Mage Lord: The Tech Tree is Skewed by Me

Leon did not stop Todd's proposal. It is always good to prepare in multiple ways.

Returning to Antolia after many years, even if Leon had some ideas in his mind, he was not sure whether his idea was feasible.

After the eager guards and retainers left one after another, Aaron, who had always been standing by, asked:

The Viscount seemed to have something in mind earlier, but has he got a countermeasure?

“I have an idea, but I don’t know if it’s feasible.”

Leon had no intention of hiding anything from the loyal butler in front of him.

Aaron is not only the steward of the Jimena family, but also the steward of the entire Viscounty of Antolia. In any case, Aaron needs to implement Leon's ideas.

Viscount Arthur said before his death that only by constantly acquiring new financial resources and recruiting more people can the family be strong forever. It is naturally a good thing that you are willing to take over the territory and keep trying.

only……

Aaron changed the subject, and then said: The family currently spends too much money. If the Viscount has any ideas, he hopes to control the expenditure within three hundred escudos.

One golden Escudo is equivalent to one hundred Andal silver coins, which are the common currency of the Andal Kingdom.

Don't worry, Uncle Aaron.

Leon smiled and said: We don't need that much money at all. Instead of worrying about the money bag in our hands, why not help me find some moon mushroom trees first.

Moon Mushroom Tree?

That's right! Leon nodded seriously.

…

Although he has become Viscount Antolia, Leon still habitually returns to his past room.

There are no gorgeous low-hanging curtains, no exquisite sculptures, and no gold candlesticks inlaid with precious stones.

opposite of this,

In the room are heavy wooden tables, simple and wide wooden beds, bearskin rugs and antlers hanging on the walls, showing strong Antolian characteristics.

Opening the closed wooden window, through the narrow window, most of the city appeared before Leon's eyes.

Because there are wild beasts, robbers, and various dangers outside the city, most of the people in the territory live crowdedly in this city with the Castle of Thorns as the center.

This also makes Leon's lord's castle almost mixed with the civilian area. Not far away, wooden structures are lined up in rows, and the air is filled with the smell of livestock manure.

Leon sniffed, and then closed the window neatly.

If it were left open for a while longer, there might not be room for anyone to stay in the room.

I have to say that Aaron's work efficiency is commendable.

Not long after,

The guards of the castle were full of doubts, holding a freshly cut moon mushroom tree in their arms, and stepped into Leon's room in a slightly crowded manner.

Looking at the mushroom tree in front of him, which was more than four meters high, and the guard who carried the thing to the room alone, the corners of Leon's mouth twitched involuntarily.

Just leave it there.

Leon pointed to the floor in the middle of the room.

then……

There was only a clang sound, and the thick tree was knocked to the floor.

Thanks for your hard work.

It is an honor for me to serve the Viscount. The guard said quickly.

After the guards left, Leon squatted down and observed this special plant unique to Antolia.

Mushrooms are everywhere.

But mushrooms that grow like trees are unique here in Antolia.

There are large forests of moon mushrooms scattered on the land of Antolia. From bottom to top, the caps are stacked layer by layer along the stipe from large to small.

From a distance, the broad cap looks like a wrinkled petal, bending upward at the edge.

Every night when the moon is full, the unique barb-shaped structure on the top of the tree will produce spores, shining with starlight, occupying the few cultivated lands in Antolia.

As soon as Leon's thoughts changed, a strange-looking machine clanged again and appeared on the floor of the room out of thin air.

The bottom is a base made of three pine wood. On the main body polished with bright white rock in the middle, two pale golden gears are connected together by a chain. There is also a joystick inserted diagonally on the side that can be moved up and down. .

This is exactly the scientific instrument that originally existed in ancient archives.

On the way to Antolia, although there was no actual operation, Leon thought he had mastered the use of this thing.

Compared to the scientific instruments marked on the nameplate, Leon prefers to regard the machine in front of him as his own gift bag for beginners.

He took out a shadow monster from the space of the archives that had been fishing all day but was not doing a good job. He ignored the creature twisting its body back and forth in his hands and stuffed it into the slot of the scientific instrument.

In a blink of an eye,

Accompanied by a creaking sound, the gold-plated gears trembled, as if the dust that had been covered in dust for thousands of years was dusted off, and began to rotate slowly.

Leon immediately took out a small knife, cut the moon mushroom tree in front of him into scattered small pieces, and then threw them into the groove above the scientific instrument.

Leon crossed his legs, supported his head on his arms, and stared at the rumbling machine in front of him, his eyes full of curiosity.

According to the information in the archives, although the scientific instruments in front of us seem to be extremely simple in structure, their functions are extremely powerful.

To put it simply, it is roughly equivalent to a mechanical encyclopedia. It can even provide solutions that are consistent with the current version according to Leon's thoughts.

as expected,

After a short while,

Pieces of papyrus were pulled out from the opening at the lower end by scientific instruments.

Leon quickly took the papyrus and took a closer look, his face suddenly filled with obvious joy.

According to the version of the answer given by scientific instruments, these moon mushroom forests, which are widely distributed in Antolia, have risen from ordinary plants to the category of strategic resources.

At the beginning, the reason why Leon focused on the moon mushroom tree in front of him was actually because the powder of the moon mushroom was a necessary raw material for the black soil generation technique.

By grinding the caps of moon mushrooms into powder and supplementing them with other special raw materials, the originally barren land will become fertile and productive black soil.

What Leon didn't expect was that other contents printed on the papyrus opened a door to a new world for him.

As we all know,

The stipe of a mushroom is made up of branched, slender hyphae.

Even the moon mushroom that was born under the influence of the black mist cannot escape this pattern.

But the difference is,

The thick log-like stipe of the moon mushroom tree makes the hyphae not only slender and elastic, but also shiny and elegant.

The papyrus reads:

The priests of Arran were fascinated by it, and the noble kings decorated their courts with it.

“They are the golden fleece of the trees, the most beautiful fabric in the world.”

The ancestors called it...moon velvet.

Cute new author, please read it! Pursuing reading is really important~
