Salin looked at the excited faces. Except for Aini and Gu Ya, the others were extremely satisfied with the conditions he gave. Www,QuAnBen-XIaoShuo,CoM's bundling strategy is successful, what do the nobles want? It is a position that is in line with one's abilities.
Aini and Gu Ya are both magicians and understand what Salin wants to do, but their pursuit is different from other nobles, so of course they won't resent it. Anyway, Aini and Salin have a good relationship, and Salin has a good relationship with Aini's parents. Gu Ya's sister is also the focus of Salin's cultivation. Her future achievements may not be lower than Gu Ya's. These two people are actually the ones Salin values the most. They all understood that only by controlling the magician could Salin control everything.
Without Saleen's mages, these nobles are nothing. If there are enough materials, the magician does not need a gold coin. A senior mage can make food, drink water, and even eat without spending money.
Among the tenth-level magic, one is the most common, and almost every ninth-level magician learns it, and that is elemental essence. This is a paste-like substance. In addition to treatment, its greatest effect is that it can make the magician go without food for several months and still maintain his physical strength. One portion of elemental essence can be roughly divided into four standard quantities. Making one portion allows a magician to persist for more than a year without having to do anything except magic practice.
So by the tenth level, the magic cleaner is almost out of the human category, and his body strength begins to change. As long as he takes elemental essence for a long time, the magician's body can be as strong as some high-level monsters.
At this point, magicians no longer need supplies from ordinary people.
But human beings cannot lack magicians. Without magicians, humans cannot build huge cities, cannot cultivate large areas, and cannot prevent the spread of diseases and plagues. Without magicians, human cities would be destroyed by powerful monsters. If creatures from other planes arrived, many creatures from this plane would become extinct.
Saleen distributed the wealth, but these people could not get the magician.
For hunting in the frozen sea, Salin conservatively estimated that investing one million gold coins a year would be enough. As for the return, he planned to hunt 200,000 red krill every year. So many red krill are just to support a few huge level nine monsters, and will not have any impact on the balance of the frozen sea. If he takes the risk, Saleen can increase the number of hunts several times.
Saleen wholesales the magic cores of 200,000 red krill a year at a price of 100 gold coins each, which is 20 million gold coins. Twenty million gold coins per year, although not as much as Holy Rock City, but Salin does not have much land, and it is obtained entirely by hunting.
Twenty million gold coins were enough for Salin to raise an army of one million.
It turns out that Saleen had difficulty selling these magic cores. Now that the nobles are sharing 80% of the sales for him, he can just sit on the ground and divide the money.
Salin had actually prepared the detailed distribution principles a long time ago. Since everyone had no objections to the general direction, the details could be discussed with Daniel.
Daniel was also very happy. Originally, the Vatican was hunting down necromancers, but now he is no longer the first target. At least before killing Nicholas, the Vatican will not be in the mood to target any necromancers.
Salin did not leave, but started talking quietly to the people around him. Such communication is always necessary, especially with the Twelve Earls. The four dukes can still visit at any time, but the other nobles can only negotiate with Daniel first.
Saleen used the shortest time to understand what everyone was lacking. Because the magic cores resold last year had returned funds, these nobles were not short of gold coins, and Saleen's food supply was also very stable, but the nobles still lacked supply. Of course, what is even more lacking is land. They now have to support their own farmers.
Salin communicated with these nobles and felt that it was too late to cultivate food this year, but he could grow vegetables. After the vegetable seeds are processed by the magic apprentice, they can be harvested in a month. Salin promised to purchase all the vegetables and provide processing of vegetable seeds. In this way, the nobles no longer had to support farmers in vain.
Saleen had given so many benefits, so of course the nobles wanted to reciprocate. Salin did not open many shops in Metatrin City, but he still had to build some in small towns on trade routes and in cities outside Metatrin City. The nobles provide manpower to help Salin train merchants, and Salin provides magic apprentices to the nobles.
After the meeting, everyone was very satisfied. At this time, another soldier came to report that there was a skeleton warship coming back from the port.
Salin then left the conference hall and came to the port. It was Wing Skeleton's order for the bone warships to go to sea. However, these bone warships were only commanded by Jade Skull and lacked human professionals, so they did not dare to go to the frozen sea. Hunting and patrolling offshore are the tasks of these bone warships.
The two bone warships came back and hunted a large number of low-level monsters.
