Claire didn't let go and pinched her gently. After being pinched, Water Cloud Beast lay back in Claire's arms with a coquettish look on her face.
After being teased, the three of them finally set their sights on Rona. The meaning is self-evident: it's your turn.
After Rona hesitated for a moment, he also tried to stretch out his hand in the direction of Water Cloud Beast and said softly, "Come here."
Water Cloud Beast glanced at Claire, hesitated for a few moments, and then slowly floated over.
Regan couldn't help but grin, thinking that Rona would be soaked by the opponent like him, but what he didn't expect was that Water Cloud Beast rubbed Rona's hand, then ran back and lay down on Claire's shoulder.
"Huh?" The three people who were treated differently were hit hard in their hearts.
Teklin and Regan are even more difficult to accept. Is it possible that these little things really care about their appearance? Then Isaac didn't fall into any good category?
Isaac explained, "Well, it's because she is Half-elf, so it's normal for him to be friendly to her."
This is the only way to explain it, and the three of them will feel better with this explanation.
"It seems that I was overthinking it before. This little guy is naturally fond of you and cannot possibly regard us as his masters." Rona said. Even though she has the ability of the elves to be in harmony with all things, the other party just rubbed her hand and quickly returned to Claire's side.
Claire touched Water Cloud Beast on his shoulder, and he was a little surprised. When he first bought it, he had the leisure to connect it with Mental Connection Method a few times, but then he didn't care about it at all. He didn't expect that this little guy would remember him at that time.
Claire once again performed Mental Connection Method, and performed Mental Connection with Water Cloud Beast who was lying on his shoulder. As soon as the spiritual worlds of the two were connected, Claire felt the cheering mood from Water Cloud Beast, as well as the love and trust for himself.
Then Claire also conveyed his friendliness. Water Cloud Beast, who accepted Claire's emotions, cheered again and circled around Claire excitedly.
Isaac came over again, quickly poked Water Cloud Beast with his hand, and asked, "What kind of monster is this? I have never seen this type of monster before."
Water Cloud Beast showed a "you hate it" expression to Isaac who poked it, then flew back to Claire's shoulder and continued to lie down.
"The world is full of wonders. This little guy should be considered a water-type monster." Claire explained.
Isaac also nodded without going into details. He is not an expert in this field. As for the strange appearance of a cloud, it is nothing strange. Don't slimes look like jelly? Moreover, there are countless planes that the mage has not explored yet. This may be a creature from another plane.
A few people played with Water Cloud Beast for a while, but Water Cloud Beast always stuck to Claire, and after getting familiar with them, they just let the other party poke and poke them.
Then Claire asked Regan to settle the craftsmen and others he brought from the royal capital, and he took Teklin and Isaac to wander around Nafu City.
Seeing the people greeting Claire as they passed by, Teklin and Isaac were a little surprised. They didn't expect that being a lord would have such an experience.
After walking around for a while, Claire took the two of them to Salt Factory and let them watch the operation of the salt-making machines.
Teklin looked at it and couldn't help but want to take out a hammer to smash them and make another one. However, Isaac's reaction was completely different. At first, he couldn't understand the operating mechanism of these machines. After walking around for a few times, he slapped his thigh and applauded.
"How did you come up with your thing? I haven't thought that the formation can be used in this way, but it's just a little imperfect."
Claire raised an eyebrow and said, "There are some imperfections, but you are here, and we can modify it and improve it together."
"My Sledgehammer is already hungry and thirsty. Your forging skills are too poor. It's not at the same level as the things in your mind."
Claire smiled and didn't think it was anything. When he made these machines, he just thought they could be used, but he didn't expect so much. Moreover, since he specializes in the industry, he is not a Iron Hammer expert. There is no need to compare the forging process with Teklin.
Isaac's tone revealed a hint of excitement, "What do you want to do now?"
Teklin took out the heavy Iron Hammer from his waist, "I can do it! As long as you prepare the materials for me, I can make whatever you want!"
Claire saw that both of them were very motivated, and turned to the employees and shouted, "It's a paid holiday today, everyone, go back!"
"Wow wow wow! Long live the Viscount!"
"Yeah! Wow wow wow!"
After all the employees in Salt Factory had left, Teklin couldn't help but move his arms and get ready to fight. Isaac also took out his crystal pen and other tools. The two did not start immediately, but looked at Claire.
Claire smiled slightly and rolled up his sleeves, "Then let's get started! I won't sleep until we finish!"
"A real man can do it for seven days and seven nights!" Teklin raised Iron Hammer and shouted.
Claire said to the machines, "Let's dismantle them first. I'll ask Regan to send the required materials."
When Claire was made, in order to make it easier to move, we simply made it detachable, so it was relatively quick to take it apart, and it was all taken down in a short time.
Then Claire explained the operating principles to Isaac, and Regan also brought over all the eating guys from Teklin and started to burn the stove.
After Claire and Isaac felt the heat, they stood up and sat in farther and cooler places. Even Water Cloud Beast stayed far away and ran outside the factory.
After the general idea was finalized, Teklin began to make the original metal plates into more sophisticated machine parts according to the needs of Claire and Isaac.
Isaac is also in constant discussion with Claire.
"I think if a mithril pattern is added here, the magic power will be transmitted faster and the salt can be transported faster."
"That's not fast. It's already flying. The salt behind it has already been transported before it can be connected to the salt on the conveyor belt." Claire persuaded the other party earnestly.
"Then let's remodel the furnace and add sun gold. In this way, the seawater entering it can be turned into coarse salt and transported out in less than a second, and we can keep up."
"We are building a salt-making machine, not Magical Artifacts. There is no need to add such expensive materials." Claire continued to persuade.
Isaac still can't change his habit of using luxurious materials. He even dares to talk about things like sun gold. Even Archmage may not have one in his hands, and Claire may not be able to afford it after selling it!
However, with Claire balancing on the side, the cost was finally controlled to a level that was not exaggerated.
As time goes by, the new salt-making machine has slowly taken shape. Isaac has begun to prepare to engrave inscriptions and formations. Before, Claire was not good at this, so he only built a simple fire-based array heating furnace, and other things were only up to the standard of being usable.
The formations and inscriptions modified by Isaac were engraved on key positions of the salt-making machine. In this way, the efficiency of the machine was greatly improved, at least five times that of before, and all the manual steps that could be saved were also saved.
Later, Claire led two people to modify the machine used to make MSG, and also built two more assembly lines. As for the increased output, there was no need to worry about not being able to sell it. The previous contract with Sophia originally required that more MSG be produced and supplied to the other party for sale.
Those workers don't have to worry about losing their jobs when they come back from a day off. Although the machine eliminates manual labor in many steps, the increase in output will probably require more manpower, and Regan will have to find more workers from outside.
I was busy until dawn, and the renovation work was finally completed. Then Claire took the two of them back to the Baronial Manor. They each chose a guest room and fell asleep.
Claire also returned to his room. He was not as tired as the two people. Teklin hammered iron all night, Isaac painted formations and inscriptions all night, but Claire was still giving instructions with ease.
