Realizing that there is a certain gap in understanding between the two, Danela explained:
"The concept of lords in the demon world is different from that of the exile. There are usually dozens of intermediate demon tribes in the territory. The territory of a tribe is similar to our municipal jurisdiction, and there are more habitats of low-level demons. From the scope of the territory, it is closer to the concept of a king, but there is a higher-level king of kings above."
"Then the lord participates in the war to benefit everyone?"
Danela was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No, definitely not."
"So why do they look down on the resources of the penal colony?"
"This...it is said that every time the Three Realms War breaks out in the penal colony, the related magic resources will be evacuated. Therefore, in the eyes of the demons, the magic resource reserves in the penal colony cannot be compared with that of the main world, and the same goes for gold."
"Magic resources and gold? Hmm."
This does explain it.
In fact, if we do not count the development of artificial gems brought by the Phoenix Kingdom, the original magic resources in the exile are indeed very scarce. Many fifth- and sixth-ring mages also mainly use disposable consumable magic props. Most of these props are only Can withstand spell presets below level 4.
In terms of gold, Phoenix Bank conducted an overall gold survey after Ongi and Fatel successively switched to banknotes.
This survey is very incomplete. After all, it is impossible to count the private treasury of many large households. It mainly counts the circulation of gold coins in the overseas non-Phoenix coin trading system.
The process is very troublesome, and I will only talk about the conclusion. It is estimated that the total gold content of existing gold coins in circulation is about 60 tons, which is converted into a total of 20 million fatir gold coins.
These are just circulating coins, as well as gold collections, ancestral dead money in private treasury, treasury gold, etc. The total gold should be more than 500 tons.
Then there is the total inventory of Phoenix Bank, of which about 40 tons come from the mining and smelting proceeds before the underground city was closed, about 55 tons are the smelting proceeds of foreign currency that cannot be exchanged, and about 12 tons of gold coins containing gold, which are also ready to be melted. .
The error is certainly large, and the total gold stock in the penal colony is estimated to be between 600 and 1,000 tons, or perhaps even more.
However, these golds are all in the penal colony. If the plunder is completed through war, it is naturally impossible to obtain that much. In fact, unless the demons conduct comprehensive location exploration and excavation, most of the gold will eventually be buried in the penal colony. .
Considering that the proceeds from the war will be peeled off layer by layer, even if the exile is washed away, only dozens of tons will end up in the hands of the demon lord.
But it’s enough, gold, in units of ten tons.
In the world of Wang Qi's previous life, the source of gold was considered to be the explosion of neutron stars for a long time.
Before he traveled to the wasteland, he came to a new observation conclusion. This thing was actually produced by the gravitational waves generated by star explosions, which mutated local materials.
In short, it is inseparable from stellar explosions.
Local alchemists cannot simply create gold, its scarcity is still universal and it has real value.
10 tons of gold, according to the current price system of the Phoenix Kingdom, can buy 60,000 tons of crude steel... It doesn't seem like much, but a few dozen tons of gold can indeed be regarded as the wealth of a country that is extremely wealthy.
From this point of view, the resources of the exile seem to be not very good. No wonder the demons go straight to the world gate every time.
"Is the main world rich in resources?"
Danela responded: "Your Majesty, I have never been there, but the elders in the clan said that the last time the main world was almost completely conquered by the demons was thousands of years ago, and the main world is said to be larger than the place of exile. very many."
"I see."
The main world does not seem to have been completely looted, so the stocks of magic props and gold are larger... Although this causal relationship is doubtful, judging from the direction of the demons' actions, it should be true.
Wang Qi glanced at Li Xiang.
She stared at Danela's sitting posture, seemingly defensive, but Wang Qi knew that this was a scrutinizing gaze.
The devil has a form that is very inconvenient indoors.
When the wings behind Danela are folded, taking the humanoid standing posture as an example, the humanoid is 1.3 meters tall. The highest point of the wings, which is the carpal bone of the bird, is 2.3 meters high. The tip of the wing, or the end of the finger bone, is below the knee joint.
In addition, the devil has a tail, but this is not a problem. The sharp blade has a thicker tail, so some chairs in the conference room are specially configured for figures with tails. The bottom of the backrest is not a "mouth"-shaped hole, but a "mouth"-shaped hole. The K”-shaped support structure makes it easy to swing the tail in from the right side when sitting down...Those who are used to the left side need to adapt.
