Chapter 493: Domain of Equalization: A Veteran of Flowers and a Pharmacist

This ability could alleviate the contradiction between quantity and quality, so there was no reason not to take it.
As for the ” Casanova “…
Matthew felt that it was better to leave it to those who needed it!
Other than that.
The Equalization Domain also gave Matthew a permanent status.
[Master of Gym: Your balance +10 (Climbing, jumping, running, swimming, gymnastics, horseback riding, etc. authentication check +3)]
Not a bad ability.
At the very least, Matthew would be able to protect himself better when riding Pegasus and Nightmare in the future.
“Speaking of which, I still have to buy two good saddles. The Pegasus is already a very stable mount, but it’s still a little uncomfortable.
‘ When the Oak Chamber of Commerce receives a portion of its funds, I’ll go to Old Fallon and ask for two sets of saddles. At the same time, I’ll settle Soldier and Renesme’s accounts.”
Matthew stretched and left the mushroom garden.
Although the Territory Pact was not completely successful, the two ritual arenas were no longer as tense as before.
This could be clearly sensed by Matthew standing at the entrance of the cemetery at the intersection of the ritual field. He slowly walked down the stone stairs at the entrance.
Compared to before.
With the support of [Master of Gym].
He walked more steadily.
However, this temporary stone staircase was still a little too steep.
“It would be nice if we could have an elevator here, like the Cauldron House, that would take us from the cemetery to the canopy of the World Tree.” Matthew thought as he shook his head.
He had asked the tower genie 177 about the price of the magic elevator.
That was a number he could not bear.
“In the end, I still lack money.”
Matthew suddenly began to wonder when the next batch of visiting mages from the Alliance would arrive!
At this moment.
He suddenly noticed Sinwak, who was sleeping soundly beside the stone stairs.
Ever since the completion of the cemetery.
The Troll had nothing else to do other than digging Matthew’s tombstone.
He was living better than anywhere else.
Sleeping every day.
There was even vegetarian food when he was hungry.
This made Matthew a little worried about his health.
“Should I arrange some exercise for him?”
For example.
Troll-powered elevator?
This thought had just appeared in Matthew’s mind.
A human suddenly shouted in the underground city outside the cemetery,
“Hey, Matthew, I’ve finally waited for you to arrive. I lost the stone you gave me. Uh, can you let me in?
“I didn’t dare to barge in, afraid that those zombies would bite me.”
Matthew glanced at him and immediately opened the cemetery.
The person was wearing a mining suit, and there was a white crystal spotlight on his forehead. His face was very clean.
He was an official sent by Rheagar to preside over the development of the sulfur mine- He had met Matthew several times before-
His name was Patton, the second son of Ms. Liz and the younger brother of the garrison captain, Blake. He used to be a tax officer in the north of the town. Later, he had a conflict with the villagers because of a strange sexually transmitted disease. He finally rested at home and had been idle until now.
Recently, his health had improved greatly, and it just so happened that the mining of sulfur mines needed trustworthy manpower.
Hence, Rheagar asked him to come over and help Matthew take care of this matter.
Regarding the development of the sulfur mine, the project had already reached the implementation stage.
On a specific level, in addition to sending Patton to take charge of the overall situation, the officials of Rolling Stone Town also recruited more than a dozen workers in the name of the City Hall.
On Matthew’s side, he sent out more than 40 zombies to guard and patrol.
Zombies were very good at this kind of work, but they could not count on sorting, transporting, or even refining ores.
The current process was for the eight workers assigned to the mine to sort the sulfur ores into vehicles.
Then, Patton escorted these cars through the underground passage to a factory left behind in the Gold Digger Basin.
The remaining workers were also arranged there to complete the initial extraction of the sulfur ore and further refining.
The extraction of sulfur ore was not complicated. In addition, the purity of the sulfur ore that Matthew had discovered was extremely high. It only needed simple extraction, so there were not many difficulties in the equipment and process.
After the sulfur was produced, it would eventually be transported in three directions.
The first was Matthew’s cemetery. Sulfur was a necessary material for the production of blazing glue and Molotov Cocktails.
However, the arsonists were not very enthusiastic about making related props, and the demand for sulfur was small, so there was still a lot of redundant resources.
The remaining two transportation routes were Rheagar’s Rolling Stone Trade Union and Matthew’s Oak Trade Union.
The former was in charge of the sales in the north.
The latter was responsible for selling the sulfur to the south.
In general.
Rheagar was still very loyal.
During this process, he provided his connections and effort. He wasn’t sure about the final profit after deducting the operation and labour costs of the sulfur mine.
He still only asked for 10%.
This number was very low.
Normally speaking, all the wealth in the territory belonged to the lord. Even if others discovered any minerals and developed them together with the lord, the lord would naturally have ownership of the minerals.
Currently, the South was divided into three parts.
It was very normal for the lord to get 70% of the profits.
But Rheagar was different.
Not only was he generous to Matthew, but he also treated everyone equally.
More than ten years ago, when the mining industry in the Gold Digger Basin was booming, the conditions that Rheaga gave to the mine owners were that he only wanted 20% to 30% of the profits.
Because of this, Rolling Stone Town became too prosperous during that period of time. The original name of this land was also forgotten by people. Instead, it was replaced by the Gold Digger Basin, which had a more historical background.
“How’s the factory? Has the first batch of goods come out? Do you need me to send more undead to maintain order?”
Matthew asked.
Little Patton waved his hand.
“Everything is fine. The first batch of goods will be delivered in two days. The workers were afraid of the undead at first, but under my deliberate arrangements, they now trust your zombies.” “Deliberate arrangement?”
Matthew looked at Little Patton suspiciously.
The latter smiled.
“I found two wild boars. I wanted to scare them, but before I could get close, they were chased away by your undead.
“In this way, the workers will have a certain level of trust in the undead.”
Matthew frowned slightly. Although Little Patton’s plan was effective, he felt that it might also aggravate the panic of the workers.
Hence, he reminded,
“If you want to use this method next time, tell me in advance.”
Little Patton shrugged.
“Alright, you’re the boss. I’ll listen to you.
“I came to see you about the mine.
“According to the workers who stayed in the mine, they had clearly finished picking up the sulfur ore in the area.
“The next morning, in the same place, similar amounts of ores would appear, or even more.
“Although this phenomenon is a good thing for us, the workers always felt that something was wrong.
“I tried to calm them down, but last night, there was a whining sound coming from the mine, like the friction of wind blowing through a hole.
“This morning, a worker came to me and said that he didn’t want to work anymore, mainly because he was a little scared.
“I think I still have to report this matter to you.
“After all, you were the one who found the mine. Do you know what happened?”
Matthew muttered,
” I think I know what’s going on. How about this? I’ll go to the mine myself tonight and see if I can solve the problem from the root.”
