On the afternoon of the 21st, in the Magic Tower of the Star Society, Ben Kaul met his teacher, Klein.

Ever since Ben brought the Exquisite Ball Circle, the entire circle has been running in Klein's meditation room, even though each of the original Exquisite Orbs has been replaced by the core made by the legendary mage himself, and is displayed in the cabinet next to it, as the only set of students' works, and the preference is self-evident.

"Teacher, I heard that Rand and Sir Hanfei Abboti have a code?" As soon as he saw Klein, Ben began to inquire about the situation in the Great Council.

"That kid seems to have an appetite for him," Klein nodded, "The good news is that the protection policy of the Galloping Horse Plains will soon come down, and today that girl spent a few hours dizzying the people on the scene, and no one wants to entangle her." ”

"Great," Ben smiled unkindly, "I knew that the future of the cardinal was limitless." ”

"But there are two pieces of bad news," the smile on Mage Crane's lips faded, "Today, the installation of the No. 3 test furnace on the side of the Salt and Iron Division also failed, and the situation is similar to before. ”

"Is that ......possible?" was the teacher's habitual guess interrupted before he could say anything.

"Sophia, Wendy, and Warea were all on the scene, and the circumstances of the accident were very similar to the June 23 accident that you and Teferi described......"

"They're not hurt, are they?" Ben blurted out without listening to what was going on.

"There are more demigods and legends on the scene than mages, and it's not their turn to have an accident," Klein looked at his beloved disciple and smiled, "It's the first time I've seen you care so much about a high-level mage." ”

Klein didn't go on, in fact, the situation was much worse, although there were a large number of magisters and legends present, but the magic elements resonated with the energy in the magma, and the layers of magic shields almost failed to block the bursting magic elements, although there were various suppression circles inside the mountain, no one could think of operating them.

In the end, it was Queen Tania who came from the magic net and manipulated the magic net to absorb the excess magic power, otherwise the few girls in front of the magic furnace, even the legends on the side, I am afraid that there will be problems.

"They're all rare seedlings," Ben was a little ashamed to interrupt the teacher, "what do you think is the reason?" ”

Crane let out a long sigh, "I'm afraid, Rand Galloping Horse is not only a family member of the Queen of the Demon Net, but also a family member of the Goddess of the Demon Net. ”

"This?" Ben looked at the teacher with wide eyes, Wei Li, the god of the jade moon who was in charge of the magic net, had never been a human dependent, but it could be explained when he came in this way, "That is to say, it is not the problem of the magic furnace, but the person who connected to the magic furnace, and it was because of the authorization of Wei Li himself that Lan was able to connect the magic furnace to the magic net?" ”

Ben's mind was racing, if Rand was a goddess, when did Willy fall in love with him? On the day of Tenya's accession to the throne, Willy didn't say anything.

Ben, who had been thinking for a moment, suddenly thought, "Could it be that Willy coming?" That time before Tynia ascended the throne? It is said that at that time Rand took her up the ladder of the moon god. ”

"I'm afraid that's the time," Klein nodded calmly, and then took out a large stack of various secretaries from the space ring, from heavy magic books, to clay tablets to metal plates, there are dozens of them, "I went to Madame Thistle to check it out, in human records, no one has ever been able to climb the Steps of the Moon God with the magic goblin, and the few attempts have ended in miserable failures." ”

Then a metal plate stands out from the books and floats to Ben's eyes, and on the board is a simple drawing of a humanoid creature climbing a ladder under the moon under the gaze of many of its peers.

"Coincidentally, in the oldest legends, there is a very similar record, which is at least 30,000 years ago, the record of the goblin civilization,...... "As the gods involved, the voices between the legends became quieter and quieter, and they became closer and closer to being transmitted directly in the magic web."

