Chapter 171: All the people are soldiers, the storage space is greatly increased [Please subscribe]
As long as you have enough money, it will be fine.
Chen Xuan really has no idea about these cash boxes.
After all, the White Rose Caravan relied on magic tears to carry money in sacks every day, which made him lose hope for these attractive dark gold currencies.
As usual, most of the harvest was confiscated, leaving only one box for Baron Bezos to make a living.
Bezos is currently the highest-ranking slave under his command.
No one can tell the future fate of Magtan City.
If Chen Xuan can survive this disaster, there will be many things that require Baron Bezos' intervention in the future.
If you can't get through it, then it doesn't matter whether you keep any money or not.
In any case, tens of millions of crowns would be considered a considerable fortune if placed there.
Putting away the money boxes, Chen Xuan focused on the items that seemed to be antiques.
I used [Insight] to screen, and I actually found a few good things with magical effects.
In addition, there is a void stone the size of a steamed bun!
This thing can immediately improve Chen Xuan's portable storage compartment.
At present, four grid slots are not enough.
If there were more storage compartments and splicing, he could even bring tanks or armored vehicles back.
Therefore, the Void Stone is definitely of great significance to Chen Xuan.
As for the other items in the treasure house, most of them are handicrafts from ancient times.
After repeatedly confirming that nothing was missing, Chen Xuan left the underground secret room with those few items.
The baron's treasury collection was not as rich as he imagined, and there were no magic weapons.
It can be seen that Magtan City is indeed a small and remote place.
Even Baron Bezos, the ruler of the state, couldn't get much good stuff.
In addition to the treasure trove, what Bezos cares about most is the dragon steel sword passed down from his family.
It was a large sword that was rough in appearance but extremely sharp.
But Chen Xuan didn't have much interest in the dragon steel sword. He still felt that the magic sword [Thunder Surge] was more convenient.
In the world of swords and magic, sheer sharpness means nothing.
However, in the golden subtitle description of [Insight], Chen Xuan discovered a blind spot.
[Chebman family heirloom dragon steel sword]
[A sword forged from dragon steel extracted from the legendary metal dragon swallowing black iron. It has excellent self-sharpening and armor-breaking capabilities]
[Swallowing a hundred kilograms of black iron can only Digest and temper the dragon steel to forge a sword]
[The dragon steel sword can cause additional damage to the scales of dragons and dragon-born creatures, and can offset the suppression of dragon power to a certain extent] ... You must know that
black
iron can also Used to mint coins.
Although the denomination of a single black iron coin is not high, when the quantity reaches the level of one hundred kilograms, the total value is very high!
In other words, this dragon steel sword belongs to a niche and rare type.
And it can also cause additional damage to dragons. After all, it is a special metal produced by real dragons.
There are dragons in Naroa, Chen Xuan has always known.
There are detailed descriptions and records about real dragons in the "Naroya Grand View".
Moreover, the "Dragon Spear Epic" about dragons and heroes has been circulating in the mainland.
However, in the past few hundred Naloya years, there have been very few records and sightings of real dragons.
There are many types of true dragons, including metallic dragons, abnormal dragons, and five-color dragons, as well as various dragonborn and draconic creatures.
It is said that true dragons are one of the few "upper-class" ethnic groups in the Endless Continent. They are independent and rarely gather together.
Individual strength increases crazily with age.
In addition, the lifespan of a true dragon can generally reach more than 300 Naraya years.
Anyone who exceeds this limit is called the state of an extremely old dragon.
This age range is also the last age for female dragons to give birth.
And this is still not the limit of the lifespan of a true dragon. When the age of a true dragon reaches 400 to 500 Naraya years, it can be called an ancient dragon.
Most ancient dragons possess profound knowledge.
It is said that dragons can live longer, but the books are not clear about this.
Of course, not all real dragons can live such a long life.
Limiting factors such as fighting and individual life spans have made ancient dragons extremely rare.
There is also an ancient name for true dragons, which is "Star Spirit".
It is said that the earliest ancestral true dragon came from the boundless starry sky.
From the illustrations in the book, Chen Xuan discovered that the real dragon mentioned here is basically similar to the Western dragon in the legend of Blue Star, but the classification is more specific.
