Chapter 353: Unexpected Gains (Two Chapters in One)

Ren waved to the furbolg priest wearing bright feathers and said, "You call."

"Dear King, my name is Ulusen, and I am responsible for the tribe's sacrificial work." When the furbolg priest saw Ren greeting it, his face lit up, and he immediately stepped forward and bowed deeply.

Ren looked at the white-haired furbolg up and down, and saw that the opponent was about 1.8 meters tall, which was very short compared to other furbolgs, which were often 2.34 meters tall.

But among the many white-haired furbolgs present, it was vaguely the leader. It turned out to be the priest of the furbolgs, no wonder.

In terms of strength, he is roughly as strong as a second-level liquefaction wizard, which is quite not weak.

Considering that he would not stay in the ice field for a long time in the future, he would still have to rely on the Ulusen in front of him to control the white-haired furbolg tribe. Therefore, Ren planned to issue a few orders to see the execution and efficiency of the other party.

"Very well, Ulusen, arrange for someone to take an ice bucket and help me collect Corasius's blood." Renn issued the first order to the furbolg priest who had just taken refuge.

"As you command, my king." Ulusen bowed again and retreated.

As soon as these white-haired furbolgs were seen, under the command of Ulusen, they took the newly dug ice bucket and placed it under the Archosaur's wound to collect the blood. Some of them were collecting the blood that had dripped on the ice. Scoop up and collect.

Seeing this scene, Ren nodded slightly.

Obviously, the intelligence of an ordinary furbolg is only equivalent to that of a seven or eight-year-old child, but the intelligence of this furbolg priest is far beyond that.

This was a good thing, because it meant the other party could understand his more complex commands.

Seeing that Ren seemed to be interested in disposing of the body of the ancestral dragon, the Chimera knight Luther beside him couldn't help but said with envy:

"Sir Ren, the ancestral dragon Corasius is particularly huge. You can keep its head well. Maybe it can be placed on the wall of the banquet hall. That will be the best proof of your strength!"

"Good advice." Ren said with a smile.

At this time, the beautiful woman Welty's face turned red, she quickly glanced at Ren's lower body and said:

"Sir Ren, are you planning to dispose of the corpse of the ancestor dragon? The elasticity of dragon skin is very good. Maybe you can consider making a set of inner armor with dragon skin."

"Very elastic? Inner armor?"

Renn naturally noticed the beautiful woman's secret glance at him just now. When he heard what the other party said, he immediately understood what Welty meant and nodded.

After all, the style of pleated shorts is too niche, and leather shorts would be slightly better.

At this time, Anna stepped forward and handed Ren a new set of white wizard robes, which allowed Ren to regain his decent appearance.

"Sir Ren, do you have any specific plans for the use of the dragon corpse?" Batalov, the dean of Winterhold College on the side, slowly walked forward and asked with a smile.

"Well, to be honest, I don't have any other plans except for dragon blood. Dean Batalov, do you have any suggestions?" Renn thought for a while and had nothing to hide.

His current combat power, especially after transforming into the dragon general form, is comparable to the peak of the legend, but when it comes to knowledge, it is not as good as Batarov, a third-level crystallized person who has lived for more than a hundred years. Compared with wizards, they are much inferior.

"Although there is a gap between Archosaurus and a real giant dragon, it is still full of treasures. Dragon skin can also be used to make top-grade leather armor, and dragon tendons are the best bowstring material for bows and arrows." Batalov laughed. He introduced.

"Also, I wonder if Mr. Ren has heard of Dragon Soul Mixture?"

"Dragon Soul Mixture? Dean Batalov, are you talking about the ancient potion that can greatly increase mental power? Didn't you say that the formula has been lost?" Luther suddenly opened his eyes and said in surprise.

"Haha, Lord Luther is indeed well-informed. Yes, it is the ancient dragon soul mixture. I dare say that this ancient mixture formula is probably not available even in the Royal Apothecaries Association."

"A few years ago, I was also exploring a ruins and happened to find a formula for the Dragon Soul Mixture." When Batalov talked about the formula for the Dragon Soul Mixture, he stroked his white beard and smiled. .

"It has only one effect, which is to greatly increase mental power. It has a strong effect on third-level crystallized wizards," Batalov began to describe the ancient dragon soul mixture in detail.

After some narration, Ren learned.

This dragon soul mixture does not require the real dragon soul, but the dragon's brain. Perhaps, it is more appropriate to call it the dragon brain mixture.

Renn is naturally very interested in the ancient mixture that can greatly enhance mental power.

Especially when I heard that it has a strong effect on level two liquefied wizards and even level three crystallized wizards, my eyes lit up even more.

