Chapter 92: Reclamation (II)
Early summer is also summer, and thunderstorms come and go quickly.
Barnel's monthly convoy trekked dirt roads, and finally arrived at the Forest House in the afternoon.
The first thing that catches my eye is a large group of people, who are in full swing.
There are ordinary workers in this group, and there are also strong adventurers, because the number of adventurers who have recently entered the forest has increased, so the task of the adventurer's union is not as easy to take over as before, and the intensification of competition has directly led to some adventurers being idle, so some adventurers, just when Romon is recruiting workers, also come here to work temporarily.
Compared with those workers, these adventurers have great strength, good skills, and are more able to endure hardships at work, if it weren't for the fact that there were not many adventurers who came, presumably, those ordinary workers would not have to be hired.
Among the adventurers, one person stood out the most, and at this time he was bare-chested, trying to move a large stone from the ground to the almost well-trimmed stone hall, and the people around him burst into cheers.
And at this time, a man with a longbow on his back, was on patrol, and when he saw this man, Barn's heart moved, this Sukal, who was now an overseer, had suppressed several incidents, and his archery skills were extremely powerful, and he had a bow and arrows in his hand, and it was not a problem to kill ten soldiers - I didn't expect Romon to dig up this talent.
Barr had also been wooed, but what Sukar had in mind was that even if something better and more advantageous was in front of him, he would never waver.
That's why Romon liked him in the first place. This time, Romon got the land here in the ruins, and when he was ready to start construction, he first thought of Sukal, and became the deputy sheriff, the deputy captain, even if the team had not yet been established.
Although Fafer and Nick are his good friends, however, Nick is already very busy, and Farfer is preparing for the promotion of fighters during this time, and he worships the teacher, and the training is very hard every day, and he has gone out on many missions to train himself, getting up early and coming back late, and when he arrives home, he is like a dead dog, and the actual security cannot rely on him.
So, Sukar is now the number one defense force in this land.
"Everyone, it's time to eat. At this time, Romon had already come out of the inn with a large amount of food, wine and meat, and when everyone saw it, they immediately hugged it happily.
"Sucar, how is it, are you tired?" said Romon as he walked up to Sucar. "Although your poison has been cleared, you still need to recuperate for a while, and in the future, you can supervise the work here, there is some work, you don't have to do it yourself, you can't do it when you're tired. ”
"Hehe, it's okay, I'll just pay attention to it later. Sukar laughed.
Romon patted him on the shoulder, then turned his gaze to Barnle.
Barn looked at it in amazement, and found that the original temple had been completely repaired, and the stone hall was full of all kinds of long tables, glass instruments, scales, etc., and it was obvious that the base camp for the manufacture of potions had been relocated to the stone hall
"Oh, it's ready?" Barnle asked.
"Ready, Mr. Barnle, come in and have a look, especially in the basement. Romon still said enthusiastically.
Originally, it was a shrine for prayer, but of course it was very large
It was originally built of marble, but now it has been cleaned and polished, and the wind and frost on the exterior have been removed, and now it is clean and bright.
The original large hole is now equipped with glass, and the sunlight shines through the glass, filling the hall with sunlight.
Three hundred years ago, glass was a rare item, the price was very expensive, but now, glass can only be said to be a bit of a luxury item, in the city, there are two glass workshops, although not to make large glass, but small glass can still be made, this kind of glass, the general townspeople can not afford it, a little money squire or merchant family, will be on the window, inlaid with a piece of small glass, proof is a person with status and status.
However, the glass in front of me is up to a meter high and wide, and such a large piece of glass must be customized.
Seeing Barnel inspecting, Romon said with a smile: "Our lord, decorating the villa and castle, once ordered a batch of glass, and there was some surplus, so I bought it." ”
So it was, Barnel was relieved and said, "It's good, it's good!"
But the most conspicuous thing is the long, more than ten meters long table, which is full of various equipment.
Moreover, there are huge cabinets around it, and countless drawers are used to store medicinal herbs, all of which are labeled with the names of the materials.
Seeing this, Barn was very envious in his heart, this is the alchemy room.
In the eyes of the merchants, this is a constant supply of silver mines, from which sparkling silver coins can be produced.
Mages and druids, and even priests, involve some alchemy, and for the merchants, the difference between them does not mean anything at all, and importantly, to make money.
Concoction of potions, weapon enchantments, making wands and strange objects, anyone who is proficient in one of them is a source of money, not to mention feeding a family, even if it is a small piece of territory, it is more than enough.