There is another very contradictory thing, that is, most books have selectively ignored the fact that the Naroa continent is now closed, and instead talk about the evolution history of the entire world.
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan couldn't help curling his lips, and then withdrew his attention.
Before he knew it, his mind wandered far away.
In short, whether it is the current Naroa continent or the ancient Naroa world, there are many secrets waiting for him to discover.
The most important thing before him was to survive the demonic disaster first.
Although the dragon steel sword is very curious, it is the ancestral weapon of the Chebman family after all, and he is embarrassed to take it as his own.
Where can I find the dragon now?
Shaking his head, Chen Xuan returned to the study with the "trophy".
As for Baron Bezos, he still has a lot to do.
Baggage ordnance needs to be deployed and distributed, and personnel mobilization must be monitored at all times.
In addition, based on the possible scale of the demonic disaster, he could also launch a city-wide mobilization order as a baron.
In this world where almost everyone has practiced magic, extraordinary power has long been integrated into the lives of ordinary people.
The most typical ones are the muleteers, porters and laborers in the coolie mule. They basically have the black iron level and can easily lift heavy objects that are more than three times their own body weight.
Putting this kind of power on Blue Star, it would be a strong man per capita.
In the eyes of the native people of Naloa, these laborers are just "lower professions" who dare not go out and take risks to hunt monsters and can only work hard.
This is the essential difference caused by the differences in the world.
The areas of influence can be said to be all-round.
When necessary, most Naroa natives can quickly transform into warriors.
But the enemy they have to face is no weakling.
When crazy monsters have a numerical advantage, that is a real disaster.
No matter what, it is imperative to mobilize the whole city. Even if Chen Xuan does not ask for it, Baron Bezos will do it.
Secondly, another piece of good news is that adventurers and mercenaries are prevalent in the Naroa continent.
There is basically no shortage of all kinds of weapons and baggage.
Let’s not talk about the reserves of the trading house and the armory in the city. Basically everyone will have one or two things prepared.
Even most of the lower-class gangsters and adventurers spend a lot of money on weapons.
The most typical example is the little cat girl Rebecca. She was so poor that she could hardly take the blame, and she also had two relatives at home who were suffering from disasters.
But she still spent more than three hundred crowns to buy a rune dagger.
In the continent of Naroa, a good weapon is one of the few valuable assets an adventurer has.
Therefore, when mobilizing here, the actual conversion rate from civilian to war is very high.
Chen Xuan knew this very early.
Magical cultivation provides the foundation for all people to become soldiers.
After Baron Bezos left, Chen Xuan sent a magic letter to Ophelia again.
Later, the baron will send someone to contact her and place a large-scale purchase order for Bangcheng.
The funds used come from the financial treasury of Bangcheng City Hall.
What Chen Xuan just pulled was the Baron's own small treasury, and he did not get involved in the various financial funds owned by the city.
After all, his original intention was sustainable control, not complete plunder.
There is currently a balance of 30 to 40 million crowns in the state's financial treasury.
The taxation in the city is not heavy, but it cannot support the large scale of trade.
In short, Bangcheng is still very rich.
There are actually not many oligarchs with astonishing wealth like Ansetus and Baron Bezos in the city.
Chen Xuan's plan is to let Bezos, as a baron and chief executive, purchase large quantities of magic tears from the White Rose Caravan.
The price is slightly lower than the market price by 10%, but the total purchase amount will reach tens of millions of crowns.
This batch of magic tears will be immediately distributed to the front-line garrison.
The defensive lines of the villages on the outskirts of the city, and the garrisons on the outer walls and fortresses of the third circle.
The magic tears worth tens of millions of crowns are enough to play a big role in actual defense. After all, for these garrisons, the magic tears are just a supplementary product, which can be regarded as an additional supplement when fighting with real swords and guns.
The natives of Naroa are not so arrogant as when Chen Xuanqing destroyed the caves, throwing magic tears at them for free.
And this is only the first step. Chen has another emergency armed plan.
That is to extract those underworld rats who have already been contracted from the Finger Finger Gang and coolie mules, and bring them to Blue Star to receive expedited training from DKBA germology instructors.
The requirements are not high, as long as you can start using the weapon within two or three days!
