For the next period of time, Cook was almost numb, and the thieves' union, the mercenary union, the warriors' union, and even some high-ranking members of the wizards' union came to visit.

"I can't live this day. Cook finally couldn't help but slip away, yes, Cook returned to the Barony's Lands.

The barony is as prosperous as ever, and the current prosperity of the barony is already the second on the mainland, first of all, the dwarf's liquor workshop, which has expanded to the scale of thousands of acres of land, and the endless grain is constantly being sent over, and the wine needs a lot of food, although it is now winter, and the food is relatively tight, but after all, the dwarves have countless relationships on the mainland, and there are many people who want to tie up the dwarves, so the food is not a big problem.

However, the price of grain has risen again, fortunately, this year's grain is still a bumper harvest, otherwise there is one more dwarf liquor workshop, and there are billions of orcs in the orc empire, and the food will rise to sky-high prices, but the current grain is also several times that of the past, and the rise in grain represents the rise of a qiē thing, livestock, and a qiē product.

In the past, corn was a copper coin a catty, but now the purchase price is four copper coins a catty, and when it is transported to the barony's domain, it costs at least ten copper coins a catty, but the dwarves are not afraid of rising ah, your food is rising, our weapons, and wine products are rising with it.

But the happiest are those big lords, the previous merchants sold the grain when the grain rose to a certain point, but these people knew that the price of food was so crazy, it was four times that of before, and when the merchants reacted, those noble lords also reacted, and wanted to buy food, yes, market price, and for those lords, it is better to sell to merchants than to sell to dwarves, at least dwarves still have some friendships, so today's market makes many grain merchants depressed to vomit blood, and now they are increasing their efforts to raise funds in winter, and wait for the next year。

However, this is doomed to failure, because the Mekay Empire is stable, then food consumption will naturally decline, not to mention that Cook has to work hard to grasp production, so it is destined that there are not a few merchants who will jump off the building next year.

Cook walked around, and found that his territory was actually a lot smaller, not that the territory was small, but there were too many buildings, and the entire territory was densely packed with buildings, but the largest area was still the Wurm trading market, where Wurm could choose the goods he wanted as he wanted, all kinds of livestock, and all kinds of cooked food, of course, this is all Cook monopoly, but the most exchanged is gold coins, of course, not all Wurm likes gold coins, some like barbecue, for these Wurm, Cook's territory is a heavenly storage zài。

Just catch a monster and come over, and then you can open your belly and eat for a while, and then find a place to sleep beautifully, and then get up and catch it again, some people say that this is not a monster to be caught.

In fact, not really, just like a wurm generally eats once every three months to half a year, then eating once is at least several Warcraft, but now just one is enough, because a slightly more advanced Warcraft has to be exchanged for how many ordinary livestock, although the price of livestock is twice as much as before, three times, but compared with Warcraft, there is still a world of difference, and the price of livestock has risen, so the more high-end items, just like the price of Warcraft, the more.

Of course, it's not too outrageous, because the total amount of Warcraft has risen, because the Wurms found that the price of living Warcraft is many times that of death, and the smaller the more valuable, which subverts the perception of the Wurm, in the minds of the Wulong, the smaller the Warcraft, the less there is, and the gap between the teeth is not enough, but since the smaller the Warcraft, the more valuable it is, this is even better news for the Wulong, and the cost of starting with the small Warcraft is lower.

Moreover, the value of a living mid-level Warcraft is higher than that of a dead High-level Warcraft, although the wurms don't know what the reason for this is, but don't the wulongs know that the danger rate of dealing with high-level Warcraft has increased.

There are more wurm found that the cubs that they hatched out of can't live are even more expensive, so some wurm simply take what they hatch out of and can't raise in exchange for things, wurm is generally a litter of two to three eggs, but only one can be raised, so the current wurm trading ground is already very large, occupying more than 30 kilometers in a circle.

Cook nodded, and then saw countless caves on the mountains in the distance, needless to say, those were the lair of the wurm, although it was winter, but the trade here was still very hot.

Several major trade unions have sent a large number of people here, after all, rare monsters occasionally appear here, although it is impossible to trade privately, but it is still possible to directly suppress others in terms of price in advance.

Cook followed the huge flat road surface, which was actually built by the earth dragon, originally Cook thought that these guys were unwilling, but he didn't expect it to cause infighting among several earth wurm groups, because the road surface that is difficult to build for ordinary people is just a run around for the earth wurm, and then the magic is done, a wurm builds at least several kilometers of road in a day, and a kilometer of road Cook offered a price of 1,000 gold coins, you must know that most of the roads here are stones, even if they are built by ordinary people, the time and energy consumed are far more than a thousand gold coins, but now Cook only needs to let people plan first, and finally take the money to accept.

Cook walked on a ten-meter-wide road, but due to the onset of winter, there was a lot of snow on the road, and although someone cleared it, it couldn't keep up with the speed of snow.

Instead of going to the Lord's Palace, Cook came to a valley where there was nothing in it, but beneath the hills on either side of the valley, several huge caverns were emitting steaming smoke, and thick tracks connected the caves.

