Chapter 36 36. What's so funny?

Xidan came to Lowe and said, "Good morning, Lord."

"Good morning, Ms. Hidan." Lovi turned over and climbed down from Anus' back, patting the wrinkles on his clothes.

"It's an honor for you to come here for inspection, but there is one thing I must remind you of, that is the danger of Dragon Teeth Plain. Do you know why it was given this name?"

"Because there's a dragon."

"That's right, Dragon Fang Plain is not a human territory. The dominant party is dragons, and it is extremely dangerous."

"The area around the city should be safer."

"It's safer than the deep plains, but we can't rule out the possibility of large dragon beasts appearing. That's why we need to keep building and raising the walls here."

Lowe showed a look of surprise. No wonder the height and thickness of the western wall were more than twice that of the eastern wall.

"Anus, where are you running to?" Lan Lan suddenly shouted.

The ice wolf moved as fast as the wind, its eyes fixed on a fat rabbit that jumped out of a hole.

The two started a wolf-rabbit race and disappeared in the blink of an eye. About half a minute later, Arus returned with the fat rabbit in his mouth. He ran back with his tail wagging to ask for credit.

No one would have thought that danger was coming . The predator in the sky quickly dropped from the clouds. The shadow of the spread wings was hidden in the shadow of the canyon.

No one noticed anything unusual until they entered Lowe's mental perception range. He raised his head suddenly, his face changed drastically, "Be careful."

Lodel and Hidan were too far away and it was too late.

In a flash, Zoe raised her bow and arrow, accurately hitting the pterosaur's throat.

The pterosaur lost its balance, deviated from its trajectory and crashed into the ground. Everyone rushed forward, attacking with their swords and blades.

Anus was so frightened that his fur stood on end, and he whimpered in fear, and the rabbit fell to the ground.

"It's so dangerous!" Lowe dispersed the elemental flames burning in his hands.

"I'm sorry to have scared you. Pterosaurs normally don't appear in the canyon." Hidan explained guiltily.

"It's okay." Lowe remained calm and walked closer to the dead pterosaur.

Its body size is no more than 500 to 600 pounds, yet it dares to attack a bigger ice wolf?

The overlord of the sky is indeed arrogant!

The dead pterosaur was carried away by the guards, and everyone returned to the city with it.

"Lord Xidan, I need your assistance with something."

"My Lord, please speak."

"First thing, I need to count the population of the territory. I told you yesterday."

"It has been arranged. The specific results will be available today. Please rest assured."

"Very good, the second thing. I will issue a recruitment order. One month after I leave, please post a notice at the door of the Executive Office to recruit people with various talents. Those who are interested can come to Fulin Castle to interview me. Whether the specific talents are valuable will be judged by me."

“Why in a month?”

"It involves the payment of remuneration, so I need to go back and prepare."

"I see." Hidan nodded slightly, "Then, what talents do you desire?"

"We need talents in governance, business, construction, and blacksmithing and carpentry. We also need people with good looks, people who can distinguish different plants, people who can find minerals, etc."

Hidan took note of it in his mind, "I understand."

"I will give the most basic reward to everyone who comes to Fulin Castle to apply, which is ten silver coins. This will make up for the time lost during their round trip. That's about it."

I wanted to mention the maid recruitment plan, but now that Lodel is around, it's better not to mention it. I'll let Mossophie handle it when I get back, and I'll make the final choice.

Lowe tried hard to suppress the smile on his face and kept a serious expression.

Lodel looked at Lowe suspiciously and felt that something was wrong with him.

The sound of blacksmithing.

Upon learning of the lord's arrival, the blacksmiths in the workshop did not stop working, but worked even harder.

In the iron furnace burning with coal, the apprentice with a face covered in black ash was blowing air hard.

Luo Wei didn't mind the harsh sound of iron forging. He looked at it for a long time and asked, "What's burning in the furnace?"

"Black Stone."

Xidan took Lovi to the warehouse of the blacksmith's workshop. The ground was full of scattered coal blocks, some of which were piled up more than a person's height.

Luo Wei was in a daze for a while, then slowly bent down and picked up the coal. "Black Stone, how do you use it?"

"Ordinary black stones will be given to citizens for burning and cooking. The carefully selected black stones will be handed over to blacksmith workshops to be used as fuel for forging. The smoke from burning black stones is poisonous, so please remember not to bring them into the house for heating. Otherwise, your life will be in danger." Xidan stated calmly.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"The temperature of black stone alone should not be enough to smelt iron." Lowe said with a deep look.

Xidan himself didn't quite understand such a professional question, and shook his head: "I don't quite understand, blacksmiths have their own methods. But generally speaking, it requires a closed environment and air blowing. Some blacksmiths will use magic patterns to increase the temperature. Or add something in it."

"I understand. Have you ever seen a black viscous liquid? It usually comes out from the ground or rocks." Lovey gave a general description.

Hidan fell into deep thought: "I have seen it, but it is useless. The black smoke from burning can block vision and interfere with humans. Do you plan to use it in war? Perhaps it can create an effect by catching the enemy by surprise."

"Please, try to collect this black oil for me."

"Yes, sir."

When Lovi left the blacksmith's workshop, his steps became lighter. Finally, he couldn't help laughing.

Luo Deer and Lan Lan watched the whole process and looked at each other in surprise.

"My Lord, what's so funny?" Lan Lan asked curiously.

"I can't tell you" Lovi restrained his smile.

The second stop of the inspection was the woodworking workshop.

Compared to the demand for ironware, the demand for woodenware is greater, so the workshop has more people.

Lowe made a quick inspection and made a request to Hidan.

"There is a new type of tableware. I hope you can help promote it and let as many people as possible learn it."

"No problem." Xidan agreed readily.

Next, everyone went to the stone workshop with the largest number of people to watch the workers chiseling the stone slabs.

Dongwei City is located in a high mountain valley. The stone industry is very developed. Residents need to use a lot of stone blocks to build houses and city walls.

The cost of hand-polishing stone strips is very high.

Basically, they are in a loss-making mode. In order to maintain this industry, the Executive Office will spend a lot of money to subsidize it every year.

Lowe looked at the busy workers and turned away thoughtfully.

In this situation, it was impossible for him not to think about cement. But his mind was empty and he had completely forgotten the specific proportions of the materials.

I should have learned it before. I can only go back and use the meditation mirror to try to retrieve my memory.
