Arcane Lord

At that time, countless small businessmen, civilians, and craftsmen who are bankrupt and heavily indebted will be unemployed and become an unstable factor in the society. If someone proposes to hire them at this time, I believe that regardless of the noble class , Or those businessmen who are afraid of riots causing damage to their property, will stand up one by one and applaud.

Actually, Andre’s territory requires a lot of labor and talent for development. Abner, as the chief of the interior, will definitely not miss something like this that can improve reputation and gain benefits.

Again, after waiting for the Linton City Navy to be hit hard, his unsinked Arcane Eye will naturally become the focus of attention of countless people, especially the bronze artillery weapon, absolutely Will enter the sight of the dukes and nobles.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, casting a bronze barrel is not difficult, and it can be copied easily, but gunpowder is not that easy.

Andre bet that as long as he guarantees that the granular gunpowder formula is not leaked, he can not only use this as a bargaining chip to force the nobles to give him a higher status, but also continuously earn a lot of Gold Coin, anyway As long as you build a secret underground gunpowder workshop, you can satisfy the opponent’s appetite with no difficulty.

After all, bronze is not a cheap metal. It itself represents the lowest transaction currency. The cost of an artillery can be between one thousand and six hundred to two thousand Gold Coins. At least Eight Sects to Ten Six Sects must be equipped on battleships or armed merchant ships. Families with insufficient financial resources can’t afford it.

In addition, the price of gunpowder is also not low. Between the production of saltpeter and sulfur, plus the raw materials required for purification, the basic load of bombs at a time is five Silver Coins to one. Around Gold Coin.

Don’t think it’s rare. You have to know that the hit rate of sea artillery is usually not too high. To be precise, it is horrible. Unless you are very close, you must at least every time. It is possible to hit the target with dozens of shots. As for sinking the opponent, it depends on the tonnage of the ship. Generally speaking, the larger the ship, the harder it is to sink.

Even if the lowest price is five Silver Coins at a time, ten times is more than four Gold Coins, and one hundred times is more than 40 Gold Coins. This is just the cost of a gun and a naval battle. If it is large A large-scale naval battle may consume more than tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Gold Coin ammunition at a time, which is completely equivalent to burning money…

It is like what a philosopher once said, the war was fought. It is economy and logistics, especially after entering the age of firearms, this change is particularly obvious.

Every time the soldiers fired a bullet or a shell, they would consume countless money. If they did not have enough financial resources, they would be completely defeated because of the ammunition problem before they waited for the enemy to win or lose.

Of course, the above are just cost prices. Andre intends to learn from a superpower on Earth that makes money by selling arms, multiplying the price by five or adding zero, otherwise how worthy of him.

According to this price, it is estimated that in the entire Linton City, except for four dukes and less than ten nobles, the rest of the people can’t afford it. A medium-scale gunpowder workshop is enough to meet their needs. .

He even thought about it. He dug a cellar in a relatively hidden place in the valley of Tulse Hill, and then used half-orc, goblin or kobold corpses to make some dead bodies as labor.

If someone dared to break in, the undead controlled by magic would immediately ignite the black powder piled inside. By then, it would be impossible to say that the information was stolen. Even the intruder’s life would be unsafe, and everything The data will disappear completely with the hot fire, shock wave and roar.

Olaer continent’s relatively backward productivity and a variety of supernatural forces determine that it is impossible to follow the route of natural technology like Earth.

So this thing about gunpowder weapons will always be impossible to develop to the level of Earth, because it is not the only option. Compared with the more versatile magic and divine techniques, its investment is too large and limited Too strong, destined to only become a substitute for ballista.

Finally, Andre can wait for the Linton City Navy to be hit hard, use the Arcane Eye as a bargaining chip to win the role of commander-in-chief of the fleet and lead the gunboat to win the trade war. The pirates who secretly controlled the Sardinian Islands played a scene and used undisputed military exploits to gain recognition from the nobility and merchant class, gain higher status and rights, and prepare for the upcoming collision in the future.

Since there are so many benefits and benefits, he will naturally not stop the actions of the pirates. Anyway, most of the battleships that were sunk have nothing to do with him, and they can fiercely fight the main battle. The arrogance of the school, why not do it.

He will never forget what the Blood Marquis Kyrgyz has done to him, and he is even ready to go back this time, and he will unite with the conservatives to pull up the other party’s entire family by the roots, using blood, Destruction and death have established an awesome reputation.

“Hey! I said, when do you plan to stay here until? The smell of blood in the room is so bad!”

Just after Andre stood there and fell into contemplation, Finally, Portia couldn’t bear the heavier and heavier smell, pinching her nose and yelling.

Garrick’s headless corpse lay on the floor for more than an hour. According to the hot ambient temperature in the south, it has now begun to be decomposed by active bacteria, emitting a faint smell of corpse, although it is not It is particularly obvious, but it is quite obvious to people with a sensitive sense of smell.

Andre, who came back to his senses, glanced at the young man who was still sleeping, helplessly shook the head and explained: “I originally planned to wait for Mabel to wake up and talk, but it looks like he is afraid You won’t wake up in one day. So, do you know what houses are for sale nearby? We can buy them as temporary residences. It is best not to be too small, otherwise there is no way to transform them into a blacksmith shop.”

“When buying a house, I personally think it’s better to stay a little bit away from the hotel or tavern, otherwise just dealing with the drunk drunk will be annoying, not to mention the dirty hands and feet Little thief. I personally suggest that an old house a few blocks away should be good. It was originally an abandoned warehouse. The place is big enough to meet your requirements.”

As a standing Warren is a well-known king of thieves. Portia is as familiar with the terrain of the city as his own backyard. With no difficulty, he gave a good choice.

“Then what are you waiting for, let’s go and see it now, I hope its price will not be too expensive, and I don’t have much cash left.” Then, Andre touched himself There was a wry smile on the face of the somewhat dry purse.
