Chapter 271 Don’t take the initiative, don’t refuse (3 updates)
"The blue-faced Dou Erdun steals the royal horse~, the red-faced Guan Gong fights in Changsha~~"

"The white-faced Cao Cao, the yellow-faced Dian Wei, and the black-faced Zhang Fei are called Chacha~"

Matthew hummed softly, while fiddling with the staff in his hand, while slowly injecting mana, allowing the magic channel to gradually solidify.

The translucent light gradually calmed down, revealing the staff's original red color and fine spell lines, which were emitting dazzling spell aura.

"Ding, magic item production +1, currently 148!"

After exhaling slightly, Matthew looked at the brand new staff in his hand with satisfaction:
Advanced Spell Scepter, unnamed.

Casting distance +50 meters, spell damage +5, spell control +5.

Enchanting effect:

The fireball spell is enhanced, and the damage of the fireball spell is increased by 1 level!
Fireball storage: Store 5 fireballs. After use, they need to be replenished. The cooling time is 5 hours.

Market price: 2.5 gold coins!
Evaluation: Exclusively for the Five Fireball God Cult!

"Name it the Five Fireball Staff!"

Carefully stroking the surface lines of the staff, Matthew silently analyzed and comprehended it.

This is a high-level staff that he successfully refined after two failed attempts. The materials alone cost 3 gold coins.

Fortunately, it was a success!
"Sure enough, basic magic equipment can be mass-produced, but high-level magic equipment is quite rare..."

Matthew thought briefly and quickly found the key to the problem.

When refining primary and intermediate magic equipment, Matthew can control spells and knows them well, so the success rate is particularly high.

When encountering advanced spells that were more unstable and that Matthew was not very familiar with, even with the help of digital display, he could only barely operate them.

It can be seen from this that the role of digital display is great!

The same thing as making magic equipment is making enchanted equipment.

Matthew turned his head and saw the busy mountain peak next to him.

After more than two months of adapting, Shanfeng has completely learned to mass-produce enchanted equipment.

From the initial production of one piece to another, after obtaining the "Cycling Spell Releaser" purchased from Talling 343, we gradually began to explore mass production.

The growth of the mountain has never stopped. Although it is slow, it is very stable.

Nowadays, Shanfeng can also master most primary spells.

And because it is extremely stable when releasing spells, it is very suitable for making enchanted equipment.

At the beginning, the mountain had to waste a lot of materials every day, at least several thousand gold coins for the base.

Later, it took about a month to barely maintain balance.

For the loss of 10,000+ gold coins, Shanfeng was a little hard to resist at first.

He was even a little worried...

However, the mountain gained Matthew's greatest trust and allowed him to hone and improve little by little.

"Isn't it just that krypton gold makes you stronger? What's not to understand about this?"

Shanfeng didn't understand what krypton gold meant, but after seeing the lord's unreserved support for him, he learned to be more focused and serious.

Now, the mountain has increased the success rate to 40%.

Considering that the return ratio of enchanted equipment is close to 3 to 5 times, there is already a considerable profit.

This is why Matthew gradually relaxed the restrictions on obtaining enchanted equipment.

Come on, other tool guys!

I'm afraid you won't be able to catch this pie!
A crisp knock on the door was transmitted to the laboratory through the magic device. Matthew gave a thumbs up to the mountain and then walked out quickly.As soon as he received the communication scroll handed over by Butler Ralph, Matthew subconsciously raised his eyebrows.

"The appearance of barbarian wanderers means that a large barbarian army is not far away."

"Is it the group in the northeastern part of the Dark Forest?"

"No, although there are many of them, they can't break through the troll blockade..."

"It wasn't until next August, when the trolls followed the orcs to launch an attack on the Netheril Empire, that the barbarians found a gap and infiltrated 8 to 30 people."

"It seems that this part should be the target of the empire's recruitment."

"After the levy troops organized by Blood Moon City defeated them, some of the barbarians fled in scattered directions."

"Those elite monsters that players remember should be them..."

Butler Ralph is very familiar with the Lord's thoughts.

What decisions and plans will the Lord make?
This recruitment mission should not be dangerous. The barbarians who can be defeated by the recruitment troops should not be much stronger.

Apart from gaining some experience, there shouldn't be much gain.

However, I can't refuse...

"Wait, barbarians..."

Matthew suddenly remembered that the most valuable thing in this battle was not the experience points provided by these barbarians, but them themselves!

No matter what Matthew thought, the barbarians in the territory gradually numbered 3000 people.

Although only more than 400 barbarians became soldiers, their performance was outstanding.

More than 400 heavy infantrymen and more than 10 berserkers who attacked the enemy.

With strong physical talents and excellent combat abilities, these barbarian soldiers can become natural warriors.

Of course, Matthew believes that except for the Gulf Territory, no force can make such good use of the talents of the barbarian soldiers, including themselves!
"Okay, you go and issue another mission."

"Because of the urgent need for people and slaves, the conditions for transporting refugees will be increased to 10 silver coins per person in the next two months."

Butler Ralph's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this, remembering the previous exchange between the lord and him.

No forced purchase is allowed, the price is too high and can easily lead to greed.

The price cannot be too low, lest they do not value the lives of the refugees.

Although the reputation is somewhat unfriendly, it has nothing to do with us!

"The Lord Lord suddenly issued this order, after all, it has something to do with these barbarians..."

Butler Ralph didn't think much about it. Now that the lord has decided, it means that he already has a follow-up plan.

He still can't fully grasp it yet, but he actually has to study hard...

A rough plan emerged in Matthew's mind. Recalling the reputation of the Gulf Territory in Blood Moon City during this period, he continued to add:
"In addition, if other nobles come to us for cooperation, they can choose to agree."

Butler Ralph went back to work, and Matthew also began to think about how to deal with the relationship with other nobles in Bloodmoon City.

The Gulf leaders are in full swing and should be able to suppress their greed.

The cooperation of the Misty Swamp Ruins gave them a big piece of cake.

The action of gathering the refugees can show off the skills and background of the bay collar, and give them a sense of "control".

Despite the unpleasant start, Matthew believed that none of them could escape.

In the next imperial recruitment operation, the Gulf Territory has a very capable army, which will definitely arouse the thoughts of many nobles.

There will also be some nobles trying to form an alliance, and Naxiu has only one idea:
Don't take the initiative, don't refuse!
