Transcendent Noble

Yuanbao, Regent King Chamber.

"This is the iron brick I fired according to the method provided by Duke York. It is hard, heavy, smooth, and regular, and fully meets the requirements for building a castle. It turns out that my wife, your queen , Anna and her uncle is not a liar, he did not lie-there will be a cast iron castle."

The fifteen-year-old King Edward Augustus wore a brown blouse, brown trousers, and held it in his hands. A new iron brick from the cellar, with a face filled with mud and a smile filled with excitement and triumph, like a young craftsman who made a work for the first time.

The palace minister Marquis Ludwig clenched his fist to his mouth, coughed, and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, no one here thinks Duke York is a liar... I really want to know who is in front of Your Majesty Defamation of the reputation of the York family?"

"Huh?" Edward was full of consternation, hid the iron brick behind him, and said with a smile: "I... these two days are too windy, I might listen It's wrong."

"Do you still have to ask?" Marquis Goron's deep voice resounded throughout the chamber. "Lora deliberately deceived the king to tell Edward to build a kiln and burn bricks in the palace garden. Someone criticized Anna's uncle. Huh, the bricks were burned out, and Lora didn’t know where to hide."

Guardian of Yuanbao deeply understands the playful and silly nature of Augustus’s descendants, and he tried to court the hall in the little king. As he moved his feet, he said again: "Your Majesty, this is not a royal meeting, but since you have already come, you might as well stay and listen."

Edward turned his blue eyes with a sincere expression. Said: "I...I'm covered in mud, I want to take a bath, change my clothes, and listen to your discussion."

"I just said that this is not an imperial meeting. "Marquis Goron didn't give the young king a chance to escape. He pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit here."

I'm so stupid, I was deceived by the elder sister again... Edward felt a pain in his heart. He scolded himself for being stupid, and at the same time used his brain, planning to find an excuse to slip out of the chamber. He didn't want to listen to the long talks of important court officials.

"Aiya! Aiya...Aiya..."

Suddenly the young king hugged his stomach, secretly squeezed his face flushed, and groaned in pain, "I have a stomachache." It must be something unclean...I'll go back first..."

As he said, he staggered towards the side door, and Marquis Ludwig said to himself seemingly inadvertently "Isn’t my face pale when my stomach hurts? What's the matter with Augustus Your Majesty's face flushing?"

Marquis Goron poked his spine with his eyes, and Edward suddenly gnash the hate. teeth, secretly vowed to make Marquis Ludwig look good after he took office. But he immediately realized that on the day he took office, Marquis Ludwig had already returned to the embrace of the Lord of Radiance. This made the little king very frustrated. He stood at the door without saying a word, with his back to the chamber.

"Edward, um, don't take down the brick kiln in the palace garden. I want to try it later and burn a few iron bricks."

"Okay, Williams Uncle."

The little king was overjoyed, jumped out of the chamber, and ran away without looking back.

Goron turned his head and glanced at Williams who had nothing to do with him, remembering that this guy on the throne used to roll on the floor when he was fifteen years old. Edward's trick of pretending to have diarrhea is nothing compared to his behavior when he was young.

"I really want to try the iron brick manufacturing process." Regent King shrugged Gambis said with an innocent face, spreading his hands.

Guardian snorted of the Augustus family, instructed the Night Owl spy commander standing next to him: "Varus, tell me what Night Owl has mastered."

"More than eight years ago The York family claimed that the giant brick kiln was invented by Finikse Baron’s elder brother, Sir Anthony York. However, the first giant brick kiln in Centaur Hills has a Randal collar, and it still produces blue bricks. There are ample signs that His Royal Highness Randal Invented the first giant brick kiln."

"Unbelievable!"

Marquis Ludwig shook his head and said: "I have seen the design drawing of the giant brick kiln. The structure is very ingenious and fully meets the requirements of architecture. As far as I know, His Royal Highness Randal has not studied architecture... Eight years ago, he was less than 20 years old."

"But he has wisdom innate talent." Varus said in the interface: "As far as we know, His Royal Highness Randal can accurately calculate the height, slope, and volume of the hills with just one glance. On the way to the lord, he first encountered a fierce jackal. The surprise attack awakened the Wind Travel innate talent. After arriving in the territory, he found that the York family had not built a castle at all. He could only lead his followers to camp on the hill. He was mentally and physically exhausted and was in a coma... we guessed At that time, His Royal Highness Randal’s bloodline mutated, awakening a rare innate talent of wisdom."

Miyaxiang held the beard of his lower jaw and said with restraint: “I don’t doubt His Royal Highness Randal’s extraordinary wisdom. But architecture It takes enough accumulation to design a giant brick kiln. I prefer that His Royal Highness Randal put forward a clear idea, and Anthony .York scholar helped him perfect the first giant brick kiln. After all, Finikse Baron is a close companion of His Royal Highness Randal, she It makes sense to tell his big brother to do something for his lover."

Williams knocked on the table and asked amusedly: "Ludwig, does it make sense to pursue this question?"

