This thorn forest on the west side of Sun Lake is slightly different from the small thorn forest on the east side of the East Eagle Lumber Yard.

It is mainly a thorn tree, but it is also mixed with a wide variety of wild trees and flowers. The ratio of thorn trees and other trees and flowers is about five or five open.

The three of them walked around the thorn forest for an hour.

Frano stretched out his hand to touch the hard trunk of the tree, with a hint of joy on his face, and said, "Lord Lord, this woodland is spacious, with a large distribution of plants and many thorn trees, which is very suitable as a place for the rangers' actual combat training!" ”

Laurine turned her head to look at a hideously twisted spike and nodded in agreement, "This thorn forest is much more complex than most woodlands we've encountered in the past. ”

She touched a spike, felt the rough and hard touch, and looked solemn: "The thorns all over this place have greatly increased the difficulty of the ranger's agility in it.

This is definitely a test for the novice students in the training ground!

But...... The ranger who walks out of the thorns will be stronger, although the process of honing may be indispensable to pain and blood. But the final harvest must be sweet! ”

"Makes sense!" Rett nodded, looking around at the secluded forest, and became even more determined to use this place as a training ground for rangers.

"It's a pity...... It's just that there are too few knight trainees under our command to select a few rangers, and such a large piece of woodland seems a bit wasteful. Frano shook his head regretfully.

Leiter glanced at Frano inexplicably, patted his shoulder, and said, "The population of our territory will definitely increase!" ”

"Hmm... It is also said that the promotion of the lord to the viscount will surely attract more people to join. Frano figured this out and said approvingly: "As long as the base of the population goes up, there will be no shortage of gifted knights." ”

Rett laughed but didn't say a word.

The Heart Dao is not only the attraction of the Viscount Lord, but also the influence of the Evil Alchemy Organization, which will also prompt more grateful outcasts to join......

Before going back, Frano and Laurin, helped Rett pick many mushrooms of different colors, saying that these mushrooms were absolutely non-toxic and delicious.

The mushrooms in the Thorn Forest are different from those on the Blue Star, but their form is still the same as that of mushrooms, and they are easy to identify.

Back at the castle, Rett went to the kitchen and handed the mushrooms to Cook Maru.

Taking the bag from Leiter's hand, Chef Malu smiled gently: "There are a lot of fresh mushrooms, Lord Lord wants to drink mushroom soup at noon?" ”

"That's right. But I have a suggestion, I hope you can add some chicken to the mushroom soup and s......immer over low heat," Reiter thought for a moment and commanded.

"Add some chicken? What a novel idea. Cook Malu looked surprised and thoughtful. As if thinking about what kind of flavor mushrooms and chicken would go with, he responded for a moment: "That sounds good, lord, I'll try it seriously!" ”

"Good work!"

Then we came to the fourth floor of the castle, where Raylai's room and the passage were deep in the middle of Nina's igloo, which was once an unused room and is now set up as an alchemy laboratory.

Raylai, dressed in a blue shirt with hair curled up on his forehead, holds tweezers in one hand and picks leaves from a cloudy beaker.

To his left was a small golden stove, with a fire-type magic crystal embedded in a groove at the bottom.

With the mobilization of Ruilai's spiritual power, the alchemy formation was hooked, and a flame erupted from the furnace.

On the stove, a brown-colored, wide-bellied, narrow-mouthed metal jar bubbled with a milk-like white liquid boiling in it.

Leite, who was standing at the door, smelled a faint fragrance, sniffed lightly, and said softly, "Ruilai, what are you refining?" It smells like milk, but it's a little different......"

"Well, Father, you're here, please take a seat!" Ruilai came back to his senses, pulled a chair from the depths of the room, and said as he walked, "It's all knick-knacks. Since it was my first time practicing, I only squeezed out the juice from the leaves of the wind-based magic plant, the bellflower, and mixed it with milk. ”

After saying this, Ruilai walked to the laboratory table and poured the cyan cloudy juice in the beaker into the alchemy jar, and the milk in the alchemy jar suddenly turned a layer of cyan.

Rely then condenses the water and cleans the beaker.

