I still haven't finished it, I'm guilty......
I'll change it
————
High school...... Or is it the physical geography of junior high school or something, it seems that it has not been completely returned to the teacher?
So Edward remembered in a trance, marble, white marble, these things are all associated stones of calcium carbonate...... It is also a high-quality decorative material. Even the materials for the floors and some of the doors in the mage academy are made of this kind of thing, not to mention the mirror-like smooth floors and walls that the temples must have in order to display the brilliance of the gods.
And then there are the statues of the gods, a half-man tall statue of a god inlaid with turquoise stones, which can be sold for at least a few hundred gold coins, and it takes only someone to mine it and a craftsman for half a month. Well, if you want, a mage can actually produce a finished product in a matter of minutes, but Edward is not in the mood to let mages compete with civilians for profit.
As for the technical problems of the quarry...... Well, he had visited that place when he was a kid, and all it needed was hammer chisel and gunpowder, didn't he?
"First of all, we're going to build a quarry on this site and get some people to work there, mining marble and other stones. The daily salary is up to you, and the other thing is to look among the half-elves, whether they have learned to carve, to paint, in short, let them be responsible for carving all kinds of gods, to be a little more fine, through the Guò Lino Bili Chamber of Commerce to sell, I think they will be very willing to buy. Edward pulled out a parchment map of the territory: "If you really don't have one, let the people of the Chamber of Commerce find a group of people who are good at carving." The rest can give them a hands-on learning. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
"In addition, you sue Sù Meliane and send down the settling-in allowance of two gold coins per person, and then. Start buying and selling grain, the price is ...... It will be enough to use the lowest price, and at the same time change the original place of food distribution in my name to two or three bakeries, as well as restaurants and lodgings, and charge one gold coin per month. After one year, it can be owned by the individual. At the same time, the various material collection locations began to pay wages, and I don't care how you set the price, but it must be reasonable, at least to ensure that each person's monthly work can ensure that the family can have a surplus while having three meals and shelter. As for those who have received money but do not want to work, they can naturally be distinguished after spending all the money, of course, those who are old and sick, and the like, who have lost their labor force. If there is no one to feed them, find them a separate place to ensure their food, clothing, shelter and transportation. ”
"Yes...... You are truly the most merciful lord I have ever met. The old blacksmith complimented awkwardly. Then he seemed to remember what to do and untied a leather pocket around his waist: "By the way, my lord, the Lino Bili Chamber of Commerce just delivered another batch of goods." Among them are the spices that you have told you before, and I have brought them to you. ”
"Spices...... Oh. Alright," opened the bag casually, and the mixed scent made Edward sniffle, and stopped the old man who was about to leave, "Find the butcher in the city, and get me some mutton." ”
......
"Alas...... It's so comfortable......" Edward took a deep breath as he shoved a chopstick of red, green and green into his mouth, feeling the stimulation that filled his entire nasal cavity, and let out a long sigh of satisfaction. Then he picked up a plate and poured the lettuce into the pot, the red grease was tumbling, and the black, brown and yellow things were floating in this pot, and the spicy aroma diffused in the surrounding air.
Not only is it fragrant, but the color is also very beautiful.
Edward stirred it with two chopsticks, and then gulped the sesame oil greens in the pot, even at the top of the tower, the summer heat and the temperature of the hot pot were enough to make him sweat profusely, but when he inhaled, he squinted his eyes, as if he was very happy.
The vegetables were washed, the mutton was frozen and then shaved into thin slices, although there were no peppers, and there was no chicken essence, but fortunately, there was absolutely no shortage of butter and mutton and other things, and the broth boiled by an old hen, plus the chili peppers and peppers that had just been obtained, so after a busy work of many hourglasses, the not so authentic red oil hot pot was propped up by Edward.
It's been a long time since I've enjoyed this kind of food.
When he was in Xifengyi, he himself would occasionally bring those mercenaries with him, and he would have a handful of extravagance - chili pepper and pepper were spices that were more expensive than gold, and they could not be enjoyed without a little money. But only this kind of thing, which is not much different from his memory, seems to trigger some of his memories and give him a slight sense of belonging.
However, this delicious food has just enjoyed a few bites, and it came from the window,
With a strange hum in the sky, the sunlight dimmed slightly, as if the sky was passing the shadow of a dark cloud.
