continent.

There are 29 small gem mines, 13 medium gem mines, five large gem mines, and two extra-large gem mines within 1,000 kilometers near Fort Cliff.)

"There really is a gem mine!"

Zong Shen was overjoyed and couldn't help shouting in a low voice.

Fortunately, these griffins can't understand too complicated human vocabulary.

As if feeling Zong Shen's joy, Ying Jiang also let out a loud chirping.

Although it was beaten to death by Zong Shen before it was tamed, and its loyalty was only 60 points after it was tamed, it was still surrendered anyway.

This is a process of qualitative change, even if it is still a little stubborn in its heart, it will gradually enter the role.

"Eagle sauce, take me there!"

Zong Shen stretched out his finger and pointed to the place where the gems were stacked in the Griffin's Nest.

I saw Yingjiang stretched her neck and took Zong Shen over without hesitation.

Griffons have a hobby of collecting gems, and have no practical use or purpose, just a hobby in their nature.

These guys don't love money as much as the greedy chicks.

Including the gems piled up in the lair, they also took it back from the gem mine when they were bored.

With the sturdy beaks of the griffins, they can easily peck through the rock and take out the gems sealed in the rock wall. It can be seen that there are many stone skins attached to these gems.

In fact, they store gemstones in their nests, which are of great benefit to them too.

There are two kinds of gems in this world. The first kind is ordinary ornamental gems, and there is no magic element in them.

The second is magic gems, such gems contain a lot of elemental magic.

It is a commonly used magic prop, which is often used to make magical objects, jewelry and equipment, and spell casting items.

Things like wands, wands, spellcasting books are the same.

Even some finely crushed gems are valuable and can be ground into gem powder.

These powders are even more suitable for engraving Mageweave than mithril.

According to different magic properties, the corresponding magic gems have different colors and appearances.

Basically equal to the color shown by those magical attributes.

For example, red often represents flame, earthy yellow is earth type, golden yellow is gold type, azure blue is thunder type, gray purple is arcane, and so on can be applied to almost every type.

Eagle sauce obediently carried him to the side of the gem pile.

Zong Shen nimbly jumped from its back and jumped to the ground.

"quack..."

As soon as he landed, his feet stomped on the thick pile of bones.

Those who don't know whether it is animal or human bones are trampled and broken.

The ground in the entire gryphon den is almost entirely covered with various skeletons.

I don't know how long these bones have been laid here, most of them are loose, and when you step down, there are bone fragments flying everywhere.

This skeleton carpet adds a terrifying color to the griffin's nest.

However, Zong Shen had no intention of paying attention to these, and his attention was all on the pile of gems.

When he stepped forward, Yingjiang had already fluttered his wings and came to the side of the gem pile.

Using this place as a sofa and rubbing against the pile of gems with his huge body seems to be very enjoyable.

When it was leaning on the gem pile, the light blue wind magic gem mixed with it began to play its role, and a strong wind spirit and magic power surrounded Eagle sauce like water mist.

In order to deter the second brother Griffin just now, Yingjiang did not hesitate to breathe the wave of the wind blade, which consumed a lot of its magic power, and now it can make up for the deficit.

As for the other gems, there was no reaction, after all, the Griffin belongs to the wind-type beast.

Zong Shen observed with interest.

He found that the griffins' fondness for collecting gems seemed more than a hobby.

Those wind spirit gems in these gems should help the strength of the Griffin.

This is a long and subtle process, but it's all his guesswork.

Zong Shen came to the pile of gems, stretched out a hand and began to brush it gently.

He is using the lord's ability to store items to quickly explore the situation of these gems.

The total number of gems in this pile is quite large, and the gems in it are of various colors, large and small.

It took Zong Shen fifteen or sixteen minutes to screen them all.

Through deliberate statistics he came up with the final number.

There are a total of 379,272 gems here.

More than 70% of them are ordinary gems.

These gems do not possess any magical properties, but they are not completely useless to Zong Shen.

At least among those hypocritical aboriginal nobles, such gems are still very valuable.

Especially those that are large, round in shape, and pure in color are excellent materials for processing into craft jewelry, which can be exchanged for valuable dinars or other equivalent materials in any giant city.

The role of the dinar is actually very big. It is called the currency of choice, and it has peculiar abilities in itself.

Adding some dinars to the smelting process of some metal materials will give you additional attribute boosts.

