Chapter 158 155.Fish Pond and Magic Workshop
In a pond outside Rothe Castle, the withered yellow Reed beside the pond has not yet turned green. The green water bathing in the pond occupies a large area. On a brown Big Stone near the shore, Water Algae Fairy is flying in the sky.
"Plop!" The goblin dived into the water, leaving only circles of ripples. After a while, it jumped out of the water again. Its almost transparent insect wings kept flapping, bringing Magic Fairy to the head of Centaur Girl by the pool.
"Okay, okay, take it off my hair. The headscarf that I specially selected today, don't get it wet." Centaur Girl is wearing the work clothes Landen bought for her today. It is a dark blue top, the horse body part is modified from a dress and a pair of pants, and the fabric is very strong. However, the girl is unwilling to wear monotonous clothes and wears a beautiful headscarf, which is now wet by Magic Fairy.
Kaiyi likes to be with Magic Fairy very much, but is not happy with them hiding in their hair when they have nothing to do.
Landen, father and son Greyhound, Fang walked to the pond together, watching Water Arrow Fish jump out from time to time, spraying magic water arrows. Next to Fish Pond, dozens of Territory Residents were shoveling hard to open up several smaller ponds around them, and they will merge with Fish Pond in the future.
"You did a very good job." Landen patted his father and son on the shoulders with satisfaction. During this period, Gunter Family and his son worked very hard. They led the hunting team to search the nearby rivers. They were so tanned that they looked like two fishermen from a distance. "How did you transport so many fish?"
"Didn't you ask Wendy and the others to make Magic Cargo Container before?" Greyhound said. He went to Royal Capital with Landen. Naturally, he knew that several people at Wendy could directly produce this kind of alchemy product. "That container is really easy to use, and it even has a pulley."
"Not bad, you can find Wendy to make containers, and Kaiyi to draw Life Magic Array on the pond. You guys really used your brains." Landen was even more satisfied with the initiative of Greyhound and his son. "I think this pond can be modified again. It can be connected to the tributary to build a dam to improve the water quality in the pond."
Seeing that the fish farming situation had improved, Landen began to provide guidance to Greyhound. With the arrival of spring, the grouse, Gray Goose, and were specially raised in the territory. Mallard, wild boar, Guinea Pig have arrived in their breeding season, Long-Haired Sheep and beasts of burden have already started giving birth, while most Black-Scaled Horse will have to wait until next month to reach their due date.
Looking at the fishing pond in front of him, Landen felt that his breeding industry had new hope.
Before lunch, Landen went to his warehouse to check the inventory of wood, stone and Iron Mine stone. Due to the regulations of the relevant departments of the empire, cutting down wild forests was strictly restricted. Even When Hark goes to Great Forest, you can only collect branches from the ground or branches on trees, and you cannot illegally cut down trees. Fast-growing forest wood can only be purchased from Royal Capital. Although the price is very cheap, transportation is quite inconvenient.
The stones and Iron Mine stones in the warehouse are the legacy of the previous Barbarian camps and the predecessor Viscount Rothe. Now that Landen has Earth Fairy, we finally have a stable stone supplier. Iron Mine Although Stone is a specialty product on Gallop Plains, the only Limonite is under the control of the more powerful Brown Bear Tribe. Whether it is Grey Goose Tribe, Landen, or Salt and Iron Department, you can only buy ore from them.
Now there are dozens of tons of Limonite left in Rothe Castle. There are still several tons of Limonite in the original Gray Goose Camp of Salt Mine. In addition, there are several tons of iron ingots in the camp outside the castle, which were seized from various small and medium-sized tribes.
This amount of iron is definitely not enough for him to use for a year. Now it is reported that Brown Bear Tribe will no longer sell Iron Mine. Landen just feels that it is necessary to set up a timetable for marching to conquer Brown Bear Tribe.
The lunch time is always very short. In the afternoon, the children in the camp have to learn skills from the adults, or help the camp weave straw ropes and reed baskets.
