Everyone knew that Randall had a forbidden land, a village built on a flat-topped hill, and no one was allowed to approach it without a warrant from his lord. The terrain of the hill village is steep, there are many sentry posts, and the security is tight, and there are four patrols within a radius of two hundred kilometers to patrol non-stop, if someone breaks by mistake, the first time will be warned, the second time will definitely be expelled from the Randall Territory, never the third time, normal people will never risk their lives to challenge the authority of the lord family.

Out of reverence for their lords, the freedfolk hired men dubbed the forbidden place Randall's Secret Castle.

In fact, the Secret Fortress is the freedmen's generic name for the liege's forbidden land. Many realms have similar secret castles, perhaps a castle, a manor, or a village, which is often the most important workshop of the liege family

Randall's Secret Castle is not a mystery, and many freedfolk hired men have transported supplies for it, so they know what is being produced inside. There was a transit yard at the bottom of the hill, where the coachmen hauled all kinds of common goods and carried away all kinds of weapons and armor, purple cane wine, jaggery sugar, snow sugar, coffee, potions, and so on. In particular, Randall had recently mined an iron ore mine and transported iron ore to it every day, and now there were more than a hundred people working in the freight yard to load and unload, and they even often saw the drivers in charge of transporting in the Secret Keep. It's just that they don't greet each other, and they can't work for each other.

"Knock!" "Knock!"

The earth trembled slightly, and under the astonished gaze of the stevedore, a group of swift birds rode lightly to escort a magnificent red copper carriage, and drove straight to Randall's secret castle, and the guards in the sentry did not stop it, but moved the barricade early.

"Don't look at it, it must be the lord's car, everyone should work!" the steward called out loudly, and the freight yard returned to its former busyness.

The giant rhinoceros pulled the wagon over the heavy drawbridge and entered the gate of the hill camp. The carriage stopped, the coachman was ready to step on his feet, knocked on the door, and Sylvia stepped out of the carriage with Victor's arm.

"Is this your hill camp?" Sylvia looked around and smiled, "It seems that there are many secrets hidden inside." ”

The two-square-kilometre hill camp is divided into many separate areas by a three-meter-high fence, which is like a labyrinth and gives it a very mysterious feel. There are indeed many secrets here, in addition to the alchemy tower, huge brick kilns, fish-man breeding pools, large furnaces, potion workshops, blacksmith shops, carpentry workshops, animal pens, wine cellars, storage rooms, etc., 80 alchemy auxiliaries and 120 spirit monkey militias are engaged in production activities in different regions, and their products and technologies are of course derived from the alchemy empire.

There are many secrets in the hill camp, but they are not to the point where they cannot meet people. The Alchemy Tower is just a cave, the outer side of the rock brick city wall is covered by an iron oak fence, and the inner side is only ordinary green bricks, and no one can see the strange in it. As for the alchemy humans, who would believe that these flesh-and-blood people are unnatural creatures? The only glare is the fish-man breeding pool, in fact, it is not a big deal, there are countless monsters raised by the church and the silver-white tower, and Edwin also captured a half-dragon man in the first place.

Victor doesn't know why Sylvia is visiting the hill camp, but he doesn't mind opening up some technology to the Yorks. This is mainly because most of the techniques mastered by alchemy humans are the processing and utilization of natural resources, which does not involve the theory of alchemy civilization, and does not go beyond this era, even if it is taken out, it will not scare people to death, let alone expose the secrets of the alchemy tower.

For example, the alchemy auxiliaries have mastered 37 kinds of hemostatic potion formulas, and the silver-white tower pharmacy has long been a university subject, and there are many formulations of various functions, and hemostatic potions are only the most basic part of them, and they have even invented healing potions with more excellent effects, as for those violent potions that stimulate the potential of the human body, and the refining potions that purify the bloodline are even more formulas that alchemy humans do not have.

The difference is that the production method of alchemy human hemostatic medicine is simple, low cost, and local materials, many seemingly useless or poisonous animals and plants can have the effect of stopping bleeding, while the hemostatic formula mastered by scholars is simple and complex, and the best healing agent also uses dragon lizard blood. If alchemists capture dragon lizards, they will only carefully preserve the dragon lizard blood and hand it over to the alchemist.

Therefore, the elixir formula of alchemy humans is based on the principle of collecting resources, first, it can help alchemy humans heal wounds, remove toxins, and restore mobility. The second is to capture different creatures. The third is that some herbs are not resistant to storage and must be processed as soon as possible, and recovery agents are in this category. Anything that does not conform to these principles, such as a violent potion, a refining potion, or a sleeping potion, will not be used by the alchemist humans. In contrast, Baita Pharmacy is self-contained, with a sound theoretical foundation and application value, and more development potential.

The techniques in the will side of the alchemy human will all have the same characteristics, lack of theoretical support, like a pool of stagnant water, and are particularly easy to imitate. However, modern civilized society cannot eliminate technical plagiarism, let alone a world without patent law.

Any technology can only be valuable if it is taken out and used, and if you are afraid of being plagiarized, you will put the technology on the shelf and let it become moldy, isn't it ridiculous.

It is the right way to cultivate your own talents, improve your scientific research ability by copying other people's technology, and constantly bring forth the new. The Randall family does not have scientific research capabilities at the moment, but the York family has talents! The giant brick kiln rebuilt by Home Minister Anthony has more than tripled its production efficiency.

Plagiarism is inevitable, and it is copied by everyone! In that case, it is better to use the scientific research capabilities of allies to reap more benefits. Even if Sylvia doesn't come to the hill camp, Victor will have to choose some technology to provide to the York family, and of course they will give it back accordingly.