But even in this world, where the wealth of wealth has accumulated to a huge number, few people will use dinars to forge at will.

This currency was not issued by a certain force but only appeared after the end of the era.

At that time, overnight, the dinar became the standard currency circulated by the major forces.

For Aboriginal people, it seems like it should be.

To this extent, only the lord system that is omniscient and omnipotent dominates the whole domain.

These are also some miscellaneous studies that Zong Shen had inquired about when he had nothing to do.

In short, dinars represent wealth, and as long as you have enough dinars, you can buy everything.

Population, supplies, materials, and even all kinds of armor and crossbow bolts that are considered forbidden by the major kingdoms.

Thinking back to the days before the birth of the Knights, to create a set of sturdy full-body armor required the efforts of the whole village.

Now it's very different, as long as you have enough dinars, there will be a lot of black market traders or goblin traders trying to get these forbidden items for you.

In this batch of gems, the number of ordinary gems reached 272,075.

The number of magic gems reached 107,197.

Ordinary gems are also divided into many grades, and there are irregular and inferior products full of impurities.

There are also top grades as large as goose eggs, beautiful in color and flawless inside.

These all require further screening.

The same goes for magic gems, with even more variety.

Arcane, space, time, thunder, wind, water, fire…

In addition to the difference between the categories, and because of the amount of magic power, size, and impurities contained in the interior, it has been subdivided into six qualities: primary, intermediate, advanced, special, top, and super.

It roughly corresponds to the six levels from ordinary to epic. The higher the quality, the fewer the number.

Specific needs further induction and classification.

This is not an easy job, even Zong Shen's storage compartment can't collect all the gems.

If you want to collect so many gems, you can only ask Howie to come with the [Hike Merchant's Badge].

With the storage space that comes with the badge, it takes about a dozen trips.

Mainly these gems have not been precisely processed, and the stone skins on them also take up a lot of space.

Perhaps because griffins are wind-type beasts, there are many wind spirit gems in magic gems.

In the six levels from elementary to super, the total number of wind spirit gems reached 27,291.

This accounts for almost 25% of the total number of magic gems.

This batch of gems is the savings that Griffin does not know how many years.

It's been pecked back over time.

It was also the first time that Zong Shen had seen so many gems, but his nerves became numb when the number was too large.

With the current strength of the lord, it is very difficult to conquer this gryphon nest.

Not to mention that like him, he captured the thief first, and beat the overlord-level dragon-veined griffin into a pig's head.

The entire gryphon nest was captured without a single soldier.

Made a fortune.

In fact, at this stage, not everyone can make such a windfall.

This also indirectly proves that the world is not only vast but also rich.

If the strength is strong enough to attack the giant city, the treasure house in the giant city and the private goods of the nobles and wealthy businessmen must be an incomparably huge number.

Zong Shen couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the days when the lords were generally tight.

In a short period of time, the strength of most of the lords will still maintain a uniform progress.

But one day, the lords will be able to wrestle with the natives.

That's when all-out war and conflict erupt.

After all, nothing develops faster than war.

A battlefield can not only quickly plunder the opponent's population, but also gain the wealth accumulated by the opponent.

But this also requires the balance of strength to reach a certain balance.

The fact that the lords have just landed, the scale of strength is not equal, and the aborigines have the absolute upper hand.

This is because the aboriginal forces have accumulated thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years.

But over time, the lords will become more and more important in the balance.

Because every lord has the support of the lord system, they can go through various challenges and earn points.

You can also explore the ruins to open the treasure chest, and the various recruitment volumes are also completely variable.

These warriors and heroes who began more than 10,000 years ago and were enclosed in it thousands of years ago represent the heritage of another thousands of years.

Therefore, in the future, this continent is absolutely indispensable.

Zong Shen had understood this a long time ago.

But now he sees it more clearly.

When he got this windfall, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Because of the limitations of the storage compartment, he could not take away these gems.

However, Zong Shen already had a suitable distribution plan in his mind.

He wants to take most of the gems here.

However, among the wind spirit gems, he will keep a total of several thousand wind spirit gems of all grades according to the proportion.

The remaining wind spirit gems are all prepared for the griffins in the griffin nest.

The strength of this griffin nest is very good, and Zong Shen does not want the strength of the group to deteriorate because of the reason he took the gem.

