Chapter 302 301. If You Win the Bet, Your Family Will Be Rich and Wealthy, but if You Lose the Bet, Your Family Will Be Rich and Wealthy.

Castle outside Fairhaven.

Although Baron Thranis planned to follow Mo Cheng's suggestion and prepare to transform this place into a manufacturing factory for shimmering ointment, she was currently busy with other matters and could not worry about this place in two or three days.

After all, according to the news from Margaret, Baroness Thelanis has been very busy these days with other nobles collecting debts.

There is no doubt that the Thelannis family fleet was sunk by moles sent by some nobles, but more of the nobles who invested in it did so to make money. Now that the fleet is gone, the loss will be equal to the nobles who wanted to invest. Damn, this is simply impossible.

Who was the nobleman responsible for the shipwreck? Mo Cheng guessed that the Thelanis family might have a clear direction, but there was no evidence.

And if there is no evidence to accuse a noble, it is very likely that it will be the old noble. If Thranis dares to accuse today, tomorrow those nobles will dare to jointly request Queen Aundair to deprive Thranis of her title.

Mo Cheng is not completely ignorant of the dirty things done by the nobles. He also knows a little bit about some of the dirty tricks of the nobles. Even when he was in [Foreign Land], one of his big tasks was to have peaches picked by the nobles.

Of course, those nobles also paid a heavy price. After all, the guy rewarded by the black player is not ordinary brave, he is the bravest of braves who dares to bet his family tree.

There are several underground storage rooms in the castle. Some are used as wine cellars, some are used to store ice, and some are simply used to store sundries.

There are not many basements, but they are quite far away. If you want to search all the basements, you would have to go around the castle completely.

Regarding the production line type of alchemy product, Mo Cheng only knew that there was such a thing hidden under the castle on the outskirts of Fairhaven, and more specifically how to obtain it...

As a SKIP type player, you won't care about how to obtain something that can only be obtained once and is out of print.

His memory of that thing was that it was found in the basement of the castle, but which basement it was specifically.

This is the question that needs to be clarified today.

Mo Cheng let go of his senses and made sure that no one suddenly appeared around him. The Thelanis family would be too busy these days to notice what was happening in the castle.

He has a whole day of safe time to explore secrets and dig for treasure.

"It feels almost like when I was a kid."

Run to a deserted place, treat it as a secret base for yourself, and then explore with your good friends...

This kind of behavior has never happened since my parents brought me to the city.

With memories and some childhood mentality in mind, Mo Cheng carefully searched the basement.

In the first basement, I scraped off a layer of the surrounding soil and found nothing.

The second basement also found nothing.

In the third basement, after Mo Cheng dug up two layers of soil, he discovered something unusual.

He found some debris in the soil, which were debris from ore.

There must be no mines where the castle is located. All the mining areas around Fairhaven have been explored and all have owners. If there were mines in this place, they wouldn't build an old castle and wait for it to be abandoned.

When he saw the ore fragments, Mo Cheng knew he had found the right basement. In addition to its own production line-like functions, the alchemy product can also obtain raw materials by decomposing the finished product, or extract trace elements from the soil to refine the ore.

To be honest, when Mo Cheng learned about the function of this alchemy product, he once thought it was very magical. At the same time, this alchemy product has also become a treasure that many lord players compete for.

There is a nearly modern production line, which plays a great role in the development of one's own territory. In order to compete for this thing, many lord-type players lost all their property in their territories.

Originally, Mo Cheng didn't have much thought about this alchemy product, otherwise he wouldn't have kept it for so long without taking the chance.

After all, if this kind of thing wants to have the greatest effect, it must be a lord with territory and power. Mo Cheng has no land in his own hands and no one else, so it won't be of much use.

Until I received the news not long ago that Queen Aundair planned to knight him, it was completely different.

No matter what the title is, even the lowest title theoretically has territory.

Of course, that's only in theory. In reality, there are probably not that many territories in the country that can be enfeoffed, so many nobles can only rely on their status and privileges to do business, or they can get a large living expenses from the royal family.

But in fact, in addition to royal enfeoffment, nobles also had the possibility of acquiring territory.

Pioneering nobility.

As the name suggests, go to inaccessible or even dead-end places, or to places where the border between the two countries is controversial.

The former opened up wasteland and the latter opened up frontiers.

As long as you have the determination to suffer for several generations, you will definitely be able to get a territory for your family, and this kind of territory will directly fill up the legal system. No matter how big a mistake you make in the future, as long as it is not a crime such as treason and regicide. , the king will let you go back to the territory developed by your family and develop again.

Of course, not everyone can develop aristocrats. Most nobles who want to develop aristocrats often end up not doing well.

The pioneering nobles who opened up the wasteland had to spend several generations to turn the territory into a place suitable for human beings to live. They also had to find people to settle down and provide extremely favorable tax rates. At the same time, they also had to explore the economic sources in the territory, invite caravans and Give a low enough tax rate.

When you start making money, you have to be careful of bandits. When there are more people, you have to be careful of unfriendly monsters around you.

The basic plan is in place and man-made disasters have been resolved, but we still have to be careful about natural disasters.

Sometimes after spending decades working hard to make the land in his hands look good, a lord whose territory is completely dead after a natural disaster is so mentally stimulated that he wipes his neck directly.

Not to mention the pioneering aristocrats who opened up new territories. If they competed with other countries for territory, they would either rise quickly or die quickly.

There were quite a few pioneering nobles in the early days of the country. At that time, no matter where the country had gone through war, it was the same. Whether you could get a good territory or not depended entirely on your ability. As time went by, as the country became more stable, the pioneering nobles became increasingly rare.

After all, to become a pioneer noble is to gamble with the lives of your whole family. If you win the bet, your family will be rich and wealthy. If you lose the bet, your family will be rich and prosperous.

With such a high risk, naturally not many people would choose it.
