Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 98
No one cared why there was only half of the pot of stewed elbow that had just been served, just like no one questioned why Wendy dared to go directly to Rand.

"My lord, are you saying that Wendy just made this jar this afternoon?"

"To be precise, it's the rune part, the jar is ready-made"

"My God." Mace Maned Wolf and Pete looked at each other, and said after getting an affirmative answer, "Then Wendy is definitely a genius magician. It is difficult for any high-level mage I have ever seen to be able to describe it successfully at one time." Magic patterns, not to mention assembling magic patterns."

When shopping in the daytime, Rand found that items with magic patterns are very expensive. For example, it is generally believed that runes drawn by magicians before high-level usually cost about 1 gold coin and 1 catty coin. But in fact, all magic patterns have a high premium.

Magic pattern products are at least 1-5 gold coins more expensive than the same non-magic pattern products. For some products with multiple magic patterns, it is common for 10 gold coins to be more expensive, because the magician can successfully draw 2 magic patterns. Very low, and the scrap rate for drawing two mageweaes on the same item is much higher.

Because of this, unless there is a special need, few people can afford a jar with 2 magweave.

The product is a good product, but there is no market. Rand understands what Mays means, but Rand is not in a hurry. After all, Wendy can't just draw heated magic lines on the jar.

After analysis, Metz found a very marketable direction: low-temperature seafood clay pot.

For Maned Wolf City and many nobles in the Dragon Kingdom, how to transport seafood at a low cost has always troubled them, because there are only a few buildings dedicated to teleportation in each city, and the portals in these buildings need to Priority is allocated to the emperor and the legendary messengers, the nobles traveling from various places, and military transfers, and it takes at least a few hours for the seaside seafood to reach the nobles' tables from the seaport.

Therefore, in Metz's view, a special chilled clay pot can be made, equipped with purification magic patterns and cooling magic patterns, specially used to store seafood and ice cubes.

Metz's statement gave Rand an idea. He can make a special seafood container, use purification and cooling magic patterns to directly store cold sea water, and store live fish in sea water. As long as the live fish can grow for more than 2 hours, Nobles should be able to spend more gold to buy live seafood.

A group of people at the dining table were chatting about the future product direction of the magic pattern drawing little genius. At this moment, Rand even felt that, except for Neil, who had no idea because Zhenqin was not there, everyone else at the table became product managers. Keep painting cakes for Wendy.

"My lord, there is a master mage outside who wants to see you," a cavalryman came to report

"Oh, what's his name?"

"Ben Call"

"Oh, I remembered, let someone come in quickly." Lante knew that he was the cousin of the paladin Burt Kaul. He said that he was already in Maned Wolf City. Now he must have come here to prepare to run from the territory of Rott. Plain.

Not long after, Ben Kaur entered the restaurant, just like a standard mid-level magician, with a face in his 30s, black eyes, golden hair covered by the hat on the mage's robe, and a height of about 2.4 meters. Slender, but without the slightest sense of weakness.

According to Burt Paladin, this Ben Kaur has been traveling because he failed to enter the magic tower to continue his studies when he was in the imperial capital.

The same as the middle level, Rand is still a knight lord. It stands to reason that Ben should greet Rand first, but he didn't get angry when he saw that Ben didn't mean that.

"Master Ben, you are welcome to visit Viscounty Root and Galloping Horse Plain if you are interested."

"Oh, thank you, Lord Viscount." Ben stared at Rand as soon as he entered the door, "Excuse me, is your surname Benma?"

"Of course, both the Roth Territory and the Galloping Horse Territory belong to the same family. I inherited the Viscount Roth because there was no heir after the death of the Viscount Rotter." This set of words is the official statement confirmed by Rand and Huck. , so that Rand, as an intermediate knight, can justifiably inherit the territory of Viscount Rotor, and the Dragon Kingdom will also owe Rand a military service because of this.

"No wonder, I knew a knight who came to the Imperial Capital to study. His name is Albert Galloping Horse. Do you know him?"

"Of course, he is my uncle and a scholar in our territory."

"Oh," Ben's eyes lit up, "I said you looked very familiar, but I can't think of where we've met."

"I was good friends with Albert back then, and he could be said to be a celebrity in the capital at that time."

"Can a junior knight become a celebrity?" Rand thought, not daring to say.

"You can ask him, he once broke through the Tower of Purity alone, and chatted with several legends, but shocked our magic school."

