95, 96. Ben Kaul who followed in the footsteps of his ancestors

No one cares why the freshly served pot of stewed elbows is only half left, just as no one questions why Wendy dares to go straight to Rand.

"Sir, you mean, this jar was just made by Wendy in the afternoon?"

"To be exact, the rune part, the jar is ready-made"

"Oh my God" Mace Maned Wolf looked at Pete and Pity, and then said in the affirmative, "Then Wendy is definitely a genius magician, and it is difficult for any high-level mage I have ever seen to depict a successful magic pattern at one time, let alone assemble a magic pattern."

When shopping during the day, Rand found that items with magic patterns are very expensive, for example, it is generally believed that the runes drawn by magicians before the high level generally cost about 1 gold coin and the cost of 1 catty coin, but in reality, all magic patterns have a high premium.

Magic Pattern products are at least 1-5 gold coins more expensive than the same non-Magic Pattern product, and for some products with multiple magic patterns, it is common to pay 10 gold coins, because the probability of a mage being able to successfully draw 2 magic patterns is very low, and the scrap rate of drawing two magic patterns on the same item is even higher.

Because of this, very few people can afford a jar with 2 magic patterns unless there is a special need.

The product is a good product, but there is no market, Rand understood what Mace meant, but Rand was not in a hurry, after all, Wendy could not only draw heated magic patterns on the jar.

After analysis, Metz found a very marketable direction: low-temperature seafood clay pots.

For the nobles of Maned Wolf City and many dragon kingdoms, how to transport seafood at a low cost is something that has always bothered them, because there are only a few buildings dedicated to teleportation in each city, and the portals in these buildings need to be prioritized for the distribution of the gods and the legendary messengers, the nobles from all over the world, and military transfers, while the seafood by the sea takes at least a few hours from reaching the harbor to the table of the nobles.

Therefore, according to Mace, it is possible to make a special chilled clay pot, equipped with purifying magic patterns and cooling magic patterns, which are specially used to store seafood and ice cubes.

Mace's argument gave Rand an idea to make a special seafood crate, which could directly preserve the cold seawater with purification and cooling magic patterns, and store live fish in the seawater, as long as the live fish could be made for more than 2 hours, the nobles should be able to spend more gold coins to buy live seafood.

A group of people at the dinner table were chatting about the future product direction of the little genius drawn by the magic pattern, and at this moment, Rand even felt that except for Neil, who had no idea because Makoto was not there, everyone else at the table had become product managers, and they were constantly drawing cakes for Wendy.

"My lord, there is a mage master outside, saying that he wants to see you," a cavalryman came to report

"Oh, did he say what his name was?"

"Ben Kaul"

"Oh, I remember, please come in" Rand knew that it was the cousin of Bert Kaul Paladin, who had said that he was already in Mane Wolf City, and now he must have come to prepare to go to the Galloping Horse Plains from Rot's territory.

It didn't take long for Ben Kaul to enter the dining room, like a standard mid-level magician, with a face in his 30s, black eyes, golden hair covered by a hat on the mage's robe, and a height of about 2.4 meters was very slender, but there was no trace of weakness.

According to the Paladin, Ben Kaul was constantly traveling because he was unable to enter the Magic Tower to continue his studies while in the Imperial Capital.

is also an intermediate, Rand is still a knight lord, it stands to reason that Ben should say hello to Rand first, but seeing that Ben didn't mean that, Rand didn't get angry.

"Master Ben, welcome to Viscount Roth and the Plains of the Galloping Horses."

"Oh, thank you, Lord Viscount," Ben was staring at Rand as soon as he entered, "may I ask you, is your surname galloping?" ”

"Of course, the territory of Rott and the territory of the galloping horse are both family, and I inherited as Viscount Rot because there was no heir after the death of Viscount Lot" This set of words is the official statement confirmed by Rand and Huck after communication, so that Rand as a middle-level knight, he can rightfully inherit Viscount Roth's territory, and in addition, the Dragon Kingdom will also owe Rand a military merit because of this.

"No wonder, I knew a knight who came to the imperial capital to study, his name is Albert Galloping Horse, do you know him?"

"Of course, he's my uncle and a scholar in our realm."

"Oh," Ben's eyes lit up at once, "and I'll say you look very familiar, but I can't think of where we've seen each other. ”

"I was friends with Albert back then, and he was also a celebrity at the time."

