Alien Knights

　　 Under Edgar's strange gaze, Todd picked up a ore nugget placed on the ground in the sky.

　　 From the appearance, these are not like ore after washing, but a bit like waste after fire smelting-slag.

　　 A smelting apprentice with a face full of charcoal, under the instruction of the craftsman, put aside his work and walked towards Todd who was holding the ore and observing repeatedly.

　　 "My lord, what can we humble people do for you?"

　　 With a little surprise, Todd looked at the child who was bent over and lowered his head and his age, and realized that the other party was so submissive, mostly because of the monk's clothes on him.

Frowning and looking at the cross on his chest, the novice monk desperately recalled the Western religious works he had seen, using words that were as reasonable as possible to make the other party less suspicious: "As a preacher authorized by the Father to walk on the earth , I have a few questions for you."

　　噗!

　　 There was a choking voice in Edgar's mouth.

　　 Todd's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, but fortunately, the craftsman apprentice in front of him did not look strange.

　　 Raising the **** in his hand, Todd asked, "Where do these things come from?"

　　 The apprentice replied respectfully: "North Quarry, as a gift from the Silver Ring Kingdom to the monastery."

　　 "North Quarry?"

　　 "Yes, I heard that the mines there produce silver ore."

After pondering for a moment, Todd used his own perspective to penetrate the surface of the slag, looking at the gleaming silver light in it, and asked thoughtfully: "I ask you, the silver smelting method used by the North Quarry is "ash blow". Silver Alchemy"?"

　　 "Silver method with ash blowing?"

　　 Looking at the other person's puzzled expression, he touched his head and explained to the apprentice the general process of the "ash blowing silver method" in the previous life.

　　 The so-called "ash blown silver method" is a method of separating silver and lead. Silver mines generally contain very low silver content. The key to silver smelting technology is how to enrich the silver. Because lead and silver are completely soluble in each other and have a low melting point, lead is added during silver smelting to dissolve the silver in the lead to achieve the enrichment of silver; then air is blown to oxidize the lead and enter the furnace ash to separate the silver .

　　 It's very simple to say, but in the past lives, soot blowing methods were subdivided into multiple categories. In the European Middle Ages alone, there were nearly ten types of British soot blowing methods, German soot blowing methods, wind disk soot blowing methods, and template soot blowing methods.

　　 Todd explained for a little while, suddenly a pair of big hands appeared in front of him, and he slammed the apprentice's ears with a face full of surprise.

A dark face appeared in front of the monk's eyes, and the gully-covered face revealed tension and anxiety. This old craftsman, who seemed to be about fifty years old, lowered his voice and whispered to Todd: "My lord, please. Come with me."

　　 was led into a studio, sat on a wooden chair, and watched as all the idlers were driven out by the old craftsmen, only one person followed him in swaggeringly.

　　 Edgar, this kid, with an indifferent look on his face, walked into the door and found a clean corner, leaning against the wall to look at himself in time. This caused Todd's forehead to float with black lines, and he secretly cursed in his heart, knowing that you **** was sent to monitor me, but how can you have such blatant surveillance under the world? Could you please hide in the dark and observe me low-key?

　　 The old craftsman closed the door tightly, waved away the curious apprentices by the window, stood in front of Todd respectfully, and said carefully: "My lord, you will kill us."

　　 opened his eyes wide, the monk asked puzzledly: "Huh? What does this mean?"

He took off the cloth towel hung around his neck and wiped his forehead. The old craftsman swallowed his saliva: "Although I have never heard of the "ash blowing method" you just mentioned, it is similar to silver alchemy. I have heard a little. This silver alchemy technique is called "Nathaniel silver lead technique". The general process is similar to what you said, but only royal craftsmen are qualified to approach the detailed process. But in such an occasion, feel free to use it. Saying this will be very detrimental to you and us..."

　　 Looking at the man in front of him, while speaking, he vaguely pointed his finger to the top of his head, and Todd understood what he meant in an instant.

But this is really a very depressing thing. If I remember correctly, in the previous life, the "ash blowing method" was invented by astrologers in 2500 BC. How come in this world, it was actually set by the royal family as a treasure. "Technology" barrier"?

　　 thought this in his heart, but he still wanted to let the person on the other side know that he was innocent.

　　 Todd said, "It turns out to be like this, but I'm ignorant..."

Knowing that the monk in front of him was not intentional, the old craftsman was obviously relieved, and dropped the cloth towel he was pulling with his hands to his waist. I don’t care about things in this world."

"What's your name?"

　　 "Ayden, Aiden Kom, my lord."

　　 "Ayden, I need to ask you some questions."

　　 "My lord, if you ask, I know everything."

　　 Using the perspective ability to look at the metallic particles in them, Todd said: "I heard that these things come from the North Quarry? They don't look like freshly mined ore."

　　 glanced at the **** in the hands of the monks, and the old craftsman took on the topic: "My lord, as you said. These are the wastes from the silver refined in the North Quarry."

　　 "Why did the Silver Ring Kingdom give these scraps to the monastery?"

Perhaps he misunderstood the other party’s question, Aiden quickly waved his hand and said: "My lord, you may have misunderstood. The Silver Ring Kingdom sent these without humiliation or derogation. Although these are wastes after refining silver, they are. It still has a high value. The lead water obtained after pyrometallurgy is an important source of pencils and roof materials used in the monastery."

　　 is really a waste. With this idea, Todd asked another key question: "How much is the **** after silver smelting like this, UU reading www.uukanshu.com?"

　　 The old craftsman raised his head, and replied in doubt: "As many as you want. The **** delivered every year is not used up at all, and most of it is used to fill the mountain."

　　 There was joy in his heart, but his face was calm. Todd calculated the income and smiled and said, "Ayden, if I tell you that there is an opportunity now that you can contribute to Heavenly Father, would you like it?"

　　 took out and clenched the cross under his robe, the old craftsman crossed his fingers, closed his eyes and bends down deeply: "I am willing to give everything to my heavenly Father."

　　—————————

　　 "You don't need to promise at all, you will pay him."

　　 Hearing Edgar next to him, Todd shrugged.

　　 He knew that this kid was right, and that the faith of the old craftsman was enough to prompt him to work for free without asking for remuneration. But in the past society, the three capital market thinking of contract spirit, distribution according to work and mutual benefit have been deeply imprinted into this soul. Besides, compared with the huge profits collected next, the remuneration given to the craftsman is almost negligible.

　　 With a rare good mood, Todd opened his right arm, grabbed Edgar's shoulder, looked at the small freckles on the other's face, and asked softly: "Do you want to eat meat every day?"

　　 The little guy who was still struggling, hearing this, he suddenly forgot all the unhappiness, his eyes lit up, and he nodded hurriedly.

　　 "Do you want to put on new clothes?"

　　 nodded.

　　 "Do you want to sleep till dawn every day without labor?"

　　 nodded desperately.

　　 Todd opened his mouth and smiled at Edgar, showing two rows of teeth.

　　 "Trust me, these will be there soon."
