In mid-May, the sun was scorching and cloudless.

"Sir, will you need such a large amount next time?" Fitrol frowned and looked at the list in his hand, feeling a little tricky.

"Yes, Lord Fitrol, you should have also understood, green sugar is now selling well all over the province of Green, we are exploring the market outside the province, we need to get more good goods."

The caravan leader sent by Chels was a somewhat chubby middle-aged man, with a simple face, and his speech was like a spring breeze, which was very attractive to people.

Fitlor knocked on the table, as the treasurer, he was in charge of the territory's export trade, and he had always been personally responsible for the most stable source of income now.

Ryan and Hevean also trusted him and never interfered too much in his decisions, only this time he suddenly felt a little unable to make up his mind.

The other party asked for 3,000 pounds of green sugar this month, which is still within a reasonable range, and it will be rushed out after a little overtime, after all, the green cane has also reached the time of large-scale growth in this season, and the raw materials have been unrestricted.

That's a big deal of 150 Kindlers.

But next month, they actually need 10,000 pounds, which is already the minimum amount in the contract for half a year, and the current production capacity of Kana is completely insufficient, so they can only expand the scale, and it is at least three times the scale.

The larger the scale, the worse the secrecy, Now many people have begun to suspect that if it expands, I am afraid that there is a risk of exposure, this is a cash cow, how can it be easily revealed?

Seeing that Fitlol was a little hesitant, the fat merchant naturally knew his doubts, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "My lord, our lord is willing to pay five thousand Jindeler to buy the secret recipe for sugar making, do you want to consider it?" When the time comes, we will accept the goods on your side as usual, and you don't have to worry about the leakage of the secret recipe, right? ”

When Fitrol heard this, he immediately refused, what a joke, if it was expanded to a scale of 10,000 pounds a month, as long as it generated more than the five thousand Jindeler in a year.

"Sir, go back and wait for news, we will provide you with at least five thousand pounds of goods next month."

Fitlore stood up and said sincerely.

After the caravan left, he immediately came to the castle to discuss with Ryan, this month's 10,000 pounds is 500 Jindler, the temptation is too great, who doesn't want to go up and take a bite?

"Triple the size?" Ryan groaned slightly, he stood up and looked out the window at the cement road that had been built, this was the beginning of construction, but it would not be the end, he needed money, lots and lots of money.

"Fitrol, pass the order, gather all the slaves in the territory, build two sugar mills in the south of the city, still adopt the principle of separating the juice and boiling the soup, and keep it strictly confidential, and increase the output as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir. It's just that this will make our consumption of green cane reach a staggering nearly 70,000 pounds per month, and the existing storage is simply not enough. ”

Fitlore was overjoyed, but then threw out a real problem, green cane grows fast is one thing, but it is still necessary to organize people to cut it, and it is easy to deteriorate in the summer heat, so it cannot be stored in large quantities, which means that it has to be cut and squeezed every day.

"This is not a problem, and the mayors of each town are given orders to buy green cane at the price of five copper per day, and each town buys five thousand pounds, a total of forty thousand pounds, and the other thirty thousand pounds are to be purchased in the city."

This can be regarded as an increase in income for the people, don't look at the five coppers are very few, in the past, that thing was worthless, and even if Ryan didn't give them a penny, he would only stare dryly.

When I come back from farm work every day, I can cut a dozen pounds, which is enough for the family to eat and wear.

"You mean, you see a road that looks like a stone but is a whole?"

Chels sat in his study, his expression full of curiosity, he couldn't imagine what it was.

The fat merchant who had just returned from Dorman City nodded and said, "Yes, sir, it's grayish-white, it's very smooth, it's very hard to step on, I made people hit it with a hammer, hey, it's like a stone."

There are two in the city, they call them cement roads, and it is said that they are also preparing to pave such roads between the various towns and villages, and the cost should not be very high. ”

Chels raised an eyebrow, dirt roads and stone roads are naturally two different concepts to use, and the same road can save at least a third or more time.

