Almost everything that needs to be done has been arranged.

The next step is to return to the territory to arrange regular rotation of garrison.

Before that, Zong Shen still had to explore the griffin's nest.

After all, this nest occupies the entire top of the cliff, covering an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of square meters.

It is also a special building in the wild, there should be something worth exploring.

Moreover, in the griffin's nest, Zong Shen also saw mountains of gems of various colors.

These gems range from big to small and come in different colors.

Many of them should be magic gems with elemental magic power.

Because he was cruising on Yingjiang's back, and the light inside the nest was dim.

Therefore, he failed to examine them carefully. Compared with these ready-made gems, he was more concerned about the rumors about these gems, that is, griffons like to collect gems and will build their nests near gem mines.

The authenticity of the first piece of information has been proved on the spot. If the second piece of information is also true, then Zong Shenke will be prosperous.

"Are the rumors true?"

"Is there really a gem mine near here?"

(The valley 327 kilometers north of here contains gemstones that have not been mined on a large scale and have medium reserves.

There are some cave races living there that have not yet been discovered by humans.

There is the largest gryphon nest so far in the giant neutral city on the top of the mountain cliff called Hard Cliff Castle.

It is also known as the City of Griffins, and is the most important source of griffons for several major human kingdoms on the continent.

Within a thousand kilometers near Jinyabao, there are a total of twenty-nine small gem mines, thirteen medium-sized gem mines, five large-sized gem mines, and two extra-large gem mines)

“There really is a gem mine!”

Zong Shen was overjoyed and couldn't help shouting in a low voice.

Fortunately, these griffins don't understand complex human vocabulary.

As if sensing Zong Shen's joy, Yingjiang also let out a loud chirp.

Although it was beaten half to death by Zong Shen before it was tamed, and its loyalty after taming was only 60 points, it could still be considered surrendered.

This is a process of qualitative change. Even if it is still a little stubborn in its heart, it will gradually enter the character.

"Yingjiang, take me there!"

Zong Shen pointed at the place where the gems were piled in the griffin's nest.

Yingjiang stretched his neck and led Zong Shen over without hesitation.

Griffins have a hobby of collecting gems, which has no actual use or purpose. It is simply a natural hobby.

These guys don't love money as much as the money-grubbing pretty boys.

Including the gems accumulated in the lair, they were brought back from the gem mine out of boredom.

With their strong beaks, the griffons can easily peck open the rock and take out the gems hidden in the rock wall. It can be seen that there are still many stone skins attached to these gems.

In fact, they store gemstones in their nests, which is also of great benefit to them.

There are two types of gems in this world. The first is ordinary ornamental gems, which do not contain magical elements.

The second type is magic gems, which contain a large amount of elemental magic power.

It is a commonly used magic prop, often used to make magic items, jewelry equipment, and spellcasting items.

This is true for magic wands, magic wands, and spell books.

Even some rare gemstones are valuable and can be ground into gemstone powder.

These powders are even more suitable than mithril for engraving magic patterns.

According to different magic properties, the corresponding magic gems have different colors and appearances.

Basically equal to the colors displayed by those magical attributes.

For example, red often represents flames, khaki represents the earth element, golden yellow represents the gold element, azure blue represents the thunder element, and gray-purple represents arcana. Situations like this can be applied to almost every element.

Yingjiang obediently carried him to the pile of gems.

Zong Shen nimbly jumped up from its back and jumped to the ground.

"Crack..."

As soon as he landed, his feet stepped on a thick pile of bones.

It trampled and broke the bones that were unknown whether they were animals or humans.

Almost all the ground in the griffin's lair is covered with various skeletons.

I don’t know how long these bones have been laid here. Most of them have become loose. When you step on them, bone fragments are scattered everywhere.

This kind of skeletal carpet adds a bit of horror to the griffin's nest.

However, Zong Shen had no intention of paying attention to these. His attention was all on the pile of gems.

When he was walking forward quickly, Yingjiang had already fluttered his wings and arrived at the side of the pile of gems.

Treating this place as a sofa, he rubbed his huge body against the pile of gems, seemingly enjoying himself very much.

When it was leaning on the pile of gems, the light cyan wind magic gems mixed in it began to play a role, and the strong wind magic power surrounded Yingjiang like water mist.

Just now, in order to intimidate those second-brother griffons, Takachan did not hesitate to use the Wave Wind Blade Breath, which consumed a lot of its magic power, and now it can make up for the loss.

As for other types of gems, there is no reaction. After all, griffons are wind type monsters.

Zong Shen observed with great interest as he would not be attracted or associated with other departments.

He discovered that griffins' love of collecting gems seemed to be more than just a hobby.

The wind spirit gems among these gems should help improve the griffon's strength.

This is a long and subtle process, but all of this is just his guess.

Zong Shen came to the pile of gems, stretched out a hand and began to gently brush it.

He is using the lord's ability to store items to quickly explore the status of these gems.

There are a lot of gems in this pile, and the gems in it are of various colors, some big and some small.

It took Zong Shen a full fifteen or six minutes to screen them all.

Through careful statistics, he arrived at the final number.

There are a total of 379,272 gems here.

More than 70% of them are ordinary gemstones.

These gems do not have any magical properties, but they are not completely useless to Zong Shen.

At least among those hypocritical aboriginal nobles, such gems are still very valuable.

Especially those that are large, round in shape, and pure in color are excellent materials for processing into craft jewelry, and can be exchanged for valuable dinars or other equivalent materials in any giant city.

The role of dinar is actually very great. It is called the chosen currency and has unique abilities.

By adding some dinars during the smelting process of some metal materials, additional attribute improvements will be obtained.

But even in this world, where wealth has accumulated to a huge amount, few people will use dinars to forge it at will.

This currency was not issued by a certain force but only appeared after the end of the era.

At that time, overnight, the dinar became the standard currency circulated by all major powers.

To the aboriginal people, it is as it should be.

The only lord system that can achieve this is an omniscient and omnipotent lord system that dominates the entire domain.

These are also some miscellaneous studies that Zong Shen looked up when he had nothing to do.

In short, dinars represent wealth. As long as you have enough dinars, you can buy everything.

Population, supplies, materials, and even various armors and crossbows that are considered contraband by major kingdoms.

Back in the days before the birth of the Knights, if you wanted to build a strong set of full-body armor, you would need to gather the efforts of the entire village.

Things are very different now. As long as you have enough dinars, there will be a lot of black market merchants or goblin merchants who will try their best to get these prohibited items for you.

In this batch of gems, the number of ordinary gems reached 272,075.

The number of magic gems reached 107,197.

Ordinary gemstones are divided into many grades, including irregular and inferior ones full of impurities.

There are also top-grade ones as big as goose eggs, with beautiful color and flawless interior.

These all require further screening.

The same is true for magic gems, and there are even more types.

Arcane system, space system, time system, thunder system, wind system, water system, fire system...
