And because there are always things made by wizards and apprentices here, it is very, very lively here.Those guys who can get a little bit in touch with the people around Palos are all trying to come here to buy something.

But recently, this area has been completely opened to the outside world, and many chambers of commerce and adventurers have come here.

The road here was very muddy by the crowd, the blacksmiths were sweating profusely, and there were many machines being maintained by the craftsmen on the side of the road.George also saw quite a few land ships being maintained.These land boats don't seem to have any family emblems, and the customers looking at the land boats here are also full of flesh.

Without even thinking about it, George knew that those guys were the Black Sail pirates under Palos.

To put it bluntly, this town with a high degree of freedom is a den of pirates.

After walking around, George also saw many wizards and apprentices exchanging spells, notes, and letters.And on the front desk of the bulletin hall, there are still many tasks hung up by wizards.

Because this place not only belongs to the tropical rainforest area, but also belongs to the vicinity of the Stars River, so all kinds of potions are very rich.Occasionally there will be some monsters escaping from the crater, so the wizards usually take this opportunity to issue some tasks.

Most of these tasks are carried out by apprentices. On the one hand, it is to train them. On the other hand, although ordinary adventurers can also clean up monsters, they do not have as much knowledge as apprentices, and it is difficult to identify potions.

After looking around for a while, George saw stores that specialized in 'dragon goods' - some were black and emerald dragons, some were subspecies.Those subspecies of dragons are a lower level of dragons than black dragons and emerald dragons. They are already very rare on the mainland, but they are too many in the crater.And it's in the Black and Emerald Dragon cookbook.

They also have magical elements, with entrails, leather and bones being of great value to wizards.

The dragon products of Jasper Steel Ridge are the same as these subspecies of dragons, but the price is more than ten times higher.And now the buyers are getting more and more hyped—especially dragon liver, which is needed in many ancient high-level potions.

As for black dragons, they are all fossils such as dragon eggs, or dragon dung, horns, nails, and companions of dragons.George and the others did not sell the body parts of these two types of dragons. On the one hand, it was too wasteful, and on the other hand, it was somewhat disrespectful to the Duke and Milim.

Among these dragon goods, there are some dinosaurs. These dragon goods are more or less cheating money, but as wizards' pets, they are extremely popular.

Now, among these mysterious huts, there was a crowd of people at the door, and many wizards from the academy also came to see the excitement.

In addition, in this entire area, if you want to buy such high-end goods, you must use magic stones—and empty magic stones.The change in the store is in gold and silver currency.

The price of the empty magic stone is the same as that of ordinary gemstones, 1 silver foxes per carat. 10-carat 2 silver fox, 30-carat 3 silver fox, and 90-carat and above, it depends on the quality.Prices are rising exponentially.The 'pigeon egg' sent by Neinofali on George's waist is about ten carats-if an empty magic stone of this quality is sold on the market, it is enough to buy a manor.It can be described as priceless.

So things like gems are very expensive.In future wars, the bigger the 'battery', the better.

And this matter is not only considered by the sanctuary, but also by the nobles and wizards of the Moon Kingdom - they all regard those big gems as strategic materials.After all, no matter whether the magic stone still has energy or not, it can continue to be used after it is charged!

Therefore, it is useless to have money alone. The real strategic materials cannot be bought even with money!

But the "Dragon Goods" can let them take out these gems happily!

Seeing this, George couldn't help feeling slightly satisfied—the efficiency of the butler and 'Redman' was not bad.

This policy should have been promulgated only recently, because a large amount of magic stones will be needed during the war, so these two people used the goods that others did not have to gather magic stones on the market.

In fact, most magic stones are used in the Kingdom of the Moon - most of the magic stones from all over the world will eventually flow here.But generally speaking, each store is specialized in purchasing this kind of thing, rather than using it in transactions.After all, this thing is rechargeable.After charging, as long as it is sold to other countries outside, the price can often be increased by ten times.Therefore, generally speaking, large chambers of commerce with magic hubs, or adventurers related to these large chambers of commerce, will generally keep the empty magic stone in their hands.

But because Palos has many high-end goods that are not available outside, it is very appropriate to use this method to acquire magic stones.

George asked the clerks who sold dragon products, and heard that some chambers of commerce had come here recently.An auction is also planned in the castle.The auction items will be some dragon eggs.

These plans were actually made by Brenda and the others when they were in the crater - they would first get out the unhatchable dragon egg fossils in the crater, and then gradually sell some difficult-to-hatch dragon eggs.Finally, those inferior dragonlings will flow into the market.

As for this kind of auction, if buyers want to buy what they want, they cannot use currency completely.Instead, use equivalent materials.

These supplies will eventually flow into the Eldar and the Sanctuary.

After walking around, George saw the servant who came to call him.I learned that the meeting with Brenda and the others has ended.So he went back to the castle, changed his clothes with everyone, and prepared to enter the Kingdom of the Moon as a student and friend of Palos.