"This kid, it's really getting more and more interesting, the same territory, you say it's strange, isn't it strange, why are the previous lords getting poorer and poorer, and he has the same good things here?"

The fat merchant narrowed his eyes with a smile when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Baron Blake is naturally different from others, that is the person you value, sir." ”

"Hahaha, you. I've worked hard for you this time, but I can't rest yet, hurry up and send the goods out, nearly half of the nobles in the province are waiting. ”

Chels smiled and nodded at the fat merchant, then waved him back down, staring at the bookshelf, not knowing what he was thinking.

……

The sugar mill is being expanded in an orderly manner, and the construction team is using magical "sand magic" to start building roads from Dorman City to eight other towns, aiming to get rid of the mud roads within a year.

There is also good news from the papermaking workshop, there has been a new progress in papermaking, just wait for the next batch of raw materials to soak before you can start a large amount of papermaking, when the time will be wiped with paper butt will become a reality.

Movable type printing was delayed last time and only started a few days ago, so there is no progress for the time being, but compared to papermaking, it should be a lot easier.

On the last night of May, Ryan, who was meditating and cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes, and the dragon crystal in his mind was spinning wildly, but those purple mist were constantly being pulled away by something.

A fine light erupted in his eyes, and this feeling was that the [Alchemy Core] had been activated!

"Liman succeeded." He hurriedly dressed up, and as soon as he opened the door, Anna, the head maid who was in a daze at the door, was startled.

"Master, what do you command?"

Anna hurriedly bowed down, she was only a teenager, not as old as Lane, not very pretty, with a few freckles on her face, and dressed in a decent maid's dress.

It's strange to say that she became the head maid of the Black family at such a young age?

"Alas, call me young master, am I that old?" The corners of Ryan's mouth twitched, and the people who were trained by the old butler Deman were used to calling him master, and he didn't change his teaching, obviously he was still a sunny boy in his twenties.

"Yes, sir." She replied crisply, and then began to be in a daze.

Ryan: "......"

Looking up at the sky and sighing, he had a feeling that the future was very likely to be the new housekeeper of the family, and he had a gloomy future.

He couldn't help but want to complain about his dead ghost father's eyes, what kind of person did he choose, how did Deman and Anna feel that their heads were not very bright, they wanted to be loyal and loyal, and they wanted to be wise and loyal......

"Alright, I'm going out tonight, you can go back and rest." Sighing, he still chose to give up the struggle.

"Yes, sir." Anna nodded heavily, and then continued to be in a daze.

Seeing this, Ryan's temples protruded, and he turned his head and left, grandma drop, do you have anti-bones on all of your bodies?

He didn't call anyone, and rushed to the laboratory as fast as he could.

As soon as he opened the door to the laboratory, he was shocked by the scene before him, Liman with his arms held high and his expression frenzied and crazy.

In front of him was a round ball with a diameter of more than half a meter, the ball was spinning wildly, and there was a big hole in the roof of the house, and wisps of light were falling from the hole like a ribbon, and were absorbed by the ball.

Beneath the orb was a device that looked like a metal cabinet, and on its somewhat rough surface, streaks of light spread along the carved runes, and then opened abruptly.

Inside were rows of blank crystals, about two hundred, which were originally unremarkable, but they glowed with colorful light because of a rainbow of light injected into them.

"This ...... Is it an artificial magic crystal? ”

In Ryan's mind, the dragon crystal rotated wildly, absorbing the purple mist several times faster than usual, and at this rate, four or five drops of source liquid would be condensed in a day, which was enough to prove the richness of the magic here.

"That's right, this is the magic crystal full of chaos magic, I've mastered the most suitable output, I'm thinking correctly! That's right! Hahaha......"

Liman's eyes sparkled, and he laughed a little with his hands, which looked unusually crazy against his raunchy face.

Soon, the high-speed spinning ball gradually stopped, and the fully charged magic crystal fell into the box below, making a crisp sound.

Liman walked over and picked one up and put it in front of his eyes carefully, unlike the pure magic crystal, it was a colorful light, and he could feel the destructive power that existed in it that was compressed to the extreme.

