Chapter 57: Sharpening the Knife to the Withered Beard
You must have dreams, what if they come true?
The dream was so beautiful. Jialin wiped the wet corners of his mouth and retracted his imagination of the future.
Looking up, I saw that the basin cleaning work was almost finished. Looking back at Gandalf, he had already completed his work, bringing a thousand farmers from Minas Tirith here through mass teleportation across hundreds of kilometers.
Gandalf had a hard time this time, mainly because he was in a hurry. Otherwise, once the town hall was completed, he could just use a return scroll to transport a thousand farmers all at once.
It is worth mentioning that after upgrading the second-level main city, new items are unlocked in the secret treasury.
Health Potion: A single-use item that instantly restores 250 health points to the user. Sold for 150 gold. (Stock: 3)
Magic Potion: A one-time item that instantly restores 150 mana points to the user. Price: 200 gold. (Stock: 2)
Return Scroll: Teleports the user and units around the user to a designated location. Price: 350 gold. (Stock: 2)
Ivory Tower: A one-time item that builds a sentry tower at a specified location. The sentry tower can be upgraded. Price: 30 units of gold, 20 units of wood. (Stock: 3)
The above four items are new products in the Secret Vault. Since the four items were unlocked in the store, Garin has started to buy and stock up. After they are sold out, the production staff in the Secret Vault can basically replenish the stock within four or five days.
In fact, Garin accidentally tricked Gandalf. Originally in the game, the return scroll can only return to your own town or the town of a friendly army. But in reality, the return scroll is divided into two parts, one is the main body, which can be torn apart when used, and the default teleportation point is your own town.
Another one is the coordinate stone. Once the coordinate stone is placed and activated, when you use the return scroll, it will not be the default main base, but the location of the coordinate stone.
But Garin didn't study it carefully and was busy hoarding goods. But even if he knew, he couldn't tell it, after all, it was 350 units of gold.
How great it would be to use Gandalf's group teleportation, it's free, no money required!
And Garin discovered that the Heart of Origin base had its own set of numerical calculation methods. For example, the recovery values on life potions and magic potions were calculated based on the overall number of heroes in the base.
The ninth-level Gandalf currently has only more than 800 health points, and the eighth-level Aragorn has just over 1,000 health points, so health potions and magic potions are mainly used by the base heroes.
However, the life potion can also be used by creatures in Azeroth. Garen has conducted experiments using captured velociraptors, and found that ordinary sword wounds can be healed quickly by taking a sip of the healing potion.
I just don't know how much health the native strongmen of Azeroth can have using the calculation method of the Heart of Origin?
Once I have pacified the trolls in Arathi Highlands and the rear area is stabilized, I can begin to experiment with the effects of life scrolls, life potions, and magic potions on the humans of Azeroth. If the effects are good, I can use them for trade in small quantities.
Another hour passed, and the soldiers finished the battle and began to clean up the battlefield. Garin asked the farmers to come in and help collect spider venom sacs and spider silk sacs. These were all excellent raw materials for alchemy and magic experiments. If they didn't need them, they could sell them and make money.
Garin wished he could have millions of gold coins to recharge immediately, and wished he could enter greedisgood immediately and enter it again after using it up.
He was almost obsessed with money, and now he was Galen Money-grubbing Trollbane.
The infantry and musketeers patrolled the area again and stabbed the half-dead spiders a few more times. The basin was filled with spider corpses, and an entire colony of spiders was wiped out by the Red Flame Army.
After several battles, more than half of the two thousand earliest infantrymen and musketeers have accumulated enough experience to be upgraded to fourth-level troops.
Don't underestimate the difference in levels. Levels one to three belong to the initial stage among professionals, and reaching level four means you are a mid-level professional. This is a qualitative leap, and your physique and strength will be greatly enhanced.
More than a thousand farmers entered the battlefield and it took half a day to clean up the battlefield. The spider venom sacs, silk sacs, and unhatched spider eggs were collected and sorted out and placed next to Garin.
The spider corpses were cleaned up and piled outside the basin. Thousands of spiders piled up into several small hills. What awaited them was a fire that would burn them all clean.
Not everyone can eat grilled spider legs, even though they taste chickeny and are crispy.
At noon, a town hall began to be built in the center of the basin. This town hall was not used to collect resources. It was mainly because after the town was established in the future, there would not only be base personnel but also highland people. The town would need a municipal hall to handle town government affairs.
Another point is that building a town hall in a base is much faster than building it with stone. It can serve as a government office and train farmers, killing two birds with one stone.
At the northernmost part of the basin, near the foot of the Alterac Mountains, Garin also deployed a town hall. This hall was used for mining. Garin remembered that there was a cave behind the town of Hammerfall in later generations, just at the foot of the mountain to the north of the basin.
The town hall in the center was being knocked by a farmer, while the hall to the north had a dozen farmers knocking together, and a lumber mill was also being built at the same time.
The sooner the project was completed, the sooner the mining could be started. The extra gold and timber losses could be made up by the farmers starting mining a day earlier. After all, one hundred and eighty hours was too long to build a town hall.
The town hall for mining was completed by dark, so Garin didn't have to sleep in a tent tonight. The sawmill had been completed long ago and was put into use. Except for the farmers who were preparing dinner and setting up tents, everyone else was temporarily cutting wood in the Alterac Mountains.
After a raptor-roasting party with the peasant soldiers, Garin returned to the town hall to rest, leaving the team under the command of Gandalf.
Do you know the feeling of being rich one moment and having an empty wallet the next?
Garin knew.
That's the feeling of heartache.
There is also emptiness.
The moment before, there were four boxes full of gold coins, bright yellow and glittering, and the next second they turned into golden mist and were absorbed by the town hall.
Eighty thousand units of gold instantly appeared in the base's resource list. Combined with the accumulated wood, it was enough to build a thousand farms.
Calculating the time, it would only take Amor and his troops twenty days at most to march from Stromgarde to Garin's camp, take the Kingdom Highway, and then turn to the road north of Geshak Farm.
Now a day has passed, and I must complete the construction of the farm and the outpost within ten days. The city wall will be built by simply piling up huge stones, so there is no need to rush.
A week later, the town hall in the center of the basin was completed and farmer training officially began.
The entire town has taken shape, and mining has officially begun in the caves to the north. The base accepts all gold and silver mines, and converts them all into gold energy.
Garin arranged two hundred people to build farms, and five hundred have been completed. One hundred people are building watchtowers and the walls connecting the watchtowers, but the progress is slow. After all, the walls are not part of the base building, and they can only be completed slowly.
More than 600 farmers have been engaged in mining and logging.
The remaining one hundred farmers were assigned to the newly built farms to grow magical wheat. The newly trained farmers from the two town halls were also assigned to the empty farms to grow food.
This third extension has begun to produce gold, wood and food, and will soon be self-sufficient.
Finally, shortly after the construction of a thousand farms was completed, Amor led his troops into the patrol range of Aragon's team, a few days earlier than Garin expected.
Looking at this team of 3,000 people, their faces were covered in dust after marching for nearly fifteen days, but they were still in neat order.
The next step of the plan can be implemented!
Kuxu Canyon is mine!
Double mine! Here I come!
