"Teacher, can we have cats?" The two girls asked as they looked at their teacher with watery eyes and a little cat, each holding a small cat.

From the moment these cats appeared, someone was mentally prepared to be asked for so. Originally, I thought of a bunch of reasons to refuse, and I planned to send away this group of cats with a good coax.

However, looking at the restless kitten who was originally being held, he also calmed down when he mentioned things related to him, lying on his ears, and attacking with similar bright eyes. Seeing that the coat on the cats was a little dirty, I thought that they had walked for at least a few months before they walked from the southern border of the empire to the holy city.

Although some people don't know, how much of their journey in these months has been delayed because they love to play around. But this perseverance alone is worthy of appreciation. If you really want to be so unkind, just drive them out of the door.

Even the gray cat grandfather Hardy, who seems to be very resistant, actually shows a tired look from time to time. I don't know if this fatigue is caused by traveling for so long, or because of overwork to take care of three kittens.

At this time, Augustus, who rarely spoke, also spoke. "yes, let them stay. If there is a critical moment, it can also be used as emergency food. ”

"Meow meow meow!" "Meow!" The kittens have stopped talking and simply meowing.

Ignoring the black dragon, who was very resentful of cat meat, Lin thought for a while and said, "Although I don't know how those nobles or magicians in the southern part of the empire get along with their group of cats. But I know that cats are not what you say you want to raise, and they are not beasts that don't have enough intelligence. So if you want to stay or not, you have to respect their wishes. ”

As soon as the words were finished, the three kittens nodded like pounding garlic, which was naturally very willing. The gray cat Hardy seemed to have guessed the result, although he was helpless, but also as if relieved, and said: "Since this human magician is willing to take you in, then you can stay well, I am leaving." ”

"Grandpa Hardy." "Are you leaving us?" "Grandpa." The three kittens used a coquettish attack, but the gray cat hesitated.

At this time, Lin persuaded: "They are all willing to stay, you should at least stay for a while." If you had left not long after I left, you would have been walking for a long time. So just stay and rest for a while. Leave when you want to leave in the future, and don't be in a hurry to leave right away. ”

"Hmm, I thought you hated cats?" Hardy said.

"Strictly speaking, I don't hate cats, I just hate the attitude of the female cat in the first place. You should know one thing, and getting along with each other is not what you owe to whom, or who owes whom. I don't like his attitude that he doesn't care about my opinions and does whatever he wants. What's more, at that time, I had no intention of walking back to the Holy City from the Southern Forest with a cat. How long have you all been gone, I'll be home all at once, why spend so much time walking with a cat. ”

"Yes." Ignoring the fact that there is a dragon and a lich in this house, Hardy has to admit that this human is very easy to get along with. At least when they first crossed the abyss together, although in the final confrontation with the demon lord, what he said was a little unpleasant. But in the process of action, I was taken care of a lot.

"Got it, then I'll bother Your Excellency for a while." The gray cat bowed its head in greeting.

"But!" As soon as his tone changed, Lin looked at the cats and said, "Since you want to live in this house, it's different from you outside, and you have to abide by some rules." In fact, it is not strict, that is, try not to cause damage in the house. ”

Well, 'try to do it'. A few cats hear the point as soon as they hear it. And this word, for cats, is completely unbinding.

"Also, before you entered the house, did you see the long strip of house on the left side of the courtyard?" The cats nodded, and Lin suddenly changed a hideous face and said, "There are a lot of small things there, you are not allowed to go in and mess around, and you are not allowed to eat them as snacks or meals." If the little things in it die because of your absence, I promise that the next day the courtyard will be filled with the skins of the cats that have been peeled off, and old Augustus will be able to add vegetables. ”

It's not just someone with a hideous face, but the other three women have similar expressions. Especially the lich, although he only had a cold face and did not speak, his sense of oppression was the heaviest of all. So a few cats nodded desperately to show that they heard clearly. At the same time, they also understand that this is definitely a taboo, or the kind of taboo that will kill cats, and it must not be violated.

Finally,—— "Also, a few of the cats have a little heart failure," - since you want to stay, stay in my house, please keep it clean. You guys should take a shower and clean up. ”

"Take a bath?" The three kittens tilted their heads in disbesee. Only the gray cat Hardy blew up directly, and with a strange scream, he jumped off the chair and prepared to run out. Someone sighed in his heart, he really deserves to be a well-informed old cat, it seems that he has been tossing for humans before.

