Two Mine Owners
Boss Roy's speech in the small square in front of the City Hall caused a great stir in the Plateau City.
Just half a day later, the Mine Guard Regiment adjusted the purchase price of Magic Herbs. The purchase price of Elementary Magic Herbs increased by 30%, while the purchase price of intermediate and advanced Magic Herbs decreased by 30%. This meant that the Mine Guard Regiment would focus on purchasing Elementary Magic Herbs, while intermediate and advanced Magic Herbs would flow into the Free Market.
Furthermore, the official advice given to the Half-Elf gatherers by the Plateau City was that they should put their mid-to-high-level Magic Herbs into the Free Market.
Immediately, the Half-Elf gatherers in the Plateau City responded to Boss Roy's initiative.
Elf Merchants previously couldn't buy Magic Herbs, finally saw a surge in business opportunities, and the Free Market became even more bustling.
The Forging Workshop in the Gaxi Mountain Range finally delivered the first batch of Iron Chains Iron Chains, which were as thick as a wrist and were intended to reinforce the port of Sun Island and the surrounding seawall.
Iron Chains can be woven into a huge iron net to enclose all the piled-up stones on the seawall, making the seawall more stable.
Roy also planned to use these Iron Chains to weave huge iron cages during the construction of the port, fill the cages with stones, and then pile them on the port dock.
The first batch of Iron Chains delivered from the Forging Workshop didn't seem like much, but in reality, the Iron Chains loaded into the Magic Airship only filled half the warehouse. The captain, who was in charge of piloting the Magic Airship, hurriedly found Roy and told Roy that the Magic Airship was now fully loaded.
The weight of these Iron Chains exceeded Roy's expectations, so they had to be split between two Magic Airship and transported to Sun Island Bay.
Roy will be traveling with the Magic Airship to Sun Island Bay.
In addition, the siren Jiezena, Miss Tiffany, Moira will also travel by boat to Sun Island Bay.
Sabrina was unable to travel to Sun Island Bay because she had to stay behind to help Mulin train the new army of Half-Elf.
A Magic Airship consumes a large amount of Magic Crystal Stone when it ascends into the Wind Stream Layer.
When fully loaded, it ascends into the Wind Stream Layer and burns about 120 Magic Crystal Stone in just half a day.
Once the Magic Airship enters the Wind Stream Layer, it needs to remain suspended in the Wind Stream Layer. In this state, the twelve Floating Device operate at low energy consumption, consuming approximately sixty Magic Crystal Stone per day and night.
In other words, it would cost 200 Magic Crystal Stone for a one-way Magic Airship from the Plateau City to Sun Island Bay, which seems like an exorbitant price.
However, if we calculate it differently, we will get a completely different answer: a Magic Airship can carry about five hundred Half-Elf Warrior. If this high transportation cost is divided among each Half-Elf Warrior, the transportation cost is actually not expensive.
Of course, if there is time and conditions to travel by land in a caravan, the transportation cost would be less than one-tenth of that of Magic Airship.
The Mine Guard Regiment's treasury can currently afford the high transportation costs, and Roy hopes that the Magic Airship will be accepted by the elves of the Pattington Plane, so he is not too concerned about the cost of Magic Crystal Stone in the early stages.
The Magic Airship departed the Plateau City and gradually rose into the clouds. Miss Tiffany and Moira stood side by side on the Ship Building.
"Aren't you going to see that Half-Elf girl before you leave?" Miss Tiffany asked curiously.
Moira shook her head, a gust of wind blowing her stray hairs, and she pursed her lips, saying, "I don't want to go."
Miss Tiffany blinked and stared at Moira: "You've helped her so much, don't you want to see how she'll live from now on?"
Moira shook her head with a faint smile on her face.
The siren Jiezena lay in the bathtub in the stern cabin, splashing seawater over herself with both hands, while her other two arms rested on the edge of the tub. Finally, she held a book in one hand and a cup of fruit tea in the other, looking quite content.
Her room had only two round glass windows through which one could see smooth white clouds, like woolen blankets, and in the distance, the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range pierced through the clouds and soared into the sky, like a huge natural barrier.
It turns out that besides that sea, the Pattington Plane also has such a vast and colorful world...
She suddenly felt that the carefree life of lying on the seabed and sunbathing every day didn't seem so appealing anymore. Once desires take root in your heart, they are not easily extinguished.
