The reason why he was disappointed was because Jiang Rou said that she could only take out 40 gold coins, which was 400,000 copper coins. However, that was only enough to buy five energy stones, and if Zhao Fu wanted to buy energy stones, he would need far too much gold coins.
The 1,000 slots in the Heaven and Earth Refining Formation would require at least 1,000 energy stones. Zhao Fu had asked Old Logue how to make a godly spirit descend, and Old Logue's reply was that a godly spirit could not descend with its main body, but it could send a clone. Through a large number of sacrifices, it would be possible.
Zhao Fu had no idea how powerful a godly spirit's clone would be. Even though it was only a weak godly spirit, it would definitely be very powerful, so 1,000 energy stones was a must. Energy stones cost 10 gold coins each, so 10 of them would be 100 gold coins. 1,000 energy stones would cost 10000 gold coins, which was equivalent to 100 million copper coins.
Zhao Fu wondered if he had gone crazy to spend so much money for an uncertain benefit. However, after thinking about it, that was a supreme godly spirit that could control the lives and deaths of countless creatures. If he refined it, it would definitely leave behind something that could defy the heavens and change one's fate.
As such, Zhao Fu did not care about Jiang Rou's 400,000 copper coins at all. However, after thinking about it, it was already quite good for a large family to take out 400,000 copper coins.
Zhao Fu first asked the manager what privileges he had as a Baron, and he found out that he could hire 10 Stage 1 soldiers in Holy Light City. As for property, apart from the City Hall, he could buy up to 10 properties.
After hearing about this, Zhao Fu gave up on any thoughts of profiteering from real estate. He could only buy 10 properties, and he did not know who to sell them to. The large families were simply too poor.
Zhao Fu decided to do Jiang Rou a favor and take her 40 gold coins to buy a property for her. Ordinary residential areas cost tens of thousands of copper coins, and those along the streets cost hundreds of thousands of copper coins. This time, Jiang Rou bought a relatively prosperous street on the South Main Street, which cost 310,000 copper coins.
Zhao Fu helped her buy this property and returned the rest of the money to Jiang Rou.
The matter that had been bothering Jiang Rou for a long time had been resolved, and she now treated Zhao Fu as an ordinary person. She looked incredibly grateful as she said, "Thank you, Zhao Xin!"
Zhao Fu did not mind and nodded. There were not many benefits to buying property, so Zhao Fu did not plan to participate. Now that he knew about the privileges of a Baron, Zhao Fu felt a bit disappointed.
In actuality, hiring ten Stage 1 soldiers seemed quite good, and if it was an ordinary village, he would have hired them long ago. However, he had a Legendary grade village with a special legacy, while these system main cities were only Gold grade. Zhao Fu's Great Qin's Great Qin's Great Qin's Great Qin's Great Qin's Great Qin's Great Qin's Great Qin's Great Qin's Great Qin's Great Qin's
Zhao Fu could hire those 10 soldiers, but he could not guarantee that they would be completely loyal to him. If news of his Legendary grade village was leaked, even the system main cities would not be able to resist.
After saying goodbye, Zhao Fu, Li and Zhao Li, Jiang, Li, Jiang, and Rou, Zhao, Qin, and returned, Jiang. Suddenly, someone came to report, "Your Majesty, we've discovered a massive bronze concentrate mine 53 kilometers west of Qin Village."
Hearing this, Zhao Fu couldn't help but feel delighted. Bronze concentrate was a type of ore that looked like bronze, but it could be used to forge Blue grade equipment. Just how big was it?
Zhao Fu called over Saar, who was the leader of the scouting party. After asking about the situation, he found out that the bronze concentrate mine was an open-pit mine that covered two kilometers. If so much was exposed, then there would be even more underground. Zhao Fu couldn't help but feel excited.
At that moment, Saar said, "Your Majesty! There's a Grey Dwarf Tribe of roughly 1,000 or so people there. "
Hearing this, Zhao Fu nodded and gathered all of the soldiers to head to the bronze concentrate mine.
…
After arriving, Zhao Fu looked quite shocked. There was not a single tree in front of him, and he could not see the bottom of the mine. The ground was covered with the faint azure ore.
Even though he had heard that the bronze concentrate mine was very big, Zhao Fu hadn't expected it to be so big.
By now, the Grey Dwarves who were mining discovered Zhao Fu's group and immediately dropped their tools in fear. They ran back to the village, and the entire village went on guard. The Grey Dwarves put on bronze concentrate armor and held bronze concentrate axes and hammers.
Zhao Fu led his people to surround the Grey Dwarf Village. Seeing that the 1,000 Grey Dwarves were all equipped with excellent and brand-new Blue grade equipment, Zhao Fu felt quite envious.
Zhao Fu looked at the Grey Dwarf Village and did not plan to directly attack. After all, these were blacksmiths, and after occupying this place, it would be up to them to turn the ore into equipment.
Following this, Zhao Fu called a Grey Dwarf to act as a translator and said loudly, "I don't want to hurt you. You all know how valuable this massive bronze concentrate mine is. Even if it doesn't fall into my hands today, it will fall into someone else's hands. As long as you surrender to me, your lives will not change at all. Moreover, I'll send people to protect you. "
After yelling these words, Zhao Fu saw that the Grey Dwarves did not respond, so he gestured to Bai Qi. Bai Qi immediately ordered 60 ballistae to be brought out. They had made many ballistae over the past few days, and they were all aimed at the Grey Dwarves.
"I'll say it again: I don't want to hurt you, but don't force me!"
Zhao Fu yelled again, and seeing that there was still no response, he ordered the ballistae to be fired. 100 or so ballistae bolts shot out, giving off a shocking aura. Of course, Zhao Fu did not directly shoot at the Grey Dwarves, and he instead flew over their heads. The ballistae bolts' immense power pierced through their wooden houses.
Seeing how powerful the ballistae were, there was finally some movement from the Grey Dwarf Village. A big-bearded Grey Dwarf walked out and yelled, "Sir, will you really keep your promise? As long as we surrender to you, will you really not change our lives, and will you send people to protect us? "
Zhao Fu knew that he was not sending these Grey Dwarves to fight; their value lay in their forging. Moreover, with so much bronze concentrate mine, these 1,000 Grey Dwarves would not be able to use it all in ten or so years. As such, he nodded and said, "As Qin Qin's legatee, I promise you!"
Following this, the big-bearded Grey Dwarf and the other Grey Dwarves knelt down and expressed their willingness to surrender.
Even though the Grey Dwarves had bad tempers at times, most of them were quite honest, loyal, and straightforward. As such, seeing that they were no match for Zhao Fu, they immediately chose to surrender.
Seeing that they had surrendered, Zhao Fu felt quite happy, and he led his people in to take over the Grey Dwarf Village. Zhao Fu was only going to conquer it and did not plan to relocate it. This Grey Dwarf Village's grade was only Normal grade, and it was called Rhode Village. The leader from before was Chief Rhode.
