Chapter 383: 500,000 Gold Coins (Supplement)

When Elrond, Wilson and others arrived one after another, the fire in the swamp had been extinguished by Carlos's ruthless output.

The air was filled with the smell of fireworks, but people's awe of the giant in the sky had reached its peak.

"What kind of monster is this?" Damon asked in shock.

Elrond looked at Carlos in the air. Since the lord allowed the other party to show up in public, it meant that it was time to show it generously.

"This is the lord's dragon."

"Dragon?"

Everyone suddenly realized that only the dragons in knight novels could be compared with the thing in front of them.

Ronin flew over.

"The huge pit contains very precious fuel. Rig, you arrange for someone to guard it. Don't let anyone approach it at will. Remember to eliminate any fire source."

Ronin's tone was very serious. "Whoever brings the fire source here, whether it is a knight or an ordinary person, will be severely punished and sold to the slave house."

"Yes, sir!"

With the lord who can fly in front and the dragon in the back, Ronin's image in everyone's mind is as tall as an insurmountable mountain.

Rig took such an order seriously.

"Wilson, organize people, we are going to mine this coal mine."

Ronin said to the political officer: "I will write down the precautions for mining and transportation and give them to you later. In addition, this fire caused more than a dozen deaths. You and Chahar will provide pensions to their families on my behalf."

He glanced at the huge pit. "Although they died, they discovered a lot of resources for us. In addition to pensions, each family will be rewarded with ten acres of arable land and ten gold coins."

"Your kindness will heal their pain."

Wilson and Chahar immediately went to the crowd to count the family information of the casualties.

This matter was soon settled.

But from today, Swamp Town has one more profession - miner.

After being transformed by earth-attribute professional knights such as Rig, this huge pit has become a relatively safe coal mine.

Although there are still risks, the higher wages have attracted many people who go to mine for a living.

Roning recorded all the risks he could think of and promoted them to the newly formed mine management team including Wilson.

At present, the demand for the use of coal mines is not very large. The mining speed can be slowed down in the early stage to allow managers and workers to get more familiar with it.

When the demand for iron smelting and other aspects increases in the later stage, the production capacity will be expanded.

With the coal mine, Roning wanted to build a steam engine more and more.

For this reason, his need to become a magician became more urgent.

Time passed, and it was March in a blink of an eye.

In the past month or so, Roning has resumed a peaceful life.

Although the appearance of the dragon made him famous in the territory, it became a bit weird when it was spread out, so that many people regarded it as a joke.

He inquired about it and found out that the people in the territory had exaggerated the story when spreading it.

For example, Carlos's body length was only a little over ten meters, but in their mouths it became a hundred meters long, as big as a mountain, and its wings spread out to directly cover half of the swamp town.

Some people also made a fuss about Carlos's identity, saying that it was not only a dragon, but also the mount of the Seven Gods, with the power of a god, not only able to speak human language, but also able to bring the dead back to life.

In short, as the story spread, it became a knight novel.

So much so that after hearing it, the caravans that came to the swamp town unconsciously regarded this matter as a folk joke, and they even doubted whether there was a giant dragon.

This situation made Ronin laugh and cry. He originally thought that many nobles would come to ask him if he really had a giant dragon.

Rapids Island.

Ronin passed by here on the way to Crystal City and stopped again.

"Sir, this is the gold coins earned from the last two ships of wood. Apart from the two months' salary of 213 gold coins, there are still 487 gold coins left."

Ronin did not accept it.

"You are the governor here. These gold coins will be left on Jiliu Island. You just need to arrange people to keep records. I will also send a financial specialist to help you deal with it later."

As he spoke, he took out two pairs of telescopes from the space ring.

"Here, this is prepared for you. Try it."

Karada put away the gold coins and took them quickly, with a puzzled look on his face, "What is this?"

Ronin demonstrated it.

Karada followed suit and looked into the distance with his eyes through the eyepiece.

"This is..."

He suddenly put down the telescope in his hand, looked at the scenery in the distance, and then raised the telescope again to observe. After repeating it twice, he finally confirmed that the thing in his hand worked.

"Sir, this thing is amazing. It can see the scenery thousands of meters away so clearly!"

Karada's brain is quite bright, and he immediately realized the value of the thing in his hand.

Whether on land or at sea, especially in battle, its value is very great.

Using it, you can see the enemy's troop deployment and defense arrangements from a distance without anyone noticing.

"What is it called?" Karada asked with burning eyes.

Ronin smiled and slowly turned the eyepiece to adjust the length.

"It's called a telescope. You can try to slowly turn the lens barrel to adjust the distance."

Karada hurriedly tried it and found that a thousand meters was not its limit. It could see farther.

"Telescope!"

He murmured the name and praised, "I admire your invention and wisdom from the bottom of my heart!"

Ronin laughed. This is just the beginning.

When he builds a steamboat and even combines it with Bellora's magic ladder drive device, it will be even more amazing.

This time, Ronin only had lunch on Rapids Island and tasted the mashed potatoes, potato chips and potato strips here before leaving.

Carlos rushed all the way and soon crossed the Howling Sea and arrived above the Crystal Castle.

"Hahaha, I sensed your arrival a long time ago!"

The great magician Bellora had been waiting in the air for a long time. This time, no one knew where he set the perception barrier.

"Mr. Bellora, the remaining dragon scales are here."

Ronin said, throwing the backpack to the other party.

Bellora couldn't wait to open the backpack to check the goods. No more, no less, a full fifteen dragon scales.

"Did you use up the four last time? How was the result of the production?" Ronin asked.

After hearing this question, even though Bellola was over a hundred years old, he couldn't help but blush. He put away his backpack.

Roning discovered that the other party seemed to have a container with space attributes.

"Don't mention it, all failed!"

He said in annoyance: "Making this potion requires a burst of magic power, and then it is controlled by the potion. If it is not done well, it will go wrong."

"So difficult?"

Roning did not doubt the other party's level of making magic potions. The continuous failure must be due to the high difficulty of making.

"Don't worry, I now have experience in handling these two stages, and I believe it will succeed soon!"

At this point, he unconsciously looked at the backpack in his hand. Are fifteen dragon scales enough?

"Roning, if Mr. Carlos has more scales falling off in the future, you have to sell me some more!"

"Don't worry, you are probably the only one in the entire Orlant continent who can use dragon scales. If I don't sell it to you, who else can I sell it to?"

These words made Bellola happy.

"Let's not talk in the air. Let's go. I've prepared 500,000 gold coins for you!"

"Haha, OK!"

Ronin used the Wings of Wind and followed him to the ninth floor of the Mage Tower.

500,000 gold coins sounds like a lot, but it can only be put into a few large boxes.

If they are stacked neatly, it will be less than three cubic meters.

"Everything is here, count it."

Belora smiled and opened the box, and the golden light illuminated the room. "I won't accompany you. If you need it, you can ask someone to find Franz or my grandson Randall."

All this time, the other party never mentioned his son.

It's not that his son is not in Crystal City, but that his son has passed away first.

In the face of the long life of the Great Mage of at least 200 years, it is normal for ordinary people or descendants of low-powered extraordinary people to die first.

Ronin has seen the impatience on the other party's face and knows what the other party wants to do.

"You are busy, you are busy!"

Belora was not vague at all. He went up to the top floor with his backpack and began his new round of retreat.

"This guy is a research and development maniac, and he's not afraid of me touching his stuff."

He turned his eyes to the gold coins in front of him and put them all into the space ring.

The familiar words appeared. (End of this chapter)