Leiter said with interest: "Yes, it smells good, is it for Baige?" ”

"That's right, Father!"

Leiter nodded and encouraged, "I hope to see you become an apprentice alchemist as soon as possible!" ”

"Well, it may take a while." Ruilai pursed his lips helplessly.

Facing his father's surprised gaze, he explained: "I thought that the apprentice alchemist was very simple, but later I found out that I was wrong, and it is not difficult to memorize dead knowledge, but in actual operation, not to mention the micro-operation of spiritual power, it also requires rich experience." There are many details in refining a potion, whether it is fire control, extraction of condensate, timing of adding condensate, and ingenious blending. The slightest omission will fail. ”

"Oh? Could it be that the alchemy books I brought back don't have the experience of other alchemists? Reitt asked.

"There are some, but if you only look at the text description, it will have a limited effect." Ruilai frowned slightly.

"For example, when I just extracted the magic plant liquid of bellflower, according to the book, the change of heat should be from small fire to large fire to light fire. However, the specific time node, when the fire is small, large, and light, is not mentioned.

And how should the rate of warming change, whether it will heat up slowly or quickly? Or is it heating up at a constant rate? These influencing factors are also not mentioned. Ruilai pointed to the boiling alchemy jar, "Just now I extracted the condensate according to the method described in the book, but it was less than one-third of the standard. There are still many details missing from the process of the certificate, which leads to deviations in the final result."

A thought appeared in Leiter's eyes, it sounded like alchemy and alchemy on the blue star had some similarities, but the two had some origins in history, and it was normal for there to be similarities.

He could only comfort this: "Since there are many details that are not mentioned in the book, we can only keep trial and error and find more economical ways again and again." ”

"For now, that's all it can ......," Ray sighed.

At this time, Lei Te thought to himself: "It is estimated that when that second-level alchemist joins and teaches him personally, the situation will be much better......

......

For the next two days, Reiter continued to patrol the territory.

On July 13th, LTECH came to the central square.

After a general glance at the whole square, there have been some new changes compared with half a month ago.

At this time, the Nightingale Tavern had already opened, but the residents of the town were still busy with the farm during the day, and although there was a welcome sign hanging in front of the Nightingale Tavern, there were few drinkers.

Ray rushed to the Iron Buddies Blacksmith's shop.

As soon as he reached the door, a wave of heat hit his face, and Ray held his breath to see Tru holding a small hammer and gently tapping the edge of the blade on the cutting board.

Willow and Brissot, on the other hand, have no foundation and have to learn everything from scratch, Willow is pulling the bellows, and Brisso is standing next to Andre, watching him carry a sledgehammer in his hand and use rhythmic percussions to shape the red-hot iron.

Because Andrei and Leonid were both performing sledgehammer beatings, their expressions were extremely focused and could not be interrupted.

Otherwise, the wrought iron that has not yet been shaped will cool when it is just red, and it will need to be reheated if you want to change it.

Leiter didn't want to cause trouble, so he watched quietly.

Until a kitchen knife was put into the water by Andre, and there was a sizzling sound.

He had long noticed Reiter's arrival, but in order to complete the work at hand, he did not respond immediately.

Taking a towel from Brissot, Andre wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, hurriedly stepped forward, and said, "Lord Lord, I've kept you waiting for a long time." ”

"It doesn't matter." "I came to you today because I found a vein in my territory, and I need you two to go with me to explore the situation. ”

"Your Excellency, have you found a vein?" Andrei's overjoyed voice reached the house, instantly attracting the attention of several people.

Leonid, in particular, was even more stagnant in the action of beating the iron, and before the shaping was finished, he put it back into the water, sweated profusely and came to Andrei's side, and said with anticipation in his eyes: "My lord, is what you just said true?" A vein was discovered.

For blacksmiths, the most pleasant thing, in addition to forging good tools, is to meet good mines, and there is no need to worry about the shortage of ores.

"May I ask, what type is it?"

"Fire Streak Mine."