The number of monsters in the sea is difficult to estimate, especially low-level monsters. A group of monsters can be in the tens of thousands at least. The lower the level, the greater the number. These low-level monsters provide ample food for the powerful monsters in the sea, and are also Salin's best prey. This time, the two bone warships encountered low-level monsters like Barracuda. Barracuda levels vary
, the lowest level is level one, the highest level is level three, and all adults are level two. The two bone warships had little space equipment, but they each caught forty to fifty thousand barracudas. The barracuda is not big and can fit in the warehouse. The Jade Skeletons on the ship are also intelligent undead of the fifth to sixth levels, and they will continue to advance under the training of the Winged Skeletons. However, the advancement of the undead would be extremely slow if it relied solely on natural progress.
Barracuda is a creature with a magic core, its skin is extremely tough, and it swims very fast. This time, it was trapped in a trap set by two bone warships. Nearly a hundred thousand barracudas, in addition to the magic core, the fish skin is enough to make tens of thousands of pairs of boots.
Saleen's army is located in the north, and military boots must not only be waterproof but also cold-proof. This barracuda lives in cold waters, and its skin is the best material for insulating against heat. Despite the waste, Salin had no plans to do anything else with the materials.
Salin kept these low-level magic cores and had no intention of selling them. After all, the market for low-level magic cores is larger, but the income is small. The profits of the nobles will also be spread out, and there is not much meaning in transportation.
Salin looked at the busy figures on the dock and sighed in his heart. Now that I have an additional way to earn income from magic cores, the price of magic cores in the Qin Yin Empire will drop sooner or later. And if the quantity can be guaranteed, many magicians will also increase the speed of practice. Alchemy City releases 20% of its magic core every year because it is afraid that the number of magicians on the mainland will decrease drastically.
Saleen has not yet considered increasing the number of hunting talismans. First, he does not yet know to what extent he has to be considered over-hunting. If too many intermediate-level monsters are hunted, the number of monsters in the sea will be difficult to recover. This needs to be explored gradually. Many of the monsters on the mainland have become extinct because of human hunting. Salin doesn't want the same to happen in the sea. If that happens, the magician will have no way to survive in the future.
There is also a warehouse on the dock, but these magic cores cannot be sent for storage. Daniel is continuing to negotiate with the nobles, and Nellis is in charge of the affairs next to Salin.
Nailis commanded two demons, along with the undead and Caucasian soldiers, to escort the unprocessed barracuda to the underground cold storage first. There, the prey will be further processed, the magic core will be broken down, and the magic beast skin will also be carefully peeled off. Many monsters' teeth and bones are also useful, as are barracuda's.
After Salin, the main army's bows, crossbows and arrows will rely on these monsters. Although metal ones are more durable, they are too troublesome for magicians to handle. In comparison, the cost of these bones is slightly lower. Refining the bones of monsters is much more effective than using magic to refine steel. Most of the magicians and heavy infantrymen of the expeditionary force were killed by alchemical arrows.
The jade skeletons on the two ships did not see Salin, so Salin chose a fortress. The jade skull saluted Salin, and then Salin felt that the two undead were very intelligent. They are not summoned creatures that simply listen to orders, but like the Winged Skeletons, they can act independently. "My Lord, Master Bing went to the Frozen Sea alone and asked us to escort the goods back. There are some prey here, please check them." The two jade skeletons each handed over the space equipment. "Can you use this too?" "Yes, it's just that the space inside is not very big, only important things are hidden." Jade Skull replied. "What else did the soldier tell you?"
"Your Majesty said, let us pay attention to pirates, and when we come back, we will go south to escort our ships. Your Majesty also told the Lord that he will not go deep into the frozen sea this time, and will be back in about two and a half months."
Salin saw that the two winged skeletons were equipped with ordinary white bone armor, and asked: "Why are your equipment so poor?" "Master Bing doesn't have time to refine it. To talk about this matter, I have to ask the lord to do it himself." That's good.
Saleen thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. Although Winged Skeleton's spirit alchemy was good, it was time-consuming. It's better to use water-flame alchemy to help him solve it quickly. "How many brothers do you have now?" Salin asked about the number of jade skeletons. "It's almost a hundred. Lord Bing won't make too many. He said one hundred is the limit." "Well, you two go to work first. Later, I will refine a hundred sets of armor suitable for you. You have If you have any special needs, tell me now." "Lord, what we undead are most afraid of is the difficulty in obtaining power from the undead plane. It would be great if there were green ghost gems on the lead armor. If not, obsidian can also be accepted." What about weapons?" "Lord, we are skeletons. We can use anything that humans can use. But... it's best not to use any metal materials. We can also use magic."
Saleen smiled. The skeleton's tone was no different from that of a human being. He would also be nervous when making requests.
But the Jade Skull gave him good news. They all know magic. In other words, the Winged Skull will create a hundred intermediate magicians for themselves. These magicians have good hand-to-hand combat abilities. . . mF! ~!
