I have n’t seen him for more than a year. Arthur ’s figure has become more rounded, making his large brown long dress feel cracked, and he wears a soft hat of the same color on his head, showing a familiar and unrestrained posture with Lucien. .

In the Kingdom of Holm, no matter the weather is hot or cold, gentlemen must go out to wear formal suits, or suits, or double-row long dresses, or hunting suits. At most, there is a difference in thickness in materials, which is completely indistinguishable from their dress. season.

In this regard, Lucien secretly slandered, and the coats of other magicians are magic robes, which can automatically adjust the temperature and humidity. It does n’t matter what they wear, and if this group of guys who do n’t even have a formal knight rank have arrived in the south, In the Star Empire, the Kingdom of Burriana, etc., don't you have to pass by in the summer?

"Welcome back, Evans." Arthur Fat smiled warmly and warmly on his face.

After the cooperation of "Minerals and Harvest Company", the relationship between the two has become much closer.

Lucien took off the black top hat on his head and prepared to give it to Leo. He smiled and said, "Arthur, I didn't expect you to be the first to visit me. I knew it without telling other friends. . "

"Evens, you don't need to take a hat. His Royal Highness invited you to a private party. We said as we walked. Hey, over the past year, several different models of Jinji La have been promoted smoothly, with high income and profits!" At this point, Arthur couldn't help rubbing his palm, showing his inner excitement.

Lucien stopped, wondering: "What is the private gathering of His Royal Highness?"

"It ’s a gathering of nobles organized by His Royal Highness. The nobles inside have the most enlightened attitude towards the magicians. Especially after seeing the success of Jinjila and the predictable follow-up benefits, they all want to cooperate similarly with the magicians. So His Royal Highness wants to invite Evans to join you in the past, and to meet them, they are also very curious about you. "Arthur roughly explained a few words.

Then, he seemed to feel that the relationship between the two was close due to the binding of interests, so he regarded Lucien as a dedicated researcher, and a magician who did not understand human interactions analyzed the benefits in detail for him. "Evens, this is an excellent opportunity for you to expand your network. Many of them are big nobles. In Luntat, they have a long-standing power in various counties and occupy a lot of resources. Although you are a magician and have a bright future, many solutions are not necessary to waste your own. Time, once a broad network of contacts is established, a letter can solve many problems. "

"In addition to their powerful knight strength, these enlightened nobles are more or less connected with some high-level magicians, which will bring you great help."

"Thank you so much for your kindness. Let's go now." Lucian agreed with a smile.

In fact, after I came back, I became a disciple of the storm, and there was no need to pass through the nobility with the high-level magician. However, Prince Patrick was the uncle of Natasha. It helped me a lot, and even took out the benefits of his share in the Holm Mining Federation as a reward for promoting environmental protection. This kind of humanity has to be considered.

And knowing with the big nobles, it is indeed conducive to their activities in the Kingdom of Holm. In the future, the civilian promotion of some alchemy products has to rely on them. They do n’t have so much time and energy to do similar things.

Besides, the convenient era of kidnapping the big aristocracy and making the people accustomed to "magicization" is a matter of effectively stabilizing the foundation of the magic council and slowly weakening the church. Lucian, who has the spirit of "ownership" of the magic council, is very willing.

Woo ~ The whistle sounded, the clamoring iron wheels collided with the track faster and faster, and the magic steam train moved forward with a rolling, unstoppable momentum.

"Even if I have been sitting many times, I ca n’t help but feel shocked when I see the magic steam train moving. It shortens the distance between the two cities by a lot and brings unbelievable Convenient, especially the freight magic steam train near the mine has reduced our previous transportation costs to an unimaginable level. Evans, why does the Magic Council not cooperate with us to build the magic steam train line? Several years have passed, There are less than ten lines now! "Arthur Doyle looked at Lucien with great distress.

Lucien chuckled and said: "This important" resource ", of course, the Magic Council must be in his own hands, and the royal family should also think so." To lay lines in the Kingdom of Holm, the king cannot be bypassed, so the royal family A large amount of income was shared in it, which significantly improved its own financial resources.

"Resources? Right! From another point of view, lines and trains are indeed resources." Arthur snapped his lips. "Unfortunately, it is His Majesty the King who personally presided over this matter, otherwise there is hope for the Mining Federation ..." He seemed to complain a little to the king.