A group of people arrived at the port of Sun Island Bay aboard Magic Airship. Nearly a thousand Half-Elf had gathered at the port, transporting massive rocks from the Stalagmite Forest and piling them on the beach, preparing to build a seaport.
The siren Jiezena saw the Magic Airship Magic Airship arrive at the surface of Sun Island Bay. Without waiting for it to land, she eagerly stepped out of the cabin, pushed open the door to the adjacent cabin, and said to Miss Tiffany was lying in the bathtub:
"Tiffany, we're even now."
"Okay, take care on your journey!"
Miss Tiffany said it casually, waving her hand with her back turned.
Then, Jiezena swam to the deck, reaching the ship's side. Under the stunned gaze of a group of Half-Elf crew members, Jiezena leaped from a height of several hundred meters. After a while, a faint 'plop' sound was heard from the sea.
Roy's visit to Sun Island Bay was for the construction of the port and dock.
Under the leadership of Commander Tiprado, the Half-Elf near Sun Island Bay have been building up the rudiments of a port during this period.
Moreover, a simple dock had been built here before using logs, and now it is simply being rebuilt on the original site, so the progress is very fast.
After all, the Half-Elf of Sun Island Bay are able to tame griffins, making it relatively convenient for them to move these giant rocks.
More than half of the Half-Elf of Sun Island Bay now live in the jungle behind the port, and a brand-new elf village is beginning to take shape in the jungle.
Commander Tiprado and Roy stood together on the beach in front of the harbor. Tiprado pointed to the Flying Fish Boat parked on the beach not far away and said to Roy with some excitement:
"Recently, some people have tried fishing in Sun Island Bay, and the daily catch is quite good."
"Prepare a batch of fresh sea fish tomorrow morning. I'm going to transport these fresh sea fish to the Plateau City!" Roy said with a smile.
"Captain, are you really planning to use Magic Airship to transport sea fish?"
Three weeks later, Roy was urgently summoned back to the Plateau City by a letter from Mulin.
The Silver Pegasus Military Department of Padesto City dispatched two Silver Moon Elf Mine Owners to the Plateau City. Accompanying these two Mine Owners were two thousand Half-Elf Warrior, except that all officers above the rank of squad leader in this army were Silver Moon Elf.
Commander Brad and Commander Ke Leiwen stood in the lobby of the City Hall; Roy still remembered them somewhat.
They were originally the commanders of the Silver Moon Elf Infantry Guard Regiment. When the Silver Pegasus Legion invaded the Pagisto Plateau, their infantry Guard Regiment was stationed in the mines.
However, their infantry Guard Regiment was scattered by the Gray Dwarf Bandit during the Queen Ivini Islands Naval Battle.
The Silver Pegasus Legion currently has no plans to rebuild the Silver Moon Elf Infantry Guard Regiment.
They were no longer the commanders of the infantry Guard Regiment, and the military had to send them to the Pattington Plane, asking Chief of Staff Kampferfred to assign them a relatively easy position.
Chief of Staff Kampferfred hoped they could become Mine Owners on the Pagisto Plateau, so they could accumulate some capital and perhaps reorganize the infantry Guard Regiment later.
Seeing the enormous profits from the Pagisto Plateau mines, Chief of Staff Kampferfred did not want Roy to control the mines alone, so he sent two Mine Owners in the name of the Silver Pagisto Plateau Silver Pegasus Military Department.
According to Chief of Staff Kampferfred's idea, Roy should give up two normally operating mines, but Roy is unwilling to give up the mines he has worked so hard to build.
Roy said to the two Silver Moon Elf commanders, "When this Mine Guard Army was first created, the Legion did not provide any funding. I relied on the revenue from the Pagisto Plateau mine to establish this Mine Guard Regiment."
"Earl Swynborne promised me that half of the revenue from these mines would go to the Mine Guard Army to cover the army's daily expenses, post-war compensation, and replacement of equipment, while the other half would be paid to the Silver Pegasus Legion."
"If you want to take over these mines, of course there's no problem with that."
"However, I don't care how you manage the mines you've taken over. Half of the mine's monthly revenue must go to the Mine Guard Regiment. In addition, the amount of revenue you hand over cannot be less than the previous month's. As for the rest, how much you want to keep... go talk to Chief Kampferfred then."
