Ryan replied with a smile; "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Atwood, your puppet is just as magical."

Atwood: "You're a great winner. ”

After a brief exchange of praise, Atwood glanced at Cecil, reached out and picked up the leaf bowl in front of him, picked up the leaf stalk spoon that was equipped with it, and scooped half of the white, green and pink small cake into his mouth, and when the tip of his tongue tasted the sweet but not greasy taste, Atwood whispered and Ryan exclaimed, "I have never eaten such a special dessert." ”

For Atwood, who only eats tree fruit and drinks water, and rarely tastes the sweetness of satisfaction, Ryan's dessert makes him feel very fond of it.

Atwood: "I've had desserts that were either too sweet or too greasy, but this is the first time I've tasted a dessert like yours, and the greens just now taste great." ”

Whether it's a lover's fruit or a dish with the same flowers, the prickly cucumber tastes good when eaten raw.

Ryan smiled, "If you like it." ”

If you have something you like, it's easy to do.

When a small piece of dessert was finished, Atwood took out a handkerchief to wipe the cream off his mouth, and took out a few more strange stones from the spatial ring, as well as a container made of white magic stones.

Atwood put the stone into the container, looked up and said to Ryan, "Lord Ryan, this is the stone I mentioned in my letter and to you earlier. ”

Ryan stared at the stone in the container and asked, "And what exactly does it do?" ”

The color of the stone is black and red, and the shape does not look special.

"Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find out what this stone is for."

Atwood explains: "But there are a lot of special things about this kind of stone, and when it is fired, it can produce a hot flame, and the water poured on the stone will evaporate and cause a breeze. ”

"Sounds really special."

Ryan had never seen this kind of stone, and asked in his mind, "Tong, do you know what this stone is?" ”

System: "Teklin can be used, it's a great thing to craft weapons, and it can be used with lava stones, which is relatively rare." ”

Ryan thanked him in his head, and then said to Atwood, "Mr. Atwood, why don't you ask Master Teklin or Chief Odore afterwards, they should know more about special stones." ”

Atwood: "That's what you said. ”

When he put the stone into the space, Ryan stroked his finger and asked, "So, Mr. Atwood, I wonder if you have any plans lately, or what you need to do?" ”

Cecil slowly raised the snake's tail and tapped the vine lightly.

Atwood: ......

"I'm a free alchemist, and there's no specific arrangement."

Atwood looked up at Ryan, "What do you mean?" ”

Ryan also understood Cecil's hint, and said directly: "I want to hire you to do things for me, I currently have a special blueprint in my hand, and Senior Goblin Engineer Jim is working on it, maybe you can have a good common topic." ”

Ryan: "I'd like to hire you to develop something new. ”

Atwood didn't hesitate too much, he had already thought about it before coming to Oran, especially since Cecil was still here.

Atwood looked at Ryan: "Honorable Lord Ryan, Alchemist Atwood is willing to accept your employment. ”

Ryan raised his eyebrows lightly: "Aren't you worried that I will hire you to do bad things?" ”

A smile was on Atwood's deep eyebrows, "It's not the bad guys who can gain Cecil's trust. ”

Ryan thinks the snake is fantastic!

"Dear Mr. Atwood."

Ryan took out the parchment roll and whispered, "Then let's start discussing the terms and conditions of employment and compensation." ”

Atwood took the parchment and, after reading the specific request, signed his name on the parchment.

The next day, Orlan was still on a sunny day, and after meeting the warriors Essex had brought back, Ryan gave him a new assignment.

Although this group of warriors is not very loyal to Ryan, they all have panels on their heads, but the former Essex has a very indifferent attitude towards them, and the so-called patrol of the border is only for them to patrol every day, and most of the time they have little training, which makes this group of warriors' attitude towards war somewhat bloodless.

However, with the knights back in the lead, Ryan is confident that Essex can train the warriors well.

Essex complied with Ryan's request and took them to the woods to arrange training.

After meeting the soldiers, Ryan found the Wanderer Squad, and before hiring them to develop new cosmetics to make serums, Ryan assigned them the task of collecting and finding materials, and signed a parchment roll to keep secret.

After receiving Ryan's assignment, the five wanderers immediately went into action, saying goodbye to Nan and leaving Orlan to find a place where the materials were.

Most of the way the wanderers earn gold coins is through adventurers and private appointments, but some employers are stingy and troublesome, and Ryan offers a generous reward, although only a tenth is given in advance, but Roy and they are already very satisfied.

When Atwood arrives to find him, Ryan takes him to find Jim.

Cyril took Asa and Mahia to train against the monsters today, and Atwood and Cyril didn't meet them today.

Goblin Jim has no problem with Atwood's arrival, on the contrary, he welcomes it.

When Atwood saw the blueprints of the Magician Generator and heard Jim mention the god of machines, they immediately struck up a conversation together.

Ryan couldn't read the drawings, so he went to the place where the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Moon were located, and the two saplings were protected by the Moonlight Vine, and they grew a little bigger than before, and the little moon on the top of the Tree of the Moon was much brighter.

