Heritage foundry

Chapter 169 The magical effect of experience realization
Two round and clear white jade balls were spinning in Zhou Mo's hands, as transparent as glass.

In the white porcelain teacup as thick as autumn leaves, the dark red tea color flows.

Mina was wiping the furniture in the study room. The wet milk sheep fur brushed against the furniture made of elf secret wood, and a faint fruity and honey scent exuded, refreshing and eye-catching.

Zhou Mo stared intently at the three pieces of information that were roughly the same but with slightly different details, which recorded the situation of the Corona Principality in detail.

Since the bays where large ships can berth are all within the territory of the Sea Kingdom, although the Corona Principality is also by the sea, the income from maritime trade is extremely rare. The main source of income is the supply of the entire Otto Empire by mastering the magical secret technique of extracting high-quality sea salt. The salt of the nobles is not as rich and powerful as the kingdom of the sea, but its national power ranks first among the six principalities.

However, the Corona Principality area is full of shrubs and sandy beaches, and it is almost impossible to produce food by itself.

Recently, the name of the Southern Granary of the Eagle's Nest has spread throughout the circle of veteran aristocrats. As the situation becomes more and more tense, the Principality of Corona has decided to take the territory of the Eagle's Nest!
As for His Royal Highness Sun Mian, he has always been obsessed with the evolution of life and ignored political affairs. As early as ten years ago, he handed over all the daily affairs in the territory to Mr. Sun Mian.

Zhou Mo raised his eyes and looked at Mina, the viscountess who was originally from the circle directly under the empire, and later the baroness, secretly thought in his heart, this kind of trickery between nobles encroaching on territories, this woman who was educated by nobles must understand, Open your mouth and ask:
"Mina, if a noble wants to encroach on the territory of another noble, but the two are not neighbors, what kind of excuse will he find?"

The milk sheep's fur in Mina's hand froze, and she was overjoyed. She was asked about knowledge and strategy by the master. Before, this was the treatment only the two girls Qian Shu and Chen Yang had.

Straightening her slender waist, she walked slowly to Zhou Mo's desk. After Mina bowed respectfully and saluted, she lowered her eyes and formally replied:

"Returning to the master, the nobles used to encroach on each other's territories before. If they were not living next to each other and had boundary conflicts with each other, most of them used gentle methods!"

"For example, find a shrewd and capable woman with outstanding wrists in the family, and give it to the other party's lord, so as to provoke conflicts in the other party's territory, destroy the surrounding political environment of the other party's territory, and wait quietly for the strength of the territory to increase. At that time, as the mother's family, they will have an excuse to intervene in the affairs of the other party's territory, so as to embezzle it bit by bit."

Zhou Mo heard this, shook his head slightly, and said:

"Such a long time, in the current situation, some people may not be able to wait that long!"

Mina smiled and said:

"Time is tight, so there is an urgent solution, but it will cost a lot of money. Choose a woman from the direct line of the family to officially marry and become a legitimate lord's wife, and then tear the face, or assassinate, or directly duel, and kill the other party. The lord, the lord's wife also has the right to inherit the land!"

Zhou Mo thought to himself, this is the consistent style of the sun crown prince in the intelligence, he likes to spend a lot of money, do big things, and is extremely decisive!

Looking around in the information, he found that Grand Duke Corian has a young daughter, who is only 14 years old.

Looking through the other two intelligences, Zhou Mo found that this unremarkable news was highlighted in three parts of the intelligence, and even described in detail the appearance, body, and hair color of the crown prince.

Knowing the upcoming things in his heart, Zhou Mo's expression relaxed, and he said to Mina:

"You don't want to live with sisters Miyamina in the future, choose a room by yourself, and use it for daily use, just like when Qianshu and Chenyang lived in the castle."

After being promoted to those who want to climb up and do things, and who are loyal enough, Zhou Mo said casually:

"Nowadays there are more and more people in the manor. You, Mina, are also the wife who once presided over a family's internal affairs. You must carefully distinguish who is thinking, otherwise, if someone takes some advantage, I will not be able to speak out because of sympathy. of!"

Mina knew that it was wrong to express any emotions at this time, so she just stood quietly until Zhou Mo's voice fell, and then Yingying knelt down, bowed her head and said:

"Mina must live up to her master's trust."

This is a transparent woman, Zhou Mo nodded slightly, and said:

"Go ahead and let Mia call Deguster-Lee to see me."

…………

Zhou Mo moved out his mithril battle armor, put it in the middle of the study, closed his eyes slightly, and observed intently, and found that although the battle armor came from the realization of experience, all parts were in line with the real battle armor. Armor is no different. From the perspective of a foundry, this armor is superior to the Otto Empire standard armor in terms of overall coordination, protection of key parts, and flexibility of joints.

Little by little, he sketched the casting design of this battle armor in his mind, and then Zhou Mo discovered that this battle armor did not use any special craftsmanship, and there was no part that could not be imitated. The reason why it is better than Otto The Empire's standard battle armor is exquisitely piled up with countless details, and countless spiritual designs from small angles make up the overall excellent quality.

The sound of Degster Lee's heavy combat boots interrupted Zhou Mo's thoughts, and he looked up to see Degster Lee bypassing the screen at the door of the study, but stopped in front of the carpet. Gerst-Lee was really embarrassed to step on the fine velvet carpet that was worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Zhou Mo also hesitated for a moment, wanting to pretend to be a wise lord who pays attention to talents and ignores foreign things, but found that he really couldn't bear to part with this expensive carpet, so he walked over with a wry smile.

He put his hand on Degster Lee's shoulder, then took him outside, and said:
"This carpet cost me [-] gold coins, and I got it from a merchant in the Kingdom of the Sea Kingdom with the promise of reducing taxes by [-]% in the next three years. I can't let you ruin it for me. Go to the living room. say!"

Degerst-Lee didn't know what expression to have on his face, and was taken into the living room by Zhou Mo in embarrassment.

"My lord Viscount, I won't sit down with the armor on my body. My lord is here to find De Gester, what's your order?"

Zhou Mo waved his hand, signaling him not to worry, and went back to the study, took the mithril armor, and said:

"The battle armor I forged myself, you evaluate it!"

Seeing the battle armor, the expression on Degerst's face softened. He walked to the battle armor, tapped the helmet and breastplate with his fingers, and found that there was no hollow sound, so he nodded in satisfaction.

He raised the arm part of the battle armor again, moved the joints, and showed surprise on his face. He tried the joints at the waist and the bend of the legs unbelievingly, and then looked at Zhou Mo with an unbelievable expression.

"The design and structure of this armor is not only superior to the armor of the Otto Empire, it is also incomparable to the armor of the Reese Empire, which is known as the country of craftsmanship and commerce. Lord Viscount, I have heard the fat man say that you are a You are an excellent foundry master, and you thought the fat man was bragging for you, but today you know what he said is still humble for you!"

"Based on the design of this set of battle armor, if you can promote it, your achievements in casting are beyond description. You can go to the Imperial Foundry Association for assessment!"

Hearing Degest's half-sincerity, half-flattery, and extremely clumsy flattery, Zhou Mo smiled in satisfaction, waved his hand, ignored Degerst's words, and said:
"Since you think it's good, then there is probably no problem. If the blacksmith recruited in the army has a detailed casting design, can it be forged?"

These words silenced De Gester.
