Chapter 487: : Gems pile up like a mountain (1/2)
You can search for ”Lord Survival: Starting from the Dilapidated Courtyard” in Baidu to find the latest chapter!
Now everything has been arranged.
The next step is to return to the territory and arrange a regular rotation of garrisons.
Before that, Zong Shen had to explore the Griffin Nest.
After all, this nest occupies the entire top of the cliff, covering an area of hundreds of thousands of square meters.
It is also a special building in the wild, there should be something worth exploring.
And in the griffon's nest, Zong Shen also saw a mountain of gems of various colors.
These gems are large and small, and vary in color.
Many of them should be magic gems with elemental magic power.
Because he was sitting on Yingjiang's back and cruising, and the light inside the lair was dim.
So he didn't check it carefully. Compared with these ready-made gems, he was more concerned about the rumors about these gems, that is, griffins love to collect gems and will build nests near gem mines.
The scene has proved the truth of the first message on the spot, and if the second one is also true, then Zong Shenke has developed.
”Is the rumors true?”
”Is there a gem mine near here?”
(The valley 327 kilometers north of this place contains gems that have not been exploited on a large scale, and the reserves are medium
There are some crypt races inhabiting it, which have not been discovered by humans
There is the largest griffon nest so far in the neutral giant city on the top of the mountain cliff called the cliff.
It is also known as the city of griffins, and it is also the most important source of griffin riding beasts in the continent's major human kingdoms.
Within a thousand kilometers near the cliffs, there are a total of 29 small gem mines, 13 medium gem mines, 5 large gem mines, and 2 extra-large gem mines)
”There really is a gem mine!”
Zong Shen was overjoyed and couldn't help crying in a low voice.
Fortunately, these griffins did not understand too complicated human vocabulary.
As if feeling Zong Shen's joy, Ying Jiang also let out a loud hum.
Although it was beaten to death by Zong Shen before being tamed, and its loyalty was only 60 points after being tamed, it was still surrendered anyway.
This is a process of qualitative change, even if it is still a little stubborn in its heart, it will gradually enter the role.
”Eagle sauce, take me there!”
Zong Shen pointed his finger at the place where the gems were piled up in the griffon's nest.
Ying Jiang stretched her neck and led Zong Shen to pass without hesitation.
Griffons have a habit of collecting gems, and have no practical use or purpose. They are simply a hobby in nature.
These guys don't want to be so greedy for money.
Including the gems piled up in the lair, they also picked it up from the gem mine idle and bored.
With the sturdy beaks of the Griffins, the rocks can be easily pecked and the gems sealed in the rock walls can be taken out. It can be seen that there are many stone skins attached to these gems.
They store gemstones in their nests, which is also of great benefit to them.
There are two kinds of gems in this world. The first is ordinary ornamental gems, which do not contain magical elements.
The second type is magic gems. Such gems contain a lot of elemental magic.
It is a commonly used magic item, often used to make magical objects, jewelry equipment, and magic items.
Such as wands, magic wands, and spellcasting books.
Even some rare gems are valuable and can be ground into gem powder.
These powders are even more suitable for engraving magic lines than Mithril.
According to different magic attributes, the corresponding magic gems have different colors and appearances.
Basically equal to the colors shown by those magical attributes.
For example, red often represents flames, ocher is the earth type, golden yellow is the gold type, azure blue is the thunder type, and gray-purple is the arcane. Situations such as this can be applied to almost every type.
Ying Jiang obediently drove him to the side of the gem pile.
Zong Shen leaped flexibly from its back and jumped to the ground.
”Hey...”
As soon as he landed, his feet stepped on the thick pile of bones.
Those who don't know whether it is an animal or a human bone were trampled and broken.
There are almost all kinds of bones on the ground in the entire griffon lair.
I don't know how long these bones have been laid here, most of them are already loose, and there are bone fragments splashing around.
This kind of bone carpet adds a bit of horror to the griffon nest.