"Really? He never mentioned it to us"

"Perhaps in Albert's view, failing to bring the help of the imperial capital to his family is not considered very successful for him, so he doesn't want to talk about it."

"Well, that's right."

For the two of them, with a common topic like Albert, it will be easier to talk about many things in the future.

Rand introduced to Ben his experience of fighting all the way from the Benma Plain, as well as his own exploration plan for the future of Yeqi City.

"So, you really made those barbarians believe in the God Emperor?"

"Yeah, I think since they have to believe in a god, let them believe in the god of the human race." Rand said in a normal way.

"The God Emperor wouldn't mind having more believers?"

Ben looked at the bold lord in front of him, "It's hard to say!"

"what?"

"Although the God Emperor has countless believers, the only ones who are truly qualified to win His favor are those believers who abide by the rules of knights or magicians."

Ben knew that the fourth son of the border baron in front of him knew nothing, and had no concept of religion.

"Although these barbarian demon possessors of yours now believe in the God Emperor, they don't know the power and priesthood of the God Emperor at all, and they don't know the rules and guidelines. If such so-called believers enter the inland of the human race, they will only be punished by the temple The League considers it to be a false religion.”

"Well, I haven't thought about this, but now the barbarians in my territory know the priesthood and might of His Majesty the God Emperor."

"Oh"

"The priest of my domain, Wright Doraina, has been spreading his faith, and we have made songs about his miracles."

"Duo Laina" originally recalled the surname belonging to the Pope's family, "Is there a priest in your territory?"

"Yes, he is an ascetic monk who voluntarily went to the salt mine. After I brought the people from the salt mine south, he voluntarily joined my team."

"So that's the case, but even so, you have to manage your barbarian subordinates well. The inland of the human race is no better than the Benma grassland. You must not kill without authorization."

"Oh, good." At this moment, Rand felt that the person in front of him was his mentor, not the middle-level mage who wanted to go to him. "

"By the way, Ben, have you eaten yet? Would you like some of my new pork?"

"You...did it?" Ben looked at Rand suspiciously.

Ben Kaul's evaluation of the delicacies made by Rand is quite satisfactory. He thinks the taste is good, but there is too much oil and too much salt.

"What kind of rich and noble family does this have to be able to pay attention to a light diet while wandering around." Lante thought to himself, but said, "There is no way, we used to eat mutton every day on the plains, this is not a change taste."

"You wouldn't use such a luxurious jar to change your taste, would you? Even if you are a Viscount, you wouldn't use such a jar with double magic patterns to make ordinary food, would you?"

"This is not an ordinary heating magic pattern jar, look at this lid."

"This lid...these magic lines?" Sure enough, an expert would know if there was one as soon as he got started, and Ben would know the ingenuity of this jar lid after twisting it.

"You, you bought it from the Blue Dragon family?" Ben didn't even think that the maned wolf city could have the goods.

"How much do you think I paid for this jar?"

"If the Lanlong family sells you for more than 5 gold coins, you will be wronged."

"I'm also planning to buy a fresh-keeping container with 2-3 magic lines, which probably looks like this." While talking, Rand found a pen and paper for Ben Kaur, and kept drawing the special items in his vision. A fresh-keeping container used to transport seafood.

"Your container is so complicated. I'm afraid you need about 3 magic patterns on each side to realize it. It costs at least a hundred gold coins."

"100 gold coins?" Mace said in surprise, "Is it so expensive?"

"That depends on whether Lanlong sells you or not. I haven't seen a similar container in the market, but the nobles in Dragon Tooth City have become more tricky in recent years. If you are not the supply of salt for Lanlong's family, You can’t buy it for sure.”

"Okay, Wendy, I'll give you 100 gold coins, and you can buy magic ink as you like. As long as you can make this fresh-keeping container before I come back, we will get [-]% of the profit for every container sold in the future."

"Huh?" Ben Kaul looked at Rand in shock, and was even more shocked to learn from Rant's explanation that the clay pot with two magic lines in his hand was the one in front of him. It was only made by girls of Master Apprentice level, and the girls only failed 2 times during the making process.

"You have really obtained a genius magician." Ben said while carefully observing the magic pattern on the clay pot in his hand, "Such a magic pattern that can be assembled and spliced ​​is a test of the painter's spatial thinking ability and drawing ability." Basic skills, such a line, you may not be able to draw it well with an intermediate mage."