One of the prerequisites that restricts his transfer to the 'Dragon Vein Wizard' is mental strength. He needs to reach the third level Crystal Wizard as soon as possible. If there is this so-called ancient dragon soul mixture, the speed of improvement will be even more powerful.

"It's just that in addition to the main raw material of borneol, other rare raw materials such as purple lotus, nightmare vine, lava core, etc. are also needed. Currently, Winterhold College is still collecting them."

"So, Sir Ren, I have an idea. If you agree, we might as well work together to make the ancient dragon soul potion. Judging from the brain capacity of the Ancestral Dragon, at least five ancient dragon soul potions can be made."

Batalov looked at Ren and spoke his mind.

"By the way, the effect of taking the Ancient Dragon Soul Potion is best only for the first time, and the effect will be greatly reduced afterwards." Batalov seemed to have thought of something and added in time.

Ryan thought for a moment and agreed, nodded and said, "Of course, I'll trouble Dean Batalov to make the Ancient Dragon Soul Potion."

First of all, he didn't have the formula for the Ancient Dragon Soul Potion, so he couldn't make it himself.

Secondly, collecting other raw materials is also a time-consuming and laborious task.

In fact, if he hadn't killed the Protosaurus Corasius in time this time and avoided the huge casualties of Winterhold College, I'm afraid that the Dean of Winterhold College, Batalov, would not have revealed that he had the formula for the Ancient Dragon Soul Potion.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ryan, I will take charge of this matter myself. After all, I also need the Ancient Dragon Soul Potion. Let's try to see if I can take another step forward." Batalov said with a smile on his face.

"Dean, you have a chance now," the beautiful woman Welty beside him reacted instantly and said in surprise.

"I have some insights, but it is still difficult to break through." Batalov nodded and smiled.

"Great!" The senior executives of Winterhold Academy congratulated one after another.

"Congratulations, Dean Batalov!" Ryan also smiled and congratulated.

A level 3 crystal wizard, if he takes another step forward, will be a level 4 wizard.

That is almost equal to the strength of the Imperial Dragon Knight, an epic combat force, but the number is extremely rare.

He had heard Admiral Edward accidentally mention it in advance, it seems that more than 70% of the guardians of the entire Dragun Empire are dragon knights, and the rest are level 4 wizards.

"Sir Ryan, compared to you, it is not worth mentioning." Batalov waved his hand and smiled bitterly.

"I heard from Melita that you are only about 20 years old. You may not know that it has taken me 159 years to get from being a wizard apprentice to now."

"But even so, in the history of Winterhold College, it is already a very fast promotion speed."

"Dean Batalov, you are too kind." Ryan didn't know what to say for a while.

Indeed, if compared with him, Batalov's current combat power is a little bit short of the legendary peak, which may cause him some trouble, but he will never be his opponent after he transforms into a dragon general.

In addition, Ryan also roughly knew the difficulty of wizard promotion before, and the later it is, the more difficult it is.

But 159 years is still fast, which is really beyond his expectations.

It can be seen that it is not easy for a wizard to improve all the way to the level where he has the opportunity to impact the fourth-level dawn wizard.

Fortunately, he has a system to support him, which will greatly shorten the promotion time.

At this time, Melita suddenly stepped forward, pointed at the dragon corpse being processed, and said solemnly: "Lord Ryan, mentor, I think you two need to come and take a look."

Hmm?

Out of curiosity, Ryan immediately followed Melita with Batalov and others to the belly of the proto-dragon, only to see that the other party's stomach had been cut open, and there were scattered huge undigested bones in the stomach.

"What is this?" Ryan was a little puzzled for a while.

"Lord Ryan, after identification by several wizards in our academy, this is the bone of the proto-dragon." Melita said in a deep voice.

"Hmm?" Ryan raised his eyebrows.

He instantly understood what Melita meant.

"You mean, Corahus may have swallowed one of his kind?" Ryan looked at Melita.

"Yes!"

Ryan waved to the bear monster priest who was commanding other white-haired bear monsters not far away, and saw Urusen running over quickly, bowing respectfully and saying: "Great king, please give me your orders."

"Urusen, did you know that Colasius had swallowed the same kind of proto-dragon before?"

"This... It's true. Lord Diam was swallowed by Lord Colasius before." Urusen told the truth without hesitation. After all, Colasius is dead now, and there is nothing to hide.

Hearing the answer of the bear monster priest Urusen, everyone couldn't help but exclaim.

"What a cruel guy. If other dragons knew about it, Colasius would definitely be hunted down and killed by the dragons." Welty on the side sighed.

"Yes, both cruel and cunning, I really don't know how such a cunning guy appeared among the proto-dragons." Batalov couldn't help shaking his head and sighed.

You know, most of the proto-dragons are violent, but not very intelligent.