But Zong Shen didn't care about these, his attention was all on the pile of gems.
When he walked quickly forward, Ying Jiang had already fluttered his wings and came to the side of the gem pile.
Using this place as a sofa, rubbing against the pile of gems with his huge body, it seems to be very enjoyable.
When it was leaning on the pile of gems, the light cyan wind magic gemstones in it began to play a role, and a burst of wind spirit magic power was like a mist of water around the eagle sauce.
In order to deter those second brother Griffins just now, Yingjiang did not hesitate to come and breathe in the wind blade, consuming a lot of its magic power, and now it can just make up for the shortfall.
As for the gems of other lines, there was no response, after all, the Griffin belongs to the Wind Elemental Warcraft.
Zong Shen is observing with interest and will not be attracted to and affinity with other departments.
He found that Griffins' love of collecting gems does not seem to be just a hobby.
The wind spirit gems among these gems should be helpful to the improvement of the Griffin's strength.
This is a long and subtle process, but all this is his guess.
Zong Shen came to the side of the gem pile, stretched out a hand and began to gently brush it.
He is using the lord's ability to store items to quickly investigate the situation of these gems.
The total number of gems in this pile is quite large, and the gems inside are of various colors, large and small.
It took Zong Shen fifteen or six minutes to filter all of them.
He got the final number through deliberate statistics.
There are a total of 379,000,272 gems here.
More than 70% of them are ordinary gems.
These gems do not possess any magical properties, but they are not completely useless to Zong Shen.
At least among the hypocritical Aboriginal nobles, such gems are still very valuable.
Especially those with large heads, round shapes, and pure colors are excellent materials for processing craft jewelry, which can be exchanged for valuable dinars or other equivalent materials in any giant city.
The role of the dinar is actually very large. It is called the currency of choice, and it has a peculiar ability in itself.
Adding some dinars in the smelting process of some metal materials will gain additional attribute enhancements.
But even in this world, the wealth of wealth has accumulated to a huge number, and no one will use the dinar to forge it at will.
This currency was not issued by a certain power but only appeared after the end of the epoch.
At that time, the dinar became the standard currency in circulation by all major forces overnight.
For the aborigines, it seems like it should be.
To achieve this level, only the lord system with omniscience and omnipotence dominates the entire domain.
These are also some miscellaneous studies that Zong Shen had inquired about when he had nothing to do before.
In short, the dinar represents wealth, as long as you have enough dinar, you can buy everything.
Population, materials, materials, and even various armors and crossbows that were considered forbidden by the major kingdoms.
Long before the knights were born, it was necessary to gather the power of the whole village to build a strong full body armor.
Now it's very different. As long as you have enough dinars, there will be a lot of black market merchants or goblin merchants who will try to get these forbidden items for you.
In this batch of gems, the number of ordinary gems reached 272,075.
The number of magic gems reached 107,197.
Ordinary gems are also divided into many grades and irregular and inferior products full of impurities.
There are also top grades that are as big as a goose egg, beautiful in color and flawless inside.
These need to pass further screening.
The same is true for magic gems, with even more types.
Arcane, Space, Time, Thunder, Wind, Water, Fire...
In addition to the divisions, because of the amount of magic, size, and impurities inside, it has been subdivided into six qualities: elementary, intermediate, advanced, special, top, and super.
It roughly corresponds to the six levels from ordinary to epic. The higher the quality, the fewer the quantity.
Specific needs further induction and classification.
This is not an easy task, even Zong Shen's storage compartment can't collect all the gems.
Want to collect so many gems, only let Howie bring [Hiking Merchant's Badge].
With the storage space that comes with the badge, it takes about a dozen trips.
Mainly these gems have not been precisely processed, and the stone skin on them also takes up a lot of space.
Perhaps it is because the Griffon is a wind-attribute Beast, there are many wind spirit gems among the magic gems.
Among the six levels from elementary to super, the total number of wind spirit gems has reached 27,291.
This accounts for almost 25% of the total number of magic gems.
