Chapter 268: 266: Killing All Around Alan (Subscribe)
Lion Manor.
Inside the Mechanical Mage Tower, the empty top floor.
Lilia looked at the bald old man with white beard not far away with a confused look on her face.
He was looking through a thick stack of documents, which were the design drawings given to her by Loyi, and included most of the machinery needed for processing.
Turning, boring, milling and grinding are the basics. In addition, there are auxiliary tools such as cutting machines, angle grinders, drilling machines, etc., which are basically available.
The more the white-bearded bald old man looked, the more surprised he looked at his face and the brighter his eyes became.
Luo Yi didn't know him, but Lilia did!
She had some interactions with His Majesty Bartholomew, and naturally knew much more clearly than Luo Yi about his terrifying strength and lofty status.
It can be said that even the magical machinery of the Habsburg Empire can stand in the highest hall and argue with others without giving in.
The cooperation between the Empire and the Raymond family involves all aspects of magical machinery, and requires such a big figure to take charge.
However, what she didn't expect was that this person actually quietly entered the Mage Tower and looked through the design drawings?!
However, before Lilia could come to her senses, the old man had already thrown down the drawings and walked up to her.
There was a moment of silence in the air, as if neither of them knew what to say.
Suddenly, His Majesty Bartholomew spoke up: "I will not accept you as my apprentice!"
“Ah! Ahhh?”
Lilia shuddered and blurted out, "But I didn't say I wanted to be your disciple, did I?"
His Majesty Bartholomew's face turned red, and he felt a little embarrassed.
However, he was always cunning and sly. He changed his mind and said righteously: "It's impossible for me to accept you as a disciple, but I can help you manufacture these magic machines as quickly as possible!"
Lilia was not stupid either, and immediately said, "Then I'll have to trouble His Majesty Bartholomew!
But where do we start?"
"First, show me the design drawings of the magic lathe, and I'll help you streamline the magic pattern control system.
If there is anything you don’t understand, you can just ask? "
"OK!"
Lilia was also straightforward. She brought a large pile of blueprints and started working with this real mechanical disaster.
…
Luo Yi naturally didn't know what happened in the Mage Tower, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Because he knew clearly that there were only benefits and no disadvantages.
After he checked the purchase order with the imperial ambassador, he left. The specific goods still needed to be communicated between Lord Water and the empire, and then arranged for someone to deliver them.
That will take some time!
After Luo Yi returned to the manor, he also began to deal with various trivial matters.
For example, the letters he sent to his subordinates and friends in Auckland City received replies.
Obviously, they also discussed it and gave a unified time.
That is, after the Divine Grace Festival, at the beginning of the new Divine Calendar 313, they will take a boat to the Flower Forest to play.
Loyi immediately informed Butler Hoover about this matter, asking him to keep it in mind and make arrangements.
There is a saying: If you don’t return to your hometown when you are rich and powerful, it is like walking in fine clothes at night.
Luo Yi has worked hard for so long and has finally established himself among the nobles. If he doesn't show off in front of these old friends, he always feels that something is missing.
Apart from this, the only thing worthy of Roy's attention was the Douglas Magic Steel Plant outside Auckland, which was finally completed.
Douglas Hill personally took charge and directed his apprentices and workers to smelt the first batch of steel.
When the waste slag is cleaned, scraped away and transported away, the red-hot molten iron is slowly poured into the mold at extremely high temperature.
The cooled iron ingots emit a cold metallic luster, and each piece is so heavy that it seems to weigh thousands of pounds.
Douglas boasted in the letter that he had produced nearly ten tons of qualified steel in his first furnace.
The furnace is opened every day, day and night, and we can produce about 14 furnaces, which means 140 tons of steel ingots.
Calculated in this way, if a month is 30 days, the output is 4,200 tons, and the output can reach 50,000 tons in a year of twelve months.
That’s a full 50,000 tons!
If you ask a blacksmith to hammer away at something, he'll probably keep hammering away forever.
Even if hundreds or thousands of blacksmiths were to work together, it would be impossible to reach this production capacity.
But now, it can be done with just one magic steel furnace, and the efficiency is so high that it has increased by at least dozens or hundreds of times, which is unimaginable for mortals.
However, Douglas's show-off seemed a little ridiculous to Roy.
If Shenlan remembered correctly, in the previous life on Blue Star, a steel plant with an annual output of 50,000 tons was at most a small steel plant.
Even among small steel mills, it has the lowest production capacity.
However, in this world, in the Old World, it is definitely enough.
The steel mill outside Brussels is actually not much different from the Douglas Magic Steel Mill, and its production capacity should be the same.
However, there are still many requirements to achieve this.
For example, raw materials, such as iron ore, must be sufficient.
Therefore, in order to mine iron in the Dome Mountains, magical machinery must be used; the roads required for transportation must be paved with rails.
It must also be connected to the railway tracks laid in Brussels, otherwise it will not be able to meet the factory's production capacity requirements.
