"But Your Highness......," Master Thomas swallowed, "these things were lost hundreds of years ago." ”

"How many hundred years ago?" Bai Xuan let go of the master, "Six hundred years ago, the continental war?"

"It seems that you know, that's exactly the case, the continental war has affected all races and countries, and it has lasted for twenty years, not only to resist foreign invasions, but also to civil wars, and the elites of various races have fallen countless times, losing too many things, including magic energy machinery. Master Thomas sighed, "In fact, the development of various industries in the continent, magic, alchemy, and the use of magic energy, has always been catching up with the footsteps of its predecessors, and it has not recovered to the level of six hundred years ago. ”

This is really disappointing, the continental war 600 years ago was mainly to resist foreign invasion, but this so-called foreign race is vague in the historical records, it seems to have been deliberately concealed, only some legends that do not know the truth or falsehood have been circulated to this day.

The legendary alien race is an extraterritorial race, that is, from outside the continent.

Bai Xuan's heart suddenly tightened for no reason, maybe the people of the mainland had long forgotten the word "extraterritorial", but as an outsider, he was extremely sensitive.

I wonder if this extraterritoriality refers to another continent, or if it has some other meaning?

"That's all there is to it for an elk, including flesh and blood that contains magical powers, oh yes, this piece of deerskin, the small piece on the head of a wild-horned elk, is extremely tough, suitable for sewing to important parts of leather armor, and has first-class protection. The master handed the deerskin to Bai Xuan, who took it and looked at it, and handed it to Kares.

"Your Highness, what are you going to do with these materials? Paul was very attentive, "It can also be converted into gold coins and used at the highest price in the market." ”

"No gold is needed. Bai Xuan pondered for a moment, "Let's replace it all with high-quality magic crystal ore." ”

"Huh?" Paul paused, "no problem, then convert it all into magic crystal ore." ”

It can be converted into anything, but when it is converted into magic crystal ore, I really don't know what His Highness wants to do? Not only Paul was puzzled, but everyone else was also surprised.

Thinking that it might not be enough, Bai Xuan pointed to the two demon cores on the table again: "Add these two." ”

"Okay, Your Highness, I'll send it to your house later, and you're staying at the inn?"

"Send it to the castle by the river, where Your Highness will live in the future. Dong Lei said suddenly.

"What kind of place is that?" Bai Xuan turned his head and asked Dong Lei, it was really not convenient for him to live in the post station.

"My family's property, which was built before I came here, is just right for His Highness to live in. ”

Bai Xuan couldn't help but look at the fat man again, before the people arrived, the castle began to be built, and the Hofer family's plans were not small, and their vision was very far-sighted.

"What about you?"

"The castle can accommodate a lot of people and it can be expanded. The fat man smiled.

"Then it's decided. "Bai Xuan is also not polite, if the fiefdom is done later, he can buy the castle and pay the winter thunder money.

"Then master, what other magical energy machines have been handed down and can be used?" Bai Xuan turned to Thomas again.

"It's rare, there are a few little things, like a thread drill that requires less magic energy, a hard stone or even metal object that can be punched with the help of enchantment skills, and a steam hammer commonly used in forging - oh, this one doesn't seem to count as a magic machine, it doesn't use magic energy. ”

"Steam forging hammer?" Bai Xuan almost didn't believe his ears, there was already a steam engine in this world, how could he have no memory at all?

"Yes, Your Highness, this thing is very bulky, the principle is to boil the water to produce the steam pressure to drive, except for the forging is almost useless to use, because it is too cumbersome and cumbersome, most people don't know that there is such a thing, you haven't heard of it is normal. Thomas said.

"Oooh. Bai Xuan was in a trance, "This is really a ...... Good news. ”

He almost thought that someone had traveled over to invent before he did, but fortunately it didn't seem to be the case.

"It's just an accidental invention by the master smith Goode a hundred years ago, and to be honest, it's too cumbersome, so it's of limited use. ”

It turned out that this was the case, Bai Xuan fell into deep thought, this is indeed good news, with this foundation, he can promote the development of some things faster, such as technology.

"What does Your Highness think?" Master Thomas could see that Bai Xuan was wandering.

"Water is a very cheap thing, and since it can be powered by this steam, it should be developed to replace some work that relies on human or animal power. Bai Xuan said, "Of course, the premise is to solve the problem of being too cumbersome. ”

"Yes, Your Highness, but we have magical energy, so we can rely on it for important work, which is more efficient and easy to control. Thomas lamented, "Magic machines are the better choice, but unfortunately, progress is too slow." ”

Bai Xuanleng paused for a moment, and found that he had fallen into the inherent thinking of modern people again, yes, since there is a more efficient energy source such as magic energy, why do you still use a steam engine?

There is also no need for an internal combustion engine, and all energy conversion processes are not necessary, just using magic energy.

Bai Xuan suddenly felt that magic energy was a bit like electricity, but it might be more advanced.

It was as if he saw a bright avenue leading to the sky.

For his predecessor with this body, Bai Xuan suddenly felt dissatisfied, but you are also a prince, you can't just be vindictive, and magic can't work, it's really ...... With a little magical talent, he wouldn't be ignorant of magical powers.

"It will continue to evolve in the future. Bai Xuan picked up the walnut-like elk magic core, "I promise." ”

The steam engine can also be developed and utilized, and can be used in many fields, and magic energy is not always as easy to obtain as water.

"Carres, Dou Qi cultivation, why can't ordinary people carry it out?"

"Yes, Your Highness, the general understanding of the warriors for Dou Qi is that it is a kind of body energy obtained through cultivation, and the body is the storage container for this energy, the more powerful the samurai, the greater the capacity, and the higher the upper limit of the use of Dou Qi, which is the foundation. ”

Karles paused for a moment, seeing that there was no displeasure on Bai Xuan's face, and continued: "Ordinary people, in fact, are not limited to ordinary people, if the body is not suitable to be a container by nature, then we can't cultivate Dou Qi, because we can't store it, we can't choose this." ”

"Where's the storage?"

"Once the Dou Qi is cultivated to the level of a Silver Warrior, you can feel the existence of the Dou Qi, although it is not an entity, you can feel it, it is in the lower abdomen. ”

"Damn! I know, Dantian. ”

Bai Xuan couldn't help but scold, this is really unscientific, for a while, words such as Jiuyang Divine Skill and Qiankun Great Shift kept popping out of his mind, and then look at the scene of the Western Middle Ages in front of him, it is not an ordinary smorgasbord of magic.

"What field?" Kareth didn't understand.

"It's nothing ......" Bai Xuan waved his hand, giving up the illusion of fighting qi cultivation, isn't it internal strength, don't do it.

The serum is just as powerful.

"Wow!"

Outside, there was a sudden shout from the trading floor, followed by a commotion.

"What's going on?"

Everyone looked outside, and saw one of Paul's men rushing in, his face flushed and shouting at a high pitch.

"Boss, something is wrong!"
