Lucy's account book is very clear, and every expense and income is clear at a glance.
Link quickly flipped through it, and had a detailed understanding of the financial situation of the territory.
Because of the clay mines, the revenue of the Field City Hall is extremely high, but the money is also spent super fast. Crazy city construction, and a fight with the Dronco Kingdom in the south.
Another large expenditure is the military supplies for the Orida Fortress in the north. During the decisive battle, various materials were transported from the south, and 60% of the military supplies were borne by the Field Territory.
This speed is no longer described as flowing water, it is simply a flood.
In this case, the clay mines are mined at an almost crazy rate, and then distributed to every corner of the Ferroman world.
In the ledger, Link saw that many buyers of clay were orcs from the Golden Plains. These guys drove crude pointed merchant ships and circumnavigated most of the coastline of the mainland. It can be said that they came from thousands of miles to do business. .
As a result, in less than a year and a half, the clay mine was almost completely mined.
Lucy said seriously: "My lord, at the current speed, the clay mine can only be mined for two months at most. After two months, if there is no new source of finance for Scorched Earth City, the construction speed must be greatly reduced, otherwise the finance will completely collapse. .”
"Well, this is indeed a problem." Link put the ledger on the table and turned to look at the window. This is the top floor of the magic tower. With his eyesight, he can see the vast sea from here.
"When I set off last time, I mentioned the matter of the Rotating Magneto Burning Iron Island. Have you sent a ship to detect it?"
Lucy nodded, and she took out another scroll: "This is the second thing I want to talk about today. We have found the island, but the situation is not good. When we went, we saw the yew tree war of the high elves Ship, there are high elf miners mining on the magic iron island... "
When Link heard this, he scolded his mother in his heart. These high elves are so troublesome. He couldn't help but patted his forehead: "Oh, I'm to blame for this. I should have told you about it earlier... What is this scroll? ?”
"It's the precise sea chart of the mainland measured by our crew, please take a look."
Link opened the scroll, and it was indeed a sea map. The shape of the coastline made Link feel very familiar. After thinking about it, it was almost exactly the same as the map in the game. It seemed that the sea map was very accurate and worthy of a precise description.
The chart marked all the detected islands, trade wind belts, ocean currents, etc. off the coast of Field Territory. For those captains, this was something worth a million dollars.
On the picture, Link also saw the conditions of Chenxi Island, Field Territory, and Gyromagnetic Pyrogenite Mine Island. He visually checked and found that the distance between Gyromagnetic Pyromagnetic Pyrogenite Mine and Field's coastline is estimated to be more than 500 kilometers away from Chenxi Island. The most southwest corner is about 480 kilometers, which is almost the center line of both sides, and it is a little closer to Chenxi Island.
Then this matter is a bit unclear. To be honest, this island still belongs to the high elves.
But the value of the gyromagnetic burning iron ore is extremely high, so it is really not reconciled to give up like this
Link put the chart on the table, tapped his fingers lightly, 'beep~~beep~~beep~~', the sound rang out regularly. Lucy sat aside subconsciously holding her breath, folded her hands on her knees, and waited for Link to make a decision.
Although she was already the chief executive in Scorched Earth City, in front of Link, she felt that she was still a female mercenary in the past, and the majesty of this young master was getting stronger and stronger.
About two minutes later, Link had made up his mind and said, "This island... can't be let go."
Lucy cheered up: "Are you going to start a war?"
After more than a year of development, Field's navy has become quite powerful. It currently has 7 large three-masted magic warships. Recently, Jobers joined them. There are more magic artillery and musketeers on the battleships, and the strength has increased by a large amount. cut.
In today's sea area, the Field Navy is already a force that cannot be ignored, but they have no status. The reason is very simple, because this navy has never fought, let alone seen blood, and is jokingly called by the lords of the surrounding areas Scouts, a very limited deterrent to pirates.
If you can fight with the high elves of the naval power, you only need a local skirmish, as long as it is not a disastrous defeat, then the reputation of the Field Navy will rise.
Link smiled and shook his head: "No, no, how can we start the war lightly."
"Then how do you grab it? The high elves have already started mining." Lucy asked. How could the other party give up such a good thing if the other party is not stupid and does not fight
Link smiled and shook his head, stood up, walked to the window of the hall, looked at the dark clouds in the sky, and suddenly sighed: "One year has passed, and it's early summer again."
Lucy was a little confused, and subconsciously echoed: "Yeah, time is pretty fast."
"Looking at the weather, there may be a hurricane coming recently. You pass my order to the commander of the navy and ask him to prepare the fleet immediately and be ready to sail to the mine island at any time."
Lucy was still puzzled: "But Master Glenn Xi said in the morning that there will be no hurricanes during this time."
Master Glenn Xi is very knowledgeable about the laws of climate change. He has almost become Field's weather forecaster recently. He will announce in advance any bad weather, which saves the territory from a lot of losses.
