System: Build My Own Territory-Chapter 711 - 244: Ten Magic Ores (10,000) (6)

"Luckily, my guard captain risked his life to save me..."

Lynn mused for a moment.

So, this was the origin of the scar on Zod’s chest.

But soon.

Lynn thought of something.

He looked at Zod with interest and inquired.

"And then? Mr. Zod, once you recovered, didn’t you organize a team and enter the Forest of Oblivion again?"

Since Zod knew the value of magic ore and the existence of a magic ore vein in the Forest of Oblivion.

As a businessman, how could he easily give up?

One must know that a competent businessman in this world, as long as there is enough profit.

They might even sell their wives and children!

Zod showed no shame, nodding.

"Facing such a temptation, I naturally wouldn’t let it go easily."

"I found a medium-sized mercenary corps."

"Fifteen hundred strong, and I took them into the Forest of Oblivion with me."

"All for the sake of that magic ore vein, which can definitely be mined, regardless of its size."

"But... Master Lynn..."

"The elves in the forest are like gods, and the entire mercenary corps was annihilated!"

"Only I managed to escape with a dozen guards."

Lynn remained silent.

Zod sighed, "Master Lynn, it wasn’t until then that I understood."

"The strength of the elf tribe living on the giant trees is far more powerful than I imagined!"

"Their numbers are at least in the tens of thousands!"

"To wrest that magic ore vein from the elf tribe."

"You would need an army far exceeding the numbers of the elf tribe, fully armed and entering the Forgotten Forest."

Lynn nodded, still not responding to Zod’s words.

At present, he indeed needed a lot of magic ore.

Because all the constructions in the Special Building Library require energy stones for exchange.

To build, magic ore is also necessary.

However. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

He had never considered, with the current military power of his territory,

to sail longships, cross the ocean, reach the Portlands Empire, enter the Forest of Oblivion, and wage war with the elf tribe!

That would be sheer folly!

Even without magic ore, his territory could still develop.

It’s just that the development pace would be slightly slower.

Lynn well knew that territory development requires steady progress.

No one can achieve everything at once.

Like the six thousand peasants he brought back not long ago.

If he hadn’t also seized a large amount of grain from the Three Great Estates.

This explosive population growth of six thousand would have exhausted his grain reserves, plunging the territory into a food crisis.

Zod picked up the glazed cup from the table again, taking a sip of gin.

He remarked, "Master Lynn, do you know what the most painful thing is?"

"It’s knowing there’s a mountain of gold, but it’s unattainable."

Lynn smiled, "Mr. Zod, I always believe that what you can hold in your hands is what’s real."

"Otherwise, you’re just creating trouble for yourself!"

Listening to Lynn, Zod was slightly taken aback, then understood.

"Thank you, Master Lynn, for your advice. I was being too stubborn!"

Lynn smiled in return.

Despite Zod’s words, there was still a flicker of greed in his eyes.

Lynn could understand.

Anyone would have greed, not just Zod; he was the same.

If he had the military strength to simultaneously topple all the lord nobility of the Karedi Empire.

He would march his army today rather than wait until tomorrow!

Lynn believed, once Zod found greater support,

he would undoubtedly lead a powerful army to attack the elf tribe in the Forest of Oblivion.

Zod finished recounting his strange experiences during this time.

He changed the topic.

"By the way, Master Lynn."

"Beside the forty thousand pounds of leather on the carriage, I also brought you something peculiar."

Lynn, intrigued, looked at Zod and asked.

"I wonder what kind of goods could Mr. Zod call peculiar?"

Zod smiled slightly.

His gaze turned to the Guard Captain, Snape Dorian, waiting at the door.

Without a word, Snape, holding a wooden box in his left hand, walked forward.

Although Zod was being coy, Lynn already had an inkling.

Snape placed the wooden box on the table, and with a practiced motion, unlocked it.

As Snape moved his right hand, the box lid flipped open.

The items inside the wooden box came into Lynn’s view.

Magic ore!

With a glance, he saw there were ten pieces of magic ore!

After opening the box, Snape returned to stand behind Zod.

Zod’s face was full of smiles, "I think Master Lynn will like such peculiar goods, right?"

He had personally brought Master Lynn a Dwarf and a Succubus!

Never mind the Succubus.

The Dwarf alone, when forging or producing armor and weapons with magic empowerment.

Must use the magic ore before him!

In other words.

Master Lynn standing before him was the perfect customer for selling magic ore!

Lynn, without hiding, said, "I don’t think anyone knows better than you, Mr. Zod, whether I like it or not."

"Name your price directly, Mr. Zod."

Zod calmly said, "One piece of magic ore for one hundred gold pounds!"

Without hesitation, Lynn extended his right hand to Zod.

"Deal, Mr. Zod."

Hearing Lynn’s straightforward response and seeing his extended right hand, Zod was slightly taken aback.

He understood well that Lynn needed these ten pieces of magic ore.

But he hadn’t expected Lynn to agree so quickly, catching him off guard.

After shaking hands with Zod, Lynn looked directly at him and asked, "Ten pieces of magic ore, one thousand gold pounds."

"Along with forty thousand pounds of leather... the current market price is..."

Zod picked up, "The market price is five pence!"

Lynn glanced at the Market and Prices document.

Indeed, it was five pence per pound.

"So, in total, it’s one thousand eight hundred and thirty-four gold pounds."

"Mr. Zod, would you prefer to be paid in gold pounds or in goods from my territory?"

The price of magic ore was very high!

Exceptionally high!

But lacking magic ore, he had no choice but to spend a hefty sum to purchase them!

He needed the magic ore to expand the Mutated Wild Boar Farm.

He needed magic ore to build the Pigeon Nest and the Wolf’s Den!
