The continuous expansion of the town for seven or eight days had mobilized more than half of the idle people in the town. Anyway, as long as there was money, everything was not a problem.
Cutting the mountain to build a road, leading directly to the iron mine and the mithril mine.
The mithril mine was not occupied by the Orcs, so William naturally had to dig. After all, no one would complain about having too much mithril.
Expanding the streets and repairing the houses.
Integrating all the buildings in the town, he wanted to plan six residential areas.
Humans, half-elves, elves, dwarves, barracks, blacksmiths, some manufacturing rooms and so on.
Of course, entertainment and cultural facilities could not be lacking.
The bathhouse had to be built. Many civilians had raised objections to him. There were no public bathhouses in the town, only a Rainbow River. It did not matter if men bathed. They could find a place where no one was and strip naked before picking up soap …
But women had to carry water back home, which was really troublesome.
But most of the daily water was also 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, located above the Rainbow River. The skills would be completed by mages and dwarves.
The prosperity of the Border Town also made the civilians in the territory feel at ease.
Many races coexisted in the town, but there were not too many communication barriers. After all, this was the legendary continent …
They spoke in the common language …
Although each race had their own language, this was also the language for communication within the race.
As for whether there would be some inconveniences in living habits?
William had tried his best to separate their residential areas. If there was really any inconvenience, then they could roll up their sleeves and fight. He could be the referee …
The dwarves' construction talent was very good. If they did not pay attention to the aesthetic aspects, all the buildings they built would give people a sense of security. Their ability to build fortifications was the best in the Gods' continent.
However, the dwarves were the best in terms of building. They were also very talented in researching new equipment. Although they could not be compared to the gnomes, they were equally outstanding.
…
The scorching sun shone high, insects and birds chirped.
Whether it was in the town or in the dense forest, it did not give people a cool feeling.
Because of the tidal air in the forest, it would only make people feel even more stuffy. The trees that were cut down to clear the road were not wasted. Instead, they were carried back to the town and used as materials to build houses.
Odom alone carried the tree that required three people to wrap their arms around it and threw it on the ground, causing smoke and dust to rise.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up the canteen, and poured the water on his golden hair, which shone dazzlingly under the sunlight.
This was the thirty-second tree he had carried back!
It had to be said.
In terms of hard 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 discernible, giving off a kind of seductive feeling.
He looked at William, who was drinking his juice. "The construction of the town takes too much time. I don't even know when it will be completed."
William touched Bear Two, who was biting his pants. "How long has it been?"
"There are 4300 residents in the town and 800 soldiers. Among them, 300 soldiers are always guarding the two mines as supervisors. Now, there are only 2700 people who can follow the expansion of the town.
"According to the current number of people, even if we build houses day and night, and finally build the fortifications, it will take about half a year.
"This is also because there are many professionals among the workers. Otherwise, the time will be dragged out even longer."
Odom drank a mouthful of water and continued. "I know what you're thinking. You want to build a perfect foundation and even an underground system for future expansion. But according to this construction method, there are too few people, and it will take a long time."
William kicked away Bear Two, who was biting his shoes, and said bluntly, "I'll think of a way to buy a batch of slaves from the Black Lava Nation!"
"How many gold coins are left in the town?" Odom's mouth twitched. The construction of the town was not free. Everyone had to pay wages.
"Isn't there an iron mine? Recently, the iron mines and iron essence produced are enough to sell for more than 500 gold coins. Together with the mythril … "At this point, William and Odom were a little depressed.
The mythril that the Dwarfs had dug out in the past few years had all been refined, and the quantity was as much as 1680 kilograms!
What kind of concept was this?
This was a huge sum of money!
Mythril was as light as a feather and as hard as a dragon's scales. It was a little exaggerated to say that mythril was a few times harder than steel, but its weight was less than half of steel.
With this 1680 kilograms of mythril and a skilled blacksmith, they could create 3360 pieces of silver equipment.
Or they could become magic materials for mages. There were many uses.
Anyway.
One kilogram of mythril could be exchanged for at least 100 gold coins.
In a place with less mythril, the value was higher. For a small place like the Black Lava Nation, which did not produce mythril at all, and relied on importing it from other nations. If one really wanted to ask for a price, it was not impossible for one kilogram of mythril to be sold for nearly 150 gold coins. Even if there was a price, there was no market for it.
And the iron mines could not be sold for a price. The name of the Iron Nation was very obvious. There were as many as three to five iron mines in the nation, and there was so much steel that they had to be thrown out. It was a really sad story …
So, this was the reason why William chose to go to the Black Lava Nation to trade.
Now, the situation between the two nations was extremely tense. The old king of the Black Lava Nation was bedridden because of his injuries in his early years. He looked like he was about to go to hell.
And this kind of situation made the Iron Nation have some bad ideas. They were preparing to start a war.
Some key war resources would definitely not be sold to the Black Lava Nation. Even if there were private transactions between the nobles, the quantity was very small. So, the iron mines could be sold at a good price in the Black Lava Nation.
But no matter how the prince of the Black Lava Nation fought for power, and no matter how ignorant and incompetent he was, when the City of Dawn revealed a treasure like mythril, 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. He could print the symbols of other nations on the mythril. Among them, the most proficient was the symbol of the Lonely Mountain Empire …
This method could make people think that the mythril was obtained from somewhere and not from the mythril mines.
"But if we really print the symbols of other nations, we can't sell too much mythril. Otherwise, it will arouse suspicion!" William did not have a good idea at the moment.
He could sell the mythril in other places, such as across regions.
But he had neither time nor flying mounts. There were no teleportation formations or space doors in this broken place. He would definitely be robbed along the way.
The place he appeared in now belonged to the beginner's village. Even the most powerful guy was only over level 60. If he really met someone, he could struggle and resist. If he really could not do it, and if he really wanted to kill everyone, William could also do something …
But if he left the beginner's village and wandered around, even if Lautner fought to the death, he would not be able to protect him.
"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 them that was beyond friendship.
"Who said that we have to trade with humans? We can obviously trade with elves!" William smacked 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 brought by his identity.
Although the border town was very far from the Dark Night City, he knew that there was a bustling elven town more than a hundred miles to the east. There were many Blackleaf elves living there.
He could sell a portion of the mythril to those elves and use the gold coins to buy other resources in the human nations.
It was more troublesome, but the safety factor was greatly increased.
