Chapter Seventy-Seven: I Feel Like I'm Saying Something Wrong
Although the first experiment failed, Casio was not discouraged. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He also knew that he was not very familiar with papermaking, and that it was already remarkable to be able to make something that at least looked like a finished product for the first time.
After cheering himself on, Casio devoted himself to the study of papermaking.
In the following time, Casio continued to ponder and think, improving the chassis of the grinding stone in the disc mill, changing the upper notches to be more fine, and striving to grind the raw materials more finely, which is conducive to cooking.
In addition to this, he also tried to extend the boiling time, and the combination of water and raw materials was constantly improving.
In order to achieve the fastest improvement, he added two cauldrons and experimented with papermaking day and night.
Fortunately, the most time-consuming part of the whole papermaking process is the soaking of the material. And his large pool of raw materials really doesn't worry much about this problem.
For more than ten days, Casio has tried and improved an unknown number of times, but the final result is only one, failure!
"Who said papermaking is easy, how do I feel like a retarded during this time!" Casio sat in his office, rubbing his temples and began to complain to himself, relieving stress.
Casio has also read some novels, but he really doesn't understand that those beings who are just ordinary people on Earth can build airplanes and cannons when they go to the other world.
Why is it so difficult for him to restore a papermaking technique?
Shaking his head, Casio didn't think about these things anymore, and began to take the work report for this time and check it out.
During this period of time, although his paper-making business was not smooth, the construction of the mine frame of Ole and the road opening work of Sisko and others were still smooth sailing, and they were not affected too much by the increasingly cold weather.
Not only that, but his plan to ask Master Dane to send people to other villages and towns last time to pull people in has also begun to bear fruit. Recently, there have been some hungry people in Greenwater Town.
In order to prevent these hungry people from making trouble in Greenwater, Casio stepped up the patrol work on the one hand, and handed it over to Dainden to deal with the matter.
So much so that Casio felt a little guilty when he saw that Bachelor Dain was still too busy to touch the ground, and wondered if he was going to give him a salary increase or something.
While Casio was reviewing the progress of Greenwater, there was a knock at the door.
Casio had expected it, put down his work, and responded: "Please come in." ā
As soon as Casio's voice fell, Carl was the first to walk in, followed by a young man dressed in sackcloth with a dusty face.
When he saw the man, Casio was slightly stunned. The reason he's in the office today is because Carl said he has a friend who's going to Greenwater.
In order to show his enthusiasm, Casio put down his papermaking work and returned to the office to prepare to greet the other party.
He originally expected that Carl's friend, if not middle-aged, should be close to middle-aged, but he didn't expect that it was actually a young man who looked no more than in his early twenties.
This can't help but make Casio maliciously guess whether this young man will be Carl's illegitimate son!
Despite the gloomy thoughts, Casio returned the most enthusiastic smile and walked out from behind his desk: "Carl, this is your friend?"
Ever since Casio created "Full Face Flower" and "Ouch Boom", Carl has shown a lot more respect to Casio.
At this time, when he heard this, he immediately saluted and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness, this is my friend who came from afar, Azka Niolas. ā
When he heard this name, Casio was slightly stunned, vaguely feeling that he seemed to have heard of this name somewhere, but he had no clue for a single time.
"Nice to meet you. ā
Facing Casio actually got up from his seat to receive him in person, under such hospitality, Azka was a little at a loss, and he didn't know how to respond to Casio's words for a while.
Fortunately, Karl, who was on the side, immediately reminded him, and Azca's face was swollen and he bent down with some trepidation: "It's an honor to meet you, His Royal Highness Prince Casio." ā
Casio has never been a person who likes red tape, so he asked Carl and them to sit down in the room, and the three of them began to greet and chat.
After a simple exchange, Casio learned about Azca's origins.
Azka did not have a fixed place, and had always traveled around the Duchy of Dolan and even several other surrounding principalities, seemingly to increase his knowledge of alchemy.
And Azka and Carl's acquaintance is nothing special, it's just because Azka helped Carl solve a problem in an incident, and the two became friends.
After understanding some basic information about the other party, Casio asked the most crucial question: "Azca, I wonder which aspect of alchemy you specialize in?"
In the world of Qurea, alchemy is just a general term, and there are many different branches of specialization under it, such as medicine, drug synthesis, and biological modification.
Seeing that Casio finally asked the crucial question, Azka's face showed a look of cringe, and Karl also showed a look of embarrassment.
Their expressions made Casio stunned, could it be that there was something unsightly about the specialization direction of Azca's research?
Azka took a deep breath, he had communicated with Carl on the way here, and knew that this prince was not ignorant of alchemy, and it was probably not so easy to fool the other party.
Therefore, he still intends to tell the truth.
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, my alchemy expertise is in the structure of materials. After saying this, Azka's heart lifted into his throat and watched Casio's expression closely.
Hearing this, Casio felt that there was nothing unpleasant, why did the two of them show such strange expressions just now.
"Material structure, it's a good direction. Casio nodded, and there was no strange expression on his face.
This made Azka and the two stunned for a moment, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
The structure of the material is lofty, but in fact it is a basic lesson that almost every alchemist has to master.
Azkar had been looked down upon and despised for saying that his specialization was in the structure of materials, because in the eyes of other alchemists, could a basic course that everyone should learn and master should be regarded as a specialization?
Originally, Azka was ready, and from Casio's face, he could see the contemptuous expression he had seen countless times, but he didn't expect that Casio was not abnormal at all.
At this moment, Azka himself couldn't help it at first, and asked cautiously: "Your Royal Highness, I heard that Karl also knows alchemy, and you should also know the discipline of material structure, right?"
Casio didn't know what Azka meant, but he still nodded: "I know a little bit about it, after all, the subject of material structure is vast and profound, and even if I want to master a little bit of it, it will not be an easy task." ā
After listening to Casio's heartfelt words, it completely made Azca's faces extremely weird.
It should have been a good thing for someone to agree with their research in this way, but when it happened, Azka still found it a little difficult to accept.
Looking at Carl's strange faces, Casio couldn't help but think to himself, "Nima, did I say something wrong?"
