Chapter 474: Promoting Friendly Exchanges between Elves and Humans

The experimental sword used by the dwarf craftsmen is certainly not a magical weapon, but it is not some garbage made of inferior iron.

The sparks that flew from the collision with the chain mail also showed that the dwarf had obviously not used much less force because of the threat from Lady Ellie's wand.

Obviously, the protection is good.

This kind of chain mail is certainly no match for magical weapons. Elite professionals with high-quality weapons can easily destroy this kind of armor.

Chain mail's defense against weapons is far inferior to that of normal plate armor.

But how much does plate armor cost? How much does chain mail cost? How much does chain mail cost when made with wire using a hydraulic wire drawing machine?

But how many magic weapons are there in this world, and how many elite-level and above professionals are there?

Chain mail, which is made by drawing wire with a hydraulic wire drawing machine and then hammering rings, can be mass-produced.

Making chain mail is not easy. It is a very time-consuming and repetitive physical labor, but compared to most other armor, it has an incomparable advantage.

That is, the skill requirements for craftsmen are extremely low. As long as there are raw materials and tools, and they are willing to spend time and effort, almost anyone can make a set of chain mail in a small workshop.

And the raw materials.

The furnace in the Burning Lands Industrial Zone will solve this problem.

"It looks good." Rand took off the chain mail from his body. This dwarf was really strong. Fortunately, he had a good physique.

The dwarf craftsman also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was very confident in his craftsmanship and had secretly tested it before Rand came to inspect it, only now that it had passed the lord's assessment and been recognized did it mean that this craftsmanship was truly valuable.

The dwarf craftsman was a little excited.

Completing this chain mail is actually somewhat incredible.

Because the steps to complete a set of fine armor are not like this.

To complete a set of fine armor, you need good iron ore.

However, the iron ore in Crescent Territory is all poor iron ore. Logically speaking, the iron smelted from this kind of iron ore can only be used to make farm tools, and even these tools are easily broken. If used to make weapons and armor, it is very difficult to use.

It is really shocking that this lord could even occasionally smelt the legendary alloy "steel" from such low-quality iron ore.

Although the other irons produced do not reach the level of "steel", their quality is still very good.

Chain mail, on the other hand, does not require high-quality iron. Of course, it will be more durable if it is made of high-quality iron.

Of course, it takes a lot of work to complete a sophisticated armor.

After having high-quality materials, we also need skilled craftsmen.

The dwarves were indeed skilled craftsmen, but their skills were barely used in making this set of mail.

If it is forged plate armor, then the force needs to be precisely controlled to ensure that the thickness of the plate is uniform. If you are not careful, the iron plate of the armor may be cracked.

The old dwarf craftsman had some mixed feelings.

Fortunately, chain mail is only a relatively limited type of armor, and there are many other types of armor and weapons that require an experienced blacksmith.

Rand did not notice what the older dwarf craftsman was thinking, and even if he had noticed, he would not have reacted.

Under his rule, there is no need to worry about being eliminated. As technology evolves, human training will naturally follow. It just depends on whether you are willing to continue following Rand.

Every human being is a valuable treasure in Rand's eyes. Experienced craftsmen can switch to many professions.

"Very good. There will be a period of vacation in the future. The next task is to improve the hydraulic wire drawing machine. There is no need to worry about the hydraulic forging hammer and siege equipment." Rand was very satisfied with the results. As for things like siege equipment, he planned to ask the alchemy workshop for its opinion.

This world is full of magic, so there is no need for him to pursue basic technology.

Rand's vision, from the beginning to the end, was to use basic technology to make up for the lower limit, and to use the special power that exists in this world to provide the upper limit.

The only effective forces of the Sanctuary against the city now are the Crimson King Karin and the Bone Dragon resting in the ruins of the Obsidian Tower. Maybe Rand, who is wearing "power armor", can barely be counted, but unfortunately the "power armor" is still under repair, there is a shortage of materials, and the technology needs to be updated. Rand is waiting for a master craftsman.

As for Lysa, Rand certainly noticed Lysa's problem.

Lysa is undisciplined but reliable, mysterious but powerful.

