Cthulhu Gonfalon

Through the magnifying glass, Hops carefully looked at the silver ore in his hand and continually rotated it in the sun to study from various angles.

After a while, he determined the texture of the ore through a strange reflection.

"Mystery, the purity is more than half." He muttered, put the ore in a wooden box on the left hand side, and picked up a piece from the pile of ore in front of him, and observed it carefully.

A few minutes later, he shook his head and muttered "silver ore" and threw the ore into a rattan basket in the distance.

This is obvious enough to be no longer distinguishable treatment, derived from the value of the two ore. Silver ore is not worth the money. Even if it is refined into sterling silver, it can be used to cast silver coins. The silver ore thrown by him can extract about sterling silver equivalent to less than ten silver coins, and considering the cost of refining and casting, the value of this thing will not exceed two silver coins.

Two silver coins, for Hops, really is not a big number. Usually he asks his friends to have a meal, often more than this number.

However, the Mithril ore is different. Even if the ore is a lower-value Mithril silver mine, it is also necessary to use gold coins to calculate the price. Generally speaking, it is roughly one gold per gram. The piece he just put in the wooden box, about to extract 40 grams of Mithril, this is equivalent to four or fifty gold coins!

If this is the congenital silver mine, it is even more unbearable, at least worth more than 200 gold coins. If it is finished, it may be worth five hundred gold coins or more, which is higher than his monthly salary.

Different values, the status is naturally different.

Just like the same beneficiation work, these people in the exploration team can only start for the two appraisers, help the masters pre-select materials, choose the secret silver ore from the silver ore. The masters are responsible for selecting the innate secret silver mine from the secret silver ore.

The difference in work leads to different values, which leads to different status.

Hops, their seven or eight dressing workers add up, and the salary is probably similar to a master, because they are taking a special field allowance from the Northwest Republic. Otherwise, if it is in accordance with the standard of the gold coin, it may be equivalent to a fraction of the others.

But Hopps did not have any dissatisfaction. If they had a penny, they had only such a large amount of ability, and naturally they could only have such a high income and have such a high status.

For example, now, putting a piece of congenital secret silver mine and a piece of acquired secret silver mine in front of him, he really exhausted the way and could not distinguish it.

The most reliable way to distinguish between these two ores is to use magic. As long as the primary spell "identification" is advanced, it can accurately distinguish between the innate secret silver and the acquired secret silver.

However, the advanced level of identification is an unconventional magic technique that generally must be achieved by a high-level wizard. Let a high-level wizard spend a lot of magic every day to identify a few ore? After the advanced appraisal, the magic of consumption is very much. Ordinary high-ranking mage will probably perform five or six times a day. Each time, you can identify two or three Mithril ore... knowing how to hire such a mage to cast spells. ?

If there is no special friendship, the market price, an advanced appraisal will probably cost thousands of coins...

And this ratio, the master's salary is nothing.

Therefore, Hops's friend, Cambron, persuaded him more than once, taking advantage of the young and cultivating, and cultivating to the high-level druids. When it is time to have money and money, it is necessary to have status and how good!

Among the vain gods that the Northwest Republic believes, the **** of agriculture has a special preference for the Druid. At present, there are more than 20 high-level Druids who have invested in His Majesty, and there are not many pastors in His church, and the casters are mainly Druids.

The **** of agriculture promotes advances in agricultural technology, enabling people to obtain more resources from limited arable land, which greatly reduces people's destruction of nature and receives the praise and support of most druids. In particular, the Druid who advocated "the harmonious coexistence of man and nature" regarded him as an idol. Almost the entire faction came to him, and his church grew up at once.

At present, in the world, to learn the knowledge and skills of the Druid, the most reliable way is to come to the Northwest Republic and join the Church of the God of Agriculture.

Hopps has a good natural magic talent, which means he can indeed develop in the direction of the druid. But he himself does not have the will in this regard, if he can, he would rather be a ranger.

Druid's pay attention is a lot of, for example, can not kill people because of the pursuit of food; for example, eat as little as possible to use condiments, to be simple; for example, can not wear woven clothing, can not use metal weapons or armor; I can't live in a bustling city for a long time, can't participate in a luxurious banquet or celebration... and so on.

Hopps can't do this, but he doesn't want to do that.

Those who can become druids, only those who really yearn for nature, hate red tape, are not interested in prosperity and enjoyment, and focus on inner peace. He is not that kind of person.

"...and silver ore!" Throwing another piece of ore into the rattan basket in the distance, Hops felt a little tired, stood up and activities, came to the pool and washed his hands and walked freely in the camp.

Mineral processing is a fine work and requires concentration. If the situation is not good, it will affect work efficiency and work quality. So take a break after each session of work, activities, take a walk.

Looking at his free and easy way, the workers from the Union of Gold coins showed their envious eyes.

Many practices in the Northwestern Republic and the Golden Coin Federation are different. For example, in the treatment of workers, the workers of the Union of Gold Coins are far less treated than the Northwestern Republic. The difference is not only in money, but in the status of each other.

For example, in this joint exploration team, there are also miners from the federal merchants of the gold coin. But when they are tired, they can't take a walk like this. They can only lie in the tent and sleep for a while, then they will continue to work.

Although each other's income is linked to the workload, Hopps are not required to choose how many mines to choose each day. If they don't care about the income reduction, they will have no problem for a few days. Anyway, the basic allowance can always be obtained. of. The workers in the gold coin union are different. If they can't complete the basic workload that must be completed every day, they will not get the full salary of the day, and will be deducted a large part.

Their wages are far from being as good as those of the Northwestern Republic. If they are deducted again, it will be difficult to support their families.

What’s even worse is that their daily basic workload is based on the most skilled workers. The average worker wants to complete this level of work and can only work overtime.

So even if they envy Hopes, there is no way to follow suit.

rest? They have no capital to rest.

"I always feel that the practice of the gold coin is a bit familiar to me..." Xiong Xiong floated in the air, watching the camp below, scratching his chin with his hand and thinking silently. "Where did I see this kind of thing? In life? Or in the network?"

"Anyway... there is a terrible feeling!"
