The arrival of the Masters brought about earth-shattering changes to the territory. Once the talents were in place, the infrastructure quickly caught up. The blacksmith shop, the mill, the jewelry shop … A series of secondary occupation buildings were quickly upgraded to level 5.
This was a critical level with extraordinary significance.
The blacksmith shop was upgraded to a foundry, and it could finally produce standard gold equipment.
The mill was upgraded to a pastry shop. In addition to the rye series of food, it could also produce "refined snacks," "cookies," "delicious cakes," and other high-end food.
In addition, the Master Brewer from the Imperial Capital opened a new winery that could brew ale that could restore physical strength. Unfortunately, the winery had just opened. Even with the Master Brewer, it was only a level 3 secondary occupation building. Other than ale, stout, and a few other alcoholic drinks, there was nothing else.
For this reason, the Master Brewer had also chased the city lord's office and requested to urgently build the necessary buildings for the winery. He had many carefully mixed ancestral secret wines with various special effects, but the winery had to be upgraded to level 5 to become a winery before it could be brewed.
The upgrade of the secondary occupation building also increased the military power of the territory.
The appearance of composite bows, standard light steel armor, and other technical equipment also allowed Cecilia to finally train the troop she was best at in the military camp — the Winged Cavalry!
The Winged Cavalry was a flexible and versatile troop that was suitable for both long-range and short-range attacks. They could use long-range weapons such as flintlocks and composite bows to suppress fire. When necessary, they could also charge and break through the enemy's formation. They had the attacking ability of light cavalry and the attacking ability of heavy cavalry. They were considered the top troop class in the Cain Dimension.
If there was a flaw, it would be that they were too expensive. Not to mention that the current financial situation of the White Stone Territory was only barely maintained by the blood transfusions from the central government of the Empire.
This was also because the Northern Land was too desolate. Large areas of mineral resources were undeveloped, and large areas of high-quality farmland were uncultivated. Cecilia was using the financial resources of two cities to support the army of the entire province. It was normal for her to be financially strapped.
However, Bai Xiaowen's opinion was that the Winged Cavalry must be trained, and as many as there were! For this, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the long-term development of the territory.
If someone else had suggested this, they would most likely have been labeled as militaristic. However, since it was Bai Xiaowen who suggested it, Cecilia did not hesitate at all.
Borrowing money, buying on credit, selling minerals … There were even new merchant forces from the central province who wanted to buy a few noble titles in the Northland. Cecilia had to pinch her nose and agree.
The territory's finances were constantly in the red, and they were burdened with debt. However, this did not affect Bai Xiaowen's ability to transport goods from the warehouse and place them in the virtual shops on Earth to earn a lot of money. To be more precise, the appearance of a batch of Level 5 Secondary Profession Constructions allowed Saber Dazhong's shop to once again welcome a wave of explosive sales growth, and Bai Xiaowen's profits were even greater.
First, tell me the reason. There were two types of products for the various professions in the territory. The first type was products that could not be brought out of the Kane Plane. They were mainly for the military and civilian needs of the territory. The other type was products that could be brought out of the Kane Plane. They were mainly for the sales of the shops that had a lot of customers.
These two products were two independent systems that worked side by side. There was no such thing as an increase in A and a decrease in B. There was no correlation between the two.
Take the blacksmith shop, which was now the foundry, as an example. As long as there was a Level 5 foundry, it meant that there would be a production capacity of 3,000 points that could be brought out of the Kane Plane. This meant that there would be a daily production of three standard gold equipment (or 60 blue equipment).
These 3,000 points of production capacity could not be given to the territory for development. If there were 60 standard blue equipment produced, even if Bai Xiaowen wanted to give it to the territory's army, he would not be able to use it.
Besides, it was normal for the sales of the virtual shops to explode.
Originally, Saber Dazhong's shop, which had a lot of customers, only had low-end products. At most, it would occasionally add a few high-end goods that Bai Xiaowen and the others had obtained. In terms of profitability, it mainly depended on the stable and cheap supply of low-end products. There was no way to have a stable supply of high-end goods.
Now, mid-range goods (such as blue equipment) and high-end goods (such as gold equipment) could all be produced in the territory!
This was terrifying. The shop could completely transform. With extremely low costs and a stable supply of goods, it could seize the mid-range and high-end market. Everyone knew that the profit margin of the high-end market was the largest.
Moreover, the upgrade to a Level 5 subprofession building had a surge in production capacity (from 1,000 points to 3,000 points). It could also ensure a sufficient supply of goods.
In addition to the new brewery, the Master of Inscription from the Imperial Capital had finally filled the gap of the territory's lack of Mages and Inscriptionists. As the most common type of tool, magic scrolls would become another popular product in the territory.
…
North of White Stone City, the drow's temporary military camp.
Cecilia and Matriarch Cynthia sat opposite each other.
Matriarch Cynthia's skin was deathly pale. Livor mortis had grown in many places on her originally white skin. The two priestesses of the Knosolis Tribe behind her were in an even worse situation. Their eyes had already turned scarlet.
This was a sign of necromancy.
"The spider's toxin is gradually unable to suppress the Necromancy Plague. A month has passed. The special medicine that you promised … Where is it? "
Matriarch Cynthia suddenly stood up and tore off her clothes in front of Cecilia and the two knights.
"Look at these ugly scars. Even my body is beginning to emit the stench of necromancy. You, if you continue to shirk responsibility, the elites of my tribe will all become the Necromancy Plague! They will become the claws of the Lord of Pestilence and devour you in turn.
Of course, before I become the Necromancy Plague, I will make you pay the price you deserve. I promise. "
In the face of Matriarch Cynthia's threat, Cecilia smiled calmly. "Matriarch, you misunderstand. This time, I came here personally to provide you with the special medicine that is the bane of the plague. We are well aware of your strategic value, especially when fighting against the Lord of Pestilence. We cannot do without the support of the Knosolis Tribe. If you become the claws of the Lord of Pestilence, it will all be over. "
Cecilia nodded slightly. Behind her, the captain of the knights, Marco, stepped forward and took out a rectangular wooden box. He slowly opened it.
A row of medicine rippled with blue light, dazzling the eyes.
Cecilia sighed. "The improved virus of the Lord of Pestilence is more stubborn than expected. Our Lord Erudite worked tirelessly, forgetting to eat and sleep. He was so tired that his entire body was blue, and his hair and teeth were almost falling out. Only yesterday did he create the special medicine. After it was verified, I immediately sent it over personally. This is enough to prove the importance I place on your side. "
Matriarch Cynthia pulled up her clothes, and like a spring breeze, she changed her expression and smiled. "Thank you, Lord Erudite, for your selfless contribution."