It can be said that these are closely linked, and only when the conditions in many aspects are met can a qualitative leap be achieved.
In fact, in Roy's cognition, the development of science and technology has always been led by theory.
Then, all technical conditions must be met and satisfied before the final disruptive results can be achieved.
A single breakthrough cannot actually lead to technological innovation. Even if outdated technologies appear, they are mostly in the laboratory and cannot be put into production.
But this world is different after all. With magic, many things do not conform to the rules in his mind.
Luo Yi made a few notes casually, focusing on these ideas. Then, he threw the document away and started looking at the next one.
That was a letter from Knight Alan Wells. The whole letter can be summed up in four words: Kill everyone!
In fact, Loy's information channels were not limited to him. There was also Grand Knight Vincent Ackerman and messages from Grand Duchess Aphra.
Combining all the information, we can only say that Alan Wells really demonstrated Roy's strategy to the fullest.
Then, the entire city of Auxerre became his home ground, which was really like going against everything.
Everyone was speechless!
…
Auxerre city.
In the House of Noble Elders.
Alan Wells stood on the podium, his head held high and his eyes looking down upon everyone present as if they were garbage.
"Who is my Lord Earl?"
"Some people privately call him the Bastard Earl!"
“It seemed like the only way to belittle him was in that way, and I asked, I really did.
I ask, Lord Earl, you don't seem to mind your illegitimate status? You don't mind some people calling you that?
"Do you know what my Lord Earl answered?"
"He said, it's not something shameful to talk about, it's how I came here!
Listen, listen to this, what a broad mind and what a proud heart this is!"
"My Lord Earl, who is not even twenty years old this year, is already a third-level extraordinary warrior. He is truly the King of Lions and has led us to victory twice!"
"In the east, the army of the Marquis Carlisle family is like a bunch of chickens and clay dogs, even though he summoned a fourth-level natural disaster and a half-dragon to take action.
But so what?
Didn't you, a half-dragon, escape in disgrace?!
Didn’t the Marquis of Carlisle lose his head?!”
"To the west, on the Silver Sea, there's Davis, one of the three great pirate kings. It's rumored that he's a brutal pirate who could make a child stop crying.
But so what?
You're kneeling down and begging for surrender before my Lord Earl, like a dog!
After a few days, when you reach the Silver Sea and see the magic warship again, you will see the lion flag flying.
Don't be surprised, because that's the flower-capped navy on patrol."
"Today, right here, I'm very curious, what qualifications do you have to reject the kindness of my Lord Earl?"
"That person is you, yes, Marquis Sean Castro. You are the Marquis, high and mighty, but I still want to say something.
If you have the guts, just pull out the legion?
If you can defeat the Knights of the Lion, I will go and tell my Lord Earl that we don't need such a large ransom."
"If you don't dare, just shut up!"
"Who else? Oh, by the way, Lord Ricardo McKinley, what qualifications do you have to hold the Flower Lord accountable based on strength?"
"How about we stop talking now? Let's go back to our respective homes and bring out our respective legions to fight and see who's the better one?"
"Do you have the guts? Do you have the guts?"
"My Lord Earl said that at worst we can just fight again. Who's afraid of who?"
"My master also said that this time, the territory is fine, but the ransom and compensation must not be reduced at all.
Otherwise, we will lead our troops to take it!"
"Yes! I'm talking about you guys. Don't you want to inherit the Marquisate of Carlisle?
Shouldn't the new Marquis of Carlisle give an explanation to the Lion King?"
"Look at Earl Wick, he was very straightforward. He just paid the compensation and that was it.
Look at you guys, a bunch of trash!"
It has to be said that Alan Wells used all his taunting skills, covering everyone indiscriminately, and even the two high and mighty marquises did not give him any face at all.
In the entire aristocratic meeting hall, the only voice that could be heard was his arrogant voice, which he spoke slowly and unhurriedly.
Second floor,
In a box.
Old Marquis Floyd looked at Alan Wells with a rather interesting expression.
He couldn't help but turn around and ask, "I saw him last time, as one of the candidates for the earldom. Wasn't he this crazy then?"
"Could it be that Luo Yi's [Lion King] has become so powerful?"
"Also, is he really not afraid of being beaten to death?"
Grand Duchess Aphra had a smile on her lips, as if she was watching another good show.
After a pause, she replied, "I'm just asking you, is it effective?"
"I guess Sean, Ricardo and the others are probably mad as hell right now, but they don't dare to take action. No one dares to take action!"
“Because they are really scared!
Fearing that news of Alan Wells's death would reach Flower Territory, Loy led the Lion Knights and went straight to their door!"
Old Floyd suddenly asked, "So, do you think Roy can do it?"
Grand Duchess Aphra's smile remained unchanged. She knew: "Logically, no, the nobles are always calculating.
But the problem is, Luo Yi is very young, very young, and youth is always full of vigor and youthful recklessness!"
"So, who knows?"
Second update, to be later!