When Daniela sat down, his wings unconsciously spread slightly to avoid the back of the chair, covering an area of about four square meters, barely allowing the tips of his wings to touch the ground.
Maybe the palace should have some height-adjustable stools?
He quickly recovered and continued to ask the devil:
"I heard that demons can do some soul-level transactions, is it true?"
Danela was a little surprised that the king actually knew such a thing, and replied cautiously: "The ancestors said this, but the target of the transaction is not the soul. The soul is of no value to the devil. What is valuable is the spiritual body and the magic channel that are full of magic power. .”
I heard another new word: "Magic channel?"
"Some of the fifth- or sixth-ring mages can build magic channels, which are a means of magic expansion and have a faster magic replenishment rate than normal magic cores. People who use divine magic must have this kind of channel ability. To gain divine power, the other end of this passage is often a temple."
"Is it possible for the magic channel to obtain divine power directly from the gods?"
"This... I don't know, maybe the pope and the saint can do it."
Wang Qi was just curious and asked casually. He didn't really care about the answer. Anyway, Solaris didn't have "divine power" to give it to him for free.
"How is the transaction started and completed? Can the transaction items needed by the devil be obtained from a long distance?"
"It is said that it relies on the power of the Lord of Hell. The Lord of Hell is equivalent to managing the existence of several demon kings. He himself is on the same level as the gods."
This is easy to understand. It is because the Lord of Hell gave us a platform.
Wang Qi also has a similar platform. In fact, as long as he is willing, he can activate Solaris's host mutation induction function at any time, which is the Demon Linri, to carry out large-scale mutations, similar to what Li Xiang saw in his hometown. That way.
It's just that the direction of the mutation is very strange. It is developing towards the integration of animals and plants. Wang Qi feels that losing San is a bit unacceptable. Moreover, from a strategic perspective, it is an indiscriminate attack on the enemy and ourselves, and he cannot gain any benefits from it.
Wang Qi was silent for a while and then asked a question related to Danela: "What do you think you and the soldiers of the 301st Battalion are missing if they want to be promoted to advanced magic professions?"
"...In fact, there is nothing missing. Given the current conditions, just give us time."
Wang Qi naturally didn't want to trick the 301st Battalion. Unlike the ghost researchers, there were only a few, and the characteristics of the ghosts meant that their interference in the physical world had to be compromised even if they relied on magic.
After all, the 301st Battalion is a demonic camp where all members can use magic. If this is done, if someone rebels, it will be really difficult to follow up. It will take time for Li Xiang and General Audrey to rush to the scene after receiving the news. The rebels will not wait to die.
The main discussion here is the issue of further education resources.
Since some of the first batch of graduates from the Magic Academy enlisted in the army, and the Blades and Night Clan Legions had their own mages, the army has launched a formal restructuring of the treatment of magic personnel.
However, not many changes have been made. Originally, mages recruited from the private sector could fill out a form to apply for artificial gemstones, but now it has become a quota plus application.
For example, the commander of the 301st Battalion in front of me is rated as a 4th ring according to the grading method of the penal colony. He can get half a kilogram of artificial gemstones every month. In addition, if he needs to do experiments and so on, he will report the project, location, time, and application on the form. If the amount is measured, this part will not be given for free. After that, a transcript of the test record must be handed in, and it must be checked against the original before the account can be written off.
Artificial gem technology has now opened up the previous generation process in China, but it is still not easy for individuals to buy directly. From the perspective of the factory, it is natural to give priority to the production of large customer orders. Moreover, the government requires production companies to hand over detailed information of sales targets. In this regard, individual orders will increase the burden on the factory, let alone receive them. They can only queue up and wait for the off-season... The question is, where do the good things that have just been opened for export come from? Off season.
There is only one new part in the treatment reform, which is to reproduce a set of magic knowledge collected by the palace in the army. It only does not include the new branch opened by the Caroline-Lava formula, which almost includes 9 of the kingdom's collected so far. into magical knowledge.
The opening of this part of the knowledge base will be treated equally by the entire legion, and the demons are no exception.
"It's enough. I hope that next time you face the demon army directly, you won't immediately become enemies." Wang Qi warned before seeing off the guests.
"Don't dare!"
