"...It smells so good."

A week later.

Sunak looked at Ron who came to inspect the construction site with complicated eyes, and his blue body hummed out a few words.

The air djinn stretched out its hand to stir up the magical energy around it. When it saw the energy storage device built under its own supervision lighting up with bright blue sparks, Sunak glared at Ron again in humiliation.

"I was coerced!"

"You're right." Ron curled his lips. He just came here today to check on the progress. Unexpectedly, this guy's enthusiasm was much better than he expected.

Ron did not coerce him. The reason why Sunak stayed here for more than a week was entirely this guy's own problem - within two meals, he was completely conquered by the wine brewed by the kobolds.

He didn't even ask for payment for working here. As long as the kobolds could supply him with plenty of wine, he helped Ron build the first factory to mass-produce simple tools and transform those craftsmen from simply repeating things. Free from labor.

As a knowledgeable Djinn noble, Sunak really has a way to implement Ron's plan, and the way to implement it is not difficult: only some "spellcasters" who can release simple tricks can make the entire factory operational.

Perhaps it is still far from being completely separated from magic, but such demand is already very low, and - why must magic be separated?

Ron has many young men and women from the Rose City here. These young people who have received systematic aristocratic education, regardless of whether they have magic talents or not, can at least use magic to light a pipe for themselves, which is enough for factory work. . Before, most of them could do nothing but participate in militia training and other miscellaneous tasks, but now they finally have a chance to show their value.

"But I have to warn you, Ron, this is just a temporary measure." Sunak blew out the lightning on his fingertips and looked at Ron with a serious expression. "This method will cause considerable damage to the equipment. In the short term, It’s not bad, but the maintenance cost alone will be a big expense if it continues like this for a long time.”

After all, someone who can only use magic to light a pipe cannot be considered a real spellcaster. Although the air djinn has found a way to adjust the way magical energy operates, this is not a permanent solution.

"Professional matters should be resolved by professional people. I suggest you find and consult some Gond believers. They are experts in this field. In addition, don't you have a planeswalker friend? You can ask him for his opinion. Among so many worlds, there must be some worlds that have formed such a system, and he should be able to help you. "

"As for me, I can't always stay here as a maintenance worker for you, but maybe in the future, after I have visited those worlds, I can come back and give you some advice - but don't wait for me, I don't want to What I saw when I came back was that the assembly lines were all scrapped due to poor maintenance.”

"You don't have to worry too much about that," Ron smiled, "I don't know how to build instruments, but I always know a little bit about maintenance. With your drawings, this factory will be able to operate normally for at least a few decades."

As long as we can survive the recent big crisis.

"Decades... that's not enough," even though Ron said this, Sunak still showed a slightly unsatisfied expression, "I may not come back when. Maybe I live a good life in some world, no It’s possible to come back.”

"That's impossible, I have to visit you in person -"

Ron paused for a moment, turned around and looked back, where a girl wearing a red dress but wearing a helmet as a helmet was standing there, holding a stack of documents in her hand. Ron looked closely and could probably make out the shape of a tower above.

"Annie, are you here to check and accept the results?" Ron looked at the Civil Warlock who had made great contributions to the construction of Dreamland. Now she is responsible for the architectural planning of Green Marsh Town. Of course, this factory is also under her control. Designed and constructed under supervision. Looking at the documents in her hand, she probably has some new projects.

Generally speaking, winter is not a suitable season for starting construction. In Ron's hometown, the month when construction could start was only less than half a year. Various factors led to the construction time often being measured in years, but those problems are Anne is nothing here.

Even under the glacier, this warlock who specializes in this must be able to make the project go smoothly.

"This place has been inspected several times. The next time we come back will be in a month." Annie's eyes turned into two crescent moons. After spending time with Ron and others, she is no longer the timid little girl she was before. , "I'm here to report to you a new construction plan - a mage tower."

"Mage Tower?" Ron raised an eyebrow, "Miss Gilennis finally decided to rebuild her 'kingdom' here?"

"Oh no, it's enough for Miss Gilennis to say that she has a research institute," Annie smiled. "A legend as powerful as her, even if she only has a tree house, is probably more powerful than an ordinary mage tower."

"What I want to apply for is my own mage tower."

"I remember, you are not a warlock?"

"Warlock means talent, and mage means acquired learning. I don't think there is a conflict between them, my lord."

"It's been almost a year since I came here. In my heart, this place has become my new home. I really hope to leave the buildings that are so important to me here. I hope to continue to shed my sweat for this land and use my strength to transform this land."

"I hope you can be magnanimous and allow my humble request to have a place in your territory for my small shelter."

Annie has her own reasons. Warlocks are mostly those who have magic in their blood. Magic is part of their bodies, but those who are born with the ability to cast spells are not necessarily limited to becoming warlocks.

Many famous wizards showed extraordinary magical talents when they were just born, but they did not waste them, but used this to improve their skills. Such people are naturally much faster than others on the road of casting spells.

Ron was very pleased that Annie could find her own way out. If he remembered correctly, he had persuaded this girl with the innate earth and wood body to study magic, but she did not give a clear response at that time. Now it seems that she has figured it out.

In this case, what reason does Ron have not to help her find her way? It is a great thing for the Delusion Land to have a new powerful spellcaster!
