The mage connects his soul to the magic circle, which not only strengthens his soul but also gains magical power.

Therefore, the mage can not only feel the magic power, but also the power of the magic ring and the power of the soul.

In the eyes of low-ring mages, or more precisely, mages below the eighth ring, there is almost no difference between the three.

But in Rosen's eyes, there are obvious differences in levels among the three.

The order of the power of the magic circle is level 1, the order of the power of the soul is level 2, and the order of the power of mana is level 3.

I originally thought there should be nothing between the magic ring and the soul.

It turns out there is more!

So, on the night when he received the true name mark, Rosen practiced in person in the underground secret room of Swan Castle.

During his practice, he clearly felt the endless power of the Dharma Ring, which was as vast and boundless as the void of the universe.

I also felt my soul, like a solid planet floating in the universe.

The planet is his soul, and the atmosphere covering the surface of the planet is his magic power.

Because Rosen's magic power has reached the peak of the Ten Rings, no more power from the cosmic void representing the magic ring can descend upon the planet.

Only when Rosen's mana is depleted and the strength of his soul is slightly reduced due to the transfer of mana, the magic ring will begin to transfer power again to make up for the consumption.

That is to say, in dynamic balance, Rosen can only replenish mana from the magic ring, but cannot strengthen his soul.

But now, a small pipe appeared directly on the ground of the Soul Planet, continuously pouring a gentle force into Rosen's soul.

Compared to Rosen's soul, the amount of water flowing out of the 'pipeline' is very small, and it may not increase the strength by 1% even after a year of filling.

But this is a step further.

He was at the peak of the Ten Rings, so what would it be like to raise it by another 1%? Rosen hardly dared to think about it.

"Mother Nature said that the eleven rings are divergent. What will happen if I break through?"

Don’t do anything rash before you figure it out!

Therefore, Rosen decided: 'I will temporarily reduce the frequency of practicing the Linking Ring, and use this strange power to replenish part of my soul loss to maintain the balance of soul strength.'

But maintenance alone is not enough, research is also needed.

As a visitor to Earth, I couldn't help but have an idea in my mind.

'This is most likely the power of the believers' faith.'

"This power is very subtle, even I can barely sense it, and those below the tenth ring naturally cannot sense it."

"If I understand this power, I may be able to safely break through to the eleventh ring."

How do we figure this out? By conducting experiments, of course.

"But this experiment has never been done before. It is a research from scratch, which is extremely difficult and requires a huge investment."

What for?

Of course!

If he wants to see the scenery of the eleventh ring, he must do it.

But there are some rules to how to do it.

Because this experiment involves the study of the soul, it is easy to go astray and be branded as depraved and evil.

Rosen is very careful about his reputation and doesn't want to be scolded for it.

After careful consideration, he decided to follow the process of developing new drugs on Earth.

"First, conduct experiments on mammals, and find answers from pigs, sheep, and dogs. Once you have enough experience and are sure of safety, then conduct experiments on monkeys. Finally, look for human volunteers."

After making up his mind, Rosen began to write the experimental plan.

As I was writing, I realized that the investment in the experiment was indeed quite large, and it would cost at least millions of dollars.

If this were a powerless wizard, he would either have to sigh in despair, or go astray and be killed, or he would have to gamble his life on luck.

'Fortunately, I am a duke now and can afford it.'

"But, money is needed everywhere right now, so we have to find it quickly."

Switching to paper money is one way, but this way is just reallocating the resources of the giant island of Weilan, and there is a safety ceiling.

If money is printed without restraint, hyperinflation will immediately occur.

Therefore, if you want more money, you have to make money from other countries through trade.

Of course, we have to take the first step first.

While thinking, Rosen completed the preliminary experimental plan. After writing it, he did not keep it, but scanned it into the Fuji database and then destroyed the original.

No words were spoken that night.

Early the next morning, Rosen immediately got up and rushed to the newly established banknote printing factory next to Swan Castle, also known as the Weiland Mint.

The bureau uses high-quality printing equipment produced by Levinder, green-textured paper from Kahor, and the latest ink developed by Vico.

The printing equipment was purchased at no cost; it was obtained from the materials seized by the Levender merchants.

Levinder plotted against him secretly, so naturally all his previous words were invalid. The materials with a total value of about 3 million Ogers were naturally confiscated by him.

But it must be said that Weilan is truly a desert of magic technology, and it is almost a completely impoverished rural village.

Technology in all aspects of society lags far behind the three kingdoms of the alliance.

If you want to catch up and surpass others in all fields, you will not only need to put in tremendous effort, but also invest huge amounts of money.

"In the future, it will cost a lot of money to buy magic equipment from various countries. Fortunately, there are no patents these days."

Rosen plans to proceed in two steps.

Taking the route of imitation, we must first solve the problem of creating something from nothing, and then solve the problem of making something better from something we have.

Back to the topic.

The printing press has started.

A large group of novice apprentices from Weilan, led by a group of printing masters hired from Kaor at high prices, began to try to print the first edition of exquisite paper money.

Rosen, accompanied by the new director of the Mint, looked at them one by one.

Finally, the two came to a special magic workshop in the basement of the printing factory.

In the laboratory, a group of fourth-ring magic masters are already in place.

There are as many as 100 masters of magic, all of whom are born as commoners in Weilan, have no bad records in the past, and have clean families. Their average age is around 35 years old.