But Rand didn't know how powerful Lisa was, and Lisa had no intention of revealing it, so Rand could only judge her as a powerful top-level professional, at the same level as Elsa.

It can't be that he is the king, right?

The idea that the king of elves is a pervert is really not very "realistic". Anyway, it is difficult for Rand to convince himself to speculate in this direction.

In fact, it is very strange for a powerful elf to stay in the territory of a human lord.

To satisfy her perversion is certainly a small part of the reason.

But Rand didn't ask any more questions.

Eight years of getting along had made the trust between the two sides strong enough. In any case, Rand already regarded Lysa as an indispensable part of the Sanctuary.

"The next stop is Crescent Moon Harbor. We have signed a preliminary trade treaty with the country to the south, exchanging bricks for bamboo."

"Let's go, my dear Duke." Ellie tapped her staff.

…

Just when the master and mistress of the Dukedom of the Moon Phase were working together in the territory.

Vanilla is also working hard.

Vanilla was as busy as ever, sitting in her office processing student information.

She thought that she would have some free time once the church school hired more teachers.

Now I can only say that I am a little more relaxed, but not much.

The reason is simple: with more teachers, scholars, researchers, and mages, the size of the church school has also expanded.

As the director of the teaching department and acting principal, although Xiangcao’s teaching duties have decreased, her management work has increased.

But Vanilla has long adapted to this kind of life.

Even a little cozy.

As she became more skilled, her work efficiency improved a lot. Rand was not really as "evil-hearted" as the legend said. In any case, Rand did not assign her more work because of Vanilla's improved work efficiency.

Now the probability of Vanilla working overtime has been greatly reduced.

After a while, Feng Ling, the former captain of the elf field team, knocked on the door and pushed it open.

Place a glass of hot milk on the table with the vanilla.

Then he said helplessly: "I actually think that drinking milk can make you taller is a lie made up by Lord Rand."

Vanilla glared at Fengling fiercely: "I just want to drink milk."

Feng Ling smiled and said nothing: "Okay Ms. Vanilla, what do you want me to do next?"

"You passed the year-end assessment, and you will be promoted this month. It seems that Lord Rand is very satisfied with you." Vanilla took out a document, "Next is Lord Rand's third attempt to promote friendly exchanges between humans and elves. You are responsible for this."

Feng Ling has joined the Holy Land for some years, and she has completely given up the idea of ​​returning to the Elf Forest.

At first she was worried that the lord would take a fancy to her and bring her back to his mansion to humiliate her.

After all, her appearance is definitely top-notch.

It turned out that Rand had no such idea at all, but was very interested in her work ability.

Now she understood why Vanilla said not to worry about being noticed by Lord Rand.

First of all, it is obvious that there is no shortage of beauties around Rand, and the probability of being favored by him is very low. Secondly, even if Rand really favors you, you obviously still have to work and cannot be the lord's lover who eats and drinks for free.

Finally, it seems that Lord Rand actually respects personal wishes? This feeling is actually very strange.

As the master of this land, Rand can make all the decisions on his own.

Rand can do whatever he wants.

Rand did exactly that. The decisions he made were unquestionable and allowed no opposition.

But the strange thing is that Feng Ling, as a captain of a field team who is often on the road, always feels that Rand prefers to use other things to guide others to do something rather than forcing them to do something.

For example, using guaranteed living conditions to promote childbirth, and using high welfare and respect to attract people to join the military.

It is clear that Rand could have set the target directly, but obviously, Rand did not do so.

Feng Ling didn't think any more about it, took the document, and said with a twitching expression: "Okay."

Elves with long ears have a bad reputation among humans.

Whether in the eyes of the villagers or in the eyes of the nobles.

The reason is simple. The elves also have slave-hunting teams, and the truce between the elves and humans has not been too long.

It is obviously difficult for two races with different lifespans and appearances to understand each other.

Everyone in different human countries looks similar and has a similar lifespan, yet they still fight each other to the death from time to time, let alone two races with different appearances and lifespans.

But RAND came up with this document.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Although it is only circulated internally, it is indeed official in nature.

