Chapter 530 Worth Ten Million

In the prime of life, old age, and extremely old, these are just simple descriptions of the dragon's own age.

But when it comes to ancient, ancient and ancient times, it does not simply describe the age and state of the dragon, but is directly related to the years, just like it represents the literal meaning.

There are no ancient dragons less than 800 years old. The ancient dragons start a thousand years ago. The ancient dragons are at least ancient existences that have shocked the entire continent for more than 1,200 years.

Even a mortal who lives for more than 1,200 years can become extraordinary, let alone a highly intelligent dragon that will continue to grow as long as it lives.

Even if one does not have the power to destroy the world, it cannot be measured by common sense. It is not uncommon to have thirty+ hit dice or even a large number of professional levels.

This depends on his reputation and wealth.

One thing is certain, that is, the greater the reputation of the dragon, the more extraordinary its strength is.

Fei Yan is not the most famous among the ancient red dragons. Not to mention the Dragon of the Gods, Tchazzar. Even Klaus, who is known as the Roaring Old Dragon and is so powerful in the North, cannot compare to him. However, He is definitely not an unknown person, mainly because he has not been seen for a century.

There are legends that he is dead, and there are also legends that he has left Faerûn and gone to other material planes or inner planes to cause trouble.

But Gavin knew that this ancient red dragon neither died nor left Faerûn, but entered dragon sleep in one of his lairs. In 1373, he would be killed by the Lich Samar, the leader of the Dragon Worship Cult. Stur woke up from the dragon madness rolled up, succumbed to the influence of dragon madness, and burned all the way to the vicinity of the Lake of Steam. In Selmer City and Minta City, he used his dragon breath to wash the ground, set the entire city on fire, and killed everyone. More than half of the residents of each city disappeared without a trace again.

Just be careful and don't wake this guy up. You can't stop planting beans just because you heard a rabbit calling.

If this were the case, there would be no need for him to develop. There were similarly powerful beings in most places in Faerûn.

Gavin's cold reaction made Village Chief Jinbao somewhat embarrassed. He laughed and said, "I'm overthinking it. Since the Baron can recruit kobolds as servants on a large scale, he must have known about this aspect for a long time. Those ancient red Dragons often sleep for centuries. Who knows when they will wake up next. The main reason is that the Giant Plains are dominated by monsters. It is not easy to meet a more normal neighbor. I don't want your city to be destroyed. ”

"The dwarfs are a bunch of damn dwarfs."

"The gnomes are a bunch of damn liars, the real good gnomes are the dead gnomes, kill them all."

"How come a bunch of dwarfs have the guts to come to our city?"

"We should warn the kobold king that all gnomes are liars and don't be fooled by their sweet words."

Seeing the dwarf convoy, the reaction of the kobolds was somewhat fierce. There was a fierce light in their eyes that could not be concealed. Many of them couldn't help but gathered around them. Some even took off their slings. If it weren't for Gai, Wen and Shanobah stood side by side with them, probably already starting to attack.

Gavin looked at Chief Jinbao with some surprise and said, "Has your village of Querosa provoked the kobolds in the Troll Mountains before?"

There was helplessness that could not be concealed on the face of the dwarf village chief, "The hatred between kobolds and dwarfs does not originate from the world, but from our racial gods, our racial gods, the vigilant protector Galglisten Gold , once because of a joke, the original cave of Kurtumak, the god of the kobold race, was collapsed. From that time on, all kobolds had a natural hatred and distrust of dwarfs, and our territory It is easy for overlap to occur, and naturally conflicts are more likely to occur. I can guarantee that since the establishment of our Querosai Village, we have not had any conflicts with anyone, including the kobolds in the Troll Mountains."

"So that's it." Gavin nodded in understanding, "As long as there is no direct conflict between you, it will be easy to handle. Lord Sanoba, you don't need me to teach you what to do next, right?"

The black dragon girl held her head high and said: "No need, because since joining the Dwarf Statue City, they no longer need the god of the race. They only have one belief, and that is the Dragon Oak Territory, and that is the Lord."

"It's not me, it's the Dragon Oak Mother Tree." Gavin corrected him. He wanted to reshape a race, not only in terms of body, but also in terms of soul and belief. He wanted to shape the Dragon Oak Mother Tree into the new belief of the kobolds in his territory. What has been decided from the very beginning, the Dragon Oak Mother Tree has also shown its potential in this regard, because she can carry the soul imprint. After the Dragon Oak Dreamland is opened, it can directly carry the soul.

Experiments have proven that the souls of the kobolds who left their soul marks on the Dragon Oak Mother Tree will no longer go to the kingdom of the god of their race after death, but will go to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree and the Dragon Oak Dreamland, where they will appear as dream spirits. appear in the form.

Now that the Dragon Oak Mother Tree is in an upgrading state, Gavin cannot channel her power. Otherwise, in the previous scene, the Dragon Oak Mother Tree would inevitably intervene and take the opportunity to collect a wave of kobold soul marks.