The god of goblin craftsmen, in the gaze of the entire civilization, was invited by the moon god to ascend to the jade moon, and then the goblin civilization advanced by leaps and bounds, becoming the second civilization to look down on the world after the god race, whether it is elves, orcs or humans, they can only live in the city of goblins.

"Does Rand know that he is the only builder of the Magic Furnace?" Although he was prepared, the glimpse of the old god's will still made Ben a little nervous.

"Then I don't know, but some of the old gods definitely know, such as the goddess of wealth and commerce," Klein pressed his eyebrows with his right hand, "The second bad news, Red Dragon Rock has just ordered materials for 10 magic furnaces from the Salt and Iron Division, and six of them have already paid Rand for installation and magic patterns. ”

"Why is this bad news?"

"Because the original plan of the Ministry of Finance was to use this rand to come to the imperial capital and negotiate a magic furnace deal with him: the rand will produce the magic furnace, and the finance department will install it with full authority, and the plan of the finance department is to install 800 magic furnaces first and plug the hole in the galloping horse fund." Klein knew that the Finance Department was paying attention to Rand's fight, but he hadn't told Ben or Rand before, so he wanted the Finance Department to try his luck.

"However, Honglongyan provided him with a large amount of money to use as the circulating currency in the Galloping Horse Plain, it doesn't matter how much money there is, the important thing is that the goddess of commerce directly reached an agreement with him, which means that the plan of the Imperial Finance Department to let him work may not work."

"The Department of Finance? Want to get Rand to work for the day? Ben Kaul was a little angry, in essence, he was also a link in the magic furnace industry chain, which meant that the Finance Department also wanted to let him work for a day job.

"At the very least, I want Rand to fight for a while, and then discuss the rest of the matter after he is legendary," Klein shook his head, "I guess they are also out of luck, do you know how much money there is still in the Galloping Horse Fund?" Originally, the three magic furnaces mortgaged by the fund could be exchanged for a maximum of 7.5 million gold coins, but now they have been blown to a scale of nearly two billion,"

When it came to the Galloping Horse Fund, Crane's face was obviously not good-looking, "All the magic workshops invested by the fund will get more orders, and they will also be followed up and invested by more legendary families, although the value of the workshop is rising, but the core magister in the workshop will not recruit new high-level to produce together and create more magic products."

In other words, the money from the Galloping Horse Fund is not an investment in the expansion of the production of the Magic Workshop, but becomes some kind of early reward for the Magisters in the Workshop. ”

"The situation of the Galloping Horse Fund, the Ministry of Finance should have known it for a long time, right?" This is the first time Ben has heard the teacher explain the plight of the Galloping Horse Fund so clearly.

"It must be clear, the Ministry of Finance has long understood, but the Department of Finance has no right to choose, all the resource allocation of the empire will eventually be divided according to the possession of the magic furnace by each region, unless there is a major war, otherwise the empire's finances will continue to develop to fragmentation." As the eldest disciple of the God Emperor, Crane is very clear about the current problems of the empire, which also makes him very ambivalent about the fund.

"As a financial instrument, the Galloping Horse Fund has raised a large amount of gold coins from outside the imperial capital, so that the power of the empire can override the localities."

"If it weren't for the Galloping Horse Fund, the various families would definitely not take out the gold coins and hand them over to the imperial capital, and the empire would become more and more fragmented, whether it was the goblin civilization, the orc royal court, the elven alliance or the human empire, all of them were in a similar predicament."

When Ben heard this, he also fell into contradictions, and after a long time, he asked, "So can the chief financial officer solve the existing problems of the empire?" ”

Klein shook his head: "How is it possible, he is the grandson of the God Emperor, he was cultivated according to the emperor, and he is not familiar with the economy. ”

"Then the chief secretary of the Ministry of Finance should always have a way, right?"

"I'm afraid it's even more unlikely, he's an economist." Klein smiled bitterly, "Maybe I should suggest that Rand Galloping Horse try it at the Treasury Department, after all, he is a brute." ”
