The Black Well Town maintained the initial model, maintaining its supply through the large amount of food consumed by human merchants, and then selling iron ore at a relatively low price, due to the participation of dozens of giant tree people. The amount of iron ore mined from the Black Well doubled again, and then entered a bottleneck period. Although it was growing, it was very slow. Let the Black Well maintain a profit, but not too exaggerated. In the final analysis, it was still for the sake of keeping a low profile and silence. Although some iron ore was mined, it was piled up in the depths of the mine and was not transported out. Even the iron and steel furnaces made by the earth elves were dismantled overnight and destroyed. Feng Gedahast's visit made Gavin suddenly realize a truth. Eat as much as you can, and never eat more before you have the ability to match it, otherwise you will die quickly and miserably. The reason why the Black Well can develop is not because of how outstanding its vision is or how strong its ability is. Instead, they stumbled upon the right path at the beginning, allowing everyone to make money and share the benefits. They just acquiesced to the development and growth of Black Well.
Including Red Crow, which seemed to be in competition with them, also got a share of Black Well. Gaolu became active, and their hiring tasks naturally increased. Some part-time merchants even ran the Black Well route. They made a lot of money in just a few trips, thus attracting more Red Crow mercenaries to join this ranks. There are now two caravans with the largest trading volume with Black Well Iron Mine, one is Qianshou, an old relationship at the beginning, and the other is Red Crow. If Gavin can make iron smelting and ore smelting, and then organize his own caravan to monopolize all the benefits, then he will be enemies all over the world in Rock Land and will be unable to move forward. Before there is a matching ability, it is better to temporarily suppress this idea. This does not mean that Gavin stopped exploring iron smelting and steelmaking, but moved the relevant experiments to Eagle Cliff Town, tried on a small scale, accumulated as much experience as possible, and when the time is right, it will not be too late to carry out large-scale operations. With the arrival of the Purple Dragon Patrol, this profit division model has been further solidified. These elite patrols have shown their fame. Not only are they all professionals, they are also eager to fight. After arriving, they did not wait for things to happen, but took the initiative to attack and repeatedly plowed the mountains on both sides of the high road. No matter whether it is a monster nest or a bandit nest, no matter the reason, they will all be flattened. These forces have not been much after the tossing of Longxiangling in the past six months, and now they have completely disappeared. Near the Black Well Iron Mine Trade Square, there are two (100-man) Purple Dragon Patrols squatting all year round, which is a kind of surveillance and protection for Black Well Town. In addition to more than 100 dog-headed militiamen and defense equipment, Gavin did not retain too much defense here. Now no one dares to touch Black Well Town, because touching here is equivalent to touching the cake of the Kingdom of Cormier, and it will be destroyed in minutes. Although the confidentiality of Eagle Cliff Town is not that high, it does not have direct contact with the outside world. Whether it is the dog-headed people who come here directly or come to Black Well Town and then transfer here, they are like entering a bottomless pit and will never be seen again. Whether it is Eagle Cliff Town or Black Well Town, the number of dog-headed people has always remained at around 5,000. This size is enough to resist most peepers, but it will not be too eye-catching, and it can also create value to the greatest extent. The excess dog-headed people naturally entered the Dragon Oak Mother Tree through the Dragon Oak Portal. The size of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree is too large, and the number of dog-headed people transferred here has reached 20,000. Less than one-third of the entire dark area inside has been developed.
It should not be a problem to settle 100,000 dog-headed people here. This goal cannot be achieved in a short time. The dog-headed tribes in the Dragon Oak Territory have been almost merged by them. They are silent in the material plane, and when they do not stir up trouble, not many dog-headed people have taken the initiative to come and join them. Now the population growth of dog-headed people mainly relies on self-reproduction. With sufficient supplies and safety guarantees. The dog-headed people showed their greatest ability to reproduce in this dangerous world - they can give birth. The gestation period of a female dog-headed person is only three months, and she lays at least three eggs at a time, and as many as five or six eggs. After laying eggs, she can conceive within ten days. If there is no limit, a female dog-headed person can give birth to at least ten little dog-headed people a year. The hatching area in the dragon oak dragon nest has been expanded again and again, from two to five, and is still under further expansion. The ultimate goal should be ten. Each hatching area can accommodate two thousand dog-headed people eggs for hatching at the same time. Within half a year, the number of little dog-headed people in the dragon oak mother tree will far exceed that of adult dog-headed people. For this reason, Gavin had to implement family planning and eugenics policies for the dog-headed people. The birth rate of the dog-headed people should follow their own development pace, rather than affecting their own development pace and becoming a burden on themselves. This year, the number of kobolds in the dragon oak mother tree, including one pack, can be kept at around 50,000. Any more will easily have a counterproductive effect. Virginia is busy transplanting fruit trees and reclaiming land for planting. They have proved with practical actions that as long as the elves are willing, they are the best farmers in the world, no doubt about it. Just as Gavin guessed, those fruit trees were driven all the way here by the druids and tree people using their ability to activate trees. These fruit trees were artificially selected, and the high-quality ones were sent to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree to take root one after another, becoming part of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree biosphere. Inferior ones can only take root around the mother dragon oak tree. It is much easier for elves to open up wasteland than for ordinary people. The second-level Stone Softening Technique can turn obstructive stones in the ground into clay and gravel into mud. The withering of the three-ringed plants will inhibit the growth of those weeds and shrubs, and then wither quickly. The growth of three-ring plants will cause those fruits, vegetables, and grains to grow rapidly, and even increase the harvest. The three-ring activated plants will make those trees active and move away from their current positions, which will free up farmland without harming these trees. The sixth-ring seismic technique can turn hills into flat ground, or directly create ditches hundreds of meters long. The seven rings control the weather and can create artificial rainfall or disperse excess rainfall, making the entire environment more suitable for the growth of crops.
