My Magic Age

Taking advantage of this opportunity to stay briefly in Xinliu Valley, the dwarf Bernd took me to see the silk reeling workshop again. In a huge stone room, there was a long row of huge wooden cages against the wall. Those wooden cages could just completely restrain the bodies of giant spiders. Each one was like their new shells. Those big guys without pedipalps and spider legs lay in humiliation.

Opposite each wooden cage was a simple wooden spinning wheel. All the native women sat on the spinning wheel. They turned the wooden spinning wheel with one hand and reeled pure white silk thread. In the other hand, they placed a thorny vine, which was soaked in a wooden barrel filled with cold water. As long as the giant spiders opposite were suspected of being lazy, they would be whipped by the native women.

These native women probably hated these giant spiders. Anyway, when our group just walked into the silk reeling workshop, we could hear the sound of whips being cracked in an endless stream.

"Snap", "Snap", "Snap"

The sound was crisp and loud, and the high-frequency screams of giant spiders like slaughtering pigs came out from time to time. When they were whipped, they would tremble violently and scream loudly, their hearts were full of fear, and then they would work hard to spit out white tough spider silk.

On one side of the wall behind these indigenous women, there was a row of brand new wooden shelves, which still exuded a fresh resin smell. Rows of wooden shelves were dragged with ingots of spider silk. On these wooden shelves that almost extended for more than 300 meters, there were a total of five layers of spider silk. These spider silks were neatly placed on them, and each ingot of spider silk exuded a faint natural magic breath.

Looking at those white silk threads, I know that Qi Ge and I took a deep breath, looked at each other inexplicably, and couldn't hide the surprise in our eyes.

Neither of us had thought that in less than half a month, the giant spiders in the underground caves would produce so much spider silk. At this rate of production, it wouldn't take long for all the wooden shelves in the silk reeling workshop to be filled with spider silk.

The dwarf Bernd kept complaining that the lazy goblins were too slow in digging the stone chambers. The warehouses dedicated to storing the spider silk had not yet been dug out, and they were not confident in just putting them in the natural caves. That's why there were so many spider silk spindles on these wooden shelves. In the future, these spider silks will be uniformly stored in special stone chambers.

Passing the silk reeling workshop, Qi Ge couldn't help but continue to walk inside. There was a row of orderly stone chambers inside. These stone chambers seemed to have existed for a long time. Some of the stone chambers were filled with a room full of primary magic herbs, and some of the stone chambers were filled with a room full of copper ingots. Among these copper ingots, magic red copper accounted for half.

I have never carefully counted how many magic copper and ordinary copper ingots are stored in the underground cave, but I know that before clearing out the goblins in the underground cave, I only had two or three stone chambers for the copper ingots.

Now in this rock cave, our group has walked forward for hundreds of meters. Every twenty meters, a stone chamber will be carved out on the stone walls on both sides. These stone chambers are piled with rows of copper ingots, and those copper ingots are stacked like rows of neat shelves. There are more than thirty stone chambers storing copper ingots. It seems that the clearing of the surrounding goblin tribes has never stopped in recent days.

In such a short period of time, the wealth I have has increased exponentially.

Going deeper, I haven't seen the group of goblin laborers yet, and I don't know where Bernd has arranged them to work. In short, I don't know why the dwarves hate the goblins so much. Bernd's hatred for the goblins comes from his bones, so he will never let go of the goblin slaves easily.

The branch cave deeper inside was filled with precious wood.

Ironwood, indigo wood, and oak were all sawn into standard one-meter square and six-meter long sections. The wood stacks were not so particular and were placed randomly in the cave, extending far away.

Over time, the amount of wood stored in the underground cave has reached a very terrifying amount.

The dwarves can store magic herbs, magic copper, precious wood, and even some unknown things found from the goblin tribe in fixed warehouses in different categories. As long as these warehouses are safe enough, Bernd doesn't care about other trivial matters. I didn't expect him to make greater changes to the underground warehouse in such a short time. He can do so many things in such a short time, which is surprising enough.

Unexpectedly, in another cave, the entire cave was completely converted into a very complete wine cellar. The exquisite wine cellar door, pushed open the door and walked into the wine cellar, and saw 60,000 barrels of golden apple wine lying quietly on the wooden rack inside. One after another hollow steel pipes appeared every five meters, and these hollow steel pipes were deeply embedded in the stone wall.

This is a measure used by the hollow steel pipes to prevent the surrounding goblins from digging holes from one side to steal golden apple wine. If there is a business of digging rocks in the stone wall, the sound will be infinitely amplified when it reaches the steel pipe.

At the same time, this wine cellar has very complete ventilation and moisture-proof facilities. It can be seen that the dwarf Bernd is very concerned about this wine cellar. Perhaps in his heart, this underground wine cellar occupies the heaviest weight in his mind.

There were originally dedicated orc warriors responsible for guarding the wine cellar, but now most of the guards here have been replaced by indigenous people from the Hierro plane. As for those orc warriors, we have all transferred them out of the Hierro plane. The battle on the battlefield basically relied on the full support of these orc warriors in Xinliu Valley.

After walking around this time, Qi Ge had a rough understanding of the amount of wealth I had. Little stars lit up in her eyes, and she said to me in amazement: "Ji Jia, I didn't expect you to have so many resources, more resources than those in the empire." The wealth owned by those so-called earls is not much better. Hey, why are you hoarding these resources here? Wouldn't it be better to exchange them for magic crystals? Maybe you can focus on developing this rich little plane?"

I scratched my head and casually said my thoughts that I had never told anyone: "Of course I have thought about these, but before I can justly tell the source and provenance of these materials, I don't want to show these wealth. Once exposed, , it will do me no good at all.”

Qige blinked at me and analyzed it for me: "In other words, you want to have a territory of your own, and then count the output of Xinliu Valley as the head of that territory. You are really good enough." Smart, no wonder you care so much about those achievements. After this trip to Hierro, you are probably one step closer to your goal, right?"

I said firmly: "Well, I think it's almost done."

Then he asked her: "Qige, do you think my achievements in the Hierro plane are enough to exchange for the territory of a small town in the Green Empire?"

Qige frowned, rubbed her forehead with green-white fingers, thought seriously for a while, and then said: "It should be about the same! However, you are sure to exchange the territory of the empire. In addition to the population of Green, What else could there be?”

At this moment, it suddenly occurred to me that I really don’t need to be obsessed with owning a small piece of territory of my own in Green. As Qige said, except for the population, almost all the resources of the Green Empire are almost exhausted. The prosperity of the Green Empire is built on Countless resources from countless rich planes are continuously transported into the Green Empire, which makes the Green Empire such a prosperous world.

I slapped my forehead and suddenly became more awake, so I said: "That's right, but this matter is not urgent, let me think about it again. Next, it's time for us to harvest wheat, let's return to Hierro Let’s see what that box of fire phosphorus bombs brings us!”

Overslept today, that's all.
