Chapter 134: Chapter 112: Sharing the Spoils and the Terrifying Surge in Income (Part 2) "Go check it out and find another copper mine!"


"Also confirm this place!"


Tono quickly spoke, issuing one command after another.


Soon, two groups swiftly split apart again.


A moment later, the personnel who went to investigate the agate returned.


Compared to the first location, the second one was undoubtedly more difficult to explore. This place hadn’t been fully developed yet, and even after careful inspection, it’s estimated that about four or five hundred pieces a year could be produced.


But this is already enough to delight people.


Four or five hundred pieces, that’s at least five or six hundred Gold Coins.


Don’t underestimate just five or six hundred Gold Coins, even if it’s divided among three people, each person only gets a little over a hundred Gold Coins, but this is a recurring income, over a hundred a year, nearly two hundred, and over ten years that’s nearly two thousand. That’s already considerable.


Moreover, as long as they can hold on to it, it’s not just a matter of ten years; twenty years, a hundred years, it could even become a steady income for the entire family.


The agate is inexhaustible and can continuously produce.


The three of them were visibly pleased.


And as the prospecting personnel returned, their joy grew even stronger.


The scale of that small copper mine was already infinitely close to that of a medium-sized copper mine.


The annual income, even just from selling ore, could be at least five hundred Gold Coins.


At this moment, even without considering anything else, just the current income statistics show that the first agate site can bring at least twelve hundred Gold Coins annually, the second site at least five or six hundred Gold Coins, the first copper mine three or four hundred Gold Coins a year, the second copper mine five hundred Gold Coins, these values exceed two thousand Gold Coins, possibly reaching two thousand two or even up to two thousand four hundred Gold Coins.


If confirmed to be a large iron ore deposit, its value may be no less than three thousand Gold Coins.


Three thousand Gold Coins, indeed, even if divided among three people, only receiving a thousand each is still a significant income.


Moreover, this is without considering anything else.


Tono and Barbus knew that Thor had a group of goblins.


If the iron ore and copper ore are forged into weapons, the income is likely much higher than three thousand Gold Coins.


Five thousand, eight thousand.


Perhaps even more.


Just imagining such a result made the breaths of the two of them grow heavier.


Thor’s eyes sparkled, a thought involuntarily forming in his mind.


However, as he carefully considered the thought emerging from his heart.


At this moment, Tono and Barbus couldn’t help but look at Thor, even licking their lips subconsciously.


"Thor, how many Black Iron Armor and Brass Armor can you produce per month?"


Tono spoke, even he didn’t notice the tremor in his voice.


His words instantly made Barbus nervous.


This was a matter of how much their income could really reach.


"Currently, I should be able to produce three hundred sets of Black Iron Armor, three sets of Silver Armor in a month. As for Brass Armor, if forged, twenty sets a month is no problem!"


Thor returned his thoughts, pondered for a moment before answering.


In a few months, the goblins’ production had stabilized at the current level.


These numbers were already a significant increase compared to the initial production.


"So many?"


"You can really forge Silver Armor?"


Listening to Thor’s words, both Tono and Barbus instinctively exclaimed, surprise showing in their expressions.


From the moment they learned Thor had a group of goblins, they had considered Thor’s production capacity.


But never did they expect such quantities.


Moreover, he could even forge Silver Armor.


Silver Armor, unlike Black Iron and Brass Armor, is truly extraordinary.


The value is incomparable.


A single Silver Armor, even at regular prices, often reaches around three hundred Gold Coins, now even exceeding five hundred Gold Coins.


Conversely, the price of Black Iron Armor is just around fifty Silver Coins, Brass Armor about ten Gold Coins, value-wise, they cannot be compared.


Moreover, the large iron ore produces Secret Silver Iron, which means their Secret Silver Iron doesn’t need to be sold; it can be directly forged into Silver Armor.


Whether for sale or personal use, it’s undoubtedly the best choice.


Using them personally would undoubtedly enhance the territory further.


For sale, a piece exceeds five hundred Gold Coins in value, with Secret Silver Iron alone holding thousands of Gold Coins in value.


The entire large iron ore deposit’s value was changing once again.


At this moment, the two were genuinely excited.


Even their faces showed a touch of redness.


"Good, good!"


"Thor, my brother, this is indeed a pleasant surprise!"


Tono couldn’t help but speak.


"Lord Thor!"


Barbus also expressed excitement.


"Brother, Lord Barbus, don’t get too excited. Although the current production can reach these levels, I also need to forge some weapons. I can only spare half, I can assist with forging one Silver Armor, a hundred fifty Black Iron Armor, and ten Brass Armor each month!"


Thor remained quite calm, sighing lightly and shaking his head.


As he said, his current production could reach such numbers, but he also had his own mines, and he couldn’t entirely allocate the production to Tono and Barbus, even if some of it was his own.


"No problem!"


"It’s fine, Lord Thor, even half is enough!"


Barbus quickly spoke, smiling.


Tono appeared somewhat surprised, yet slightly understanding.


Clearly, he guessed some things.


Though he had some guesses, Tono said nothing.


His gaze towards Thor changed slightly once more.


Facing their reactions.


Thor hesitated briefly before speaking earnestly.


"Brother, Lord Barbus, compared to this, I actually have another idea, which might be better."


Upon hearing those words.


Tono and Barbus were instantly intrigued.


"Oh, Thor, what’s your idea?"


Tono asked curiously.


"Indeed, Lord Thor, please tell."


Barbus also nodded and spoke.


"It’s like this, the Western region of the Northern Province, compared to the East and the North is undoubtedly more prosperous. Now with turmoil, the demand for armor and weapons is likely increasing. Silver Armor probably isn’t just about the price now."


Thor spoke slowly, eyes showing seriousness.


"Indeed, though Silver Armor still costs five hundred Gold Coins each, it’s genuinely very difficult to buy now, even Loren City hasn’t seen one in months."


Barbus said with a sigh.


Tono also nodded, although his eyes showed some contemplation.


"Thor, what do you mean?"


After a pause, Tono asked, his gaze fixed on Thor.


"Brother, Lord Barbus, I feel that instead of keeping them, it’s better to sell them and open up the market."


"I believe that with Silver Armor, most Lords in the West would be willing to trade with us!"


The two exchanged glances again, while Thor took a deep breath and shared the idea that had just formed in his mind.
