BXBX NOVEL Chapter 39: silver mine
Vido and Buso studied the ore crystals in the pit for half a day, and finally came to a conclusion.
Sam Well suddenly smiled and asked quickly:
"Do you know how to refine this silver-silver ore?"
Vido stroked his beard, shook his head in embarrassment and said:
"Sorry, my lord. We can\'t do anything about it. There is no silver mine in Highland City, and we don\'t know how to refine it."
"Then where should I go to find someone who can refine silver ore?"
"The bachelors of the Academy City should be able to."
"Bachelor..." Samwell suddenly felt a little emotional.
Without his time travel, the original owner would have become a bachelor in the end.
It seems that I still have to go to Old Town.
"Okay, I see, you guys go out first."
"Yes, my lord."
Regarding this newly discovered silver mine, Samwell did not keep the two of them secret.
Because too many people are involved in the mining, refining, and casting of silver mines, it is too difficult to keep it secret.
Besides, in Westeros, mining silver mines without permission is a felony.
If Samwell was willing to take this risk, why didn\'t he just agree to Mrs. Olenna and become a pirate?
Anyway, being caught is a consequence.
Of course, the silver mine was discovered on his territory, which no one can take away.
It\'s just that if you want to mine, you must obtain the king\'s consent.
Silver mines are generally mined, except for a small amount of luxury goods such as silver jewelry and silver tableware, most of them are used to mint silver deer coins.
The right to mint coins is of course firmly in the hands of the royal family.
He who discovered the silver mine had to be authorized by the king before he could mint silver coins. The king will also send someone to supervise the minting of silver coins, and take a part of it as an authorization fee.
Most of the income from this silver mine still belongs to Samwell.
Why is the Lannister family the richest family in the Seven Kingdoms? Not because of the gold mines beneath Casterly Rock.
The silver mine in front of me is certainly not as valuable as the gold mine, and I don’t know how many reserves it has, but it has already surprised Samwell.
After all, everyone thought that the Crimson Mountains were a barren land with nothing, and Samwell originally planned to make money by brewing brandy.
Now that there is this silver mine, the development speed of the territory will surely reach a new level.
He who was still frowning just now because of the sudden increase in the number of his subordinates, is not worried at all now.
With this silver mine, he will have more confidence to "raise investment".
Moreover, the significance of this silver mine to Samwell is not only wealth.
According to his previous conjecture, the real effective substance to increase the strength attribute is probably the silver in the silver leaf grass.
So, why not just eat silver?
Samwell gritted his teeth and hesitated.
However, he ate so much silver leaf grass just now, his silver intake should not be low, and he didn\'t feel any discomfort in his body. Instead, he could clearly feel the increase in strength, as if his whole body had endless energy.
In this way, he can indeed digest silver.
Thinking of this, Samwell picked up a small piece of ore in front of him, as if he was about to put it into his mouth, but he hesitated, and put it back.
This kind of silver ore has too many impurities, and it may cause problems if eaten directly.
So, he took out a silver deer coin from his pocket and threw it into his mouth.
Gulp—
The hard silver coin scratched Samwell\'s throat.
But the next moment, he didn\'t care about this anymore, because the power attribute increased by 0.01 as expected!
Silver is really working!
From this point of view, the silver content of five silver-leaf grasses is about the same as one silver deer.
What about goldentail shrimp?
Samwell has specifically inquired before that golden tail shrimp is a specialty of Bright Water City, and this kind of shrimp can only be caught in a lake connected to the Honey Wine River.
So, Samwell suspected that there might be a gold mine under that lake!
The shrimps growing in the lake have been devouring the sediment mixed with gold at the bottom of the lake for a long time, which has caused the gold element to enrich in the body and become golden tail shrimps.
Of course, even if he guessed that there might be a gold mine at the bottom of the lake, Samwell couldn\'t mine it. After all, it was the territory of the Florens family.
Even if Samwell\'s mother actually came from the Florens family, the things there have nothing to do with him.
However, you can try to see if eating gold directly can also improve the strength attribute.
Thinking of this, Samwell took out a golden dragon coin and threw it into his mouth.
After a while, the strength attribute really increased, and the increase was 0.02.
My good guy, this time I really became a krypton gold player.
Wait a moment.
Samwell suddenly realized that since gold and silver can be used, what about other ores?
So, he took out another copper plate and threw it into his mouth.
Waited for a while, but there was no response.
It seems that copper is not good...
As for other metals, Samwell decided to wait until later to try slowly, otherwise he was afraid that his chrysanthemum would not be able to bear it.
However, it is estimated that there is little hope.
After all, golden fingers, there is no picky eater...
After learning that gold and silver are the substances that can really enhance the attribute of strength, Samwell fell into the trouble of happiness.
These two substances are actually not rare, they are—
expensive!
But expensive is not the fault of gold and silver, but his own fault...
Still have to make money as soon as possible.
Thinking of the extent to which directly devouring gold and silver can improve the strength attribute, Samwell\'s heart is hot.
Based on the fact that one golden dragon increases the strength by 0.02, if the effect decay is not considered, as long as there are one hundred golden dragons, the strength can be increased by a full 2 points!
Of course, it must not be calculated like this.
According to previous experience, the same substance will cause tolerance, the more you eat, the worse the effect on improving attributes will be.
Fortunately, although gold and silver are precious, the total amount is still a lot. As long as he keeps eating, one day he will be able to pile up his strength attributes to a terrifying level.
At that time, even if you really meet a dragon, you can break your wrists.
Then let\'s start with the silver mine in front of us.
Of course, it cannot be eaten directly, it must be refined first.
Samwell originally planned to go to Arbor Island, but now it seems that he has to go to Old Town again to see if he can lure a bachelor back from the Academy City.
In the next two days, Samwell personally ran through the thirteen newly surrendered tribal camps. While appeasing people\'s hearts, he appointed village chiefs, affairs officers, tax officers, and justices of the peace. Everything is dealt with.
After finishing all this work, he took Todd Flower and Cheeman, accompanied by twenty guards, and left the territory.
The reason for taking Cheeman away is very simple. Samwell doesn\'t trust this "mad dog", and he must take it with him to watch him to be at ease.
As for Todd Buddha Flower, although he is not trustworthy, at least Samwell is not worried that this person will make trouble for him. The reason why he brought him this time is entirely because the other party is the illegitimate child of Qingting Island.
A group of people headed west along the northern shore of the Summer Sea, and soon walked out of the Crimson Mountains, and came to the territory of the Kuy family-Yangwu City.
In fact, at first, Samwell planned to go straight to Qingting Island, and did not intend to go into the city to visit the Cue family.
But now, after the population of the territory has exploded, the problem of food shortage is extremely serious. It may not be too late for him to buy food on Qingting Island before transporting it back.
So, he decided to stay in Yangwu City for a while, buy some food and transport it back for emergency.
Since he chose to enter the city, out of courtesy, Samwell sent a soldier ahead of time to send a letter of visit to the Cue family.
