The expansion of the town for seven to eight days had almost mobilized more than half of the idle people in the town. Anyway, as long as they paid, everything was not a problem.
The road was paved and led straight to the iron and mithril veins.
The Mithril vein was not occupied by the Beastmen, so William naturally had to excavate it. After all, no one would complain about having too little Mithril.
Streets were expanded and houses were repaired.
He had to organize all the buildings in the town and plan out six residential areas.
Humans, Half-Elves, Elves, Dwarves, Barracks, Blacksmiths, etc.
Of course, entertainment and cultural facilities were also indispensable.
A bathhouse was a must. Many commoners had given him suggestions. There was no public bathhouse in the town, only a rainbow river. It did not matter if a man took a bath. He could just find a place with no one and strip naked to pick up soap…
However, the woman had to carry the water back home. It was really troublesome.
However, most of their daily water was taken from the Rainbow River. This feeling was very bad, as if there was something in their throats!
What was worse was that many single men knew that they had done worse things in the river, such as using fish…
At the same time.
William also wanted to build a beautiful central fountain, which would be located above the Rainbow River. The technique would be completed by the mages and dwarves.
The prosperous Border Town made the civilians in the territory feel at ease.
Many races coexisted in the town, but there were not many communication barriers. After all, this was the Legendary continent…
They were all speaking the common language…
Although every race had their own language, it was also the language used for internal communication.
As for whether there would be some inconvenience in his living habits?
William had already tried his best to separate their residential areas. If there was any inconvenience, he could roll up his sleeves and do it. He could be the referee…
The Dwarves were talented in construction. If they didn't pay attention to aesthetics, all the buildings they built would give people a sense of security. Their ability to build fortifications was top-notch in the Gods Continent.
However, the dwarves were the best at forging and were also very talented in researching new equipment. Although they could not be compared to the gnomes in this aspect, they were still outstanding.
………………
The sun was shining high in the sky, and the insects and birds were chirping.
Whether it was in the small town or in the dense primeval forest, it did not give people a cool feeling.
Because the tidal air in the forest would only make people feel more stuffy and hot, the trees that were cut down for cultivation were not wasted. Instead, they were carried back to the town as materials for building houses.
Odom carried the tree that was surrounded by three people and threw it on the ground, causing dust to rise.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up the kettle, and poured the water on his golden hair. The sunlight shone brightly.
This was the 32nd tree he had carried back!
It had to be said.
In terms of manual labor, professionals had a greater advantage and earned more money...
He was only wearing a white linen shirt, and his chest was slightly exposed. His strong muscles with scars were faintly visible, giving him an alluring feeling.
He looked at William, who was drinking juice.""The construction of the town will take too much time. I don't even know when it will be completed.”
William stroked Bear Two, who was biting his pants.""How long will it take?"
"The town has 4300 residents and 800 soldiers. Among them, 300 soldiers have been guarding the two mines as supervisors. Currently, only 2700 people are allowed to expand the town.
Based on the current number of people, even if they built houses day and night and finally built fortifications, it would take about half a year.
This was also due to the fact that there were many professionals among the staff. Otherwise, the time would have been even longer.”
Odom took a sip of water and continued,"" I know what you're thinking. You want to build a perfect foundation and even an underground system so that you can expand it in the future. However, according to this construction method, there are too few people. It will take a long time.”
William kicked Big Bear, who was biting his shoes, and said bluntly,""I'll think of a way to buy a batch of slaves from the Black Lava Dukedom!”
" How many gold coins are left in the town?" Odom's mouth twitched. Building a town wasn't free. They had to pay wages.
"Isn't there an iron mine? " The iron ores that have been produced recently, as well as a lot of iron essence, can be sold for more than 500 gold coins. In addition to the mithril…" William and Odom were a little depressed.
The Mithril that the Dwarf Race had dug up over the past few years had all been refined, and the amount was as much as 1680 jin!
What kind of concept was this?
This was a huge sum of money!
Mithril was as light as a feather and as hard as dragon scales. It was a bit of an exaggeration to say that. However, mithril was several times harder than steel, but its weight was less than half that of steel.
With this 1680 pounds of Mithril and a skilled blacksmith, he could forge 3360 pieces of Silver equipment.
It could also be turned into a magic material for mages. It had many uses.
In short.
1 jin of Mithril was worth at least 100 gold coins.
In a region where there was less Mithril, the value would be higher. For example, the Black Lava Dukedom did not produce Mithril at all and relied solely on imported Mithril from other countries. If one really wanted a price, it was not impossible for one jin of Mithril to cost nearly 150 gold coins. In fact, this was a price that could not be bought.
Iron ores were basically unsellable, and the Iron Dukedom's name was very obvious. There were as many as three to five iron mines in the Iron Dukedom, and there was so much steel that they had to throw it out. It had to be said that this was a sad story...
Therefore, this was also the reason why William chose to go to the Black Lava Dukedom for the trade.
The situation between the two dukedoms was extremely tense. The old king of the Black Lava Dukedom was bedridden due to his injuries. He looked like he was about to go to hell.
This situation also made the Iron Dukedom have some terrible thoughts, which was to prepare for war.
Therefore, some of the key war resources would definitely not be sold to the Black Lava Dukedom. Even if there were private transactions between nobles, the amount would be very small. Therefore, the iron ore vein could be sold at a good price in the Black Lava Dukedom.
However, no matter how much the prince of the Black Lava Dukedom fought for power and how ignorant he was, when the City of Dawn revealed a treasure like Mithril, it would attract the attention and greed of many people.
"Why don't we carve some marks?"
"Hmm?" William did not understand. After Odom's explanation, he gradually understood.
Odom had some unique techniques that allowed him to print the symbols of other countries on the mithril. The most skilled of them was the symbol of the former Lonely Mountain Empire.
This method could make them think that they had obtained the mithril from somewhere and not dug it out from the mithril vein.
"However, if the symbol of another country is really printed, the amount of Mithril sold cannot be too much, or it will arouse suspicion!”William did not have any good ideas.
It was also possible to sell Mithril in other places, such as across regions.
However, he didn't have the time, nor did he have a flying mount. This lousy place didn't have a teleportation array or a spatial gate. He would definitely be robbed on the way.
The place he was at now was a novice village. Even the strongest players were only level 60. If they really encountered him, they could still struggle and resist. If they really had to kill him, William could also make a deal…
However, if he left the novice village and went out for fun, Lautner would not be able to protect him even if he risked his life.
"Lautner!"
" Lautner!" William suddenly shouted in surprise. His excited expression made Odom take a few steps back. He thought that there was some dirty relationship between the two of them that went beyond friendship.
"Who said that we have to make a deal with humans? We can obviously make a deal with elves!”William slapped his head. He had been a player for too long in his previous life. He had always used the lifestyle of a player and had forgotten the advantages of his identity.
Although Border Town was very far from Dark Night City, he knew that there was a prosperous elf town more than a hundred miles east. Many Blackleaf elves lived there.
He could sell a portion of the mythril to the elves and use the gold coins to buy other supplies from the human nations.
It was a little troublesome, but the safety factor had greatly increased.