In this regard, the proto-dragons are far inferior to the five-color dragons of the empire, and the difference is equivalent to the intelligence difference between an adult and a seven or eight-year-old child.

It seems that because of their weak intelligence, the proto-dragons are almost unable to cast witchcraft and can only fight by melee and dragon breath.

This also makes the five-color dragons look down on the proto-dragons with imperfect evolution, and even once want to classify the proto-dragons as dragon beasts.

Since it was the first time for Ryan to enter a dragon's nest, after he handed over the work of dealing with the corpse, he took Anna, Lagre and others to wander around in the nest.

"Wow, Ryan, look, this large piece should be snow moss, right? This is very rare in the outside world." As a druid, Anna has a natural advantage in identifying herbs. She pointed to a corner of the glacier wall and shouted in surprise.

"Hey, why is it a little different?" When Anna walked over quickly and squatted down to pick a plant, she frowned slightly and said.

"Miss Anna, if I'm not mistaken, this should not be ordinary snow moss, but extremely rare and precious ambergris moss." Batalov, the dean of Winterburg Academy, walked up and said with a smile after carefully checking.

As a master of potions, he is even better at identifying herbs than Anna, a young druid.

"Ah, ambergris moss, that's too precious." Anna looked at the white herb in her hand that looked like an oyster mushroom, and her beautiful eyes could not hide her shock.

Soon, everyone discovered that there were several herbs in the nest that had been mutated by the dragon's breath, all of which were extremely precious.

This made Ryan's smile more obvious.

Now, these things naturally belong to him.

I don't know if it's because Colasius has just revived, there is no legendary shiny dragon treasure in the nest, only some shiny knight armor, weapons and a pitiful few hundred gold coins.

Judging from the oldness of the armor, it seems to be a recent equipment.

Ryan naturally doesn't like this thing.

"Huh? Ryan, what is that?" The barbarian girl Lagre pointed to the ground at the deepest part of the nest in front.

Ryan looked in the direction of Lagre, and saw that a piece of ground on the north side of the nest seemed to be shining with a faint golden light.

"Such a big piece of dog-head gold (note: exposed block of bright gold, shaped like a dog's head)!" Luther seemed to recognize the origin at a glance and couldn't help but be surprised.

But then, he suddenly thought of something and quickly dug up the ground to check.

"Sure enough, there is a rich gold mine here!" Luther said excitedly.

Rich gold mine?

Ryan raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but quickly stepped forward to check.

When they heard that there was a gold mine, including Batalov, Welty, Anna and others gathered around.

"It is indeed a rich gold mine. The gold content of this gold mine exceeds 40%. I think the gold content is about 60% from the color." Batalov, the third-level crystal wizard, asserted after a careful inspection.

Everyone talked one after another, and soon analyzed the situation.

The word "rich" in front of the gold mine means that the gold content of this mine is far higher than that of ordinary gold mines.

Moreover, most of the gold veins here are exposed in the shallow surface, which is easy to dig. In addition, rich mines are often accompanied by some rare ores that are more precious than gold.

Hearing that Luther and Batalov were so sure, Ryan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he waved to the bear monster priest Urusen in the distance again, saying:

"Urusen, there is a rich gold mine here, did you know it before?"

"Uh, my king, I really didn't know this. For us, gold mines are not as practical as food." Urusen looked at the freshly unearthed dog head gold on the ground with a confused look on his face, and said.

"Well, it's okay, go and do your thing." Ryan couldn't help but fall into thought.

Whether it is the knight's path or the wizard's path, a lot of resources are needed in the process of improvement.

In other words, only with money can you improve your strength with half the effort.

At this time, Luther seemed to think of something, shook his head, and sighed:

"Sir Ryan, it's a pity! This place is deep in the ice field. It's unlikely to let miners come here to mine. However, such a large piece of nugget gold can be taken away."

If the vein of this rich gold mine was in the cold wind tundra, he would let the family spend a huge amount of money to mine, but the location of this rich gold mine is too remote.

Not to mention the hidden dangers on the ice field along the way, it is difficult to transport the miners' daily necessities.

And a nugget gold, even if it is as big as a washbasin, does not mean much to Luther's level.

"Yes, what a pity! Lord Ryan, not only mining, but also smelting here is probably impossible." Barotaf looked around the glacier walls and shook his head.

The temperature inside the glacier nest is extremely low. If you want to set up a furnace directly for smelting, it will not only be ineffective, but also have the risk of collapse.

It is likely that the gold ore must be dug out and transported outside before it can be smelted.

"If it is the transportation of refined gold ingots, the ice giant owls of Winterburg College can help a little." Barotaf added.

"No, maybe the bear monsters can." Ryan smiled.

Ryan pointed behind Urusen, and soon, a bear monster guard handed over the rough iron rod in his hand.

