    The town of Kriegers is now half owned by Venigo.  Because of his contribution to rescuing the king, Prince Nicholas exceeded his authority and assigned the only plain between Kriges and Sweetwater to Venigo as a fief.  Venigo was now a real baron with a fiefdom.  The area of ????this plain is not too large, there are no products on it, and the population is blank.  But this is nothing to Venigo. As long as there is enough land, he can develop it.  This plain is closer to the town of Krigs, and although the original road from Sweetwater Town to Kriggs Town is in disrepair, it still exists. It can still be repaired with a little labor.  The important thing is that the plain between Sweetwater Town and Kriges Town contains many treasures that are unique to the entire kingdom.  What fascinates Venigo the most is the black rock mountain that can produce special ores.  There are countless magic ores buried under the rock formations here. Although they are too low-grade as magic materials, the metals smelted are much better than ordinary steel.  The reserves of this kind of ore are extremely high. The difficulty lies in how to mine the almost whole piece of extremely hard ore and purify the required magic metal.  " Moreover, as a magic ore, it has a very troublesome feature, that is, it is a very stable alloy after smelting, and it is difficult to modify its formula.  But even so, the mines here are still a coveted wealth.  The reason why no one has touched it until now is because it is too dangerous and there are simply not enough workers to be recruited.  But Venigo doesn¡¯t actually need too many workers.  He just took the Prism Mercenary Group and escorted a large number of semi-finished products to the temporary camp built before, where he built a small village where he could live.  In that small town, the most conspicuous thing is a large factory.  In the factory, there are several magic machines that have just been assembled.  In addition to this, there are a hundred newly bred giant burrowing insects standing neatly.  These giant insects cultivated by biotechnology have a flat body that is one meter long, and a pair of huge hard digging feet. With these weapons, they can break hard rocks and dig out.  The crushed ore is crushed by a magic machine, impurities are removed, and sent to a huge smelting furnace for smelting.  "Interestingly, diggers are used to working at night.  During the day, it was the working time for the civilians hired by Venigo from Kriges Town and nearby counties.  On the surface, Venigo's men can mine dozens of tons of ore every month, but in fact, Venigo's harvest of ore per month is three hundred tons.  The metal ingots smelted in the workshop can be sold to blacksmiths everywhere, or you can build your own equipment.  Venigo's other magic machine is a hydraulic press. The torque generated by the core of the magic machine is amplified by a hydraulic device, which can generate thousands of tons of huge pressure to press metal ingots into steel plates.  If a special mold is used, finished products such as plate gold armor and breastplate can be directly forged.  Venigo also tried using molds to press the rough embryos of weapons, and then handed them to blacksmiths to process into refined weapons.  Because the efficiency of the magic machine is very high, Venigo said that the yield rate of the magic machine is very low, and more than half of the equipment must be re-melted.  On the surface, weapons and armor labeled as qualified products will be sold to the High Council at a more favorable price, but in fact, Venigo's production exceeds what it seems on the surface, and a large number of them are sent as defective products.  The destroyed equipment, cleverly disguised by the Prism mercenaries, was hidden in the mezzanine of the carriage and transported to the Pirate Nest's strongholds in various places, where it was sold to smugglers at high prices.  ¡ª¡ªAn arms dealer who does not sell weapons to enemy countries is not a good arms dealer.  ¡ª¡ªAlso, in every world, the most profitable transaction is always the arms transaction.  The cost of production in Venigo's workshop is much lower than that of other blacksmiths.  The raw materials are close at hand and are supplied almost free of charge; no hired workers are needed, just feeding the giant ground-burrowing insects and supplying the magic machine consumes a small amount of magic power; the products supplied to the High Council are tax-free, and smuggling is even more profitable - comprehensive  As mentioned above, this transaction can bring Venigo thousands of gold coins every month.  Although according to the intelligence of the High Council, Venigo's monthly income is only two hundred gold coins.  But this number still makes many people jealous.  ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the good relationship between Venigo and the High Council, I¡¯m afraid someone would have been tempted to reach out to Venigo.  Thanks to Venigo's "notoriety", many people who are new nobles without aristocratic family background know his experience and the blood on his hands.  Venigo also knows that this kind of business cannot be done for too long. After all, it can be hidden for a while, but not forever.  Venigo plans to accumulate a huge sum of money to restore the mine's output to "normal" levels.  Venigo¡¯s other secret, his monster farm, is almost?It has been brought to the attention of the High Council.  