"Yes!" Marquis Ludwig replied without the slightest hesitation: "Clearing the context of things helps us to judge subsequent changes. We must at least understand Lord Anthony.York in the iron How much weight is in the brick feast? Does he have a giant specially used to produce iron bricks? Brick kiln design plan? Anthony is just an ordinary noble scholar, he has no ability to protect himself, and he is particularly vulnerable to outside forces. "

Marquis Goron exchanged glances with Regent King, and asked the Night Owl commander: "Sir Anthony's recent situation, does Night Owl have any control? "

"He has been supervising the construction of the southern fortress of Centaur Hills, often with the priest, and there are two rose knights beside him. "

Marquis Goron nodded, said: "It seems that the York family attaches great importance to Anthony's personal safety, but this is not enough. "

"I also doubt whether the York family has the ability to stop external forces, especially Sasan Empire's coveting of iron brick technology. "Williams lightly said with a smile: "I'm sure, even if Centaur Hills has Sylvia and Victor, the two Legendary princes, the spies of the kingdoms have to enter Centaur Hills to spy on relevant information, and Sir Anthony is theirs. The primary goal. "

The minister of Ludwig Palace said with a laugh: "The views of the two Highnesses are consistent with the judgment of the court secretary. "

Williams controlled the pace of the dialogue, waved his hand to stop the palace from talking about the conclusion of the court think tank, turned his head and asked: "Can Night Owl determine the inventor of the iron brick?" "

Varus had a bitter smile on his face, and bowed and said, "His Royal Highness, before the iron brick feast, Night Owl didn't even know that Centaur Hills had iron bricks... However, we reorganized the relationship with the giant With regard to brick kiln-related information, His Royal Highness Randal once reached a blue brick procurement agreement with the Wellington family and the Nimes family. Hand over the design drawings and brick making process to them. However, before the ten-year agreement was over, Duke York publicly displayed the iron brick. This shows that the York family did not master the technology of producing iron bricks at the time. Instead, the York family assigned craftsmen to develop iron bricks capable of building fortresses in order to break through the blockade restrictions on the stone trade. Viscount Randal was promoted to His Royal Highness. Centaur Hills has enough confidence to sell iron bricks and giant brick kilns, and guarantee its own interests...Iron bricks should be invented later. "

Williams turned his gaze to the Marquis Ludwig without comment, and asked: "What is the result of the clerk's discussion?" "

"The York family should have more superior technology than iron bricks, perhaps another type of iron brick, or another giant brick kiln. "

The palace minister stepped forward, picked up an iron brick on the table, and said: "It uses 10% iron powder, 10% stone powder, and 80% clay, mixed with a special straw pulp solution, and put it in the kiln. Fired in. The iron brick itself is particularly hard and heavy. According to the architect's estimate, a fortress built with iron brick requires a deeper foundation to be dug, which means that the height of the iron brick fortress is not as high as that of the limestone fortress. Therefore, the construction cost of iron-brick fortresses is not cheaper than traditional fortresses...even, it is difficult to popularize. Because any kingdom is impossible to have so many iron materials to produce iron bricks. "

"However, these shortcomings have no effect on the actual use of iron bricks. "

" Transporting iron powder, stone powder and firewood is definitely easier and faster than transporting stone. What's more, the remaining 80% of the clay can be obtained locally. The height of the iron brick fortress is limited, but it is enough to resist orcs who are not good at climbing. As for the iron reserves, except Sasan Empire believes, there are a large number of rusty and damaged ironware in other kingdoms, and these artifacts can be used as a source of iron powder. Moreover, the iron brick fortress only needs to be piled with iron bricks on the outer layer, and filled with blue bricks, gravel, rammed earth and mortar in the middle, which greatly reduces the amount of iron powder and does not affect the solidity of the fortress. "

"Bricks have the advantages of regularity, corrosion resistance and fire prevention. The efficiency of building fortresses and towns with bricks is much higher than that of limestone, and there is no need to consider resource factors such as forests and quarries. As long as there is water and bush fuel, they are under construction if they want to build there, fortifications, production facilities, Residential facilities will soon take shape. The key lies in the capacity of the giant brick kiln and the quality of the bricks, as well as abundant fuel. "

"The strategic value of iron bricks and giant brick kilns cannot be measured by Kinsol. If we master the relevant technologies, we will never exchange them with the lords of the countries for gold coins. The keel steel of the Kingdom of Dodo is the key material for the manufacture of ballistas. Sasan Empire’s centaur and red bison leather, Naville’s ore, Suse’s medicine ingredient and mythril, and Borui’s fine gold are all strategic materials we desperately need. It is not a material that can be bought with money. We will only exchange iron bricks with giant brick kilns for the trade share of these strategic materials. "

"pa! "

The Marquis Ludwig patted the iron brick on the table, coldly said: "Enbis .York exchanged iron bricks for millions of gold Thors, it's too talkative!" "

After a while, Marquis Goron said solemnly: "Good things will not be sold easily unless they have better things. "

