Sitting in the position of the city lord, Rocky thought for a long time, but no matter what he thought, he couldn't think of a suitable way.

Time is running out.

It was August, and winter was coming in a few months, and he would not be able to make any money in such a short time! And without money, the money for the sale of grain might not be enough, and then the inhabitants of the city would suffer.

What should I do......

After half a day, Rocky could only sigh helplessly, and then looked at Erin: "Erin, please let Your Excellency Voss come forward to discuss this matter with the Azure Chamber of Commerce." ”

"Okay, I'll tell Grandpa. ”

Nodding, Erin was not surprised by this request, after all, she was the financial officer of Thunder Eagle City, and she knew the city's finances best, and she knew very well that Rocky could probably only think of this kind of painless solution.

It's a pity that this approach won't have any effect, the Azure Chamber of Commerce may not be a big chamber of commerce that dominates one side, but the scale is not small, this level of chamber of commerce only looks at interests and doesn't talk about human feelings, even if it wants to talk about it, it won't tell Lei Ying City, so even if her grandfather comes forward, it won't be very useful.

This couldn't help but disappoint Erin, who thought that Rocky could think of something practical to do.

But just then, Rocky spoke again:

"Also, can you get in touch with a merchant who specializes in philosopher's stones?"

"Philosopher's Stone?"

Rocky's words made Erin frown, but nodded: "Yes, I will contact as soon as possible, but you want to ......"

"I had a bit of luck last time I went to land, and I picked up some things, including a few medium-sized magic stones that should buy some money, so I plan to sell them all, which will somewhat ease the financial pressure on the city. ”

Rocky understood what Erin wanted to ask, so he gave the answer without waiting for her to finish her sentence.

And this answer is the only way he can think of now.

There is actually only one biggest problem faced by Thunder Eagle City, and that is the lack of money!

This problem cannot be solved in a day or two, and it is even more unrealistic to want Rocky to think of a solution now, but if it is just a solution to the urgent need, he feels that he can still do it.

Let's say sell something.

The last time he went to the institute, Rocky not only got research notes on magical runes, but also scavenged a bunch of things from the research room, many of which he could use, but some of which he could sell, such as the Philosopher's Stone.

He had found a lot of magic stones in the research room, and these magic stones contained sufficient magical energy, including several medium-sized magic stones.

Medium-sized magic stones are generally not used to make equipment due to their large size, but they can be used to provide magic energy for floating ships, and can also be embedded in magic cannons, so they are very valuable and can be worth a lot of money if they are sold.

With this money, it can more or less alleviate the financial pressure on Thunder Eagle City.

With time so short, Rocky can only rely on this method to help Thunderhawk City get through the difficulties.

After he finished speaking, Erin on the other side nodded slightly and did not continue to ask.

It's just that in Erin's heart, she was a little surprised by these words.

She really didn't expect Rocky to hide so many private goods.

What she didn't expect was that in order for the residents of Thunder Eagle City to survive the winter, Rocky was willing to sell his own things, which really made her look a little different.

Because as far as Erin knows, not every city lord of Sky City loves the people like a son, in fact, the vast majority of city lords don't care much about the lives of the residents, or completely regard the residents as their own private property, and want these city lords to sell their things for the residents of the city, which is simply impossible.

But Rocky did it, and the method he came up with may not be very clever, but it still made Erin impress him.

Obviously, Rocky's actions left a good impression on Erin's mind, so she decided to seriously discuss it with her grandfather to see if she could make the Teal Chamber of Commerce accommodating in the price of yarn and grain.

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

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

It was about noon when Irene left the Lord's Mansion, and when she was gone, Rocky returned to his room, and shortly thereafter, the empty room he had ordered to prepare was ready.

After a look at the cleaned room, Rocky was satisfied, and then he sent everyone away, and then moved all the equipment looted in the institute into the room, and after some arrangement, the originally empty room was turned into a well-equipped research room.

When everything was set up, he took out his research notes.

"Looks like we're going to have to hurry......"

Holding the research notes in his hand, he couldn't help but feel the urgency of time.

The previous conversation with Erin not only let him know that Thunder Eagle City was facing a big problem, but also realized that his time was running out.

Thunder Eagle City's weakness made it impossible for him to take his time at all, he had to learn the magic runes as soon as possible, and make the magic runes valuable as soon as possible, otherwise even if he could wait, Thunder Eagle City wouldn't be able to wait!

"Hoo ......"

Standing in front of a table, Rocky flipped through his research notes to the place where the runes were drawn, and looked at them over and over again.

As the lowest level of magic runes, first-level runes only need a first-level mage to draw, but this is only a requirement for magical power, but in terms of technology, even first-level runes require superb skills to be successfully drawn.

And what Rocky needs to master is this technique.

Of course, in order to successfully draw a first-level rune, it is not enough to just memorize the methods in the study notes, and it must be done through a lot of practice.

So shortly after, there was a knock on the door, and Lilia was in the research room with a large suitcase.

"This is the equipment you want. ”

Placing the large box on the ground, Lilia approached Rocky and found that he was looking intently at his research notes, so she didn't bother and stood silently.

It was only after a few minutes that Rocky withdrew his attention from his research notes and turned to look at Lilia.

"Good work. ”

"It's okay, you've learned all the magic runes?"

Looking at the research notes that had been set aside, Lilia looked curious.

"How can it be so fast, I have just started to learn. ”

Seeing Lilia showing a curious look and blinking her big eyes, Rocky suddenly realized that she still had such a cute side, and almost couldn't help pinching her face.

"Oh, then I'll go first. ”

Not realizing how cute she was in the moment, Lilia nodded and turned to leave the room.

But when she walked to the door, she suddenly remembered something.

"Rocky ......"

"What's wrong?"

"The Guards' equipment is too old to be used, and the amount of spare equipment is very small, and now that I've brought you so much, it's time to consider replacing the Guards with new equipment. ”

With that, Lilia left the lab.

But after the door was closed, Rocky in the laboratory was directly crazy, the matter of having no money to sell food had not been resolved, and the equipment of the guards was about to be changed, which made it impossible for people to live!