Otherwise, when the mission arrives at the Moon King Capital, the lurkers in the Holy Court will definitely blow up after receiving the news—although it will be a matter of time, but the later the group finds out, the more obstacles to meeting the queen this time will be. The smaller it is.

Then everyone went directly to the workshop of the castle to check the condition of those vehicles.

Thanks to the craftsmanship of the craftsmen of the Moon Kingdom, the maintenance of the caravan vehicles is much faster than George and others expected.After inspecting the vehicle, Gerry Jones, who was helping to carry the wind shuttle, was completely replaced by magic stones—the current wind shuttle no longer needs to use Gerry Jones to save the cost of mana consumption.It's time to restore its original function.

Although Fengxingshuo has two more magic stone slots than the land boat, it consumes 20 more.But Feng Xingshuo was able to consume all the magic stones at a critical moment and fly two kilometers away.

After checking the vehicles, the caravan headed to the pier.

During the next journey to the Kingdom of the Moon, George did not plan to use the silver shuttle anymore—otherwise, if the Kingdom of the Moon checked, the caravan passed by 0 places, which would cause a lot of trouble.

This is already the border of the Kingdom of the Moon, and from the castle of Palos, along the River of Stars to the east, you will find the famous world wonder 'Ariadne's Veil'— — that retrograde waterfall!

If the River of Stars is an inland sea, then this waterfall is the mouth of the sea.And there is also the boundary between salt water and fresh water.

Occasionally, there will be tides at the 'mouth of the sea', and the water will flow backwards at this time!

According to the prediction of the wizards, the tide will be in these two days, so the reason why everyone is in a hurry is to take a look at the wonder.

And judging from the distance, after passing the wonder, it will take less than a week to arrive at the City of the Moon.

On the pier, George and others followed the dragon people to find those ships—three three-masted galleons.In addition, there are more than a dozen frigates. Together, they can be regarded as a medium-sized armed merchant group in this month.

If the Kingdom of the Moon wants to go to war and requisition these ships, then these armed merchant ships can be directly used as warships after a little modification!

In fact, these armed merchant ships were hired by the dragon people through Irene's channel—that is to say, these ships belonged to the Guild.

0669 Overlord of the sea

This time, George finally had the opportunity to take a closer look.

Back when George saw the Duke of Jumbo’s ship, he was a little amazed at the development of the world’s oceans. If we say that the ships of Western countries are still in the middle ages, then Landry’s ships have already reached 17th century colonial era.

And the ships of the Kingdom of the Moon are more than a century more advanced than Landry's.

The ships of the Kingdom of the Moon already have a complete system, and they are strictly classified according to the guns, decks and displacement.However, the division of Eldar's ships still stays in volume.The carrying capacity is also very different. Elda's thousand-material ship can load up to 300400 tons of cargo, while a random three-masted ship in Yueguo can load 400800 tons of cargo, which is even more than the Spanish galleon. for advanced.

As for the large sailing ships of the Yue Kingdom, they have already loaded a lot of metal decks, and the displacement has reached more than a thousand tons.

These three ships are all around 600 tons, which can only be regarded as medium in the Moon Country.But wherever it is placed, it is still a giant at sea, and the ships of Layton are twice as small in front of them.

And George discovered that the cannons used on these ships were not copper cannons, but steel cannons.

The thickness of the bore wall also varies widely.The walls of the cannons on these ships are almost as wide as the palm of your hand, and those of Elda have only one finger. Compared with the cannons of the Moon Kingdom, they are like a layer of skin, and the appearance of these cannons is as smooth as a mirror, obviously not made of mud. guns, but solid drills

Even those workshops that George had just developed in Qiongying could not reach this level.

Elda's cannons and Yueguo's cannons are not products of the same era at all, just like the British army and the Qing army.

If there is a fight, let alone the issue of the bombing of the Eldar cannon, even the range, rate of fire, and accuracy are probably very different, and the only thing that matters is the beating.

In addition, George also found that these armed merchant ships were also equipped with many land ships, and each large ship was equipped with 1015 ships.According to the sailors, the land boats on the moonship are the real complete bodies that run extremely fast on the water. They are also equipped with small steel cannons, and they can fly up to ten meters high for a short period of time, which can be directly used to log in. enemy warship.

It is said that the Moon Kingdom is researching a super-large ship that will be fully equipped with land ships and use wolf pack tactics in wars.

"Is it all steel?" George couldn't help asking.

"I-I don't know about that." The boatswain said, "But I think if the Moon Kingdom goes to war with other countries, steel ships are not needed. These ships with steel armor are enough. At present, only Landry The main fleet can pose some threats to the warships of the Moon Kingdom. But after the fog, Landry has also given up the artillery. Their ships are in the fog, and their detection range is not as far as ours, let alone aiming. "

George nodded.He had heard from Layton before that the ships in the Moon Kingdom that were equipped with special magic circles could see the ships in the fog. In the display of the magic disk, those ships were red.The distance, speed and other parameters can be calculated according to the ratio easily and in one fell swoop.