You can make up for this matter afterwards, so you don’t have to worry too much about waste.

Just look at the reaction of the kobolds from the Dragon Oak Territory. They just looked at these dwarfs with vigilance and did not show the hatred that came from their bones.

"Understood, loyalty belongs to the Lord, and faith belongs to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree." The black dragon girl corrected her obediently.

After listening to their conversation, Jinbao swallowed his saliva involuntarily and said, "Aren't you afraid of incurring the anger and revenge of Kurtumak, the god of the kobolds, by doing this?"

Compared to their direct digging into the corner of Kurmatuk's faith, Garshanjin's destruction of the other party's original cave of ascension can be forgiven.

Gavin showed a cunning smile and said, "We just let these kobolds have one more belief. We have not completely denied the fact that Kurtumak is the god of the kobold race, nor have we ever denied that he is the origin of the entire kobold race. Where does his anger come from? The instinct of the kobolds to serve the dragon is also given by him. Our behavior of strengthening the kobold race is to honor him. Even if we are dissatisfied in our hearts, we will be patient because of this."

There is a subtle difference between the god of race and the god of faith.

The former is often related to the origin of this species. In myths and legends, they are usually the first born of this race and the creator of this race. Their bodies flow with his blood and their souls have his preferences and personality.

Faith is not so important to them. What is important is the development and growth of the entire tribe. The more they are, the stronger they are.

Compared with the few kobold souls that Gavin has stolen now, the number of kobolds born due to the development and growth of his Dragon Oak Territory is greater. As long as there is no large-scale death of kobolds in Dragon Oak Territory, Kurtumark will not feel that many of his kobold souls have been stolen.

The dwarf village chief made a general praise gesture to Gavin and said, "Baron, you are smart. We look forward to your success. After all, we don't want to fight with kobolds every day. It's meaningless to do so. It's better to take advantage of each other's strengths and work together to find a better life."

"Oh, what do you mean by taking advantage of each other's strengths?" Gavin followed the topic and said, there are some things that he can't take the initiative to speak, and he has to wait for the other party to take the initiative to mention.

"My Lord Baron, you are really straightforward." Jin Bao looked around, as if afraid of being peeped, and took out a jewelry box from his arms and handed it to Gavin, saying, "Before that, please take a look at what's inside."

After taking the jewelry box, Gavin did not open it immediately, but smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should contain a magic ring or necklace made of recycled gems, right?"

In addition to being famous for their inventions, the gem craftsmen produced by their race are also the best in the whole of Faerun.

They even have a very special profession, the gem explorer.

This profession is extremely good at finding gem veins, mining various gems, and also good at processing and making gems.

This dwarf village took root in the mountains full of monsters, definitely not to run a giant farm, but for the unique gems here-troll gems.

"The Baron guessed correctly." Village Chief Jinbao nodded and admitted, "This is a regeneration ring we made using the local gemstones."

While the other party was explaining, Gavin had already opened the jewelry box. There was not just one ring inside, but a whole row of five rings.

The shape is very unique. The silver ring is covered with runes that can barely be distinguished by the naked eye. It is inlaid with carefully polished regeneration gemstones. The rings are exactly the same, but the sizes of the regeneration gemstones inlaid on them are different, ranging from the size of rice grains to the size of peanuts.

Before processing, regeneration gemstones of this size have one to five points of rapid medical ability. I wonder what effect it has after processing?

Secondary rapid medical ring: The wearer of this ring will gain one point of rapid medical ability and have the ability to treat minor injuries once a day.

This is the ability of the lowest-level regeneration gemstone ring with the size of rice grains.

After being processed by the dwarves, these gems still have their original abilities, and they also have healing spells. This ability is not only useful for oneself, but also can benefit others. Needless to say, the practicality of this ring is worth more than a thousand gold coins just for the treatment of minor injuries once a day, because the price of a bottle of potion for treating minor injuries is between thirty and fifty gold coins, which is a one-time consumable, and this ring can be used once a day, not to mention the fast medical ability it brings to the wearer.

The remaining four rings are called Intermediate Fast Medical Ring (two points of fast medical ability and one treatment for moderate injuries), Advanced Fast Medical Ring (three points of fast medical and one treatment for severe injuries), Strong Fast Medical Ring (four points of fast medical and one treatment for fatal injuries), and Extreme Fast Medical Ring (five points of fast medical and two treatments for fatal injuries).

Their value has skyrocketed from one thousand gold coins to twenty-five thousand gold coins.

That's not all. Village Chief Jinbao took out another jewelry box, which also contained five rings. The rings were inlaid with real regeneration gems, ranging from the size of corn kernels to the size of quail eggs. They were called regeneration rings.

