The flames crackled, and in the settlement where it was already dark, Lu En was guarding next to the workshop, not pointing a finger, just watching the monster hybrids operate the blast furnace and extract crude molten iron from the raw iron ore, which was only the first process, and it would be purified later.

"Sir! How did we do! A monster hybrid operating the blast furnace shouted to Lu En, who had a cow-like head and a muscular build, taller than Lu En.

"Well done! Keep up the good work! If you become a craftsman, I will give you a raise! Lu En waved his hand and responded to that side.

The monster hybrids cheered, and then went back to their labor.

No one doubted this gentleman's statement, because he had already proved his integrity with practical actions, and there was nothing unfulfilled in all his promises, besides...... Everything around here was brought by him.

Everyday food, food that I couldn't even think of before, and even meat every day, it's hard to imagine how much it costs to have so much food, but it's all provided for free.

The wages were no less than those of the human workshops in Larante, and even more, so that they were paid their fair wages for the first time, and later even books!

It was a book, and especially, it was written ...... Knowledge about smelting.

Some of the monster hybrids didn't understand what it meant, but others were more intelligent and trembling with excitement!

This shows that this gentleman wants them to become craftsmen! A craftsman who has the ability to find work wherever he goes, who was called by the former workshops as coolies, and who were not allowed to touch anything that involved knowledge and skill.

But here, they seem to be really...... You can become a craftsman, although you are still only an apprentice and do not understand any principles, but as long as you try your best to learn, they will definitely become a craftsman.

Then you can get out of the way you used to live...... You can pass on your skills to your children, or recruit apprentices, and you will no longer be discriminated against, and you will no longer be inferior.

Almost all the monster hybrids who took the initiative to work in the workshop had a lot of energy in their hearts, and they all had such a goal.

However, such people are a minority after all, and there are many who have the mentality of eating and waiting for death, but Lu En believes that just like the group of prostitutes who were completely unwilling to cooperate at the beginning, as long as time goes by and their own knowledge is popularized, they will realize this sooner or later.

Looking at these, Lu En's restless mind calmed down somewhat.

He was a little confused about who he was, was it Lu En? Or is it the unlucky old devil? Or is it ...... A true demon king that only exists in the mouths of Kara and Livia?

Although he was completely sure that he was Lu En, how could he explain the closeness to Livia and the non-contradiction to the monsters?

"Sir? You look like you're a little upset? Be...... Was it because of the woman last night? At this time, Bai suddenly walked up to Lu En, asked him a little nervously, and stammered a little.

She was not nervous about Lu En, but nervous about herself, since she learned that the gentleman in front of her was the legendary Demon King, every time she talked to him, Bai had to spend a lot of effort to muster up her courage.

"Not happy? No~. Bai's words woke Lu En from his contemplation, and he smiled softly and couldn't help but touch his white hair.

The hair is very soft, and the monster girl is generally very cute, especially when she touches it, Bai will subconsciously squint, revealing a comfortable look.

He began to understand a little bit why humans called the moon wolf the moon dog.

It's kind of like a puppy.

"Really? But you look ......" Bai was a little worried, and he stopped talking.

"That's not what I'm worried about, I'm worried about your side now, how about it? Are you on the right track? How's it going? How's that new clerk doing? Lu En changed the subject, and the dialogue asked about the settlement.

As soon as she said this, Bai immediately came to her senses, she first saluted Lu En, and then ran back quickly, took out a large pile of books from her new home, and ran over again.

"Sir, here is the most recent ledger and some records I have made of the camp! Mr. Kesto also helped me a lot, he taught me a lot of words, although I have to pay for tuition, I think it's worth it! Because you said, sir, knowledge is priceless. Bai said as he handed the record he had made to Lu En as if he were offering a treasure.

Lu En took the so-called ledgers and records and said, "Let me see." ”

He opened the ledger and found that Bai had written down all the money and expenditures he had given, hundreds of gold coins, the ins and outs of each one, how many blast furnaces had been built, how much steel had been produced, how many people had been injured, how much food had been spent on the day, those who bought books, those who bought paper, and so on.

Although the handwriting is crooked, he shows extraordinary talent, and not everyone can be so sensitive to money.

But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with it, Bai used to ask about the bag, in order to be able to make more money to support her sister, Larante remembers all the big and small things up and down, even the name of each shop, and every alley is also well understood, and now she can remember the name of everyone in the settlement, I wonder if she really has a talent in this area.

In addition, the development record of the camp is also very detailed, it can almost be said that it is writing a diary for the camp, in and out, what is more, what is missing, everything is recorded in an orderly manner.

However, some words are crooked, and some words are very beautiful.

"This is what you said the clerk wrote?" Lu En asked.

"Yes! Mr. Caesto writes beautifully, and many nobles have to ask him to help ghostwrite! Bai said happily.

"Then next time I want to meet this person, there are not many people willing to come to work in this place at this time." Lu En chatted and relaxed.

"Hmmm! And, sir—" Bai continued to circle around Lu En, trying to tell him everything he had recently learned.

Lu En also smiled and watched the little girl's performance, and completely calmed down.

Looking at Shiro, he temporarily gave up thinking about who he was.

Anyway, no matter what, he's who he is.

————————

Time advanced steadily, and just one day later, a large wave of troops had gathered outside the city of Larante.

The army looked solemn and lined up, and under the leadership of Riston, the coalition army slowly passed outside the city of Larante, and did not enter the city, but came to a clearing on the edge of the Blue River, and began to set up camp and make fires.

A small group of logistics officers went out alone and, together with Riston, entered the city of Larante.