However, he quickly calmed down and took out a brown paper envelope and handed it to Lucien: "Evens, there was no annuity due to the initial construction cost in the previous year because of the initial construction cost. There was no annuity until the last eight months. After the Kingdom was promoted, the income of Jindi La had an explosive growth. This is your dividend, hehe, you are a magician, so your annuity from shares is paid monthly. "

Lucien took the envelope and opened it and saw a small, thick red book with double marks of magic and magic.

"Thirteen thousand quintals."

Considering that it did n’t take long to promote, the average monthly dividend of more than 1,000 quintals is considered to be very lucrative. If all four countries have such strong support, Lucien expects to earn 10,000 quintals a month. It will no longer be a dream. At that time, in the stage of high-level magician, daily experiment and pharmacy expenses will be no problem at all. At best, if you want to buy good equipment, conduct some high-cost experiments, and use some excellent pharmacy, advance Saving for a while.

It can be seen that the high-level magician is definitely piled up with money. He is not a rich earl and cannot afford a high-level magician.

"Knowledge is wealth." Lucian sighed heartily.

Arthur said confidently: "Wait until it is thoroughly promoted and stabilized, I am confident that Evans will receive five or six thousand quintal dividends a month."

He suddenly sighed: "Unfortunately, such a huge profit has greeted many high-level magicians. In other three countries, high-level magicians have developed new alchemy materials and cooperated with nobles to establish companies. Double. "

This situation is expected by Lucien. Money, a lot of money, and a lot of money are enough to drive people to explode a powerful force. Sooner or later, high-level magicians will bypass their alchemy schemes to synthesize new types of "fertilizers." This is one of the driving forces for human progress.

Seeing Arthur slightly looked at himself with hope, Lucian smiled and comforted: "We started earlier than them, this is the biggest advantage." Since they can pass the review of the Magic Council, the alchemy plan of these high-level magicians is There must be no place where I can find fault.

Development cannot be stopped. It can promote the expansion of the industry and allow more farmers to get a bumper harvest. It is also a good thing.

Luntat, six-pointed star platform.

The coachman of the Holm royal family, Bock Bifu, was very excited to walk back and forth on the platform, and from time to time looked at the smooth and sharp buildings around them. They were very different from the entire Lentart architectural style. A mysterious cold taste.

With the increase of magic steam train lines, more and more platforms are built, coupled with the existence of alchemy workshops in the suburbs and other places, the magic council is slowly weakening the mist that envelopes the platform, trying to make more people reach alchemy The product, exposure to magic, eliminates the fear in their hearts.

Due to the entanglement of interests, the nobles took a discouraged or opposed attitude towards this matter, and the isolated church had to watch it happen.

Polk is different from most ordinary people who are a little afraid of magicians. When he heard the legend of magicians since he was a child, he did not envy those heroes and priests, but wanted to be a magical, powerful, and scary magician.It's a pity that he didn't have the talent for magic until middle age, and he could only continue his career as a coachman.

In the more than ten years of the royal family, he had more or less contacted some magicians, but none of them made him so excited.

"... The bumper harvest of oats in the field is shocking to me. There are golden and golden everywhere ... This is the first time there are so many surpluses after paying the lord's tax ... That kind of gold is a little expensive, but It ’s worth it, the kids at home do n’t have to be hungry anymore! You do n’t need to subsidize your salary! ”

This is what my mother said to Polk when she was a guest from a village outside the city. The excitement and happiness impressed the farmer ’s son, and a heartfelt joy broke out, and all of them are grateful for the invention. Lord Majiro, the noble magician.

For the farmers at the bottom, being able to eat enough and not being hungry is the greatest luxury!If we can save another sum of money to give the children a better future, it is the blessing of the Lord!

"This is the real hero ..." Polk saw the long monster-like train standing in front of him, while sorting his clothes, and said to himself inwardly.

The car door opened, and Polk saw Mr. Arthur Doyle walk slowly down with a handsome young man in a long black double-breasted gown. The monocle he was wearing on his left eye made him a little more gentle and gentle. Temperament.

"He's Mr. Evans? So young? Yes, magicians have potions to keep them young!"

Bok walked a few steps and greeted him: "Hello, this is the coachman Bock sent by His Royal Highness, is this Mr. Evans?" Even if there is Mr. Dole beside, it must be confirmed that this is the royal rule.

"Yes." Lucien lightly jawed her head, then stunned to see Polk kneeling on his knees, and kissed his clothes corner in a church pose.

"Thank you for bringing hope to the farmer."

Tears burst into tears in Polk's eyes.