The three kittens, who were unreasonable, were obediently picked up by Harumi and Kaya, while the fleeing gray cat was chased by Fen with a flashing spell and lifted up the back of the neck. Hardy looked at the smiling lich for the first time with a loveless expression, and said dejectedly, "You can do this magic too." ”

Fen, who smiled evilly, looked at the gray cat in his hand and said, "In this world, there is no magic that I can't do." If so, then learn. It's nothing. With that, the three girls and four cats, as well as the two little ghosts who were as reluctant as Hardy, moved towards the facility that Lin was most proud of in his new home—the big bathhouse.

Someone definitely doesn't dream of opening a wine pool and meat forest, they just want to take a good bath. This is one of the humble wishes from after leaving the Tower of the Great Sage. So what double and three flying all over the sky, I haven't done it once.

The matter of a few cats is over, and a few silverbearded dwarves have been found. Whenever he watched Jermaine squirm and pinch, two legs that were short enough, and knees rubbing against each other, Lin knew that this thing was sick...... This thing has doubts and asks for help.

Leaving the dining room to Vana to clean up, the group moved to the small living room. There's a bar, comfy sofas, and a small open space where a piano is expected. Well, the piano isn't available yet. But it still doesn't change, it's the best place to chat after dinner.

It's called a bar, but in fact, the wine here is for guests, and Lin himself will only make coffee here to drink. It's not that I don't know how to drink, it's just that I can't drink alcohol. Because the two girls went to brush the cat and the child, Lin could only do it himself. A few dwarves were not pretentious, and they poured themselves a full cup of mead. This is one of the things they have fallen in love with since they left their hometown in the Underground Iron City.

When everyone drank in front of them, Jermaine also poured a few large sips of wine, blushed, and became bold. Lin spoke first at this time: "Okay, if you need my help, please tell me." ”

"Hehe, big brother, you see that we haven't been relatively idle lately, we don't have any income, and the research on peaceful armed forces is a little difficult. That's why I want to ask you for help with some ideas to see if there is any way to make money. ”

Originally, the work of the microscope has been scheduled until next year, and there is a reason why the silver-bearded dwarf can run in front of him and cry idle and poor. It's not that their business has been robbed by others, or the customers who have ordered the order have abandoned the order, but simply because their work efficiency has improved, the manufacturing speed has been accelerated, and the order has been digested.

And the key to the improvement of the efficiency of the Silverbeard Dwarf is the technical guild established by Uzov. Although the production of the microscope is a delicate work, it always needs some rough embryos and then deep processing.

In the beginning, the method of making the microscope was to start with the raw materials, and each step was done by themselves.

But when a person, with the help of the power gathered by the Technical Guild, disperses all the parts of the Manroland printing press to the craftsmen of the Guild, he is only present to guide him when it is time to assemble it at the end.

Even after assembling the second and third printing presses, they were only given assembly instructions, and let people figure it out for themselves, and they just waited to collect the money. Such an act of course, inspired the silverbearded dwarves.

Although the entire body of the microscope is made of magical materials, ordinary craftsmen in non-magical systems still have methods for casting and exercising these magical materials. Some methods make something of better quality, while others are worse. But if you just want to be a rough embryo, there are still many blacksmiths who join the Technology Guild who can do it.

Initially, however, Marit was against it. Because if you do this, you have to give the profit to others. It was Freya who made a reckoning with her people. Entrusting the technical guild to make rough embryos of microscope parts requires a certain amount of wages and material losses, and how much money will be earned for each microscope made. This is also the reason for Marit's objection.

However, by handing over the work of rough embryos, the four of them focused on fine processing, and the efficiency increased a little, and several microscopes could be completed in a month. After deducting the processing costs of the rough embryo, the total income is nearly 30% more than what can be earned at the same time in the past.

In other words, you can not only earn more money for the same working hours. And for those who want to have a microscope for private use, they can get things faster and start research earlier; In the Tech Guild, the group of fellow craftsmen can also profit from it, albeit for hard-earned money. But this can be said to be a solution that benefits everyone.

After making sure that they had no losses, the Silverbearded Dwarves of course changed course and rededicated the extra time to the study of the Peace Forces. With funds, of course, you have the confidence, and you will spend money on things.

But what they don't take into account is that the market is saturated, and the need for microscopes is not a necessity that all magicians will need. What's more, the Microscopic Arcane Eye to improve the magic method has long been handed over to the guild. If you have the time to specialize, you can develop a product with similar functions.