"Oh, Lord Baron!" a dwarven lizard knight exclaimed at the sight of Cook, and hurried over to salute.

"Hehe, Captain Oman, are you on patrol?" Cook's memory is not ordinarily good, and he smiled in return.

"Of course!" Aman has a lot of respect for Cook, because his tribe is now the number one in the dwarven kingdom, the liquor workshop, and this workshop for smelting white iron, although the white iron here is not as good as forging, but the gap is not very obvious, watching a huge ingot of white iron being directly refined, all the dwarves were stunned, this has subverted the dwarves' cognition, in the world of the dwarves, the best metals are constantly created.

And smelting is just smelting some black iron, black iron is pig iron, fine iron is wrought iron, white iron is similar to steel, a hundred pounds of black iron can create thirty pounds of fine iron, but this needs to be hammered at least a hundred times, is to soften the black iron calcination and beat it again, to repeat it a hundred times, it takes time and energy not to mention.

And white iron is also known as a thousand wrought iron, that is, after repeatedly beating the black iron a thousand times, the final white iron obtained by a hundred catties of black iron is only one or two catties, which requires a skilled dwarven blacksmith to build for half a year or even longer.

Because it has to be constantly calcined and beaten, it consumes too much in the process of beating, but now it is only necessary to grind the iron ore into powder, and then separate it with a huge magnet, and then smelt it into white iron, how did this not subvert the dwarven cognition, so this valley was sent by the dwarven kingdom to send a full thousand lizard knights here, and Baron Cook sent three thousand heavily armed guards, and a frost titan sat down.

"Well done, this is for you. Cook reached for a flask, and Cook knew that dwarves liked to drink.

"Thank you, Lord Baron, I'm not afraid of Lord Baron's jokes, just this patrol duty position, everyone is rushing to do it. Aman smiled and took the flask from Cook and said.

"Uh," Cook wondered.

"It's not that there is a subsidy for patrolling, not only gold coins, but also some supplies, and the most important thing is that there are two taels of liquor at a time for patrolling. Oman unraveled the answer.

"Good job. Cook patted Aman on the shoulder, you must know that patting the dwarf on the shoulder will make the dwarf angry, because the dwarf is short, so it is very taboo, but if Cook pats, Aman still looks flattered.

After Cook left, Aman looked at the flask in his arms and happily put it in his arms, but then whispered, "Damn the rules, you are not allowed to drink alcohol while on patrol!"

Not only are you not allowed to drink when you are on patrol, but you are also not allowed to drink when you are working, the dwarves used to be, even if they were busy with green, when they wanted to drink, they threw away the things in their hands and drank directly, and then they woke up and worked slowly, so the work efficiency was low, and now the workshop here for refining white iron is an assembly line, so there is no time to drink or anything.

In fact, the dwarf kingdom is also composed of dozens of dwarf tribes, but although the various tribes of the dwarves have grievances, there is no big hatred, and it is a race, so it is necessary to unite some, and the dwarf kingdom also has a lot of force, and the rock lizard knights are a column, which is different from the orc empire, the orc empire does not have its own direct armed forces at all, even if there are relative to the various tribes, it is pitiful.

These caves are all opened, from the grinding of ores, to screening, smelting, this is an assembly line process, but the fuel used here is coke, Cook approached the cave, watching the huge machinery continue to move, here is water-driven, water is also the dwarf found in the mountain range of underground water veins, which is also one of the biggest reasons for choosing this valley.

"Bang dang!" The huge machinery made a screeching sound, one by one, the dwarfs patrolled back and forth, and a cart of ore was sent into the grinder, and then the iron powder and stone powder were separated at the magnet separation, and then the iron ore powder was cleaned, and then directly sent to the smelting furnace, and began to smelt, there are a lot of refractories in this world, and it is enough to add some ordinary metals of magic metals, and the additives that need to be added to smelting are only in the hands of a few dwarf high-level people, in fact, the difference between steel and iron that Cook knows is the level of carbon content in it。

"How's it going?" said Cook, the head of the workshop in charge of refining the white iron, a bearded dwarf, an elder of the Brute Hammer tribe.

"The toughness is still not enough, and there are holes in it. The elder of the Brute Hammer tribe ignored Cook at all, but when he saw that it was Cook, he explained it anyway.

"Is the forging machine ready?" Cook didn't care about the attitude of the dwarven elders, these old guys can't be seen by ordinary people.

"No, some of the metal in key locations simply can't withstand that much force. The dwarven elder shook his head.

"I'll take a look!" Cook said loudly, Cook actually came this time because he heard that the large forging machine, the refining of white iron is not forged, toughness, strength or anything is not enough, so Cook asked the dwarf to design a set of hundreds of tons of forging machine, but the key parts can not withstand so much pressure, so now the smelted white iron is only smelted into an ingot, which greatly consumes time and fuel, after all, it has to be smelted again when forging.

Cook came to another cave, this cave is ten meters high, this is where the large forge machine is, Cook saw a group of gnomes busy, and soon Cook was discovered, because Cook is a human, not to mention tall among dwarves, even taller among gnomes.