Not to mention that Romon is still a third-level druid, and it will continue to develop in the future, this investment is really earned.
Unaware of the feelings and envy in Barn's heart, Romon led him into the basement.
The basement was very dim, Luo Meng pondered for a moment, and a ball of light slowly flew out, like a light bulb, floating on Luo Meng's head, following Luo Meng's footsteps, illuminating the scene within ten meters.
Light Technique, Level 0 Spell, is a trick that druids, mages, and priests can basically do, it can generate a ball of light above the head, glowing like a torch, illuminating the surroundings, the time is ten minutes per level, only five minutes at level 0, Romon is now level, once it is cast, it can be half a novel without extinguishing, which is enough.
In the illuminated basement, there are batches of mud beds, divided into several layers, and the mud beds are piled up with thick fertile soil, but no seeds have been planted yet.
"Mr. Barnel, I sent you to bring the Radiance Crystal. ”
"Oh, here, here. Stunned, Barnel hurriedly took out a box from his arms, and when the box opened, there were four crystal balls the size of eggs, which were already full of energy in the sun from the faint light that they emitted.
"I'll put it on. Romon said, he took it unceremoniously, and took out one, along the prepared ladder, close to a ceiling, where there was a lamp-like thing, this was actually a small magic circle, specifically to stimulate the Radiance Crystal
Put the crystal up, fix it, inject a little power, and suddenly, the crystal will brighten up and emit light, so that the people around you can't help but close their eyes immediately.
"Is this what it is?" asked Barnel when he opened his eyes and realized that Romon had extinguished the Light Spell, and the crystal glowed like sunlight and illuminated the entire underground hall.
"Of course, it can be sunshine for eight hours, and the basement is basically closed, and the temperature will be relatively stable, which is a greenhouse. Romon also looked at it proudly and said, "Now you can plant the seeds." ”
"Oh oh!" Barn looked at with a complicated expression, this is another silver mine!
"Mr. Barnle, let's settle the score!" said Romon after a moment's scrutiny.
That was the matter, and Barnel came to his senses, and went up, and sat down in the small room at the edge of the hall, which was very simple, with a few sofas and a table.
Romon asked, and Barn said, "The rest of the money has been settled, and it is said that the Hui Crystal is 1,200 gold coins, and the rest of the grain, seeds, and farm tools that have come with them are only worth a hundred." ”
"Thirteen hundred gold coins!" Luo Meng groaned for a moment, tapped his fingers on the sofa, paused, he appeared a smile, and suddenly said: "You saw the greenhouse just now, it's big, right?"
"It's huge. Barn was about to cry out bitterly to Romon when he said he could borrow money and therefore owed him a favor, and now suddenly he was stunned when he asked such a question.
"The greenhouse is very large, and the alchemy room is also very large, but unfortunately there is a bit of a shortage of manpower!" Luo Meng said vaguely.
But how smart Barn was, his eyes suddenly lit up: "...... I would like to take on an apprenticeship?"
Although Barn knew a few mages, he was usually able to trade, but it was difficult to install his own children as apprentices, this kind of technology and strength were all strictly restricted forces.
Speaking of practicality, it really has to be investigated, Romon also has to thank the baron, when Jeffa settled in the town, one of the conditions of the baron was to recruit a few apprentices, but as a result, it was difficult for the children of decent families to comprehend nature, but it made Romon cheap, of course, even so, Jeffa's teaching is actually very basic and shallow, if it were not for Shennongjiao, it would be impossible to break through now.
"Apprentice, no, no, I'm not going to teach apprentices, but I can let them help in the process. Romon said.
"Then what conditions do you have?" Barn's eyes were still lit up, and he didn't care, although he didn't explicitly accept apprentices, but in the process, he could also learn a lot of things, even if he didn't have the opportunity to become a druid in the future, but he could become a professional alchemist by studying general potions and meditating on basic strength.
This is different from textbooks, if there is no one to guide them, the language and magic terms alone will be difficult for a large number of people, not to mention the price.
"I'm not demanding, obedient, and somewhat smart...... Eun, little girls are the best!"
Little girl, it is very common to hire underage maids - easy to discipline, easy to support...... Barn never minded his daughter being this kind of maid, but he didn't, and he thought about the underage girl in the clan, and he asked tentatively, "How many?"
"Five or so!"
"Yes, it's up to me. ”
"Well, I'll leave this matter to you, and the money thing, in another three months, okay?"
"Of course, it's my pleasure, I don't want you with interest!" Barn said in quick succession.
Speaking of this, the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