Venigo simply made the farm public. After all, the packhorses he used and the heavy-duty war horses modified from packhorses had been seen too many times.  However, the inconspicuous cactus field was still not noticed by anyone. People just thought it was food for the monsters. They did not know that Venigo actually used these cactus to store genetic information and Jenova cells.  This dangerous secret is placed in the most conspicuous position, and no one pays attention to it.  When Venigo gained a foothold, he began to deal with the commissions of the High Council.  The High Council also wanted to use this area to do something. First, they wanted to borrow the camp that Venigo had prepared before, and second, they wanted to use Venigo's power to clear a safe area for them.  However, Venigo doesn¡¯t really want to do this.  He wanted to have this area to himself, so Venigo took no one with him and started cleaning up alone.  Sophie was a little worried, but she had more important things to do.  The manpower previously lost on the battlefield needs to be replenished.  So Sophie wants to train more sword and shield players, and Soft, Marin, and even Su Na and Xiaolang Ji are all busy training people.  With Prism¡¯s current reputation, it can naturally attract many desperate mercenaries who want to exchange swords and blood for rewards.  In addition to ordinary mercenaries, there were even wandering mages and members of the former Divine Fist Temple and Sun Temple who came to seek refuge.  Naturally, there are spies from other forces among them, but Prism doesn't care. They absorb all members who want to join without hesitation, and restrict them with generous but strict rules.  In Icewind Town and Butegre Bay, Marin's men secretly contacted the local garrisons and received a large number of prisoners from them.  So, the Prism Mercenary Group has been very busy recently. ? ==Young Man Walking Alone== ? On the black rocky ground, a strange-shaped iron guy was driving past at high speed.  It has four large wheels, which are fixed around the body by metal branches of different lengths. These branches lift its body high away from the ground to avoid hitting small stones on the road when traveling at high speed.  The body of the steel monster is flat and flat, with a steel wing on each side. There are no feathers on the wings, only a huge circular saw, and a ferocious blue light flashes as the wings swing.  At the base of the wings, there are two hemispheres that look like balls of flesh, which look extremely incongruous with the entire steel body.  This monster is the work of Venigo, the magic machine he calls the "butter knife".  "Record: 60 kilometers per hour, minimum turning radius 3.6 metersexcellent off-road performance." On the back of the butter knife, Venigo held the iron wing in one hand and the information ball in the other while recording.  "Enemy found." Butter Knife made an awkward metallic voice and reported, "2 o'clock direction, 263 meters, stay put." "Reconnaissance ability is average." After Venigo said the last sentence, he put away the information ball.  Jump off the magic machine.  So, the butter knife turned slightly and rushed towards the suspicious position.  Behind a huge rock, a roaring demon suddenly jumped out.  This huge enemy with thick carapace suddenly rushed towards the butter knife, its long and thick arms grabbing hard at the metal wings of the butter knife.  Venigo curled his lips. He did not give an order, but just watched how the butter knife responded with his own intelligence.  Butter Knife just leaned its wings forward, and suddenly, the circular saw on the wing tip turned rapidly and collided hard with the devil's giant claw.  Sparks flew, and the demon grabbed the circular saw, but its giant claws failed to stop the circular saw from rotating. Instead, it tore a shallow scratch from the circular saw.  ¡°So hard!¡± Venigo praised.  The circular saw is the hardest part of the butter knife. It is made of high-carbon steel and is made sharp and strong through alchemy. It can easily cut through magic ore and ordinary steel.  It is called the Butter Knife because most enemies will be sliced ??open as easily as a piece of butter under its circular saw.  But the demon in front of him obviously has amazing defensive power.  The four wheels of the butter knife pulled up pillars of dust on the ground. The strong power pushed it and the devil forward at high speed, smashing seven or eight rocks along the way, and finally stopped at a huge rock about four meters high.  The devil was hit hard by the butter knife against the rock, grinding out large cracks in the hard rock.  At this time, the demon, which finally took a breath, saw the weakness of the butter knife. It raised its arms and burst out with great strength, trying to lift the butter knife off the ground.  Without hesitation, the butter knife severed the wings, retreated backwards, and escaped from the demon's surroundings.  When the demon dropped the circular saw in his hand, he found that the metal monster in front of him hit him head-on.   In extreme acceleration mode, the butter knife accelerated to an exaggerated speed in less than a second and hit the devil's belly hard.  At that speed, the butter knife-shaped head was like a giant weapon slashing hard at the demon's abdomen.  Even the defensive demon was almost broken by this impact.  "It's a very good design, don't you think the devil rules the living creatures?" Venigo said.