Well, when people looked up at the change in light, they noticed that it was not a dark cloud, but a creation, made of wood and metal.
A ship, a ship that flies in the air.
The huge wind blew the dust off the ground, causing a commotion among the civilians, some of whom were already crying and hiding in their houses, while dozens of city guards, selected from among the citizens, clenched their weapons and formed a circle on one side, but all of them wisely left a distance of more than a hundred feet.
"Damn, fortunately, when I was planning here, I set aside a central square. Edward frowned.
Looking down from the Mage's Tower, it was about thirty feet long, spindle-shaped, and about the same as a medium-sized river vessel, except that it had no sails, and instead were struts that stretched outboard the ship's side and propellers at the ends, supporting the weight of the entire ship.
The legendary floatboat?
Edward's eyebrows were raised, but he had already guessed the identity of the person who had arrived—well, there weren't many people who could make an aerodynamic vehicle in mind, and if they could come to him, they would probably be that one.
Minahill.
But how could this guy, well, remember to run here?
The huge ship slowly landed on the ground, and several figures emerged from it—except for the black-robed mage. There were a few other people, presumably supporters, but interestingly, Edward noticed some familiar faces among them.
And for these few visitors, the qiē in front of them is a novelty.
When he looked up at the tower, he couldn't help but be moved, as for the apprentices......
"No...... It's incredible, I said Lord Edward, when are you ...... It has already been built," Miguel Don Cervantes stared blankly, almost incoherently.
For the chief apprentice, his feelings were actually quite complicated, and he could agree with the other party's ability. But even if he tasted the bitter fruit of defeat at the hands of this man, became his nominal servant, and even saw his excellent appearance on the battlefield, but deep down. He didn't have the slightest disdain, thinking that he was just relying on some luck and more training than himself...... After all, he is just a halfway mercenary, and even if he has a good talent, he may not be able to match himself. One day, I will be able to catch up and achieve at least as much as I can achieve.
After all, he is a spellcaster who has already touched the three rings of the magic net, and is even about to touch the four-ring magic net. In the Academy of Magic, this is not the most genius qualification. But it's good enough, as long as you work hard enough. The road ahead is bright, if not easy.
But at this moment, the huge tower dozens of feet high in front of him surrounded the small mountain city, and the other party's indifferent sentence of "the ...... that has just been built in the past few days" seems to be like a sledgehammer, smashing the little confidence and pride that Miguel Don Cervantes still has left, and it melts away with the wind, and there is nothing left.
"Congratulations, a nice tower, you built it yourself?"
"What's good, it's just rough work" Edward's eyes turned, "It's just that I should congratulate you, it looks like you've succeeded, congratulations." ”
"Success? It's still very early...... "The mage is still the same, with heavy dark circles and messy hair, he looks like he hasn't slept for dozens of days, his face is pale, his expression is cold, only there is more excitement in his eyes that he didn't have when he met before, but his tone is still not yin and yang:
"What is this kind of thing, the flying ships of the ancient magic kingdom, even if they are of ordinary size, are four times larger than this, and they are equipped with enough spells to wipe out a small city in a single salvo! At that time, the arcanists had already solved the problem of the conflict between the floating circle and the power, even if they were in the air, they could turn at will, and they could travel thousands of miles in one day and one night...... If you can reproduce it, these things of yours are just a small trick, and they can be used to float in the air, but they are not much faster than the carriage.
"Won't you add two more rotors to the back?"
"Add two more, so how do you stop? Drive the circle to slow down? It can be used to make a quick turn...... But if you do that, will you be able to stop the ship immediately?"
"You can just open the airbrake, and you can also make a movable rotor ......"
"What's that?"
"Uh...... I can't explain this for a while. Let's discuss it slowly......"
"What do you want?"
"Hey, we don't know each other, how do you say you seem to know me very well?"
Well, no matter whether the purpose of this mage's arrival is so simple, in short, Edward will not let him leave lightly,
After all, he's a high-level mage who has studied the transformation system, oh, and maybe has a spell system, and is best at making zuò potions, magic items, and magic circles - for some, it's a living treasure-making machine.
"There is a passage circle to the water elemental plane, but it has not been activated, and it is still using this crude artificial method? What is the difference between your hobby and those rotten nobles? Hmm, I just wanted to say, the magic circle settings in your room are almost perfect, but why haven't any of them been activated? Unfortunately, some of these magic circles are old and can be simplified a lot, where did you get these magic circles?"