"Huh? Fire Pattern Mine! Andre's eyes flashed brightly, and he said happily: "This is an excellent fuel, if you have a fire pattern ore, you will no longer need to change the wood in the furnace frequently in the future, and the stability of the fire will also be improved!" ”

"Take us there, my lord!" Leonid couldn't wait, "I'm already looking forward to the day when we will use Fire Streak Ore as our fuel in the future." ”

Reitt smiled.

Take the two of them to the south of Eagle Town, about twenty kilometers away.

To the south of a ravine, the trio saw a deep pit. The dirt piled up around him was exactly what Leiter mobilized by using the strengths of the earth magician.

"My lord, is the Fire Emblem Mine down there? How many meters deep? ”

"Forty meters!" Rett said lightly.

"What? Forty meters? Andrei and Leonid spoke in unison, expressing their inner shock.

"Forty meters, we will have to build a passage down, and we will have to build tracks and minecarts underneath......" Andrei said to himself, frowning. He still maintains the mindset of ordinary people, or knight mining, and does not break out in time.

"Don't bother!" Reitt shook his head.

Immediately after, under the gaze of Andrei and Leonid, I saw a particularly shocking scene for them!

I saw Leitt's eyes focused, standing on the reddish-brown ground with his wand in his hand, his mental power twitching, and the ground trembled faintly.

Then a large chunk of dirt began to flutter upwards and slowly moved to other locations.

The area that LTECH can control at the same time is about 100 square meters, so for Andrei and Leonid, this scene does look a bit spectacular.

"It's worthy of being an earth magician, this ability is too powerful!" Andrei and Leonid looked at each other and let out the same exclamation.

The two of them retreated fifty meters backwards, for fear of affecting the adult's spell casting.

Time passed, and three hours passed, and the ground on the right hand side of Leiter had been piled up with an area of 500 square meters, with the highest peak being more than 20 meters.

"Whew." Lei Teh let out a long breath and wiped the sweat stains on his forehead, although he became a third-level magician, the workload just now was extremely heavy for him.

Moreover, he could not complete so much land at once, and he had already meditated several times just now to restore his dry spiritual power.

Now, he's going to take another break.

It's just that, before meditating, he beckoned to the two who were running a little farther away, and shouted, "You two can come here, and there is the open-pit fire pattern mine below." ”

Andrei and Leonid have been watching from the sidelines, the two of them have become numb, they have watched countless times, the lord mobilized a large amount of dirt to complete this feat himself, it seems somewhat useless for the two of them......

Now that he finally heard the lord's command, his whole body was suddenly full of energy, and a spirit rushed over.

But standing in front of a pit of more than 40 meters, his pupils shrank again.

"A vein so deep underground was turned into an open-pit mine by the lord. It's amazing! Andrei admired from the bottom of his heart.

"There's a slope to the east, you two can go down from there and explore the reserves of the veins first." Rett closed his eyes and commanded.

"No problem, my lord!" The two of them said in unison.

Half an hour later, Leiter, who had recovered from meditation, began to adjust the vertical cliffs around the veins again.

After all, the forty-meter deep pit is too troublesome for future miners to carry it after mining fire pattern ore.

He needed to adjust the 360-degree vertical wall around him to a gentle slope.

It didn't take long for Leonid and Andri, two apprentice knights, to easily come up the slope, each holding in their hands a piece of irregularly shaped ore about a meter in diameter.

The faces of the two of them were full of joy, and they came to Leiter and reported the situation below: "Lord Lord, the two of us took a brief look just now, and there should be a small vein below, with reserves of about two to fifty thousand tons. Although not very rich, it was more than enough to satisfy our town. ”

"Two to fifty thousand tons...... That's two thousand to five thousand kilograms. Leiter did the math a little and had a good idea in mind.

A fist-sized piece of fire stripe ore, if used as fuel, is enough for the furnace of the blacksmith to burn for three days and three nights. A few tons of ore, you can't use it up at all. By the beginning of next year, most of the mined ore will be sold to the front.

It can not only make a lot of money, but also provide front-line military supplies, the best of both worlds!

He reached out and gently touched the ore that Andre was clasping in his hands, feeling a burst of warmth.

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

Two in one, long waiting

The words of thanks are in the words of the writer

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
