Of course, the reason why Fire Phoenix is used for design is not only to allow Land of Misfortune to be reborn from the ashes under his leadership, but also to allow Daughter of Misfortunes to be reborn from the ashes under his own leadership.

However, Nalant did not point it out to the three women, which seemed too deliberate.

"Oh... a divine bird that rivals the gods, and is even more powerful than the dragon. Sir, let's use it as the badge of Storm Territory. It's so impressive to say it like this!" Sherry was knocked by Nalant, touched his head and shrank, but now he knew the meaning of Fire Phoenix, and immediately proposed Fire Phoenix as the badge.

"Is this your opinion? What about Vivian and Catherine?" Nalant looked at the other two women again.

"Sir, I think this Fire Phoenix leaf is more beautiful than the Swordwood leaf, and I agree with Sherry's suggestion!" Vivian nodded immediately after hearing this.

"Sir, the Fire Phoenix you designed is more beautiful and sharper than the eagle. It is more suitable for showing your authority!" Catherine agreed without hesitation.

They are not flattering Nalant just because Fire Phoenix was designed by Nalant.

Whether it is an eagle or a Swordwood leaf, each has its own strengths and weaknesses. The one that is delicate enough is not powerful enough, and the one that is powerful enough is not refined enough.

But Fire Phoenix is different, it is exquisite, sharp and mighty.

Moreover, this is a magical bird that they have never heard of before. It seems that there are very few nobles who would use Fire Phoenix as their family emblem, which further highlights its uniqueness!

"Okay, let's make it this way!" Nalant could see that the women's expressions were genuine, and they immediately made the decision.

After the badge was made, it was time to name the castle.

Originally, Nalant wanted to have a big discussion like a badge. In the end, it was already midnight, and Nalant directly chose Lucky Castle as the name of the castle.

This is easy to understand. Others say that Storm Territory is Land of Misfortune, because Daughter of Misfortune often appears here.

But now Daughter of Misfortune has become Daughter of Luck, and they are all gathered in his castle, so Lucky is the most appropriate name for the castle.

In addition, the name of Misfortune Village has also been changed to Lucky Village.

After one operation, the night got deeper, and Nalant directly asked the girls to go back to sleep.

Before leaving, he gave them several drawings proposed by the three women.

"Oh! Thank you, sir, you are such a generous man!" Sherry The little girl held the drawings and smiled from ear to ear.

Vivian and Catherine also carefully put away the lord's calligraphy treasures.

Early the next morning, Nalant notified Thomas of the emblem, castle and Misfortune Village's name made last night.

Thomas was immediately shocked when he saw Fire Phoenix's drawings.

"My lord, you are truly a learned nobleman. I feel that your knowledge is no worse than that of any baron or viscount!"

"Okay Thomas, let's make arrangements. You can go to the blacksmith John to make this badge. As for the flags and the guards' smocks, remember to ask the tailors to be careful. The labor costs can be increased appropriately, but the quality must be good!"

Nalant waved his hand, he felt that the comparison behind Thomas was a bit strange.

He may not be able to compete with other nobles in terms of combat power, but his cultural quality is definitely not comparable to these 'old haters'. After all, he has received nine years of compulsory education...

After explaining the matter about the badge, Nalant had breakfast and headed to Wheat Leaf Village without stopping.

"Sir!" In an open space outside Wheat Leaf Village, a kiln more than two meters high stands here. It is Nalant's test brick kiln.

"Open the brick kiln, take out the bricks and take a look!"

Nalant nodded and directly signaled the two serfs responsible for guarding the brick kiln to open the kiln.

Upon hearing this, the serfs immediately started to move, holding an iron bar and began to pry the stone at the front of the kiln.

The temperature during the kiln firing process is very high, so soil and stones can only be used to seal it.

Following the nimble movements of the two serfs, a hole dozens of centimeters in size soon appeared in front of them.

The two serfs quickly wrapped their hands in linen cloth and began to take out bricks from it.

Mario stood aside and watched with great curiosity. He had heard of firing pottery before, but he heard that firing pottery requires adding a layer of secret glaze on top, so that the fired pottery can be used and hard.

But by directly burning the soil, he didn't know what he would get and what its use would be.

"Sir!" Soon, the first brick was taken out of the brick kiln, and the serf immediately wrapped it in linen and handed it to Nalant.

"Hey! Not bad!" Nalant was slightly surprised when he saw the brick in his hand.

Originally, he was wondering whether this first brick-making would fail, but as he squeezed the bricks, he found that the hardness was no different from the bricks in his previous life.

What's more important is that the green bricks are more delicate and smooth than the red bricks. Who said they use better materials?

"Yes, take out the other bricks inside too!"

"Sir, what's the use of burning these bricks?" Seeing Nalant smile, Mario finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the burned clay looked ordinary to him, the fact that the lord was satisfied with it meant that his work was done well and there were no mistakes.

"Well, this can be used to build various buildings! Whether it's a house or a wall!"

"Build a house and a wall?" Mario was stunned. Not to mention whether the mud blocks could really be piled up that high, the house would collapse even if it rained!

Nalant saw his doubts and handed the green brick directly to Mario.

Mario touched it, and his eyes widened the next moment, "Sir, it has become so hard!"

"Yes, the soil will harden after it is burned! And you are no longer afraid of rain!" Nalant nodded.

"But sir, we don't seem to have added a secret glaze on top, right? Why does the clay harden after being burned?"

"Mario, adding that layer of glaze is just to make the pottery waterproof and harder, but in fact, even if it is clay, it will harden after being put in and fired!" Nalant didn't expect Mario to ask such a question, so he explained casually.

As for the more detailed and profound principles, he himself couldn't figure it out.

Later, with the efforts of the serfs, all the dozens of green bricks in the kiln were taken out.

In order to test the strength of all the bricks, Nalant did not leave any of the green bricks behind, but violently destroyed them all with a hammer.

The result of the violent test is that the hardness of these bricks is almost the same as the red bricks of the previous life, and they can be used as building materials.

"Haha, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to happen in one go!" Nalant was so happy.

"Mario, the next process of making clay blocks begins, use the plan with the least cracking! As for the manpower, you can recruit it yourself from the territory."

"And you can continue to fire the kiln here two more times according to the process this time, making sure that the results of the two times are the same as this time!"

"If there is still no problem with the bricks, then the construction of a large-scale brick kiln will start! Expand the construction according to the appearance of this kiln!"

"Yes, sir!"

Thanks to the "cat fart devil" boss for the reward!!!