Varus couldn't help but interject: "Master Ludwig, please forgive me to speak bluntly. You may have underestimated His Highness Randal's vision and methods... His Highness Randal encouraged his people to invent and create. Under the crown of Clement, he helped the Randal Family to invent straw paper. On this basis, Randal craftsmen improved the papermaking process and invented mutual aid coupons. Black paper. His Royal Highness Randal can sell black paper to the outside world, but he has disclosed the black paper craftsmanship and declared that anyone who can improve the black paper craft or have other inventions can receive high rewards from the Randal Family. "

"His Royal Highness Randal is using the wisdom of more people to promote technological progress. "

Williams nodded: "It's true...Iron brick technology is too hot. Unless you don't use it, no one has the ability to monopolize the iron brick manufacturing process. Since the craftsmen of Centaur Hills can invent iron bricks, our craftsmen can also improve the production technology of iron bricks. Sylvia and Victor still sell iron bricks. If a family's iron brick production process has a huge breakthrough, he has to share it, at least sell it to Centaur Hills in the form of gold coin. "

Marquis Goron stood up suddenly, paced back and forth in the chamber, stopped and asked: "What if the York family has better technology? "

"Iron bricks and giant brick kilns can now be exchanged for the kingdoms' share of strategic material trade, but Centaur Hills only sold several millions of gold coins. If they have better iron bricks and better brick kilns, what are they going to exchange for? "

The chamber was silent for a while, and after a while, Marquis Ludwig said with a wry smile: "This problem may not be the only problem for us... His Royal Highness Randal's wisdom is hard to guess, fortunately his style of behavior. It is more moderate, can always take into account the interests of all parties, and seeks the most favorable external environment for Centaur Hills and even the Kingdom of Cambes. From this point of view, we don't need to worry too much. In fact, the kingdoms and churches are not very resistant to the iron-brick feast and subsequent changes. "

He paused, and tried to say: "His Royal Highness Randal was born in Kite Castle, and is also the Royal Highness of our Kingdom of Cambis...Shall we talk to him directly? I think, no matter what his Royal Highness Randal has, he needs the support of the entire Kingdom of Cambis. "

At this time, an attendant knocked on the door of the room. After receiving a response from Regent King, he came in and bowed and said, "Your Highness, Greer count of the Moonbear family just announced that Tatun dukedom has purchased iron. The rights to brick technology are guaranteed by Wimbledon marquess. In addition, His Royal Highness Randal has entered Blinol City. "

Everyone was stunned, and Williams couldn't help standing up and asking: "What's the matter?" Didn’t the two majesty’s vehicles arrive in the royal capital at noon? "

The attendant replied respectfully: "Mrs. Sylvia is still in the convoy, and His Royal Highness Randal came here alone. "

"Where is His Royal Highness Randal now?" Blinol cathedral? "The Marquis Ludwig frowned and asked.

"No...His Royal Highness is in the Kite Castle, with the Queen Mother Catherine. "

Marquis Goron couldn't help showing a knowing smile, waved back the attendant, and said in a relaxed tone: "We don't have to rush to disturb Victor, let him and Catherine mother and daughter get together first... Now, all The right to purchase iron brick craftsmanship has been determined. What impact will the iron brick feast have on Gambis’ diplomacy? "

Ludwig Palace also smiled and said: "Sasan, Dodo and Borui will not change." Suse’s Branstedt family is York’s traditional allies, and they are now Augustus’s in-laws. Although they currently do not have a Highness, iron bricks can enhance their influence in the Suse Kingdom. This is good for us and harmless. Mrs. Dolly of Naville is Duke York's biological mother. The Dekaiser family as it should be by rights can get the craftsmanship of iron bricks. However, Centaur Hills gave her the right to buy the iron brick craft, probably because of the potential connection between the Dekaiser family and the Rand Empire leader. His Royal Highness Randal didn't give up on the port on Fes Lake. Regarding this matter, the four His Highnesses need to discuss it once... I just remind one thing that both Suse and the Borui Kingdom have the ability to build Fes Lake port in the territory of Rand Empire. "

Williams was nodded expressionlessly, avoiding the topic of the Neowest family, waved and said: "Today's discussion will not be fruitful, Ching Ludwig, Ching Varus, you Go back first. "

The palace minister and the leader of Night Owl bowed and retired.

When they walked away, Williams looked at Marquis Goron and said, "I noticed that in the iron brick feast, Radiance The Knight regiment failed to exert any influence. The secular lord expected Centaur Hills to come up with better iron bricks or giant brick kilns. Everyone vaguely formed an alliance... Is this a delicate situation deliberately created by Victor and Sylvia... Perhaps they finally wanted to unite with the secular lord to force the Radiance Knight group to make some concessions? "

Marquis Goron nodded, patted Williams on the shoulder, walked towards the chamber gate.

"Let’s watch the changes... Victor is also the Guardian of Kite Castle. "

Williams stared at Marquis Goron's majestic lion's back and exclaimed: "Goron Uncle, are you so sure I can't see Victor's plan?" "

"Can you see through his thoughts, I'm not sure...I can't see through anyway. "

The Regent King of Gambis sat on the throne of the Chamber for a long time, scratching his hair, and wondered in distress:

What on earth does Victor want to do?
