Chapter 46 The Tauren Warriors Who Never Take off Their Masks
Time flew by.
Without realizing, two months had passed and there were nine months left before the beta testing of the game…
For William, as long as he did not actively participate in the affairs of the Iron Dukedom and Black Lava Dukedom, no one would disturb him in this period of time. It was a good time for him to develop peacefully.
The days of the mushroom Fairy were very good. Every day, many Elves would especially go to see this little fellow, and she did not need William's special care.
But because the mushrooms were not suitable for planting in the city, they could only be placed in the dark areas at the edge of the forest. Some Elf mages specially built a small house for them and some female Elves would go there…
Especially after obtaining luxury food like mythril, the little fellow would eat until her belly was rounded and her body exploded with magic, making her wish to use magic every day to make the mushrooms grow larger and faster.
In just two months, the scale of the blue mushrooms had expanded to nearly 0.33 hectares and had officially become one of the forbidden areas of Dawn Town.
Although the blue mushrooms were beginner-level magic herbs, they were just right for the Elf Warriors now. They could speed up their pace of becoming Intermediate-level professionals.
Odom would organize people to expand the town every day. The speed had been increased greatly and it was more than enough to successfully expand the town within six months.
A month ago, Curry had successfully inherited the Count's title. He had not forgotten his original vow and personally sent 6000 slaves over and 700 slaves with professions.
Meanwhile.
William started his armor business again.
There were far more close-combat professionals than magic professionals in the Legendary continent, so the national soldiers of the land were also close-combat professionals.
There were more than 30 Advanced-level blacksmiths in City of Dawn. The other Dwarf blacksmiths were at least Intermediate-level.
Advanced-level Dwarf blacksmiths did not need mythril at all. They could make Blue armor just by using some haematite. This skill was a godly skill that was hard to reach for many Intermediate-level blacksmiths.
A set of armor, including helmet, breastplate, wrist guards, leg guards, and shoes, could be sold for 30 gold coins, and the consumption of iron ore was only 50 kilograms!
If he were to sell iron ore, he would lose money…
In a word, William could make a lot of money.
Most of the soldiers in Black Lava Dukedom were still wearing black equipment. As the Iron Dukedom was about to start a war, even if the King of Black Lava Dukedom was dying, it was necessary to purchase high-quality armor in large quantities.
As for equipment production?
That was slightly exaggerated.
Every month, 600 sets of armor could be made. After all, Odom's purpose in building the blacksmith's workshops was to improve the speed of making equipment. The Intermediate-level blacksmiths would make the simple segments and the Advanced-level blacksmiths would be responsible for hammering out the quality of it.
600 sets of armor were worth 18000 gold coins.
70% of the income belonged to William…
It could not be helped, the Lord was endowed with power and willfulness.
As for the City of Dawn, with the continuous influx of refugees from other dukedoms, it now had more than 18000 residents and 800 soldiers. The bustling scenes, numerous houses, fountains, magic lights hanging on the street one by one, had already formed a sharp contrast with the once desolate scene.
Blackleaf Forest had a lot of resources and although there were few areas for planting crops in the forest, the foods of nature could often feed many people.
Every day, William took his guards with him to clean up the magical beasts around the town and complete missions, one by one, to clean up the tribes that were of threat.
Vhouls and Taurens, who never took off their masks, might appear.
A month ago, he had annihilated a Vhoul tribe with his own strength.
The reason William did not catch them to be miners was that these insidious and cunning fellows could spoil a whole pot of soup. When the faithful and honest Orcs met them, they would be swayed and sooner or later, would even follow them to revolt.
"But the Tauren Warriors who never take off their masks are really good workers!" William laughed.
"According to the scouts, this Tauren tribe is located on the grasslands north of the town. It's a valley area with at least 1000 Taurens." After reporting this, Nox coughed slightly before continuing, "My Lord, as an intelligent creature, the Taurens are not considered kind-hearted, but they don't harass us. We don't have to kill all of them, right?"
William snorted. "When did I say I wanted to kill them?"
"When I see your sparkling eyes, I usually feel that some tribe is going to be doomed. After all, every time you hear that we have discovered a new Orc tribe, your gaze…" Nox replied cautiously.
"Obviously, your thinking level is not high enough. Go back and read the book I wrote, 'Listen to My Lord's Words' 30 times." William patted his shoulder. He did not want to bother about it but still explained, "Think about it. What can the Taurens eat on the grassland? They can't even eat meat. I plan to let them live in the forest.
"And to dig mines for our town, carry wood, sandbags, and so on. I should give them some meat to improve their quality of life, shouldn't I?"
"!!!"
Nox looked confused. He wanted to tell the Lord that Taurens were vegetarians. They would never be hungry on the grassland and they enjoyed their lives there…
Unfortunately, the Lord did not listen…
William asked, "How many soldiers have been idle recently?"
"There are no more than 150 troops in the town. Currently there are 1800 Orc slaves, and most of them are guarding the mines!" Nox said. If there hadn't been an accident, the Lord must be planning to recruit soldiers.
"So few?" William raised his eyebrows, but he still nodded. "Leave the Tauren tribe aside and start recruiting soldiers tomorrow.
"Among them, I want 300 Shield Warriors, 300 Rangers, 300 Swordsman, and 100 Knights. 1000 soldiers in total.
"There is no age limit. Men can choose to join the army and the female professionals can choose to become town guards!"
"Yes, my Lord." Nox nodded and ran out to make arrangements.
To other NPCs, recruiting soldiers and choosing the good ones was like an incredible stroke of luck. Generally, they only choose professionals under the age of 18 who had battle energy.
But to William, with insights from the past, a person's bloodline potential could easily be seen. Age was not important at all, he might even be able to pick up a good one.
Two months later.
He had finally reached level 30. Although there was still a small gap to level 40, William's strength now had skyrocketed.
All skills reached the upper limit, which was level 7.
His battle energy and meditation magic level had also reached the upper limit of level 15!
All his experience was reserved for his role, and he would definitely be able to change occupation within a month.