They were also divided into five types: secondary, intermediate, advanced, strong, and extreme. In addition to the necessary abilities of the gems themselves, the first three types could also perform one to three limited regeneration spells. This regeneration spell could only reattach limbs, but could not allow the recipient to regenerate the broken limbs. Strong and extreme had the ability to use regeneration spells once or twice, respectively.

The price starts at 30,000 and doubles. The extremely effective regeneration ring can be sold for 150,000 gold coins in the market, and you have to fight for it.

Regeneration can be a seventh-ring spell that can only be used by a 14th-level priest. Needless to say, it can not only bring the dead back to life, but also continue to fight again and benefit your teammates. Although the regeneration ability is not as good as that of the trolls, the problem is that there is no fatal flaw of the trolls that is afraid of strong acid and fire.

After a rough valuation of these magic rings.

Gavin only felt a buzzing in his forehead, and he felt uncontrollable numbness from his feet to his head. That was the result of high excitement.

The troll army seized the regeneration gems, plus the regeneration gems offered by these dog-headed people, all kinds of things, he has no less than 200 in his hands.

Not to mention anything else, he has at least more than 30 regeneration gems that can be made into powerful and extremely effective regeneration rings, not to mention that there are more than a dozen regeneration gems that are larger than this specification.

If all of them were made into regeneration rings, the value would definitely exceed 10 million, which is five times higher than Gavin's initial valuation of more than 2 million.

As expected, the most profitable business in this world is never selling raw materials, but making finished products and eating up all the value.

The value of the Dwarf Statue City is far above its own valuation. If it is managed well, it would be very easy to earn millions of dollars a year for oneself.

His excited heart was about to jump out, but Gavin's body and expression were controlled by the powerful control of the Psion Master. He handed the two jewelry boxes back to the village chief Jinbao and said, "Do you want to cooperate with us and use the regeneration gems in my hand to make this kind of regeneration ring for sale?"

"Yes." The village chief of the dwarf village carefully put the two jewelry boxes back into his arms, rubbing his hands and laughing, "Baron, we are not bragging to you. No one can compare with the gem craftsmen in our Quirosa Village in understanding the characteristics of regeneration gems. We moved the entire village here for this kind of gems and studied them for a full hundred years to have the current craftsmanship. If you give us the regeneration gems you seized from the trolls, I promise that none of them will be wasted and all of them will be made into this kind of regeneration rings for you. Well, it would be even better if you can give us a few of the skeletons of those noble trolls. Regeneration gems are the best match for them."

"How is the processing fee calculated?" Gavin asked. There is no free lunch in this world.

"You provide the raw materials, we provide the craftsmanship, and we will split the profits 50-50 after the finished products are sold." Village Chief Jinbao said loudly.

"Why don't you go and rob?" It was not Gavin who spoke, but Shanoba. She didn't know the value of the regenerated gems and the rings just now, but her instinct made her feel that the price was too outrageous. "You just processed them and want to take half of the profits directly. Where in the world is such a good thing? Don't brag about yourself so much. There are many gem craftsmen in the world. I don't believe that we can't find a suitable processor after mastering the raw materials. Even if it causes waste, it doesn't matter. At least, the profits will be greater than giving it to you."

"What does the Baron mean?" Village Chief Jinbao stared at Gavin, he was the real owner of this place.

"Sanoba will be the mayor of the Dwarven Statue City. She will be in charge of all matters here in the future. I rarely get involved in matters here. If you can't convince her, our cooperation won't go smoothly." Although Gavin is not good at this, he knows how to seize the opportunity. Since Sanoba has already jumped out, let her continue to take the lead and fight with the other party over the price.

Anyway, he now knows the true value of the regeneration gemstone. With a targeted research direction, it will be much simpler. It's nothing more than a little effort. He still has a trump card in his hand - the legendary arcanist Felancini.

"This deal sounds outrageous, but our craftsmanship spans hundreds of years, and there are a lot of research expenses involved. Countless regenerated gems have been wasted, and you are just taking advantage of a ready-made product. If you don't believe me, you can find someone to study it and you will find out. The internal structure of a regenerated gem is unstable. If it is not specially processed, after long-term wear and use, once the internal power is exhausted, it will become a useless piece of waste stone. However, there is no such worry for the regenerated gems that we process into regenerated rings." In order to gain greater benefits for himself, Village Chief Jinbao could only reveal a little about the defects of the regenerated gems, "This is why the number of regenerated gems has not increased. "

"You can't let us bear the cost of your research for hundreds of years, right?" Shanoba didn't care about the cost of research and directly rejected it. "Researching regenerated gems is your own voluntary thing. It has nothing to do with us. If you have no sincerity in cooperation, the cooperation will not be reached. Your skills will be wasted. You have been researching for so many years in vain. I think you should open a high price, which is more reasonable."

"30-70, 30 for us and 70 for you. Is this okay?" Village chief Jinbao gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. He could only make a big concession. He felt that he was talking to a cow. The other party was a little stubborn and refused to accept the deal. There was no way to talk about this deal.
