After more than a year, Arthur's figure became more and more rounded, and his long brown dress felt like it was cracking, and he wore a soft hat of the same color on his head, showing a familiar and uninhibited posture with Lucian.

In the Kingdom of Holm, no matter whether the weather is hot or cold, gentlemen must go out in formal attire, or suits, or double row long dresses, or hunting clothes, at most there is a difference in thickness and thinness of the material, and it is completely impossible to distinguish the season from their dress.

In this regard, Lucien secretly slandered that the coats of his and other magicians are magic robes, which can automatically adjust the temperature and humidity, and it doesn't matter what they wear, and if these guys who don't even have the official knight level go to places such as the Southern Gusta Empire and the Briana Kingdom, won't they faint in the summer?

"Welcome back, Evans. Arthur had a kind and warm smile on his face.

Through the cooperation of "Minerals & Harvest Company", the relationship between the two has become much closer.

Lucien smiled as he removed the black top hat from his head and prepared to hand it to Leo, "Arthur, I didn't expect you to be the first to visit me, and I didn't know anything about it before I informed my other friends." ”

"Evans, don't take your hat, His Royal Highness the Prince has invited you to a private party, we'll talk as we go. Hehe, in the past year or so, the promotion of several different models of Jin Ke La has been very smooth, and the income and profits are very high!" At the mention of this, Arthur couldn't help but rub his palms, showing the excitement in his heart.

Lucien stopped his movements and said suspiciously, "What is the private party of His Royal Highness the Prince?"

"It is a gathering of nobles organized by His Royal Highness the Prince, and the nobles in it have the most enlightened attitude towards magicians. Especially after seeing the success of Jin Ke La, and the predictable follow-up of the lucrative returns, they want to cooperate with the magicians in a similar way, so His Royal Highness the Prince would like to invite Evans to come over and get to know them, and they are also very curious about you. Arthur explained a few words.

Then, he seemed to feel that the relationship between the two was close due to the binding of interests, so he regarded Lucien as a magician who was attentive to his research and did not understand human relations to analyze the benefits for him in detail, "Evans, this is an excellent opportunity for you to expand your network. Many of them were big aristocrats. In Rentat. It has a long-standing presence in each county and has a lot of resources. Although you are a magician and have a bright future, there is no need to waste your time when solving many things. Once you have established a wide range of connections. One letter can solve a lot of problems. ”

"And they, the enlightened nobles, in addition to their own powerful knightly strength. More or less connected to certain high-level magicians will be of great help to you. ”

"Thank you so much for your kindness, let us go now. Lucien smiled and agreed.

Actually, after I came back. He became a disciple of the Storm Lord at once, and there was no need to go through the nobles to interact with high-level magicians, but Prince Patrick was Natasha's uncle, and he helped him a lot before and after the "Minerals and Harvest Company", and even took out his stake in the Holm Mining Federation as a reward for promoting environmental protection, which had to be considered.

Moreover, knowing the great nobles is indeed beneficial to his activities in the Kingdom of Holm, and in the future, he will have to rely on them for the popularization of some alchemy products, and he does not have so much time and energy to focus on similar things.

Besides, kidnapping the big nobles for a "win-win" situation and making the people accustomed to the convenient era of "magic" is a matter that effectively stabilizes the foundation of the Magic Council and slowly weakens the church, and Lucian, who has the spirit of "ownership" of the Magic Council, is very happy about this.

............

Woo~ The whistle sounded for a long time, and the sound of the clattering iron wheels colliding with the track became faster and faster, and the magic steam train moved forward with a rolling and unstoppable momentum.

"Even though I've been on it many times, I can't help but be shocked every time I see the magic steam train moving, it has shortened the distance between the two cities a lot, bringing incredible convenience, especially the cargo type magic steam train near the mine has reduced our previous transportation costs to an unimaginable extent. Evans, why doesn't the Magic Council work with us to build the lines of the Magic Steam Train?It's been a few years, and now it's less than ten!" Arthur Doyle looked at Lucian, saddened.

Lucien laughed and said, "With such an important 'resource', of course the Magic Council has to be in its own hands, and the royal family should think the same way." "You can't get around the king to lay a line in the kingdom of Holm, so the royal family has shared a lot of revenue in it, which has significantly increased its own financial resources.

From another point of view, lines and trains are indeed resources. Arthur snapped his lips, "It's a pity that His Majesty the King personally presides over this matter, otherwise there is still hope for the Mining Federation......" seemed to be a little complaining to the King.

