If he had heard about the blueprints of the ballista before, he would have been excited for a moment, and now that he has a trebuchet, this thing can only be regarded as the icing on the cake.

A few people sat down in the hall, and Ryan looked at Sterling with a smile and said, "Mentor, you've worked hard all the way, and the road is quite peaceful, right?" ”

Sterling still looked like a gentleman, and nodded when he heard this: "I just met some refugees along the way, although there was a little skirmish, but fortunately, it is still under control." ”

"Mother, you may be tired after a long drive, I have already prepared a room for you on the second floor, go and rest first."

Seeing the exhaustion between Kailin Man's eyebrows, Ryan secretly said that he was confused, and hurriedly let them rest, after all, not everyone has the strong physique of a knight.

In the evening, Ryan prepared a small banquet for them, which was mainly attended by military and political dignitaries, so as to let them know that from now on there was a lady and a young lady in Canna.

The next day, Ryan got up early, and he had a lot to do today, the first of which was to count the supplies that Kellenman had brought to see if there was anything useful at the moment.

In addition to weapons and equipment and several large chests of Kindler, what Ryan is looking forward to the most are the "Sound Orb" and magic crystals, and he can't wait to see them since he learned about the magical effects of runes.

There has been no good news about sending Fitlol out to buy it so far, but fortunately, Kaylin Mandodo has been told to buy magic crystals before.

A tightly locked box was opened, revealing a neatly arranged array of magic crystals, and Ryan suddenly smiled, according to Sterling, there are a full fifty magic crystals here!

Naturally, he didn't dare to touch it, the magic crystal was too precious, and if it was absorbed by himself and turned into a source liquid, he would feel a little lost.

"You count out thirty of these magic crystals and send them to Mr. Liman, telling him that he can restart the experiment." Call one of the henchmen and tell him that he must deliver it to Liman with his own hands.

As long as you have magic crystals, those magical runes will work!

Then, he set his sights on the ball, which was the "Sound Orb" that Kaelin Man had spent a lot of money and favors to get from the kingdom's treasury.

Next to the big ball there are five small balls, which are the sub-balls, and the big balls are the cue balls.

The cue ball can send messages to any sub-ball, and even establish message links with other cue balls, but the sub-ball cannot, it can only send messages to the cue ball, and the five sub-balls cannot communicate separately.

Compared with the phone in the previous life, it is naturally far worse, but in this world, this is something that ordinary people can't touch in a lifetime, and even some nobles can't touch it.

With it, Ryan will be able to ensure that five units or individuals can keep in direct contact with him, and the role is naturally needless to say.

In the past, the kingdom was too large and communication was very backward, so there was a feudal system, and the nobles helped the king manage the territory.

"When using, you only need to fill the groove with magic crystals to transmit sound to the sub-ball or cue ball, and the number of uses is not fixed according to the purity and transmission distance, a standard magic crystal of 50% purity, can be used about three times within a thousand miles......"

Ryan is holding this otherworldly version of the "operation manual", his eyes are as wide as copper bells, and a magic crystal can only be used three times?

Grass! Why don't you grab it?

"Alas...... It seems that this thing can't be used in a pinch, and it's too expensive. Ryan let out a long sigh, and though the cost was painful, he still thought it was worth it.

"For the time being, I can only put it in the warehouse and eat ashes."

Putting down the "Operator's Manual", Ryan began to look at the list of supplies that had been almost counted, and after a few glances, he began to marvel at Sterling's unique vision.

Not to mention the pile of all kinds of weapons and equipment drawings, all kinds of precious metals are all urgently needed by Ryan at the moment, and with these things, Liman can start to start the research of [Alchemy Core] again.

In addition, there are other materials, which will not be listed one by one.

After making these things into the warehouse, Ryan hurried to the south of the city, where the families of the soldiers who came with Kailinman were arranged......

In the south of the city, there is a special area, which is named the family area by Ryan, and the people who live here are the families of the two hundred soldiers who followed Ryan at the beginning.

Those more than 200 soldiers were Ryan's original team, and they were also the confidence he had to come to this frontier, and they were his henchmen.

He has always been generous to his own people, and dozens of wooden buildings have been built in the family area, and each family can get a spacious large house, in which all kinds of furniture and bedding are readily available, and they can move in directly.

Lane's arrival unsurprisingly caused a sensation in the family area, and they were already so shocked that they couldn't sleep when they saw the accommodation they had arranged for them yesterday, but they didn't expect the honorable Baron to come to visit them in person early in the morning.

Unlike the original people of Kanna, they had the impression that the nobles were all above the top, and Ryan completely subverted their stereotypes.

"Lords, it's good to see you here safely, I'm your lord, Ryan. Thunder. Black. ”

Looking at the gathered people below, Ryan said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry to let you leave your hometown and come to the edge of the kingdom, but please believe that I have enough ability to ensure the safety of your lives and property."

You will have permanent access to the houses here, and no one will be able to take them back, including me. This is my promise to you.

And, in order to thank the soldiers for their contributions, I promise to give each of you twenty acres of paddy fields, and since the spring ploughing is about to begin, I will send people to help you plough, and I will only harvest 30% of the grain.

The school in the territory is also about to open, as long as the age is right, you can send it to the school to study......"

Ryan spoke eloquently from above, not hurried or slow, but each word landed in the crowd with the same force as a bombshell.

People looked at the tall figure in a daze, and began to doubt their hearing, and some people were even secretly pinching their thighs to see if they were dreaming.

Well, it hurts, it's not a dream.

"Lords, the above is my promise to you as a lord, ready to be fulfilled!