In just two ten days, the ten kilometers of land around the dragon oak mother tree were all leveled and the seeds were sown, just waiting for time to germinate. In addition, the main body of Virginia's palace and the castle of the eladrin, Spring Bud Castle, was also moved to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. Chun Nha Fort itself was not built, but grew. Most of them can also be driven to the mother dragon oak tree by activating trees. Not only the Lord of Virginia has made up his mind, but the entire Spring Bud Forest has also made up his mind that they will make the Dragon Oak Mother Tree their home in the future, and the other parts of the Spring Bud Forest will be affiliated with the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. The benefits of doing this are obvious. Although the territory is smaller, the defense force is more concentrated. For now, they can only stick to it and wait for the day when the Dragon Oak Mother Tree is really activated. Wherever the mother dragon oak tree passes, there is a forest of spring buds. Chunya Castle, which was moved to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, stands at the highest point of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree and blends into the canopy of the tree. In many places, the tree canopy has been reshaped. In particular, the main hall of Lord Virginia's palace is a huge space expanded directly from the main pole of the dragon oak tree using wood plasticity. Fortunately, Gavin now has energy dragon wings and can fly, making it easier to observe. If you go to Chunya Castle through the complex trunks, hanging ladders, and turntables of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, you will have to go around in circles. Are there other eladrin visiting? Gavin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The door to Virginia's main hall was closed, and a small group of fully armed eladrin warriors stood outside the door. He recognized at a glance that they were not the Yaling warriors from Chunya Forest. It's not that Gavin has gotten to know all the eladrin warriors in Chunya Castle, but the style of their eladrin armor is completely different from that of Chunya Forest. The Yaling armor of Chunya Forest is mainly green, inlaid with silver and white, tending to be simple and elegant. The group of elegans warriors standing outside the main hall door are mainly bright red and inlaid with silver. Each one is as colorful as a blooming flower. The twelve eladrin warriors are of the same height and stand in a standard posture, like a handle. Javelin, poke it there. His expression was as if he was guarding his own palace, but instead the elegans warriors from Chunya Forest had become guests. An acquaintance was standing not far away with a dissatisfied look on his face. Gavin immediately found a remote place and dropped down, waving to the acquaintance. Seeing Gavin's appearance clearly, the other party's eyes lit up, and a smile couldn't help appearing on his little face. He ran over and said: "Mr. Gavin, you came back just in time, we are here." A nasty guest, please help the lord get rid of him." This acquaintance was none other than Maggie, the maid of Lord Virginia. This eladrin maid usually dislikes Gavin, but today she smiled at Gavin uncharacteristically, which shows that she dislikes the guests that Lord Virginia is currently receiving. "First, let's talk about what exactly is going on? Who is the other party? He is so majestic." Gavin was not in a hurry to act. The other party was also an eladrin, so he must be a friend or not an enemy. He had to understand the situation first.
"Except for people from the Summer Palace, who would treat other people's homes as their own?" Ma Qi wrinkled her nose and said, "This is the eldest prince of the Summer Palace. When he came, he either criticized or pointed fingers. Now he is even more wishful thinking. , wants to marry us and marry the lord, huh, a fool can't see that he not only covets the lord's beauty, but also wants to take the dragon oak mother tree as his own. When we were in trouble, they didn't send anyone, let alone request for marriage. Now we activate the war state of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, send envoys, and form a marriage. Where can there be such a good thing in the world? " The Lord of Virginia was not the only one who was dissatisfied with the Royal Court of Summer. It is the unified view of intelligent life in the entire Chunya Forest. Their long lives endow them with long-lasting memories. For humans, a century is already a generation, and most people have turned into dust. But to the fey, it seems like yesterday. They still clearly remember how the Royal Court of Xia sacrificed the other half of Chunya Forest for the so-called righteousness and the so-called safety of the Fairy Wilderness. How they ignored the wails of the intelligent life in the entire Spring Bud Forest and used them as tools to seal the monsters. environment. From that day on, the remaining Spring Bud Forest had parted ways with the Summer Court. They no longer paid tribute to it, nor did they accept its protection. They would protect themselves. "Let's go, I want to see who wants to take advantage of my woman." Gavin immediately walked towards the main hall when he heard it. Although he knew that the possibility of Lord Virginia agreeing to the other party's request was zero, he could not be careless, after all, he was from the Summer Court. Let's put it this way, even the other half of the Spring Bud Forest had not been lost in the hands of the waste giant. The Spring Bud Forest is just one of the twelve territories of the Summer Court, and its area can barely rank in the top five. Now it is the second to last, and the last one is an enclave, which is surrounded by the Winter Court. It is only a matter of time before it is incorporated into the Winter Court. "Stop, no strangers are allowed to enter." Gavin and his men were still five steps away from the main hall, and the Summer Court warriors guarding the door crossed their halberds and scolded in the yin-yang elf language.