Now, many captains have to inquire about the weather forecast of Master Glenci before going to sea, so that they can go to sea with peace of mind.
Link laughed: "No, no, no, Master Glentin's prediction was wrong."
Lucy was speechless to refute. My lord is a legendary magician, and Master Glenn is now a level 7 magician. There is a huge difference in strength between the two sides. If he said that Glenn was wrong, it must be wrong.
"Then I'll issue a hurricane warning."
"Okay, you go. Remember to get the navy ready to sail, and we will land on the island as soon as the hurricane is over."
After hearing this sentence, Lucy's mind flashed, as if she had grasped something, but she couldn't think of the details for a while, she was in a daze for a while, her heart was shocked, her eyes lit up, and she asked: "Could it be... "
Link waved his hand gently: "Just know it, don't say it. Remember, we don't know anything, it's just luck. Of course, we move very fast!"
"Got it!" Lucy left with shock in her heart.
After Lucy left, Link returned to the table, continued to look at the chart, looked at it, patted his forehead lightly, and sighed: "Resources will always be mined, I want to maintain the current prosperity , Field must have his own strengths."
Leaning halfway on his recliner, gently shaking the mage's hand, Link stared at the energetic Field territory outside the window, lost in thought.
After a while, he suddenly stood up, took out a blank scroll, wrote the word 'enchantment' on the cover in rune fonts, and finally wrote 'Link Morani' in small characters on the lower right corner .
He decided to develop an enchanting workshop in Field's territory to grab the business of the high elves!
After finishing writing, he opened the scroll, and Link calmed down. His enchanting land is famous, and he is known for his exquisite and perfect works. Even the enchanting masters of Dawn Island are ashamed.
In terms of magic theory, Link has been exposed to rune enchanting, high elf modern enchanting, dragon enchanting, etc., and his vision is extremely broad. These enchanting theories have been fermenting in his heart. As he was promoted to a legendary powerhouse, the enchanting system in his heart also has matured.
After a little deliberation, Link began to write.
The preface was not written. This is his first magic book, and he plans to leave it to his first mentor, Verola, to write it as a show of respect.
At this time, this enchantment has been fully brewed and matured in Link's mind. As soon as Link started to write, his thoughts flowed out like flowing water.
In just one hour, the general outline of enchanting was completed, and Link went back to revise it. After two revisions, the general outline was completed. The full text is 36,873 words, every word is pearls, adding a word is redundant, Deleting one word is not enough.
After writing the general outline, Link wrote a second book, and the title of the second book was "Elementary Enchanting"
This book is also simple, but the content is cumbersome. Link calmed down and wrote it bit by bit, trying to be as simple and straightforward as possible so that people can understand it at a glance.
Time passed quickly, and when Link finished the first draft of "Elementary Enchanting", it was already dark. He moved his ears, and suddenly heard familiar footsteps.
"There are three people here, one is Celine, one is Yake, and the other is Lucy, well, they should be ready."
From the voice, Link knew that the three of them had reached the door, and with a thought, the door opened.
Celine walked in with a big musket, smiling like a flower. After seeing Link, she quickened her pace and walked a few steps. In front of Lucy and Yake, she kissed Link's lips. How embarrassing.
After a while, Celine let go of Link, half annoyed and half resentful: "Ah, don't notify me when you come back, I miss you so much during this time."
"Haha, it's only been over a month." Link patted Celine on the back and said with a smile, "Sit down, Lucy, Yake, you sit too."
After everyone sat down, Yake said: "My lord, everything is ready, when shall we start?"
I heard that a valuable gyromagnetic pyrite mine was occupied by the high elves, and it was the mine island that the adults discovered first. As soon as Yake knew that it was almost blown up at that time, he almost went to fight the high elves on the spot.
He is also a level 7 fighter now, and Field has money, so whoever is afraid of fighting, but Link is not here, the high elf is a strong opponent after all, he can only endure.
Now that he heard that Link was going to grab the island, he was so excited. He had long disliked the group of high elves whose eyes were above the top.
Link put away the half-written enchantment, and said with a smile: "I think it's good now, and we can start now."
Celine on the side said: "Let's say it first, I want to participate too, how can such a thing be missing me?"
"Okay, I won't miss you, and you will also participate."
Then, Link made 4 rune stones for communication on the spot, distributed one to Yake and Celine, kept one for himself, and left one for the naval commander in the harbor.
"Get ready, Lucy, the high elves in Feld may come to you to protest later, so get ready."
"No problem, I don't know anything." Lucy said with a smile.
"Okay, then let's do it, I will start first, you wait for my signal."
As he spoke, Link stood up, and a white light appeared on his body. A moment later, he reached the rooftop, and then he whistled lightly. A minute later, an invisible red dragon descended from the sky, and it was Feliena.
"What are your orders, Your Excellency the Duke?"
"Take me to the surface of the sea." Link jumped on Felena's back, and at the same time released an invisibility technique for himself, which would shock the world.
"Wow~" Feliena spread her wings and flew towards the sea.