However, he quickly restrained his expression, took out a brown paper envelope and handed it to Lucian: "Evans, due to the initial construction cost and the lack of promotion for more than a year, there was no annuity, and it was not until the last eight months, after the kingdom was promoted, that the income of Jin Kela's income increased explosively. It's your dividend, hehe, you're a magician, so your annuity from the shares is paid monthly. ”

Lucien took the envelope and opened it to see a small bright red notebook that was neither thick nor thin, with the double mark of magic and magic on it.

"Thirteen thousand quintals. ”

Considering that it has only been promoted for a long time, the average monthly dividend of more than 1,000 gold thalers is considered a very rich profit, if it is supported so strongly in the four countries, Lucian's expected monthly income of 10,000 gold talers will no longer be a dream, at that time, he is in the high-level magician stage, and there is no problem at all with daily experiments and potions.

It can be seen from this that high-level magicians are definitely piled up with money, and if they are not rich counts, they can't afford to support a high-level magician at all.

"Knowledge is wealth. Lucien sighed heartily.

Arthur said confidently: "When it is thoroughly promoted and stabilized, I am confident that Evans will get five or six thousand gold thalers a month." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly sighed: "It's a pity that this kind of huge profit makes many high-level magicians covetous, and the other three countries have high-level magicians who have developed new alchemical substances and cooperated with nobles to establish companies, otherwise the income will be doubled." ”

This situation was expected by Lucian, money, a lot of money, a lot of money is enough to drive people to burst out with powerful power, and sooner or later, there will be high-level magicians who bypass their alchemy schemes to synthesize a new type of "fertilizer", which is one of the driving forces for human progress.

Seeing Arthur looking at him with a little hope, Lucien smiled and comforted, "We started earlier than them, and that's the biggest advantage." "Now that they can pass the review of the Magic Council, there is definitely no place for these high-level magicians to find fault with their alchemy plans.

Development cannot be stopped, and it can promote the expansion of the industry and allow more farmers to get a bumper harvest, which can be regarded as a good thing.

............

Lentat, hexagram platform.

Pock Beefau, the coachman of the royal family of Holm, paced up and down the platform with great excitement, and from time to time looked at the sleek and sharp buildings around him, which were very different from the architectural style of the whole of Rentat, and had a mysterious and cold smell.

With the increase of the number of magical steam train lines, more and more platforms are being built, coupled with the existence of alchemy workshops in the suburbs and other places, the Magic Council began to slowly weaken the fog that shrouded the platform, trying to make more people have access to alchemy products, contact with magic, and eliminate the fear in their hearts.

Due to the entanglement of interests, the aristocracy adopted an attitude of neither encouragement nor opposition to this matter, and the isolated church had to watch it happen.

Unlike most ordinary people who are a little afraid of magicians, when he heard the legend of magicians since he was a child, he did not envy those heroes and priests, but wanted to become magical, powerful, and terrifying magicians. Unfortunately, until middle age, he did not have a talent for magic, and could only continue his career as a coachman.

In the past ten years in the royal family, he has more or less come into contact with some magicians, but none of them have made him so excited in his heart.

“...... I was simply stunned by the abundance of oats in the fields, and everywhere there was golden gold...... This is the first time that there is so much left after paying the lord's tax...... It's a bit expensive, but it's worth it, the children don't have to go hungry all the time!

These were the words that his mother had said to Pock when she had come from a village outside the city, and the excitement and joy impressed the farmer's son, and he burst out with heartfelt joy, all thanks to the noble magician who had invented the golden kera.

For the farmers at the bottom, being able to eat enough and not go hungry is the greatest luxury! If they can save another sum of money for their children to have a better future, it will be the blessing of the Lord!

"This is the real hero......" Pok said to himself inwardly as he straightened his costume as he saw the monster-like long train stop in front of him.

The door opened, and Polk saw Mr. Arthur Doyle walking slowly down with a handsome young man in a long black double-breasted gown, the monocle he wore in his left eye that gave him a bit more polite temperament.

"He's Mr. Evans? so young, yes, magicians have potions to keep them young!"

Polk walked a few steps briskly and greeted him: "Hello, I am Polke, the coachman sent by His Royal Highness the Prince, is it Mr. Evans?" Even if there is Mr. Doyle by his side, he must confirm that this is the rule of the royal family.

"Yes. Lucien bowed his head slightly, and then he was stunned to see Pork get down on his knees and kiss the corner of his shirt in the same position as he worshipped in the church.

"Thank you for giving hope to the farmer. ”

Polke's eyes twinkled with tears. (To be continued......)