"Can a junior knight become a celebrity?" Rand thought, not daring to speak.

"You can ask him, he once walked through the Tower of Purity alone and talked to a few legends, but he shocked our school of magic."

"Really? He never told us about it."

"Maybe in Albert's opinion, not being able to bring the help of the imperial capital to his family is not very successful for him, so he doesn't want to talk about it."

"Well, that's right."

For the two, with a common topic like Albert, a lot of content is easier to talk about.

Rand tells Ben about his journey from the Plains of the Galloping Horse and his plans to explore the future of Night Kirk.

"So, you really made that group of barbarians believe in the God Emperor?"

"Yes, I think that since they have to believe in a god, then let them believe in the god of the human race." Rand said it was commonplace.

"The God Emperor, he doesn't mind having more believers, does he?"

Ben looked at the bold lord in front of him, "It's hard to say! ”

"Huh?"

"Although the Divine Emperor has countless followers, the only ones who are truly qualified to receive His favor are those who abide by the rules of knights or magicians."

I knew that the four sons of the border baron in front of me didn't know anything, and they didn't have any concept of religion.

"Although these barbarian demon supporters of yours now believe in the God Emperor, they don't know the power and priesthood of the God Emperor at all, and they don't know the rules and guidelines, if such a so-called believer enters the inland of the human race, they will only be considered a false religion by the God Temple Alliance."

"Well, I haven't thought about this, but now the barbarians in my territory know the priesthood and power of His Majesty the God Emperor."

"Oh"

"Wright Doriner, the priest in my domain, has been spreading His faith, and we have made His miracles into songs."

"Duo Reiner," Ben reminisced about the family name that belonged to the papal family, "and there is a priest in your domain?" ”

"Yes, he is an ascetic who volunteered to go to the salt mines, and after I took the people of the salt mines south, he volunteered to join my team."

"So that's the case, but even so, you have to manage these barbarian subordinates well, the inland of the human race is no better than the galloping horse grassland, and you must not kill without permission."

"Oh, oh, good" At this moment, Rand felt that what was in front of him was simply his own mentor, rather than an intermediate mage who wanted to defect to him. ”

"By the way, Ben, have you eaten? Would you like some of my new pork? ”

"You... Done? Ben looked at Rand quizzically.

Ben Kaul's evaluation of the food made by Rand is decent, and he thinks it tastes good, but the oil is too big and the salt is too much.

"What kind of rich and noble family does this have to be in order to pay attention to light food in the process of wandering around." Rand thought to himself, but said on his lips, "No way, we used to eat mutton every day on the plains, this is not a change of taste." ”

"You wouldn't use such a luxurious jar for a change of taste, even if you were a viscount, you wouldn't use such a jar with a double magic pattern to make ordinary food, right?"

"This isn't your average jar for heating magic patterns, look at this lid."

"This lid ... These magic patterns? Sure enough, the connoisseur knew if there was one as soon as he got started, and Ben twisted it to know the small idea of the lid of this jar.

"You bought this from the Blue Dragon Family?" Ben didn't even think that this Maned Wolf City could have goods.

"How much do you think I spent on this jar?"

"If the Blue Dragon family sells you more than 5 gold coins, you will be too wronged."

"I'm going to buy a crisper with 2-3 magic patterns, that's about what it looks like," Rand said as he fetched a pen and paper from Ben Kaul, drawing Ben Kaul's vision of a crisper for seafood.

"Your container is so complicated, I'm afraid each side needs about 3 magic patterns to achieve, so it's at least hundreds of gold coins."

"100 gold coins?" Mace on the side said in surprise, "Is it so expensive?" ”

"Then it depends on whether the blue dragon sells you or not, I haven't seen a similar container on the market, but in recent years, the nobles of Dragon Tooth City have become more distant, if you are not the supplier of the blue dragon's salt, you will definitely not be able to buy this kind of container."

"Okay, Wendy, I'll give you 100 gold coins, and you can buy magic ink as you like, as long as you can make this fresh container before I come back, we will split the profit of every container sold in the future."

"Huh?" Ben Kaul looked at Rand in shock, and then in Rand's explanation, he was even more shocked to learn that the clay pot with two magic patterns in his hand was made by the girl in front of him who only had the level of mage apprentice, and the girl only failed twice in the production process.