Before fetching the spring water, Ryan tried to communicate with the two small saplings, and although there was no response from the voice, the wind blew the leaves lightly, as if telling him to take them as he pleased.

When Ryan returned to the castle from where the Tree of Life was, he found Andrew outside the door of the lord's bedroom, seemingly waiting for his return.

When the spatial fluctuation ended, Andrew saw Ryan, so he immediately set off and walked towards him, "Good day, honorable Lord Ryan." ”

"Good day."

Ryan looked up at Andrew, who stopped in front of him, "Have you been waiting for me here for a long time?" ”

"I just finished explaining their training today, and I have Essex to help take care of it, so I didn't wait here for long."

Andrew looked down at Ryan, "What you gave me yesterday, the materials for building the printing house are almost ready, I wonder if you have already determined the location for the construction?" ”

Among the magical birds he received, Ryan had already informed Andrew of his plans.

Apparently it was only yesterday that Ryan felt that Andrew was too trustworthy, looked at him and asked, "What do you think of building the printing house near the distillery?" ”

"It's a great choice."

Andrew thought for a moment and nodded, "There are some dwarves who help in Eli's brewery, and when the printing house is completed, they can also hire dwarves to help print the scrolls. ”

"That's what I intended."

Ryan hummed and asked, "By the way, since you mentioned the distillery, do you know how Eli's first batch of sake went?" ”

Ryan had already given Eli the tools and ingredients for brewing, but every time he asked, Eli was mysterious.

Andrew: "Not brewed yet." ”

Ryan: "? ”

Ryan hesitated to guess: "Is it because he's too busy?" ”

"It's not."

Andrew shook his head, looking a little hesitant.

Ryan instantly realized, "Did Eli tell you not to say it?" ”

Andrew shook his head, "Not really. ”

Ryan used his mental power to push the door of the lord's bedroom open, and motioned for Andrew to enter the bedroom with him.

The cubs and elves are not in the bedroom today, and take Alenid to meet the fragrant bees, and the sunflower fairy hopes to use Alenid to help him renovate the flower field with fire.

When Andrew entered the house with him, Ryan closed the door and asked, "Now you can talk to me, I promise not to tell Eli that you told me about it." ”

"It's not really a big deal."

Andrew: "Steward Eli felt that you had given too few raw materials, and that they could be planted, so he hired some elves and asked his people to help him carve out a field near the distillery, and planted all the materials you gave him, which should be harvested in a while." ”

Ryan was slightly puzzled, "I just came back from near the distillery, why didn't I find the new field he planted?" ”

"Because Steward Eli has cast a magical enchantment."

Andrew: "Butler Eli also said that if you find a plant in the magical enchantment, he can take the opportunity to ask you for more tools for brewing, otherwise all the materials will be wasted." ”

Ryan: Wonderful.

It's a waste of Eli's mind not to do business.

Ryan: "Then you're like I've never heard of it, I don't know the land exists. ”

"Andrew, in fact, the brewing stuff is not difficult for dwarves to make." Ryan: "Eli, why didn't he ask Teklin for help?" ”

Obviously, the equipment is very simple, and Ryan himself can make wine according to the recipe.

Andrew: "Eli thinks that if you don't follow your equipment and recipes, the wine will taste really bad, and he doesn't like to fail. ”

Ryan pursed his lips slightly, "Then his habit is pretty good." ”

"So you're free now?"

Andrew: "If you have time, once you've chosen a location near the brewery, you can start building the printing house today." ”

"Okay."

Ryan nodded: "Then I'll go with you." ”

As for whether Andrew will pledge his allegiance again, it will be better to wait until he has the opportunity to say it later.

Chapter 148

After receiving the mission entrusted by Ryan, Roy and his teammates immediately went to say goodbye to Nan, and set a coordinate so that they could return to Orlan with the props in the future, and set off to collect various materials according to Ryan's request.

There were a lot of materials that Ryan had to collect, and some of them were so strange that it was impossible to guess what they were used for, and of course Roy didn't ask much.

Although it is different from the employment content mentioned in Nanxin, it doesn't matter if you make money. The Wanderer Squad pursues the speed of completing tasks, doing what should be done, not asking what should not be asked, taking money to do things, and strictly protecting the secrets of the mercenary, this is the rule set by Roy.

After finishing the conversation, leaving the lord's bedroom, Ryan followed Andrew to the vicinity of the brewery once more.

The spiritual power sensed a little, and took a vague look at Eli's field, borrowing the props of the system, and could see that there were many small bats flying inside. Ryan just didn't notice anything, and quickly looked away, hoping that Eli would surprise him then.

The winery that was given Eli's responsibility has been greatly expanded, with a wine cellar on the right and a large underground wine cellar.

To the left of the brewery is Jim's laboratory, and further on the side is the place where the debris and goblin airships are kept, and the dwarves live nearby. Not far to the right of the distillery, there was a row of newly built blacksmith shops by the dwarves, and many dwarves passed by, busy with their own business, basking in the sun, and their faces were relaxed and happy.

The pure white windmill blows the wind here, and because the flower fairies have unleashed the power of nature, many petals and leaves will grow into new bouquets and plants that grow with grass around the dwarven stone houses.
