With the support of Her Royal Highness Dorothea, the benefits brought to Xia Lin are extremely large.

The first benefit that Xia Lin received was an edict from His Majesty Emperor Sassen XVII.

With this, the library of the Royal Academy of Magic opened its doors to him.

The second benefit is that since then, Xia Lin has more big trees behind the imperial family, and his industrial park can barely be regarded as a part of the royal industry.

This invisible gain, compared with the 25% stake paid by Xia Lin, it is difficult to tell whether it is a loss or a gain, but Xia Lin feels that if he can get in touch with the royal family, he will definitely make a profit without losing money.

The third income was a group of fifteen royal craftsmen, all of whom were skilled carpenters.

They come from the royal estate in the name of the princess, and they will have full authority to follow Xia Lin's instructions to build various utensils for him, and Xia Lin will not be responsible for the salary.

The fourth income was a huge investment of 500 gold lunt provided by the princess and the Hozia family.

And the fifth benefit was the short, stocky dwarven master in front of Xia Lin, with slightly gray hair and beard in brown and red, and a whip that smelled of wine and sweat, Holguin Copperbeard.

"What factory? I haven't heard of it, where did the little mage come from, how could the imperial military let you come to me, they don't know that I am the most annoying to you little chicks hiding in the distance in my life except for those elves who can only shoot arrows! ”

Holguin Copperbeard was not at all interested in what Charlin said about factories and the like, and he wasn't even as attractive as the ale in his hand.

It was also after communicating with Her Royal Highness that Xia Lin learned that the royal blacksmith of the original empire, the president of the blacksmith guild, was actually a dwarven master who was two hundred and forty-three years old, and even the pure gold armor of Sassen XVII was made by him.

For the master's skill, the Empire enacted a law prohibiting dwarven slaves, and all previous dwarven slaves were released to become residents of the realm of the unprecedented dwarven viscount.

These dwarves lived in the Furnace Valley in the Black Mountain on the north side of the imperial capital, and every day they were mining and smelting, drinking and forging, and basically did not go out much, and they really lived the life that the dwarves dreamed of.

After learning the news, Xia Lin was naturally very excited, after all, dwarves are legendary natural miners and blacksmiths.

Although it is not clear their specific level, if you think about it, if you think about it, you can estimate that they have a lifespan three or four times longer than humans, and they must all have good craftsmanship.

Now that there is a group of three or four hundred middle and senior fitters, what mechanical parts do you want to process?

However, even Her Royal Highness has no command over this group of dwarves, she can only provide a military certificate to let Xia Lin enter the dwarf settlement, but if you want to say that you want to obey the dwarves, you still have to rely on Xia Lin herself.

"Master Holguin, I have designed a new type of furnace that can even produce tens of thousands of pounds of pig iron per day, aren't you interested?"

Seeing that the dwarven master was unmoved by his invitation, Xia Lin unwillingly took out the blueprint of the iron-making blast furnace he had drawn.

"Huh? You humans finally know how to make iron like this? ”

When Master Holguin heard Xia Lin's words, he drunkenly burped, grabbed the drawings, and looked at the dim light in the crypt:

"Well, these pictures look good, they seem to be better than our dwarven stoves, but I had this kind of thing when I left the tribe more than eighty years ago, and you think I'll be able to look at it?"

Master Holguin sneered, put down the drawings and picked up the flask.

Unexpectedly, the dwarves had even developed blast furnace ironmaking technology, Xia Lin couldn't help but be a little surprised, he saw that the traditional way of ironsmithing in Buck's blacksmith shop was still the same way, and he thought that the technical level of this world was also like that.

It seems that the dwarves are indeed quite talented in forging and smelting, and they have actually figured out the technology of blast furnace ironmaking a hundred years ago.

"That'...... What if it's a new type of metalworking tool? ”

Xia Lin didn't think that with the technology he brought, he couldn't impress these dwarves, and seeing that the blast furnace drawings didn't attract Master Holguin's attention, he asked Wyatt to take out a stack of drawings from the small wooden box and hand them to Holguin.

Xia Lin's drawings made according to engineering drawings were obviously absolutely unique in this era, otherwise Master Holguin would not have made any special comments that his drawings were good.

Seeing that Xia Lin took out a new drawing, Master Holguin was also a little interested, he took the drawing, carefully looked at the strange things on it, and frowned:

"Little mage, what are these things? How can they be considered tools for metalworking? ”

"Master Holguin, the names of these tools are machine tools, and there are many types of them, such as lathes, planers, sawing machines, milling machines, drilling machines, grinding machines, and so on.

Through these lathes, blacksmiths no longer need to use sledgehammers and small hammers to beat iron, and directly use them to cut, mill, saw, drill, ream, ream, kneur, tap, grind, plane machining, surface processing and other work. ”

Xia Lin saw that Master Holguin was really fooled, and explained with a smile.

"Nonsense! How could there be such a thing in the world? This must be an alchemist's trick, and we dwarven blacksmiths don't have mage talent and can't use these tools at all! ”

Master Holguin couldn't fully embody the mechanism on the drawing in his mind, so he could only classify this magical thing as an alchemist, and he blew his beard and glared at him and vetoed.

"No, no, no! Master Holguin, these are the jobs of our blacksmiths, and if you don't believe me, you can bet with me that although the conditions are limited now, it is not possible to make advanced machine tools to achieve all the effects I have said, but simple woodworking machine tools can still be made!

The current dwarves don't even have the courage to make a bet with humans, right? ”

Xia Lin didn't expect this dwarf old man to be so stubborn, and he didn't understand it, so he directly put the machine tool into the alchemist's creation category, so he had to adopt the strategy of saving the country with curves.

"Bet? Then I, Holguin, haven't been afraid of anyone, so let's say! How to bet? ”

"If the woodworking machine can show some of the capabilities of the machines I mentioned, then Master Holguin will give me the freedom to recruit dwarven craftsmen in the Forge Valley!"

"Good! Then I'll make this bet with you! If you lose, you'll have to buy me ten bottles of Winged Flame Dragon's Blood Wine!" ”

Master Holguin clapped.

The Winged Flame Dragon is a medium-level magical beast, its strength is not much different from that of the Three-Ring Mage, and it can also fly, and it usually requires a medium-sized mercenary group of more than five hundred people to have a chance to hunt it.

It has a lot of magic in its blood, a rich aroma after brewing, and a very high alcohol intensity, making it a luxury liquor worth 10 gold lunt per bottle.

Ten bottles of blood wine is a hundred gold lundes, Ren is Xia Lin's current net worth, and it can also be called a broken nerve.

However, Xia Lin still chose to trust his machine tool, and he slapped the table heavily:

"Good! The bet is set! ”
