Chapter 54: White Mountain

(PS: The first recommendation today is here. Please collect it in the third update, please vote, and reward.)

In addition to the soldiers patrolling at night, several nocturnal beasts were killed and used as extra meals and barbecue, countless overnight.

After sleeping until dawn, Link took out the water and distributed it to everyone. After drinking water and eating meat, he continued to rush.

The next day, the situation was still rushing to the road. Several monsters and wild beasts that appeared were stabbed to death by the knights.

It’s not boring to have a chatterbox like the iron felt master on the way.

When camping the next night, the grass cut during camping on the first day was already half dry on the horse's back and was used by the knights to feed the horses. The grass in camping on the next day was cut off and collected.

On the morning of the third day, a single troll rushed to the mine hunting team and was found a hundred meters away. The troll was too tall. Constance took out a bow and arrow and shot three arrows in a row, all of which shot the troll. However, the troll raised his hand to block the vital point, and all of these three arrows hit the troll's arm.

The troll rushed to fifty meters, and the iron felt master raised the dwarf's iron cannon and a "bang" sounded, and the lead bullet hit the troll's belly, opening a hole the size of a fist in the troll's belly. However, the pair of trolls with six meters tall were still not fatal.

Link flew up from his mount. The troll saw Link turning around and want to run, but he was shot by Constance behind him. Link flew over at high speed and cut off the troll's head. The troll's huge body fell into the grass that was tall by one person.

Because of common sense, the troll's corpses can only pollute the land, and no one cares about the troll's corpses. After the troll fell, everyone continued to prepare to rush forward. Link landed on the ground and sacrificed the troll's corpses, and exchanged for an epic bow and arrow.

Link flew back and distributed the bow and arrow to Constance. If legendary weapons and equipment can be made through creation and enchantment, epic weapons and equipment can be bought on the market. The Holy Empire, that is, the great nobles or the royal family, has such a little background, epic weapons and equipment.

If you customize or buy legendary weapons, the market price is around a few thousand gold coins to ten thousand gold coins. When it comes to epic equipment, it is completely priceless. Even if you offer a high price of 100,000 and 200,000 gold coins, no one can sell it.

But in fact, epic weapons are not ten times stronger than legendary weapons, but the further advancement and improvement of their own combat effectiveness becomes more difficult. If you can find a weapon that is one or two times stronger than legendary weapons, these masters are willing to buy it at a price of ten times twenty times.

Link fell back and said to Master Iron Felt, "Master, when I was in the air, I saw a white mountain."

Master Iron Felt: "The white mountain makes no sense. If it is a snow mountain, then I will definitely be able to see it."

Link: "Go and have a look?"

Master Iron Felt: "Of course, go and see, stand on the mountain, stand far and wide."

The group turned and headed towards the white mountain.

Before Link asked, the Iron Felt Master said: "White mountain, if it is not high, it may be a limestone mountain or a marble mountain. Marble or limestone is not a mineral, but it is still a little far from the country where humans gather. The transportation cost is not cost-effective."

Limestone is not useless. The wall painting is made of limestone water, and the military camps in Hongtu City are even covered with thick layers of limestone. There are many people in the military camps, which is to avoid plague caused by snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Marble is also a stone for architectural carving.

More than a hundred people galloped their horses, which was enough to scare away a large number of low-level monsters and wild beasts.

Baishan is not high, the highest place is only more than one hundred meters away from the ground. It is just a narrow mountain range, with a river valley rushing out by a stream below the mountain. Before dark, the team arrived at the foot of the mountain and the knights began to camp along the river.

Master Iron Felt took Link up the mountain and arrived at the desolate white mountain. Master Iron Felt dug down with a pickaxe. The white soil below was not very hard. Master Iron Felt picked up a piece and looked carefully for a while, then pinched it into powder. Finally, he tasted it himself and vomited it out. Finally, Master Iron Felt asked Link to ignite it, ignited a little white powder, and the white powder ignited it and purple smoke rose.

After some identification, the master of iron felt said: "This is saltpeter mountain."

Link: "Saltpeter?"

Master Iron Felt said: "The main component of the launching medicine I use in my musket is saltpeter. Then it is sulfur and charcoal powder, which is obtained by blending egg whites. This saltpeter is the most commonly used in the launching medicine.

Charcoal powder is the easiest to get, and it is not difficult to burn charcoal. There are sulfur ores near volcanoes. The materials used in saltpeter are the largest, but the amount can be found. The price is more expensive."

Link: "How expensive is it."

Master Iron Felt: "A pound of saltpeter requires four silver coins. A pound of equipped launching medicine only has five silver coins. Do you think it is expensive?"

Link: "This whole mountain is saltpeter?"

Master Iron Felt: "Yes. From the river valley, there are also underground, but how many inclined wells need to be drilled to explore."

Link didn't say anything nonsense, took out the flag of the Marquis of Raphael and the flag of the Holy Empire and inserted it on the White Mountain, and then shouted: "I declare as the 14th Marquis of Raphael of the Holy Empire that this place belongs to the inherent territory of the Marquis of Raphael of the Holy Empire."

The iron felt master took out the ale and took a big sip, and said with emotion: "Humanity..."

In addition to dwarves, many nobles in this world have also taken a fancy to the power of dwarves muskets. As for the problem of slow filling, just prepare a few more.

There are also some nobles in the Holy Empire who like to hunt with dwarf muskets. When they arrive at other kings, dwarf muskets are more equipped with troops. You can even see soldiers carrying three dwarf muskets and fighting with one dwarf musket.

After the dwarf musket is shot, you can temporarily throw it on the ground, and then take out the loaded dwarf musket behind you to continue shooting. After all the dwarf muskets are shot, you can draw out the sword and gun to engage in close combat.

The Holy Empire restricts the development of dwarf muskets, which is a problem of saltpeter. There has never been a natural saltpeter mine found in the Holy Empire. If a large amount of saltpeter mine is imported, it is one of the strategic materials. Not only will the market price rise, it may also be choked by neighbors. This is not what the Holy Empire wants.

Although the value of Baishan is not low, Master Iron Felt came out this time to look for the gold, silver, iron ore and coal mine. Now, Master Iron Felt climbed up to the top of Baishan and looked around. There were still some mountains in the distance, but it was a little late now and I couldn't see clearly.

Anyway, there is still time tomorrow, so that's all for today.

After the two went down the mountain, the camp had already been built in some form. Link took out all kinds of supplies, and the knights were the lives of the hardworking laborers and continued to work.

In the evening, Link was overjoyed, Constance got into Link's tent, and then got into Link's blanket.

Marquis of Link Raphael was righteous: "What are you doing?"
