Chapter 208: Spoils of War

Just because they survived the floating stingray doesn't mean there won't be other flying creatures later.

Ji Lin drew a batch of wood from the territory and built a circle of wooden musket towers along the wooden wall.

Although the territory doesn't have much stone and iron ore, it is quite rich in wood resources. A world with suitable temperature, abundant water and fertile soil will never lack forestry resources.

Thirty wooden sentry towers can be used by thirty squads of musketeers.

These sentry towers, built with a large number of logs, use thick wood layers to block external projectiles, and the top of the sentry tower is a square garrison tower.

In this way, if there are hostile creatures coming later, each musketeer can be stationed in the tower to fight back safely.

No need to fight hard in the small space in the house.

After observing the whole process of Hackett decomposing the floating stingray and recording the key points of the work, the officers of each squad returned to their squads and began to teach the soldiers how to split these creatures.

Turn them into the territory's prey.

Two hundred and eighty floating rays, a considerable fortune.

The white bone blades cut from the floating rays have a slight arc and extend along their open soft wings.

If these bone blades are made into swords, they are quite good, lighter, and with a little polishing, they will be much sharper than the standard daggers and bayonets of the territory soldiers.

He has confirmed with the adventurers that the bone blades from large floating rays can be sold at a high price, and the larger the bone blades, the more expensive they are. These bone blades have good energy conduction and can be engraved with runes to make excellent rune swords.

After being ground into powder, the price of bone blades of all sizes is the same.

The adventurers were still excitedly thinking whether Ji Lin wanted them to take this batch of bone blades to the trading market on Dakong Island to sell them.

After getting the answer, Ji Lin turned around and left, and put the sorted large bone blades on the trading market, leaving a group of confused adventurers.

For Ji Lin, he did not have a particularly large demand for melee weapons, and the current bayonet dagger was enough. The short bone blades will be sent back to the territory and ground into powder to contribute to the territory's technological research and development, while the long bone blades and long spines with tail stings growing on the large floating rays will be sold at a high price in the market.

One hundred and fifty gold a pair, the same price for the long spine, no bargaining.

The current market is a pure seller's market.

It's possible that some lord wants to buy a few large bone blades and process them into rune swords.

He doesn't need to take a big risk and let his men follow a group of guys with questionable loyalty to their place to do a business that is not very profitable.

However, Ji Lin still wants to see what the so-called camps and trading markets of magic civilization look like. Is it really like what he saw in novels and Japanese comics, with adventurers wearing all kinds of clothes and stall owners shouting everywhere?

'Bone powder, the powder ground from the bones of magical creatures, can be used as a general conductor of spells and rune energy. ’

‘You can also use it as fertilizer for farming. The energy contained in it can promote the rapid growth of surrounding plants... That's quite a waste. ’

‘The resonance amplification chamber of the floating stone, which may be produced by the creatures living on the islands around the floating stone, can be used as a better substitute for ordinary floating stones. ’

‘Everything created by nature over tens of thousands of years is much more exquisite than human creations. It can directly produce a smaller floating field to reduce the impact of gravity on you. ’

Except for these two special materials, the skin of the floating ray can only be regarded as a natural waterproof and warm material with good performance, and the meat of the floating ray...

Ji Lin picked up a piece of meat that was sizzling on the fire and put it in his mouth. The meat was firm and tender. There was no ammonia smell as he imagined. The ray is a relative of the shark and excretes impurities in the body through the skin. The floating ray tastes like chicken, and is softer and more tender than chicken.

Served with minced ginger from the territory and garlic paste made by stir-frying chopped green onions and minced garlic from the market, it tastes great.

There was no chef in the expedition team, but all kinds of seasonings were prepared.

These floating rays living in the sky island only have similarities with rays in the sea in appearance, but their organs are closer to birds.

It's really interesting.

These meats cannot be stored for too long without refrigeration equipment. Some of the cut floating rays meat was covered with a layer of salt and sent back to the territory for the people to make jerky. The other part was used as food for the expedition team during these days.

Ji Lin missed the refrigerator very much, missing the refrigerator, a modern product that can preserve fresh food for a long time, and the dean's reply to him was: the student research team under his command is already trying their best to rush to learn the structure of the rune lamp, imitate the energy supply structure of the rune lamp, replace the light module with a cooling module, and add a large energy storage module.

This is not a difficult problem for highly skilled rune craftsmen, but the territory... can't be said to have just got a glimpse of the way, it can also be said to be a novice on the road.

Try to provide refrigeration equipment for the territory as soon as possible.

Ji Lin approved him and tried to install air conditioners in the office, canteen, school, and teahouse of the territory before summer, and also built a special cold storage for storing fresh food.

And the disposal rights of all small floating ray bone blades, spines and bones were handed over to the dean.

With the refrigeration device made by rune, the shelf life of food can be extended to 2-3 weeks. Instead of the risk of corruption in two or three days, it can greatly improve the food storage in the territory.

In the year before the crossing, Ji Lin also suffered a wave of high temperature weather, which left him with some shadows.

The soldiers sat on the ground in groups, set up wooden racks, let the flames lick and roast the floating stingray meat, and talked to each other.

A simple and delicious barbecue was used to relieve the pressure they were under. Many of them saw their comrades die for the first time.

They were all holding back a rage.

"Take some to the prisoners."

Ji Lin took a bite of the floating stingray meat and nodded, seeing that it was getting late.

He called an officer who had some impression of him, the officer in charge of supervising the adventurer captives, and asked him to take some roasted floating stingray meat and steamed rice in a wooden barrel to the adventurers.

After being untied, Hackett and several female spellcasters had a certain degree of freedom of movement with Ji Lin's tacit consent - they no longer had to be tied up like dumplings, but they could not leave the room where they were imprisoned.