Redbird has been very busy in the recent afternoon. She needs to go to Makoto's tent to help count various data in the camp. Not only her, but also Butler's children in the camp, as long as they are about the same age, are gathered together to help Lannia and Makoto count the number of Territory Residents and various supplies.
The tent belonging to Makoto is similar to those of Nancy and Lannia. It is only one size smaller than the living tent of Landen. Both are close to 5 or 6 meters in height and can accommodate several people to live and work at the same time.
There is no classroom layout like Nancy in her tent. There is a reception area in the center, sleeping furniture on the left, and the camp's accounting room on the right. Makoto's desk and chair are in the middle of the accounting room, and behind it is a set of wooden bookshelves. The territory's daily accounts and reports are organized according to time and type.
There are 6 or 7 desks next to the main table. The children sit on the floor mats and compile reports, while Makoto sits on a chair to compile data.
"Redbird, please give these to Sophia and the others, and ask them to help clear them out." Makoto, who was registering in the tent, put a stack of papers on the side of the table and continued counting without raising his head.
The papers currently used for statistical work are all left in Salt Mine's warehouse. Makoto and Lannia had already used them for several times when Landen was in school. Ten sheets. Fortunately, Mage taught Wendy and other girls the magic called "clearing", which can turn the paper filled with words back into a white paper state. Finally, the paper stamps for daily newspapers can be reused.
However, the paper required for each person's file registration of more than 4,000 Territory Residents is still not fully available. We can only record them collectively on a family or tent basis first, and then register on a per-capita basis when conditions permit in the future.
"Okay, Mr. Makoto, I'll take it over right now." The girl took the paper and walked out of the tent, heading to the only Magic Workshop in the camp. It used to be a stable, but it was converted into a workshop after Mr. Wendy came back years ago. Magic Workshop in the camp, Lily, Sophia, Firefly, Johnny will gather there if nothing happens, even this Kaul Mage and Albert, and even the mysterious centaur girl Priest will also pass by.
All the girls originally went to Night-Kirin City with Landen at the end of January, but because there were too few Territory Residents there, they could not carry out the work of Alchemy Workshop. Salt Mine, Wendy and Lily, and the others all returned to Rothe Territory after February 16, and as soon as they came back, they summoned the carpenters and blacksmiths in the territory to start work.
"I wonder what sister Sophia will make today?" Redbird is looking forward to it. Girls' Magic Workshop is a very novel place, and new alchemy items will appear every time they go there.
"Da da da da" Before entering the stable, you could hear the sound of fetching water. "I think this frequency is enough. The most important thing is to break the fibers."
Redbird heard the voice belonging to the lord, and his steps suddenly slowed down. He walked slowly and softly towards the door of Magic Workshop, wanting to observe what was going on inside first.
After the renovation of the former stable, a 3-meter-long earthen wall was added. The girl looked through the gap in the door and first saw several large pottery jars. Those were the works of the girls not long ago. The jars were surrounded by magic Rune, which not only provided temperature, ventilation, and life. Waiting for Rune, there is also the "Gathering Demon" Rune that Ben·Kaul newly teaches the girls. It is said that after drawing this Rune, it can slowly provide Magic Power to the surrounding Rune or Magic Array.
The noise was coming from a square pool next to the water tank. There were several machines on the pool that were constantly pumping into the water, making a "dah" sound.
The girl hesitated for a moment, then pushed the door into the yard. Landen, Sophia, Johnny and Kaiyi beside the gate noticed her.
"Redbird, are you here to deliver paper again?" Sophia is very used to seeing Redbird coming over. At this time every day, she will deliver papers that need to be cleared.
"Yes, sister Sophia" Redbird is more familiar with the girls Sophia and Johnny. He is very afraid of the lord Landen, and his greeting voice is even softer. "Hello, Mr. Landen"
"It's just in time, come here and have a try." Landen didn't pay attention and handed her a bowl with a white semi-solidified liquid in it.
"Huh? Sour?" The girl stared at Landen with wide eyes. This was her first time tasting yogurt.
