Zhang Qi squatted on the ground and used a sharp charcoal pen to write and draw on the cloth.
Although most of his attention was on the cloth map, his ears were always listening to the movements of the lord's army.
The sound of footsteps and horse hooves told him whether the lord was stopping or moving.
The last strokes were written on the cloth, the village [Vatea], the specialty, [Iron Ore], the direction, due north of Notai.
Standing up, folding the cloth and putting it into his arms, Zhang Qi happened to see a few more recruits in the lord's army.
"Envy, I can do whatever I want, I can't compare."
Sighed.
Compared with the recruitment difficulty of Zhang Qi's overlord level, these NPC lords have no obstacles to recruiting in the village. The recruitment slots in the village are completely open to them. How many they want to recruit depends entirely on their dull minds. impact on one’s own country’s war situation.
If there is no war, recruit less; if there is war, recruit more.
"Let's go, recruits follow."
Seeing the lord's troops starting to set off, Zhang Qi also got on his horse and shouted to the stunned [Imperial Recruit] beside him.
The purchased ore was put in a cloth bag and hung on the left side of the horse's back. Zhang Qi pulled the reins and lightly kicked the horse's belly, and the traveling horse obediently began to run forward.
Carrying a pitchfork on his back, the [Imperial Recruit]'s face showed no expression at all, and he ran mechanically, with no trace of fatigue visible.
Following the lord's troops walking east and west, Zhang Qi's judgment of the direction in his mind was completely lost, but it didn't matter. As long as he arrived at a town, the sense of direction in Zhang Qi's mind would immediately be restored and reoriented.
Thousands of hours of game play are no joke. Zhang Qi clearly remembers the distribution of forces in the world of riding and slashing.
The sun has begun to set, but the lord's troops are still traveling between the villages.
Also thanks to this lord, Zhang Qi's cloth map has more and more villages distributed.
Which village produced what, he recorded them one by one.
Zhang Qi clearly remembers the distribution of forces in the world of riding and cutting, but he doesn't have much impression of the villages.
Except for a few villages that produced war horses, which he was more impressed by, the others had already been filtered out in his brain.
[Vatea Iron Ore. 】
[Silver Ore of Gersagos. 】
[Maratea Iron Ore. 】
【......】
【......】
As time passed, a clear property grid map emerged in Zhang Qi's mind.
Timber can now be bought for free, and whether Xiao Nong goes or not is no longer that important.
As 'Epicrothea' appeared in Zhang Qi's sight, he immediately broke away from the lord's troops and entered the city.
Epiclothea is a town located at the junction of the Northern Empire, Battania, and Sturgia.
It is surrounded by water on two sides and mountains on the other side, and there are two villages around it that are in urgent need of Zhang Qi and specialize in iron ore.
So the moment he walked into this town, Zhang Qi decided to use this as his important base.
He led the imperial recruits to the blacksmith's shop on a traveling horse and tied the traveling horse's reins to the pillar at the door of the blacksmith's shop.
Although traveling horses don't run around, Zhang Qi still has to develop a habit, because he has two worlds!
"Follow up."
After tying up the traveling horse, Zhang Qi softly shouted to the stunned imperial recruit beside him.
The two walked quickly to the tavern.
Walking into the tavern, Zhang Qi's eyes were instantly attracted to a man leaning against the wall drinking.
There was ecstasy on his face, and Zhang Qi understood that he had met the 'wanderer' in the game!
"This is my blessed place!"
Zhang Qi was so ecstatic that he even forgot about blacksmithing and walked a few steps quickly to reach the homeless man.
In the horse-and-blade game, wanderers are also recruitable, but unlike NPC soldiers, wanderers can be trained in specific directions by players.
Such as warriors.
Such as doctors.
Such as businessmen.
For example...the blacksmith in front of me!
You must know that Zhang Qi's attribute skill bar has been switched, and he cannot make blacksmithing convenient by clicking on skills like in the game.
Moreover, in addition to convenience, without the skill support of a blacksmith, Zhang Qidu would not be able to refine materials above 'iron', 'steel', 'high-quality steel' and the final 'refined steel' through the blacksmith panel!
Without the support of these materials, even if Zhang Qi unlocks more advanced blueprints, he will not be able to build them and sell them.
The profit of weapons from those advanced blueprints can far exceed that of the most common two-handed sword.
The price of an ordinary two-handed sword is only more than 600 dinars. As for an advanced blueprint weapon, although Zhang Qi has never made it before, through the omnipotent group of friends, he still knows about an advanced blueprint weapon. The price of weapons is often several thousand or even ten thousand!
dinar.
This is what Zhang Qi needs most right now. All his advantages are now linked to this invisible and intangible currency that only displays numbers.
Without dinars, he could not buy supplies to take out to the outside world.
He couldn't have done it without the dinar...
His ambition!
Yes.
He is also ambitious!
With a sharp knife in his hand and a desire to kill, in such a feudal society, he didn't want to be a lamb to be slaughtered.
dialogue.
communicate.
Listen to the story.
Zhang Qi listened word by word to the story called 'Blacksmith Suojial'.
Until the most important words were recited mechanically.
"On my wandering road, the townspeople here took care of me and kept me fed and clothed. I would like to give them some gifts before I follow you away. I would like to advance 1,000 dinars. Do you think you can accept it? ?”
"no problem!"
"Recruit! Let's get to work!"
Zhang Qi's eyes were slightly red, which was caused by excitement.
The wanderers could leave at any time, so Zhang Qi didn't waste any time and started relocating the tavern with the empire recruits for free.
Tables, stools, chairs, shelves, and pieces of furniture were moved to the blacksmith shop by Zhang Qi and the imperial recruits.
Clang clang clang.
A series of sounds of blacksmithing sounded in the blacksmith shop.
Eight blocks of iron ore were refined into sixteen blocks of wrought iron.
These sixteen pieces of wrought iron were then forged into four two-handed swords by Zhang Qi.
market.
Trafficking.
After more than 2,400 dinars were put into his account, Zhang Qi ran towards the tavern without looking back.
In the empty tavern, the blacksmith's figure is particularly conspicuous.
Zhang Qi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was still there.
Run up to him, talk to him again, and pay 1,000 dinars.
A piece of organ music sounded in Zhang Qi's ears.
[Blacksmith Sogyal is here to join your team! 】
"Recast the glory of the blacksmith! It is our duty to do so!"
Zhang Qi held Suo Jiaer's hands with tears in his eyes.
He said with great emotion.
