Before ascending to God, be a good lord

"Sophia, thank you for following me these days and helping me sort out the magic circle transcribed in the ruins. I have prepared for too long for this time,"

"Mr. Ben, don't say that." Sophia waved her hands a little at a loss.

"I will leave all the materials I rubbed and transcribed this time to your lord. I suggest that you borrow it to have a look. You and Johnny are very suitable for drawing magic scrolls. You need to practice more in the future."

Finally, Ben Call turned to the last girl, "Little Linnet?"

"Ah, teacher, why do you still have me?" Little Cardinal was a little at a loss.

"Of course I have you. You are a junior mage. You are not only the first mage born in this territory, but also the queen of Yeqi City personally instructed you. Don't always feel that you have poor foundation and no magic. Words are part of magic. Numbers It's also part of the magic."

"Thank you, Teacher Ben, what's wrong with you? Why are you telling us this?" Not only Little Cardinal, but other girls were also wondering why Ben Kaul suddenly came over to comment on each of them.

"I'm almost done exploring the ruins, and I'm ready to go back to the imperial capital"

The girls looked at each other and were very surprised, "Teacher, I feel that what you rubbed is the magic circle on the second and third floors underground, isn't there a few more floors?"

"Yes, my research has only involved 1/3 of the entire underground ruins, but this is already most of what my ancestor, the legendary magician Kaur, has involved. As I said, I want to follow in his footsteps." Ben explained, "The magic remains on this ruins are getting older as they go down. From the magic circle below the fourth floor, don't move until you reach the great magister."

"Is the Grand Magister?" Sophia muttered, it was too far away for her.

"Are you leaving today?" Wendy asked.

"No, maybe in a few days, I have agreed with Rand that I will go to the new industrial zone to see the newly installed boilers, but I have already made the calculations and am planning to arrive in Maned Wolf City before the 20th. The mage patted Wendy on the shoulder, "We should have a chance to meet again in the future, I wish you all the best on the road of magic."

"Thank you teacher, I hope to have the opportunity to listen to your class in the future." The girls sincerely thanked Ben Kaul together. Compared with Master Gandalf Merlin, who taught various magic and meditation methods, Ben's teaching is more cutting-edge magic Theories have very unique insights into various current schools, which greatly broaden the horizons of the girls.Now that he was leaving, the girls felt a little lost.

. . .

At noon, Rand took Ben to the new industrial zone, and realized that Ben was not very interested.

"What's the matter, Teacher Ben, isn't this wave of students easy to lead?"

"Huh?" Ben glanced at Rand, knowing that he was talking about the fact that he failed to convince a few girls, "I was thinking about Teferi. The Tower has allocated a separate quota for the Dragon Kingdom.”

"Oh, your connections are powerful enough," Rand thought to himself.

"I didn't expect that later, people from Dragon Tooth City reported that the girl went home before taking the qualification exam, and the place was taken by another girl from Feilong's family." Ben Kaur recalled. "I'm thinking, if there wasn't that special quota back then, and instead someone had sent Wendy directly to the Imperial Capital, wouldn't it have been smoother?"

"Maybe." Rand just dealt with it, but he was not sure about Ben's true thoughts. In his opinion, the Tower of Purity is not a simple educational institution, but more a place where the God Emperor cultivates his confidants. There may not be good results.

"You really don't want to go to the imperial capital with me?" Ben asked Rand again, "Instead of cooperating with the Lanyuan family, it's better to find a family in the imperial capital." To congratulate him, he had some words to say, "To be honest, it's not a bad choice to use the high ranks of the Lanyuan family to win the iron ore, but the Lanyuan family will let the whole kingdom know."

"I'm still somewhat resistant to giving myself up for marriage. In essence, I'm the same as Wendy and the others," Lante said honestly, "I'm used to living in a small place, and I'm not used to the rules of a big city. Whether I go to a big city by myself , or bring people from big cities into your own home to be the hostess."

"Really? If you really hate yourself, you can give up your father and your two brothers. They must like women from big families very much." Ben said with a smile. To a certain extent, Ben's love for Rand's family Have a very deep understanding.

"Really? I don't think they are that interested in Gu Leiya."

"That's because they are interested in blood, unlike you who are interested in big tails." Ben looked at Rand meaningfully.

The two chatted and laughed when they arrived at the new industrial area. They were catching up with the potters stirring the clay. After the clay was mixed, it needed to be molded in a mold, dried and then fired. With a steam engine, both mixing and compression molding could rely on steam power. , the efficiency is greatly improved.

"Are you planning to make porcelain?" Ben saw some potters applying glaze to the finished pottery. "Where did you find the porcelain craftsman?"

Porcelain is different from pottery. The skill is only in the hands of a few big nobles. Every family holds porcelain craftsmen in their hands. Ben Kaur does not believe that there are such talents in the salt mines of Rand.

"There are no craftsmen. Porcelain is a glass layer formed by brushing glaze on plain embryos with high temperature. I found the glaze formula in the library area of ​​the palace. Let them try it first." In fact, Rand did not lie, the library area However, there are some records about porcelain, and the kaolin and clay mines near the new industrial zone are also marked in the ancient scrolls, but the core firing temperature and process principles are known to Lant before he traveled.

Rand is in a hurry to make porcelain, not because he wants to export it to the outside world for money, but because the glass layer on the surface of the porcelain and the low price can better spread it to the people in the territory and improve the food hygiene in the territory.

"Since you explored it yourself, let me remind you a few more words." Ben smiled, "In the past, the Galloping Horse Kingdom was rich in a kind of magic pattern porcelain. Magic crystals can slowly nourish life, and once fired successfully, they can be used for drinking and eating to prolong life, and some magicians even use this kind of porcelain to grow magic plants."

"Don't need additional magic crystals, relying on the magic pattern that nourishes the life type that comes with it?" Rand kept thinking about the feasibility from a technical point of view, "Is this magic pattern drawn on white porcelain? Or burn it out? some?"

"If white porcelain is painted, what is it called magic pattern ceramics?" Ben asked rhetorically.

"Porcelain needs to be fired at a temperature of at least a thousand degrees, which means that a magic pattern that can gradually absorb high-temperature magic power must be placed in the firing process to provide magic power to the fired magic pattern of life?" Lan I am very interested in the topic of magic pattern ceramics.

"A very good idea, but unfortunately I don't know, this kind of porcelain only appeared 50 years before the galloping horses destroyed the country, and only a few nobles were lucky enough to see it. All the existing magic pattern porcelains are hundreds of years old. Each of the previous inventory is worth hundreds of gold coins, if you can really make it, you must give me one."

"It's a deal." Ben Kaur's words made Rand suddenly see the sun, "I must also build a workshop in the palace to test all kinds of alchemy porcelain. This place can be called the manufacturing office. What do you think? ?”

"Where do you get these words?"