These people are basically newly promoted masters of magic who have been stuck at the peak of the high level and have always been just one step away from a breakthrough.

But as soon as "Rosen's Practice Path" was released, a large number of 4th-ring masters emerged within a few months.

The workshop is very spacious, with a 24-hour constant temperature and ventilation array, and the indoor lighting is bright and soft.

All in all, the working environment is very comfortable.

There were 20 rows of long tables, with five magic masters sitting in each row.

In front of the long table was a pile of printed rectangular banknotes, about half the size of an adult's palm. The paper was brittle and hard, and was waterproof, oil-proof, and resistant to folding and crumpling.

Because of the huge quantity, after the large amount of costs were spread out, the cost per piece was about 0.5 copper kle, which is equivalent to 50 cents on earth.

There are currently five denominations, namely 100, 50, 20, 10, and 5, and the unit is the "klee" used in copper coins before.

The masters of magic have also begun to work.

They followed the standard procedure, picked up the ink-dried banknotes, and began with the first magic master, printing the anti-counterfeiting magic seal on the exquisite banknotes in five steps.

The anti-counterfeiting seal is named "three-color seal".

It was designed by Rosen with great effort, incorporating his deep understanding of the 'power of steel', 'power of nature', and 'power of pure water', and was equipped with a constant spell lock that even he himself could not crack.

Its appearance is exquisite and eye-catching. It will show a dazzling three-color glow under the sun. When you touch it with your fingers, it will give the toucher a very wonderful feeling, a bit like the delicate feeling of a young woman's skin. Anyway, it feels very refreshing to touch.

Of course, the masters of magic could not understand the essence of the three-color seal.

Their job is just to infuse a bit of their own magic power into the special 'three-color seal', and then print the strange power transformed by the seal on a fixed position on the banknote.

As low-level mages, they cannot feel the power of high levels, but they can use the finer details of high-level powers with the help of high-level instruments crafted by high-level mages.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Under the special positioning calipers, the banknotes flow on the long table like water, and finally enter a box. They are inspected by the quality inspectors in the next room. After confirming that there are no problems, they are packaged in a standard way.

In addition, there is a separate set of reviewers operating in the workshop.

Examiners and coiners are not allowed to communicate in any form, whether during working hours or after working hours.

And every once in a while, the reviewers would be replaced to prevent them from becoming familiar faces in the eyes of the coin minters.

In addition, there are many higher regulatory agencies that implement cross-border supervision without loopholes to ensure that the whereabouts of every banknote can be traced.

During the entire inspection, Rosen did not speak.

Soon, he came to the final finished banknote frame and carefully examined the finished product.

The pattern on the banknote was obtained by him inviting art masters from all over the Natural Alliance and spending 2,000 Oggs in design fees.

On the front is a majestic bust of him in formal attire, while on the back is the outline of Weilan's map, as well as shadows of airplanes, Black Stone battleships, etc.

Finally, various complex anti-counterfeiting patterns and a very unique three-color seal are added, which looks exquisite and elegant, just like a work of art.

After looking at it carefully for a while, he nodded and praised: "Very good."

After adding the three-color stamp, the final cost of the banknote is 1 cle.

In other words, a piece of paper worth 1 kale can be exchanged for at least 5 copper kale, which means 4 kale more out of thin air.

And these 4 cleats are the seigniorage collected by Rosen, the Duke of Vilan.

The Director of the Mint accompanying him was none other than Cavendish's father, Master Goss, the former Director of the Artillery Research Bureau.

The old man was old and could no longer operate the "booming" artillery, so his son Alshut was able to take on the responsibility. Rosen was impressed by his meticulous character and invited him to supervise the Mint.

Now it seems that this decision was a very good one, because the banknotes are not only of good quality, but also very stable, just like the cannons made by the old man.

Seeing that Rosen was satisfied, he was also happy, but he still felt that the banknote was very worthless.

"Duke, I am not the only one who has this question. We all have this question."

"Can such a small-denomination bearer deposit certificate be used?"

In the past, the smallest deposit certificate was 50 Ogg, and there were even 1,000 Ogg. Now the largest one is less than 50 Ker, which is equivalent to half a Ker.

How much should be printed to be enough for the market?

Rosen smiled and said, "In the past, the nobles were very rich and didn't mind spending money. They would easily spend hundreds or thousands of Oggs, and tens of thousands were common."

"Now we are all citizens of Weilan, and the average annual income is less than 10 Oggs, which is about 150 100-kleinor sheets. That's about it."

Rosen picked up a small stack of banknotes and said, "Isn't it just right to use it?"

Goss still couldn't figure it out: "Wouldn't that mean we need a lot of deposit certificates? Our mint's output is not enough."

It seems like a lot, but after a busy day, the total face value of the deposit certificates produced is less than 4,000 Ogg.

"We are not in a hurry to roll it out. We will first use it on a pilot basis in Mont County. If the market response is good, we will then expand the scale of production."

After looking for a while, he came to Goss's office and asked, "Old man, you have accumulated about 50,000 Oggs in savings certificates so far, right?"

"Yes, there are 54,000 Ogg certificates of various denominations in the warehouse."

"Very good. Then you should try to save up some money. It would be best if you could have a deposit of 300,000 Ogg. I have also started to build momentum in the market."
