Procurement 71
How to deal with a large group of vultures?
These magical beasts have strong physical strength, can easily carry two to three adults flying in the sky, plus their large body and sharp beak and claws, their close combat power is imaginable.
Some tamers also train the gryphon to carry giant stone hammers in mid-air for throwing attacks, which have much greater killing power than the bows and lances wielded by the lion griffin riders.
This kind of long-range, all-weather, amphibious special flying unit is considered an elite force in Ferenginar. Ordinary infantry that encounter them are usually slaughtered.
It is worth noting that Serhel has a famous and powerful Griffin Knights, with only a few hundred regular members.
Although such a Griffin Knight requires strict training and selection, only the strongest and most excellent members will be left behind. It's different from 'bandits riding griffins', but even so, having this many Griffins appear in this small place is something that defies heaven.
So it's no surprise that the Lion's Claw thieves' guild was able to muscle in and take control of the town.
Pang Ni walked out of the mansion and found a group of dwarves building an underground tunnel by the river. He suddenly had an idea and called over the leader of the dwarves, Lu Ruike: "How long does it take for you to dig a hole like this?"
"Oh, with our technology, just a few days will be enough." Luric smiled at Penny and waved the hoe in his hand.
Peregrin took a look and noticed that the spade's style was peculiar, with all sorts of features for digging and excavating, and from this small detail, he knew that the dwarves were indeed exceptionally skilled in their areas of expertise.
"What's wrong? Is there something?" Rourouke asked again in a rough voice as he saw the law master dazed.
"Oh, that's it, I hope to change the style of this pit... put a solid stone top on it, and if possible, add some metal frame, and cover the top with a layer of thatch or soft mud..." Panni said for a while, seeing Rourick's puzzled face: "It's just trying to make these pits defend against attacks from the air, like those lions eagles the other day."
The dwarves' IQ is generally not high, Penny said bluntly, and Rourick only came to his senses: "It turns out that's the case, it's indeed a good idea."
He muttered to himself, "What a wonderful idea. You know, life underground doesn't have to consider those things."
Of course, the dark region didn't have an air force, so there was no need for air raid shelters. Penny muttered to herself and thought about the shape of the bunker in her memory: "Right, make the walls that are exposed above ground thicker, open more windows, and leave enough shooting holes."
"Adults, to deal with those monsters, we need some crossbows, and we want to use special arrowheads in order to effectively form a killing force." Rourick thought for a moment, the experience of fighting underground gave him an idea.
Xien thought for a moment and nodded his head. Indeed, arrows with such thick feather fletching were really hard to come by.
"It's not actually difficult, just need to use a tool for simple processing, can make several hundred in one day, but adults, we don't have those things..." At this point, Luruk let out a breath and licked his lips: "Really want to blow up that group of beasts."
"I think we'll have a chance." Penny Sienn frowned: "Can you manufacture crossbows?"
"We don't have materials..." Rourick spread his hands: "Sir, we even lack the most basic tools."
Penny Xi furrowed her brow in thought for a moment, then went back into the house to fetch paper, pen and ruler. She spent an entire afternoon before finally drawing out over a dozen drafts.
These are relatively primitive simple machines.
Penny wasn't sure if the laws of another world still applied in this one, because magic existed here - it allowed people to use non-logical powers, making logic uncertain in this world. Xian didn't dare confirm whether electricity could be generated with coils and magnets in this world, but at least he knew that gunpowder in this world could only be made in small quantities through alchemy, and the formula was also somewhat different from another world.
At the end of the day, this is a world dominated by magic, which almost replaces all logical laws that can produce science.
But as long as water can still produce steam when heated, and power can still be transmitted through gears and mechanical parts, then industry in this world is still valuable.
In fact, Xi'en was a complete mechanical novice before his rebirth. The source of these drawings actually came from Ferren's hometown.
Over ten thousand years ago, Imaska was also skilled in mechanics. Many of the ancient empire's arcane knowledge and mechanical principles were stored in Panni's mind.
When these knowledge mixed with the consciousness of the traversers, the fermented things produced are a bit frightening.
At least he knew how to use the rules of this world to manifest the power of another world.
And in Ferren where magic exists, achieving those effects seems even simpler.
For example, Pani's right hand power can make it easier for him to create magical tools than an ordinary mage, and this extraordinary ability from the divine favor he has only used a few times.
Panny was designing a kind of rapid-fire crossbow that could shoot arrows like a rocket launcher, or magic armor that could turn people into superhumans. However, after writing several pages, he suddenly remembered that the most basic material problem had not been solved yet, so he stopped his design work and began to ponder.
Obviously he didn't have time to mine - it's not something that can be done in a short period of time, maybe there's a way to go north and south for procurement?
Panny has been thinking about where to buy a large amount of metal resources or get some mercenaries. He pulls out a new piece of parchment and starts making a list of purchases.
"Xien, come help me out." Just then, Hughes' voice came from outside the door. Penny walked into Hughes' courtyard and found him setting up a magic pattern in the center of the room. He observed for a while before recognizing it:
"Are you setting up a portal?"