"Well, that's a long story. ”
Edward stroked his forehead, and he could only be perfunctory about this question - he really wanted to start it, but activating those things, in addition to asking for money, also had to instill magic power, communicate magic nets, and magic, he was about the same as an apprentice-level scrap, where did he get the ability. To open the dozens of magic circles in this entire room, not to mention, although the runes and runes of those magic circles are accurate and complete, the gems and rare materials that make up the veins are almost huge, and at least they have to double and double their family resources. to be able to barely replenish it.
"Well, it's lunchtime, if you don't mind...... Together, right?"
The sudden arrival of these people caught Edward a little off guard, and for a moment he forgot that he was filling his stomach, but after a slight hesitation, he did
"For the mage. Even wasting time on appetite is a huge waste. The mage snorted, but sat down anyway, "It's better to get to the point quickly." ”
"I feel more efficient when I'm full, not to mention. Talking while eating is much more effective than speaking dryly. ”
Minethiel's brow twisted into a large pimple.
There was a charcoal fire burning under the big pot of soup, which divided the inside into two halves, and the red and white soup was boiling and tumbling, and the light and rich aroma stimulated the nose with the heat wave, but it seemed to be too strong. For a moment, it made him a little stuffy.
The red, red, green, and green things placed on the side of the pot, the green ones were neatly cut vegetables, and as for the red ones, the mage blinked. I realized that it was the meat of an unknown animal, but it had been cut into thinner than parchment. Almost transparent flaky and slightly curled. The flowers, like them, seem to be very delicate.
"This ...... Ahem...... What exactly is this...... Ahem...... What's that?"
The terrible smell went straight into his nose and throat, like a large handful of steel needles flowing, and the magic trick attached to his body to keep it constant temperature seemed to have failed at this time, and the mage could feel the blood in his body rush to the top of his head, and then spurt out on his forehead, cheeks, and neck, turning into sticky sweat.
At this time, he recognized that it was incredibly spicy, and there was an indescribable feeling, in short, the tongue seemed to have lost a little effect, and even the speech had become muffled.
"Oops...... I said, Your Excellency, this, this soup is not for drinking, you see, this is what is eaten......"
Damn, this bastard must have done it on purpose!
The smiling face of that little ghost made the mage curse in his heart...... But perhaps even more terrifyingly, he immediately found that after the sensation that almost numbed his tongue disappeared, the strange smell filled the entire nasal cavity, oral cavity, chest cavity, and even abdominal cavity, which made him want to ...... Take another bite.
"What the hell is this? Edward...... This...... It's so uncomfortable......"
Due to the lack of some spices, the proportion of chili peppers had to be appropriately increased, so the little girl only tried a little, and her delicate little face wrinkled, and she couldn't stop panting and even spit out her little tongue, fanning the wind with her hands, and the image of the lady was completely destroyed, but it was even more cute...... It's so cute that you can't help but want to make movements like holding her in your arms and pinching her little face.
If you think it's delicious, then hurry up and eat it hot, this thing will taste bad when it is cold!
Anna Sui then took two more bites, the taste that made her tongue numb and painful, but she couldn't help but try it again and again, she was really curious, and after wiping a handful of sweat, she asked again: "What is this made of, it seems that there are many other things besides mutton." ”
Edward smiled, "Do you think it's delicious?"
"Delicious," the two girls said in unison.
Edward said with a narrow smile on his face, "Since it's delicious, you should eat more and ask less."
"Must know?" "Of course!"
"What you just ate is the liver, those thin ones with small bumps are intestines, and those with bubbles are lungs......"
So what was originally eaten in the mouth immediately left the body according to the original channel, the people of this world and the Europeans seem to have the same preferences, although meat is their staple food, but they have a natural resistance to the internal organs of living things, in addition to the liver, they at most use some casings when smoking sausages,
As for the elves, they have a natural resistance to ugly things, although the half-elves are not taboo with meat, but a bunch of internal organs is another problem.
"You ...... You damn bastard!You must have done it on purpose!" It took a quarter of an hourglass for the half-elf to completely empty his stomach, and then immediately issued a series of curses at Edward, but after vomiting, the curse became too weak to penetrate the thick skin of the young man's walled walls.