Tonight, prepare a delicious meal and your family will be reunited with you! ”

……

Walking on the way to the laboratory, Ryan's heart was a little heavy, he didn't say a word just now, some people can wait for their families to be reunited, but some families are waiting for cold pensions.

Of the original 200 soldiers, one-fifth were killed, which means that one-fifth of the family lost a pillar.

Ryan didn't know how to comfort them, so he could only do his best to fulfill his promise that the flag of the Black family would always protect them as long as there was one day left!

When he entered the laboratory, Liman was already busy, the floor was messy, all kinds of materials were randomly arranged, and Liman was busy alone as if he didn't see him.

Because the education popularization rate in the territory is too low, Ryan did not assign an assistant to Liman for the time being, after all, the matter of runes should not be publicized, and those who enter the laboratory must be confidants.

Seeing that Liman didn't have time to deal with him, Ryan was not annoyed, and began to look at himself, and gradually he found that although the things on the ground were messy, Liman used them very easily, and he could find the materials or tools he wanted accurately every time.

He held a hammer and an awl, knocked and beat for a while, and finally wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Ryan who was standing on the side, and said expressionlessly: "What are you doing here, I'm very busy now." ”

Looking at his slightly disgusted eyes, Ryan felt that his little heart was deeply stinged, trouble figuring it out, I am your boss!

Just as he was about to speak, the other party directly threw over a silver-white metal plate, and said coldly: "This is the rune I currently master, since you are here, I will take the precious time to tell you about it." ”

Ryan hurriedly caught it, and found that this plate-sized metal plate was actually made of pure Mithril, and he immediately felt a pain in his flesh, and he actually used such a precious metal to solve the problem that a piece of paper could solve.

"Your bankruptcy is justified, and the landlord's old wealth can't stand you doing this."

Ryan complained secretly, but his gaze fell on it, and dozens of runes were neatly arranged on it, each of which was extremely cumbersome and complicated.

He couldn't tell what the runes were, and he couldn't help but look at Liman, who had changed his beard again.

"The first one is the [Channeling Rune], and the second is the [Spreading Rune] I have made them the two basic runes, because compared to other runes, they are indispensable, and they are used in many places."

Liman scratched at his messy hair and pointed to the first two characters on the Mithril plate.

Ryan suddenly found that the [Spreading Rune] he had seen, at the scene of the explosion that day, the lines on those fragments were full of this kind of rune, originally he thought it was just a decorative pattern, but he didn't expect it to be a rune.

According to Liman, he understands these two runes as valves and "wires", with the magic crystal being the power source, the [Channeling Rune] acting as a power switch, and the [Sprawl Rune] as a "wire" that transmits energy and activates the other runes.

In order to make Ryan, the "big injustice", more willing to pay for it, Liman also showed him the magic of runes on the spot, only to see him take out a metal plate and quickly carve a few runes on it with a hammer and an awl.

Then he took out a magic crystal and inlaid it into the groove made in advance, which was engraved with the [Guide Rune], and the moment the magic crystal was inlaid, the faint light that the magic crystal originally emitted began to flicker slightly.

A white point of light began to spread at a speed visible to the naked eye along the line engraved with the [Spreading Rune], and the line turned crystal white wherever it passed.

The point of light quickly spread to a rune, and the originally ordinary rune was instantly activated, blooming with a hazy white light. The point of light did not stop, and continued to move forward, activating the last rune, and the white light emitted by the previous rune suddenly skyrocketed in brightness, becoming bright and dazzling.

At this point, in Lane's view, the palm-sized metal plate in Liman's hand was no different from an incandescent light bulb.

"It's ......"

"This is a low-level use of runes, which is no longer a superficial application of a single rune, but a combination of multiple runes, which I call a concatenation.

The one that emitted the light was the [Fluorescent Rune], which could only emit a faint light, which was smaller than the light emitted by the candle.

But I added a [Powerful Rune] to it, which increased its effect several times, and now the light emitted by the [Fluorescent Rune] is enough to illuminate a room.

If there are enough magic crystals, we can use this instead of candle lighting. ”

Liman pulled out the magic crystal, before the [Alchemy Core] was not successful, energy was a big problem, so if you can save it, you can save it.

"Isn't this just an electric light?" Ryan was shocked in his heart, and soon found something corresponding to it, he didn't expect that he had just fooled him with Edison's story before, and in a blink of an eye, he would easily make the "electric light".

There are not so many complicated steps, just a metal plate and a magic crystal, which can be described as simple to the extreme, and the power of rune technology has already unfolded in front of Lane's eyes.

Of course, the current disadvantages are also obvious, and it is naturally unrealistic for such a precious thing as magic crystals to be used for lighting, and it is even more impossible to popularize it.

"Energy...... when will the [Alchemy Core] be redesigned?" Ryan let out a long sigh, energy is now their biggest shortcoming, and they are afraid to do anything.

"As long as you give enough resources, you can start again at any time, and I already have some ideas on how to turn the magic of chaos into pure magic."

Liman scratched at his messy hair and spread his hands.

"Resources aren't a problem now, but I think you don't have to think about this in such a hurry, but think about how to control the output, and control those crystals not to explode."

Ryan waved his hand generously, and after seeing the magic of the runes, he no longer cared about the investment.

"That explosion was just an accident, don't worry, I will never blow it up again." Liman's face darkened, and he thought that Ryan was admonishing him, and his tone couldn't help but be a little unhappy, the explosion had always been a sore spot for him.

"No, no, no, Master Liman, you're mistaken. I need those crystals with the magic of chaos, because I think they should be able to do something else. ”

Ryan also heard the sound outside the strings and hurriedly explained.

Maybe it was because he explained in time, or maybe it was the "master", in short, Liman's face suddenly turned cloudy, and he scratched his hair and said, "What do you want that kind of failure?" ”