"Not bad." Hughes wiped the sweat from his round face: "Like this, when I'm outside, I can transmit back through transmission magic. Quick, help me out."
Panni joined in the work of setting up the formation, helping out while asking: "You still can't use teleportation, so to say, do you have a treasure on your body that allows for teleportation?"
"Hmm..." Hughes was taken aback for a moment, then scratched his bald head: "Not bad, I have some teleportation scrolls. If one day we encounter danger that we can't handle, we can teleport to escape."
"So you're saying I can now be transported back home?" Penny's eyes lit up.
"Not bad." Hughes nodded.
"That's great, I remember such transmission portals are in the center of every city in Sel, can we now transmit to Sanafen?" Panni asked.
Sano Fen is the capital of Sazah Province.
"I'm going there to buy some things." Seeing Hughes' puzzled expression, Penny added a sentence.
"Oh, that's no problem, I'm familiar with the city." Hughes pulled out a scroll: "First help me set up the waymark, or we won't be able to get back."
"Uh, actually, it's a bit of an extravagance." Penny looked at the scroll and suddenly remembered that a fifth-level magic scroll wasn't something ordinary people could afford.
"Hmm... actually, if this thing is used for escaping, the fate would be a bit too miserable." Hughes smiled at Xien: "I just hope it can live up to its value, rather than being a waste of resources."
"Don't worry." Penny nodded: "We'll definitely all get what we want."
"What do you want?" Hughes yawned: "I'm just accompanying you on an adventure, maybe when I'm old, this will become some of the memories in my life that are worth savoring... before my life becomes completely dull."
"Who can be certain about the future?" Penny shook her head indifferently.
……
Those with backstage support can easily open doors wherever they go.
When Xien arrived at Sanofen, the influence of this generation's Hughes was truly revealed. As soon as he walked out of the transmission array, someone hailed a carriage to come and serve him with courtesy, inquired about his destination, and took the two of them onto the carriage, heading straight for the Chamber of Commerce.
"I really don't like this." However, someone who is obviously dissatisfied with enjoying such power said: "Every time I 'enjoy' these things, I am reminded of my identity and the fate that cannot be escaped."
"It's actually a fate that every ordinary Ser is looking forward to." Penny shook her head indifferently: "Everyone has their own troubles."
"Maybe it's just that I have too many unnecessary thoughts." Hughes shook his head. The coachman reminded them that they had arrived at their destination, and the two got off the carriage and entered a massive building.
This city is adjacent to the Sunrise Mountains, and many adventurers come and go, so weapon transactions are also very frequent. However, Hughes told Penny that every transaction here is actually recorded in the Governor's Office, and the largest arms supplier is also the ruler of this city.
"Every single penny here ultimately ends up in the governor's pocket." As they passed by the entrance of the Wogin Temple, Hughes sighed and said, "The military revenue of this city accounts for one-tenth of the Dalamos family's income."
"The Dalamos family? I heard the Governor is about to retire."
"Retirement? People have been talking about that for twenty years, but I've always suspected he's like the head of the Spirit Division and has transformed into a different species." Hughes let out a snicker.
"Hmm... Speaking of which, which family does that Chief belong to?" Panni suddenly asked. In the Red Robe Society, Szazsztan's influence was everywhere, and he felt extremely curious about this legendary witch who had controlled the Red Robe Society for over 200 years.
"He? We rarely add the family code before his name, because his influence has long surpassed the boundaries of the family." Hughes suddenly sighed: "At the peak of his power, during those years when the Tuqan people invaded, any Ser would have to look at his face."
Panni nodded, in that one battle that swept the entire Eastern Ferelden, Sazastan indeed did a very beautiful thing. That year, more than 300,000 Tu'khan nomadic cavalrymen, led by the wise ruler Yamen Kahan, charged into Eastern Ferelden from the endless wilderness and launched an attack on the eastern border of Absolution. Serl was the first to bear the brunt, but Sazastan terminated the Tu'khan's invasion through negotiation and negotiation, and set up a transmission array to transmit these Tu'khan people to the depths of Laiserman in the north - The Tu'khan people's westward march stopped only on the distant western coast of the Fallen Star Sea. All countries along the way suffered their attacks, and Laiserman suffered especially heavy losses, while Serl lost almost nothing in this event.
Sazasutan's influence and prestige reached its peak with this beautiful move, and even now it is still admired by the younger generation of the Magic Association.
"But if you want to get technical about it, he's been running Dalamos for over a hundred years." Hughes sighed.
"So, Sazaha is his territory?"
"Years ago, all of Sael was his territory." Hughes raised an eyebrow.
Pan Ni nodded and stopped talking, picked up several weapons from the stall to observe them for a while, and her eyebrows gradually furrowed.
Most of these weapons were made of bronze.
The forging industry in the Eastern Domain of Desolation is not developed, and in fact, Ferren's large-scale use of ironware, apart from dwarves, only remains in human nations near Komir, while in other places, ironware is a high-end commodity.
Taking these copper things to deal with the lion eagle, Penny's confidence is not enough.
"These are all locally produced rejects. If you want to buy ironware, you have to go upstairs." Hughes seemed familiar with the place and gave a nod to the waiter: "Follow me."