There are all kinds of monsters in the wild of this world, as well as many ethnic tribes.

These beasts and aliens are not static.

Populations can also degenerate due to interbreeding, food, environmental changes, etc.

Goblins, for example, are an obvious example.

Among them, promiscuity is a major factor in ethnic degeneration.

This law covers almost all intelligent creatures, including pure-blooded dragons.

Dragon eggs born from sibling mating have a greater chance of appearing dragon beasts that cannot use dragon language magic.

In addition, some external factors are also crucial.

The power of the environment cannot be underestimated, and Zong Shen understands this very well.

After he counted all the gems, he couldn't help but stand aside and take a few more glances.

Because of the dim light in the griffon's nest, the gems did not reflect much light.

But there is a soul-stirring attraction to staying in place so quietly.

After all, gems are a wonderful mineral that fits human aesthetics.

"By the way, does the Wind Spirit Gem affect the strength of the Griffin?"

Zong Shen came back to his senses and decided to verify his thoughts with the strategy module.

Because it was all his guesses before, he can feel at ease only after getting confirmation from the Raiders.

(Yes, the wind spirit gems are very beneficial to the reproduction of griffins

It accelerates the growth cycle of the griffin without shortening its lifespan, and this acceleration is limited

According to the current situation, at least 8,000 wind spirit gems need to be kept to allow the acceleration to reach the upper limit, which can shorten the growth cycle by about 20%.

In addition, the wind spirit gem can slowly increase the strength of the griffin, and can quickly restore its magic power

This process is also imperceptible, and the griffins living in the wind spirit gem environment are more powerful than the griffins living in the gemless environment, the range is between 15% and 35%)

"Eight thousand?"

Zong Shen repeated a sentence subconsciously, and he was still a little distressed when he heard this number.

However, he thought about it, these gems were also collected by the griffins, and he was relieved when he thought about it.

From the tips given by the Raiders module, he got a lot of information.

After digesting this information, he had his own thoughts.

"Since the wind spirit gem can shorten the growth cycle of these griffins and enhance their strength."

"Then can I place some wind-based magic circles here, or place some top-level wind-attribute magic items and wind runes?"

Zong Shen put forward his own views.

(Of course, these griffins also have training value, some wind spirit props, wind spirit magic circles, runes, can play the same role as gems

It also depends on how you lay out the Griffon Nest to get accurate augmentation data)

Zong Shen was instantly stunned when he saw the Raiders prompt.

This griffin nest still has great development value.

Investing some capital in the future can greatly shorten the cycle of the Griffin.

And whether it is this world or the lord system itself, there are many fancy magic items and props, which one can accelerate the growth cycle of these monsters.

It is not an easy thing to cultivate these longevity species.

The lifespan of human beings is too far from them, so the two are not on the same time standard.

Thinking of this, he took out the communication crystal and dialed Howie's crystal number.

As the crystal glowed lavender, the communication crystal towers in the territory also began to shine.

Within a radius of one thousand kilometers, magical energy signals can be transmitted freely.

It took about twenty seconds before the communication crystal was connected.

"Adult... big..."

Howie's voice was vague, with a faint echo.

"Have you returned from the mine?"

Zong Shen asked straight to the point.

Before he set off, Hauib was tasked with clearing the pastures and then heading to the mines to deliver supplies to Dutra and the others.

Along with him was the fourth-order immortal lancer squad led by Cecilia.

According to the time, more than three hours have passed, and the work should be finished.

"Master, not yet."

"We've delivered all the supplies."

"However, Dutra and they have made new discoveries in the excavation in the past few days."

"The kobolds dug through a passage that was originally collapsed and closed, and found some remains of the elf and human coalition forces in it."

Zong Shen raised his eyebrows when he heard Howie's report.

It has to be said that this is a piece of news that interests him.

Azshara's mine is very large, connecting a part of the mountain fortress and Azshara's city sewers. What Zongshen and the others are developing now is only a small part of the mine.

Most of the mine tunnels had collapses of varying scales. In addition, during this period of time, there were frequent challenges and many things happened, so Zong Shen did not pay attention to the mine cave ruins for a while.

Unexpectedly, when those puppies were digging, they really opened up a part of the passage without knowing it.

"Notify Dutra, don't dig further!"

"Everything is waiting for my notification!"

"For now, we will focus on mining."

"Also, bring Bajie back."