"Oh, Lord Baron, we'll wait for you to come, hurry, hurry. "It's not that the dwarfs haven't thought about the large-scale application of precision instruments before, but it's still the same sentence, the metal needed for precision instruments is not ordinary metal, it needs toughness, hardness, and wear resistance are all very good metals, and the dwarfs don't have the strength to buy a lot of magic metal, so a lot of mechanical drawings and plans can only be stored in the history of zài and the gnomes, so when Cook proposed the forging machine, the dwarfs quickly took out the drawings and provided a large number of people, because these are all dwarfs.

When the dwarf saw the ingot of white iron, he almost went crazy, but it turned out that this white iron was not as good as the dwarf made, and the parts of the key stressed parts of the test run were either deformed or cracked, so he turned to Cook for help.

Cook didn't say a word and asked directly, "Elder Mocha, what kind of parts do you need to refine, do you have molds?"

"Yes, yes, it's been ready for a long time. "Mocha is the most experienced mechanic among the gnomes.

Cook looked at the polished and smooth mold parts one by one, these are all handmade by the gnomes, and seeing hundreds of parts being taken out, Cook was a little heartbroken, because Cook was going to use magic metal alloys this time, because Cook knew that only qualified metals would be able to make more machinery in the future, so this first time he must refine himself.

Mocha cautiously asked, "Lord Baron, do you need a real room?"

"No need, I'll refine it here, we must forge it today. Cook took out the magic furnace, and magic metal, and the main ingredient was white iron.

Although Cook is not an alchemist, but smelting metal, and then according to the model to make parts can still be done, Cook did not have a one-time mass manufacturing, but the use of a part of the casting, because of the magic metal, as well as the spiritual power to remove impurities, so the parts of this key part of the wear resistance, hardness, or toughness are more than dozens of times the theory, of course, the cost is hundreds of times more than that.

Because Cook had a magic eye, he asked while refining, "Elder Mocha, is the lathe you I said is ready?"

"It's good to make zuò, but we can't make the blade you said, mainly because there are no good materials. After Mocha heard Cook's question, he immediately replied, to know what the biggest dream of the dwarf is, that is, to make the drawings in his hand into a real thing, in the past, the dwarfs had a hard time, and had to go everywhere to beg for a living, but now the baron not only packs materials, but also covers a qiē's daily life, but also offers a high salary, how can the gnomes not like it, and the lathe is an idea of Cook, this idea stunned the gnomes, it turns out that manufacturing parts can still do this.

"Then I'll forge some knives later, but these things are valuable, and you should keep them. Cook touched his head, if he wants to trade with the Sea Clan, then he must first be able to suppress the Sea Clan, so the defense is strong, and there must be a ship with a large tonnage, although this is difficult, but Cook now has a huge wealth and a wide range of contacts, so Cook can do this, just take the parts of the forging machine this time, the magic metal used will not be less than hundreds of millions of gold coins, because the price of magic metal only rises, not falls, because the reserves of magic metal have been declining, and the war between the Empire of Light and the Orc Empire has made the price of magic metal soar more than ten times。

The gnomes all gathered together, watching Cook actually pick up a huge magic furnace with one hand, this magic furnace can also have a smelted metal solution, these parts only need to add a magic metal, that is, pure gold, and the melting point of pure gold is several times that of white iron, so this smelting magic metal is definitely not as simple as said, but fortunately, Cook is also a half-baked magic array master, smelting metal still has a certain experience, Cook keeps sprinkling handfuls of adamantite powder into the metal solution, and then is a catalyst, without this thing, pure gold is not fused with white iron at all, and the most critical thing for alchemists is the ratio of magic metal, the other is the catalyst, and the rest can be done by constantly accumulating experience, and of course there is a certain talent.

The gnomes still have some experience in smelting metal, Cook watched the gnomes continue to quench the manufactured parts, don't underestimate this quenching, two more seconds of time will affect the strength, toughness, and stress of the magic metal, although Cook does not understand these, but the gnomes have a set of strict standards.

Because Cook has an eye, the magic metal smelted is almost perfect, and the perfection of magic metal refers to the ratio of magic metal and the amount of catalyst, because there is no unified purity standard for materials in this world, so smelting metal only depends on experience.

Mocha looked at Cook on the side, nervous, but when he saw that Cook almost didn't spend a time, his heart slowly relaxed, and then concentrated on taking care of the quenching, don't underestimate this quenching, some wear-resistant parts because the quenching process is not up to par, the original life of five million revolutions is reduced by two million revolutions, what is the concept, the larger the parts, the time consumed to replace them, and the number of products affected, it is a big number.

After the parts were cast, there was no need to polish them at all, because when casting, Cook had already smoothed out the burrs and the like with his mental power, and the parts were installed in the right place by the gnomes with some tools.

Cook put all his heart and soul into casting, and the rest didn't care at all, and he couldn't control it, and finally after Cook took two sobering potions and consumed a lot of materials, hundreds of parts were finally cast.

Cook cast another batch of extremely hard knives, and then watched as Mocha directed the gnomes through the final installation and inspection.

"Your Excellency, you can begin. Mocha examined it himself, then reported back to Cook.

"Let's get started!" said Cook with a nod.
