Chapter 73 The meaning of natal magic and the manufacture of cast iron

Inside the study.

Knight Griffin hesitated for a moment and said, "The two parties have nothing to do with me, but it's a pity that they can all affect the future of our territory."

"Personally, it's easier for me to side with Viscount Winchester, because we are all nobles."

"But this is just a personal emotional tendency, which cannot be counted."

"My lord, I don't know which side to choose."

Evita frowned. "If you can, just stand on neither side."

It is the most correct choice not to stand on either side until the situation is about to show a result, and then choose to stand in line.

However, I am afraid that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop.

However, the result of God Pan's divination for himself was that the city of Ambrose could bring him luck.

Therefore, he was more inclined to go to Ambrose City.

The Hearthstone Witch's eyes lit up. "It's still smart, we don't need to get involved with their affairs."

The last thing the old witch likes is getting involved in other people's fights.

"Neither of the two letters has a time requirement, so I can think that neither of them thinks that I am the one who must be wooed."

Ivita said: "After all, we are just a new force."

"But that's fine."

"I'm not planning to leave the baron's territory for the time being. The first priority is to restore our territory."

"The second thing is to have a stable period of time, which can be used to improve my magic."

"The third thing is that Pan Shen said that Geron will pass by here after a while and enter Ambrose. I really want to see this person."

In fact, Ivita still wanted to figure out the conference ring that he had been wearing on his thumb all the time, but he couldn't do it for a while.

The old witch said: "If Your Majesty wants to plant an extraterrestrial plant, you really need to go to the city of Ambrose after a while."

"Because extraterrestrial plants require specific soil, specific fertilizers, and specific water before they can be planted."

"When you don't plant it, it will not wither anyway, but if it is planted, it will have strict requirements on the soil environment."

Said the old witch, "Because when you plant it, it grows."

"If you grow, you need to consume nutrients."

"By the way, the dragon's heart is a good fertilizer, but it's a waste of fertilizer."

"But it might improve the quality of some Sakura Dragon Trees."

The hearthstone witch thought for a while and said.

Ivita nodded, well, he has another reason to go to Ambrose City.

In the afternoon, he found Raleigh and asked Raleigh to recruit masons to build a row of accommodation houses and workshops near the iron mine.

In the future, it is best for blacksmiths to live near the iron foundry.

He asked Hei Lang to find construction workers in the territory and began to manufacture fifteen blast furnaces in batches.

From the furnace body, bosh to furnace throat, to the insulation layer, outer layer, and fire bricks, these areas were built by people from different places to prevent the technology from leaking out.

Even, Black Wolf recruited people from the construction workers' guild in the town of Cali and several nearby towns to manufacture different parts.

These workers themselves don't know what they are building, so naturally they won't leak it.

Ivita also found different carpenters, assembled a push-pull bellows, and asked the black wolf to buy a large amount of charcoal from the lumberjack guild in the nearest city, and asked the black wolf to buy a large amount of charcoal from the blacksmith guild in the nearby city. , bought a large number of crucibles.

Ambrose's commercial economy is mainly a market economy composed of guilds.

The selling price and starting price of the goods are determined by the local guild, not by the buyer and the seller.

Fortunately, the various guilds in nearby cities did not dare to embarrass a baron.

It's just that, Ivita and the others spent 290 five gold pounds, almost exhausting all the deposits in the baron's territory.

Now there are only fourteen gold pounds left in the baron's treasury deposit.

Personally, this is indeed a lot.

But if these fourteen gold pounds were used to pay wages to the employees in the territory, that would be a fantasy.

That's right, Ivita can only use food instead of money now.

He felt that if this continued, he would soon... have to borrow money and default on the wages of his employees.

Fortunately, every serf in the territory has a number of days to serve the lord every year.

Ambrose's rule is that serfs have ten days of war service for the lord every year, ten days of chores for the lord every year, and ten days of heavy physical labor for the lord every year.

Therefore, Ivita can get some serfs with feudal obligations and do chores without too many technical requirements.

The reason why I can't make ends meet is that the things that Iveta has to do are quite resource-intensive.

He can be so extravagant now because he doesn't feel bad about consuming the resources stored by the Moluo family before.

Meanwhile, two weeks later, fifteen blast furnaces were built.

Each one looks like a barrel of yellow clay from the outside, and it is only 25 meters high, but in fact the temperature inside can reach 1200 to 1300 degrees.

From now on, the one hundred blacksmiths employed by Ivita can already use these blast furnaces to smelt iron.

However, Ivita still thought of a way first and taught these blacksmiths the [Frying Steel Method].

The so-called fried steel is to put the semi-liquefied pig iron in the crucible, keep stirring at high temperature, let the oxygen take away the impurities, and use this method to make cast iron.

After discussing with these blacksmiths for half a month, Ivita finally smelted the cast iron that met the requirements, and remelted the iron into a liquid, put it into a mold, and turned it into an iron block.

During this process, Ivita accidentally discovered that he was actually very resistant to high temperatures.

Even if he grasped it with his palm, he didn't feel much pain at the bottom of the crucible under high temperature.

In the iron foundry, all the blacksmiths looked up at their lord in amazement. Without wearing thick gloves, they held the bottom of the crucible with their fair-skinned hands and poured the semi-melted molten iron into the sand mold. .

The blacksmiths were stunned. "The lord is a born blacksmith."

"Is this something a human can do?"

"Why can the lord use human hands to touch hot iron? Can I learn it too?"

"Can this be learned?"

Ivita didn't know why, he asked the old witch, "Can apprentice wizards do it?"

The old witch shook her head with a solemn expression. "If it could, the church wouldn't burn witches."

"Your talent, even among wizards, only certain people have it."

"I'm afraid the problem is your fire dragon blood."

"Your fire dragon blood makes you not afraid of high temperatures, but I don't know if you will be immune to flames. Let me try."

A high-temperature fireball appeared in the old witch's hand, and she was about to hit Ivita.

Ivita's eyelids twitched, and she quickly stopped her. "Wait, even though I have high fire resistance, my clothes don't."

"Stop it!"

Most importantly, what if I don't have fire resistance?

I only have the resistance to high temperature!

Are you going to kill me so that you can inherit my debt?

The old witch stopped immediately. "Ah, I took it for granted, and I'm sorry, Your Majesty."

Ivita said: "I want to learn two magics recently, what do you recommend for me?"

The old witch thought for a while, "I have been reading my treasured magic book for you for a month. You can try to use your modified [Lightning Curse] without using the magic ring."

"Among witches, those who can manipulate lightning are relatively rare."

"That's synonymous with strength."

"Secondly, you can try to learn spells related to [Flame] and [Flying Stone]."

Ivita nodded, "I just want to find a guild to sell these cast irons. Come with me, I can choose some magic to learn on the way."

The old witch sighed. "Your Majesty, you speak as if it were as simple as drinking water and eating bread."

"You don't know why it takes years or decades for someone to learn a magic until you officially start learning magic."

"Because what you want to learn is natal magic, not ordinary magic, so what you have to do is to follow the ideas of the previous witches, re-study these spells, and bring forth new ones. What you need is research and learning, and It's not just copying."

"This is the meaning of natal magic. Only in this way can there be corresponding changes in the astrology."

"It can be integrated into your life, into your soul, and become your immortal power."

"That's why even if some witches are burned to death for decades, her magical power can still remain, on the land where she was born and raised, and wandering in the place where she died."

"Not even the prayers of the pastors of the church can completely destroy these forces."
