Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 103:

Through a magnifying glass, Hopps carefully studied the silver ore on his hands, spinning it in the sunlight continuously, studying it from all angles.

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

“Mithril is more than half pure.” He muttered to himself, putting the ore in a wooden box on the left hand side, and then 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, muttered “silver ore”, and threw the ore into a rattan basket in the distance.

This is so obvious that there can be no more obvious difference in treatment, which comes from the vastly different value of the two minerals. Silver mine [pig][pig][Island] novel www.huhu.m stone is worthless, even if it is refined into pure silver, it can be used to mint silver coins. The piece of silver ore thrown by him can probably extract pure 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 are really not a big sum for Hopps. He usually invites his friends to a potluck, often more than this amount.

But mythril ore is different. Even if the ore is a lower-value mithril ore, gold coins are used to calculate the price after it is extracted. Generally speaking, it is roughly one gold coin per gram. The piece he just put in the wooden box can extract forty or fifty grams of Mithril, which is equivalent to forty or fifty gold coins!

If this is the Innate Mithril Mine, it is even more remarkable. At least it is worth more than two hundred gold coins. If it is made into a finished product, it may be worth five hundred gold coins or more, which is higher than his monthly salary.

Different values ​​have different statuses.

Just like doing mineral dressing work, these people in their exploration team can only help the two appraisal masters, help the masters pre-select materials, and select the Mithril ore from the silver ore. The masters are responsible for selecting the innate mithril ore from the mithril ore.

Different jobs lead to different statuses.

Hopps and their seven or eight beneficiation workers together, the salary is probably about the same as that of a master, this is because they are receiving a special field allowance from the Northwest Republic. Otherwise, according to the standards of the Gold Coin Federation, it may be equivalent to a fraction of others.

But Hopps is not dissatisfied. You get what you pay for. They only have such a great ability, so naturally they can only have such a high income and such a high status.

For example, now, putting a congenital mythril mine and an acquired mythril mine in front of him, he really tried his best to distinguish it.

The most reliable way to distinguish these two minerals is to use magic. As long as the primary spell “identification” is advanced, you can accurately distinguish between congenital mithril and acquired mithril.

However, the advanced appraisal technique is an ultra-conventional magic technique, which can only be achieved by a high-level mage. Let a high-level mage consume a lot of magic power every day to identify how many ore? The appraisal technique after the advanced level consumes a lot of mana, and the average high-level mage can only cast it five or six times a day, and each time it can appraise two or three mithril ore… I know what price it takes to hire such a mage to cast the spell. ?

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

Compared with this, the salary of a master appraiser is nothing.

So Hopps’ good friend Cambrona has advised him more than once to cultivate well while young and strive to become a high-level Druid. When that happens, he wants money and money, status and status, how great!

Among the void gods believed in in the Northwestern Republic, the **** of agriculture especially favors druids. At present, more than twenty high-ranking druids have been put under his command, and in his church, there are not many pastors, and the casters are mainly druids.

The **** of agriculture promotes the advancement of agricultural technology, so that people can get more resources from limited arable land, which greatly reduces people’s destruction of nature, and has been praised and supported by most druids. Especially the druids of the faction who advocated “harmonious coexistence between man and nature” regarded him as an idol. Almost the whole faction came to him, which made his church grow stronger all at once.

Currently in the world, when it comes to learning the knowledge and skills of druids, 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 that he can indeed develop in the direction of a druid. But he himself did not have the will in this regard, if he could, he would rather be a ranger.

Druids are very particular about it. For example, you can’t kill creatures because of the pursuit of food; for example, you should eat as little as possible with condiments and keep it simple; for example, you can’t wear woven clothes, you can’t use metal weapons or Armor; for example, you cannot live in a prosperous city for a long time, or participate in luxurious banquets or celebrations… etc.

Hopes is not unable to do this, but he is unwilling to do that.

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

“…Silver ore again!” Throwing another piece of ore into the rattan basket in the distance, Hops felt a little tired, got up and moved around, went to the pool to wash his hands, and was in the camp. Take a walk at will.

Ore beneficiation is a delicate task that requires concentration. If the state is not good, it will affect work efficiency and work quality. So after working for a period of time, take a break, move around, and take a walk.

Looking at him at ease, the workers from the Gold Coin Federation showed envious eyes.

Many practices of the Northwestern Republic and the Gold Coin Federation are different. For example, in terms of workers’ treatment, the treatment of workers in the Gold Coin Federation is far inferior to that of the Northwest Republic. The difference is not only in money, but also in each other’s status.

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

Although each other’s income is tied to the workload~IndoMTL.com~, Hopps and the others are not required to choose how many mines each day. If they don’t care about the reduction in income, it’s okay to rest for a few days, anyway. The basic allowance is always available. But the workers of the Gold Coin Federation are different. If they cannot complete the basic workload that must be completed every day, they will not get the full salary of the day, and a large part of it will be deducted.

Their wages are already far worse than their counterparts in the Northwestern Republic. If they were deducted again, it would be difficult to support their families.

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

So even if they admire Hopps no matter how much, they can’t follow suit.

Take a rest? They have no rest capital.

“I always feel that the practice of the Gold Coin Federation makes me familiar…” Sui Xiong floated in the air, staring at the camp below, scratching his chin with his hand, and thinking silently, “Where have I seen such a thing? What? Is it in life? Or in the Internet?”

“Anyway… I feel a terrible feeling!” (To be continued.)