As for combat discipline, it can be guaranteed through contracts.
As for combat literacy, let’s not mention it for now!
One Naraya sun is as strong as two blue star skies, no matter how urgent the threat of demonic disaster is.
You can still squeeze in a few days.
In this way, Chen Xuan can use Blue Star firearms to cultivate a rare army.
Utilize the characteristics of various types of firearms to achieve real fire suppression in the Naroa continent.
Light and heavy machine guns and rocket launchers were fired at the monsters, and anyone who came would be bruised and bloody.
In fact, Blue Star and Naroya do have their own advantages and characteristics.
Naroa has an extraordinary system of magic cultivation that can unite all the people, and Blue Star has powerful firearms that can be mass-produced and used for frontline operations. They are both universal in their respective worlds.
After the two are combined, a wonderful chemical reaction can occur.
The current arrangement is very simple, 80% of the garrison will be the main force, stationed on the walls of the three major circles.
The Qingqi Battalion served as support and roamed various defense lines inside and outside the city.
The remaining 20% of the garrison will form a mixed formation with adventurers, mercenaries, some street rats and civilians.
They were stationed in defense lines and fortresses everywhere, including the most dangerous outer village defense lines.
Those villages were located close to the city, all with wooden walls and ballistas set up.
It is said to be a line of defense, but in fact it is full of loopholes and not connected as a whole.
But using those villages as temporary battle fortresses is more than enough.
As the population of settlements and villages outside the city continues to gather in the city, more and more manpower and materials are available in Magatan City.
A large number of people are urgently strengthening various fortifications in the outlying villages.
This includes reinforcing the simple wooden walls with runes, arranging small magic shield generating devices, and preparing fire oil, roadblocks and traps.
The whole city is in a strange kind of frenetic busyness.
The one who has the most leisure time is Chen Xuan.
He planned to count the other harvests from the Baron's treasury first, and then return to Blue Star to move all the batches of standard fungi to the garden space of the Baron's castle.
The large open space around the castle is suitable for storing mushroom fire.
At that time, the batch of fine arts and crafts in the small courtyard on the third circle of the West District will also be moved here for unified storage.
You must know that the Baron Castle is the core area of the city.
And the castle itself is also a building with fungal characteristics!
This is destined to be the last line of defense in Magatan City.
There is no problem at all storing the mushroom fire here.
Baron Bezos will take care of these trivial matters. After a few water hours at most, he will assist Chen Xuan in "cheating" the chief officials of the state and city into a forced contract!
Chen Xuan had to arrange these things into his schedule.
It is not easy to mobilize an entire city, as it involves various issues.
After the above arrangements are made, he will go to the temple and make another divine contract.
Chen Xuan knew this well and had already arranged it in an orderly manner.
The more urgent the moment, the more calm you should be, and do not panic when you are busy.
The more you panic, the harder it will be to get things done!
Putting aside these distracting thoughts, Chen Xuan looked at the void stone placed on the table.
This thing, like those dark gold coins, mithril coins, and orichalcum coins, are Baron Bezos's "savings".
A large piece of Void Stone placed in the outside world can be sold for a lot of money.
Now everything is cheaper for Chen Xuan.
I saw him gently touching the body of the Void Stone with his hand.
[When you come into contact with the Void Stone, you can fuse it]
[After the current fusion, you can increase (storage slot * 13)]
...
"Tsk..."
"The Void Stone the size of a fingernail is called 'Void Particle', and the one the size of a steamed bun can finally be called 'Void Stone'." Chen Xuan was keenly aware of the
change in the name in the prompt, and couldn't help but joke in his heart.
Such a void stone can actually increase his storage space by 13!
After these storage compartments are spliced together, it is more than enough to hold a main battle tank!
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan didn't hesitate at all and chose fusion with a thought!
The void stone on the table turned into gray light and disappeared into his body in an instant.
[Fusion successful]
[Number of storage compartments increased by 13]
[Current storage compartment: 17]
...
The seventeen storage compartments are like small squares in his mind.
Chen Xuan can manipulate them like a Rubik's Cube. Combine and match to get storage spaces of different sizes.
It can also be separated and used separately for storage, which is very convenient to use!