"Of course Wendy is a genius." Rand was very happy. "Not only Wendy, Lili, Sophia, Joni, and Firefly also have strong magic talents."

"Then you really found a baby"

"Just picking up treasures is not enough. Beautiful gemstones also need to be continuously polished and planed before they can be placed on the crown. I am here to guard these potential apprentices, but I can only let them draw the simplest magic lines. "

"You're right, so it's best to send them to magic schools in big cities. Only those magic schools can provide them with solid basic knowledge of magic, so that they can develop better in the future." Ben said very seriously, even though Rand also felt that Ben was right.

At this time, Wendy who was still sitting suddenly got up, "My lord, you saved us, we are willing to follow you, and we will not go anywhere else!" After saying that, she left.

"Hey, Wendy, wait for me." Lili didn't care about anything else, and followed out directly

Firefly, who was the last to leave, saluted Rand, "My lord, let's go with Wendy to see if we can make the fresh-keeping container you want. As for going to school in another city, I think it's fine."

The departure of the girls seemed to put an end to the sumptuous dinner, and then Rand's two brothers and several knights also resigned and left. Rand had to invite Ben Coul to the lord's room for a chat.

Lante knew that several girls were so resistant to going to school in big cities because of their previous experiences.

To put it bluntly, in the schools supported by the big nobles, the main tasks of the noble children are to get married, get to know each other, and continue blood and connections. Girls like Wendy are ridiculed when they are poor in their studies, and excluded when they do well.

One can imagine Wendy's resistance to going to school.

However, in the eyes of Ben Kaur, Wendy is showing her loyalty to her lord. If girls are allowed to see the magic of magic, their natural magisters will know that a Viscounty cannot support their resources for magic exploration. need.

"You have also seen that the previous school experience of these children has some influence on them." After arriving at the lord's room, Lante said.

If there is a suitable opportunity, I will let them go to a magic school in a big city, but before that, I hope you can guide them more. "

"I will, but I still hope that you will consider sending him to a big city. I believe that with the guidance of a magister, Wendy can become a high-level magician within 10 years. If she can get the guidance of a legend, it will only be more quick."

Well, what Ben Kaur said, in Rant's view, is to say that if he can be a student of an academician, he will definitely be a professor in the future.

As expected, the family is rich in paladins and mages, and they don't talk about it at all.Lante taunted the mage in front of him, and suddenly remembered.

"By the way, your surname is Kaur. Is your ancestor the legendary mage Kaur, the disciple of the God Emperor?"

"Yes, I am the No.15 grandson of His Excellency Kaur."

"Oh, I've been admiring you for a long time, I just said that I always feel that you are kind." Rand hugged his thigh without any psychological burden.

According to Ben Kaur, Yeqi City is a city built by ancient civilizations on the Benma Plain, connecting the subcontinent where the human race is now, and the central mountain range at the core of the continent.

And this city has completely gone through the civilization of the gods, the civilization of the goblins, the civilization of the orcs and the civilization of humans. These civilizations left a large number of magical relics in the city.

The ancestor of the Kaur family, the legendary rune mage and disciple of the God Emperor, His Excellency Kaur, lived in Yeqi City for several years before he entered the legend, specializing in the study of magic relics in the city, and participated in the reconstruction of Daqi City at that time .

It is for this reason that Ben Kaur hopes to return to Yeqi City and explore the footsteps of his ancestors.

"I will do my best to support your exploration, but I hope you can share your research results with me when you leave."

"Yes, I will copy all the runes and magic circles that I can understand, so that your subordinates can learn them in the future," Ben changed the subject, "But I suggest that you go to the imperial capital to find some people who are interested in going there. The magicians of the Galloping Horse Plain, I am afraid that the magicians of the Dragon Kingdom have no interest in such a remote territory as the Galloping Horse Plain."

Rand knew that Ben was telling the truth. In the entire Galloping Horse Plain and the Northwest Territory, magicians and priests were rare. Before he met Gandalf and Wright, Rand only knew that there was a magician raised by the Earl's family in Maned Wolf City. and priests.

The magic turbulence on the Galloping Horse Plain will affect the growth of magic plants, the absorption of potions, the use of magic, and the growth of magicians. It is basically a forbidden area for magicians. Only people like Gandalf and Wright who take pleasure in penance, It is possible to come here voluntarily.
