Chapter 24: The Magic Loom

When breakfast was over, Finia and Tessa walked in, holding hands, followed by Colin, looking around like a child following an adult out to play.

The further he went, the more Colin felt like a factory.

It's just that this factory seems to do everything, greenhouse planting, poultry breeding, metal processing, woodwork, and some large equipment that does not know the function.

It's big, but it's unplanned.

He didn't know what other "factories" were like, so he didn't dare to express his opinion casually.

Along the way, Finia introduced the business projects of the Chamber of Commerce to the two.

"Your Majesty wants to replace a batch of furniture in the palace, and our existing forty-five carpenters are probably not enough, and we are ready to recruit some more."

"These broad-feathered golden pheasants are a breed that has just been shipped from the Western Continent, not only the meat is delicious, but the feathers are deeply loved by the noble lady and lady, and the follow-up is ready to expand the breeding range."

"Oh, gardener, by the way, we are in dire need of a gardener, and if we don't fix up Count Rudolph's garden before he returns from vacation, the Chamber will lose a generous customer."

"In addition, a new batch of Anta Mountain tobacco leaves is already on the way, and I will personally send it to Master Roman when the time comes."

“……”

For Colin, what he saw at the Wandering Gold Chamber of Commerce was refreshing, as the old, rigid, and magical world that had been in his consciousness seemed to be infused with a modern landscape, albeit still primitive.

"There's good news."

Fenia said to Tessa with a look of invitation, "The two veil flowers brought back from the Duchy of Nazland have been successfully transplanted, and I believe that they will be planted on a large scale by next year." ”

"Really? That's great. Tessa looked surprised and said with a little eagerness, "Can you go and see?" ”

"Of course."

Several people quickened their pace and walked inside.

As I turned the hallway through a courtyard, I found a group of people discussing something around a strange-looking machine, including two middle-aged men in black magic robes.

"What are they doing?" Tessa stopped and asked curiously, despite being anxious to see the flowers.

Finia explained: "Master Toroman's blessing, the Chamber of Commerce got an order for the royal family's gold weave cloth this year, and for this purpose, it specially purchased a magic loom from the Principality of Gilman, but it is said that because it uses the latest technology, it is often damaged, we contacted the seller, but the other party offered a sky-high maintenance fee, which is really beyond our budget." ”

Tessa frowned and said, "This kind of business, they are not afraid of no customers?" ”

Finia said helplessly: "No way, the Principality of Gilman is far ahead in the field of engineering equipment, and the loom is the absolute core technology, and our magicians in Tulum attach too much importance to personal strength, and are rarely willing to use magic in business. ”

"And ...... these people?" Tessa looked at the group of people gathered around the loom.

"We've invited many magicians to come and see it before, but there's no way, this time we hired two mid-level magicians from the association who are good at this, and the other few are technicians from the Chamber of Commerce."

"Can it be solved?"

"For the time being, we haven't found the key, if we can't do it, we can only continue to use the existing old looms, but the efficiency and quality will decline, which is likely to affect next year's orders."

Colin was listening, also with mixed feelings.

Technical barriers are a problem everywhere.

He knew very well that Finia didn't want to turn to the Mage Tower for help, but first, it was a big fuss to trouble Roman Sagan with such a trivial matter, and secondly, even if Roman personally took action, it might not be able to solve it, after all, the title of Magister was mainly because of his strong personal strength and prestige, and his skills in a certain professional field may not be as strong as a low-level mage who has been immersed in it for many years.

It's like asking a Nobel Prize physicist to fix a refrigerator with a screwdriver, not necessarily impossible, but it definitely takes time to research, and it's far less efficient than a skilled repairman.

Tessa bowed slightly, and she didn't have any good ideas for a while.

The group continued on until they came to a nursery, where two flowers resembling tulips were planted in large, elaborate pots in a specially sealed room.

The most special thing is that the temperature inside the room is significantly lower than outside, and on a hot summer day, it seems as if the air conditioner is on.

"The Veil Flower likes the cold climate of the Duchy of Nazland, so we have a magician cool the room on a regular basis, and when the sun and temperature are solved next year, we can build a flower garden and plant it on a large scale," Finia explained. ”

"In this way, the cost must be not small." Tessa leaned down slightly, taking a closer look at the petals of the veil flower.

"The cost is high, but the benefit is also high, and Miss Tessa knows how good the cosmetic lipstick made from the petals of the veil is."

"Indeed." Tessa smiled and nodded.

After listening to this, Colin asked, "These flowers are used to make cosmetics?" ”

"Yes."

Phinea smiled: "Mr. Vane doesn't know, Miss Thunder City's noble lady is never soft on her outfits, especially if you add words like 'popular in the Western Continent', it will be even more attractive. ”

Because they were less affected by the war, the countries of the Western Continent were always able to lead the trend in academics, arts, fashion, etc., from ceremonial dress to food and entertainment, they have always been highly sought after by the upper class of the Tulun Kingdom, and some people even took pride in being able to speak the dialect of the Brighton region of the Western Continent.

Colin looked abrupt.

Tessa kept her eyes on the two flowers and said:

"The petals of the veil flower are soaked in a special agent, air-dried, ground and mixed with the honey and amber powder of the sword-winged bee to make a high-quality lipstick with a sparkling color and pleasant aroma."

"Senior sister also understands this?" Colin was curious.

Tessa showed a little pride on her face, and said with a smile: "The potion for soaking the petals was originally an uninherited secret of the Principality of Nazland, and I begged the teacher to help me crack it in reverse." ”

"It's amazing."

Colin couldn't imagine what it would be like for the teacher to be forced to study cosmetics, and asked:

"But Senior Sister is so naturally beautiful, does she need makeup?"

"The junior brother speaks so nicely." Tessa squinted and smiled.

After that, the two ladies quickly developed a topic about beauty, gradually entering territory that Colin knew nothing about.

He gradually got bored, and felt that the air conditioning in the flower room was oppressive, so he withdrew alone.

After waiting for a while, he saw that his sister and Ms. Finia still had no intention of ending, so they strolled around.

Soon after, he walked to the magic loom.

The group of people was still around the machine, discussing and arguing over something.