"My dear, there's more to it than you can imagine. Victor said honestly: "I'll show you the results of the Randall family now!"

"Okay... Sylvia turned to the servant and said, "You are all waiting for me here, and you are not allowed to stay away from the carriage!"

"Yes, ma'am. ”

The Yorkist servant bowed, and Sylvia took Victor's arm and followed him to the wooden door on the left. As soon as I entered the door, I saw several hounds, some of them bobbing their heads and tails, some of them lying lazily on the ground, and some of them barking wildly and ready to pounce. Victor shouted at the alchemy militia here, "Come on, get these dogs away." ”

"Wait. Sylvia stared at the hounds for a moment and asked, "Are you breeding hounds?"

"yes. Victor nodded.

Sylvia asked unhappily, "Can't the Sartre Hound I gave you to your satisfaction?"

Both nobles and commoners were keen to tame animals, and the most common was of course the hound. There are as few as 50 or 60 hunting dogs in each village and town, and there are more than 100 of them, which is not only for the convenience of hunting sheep and shepherding, but more importantly, for the safety of the village. Caravans, mercenary groups, and outcasts also commonly carry guard dogs on their roads. Gradually, the breeding of excellent hounds became a symbol of the heritage of the lord family, and the Sutter spaniel of the York family was one of the best.

The Sutter Hound is muscular, tough and powerful, although it is not as fierce and aggressive as the Godzilla Bear Retriever, but its physical strength and endurance are outstanding, coupled with its tenacious and resolute character, its combat effectiveness is not lost to the Bear Hound at all. Moreover, the Sutter Hound is second only to the Godzilla Bear Hound in terms of ferocity, with an average of one fierce hound for every 300 dogs. Many families want to get a purebred Sutter Hound, which costs more than three cows.

Sylvia generously gave Victor 100 Sutter Hounds to help Randall clear the beasts. However, the family characteristics of the Sutter Hound are too obvious to be suitable as a guard dog for smuggling caravans. Victor also hopes to breed safari dogs that are sensitive, hard-working, and brave and tenacious. He used steppe dogs, mountain people's guard dogs and ordinary hunting dogs, and after three years of breeding, there were hundreds of more hybrid dogs, including better guard dogs, but the new dog breed was far from being finalized.

Victor didn't expect Sylvia to be angry at such a trivial matter, he pondered for a moment and said, "The hill camp is my testing ground, and you don't have to be surprised to see anything here. ”

"Proving ground?"

"Yes. Victor nodded and said, "I don't have a think tank, I don't have academics, and all Randall's inventions are made through constant experimentation, groping, and experimentation. The White Tower, the Church, and the Lords were all very important in taming beasts, and it is said that the Duchy of Teutoni was even able to raise moon bears as war beasts. Isn't it normal for me to breed hounds?"

Sylvia was noncommittal, without saying a word, Victor smiled: "Honey, it doesn't matter if you breed a hound, the point is to try, grope and experiment. ”

"Here, I'll show you something good!"

Bypassing a fence is the fish-man breeding pond, three large puddles dug in the ground, and dozens of fish-men squeaked and screamed in the leftmost puddle, looking very painful, and the slime they secreted turned the pool water into a sticky paste. When the fish-men became dying and no longer moved, the alchemy militia guarding the shore pulled them up one by one with a sleeve pole, rinsed their bodies with clean water, and finally threw them into the pool of clear water on the right.

"You sent someone to catch the fishman just for such a disgusting slime, what's the use of the fishman slime?"

Several "farmers" carefully collected the slime from the pool into the barrels, and Sylvia couldn't help but frown.

The guards of the Temperance Gate often saw Randall soldiers running to the river to catch fishermen. In order to study the habits and value of monsters, aristocratic scholars often send people to capture all kinds of strange creatures, and it is not worth making a fuss about Viscount Randall catching a few fishmen, but it is a little unusual to catch them every month, and catch more and more each time.

Sylvia received a report from the guards and was also curious, and until today she didn't know why Victor was catching the fishman.

"Mortar made with fish-man slime works better than ordinary mortar...... Victor explains the characteristics and discernment of the new mortar.

After listening, Sylvia said with a complicated expression: "No wonder ..... Victor, do you know what this new mortar means?"

"With the new mortar and rock bricks, Master Edwin can start thinking about how to build a giant fortress that exceeds the 60-meter limit. Victor said calmly. Some things can be taken out, and some secrets must not be revealed, such as the design of a giant fortress that is nearly 100 meters high...... Then, he heard Sylvia say, "There is now a giant fortress that is more than 60 meters away!"

"What?"

Sylvia nodded slightly, "Twenty years ago, the Borui Kingdom successfully built a 72-meter-high fortress. Many lords are inquiring about its secrets...... I know now, it turned out to be Fishman Slime. ”

"Perhaps, the Borui people started using fish-man slime 80 years ago. Sylvia thought for a moment and said, "In the past, ships built by the Borui people would leak in less than 10 years. In recent decades, their shipbuilding technology has advanced considerably, and they have begun to build large ships that can accommodate 200 people. It was precisely because of the emergence of large ships that prompted the Borui people to open up the southern continent. My guess is that the Borui scholars used fish-man slime to make viscose and solved the problem of water leakage in ships. ”

Victor secretly sighed, there is never a shortage of smart people in this world, in the same environment, there is no technology that crushes everything, you know, others may not understand, but what you can make, others can also make. If you hold your own one-third of an acre of land, you will be eliminated sooner or later!

Victor became more and more determined to take advantage of the idea of laying eggs and eggs, and he said, "I don't only have mortar here!" As he spoke, he turned to an alchemy militiaman and shouted, "White, go get a rattan skin armor and a rattan silk soft armor." ”
