Currently, they occupy a very small part of the south, and the other parts are occupied by other monsters. It is said that there is a powerful beholder inside.

Because the area they were in was in a wild magic area, the beholder and its servants were too restrained, so it never came.

Lord Arada never provokes them.

As for the number of personnel, they have never made detailed statistics, so I can give you a rough estimate."

"It is estimated that the data will be available." Gavin asked if he wanted to understand the general situation of this place. He would definitely send his own people to settle in to conduct detailed sorting and control.

"There are a total of three hundred dragon guards like him, and there are more than a thousand kobold silver miners. The number of servants such as hobgoblins and goblins fluctuates greatly. There should be two to three hundred." Harpy kobolds

replied.

For a dragon of Ji Peng's strength, the number of servants he has is relatively large.

Because they are the ones most likely to attract the prying eyes of those dragon slayers. They have certain treasures and their strength is not invincible.

Therefore, they generally do not set up a permanent dragon nest and gather too many monster servants. Even if they do not have any, most of them are elite and can move with them at any time.

Is it possible that Jipeng has so many kobold servants due to a series of comprehensive factors?

Firstly, was it covered by a wild magical area, and secondly, was it necessary for them to dig silver mines for themselves? In other words, those kobolds were the aborigines of Nankript. After he occupied the place, he took those kobolds under his command.

East.

While Gavin combined the information with his common sense, he continued to ask: "How much is the output of the silver mine? What is the valuation of the Dragon's Nest treasure?"

"The average monthly output of coarse silver bricks is about one ton. Even Lord Arada cannot tell the valuation of Dragon's Nest Treasure, because it is mainly composed of coarse silver bricks, and the quantity is no more than one hundred tons...

"

Gavin suddenly straightened up and said with a serious expression: "Am I sure it's rough silver bricks and not raw silver ore? We are proficient in the purification and casting process of silver ore?"

There are no ore veins of astonishing purity, but they often appear on the earth elemental plane.

In the material plane, most mineral veins contain various minerals mixed together and need to be purified.

If the silver content in the ore can reach more than ten percent, it is considered a rich ore.

That would explain why Gavin didn't show much excitement when he heard there was a silver mine there.

He has not mastered the technology of refining silver ore. Even if it can be mined on a large scale, he still can't make wedding dresses for others. He can only get a small amount of mining profits. When the time comes, he will have to divide his troops to protect it. Except for a short time, it will not be of much value.

But if it turns into a rough silver brick, its properties will be different.

This means that the initial smelting and purification has been completed, and the initial refining and casting are required before it becomes a silver coin. The silver content in it reaches 60% to 70%. Even without those impurities, most of them are other useful minerals.

"No, just rough silver bricks." Aka replied, "In that dwarf castle, there is an ancient silver smelting production line. They restarted it, so the production speed is very limited. The maximum per month is

It only produces about one ton.”

"Hey, take him to see it." Gavin's interest was completely aroused. He didn't expect that killing a Ji Peng would actually yield a huge amount of cash.

One hundred tons of rough silver bricks, even if it is calculated at the lowest purity of 60%, is equivalent to 60 tons of red silver. If it can be purified and made into silver coins, it is enough to mint two million pure silver coins, with a value equivalent to 20

Thousands of gold coins.

But red silver is not only used for currency, especially during the purification process of red silver, various impurities are produced, many precious metals belonging to red silver associated ores, mixed with gold and diamonds are not rare, and have commercial value.

Maybe higher.

To put it simply, if one hundred tons of rough silver bricks were not transported to Glory City, the market price would be at least 250,000 to 300,000.

"Two adults, please follow him." Aka respectfully led the way.

"How can we support our large population?" Gavin asked as he walked.

Wanting the dragon to buy things with money is basically a dream. Just listen to the number of rough silver bricks in the dragon's nest. After Jipeng occupied that city, 80% of the rough silver bricks produced were moved into the cave.

into his dragon's lair.

"The dwarves once opened a garden farm there, as if they were blessed by the gods. They only cultivated it and planted a small piece of land. The food grown was enough to meet their monthly needs." Aka answered.

He said, "When you arrive, don't go there."

As a huge stone door was pushed open, a terrifying heat wave hit the face, followed by a clanking sound of forging, and the sound of steam gushing. A group of strong kobolds with red scales were standing there.

Walking around a huge machine.

A majestic and incredible Didong lava silver smelting production line appeared in front of Gavin.

Seeing the situation in front of him, Gavin was not surprised, but showed an expression that was indeed true.

In Faerûn, there are not only industrial factories, but they are usually very cutting-edge ones. From the perspective of the earth, they are a bit unbelievable.

That kind of industrialization is like magic, with serious gaps, because it is not climbed up bit by bit through the overall technology tree, but a magic industry realized through magic.

Among them, the human Netheril Empire is not a model. Back then, they cut off the mountains and built the floating city upside down. It is still talked about by all the intelligent races in the continent. No one can surpass it, even if they are the only ones in the world.

The remaining orthodox continuation of the mage kingdom Halua only retains the construction method of the aerospace boat.
