Chapter 039: The Middle Road

Vera then asked a few questions that were not salty or light, and Jiao Ming answered vaguely, and soon the servant who had gone to get the sample returned. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info in a glass bottle, it is a small half bottle of gray-black powder, slightly poured out, Jiao Ming twisted it with his fingers, it was slippery and slightly burned, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and the smell also matched the impression. You can't be wrong, nine out of ten are cement.

Jiao Ming asked about the price, and sure enough, it was sky-high, and there was no stock yet, these were just samples.

"This is used to build a house, right?" Jiao Ming asked strangely: "Such an expensive thing, those guys in the south can really afford it." ”

"This is just the price sold to the nobles, and the magicians used the clay to stone spells when they made their own magic towers. Vera explained.

At this time, the old man suddenly snored, spread out on the chair and fell asleep like this, Vera put a thin blanket on the old man, and gave Jiao Ming an apologetic look by the way, which was already a polite send-off.

Jiao Ming suddenly felt that Vera was shrewd but subtle, and a little beautiful, very feminine, she should be thirty years old, she should not be single, but she came to the crocodile collar with her father to seek treatment, and she should be a woman with a story.

The purpose of the visit was achieved, and Jiao Ming had no intention of exploring Vera's past, so he left after thanking him.

......

Next, Jiao Ming went to find Binglian again, and the matter of building a house still fell on her after all, and a large number of coolies and the manufacture of cement and masonry were inseparable from her.

Finding Binglian reading a book in the study, Jiao Ming first repeated the conversation between himself and Vera, and finally asked, "Am I showing my stuffing somewhere?"

Binglian pondered for a long time, and said with a slight smile: "It doesn't matter, it should be that Vera misunderstood something." ”

"How?"

"The muscles in your body are slack, not at all like you have been trained by our crocodile collar magic warriors, but you have the self-healing ability of the level of limb regeneration, then it means that you are born with the six rings. In this world, the inheritance of magical talents is very obvious, and since the beginning of the Magic Era, the recorded natural six-ring magical talents of the water system have only appeared in our crocodile lord family. So she probably misunderstood that you were the illegitimate son of my father, or even the illegitimate son of my grandfather's illegitimate son, and then made up a whole bunch of messy inheritance brawl dramas in her brain. The more Binglian spoke, the more smiling she became, and it was obvious that this misunderstanding also made her find it very interesting. "But if I hadn't known in my dream that you were from another world, I would have thought you were my brother or cousin. ”

After listening to Binglian's guess, Jiao Ming also felt that this was the case, and couldn't help laughing.

"You're still laughing, Vera's three questions obviously used some skill to set up your talent ring. Binglian turned to Jiao Ming: "When you meet southerners in the future, be vigilant, they are all very slippery." Fortunately, Vera didn't have any malice this time, otherwise I would have to count the money for someone who saw you being sold. ”

"I've already sold it to you, and now I'm not just counting you for money, I'm also making money for you. Then Jiao Ming and Binglian both laughed.

After laughing, Jiao Ming began to get to the point: "We want to build a house." ”

"Who is it for?" Ice Lotus also entered the lord heir mode and began a serious discussion.

"Cattle and coolies. Jiao Ming explained: "The centralized feeding of livestock will bring many problems, the most important of which is to prevent the plague, and the most effective way to improve the living environment of livestock is to improve the living environment of the animals. As for the coolies, we will have to buy a large number of slaves for a long time to come, so it is necessary to prepare a place to live in advance. ”

Binglian nodded, and preliminarily agreed to the plan to build the house: "What are you going to do in terms of manpower and materials? When we built the castle, our family went into battle together, plus the free help of a traveling high-ring mage. Building a house for livestock and coolies convinces me, but it doesn't convince anyone else. ”

"I have a way to do this, but I still need to do a magic experiment to verify something. ”

Hearing about the magic experiment, Binglian also became interested: "Let's talk about what kind of magic experiment it is." ”

"Let's start with the adhesive. You've seen the houses in my hometown in Dream Space, and they're all built with something called cement as a binder. And I just saw a sample at Vera, and nine out of ten of your adhesives are cement. Jiao Ming's eyes lit up, and seeing that Binglian hadn't understood what he meant, he prompted: "There is no magic in our world. ”

Binglian didn't realize anything at first, until she heard the last sentence, her eyes lit up, and then she stood up excitedly, her face gradually turned red, and she walked back and forth in the study, and said after a while: "You mean that this potion can be made without magic? No, even other magic potions can be used, you once asked me about metals and coal, which means that metals do not have to come from alchemy." It's simply ...... I can't imagine it. ”

"So we're going to do a magic experiment to verify it. Jiao Ming then added: "Don't be too happy, whether it is cement or metal in our hometown, it seems to me that it is more difficult than magic." ”

"That's different. Binglian paced to Jiao Ming's wheelchair, pressed Jiao Ming's shoulders with both hands, and stared at Jiao Ming's eyes: "If an ordinary person can make these things, of course slaves can, and do you know how cheap slaves are on this continent?"

It was the first time for Jiao Ming to look at a girl like this, what cement, what magic was quickly forgotten, but he felt that his heart was beating faster, blood was gushing up, and the reflection of himself in Binglian's eyes was so clear. I wanted to turn my head away and not look at the ice lotus, but my eyes seemed to be attracted by the black hole, and I couldn't do without the pretty face of the ice lotus.

After a few seconds of stalemate, Binglian finally reacted, and jumped back to her seat like a frightened bunny. "Ahem...... Hmm, where did you just go?"

"That's cheap. Jiao Ming was also a little embarrassed, thinking back to what he had just said, it was just a blur.

"Magic experiment!" Bing Lian grabbed the root of everything, clapped her hands, and said eagerly and excitedly: "Talk about magic experiments." ”

Jiao Ming quickly calmed down and began to narrate: "I only know a rough idea about the method of making cement in my hometown, which can be summed up in three words: burn stones!"

"It's so simple?" Bing Lian looked completely incredulous when she heard these three words.

"The principle is simple, but the practice is complicated. We don't have coal, so heating is a problem. We don't have a special container, so we can only build an earthen kiln, so heat preservation is also a problem. In short, it is almost impossible to completely replicate my hometown. ”

"Then what do you mean?" Bing Lian naturally understood that if it was really a dead end, Jiao Ming would not say so much with excitement on his face.

Jiao Ming first laughed twice, then spread his hands and said, "The road on the left is a high-ring magician, but we don't have a high-ring magician." The road on the right is a modern factory, but we don't have professional equipment. As he spoke, he clasped his hands together and said, "Then there must be a path in the middle, which can be walked by a simple equipment and a magician with a medium ring number!"

"I can't wait to start this magic experiment. Bing Lian couldn't help clapping her hands and was completely convinced. "You're better than I thought!"
