Carry a Ride-and-slash System with You

He encouraged the two blacksmiths and instructed Akaso and Aiden to bring out more apprentices first, and after the water forging was launched, the territory would be able to produce steel weapons on a large scale.

Retrieving his high-quality patterned steel seedling knife, Geralt left the blacksmith shop.

Watching this Miao Dao carefully, I hadn't looked at it carefully when I got it.

The blade of the Miao Dao is 140 cm long, and the handle part is also 30 cm. It is indeed one of the longest knives. If it is long in the horse war, it can be used as a spear, although the longer the knife is, the more the center of gravity will be. It became heavy, but with the strength attribute of the system and the energy in his body, Geralt tried to wave it with one hand.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

The Miao Dao is like an arm in Geralt's hand, slashing horizontally, slashing vertically, and stabbing straight. The moves are the most direct and fierce fighting skills that kill people.

"good."

Geralt drew back his knife and stood upright.

"Whether it is one-handed or two-handed, the manipulation is very smooth, and maybe a long stick can be attached, which may be good for immediate use."

Geralt thought to himself when he experienced the feeling of slashing with the Miao Dao.

"grown ups!"

Geralt, who was standing on the side of the street, was still thinking, when a shout interrupted his thoughts.

"What's the matter?"

Geralt asked the warrior who called him.

"Lord Harry, let me tell you that Master Wilkin is back."

The soldier spoke respectfully.

"Oh~ is that right? Then I have to go take a look. Thanks, let's get busy."

Geralt expressed his gratitude to the soldier and walked towards the council hall.

Half a month ago, when the wind and snow receded, Geralt asked Wilkin to go out to find the mines. Has it been harvested after only half a month?

Without stopping, Geralt returned to the council room, and in an open office on the left, he saw Wilkin and Harry.

"Sir." X2

Seeing Geralt coming in, Harry and Wilkin stood up and saluted.

Geralt waved his hand and asked Wilkin:

"How? Is there any gain?"

Greeting the two to sit down, Geralt himself sat on the seat of the desk.

As soon as he sat down, Wilkin said:

"According to the entrustment of the adults, along the tributaries of the Danube River, in the Baishi Mountain, there are some harvests."

As he spoke, he took out a map around the territory and put it on the desk.

"Here, when I was looking up along the tributary that day, I accidentally found a hidden hole."

Wilkin pointed to a spot on the map and said.

"The two soldiers and I went in to check it out. After walking a few steps into the cave, we smelled a foul stench. We thought it was a beast's nest, so we were about to leave."

"I didn't expect that a sharp-eyed soldier found something wrong. There were traces of someone moving in the cave, so we continued to walk inside."

"Sure enough, after walking for a while, a corner appeared in the hole, and the stench became stronger and stronger. We continued to walk in and found more than two dozen frozen corpses, bound to the wall, surrounded by There's a bonfire that's burned out and some tools to work."

After talking, Wilkin took a sip of water.

"and then?"

Hearing Wilkin's vivid description, Geralt asked impatiently.

"Then we explored carefully, and sure enough, we found a vein that had been excavated deeper in the cave."

Seeing that Geralt couldn't wait, Wilkin revealed the answer in just a few words.

"Look, my lord."

Wilkin stepped forward, took out a piece of mined ore from his pocket, and handed it to Geralt.

"This is the ore I brought out of this mine. The iron content is extremely high."

Geralt took it and looked at it carefully for a long time... Realizing that he probably didn't know much about ore, he said indifferently:

"Well, it's pretty good."

"However, iron ore...?"

Geralt seemed to have thought of something, and frowned for a moment.

"Iron ore!"

Geralt suddenly shouted loudly.

He quickly asked Wilkin:

"Can you tell how long this mine has been mined?"

Seeing the serious expression of the lord, Wilkin thought carefully about some details in the cave and said.

"My lord, judging from the mining traces and depth, this mine may not have been mined for a long time."

"Specific!"

Geralt, who didn't hear the specific answer, was a little worried and continued to ask.

"From my experience, this mine may have been mined for no more than one month, and the longest is no more than two months."

"Hoo~"

Geralt breathed a sigh of relief. He was still confident about Wilkin's experience. He followed his teacher out to look for minerals when he was a teenager. Now, at the age of 44, he has been dealing with ores for more than 30 years. The mines had not been developed for a long time, and Geralt was completely relieved.

Seeing that his lord's face softened, Harry asked:

"Sir, are you?"

Seeing that the two still had some doubts, Geralt explained:

"Do you remember the dozens of boxes of iron and stone that I handed over to the blacksmith for smelting after I brought the team back to suppress the bandits."

"Iron stone?"

Harry also frowned, as if he knew something.

"Sir, you mean..."

"Yes." Seeing that Harry might have guessed something, Geralt nodded and continued to explain to Wilkin who was kept in the dark.

"When I found these dozens of boxes of iron stones in the dark room of the bandit camp, I was still wondering, logically speaking, the strength of the caravan that can do iron and stone business is definitely not small, how could they be robbed by a group of bandits , Now it seems that these iron stones may have been mined and smelted by themselves."

Knowing the powerful relationship, Harry took a deep breath and hurriedly asked Geralt.

"My lord, don't you stay alive?"

"No, UU reading www.uukanshu.com You know, I never let go of gangsters, and after the war I ordered the soldiers to make up for their swords."

"Now it seems that this heavy snow is really a timely snow."

Harry also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he said that he was not afraid of being surrounded and suppressed by the army of one or several nobles, it is definitely impossible to develop as smoothly as it is now.

Fortunately, the heavy snow fell in time, and these gangsters had not had time to sell the iron and stone. Otherwise, under the attention of people who care, the area of ​​Baishi Mountain and the territory would definitely boil like hot oil sees water. There are no more peaceful days.

Geralt felt the same way.

Seeing that the expressions of the two adults had softened, Wilkin asked in a low voice, "Is there another black stone mine to talk about?"

"Blackstone Mine?"

Geralt looked at Wilkin suspiciously, "Is there another mine?"

"Well, yes, sir, there is a black stone vein on the mountainside not far from the iron mine."

"What is Blackstone Mine?"

Geralt was a little confused.

"Sir, I know this."

Harry took over the conversation: "The black stone mine is the vein that produces black stone, but it is troublesome to mine, and there is no charcoal to burn, so the worthless adults, I used to have a piece of land, but except for some bankrupt farmers who will be in the winter There's no value in picking up some for home heating."

"And my lord, the black stone mine is poisonous. Most of the farmers who picked it up and went home to keep warm have died, and the few who survived are stupid. Over time, the black stone has also been called the devil's stone."

"Oh~ I understand after you explain it like this."

Geralt suddenly realized.

"Can burn, poisonous, black, isn't that a coal mine!"