"As long as I transform these magic powers, I can be completely successful, and rune technology can shine in my hands!" Liman stared at the crystal in his hand, the frenzy in his eyes not dissipating in the slightest.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Ryan clapped his palms heavily and said with a smile: "Congratulations to you, Master Liman, you have taken another step on the road of searching for the truth, and I believe that you will succeed sooner or later." ”

"Hmph, that's not far from it." Liman snorted arrogantly, and the frenzy in his eyes finally subsided, and it was no longer like knocking on a fake drug.

"In this way, the crystal bomb can also start experimenting." He asked expectantly.

"Hmph, that thing is not difficult in the first place, as long as the theoretical basis is correct, there is no need for experimentation at all."

Liman carefully placed the crystal in the box, then picked up a round metal jar from the workbench and gave it to him.

The entire metal can is made of black iron, with a diameter of about ten centimeters and a thickness of five centimeters, which is a little higher than a crystal. One end is detachable, and when you open it, you can see simple runes carved inside.

The other end is attached to a longer handle, which Ryan grasps with one hand.

"This is the container engraved with [Concussive Rune], which can hold five crystals arranged in a circle, with a groove in the middle facing the handle, where magic crystals can be placed as energy.

It's the smallest size, and theoretically you can make it as big as you want, but I don't recommend going too big, because the consequences of a mistake can be devastating.

It's very simple to use, put the crystal in, hold the handle and throw it out after it is fully enclosed, but you can't let it be violently hit before throwing it out, otherwise...... Hehe. Liman sneered a few times, a little mad.

Ryan looked at this shape, it did have a certain resemblance to the wooden-handled grenade in his previous life, and he couldn't help but be a little curious about the power of the five chaotic magic crystals.

He looked at Liman, and as if he knew what he was thinking, he grabbed a few crystals from the box and said, "You can find a place to try it now, anyway, you won't be afraid of revealing anything at night." ”

Ryan nodded, expecting it as they cleaned up and ended up on a wasteland miles away from Dorman City.

He estimated that the explosion of this thing would definitely be not small, so he kept as far away as possible from the gathering point of people, so as not to cause panic.

Since he wants to experiment with power, he naturally has to have an object, and he finally set his sights on a few large stones in the distance, if these stones can be blown up, then let alone people, the monster will have to be placed there in the east and west.

In order to verify the scope of the explosion, he also specially moved the stones down and placed them in different positions, and hundreds of pounds of stones were not a problem for him.

"Master Liman, what do you think is the right distance?"

"My advice is to go as far as possible, it's a weapon that has never been seen before, and it's always right to be careful."

Ryan nodded when he heard this, and walked more than a hundred meters away from the stone, with his strong arm strength, the crystal bomb weighing less than two pounds could hit accurately in this position.

After placing the five chaotic magic crystals in the container, and finally placing the energy into the groove engraved with the [Guiding Rune], the bottom of the container instantly emitted a faint light, which was the activation of the [Concussion Rune].

Carefully close the lid above the container, and this is a complete crystal bomb.

Taking a deep breath, he threw it out with all his might, and the bomb made a graceful appearance in the air in the dim moonlight, and landed heavily next to the central stone.

The moment it landed, the [Concussion Rune] engraved at the bottom began to flicker violently, emitting a shock wave that was invisible to the naked eye, and the space seemed to ripple.

A small area of shock waves covered the six crystals, including the energy source, at the first time, and the outer walls cracked in an instant, and colorful light bloomed......

"Boom ......"

There was a loud bang, and Liman only felt a "buzz" in his ears, and the bright light illuminated the surrounding space, and the violent and chaotic magical power was released in one go.

A colorful ball of light changed from small to large, instantly enveloping a range of more than ten meters in diameter.

For a moment, the sand and rocks flew away, and the sound waves generated by the explosion lifted all the turf on the ground, and Ryan forced himself to endure the dazzling light to look over, and several stones turned into dust in an instant......

After the explosion, Ryan looked at the crater and the pile of missing rocks, and froze......
