"How many reputation points is this worth?"
Lorne took out a red [Fire Crystal] from his bag!
This was dropped when they killed the "Fire Elemental Giant". The Fire Elemental Giant was a high-level special monster. The items dropped from its body should not be bad.
When he saw this thing, Tully's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "This is a Fire Crystal. It will only condense in the purest place of the fire elements, and this crystal contains the aura of a dragon. It's top-grade material!"
"I really didn't expect you to have such a precious thing."
"However, the Fire Elemental Crystal is more suitable for forging. If we give it to the dwarfs, they should offer a higher price, but here, we can count it as 300 reputation points from one."
The offer was actually 300 points. It seemed that this was indeed a good thing.
Lorne had more than a hundred such crystals on him, but considering the difficulty of obtaining them, he did not take them out.
"Look at this again."
Lorne took out the pearl from his bag.
This was a material he had obtained from the One-Eyed Giant Snake, Mora. These pearls should be very valuable.
When he saw this pearl, Tully's eyes lit up again, "I didn't expect you to have such a rare luxury item, adventurer. These pearls with special patterns can only be produced at the bottom of the Lake of Death. To the nobles on land, this is a very precious treasure. Therefore, such a pearl can be used in place of the reputation of the gnomes by 500 points."
It was even higher than the value of the Fire Crystal!
Lorne was surprised. In his bag, there were a total of 6,000 pearls at the bottom of the lake, which could be used in place of 3 million Gnome Reputation points!
From the looks of it, he had too much foresight in exploiting the giant snake.
"In that case, I want to buy another 100 intermediate Gnome Robots and 1,000 magic crystals. I want to add another batch of these resources!"
Previously, Lorne had thought that he did not have enough funds, so he had abandoned a lot of things.
But who would have thought that these pearls at the bottom of the lake were so valuable?
There was no need to hesitate now. He directly bought a large amount of resources to first clean up the ruins of the Cold Desolate Dragon City.
After some calculations, the materials that Lorne had chosen required a total of 3.5 million reputation points. After a 20% discount, they only required 2.8 million reputation points.
Without hesitation, Lorne paid 5,600 pearls.
"My dear adventurer, it has been a pleasure working with you."
There was a smile on Tully's face. In just half an hour, he had sold such a large amount of resources. The performance bonus of the Gnome Mineral Branch in Iron Skull City would also increase greatly.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the warehouse.
"Where do we need to send these supplies?" asked Tully.
This time, Lorne bought a lot of supplies, especially the robots. There were more than a hundred of them. These equipment were very heavy, and he had to use large transport machines to deliver them safely.
"No need. I'll take it away now."
Lorne walked up and placed his hand on the supplies. In the next second, the heavy machinery disappeared.
Tully was stunned, "Adventurer, was what you just used the Dragon Race's 'Dragon's Treasure Vault'?"
"Yes."
"I see."
Tully smiled, "It seems that the Dragon of Light values you far more than I imagined."
At this moment, a gnome in charge of the design ran over and whispered something in Tully's ear. The latter immediately smiled.
"Adventurer, our engineering department has already designed the mining route."
Tully took the blueprint from the gnome engineer. There were several planned routes drawn on it. He said, "Adventurer, we plan to start mining immediately. After a while, when the engineers have gathered, we will use the airship to send the engineers and equipment to the estimated coordinates. Then, we will begin to work along the border between the Doomsday Forest and the Lake of Death. We will first use all our manpower to mine the ordinary areas and begin a detailed survey of the underground environment of the high-level mines. After we have all investigated, we will assign high-level miners and robots to mine."
"Due to the complicated environment, we plan to mine the ore underground this time. Although the difficulty is higher, such a plan is easier and safer than dealing with the powerful monsters outside."
"As for transportation, that's a huge problem. Our plan is to place all the minerals on this highland mountain range and then transport them to the company…"
"These are our initial plans for the time being. What do you think?"
Tully explained everything. As a company dedicated to mining, their experience was unquestionable.
However, Lorne cared more about the word "airship".
"How long until your airship reaches the Doomsday Forest?"
"It will take about a day or two to set off from here, because we need to transport a lot of equipment. We can't go at full speed."
Tully's explanation surprised Lorne.
It had to be known that this place was very far from the Doomsday Forest. If ordinary players wanted to run the map, it would take at least a week, or even longer.
Their airships could arrive in a day or two despite transporting a large amount of equipment. In this world of swords and magic, it was indeed astonishing.
"An airship is a device that has a higher level of confidentiality than a mining robot, but if our cooperation reaches a certain level, the Gnome Mineral Company can sell you one."
Clearly seeing through Lorne's thoughts, Tully reminded him of this information.
Originally, the airship was a high-level equipment in the Gnome Company and could not be sold to any force. However, this adventurer was different. In his hands, he had the original map of the Dragon Kingdom. If he was willing to use it as a bargaining chip, he believed that the Gnome Company could sell him any equipment.
Hearing this, Lorne was indeed tempted.
However, the time needed to buy this thing was still too far away. At the very least, there would definitely not be such a need during this period of time.
The two of them conversed casually for a while. At this moment, Lorne suddenly said, "Mr. Tully, I have a request that I hope you can agree to."