After Ryan took it, in the blink of an eye, the iron rod transformed into a miner's hoe.

Moreover, Ryan was very careful and covered the top of the miner's pick with a small layer of hardened gold to prevent the miner's pick from wearing out too quickly during the excavation process.

"Urusen, let your people try."

"Yes, my king."

Soon, a strong bear monster went to dig.

In just a few minutes, the bear monster dug a lot of gold ore.

"This" Luther's eyes bulged out.

Can it be done this way?

Let the ferocious white-haired bear monster go to mine!

Batalov and Welty looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes. They had heard of ice field kobolds mining, but they had never heard of ice field bear monsters mining.

At the same time, several people reacted instantly.

This represents a huge business opportunity that can produce gold continuously.

"Sir Ryan, there is only one problem left to be solved, which is the smelting problem." Luther said with a smile.

"Maybe this matter"

Ryan waved his hand and said, "Smelting is not a problem!"

"Lagre, can you leave the smelting problem to the Norton tribe? Of course it's not in vain, the Norton tribe will get their share of the profit." Ryan turned his head and said to the barbarian girl Lagre beside him with a smile.

"Ah? Of course it's okay!" Lagre was stunned when she heard it, and she obviously felt like a pie in the sky.

She didn't expect Ryan to hand over such a good thing involving huge interests to her Norton tribe to handle, and her eyes looking at Ryan couldn't help but become more affectionate.

Whether it was Chimera Knight Luther or the people in Winterburg Academy, they were all smart people. Seeing Ryan's attitude towards the barbarian girl Lagre, they didn't understand what Ryan meant.

He stopped talking immediately.

Melita looked at Ryan, her beautiful eyes were almost pulled out.

Oh my God! Lord Ryan is strong, handsome, and caring.

It's over! It's over! She felt that she had completely fallen.

"Everyone, it seems that we can have a good discussion about the use of gold mines." Ryan smiled slightly.

"Of course!" Everyone nodded in praise.

With Ryan, the lifesaver, taking the lead, the framework was immediately negotiated.

It was initially agreed that several companies would jointly be responsible for the mining, transportation and sales of gold mines.

Generally speaking, the mining will be done by the white-haired bear monster, Ryan, the Norton barbarian tribe will be responsible for building a blast furnace outside the nest and smelting, the Winter Fort Academy will be responsible for sending people to transport and escort, and the final sales will be handed over to the Snyder family where Luther is.

Duke Snyder is the governor of the Empire's Marne Province, and Luther is Duke Snyder's second son.

As for the profit share, Ryan accounts for 40%, and the other three companies each account for 20%.

After the general framework was finalized, as for the remaining details, Ryan had sent a message to the beautiful woman Jennifer, asking her to send someone to take charge of the specific operations.

After all, his precious energy could not be put on business.

"What! Great, I didn't expect that Ericson, the high priest of the Black Flame Cult in the Marne Province, had died in your hands. Sir Ryan, thank you so much." Luther couldn't help but say with great joy.

Just now, he learned the news.

You know, Ericson's strength is slightly higher than his, which is why, Marne Province has fallen to three counties, but as a family, the Snyder family has not been able to take any action.

Mainly before the Imperial Guardian came, the Snyder family did not have the ability to solve the Black Flame Cult entrenched in Marne Province alone.

"I will communicate with my father immediately, quickly organize elite troops, and pacify these three counties." Luther looked at Ryan, and couldn't help but feel more grateful.

"Sir Luther, this is what I should do as the sword bearer of the Empire." Ryan smiled.

"What! Sir Ryan, you are a sword bearer?!" The beautiful woman Welty beside him said with her eyes wide open, extremely surprised.

"Yes!" Ryan nodded and said.

Others did not ask in detail, but took it for granted that Ryan must be a strong man affiliated with the Sword Bearer Headquarters of the Imperial Capital.

Just kidding, how could a provincial-level Sword Bearer branch have such a powerful figure as Sir Ryan!

Hearing Ryan's words, others including Batalov and Luther couldn't help but look at Ryan in surprise.

If the previous cooperation plan was mainly promoted by Ryan's personal force, then now, some other things have been added.

Unknowingly, the closeness of the cooperation between the parties has been greatly improved.

"Ryan, this news is very important to the tribe. I want to go back to Jikar Valley first to report this matter to the high priest and the patriarch." La Gelei couldn't hide her excitement and whispered to Ryan.

"Although it doesn't take many people to smelt gold, we still have to arrange in advance. We also have to prepare smelting agents, charcoal, and build furnaces." As if she was afraid that Ryan would disagree, Lagre added hastily.

"Okay, I'll come to Jikal Valley to find you after I come back from Howling Fjord." Ryan nodded and said.