Rand wanted to promote mutual understanding between elves and humans, at least within the territory.

This is quite intriguing if you look into it more deeply.

The number of elves active in the human world is pitifully small.

Just like in the Duchy of the Moon.

The only elves that people often see are Vanilla, the teaching assistant elves in the church school, the elf maids in the tavern, and the mysterious and arrogant elf, Lisa.

"Oh." Fengling sighed and said goodbye to Vanilla.

Of course she was happy about the promotion, as it meant higher salary, more freedom, and respect.

There are countless novel goods in the holiday villa, which Feng Ling really wants to experience.

But this job of promoting friendly communication between elves and humans made Feng Ling very uncomfortable.

In short, idol activities.

It’s not the kind of idol activity that Rand had before he crossed over.

It's just a voluntary performance.

This was paving the way for Rand's subsequent troupe plans.

But it does not prevent Rand from achieving multiple goals with one thing.

Now is a good time to promote mutual understanding between humans and elves in the territory.

Feng Ling is considered a knight among the elves and belongs to the nobility. When she was young, she learned art appreciation and the basics of music.

So after Rand learned the news, he decisively arranged this job.

The full name of the plan in this document is "Street Music Performance and Promotion".

The competent department is the Holy Land Publicity Department, which is the department where Karin worked before.

Feng Ling returned to the residential area, changed into a performance costume, put on some makeup, then picked up her violin and went out.

The performance costume brought out her curvy figure.

Not all elves are beautiful, and there are many ugly ones among them.

But Fengling, the field captain who was both Vanilla's mentor and friend in the past, is indeed good-looking.

This is why she was worried about being attacked by Rand at the beginning.

Feng Ling's teammates were already waiting for her.

There are humans from the Propaganda Department, and fellow elves.

"Then let's go." Feng Ling's eyes drooped, "The audience has been waiting for a long time."

The band members, who were also dressed in gorgeous costumes, were all ready.

Everyone came to the street side of the holiday villa, where a simple platform was built. Opposite the platform was the tavern.

From time to time, the aroma of wine wafts over from the pub opposite.

On the simple stage, the ruins lights have been lit.

The rosy-lipped wind chime touches the violin strings with her bow.

The area was already full of spectators.

"Next, please enjoy - "Wildfire"

There are no lyrics, just an ensemble that works in harmony with each other.

Either exciting or soothing.

【Questions that cannot be answered with justice may be answered with ambition.】

…

Fenris has already set out with the army of the Sanctuary.

Marcus' son, the current Duke of Thorn, Adrian.

In theory, this young man would be the most popular young generation in the entire Frost Moon Kingdom.

It’s still the same now.

Previously Rand was classified as a member of the younger generation, but no one classifies him that way anymore.

Rand is indeed young.

Both his looks and his enterprising spirit.

But to classify him as part of the younger generation is a bit unfair to the real “young generation”.

Adrian inherited the title early, and his father inexplicably became the king. In theory, his life should have been smooth sailing.

I didn't expect that my fiancée was robbed.

Duke Adrian's fiancée is the eldest princess of a medium-sized country in the south.

Adrian had not chosen a fiancée until King Marcus ascended the throne.

A purely political marriage.

The Frost Moon Kingdom is located in the southern part of the Northern Union, directly bordering the two powerful southern countries, the Kingdom of Lensa and the Kingdom of Borun.

If a conflict breaks out between the North and the South, the Frost Moon Kingdom will be the first to bear the brunt.

So after the undead became everyone's common enemy and the conflict between the North and the South eased, this king, who was shameless but had a clear vision, did not hesitate to make a marriage contract with a southern country.

In this way, when the Southern Kingdom and the Northern Alliance come into conflict again in the future, the Frost Moon Kingdom will not be too passive.

Back then, when Rand was not even a noble, the Kingdom of Lensa directly launched a war and killed the old king of the Frost Moon Kingdom. Marcus still remembers it.

"Fenris?" Adrian smiled.

Fenris sighed. He didn't expect that Duke Adrian would come in person to take back his fiancée. This put a lot of pressure on his work.