"You've really acquired a genius magician," Ben said while carefully observing the magic patterns on the clay pot in his hand, "This kind of magic pattern that can be assembled and spliced is a great test of the painter's spatial thinking ability and basic drawing skills. ”

"Wendy is a genius, of course." Rand was very happy, "Not only Wendy, but Lili, Sophia, Joni, and Firefly also have a talent for strong magic. ”

"Then you've really picked up a baby"

"It's not enough to just pick up treasures, beautiful gems need to be polished and planed before they can be placed on the crown, and I have these potential apprentices on my side, but I can only let them carve these simplest magic patterns."

"You're right, so it's best to send them to a big city magic school to study, because those magic schools can provide them with a solid foundation of magic, so that they can develop better in the future." Ben was serious, and even Rand felt that Ben was right.

At this time, Wendy, who was still sitting, suddenly got up, "My lord, you saved us, we are willing to follow you, and we will not go anywhere else!" Then he left.

"Hey, Wendy, you wait for me." Lili didn't care about anything else, and went straight out

Fireflies, who were the last to leave, saluted Rand, "My lord, let's go with Wendy to see if we can make the crisper container you want, and as for going to school in other cities, I think it's okay to forget it." ”

The departure of the girls seemed to put an end to a sumptuous dinner, and then Rand's two brothers and several knights also took off, and Rand had to invite Ben Kaul to the lord's room for a one-on-one conversation.

Rand knew that several girls were so resistant to going to school in the big city because of their experiences.

To put it bluntly, in the school supported by the great nobles, the main task of the children of the nobility is to get married, know the relationship, and continue the bloodline and connections.

One can imagine Wendy's resistance to going to school.

However, in Ben Kaul's eyes, Wendy is loyal to her lord, and if the girls are allowed to see the magic of magic, their natural magisters will know that a viscount cannot support their resource needs for magical exploration.

"As you can see, these children's previous school experiences have had some impact on them." Once in the lord's room, Rand said.

If the right opportunity arises, I'll send them to a big city to attend a magic school, but before that happens, I'd like you to mentor them more. ”

"I will, but I still hope you will consider sending him to the big city, I believe that with the guidance of the Magister, Wendy will become a high-level mage in 10 years, and if she can get the guidance of the legend, it will only be faster."

Well, in Lanter's view, Ben Kaul's words mean that if you can be a student of an academician, you will definitely be a professor in the future.

It's really worthy of the abundance of paladins and mages in the family, and he doesn't talk at all. Rand mocked the mage in front of him in his heart, and suddenly remembered.

"By the way, your surname is Kaul, and your ancestor is the disciple of the God Emperor, His Excellency the Legendary Mage Kaul?"

"Yes, the fifteenth grandson of my Excellency Kaul."

"Oh, look up for a long time, I'll just say that I always feel like you're kind." Rand hugged his thighs without any psychological burden.

According to Ben Kaul, Night Kir City is a city built by ancient civilizations on the Galloping Horse Plain, connecting the subcontinent where the Terrans are now located, and the central mountain range at the core of the continent.

And this city has completely passed through the god-descended civilization, goblin civilization, orc civilization and human civilization, and these civilizations have left a large number of magical relics in the city.

The ancestor of the Kaul family, the legendary rune mage and disciple of the God Emperor, His Excellency Kaul, lived in Night Qicheng for several years before he came to the legend, specializing in the magical relics in the city, and participated in the reconstruction of Qicheng on Chinese New Year's Eve.

That's why Ben Kaul wants to return to the City of Night Qiqi and follow in the footsteps of his ancestors.

"I will do everything I can to support your exploration, but I hope you will share your research with me when you leave."

"Yes, I'll copy all the runes and circles I can read so that your subordinates can learn from them later," Ben said, "But I suggest you go to the Imperial Capital to find some magicians who are interested in going to the Galloping Horse Plains, I'm afraid the magicians of the Dragon Kingdom are not interested in a remote territory like the Galloping Horse Plains." ”

Rand knew that Ben was telling the truth, that mages and priests were rare in the entire Galloping Plains and the Northwest Territories, and that before meeting Gandalf and Wright, Rand only knew that there were mages and priests in Maned Wolf City, who were kept by the Earl's family.

The turbulence of magic on the Plains of the Galloping Horse will affect the growth of magic plants, the absorption of potions, the use of magic, and the growth of magicians, and it is basically a forbidden area for magicians, and only people like Gandalf and Wright, who take pleasure in penance, can come over voluntarily.
