Mage Lord: The Tech Tree is Skewed by Me

During the months-long cold winter, the black earth generation technique that Leon acquired from the ancient archives basically remained in place eating dust for a long time.

First, resist the hounds, then gather the mountain people, and then rush to the rescue of Gray Water Castle...

In addition to the objective factors of cold climate, the above series of events also prevented Leon from trying out the effectiveness of the black soil generation technique.

And now, it's time to start preparing.

Although the black soil generation technique sounds like a spell, it is actually more like a systematic project, which can be roughly divided into two steps.

First, the cap powder of moon mushrooms and feces should be thoroughly mixed on the muddy land after rain.

Then use the land tamping device to shape and improve the soil in the farmland.

In this way, the black land is complete.

The difficulty in this process is obviously not the first step.

Moon mushrooms are everywhere outside the city, and in the process of weaving moon velvet, the top part of the cap is not used. Leon has long had people responsible for collecting the caps and grinding them into powder.

As the Year of the Jackdaw comes to an end, the amount of powder collected has far exceeded Leon's expectations.

As for feces, there is no need to deliberately collect it. With so many people in Antolia, it is enough for everyone to make a small contribution, and it will even greatly improve the environment in the city.

The most difficult thing is actually the land compactor mentioned in the second step.

As the shadow monsters in the ancient archives continued to swallow the black mist, the land compactor became the second relic of the ancestors that Leon obtained after the scientific instrument.

In the records of the ancient archives, the land tampers and the scientific instruments in Leon's hands both belong to the same level.

Scientific instruments can provide data and information related to the input materials by stuffing shadow monsters and various materials, allowing Leon to make more accurate judgments.

The land tamper can shape different surface soils through different material formulas.

Black soil is one of them.

If the moon mushroom powder in the recipe is replaced with the juice of juicy berries, it can be improved to low-yielding red soil.

If you add some decayed animal and plant carcasses and other raw materials to the formula, it can also be improved into wetland soil.

All in all, the existence of the land compactor means that no matter how barren the Antolian land is, as long as there are enough raw materials, the originally barren land can be shaped into different forms of soil.

However, unlike scientific instruments that require shadow monsters to drive, the use of the land compactor requires warm stones as a power source.

The warm stone comes from the southwestern highlands.

It’s the Southwest Highlands again!

During this period, the name of Southwest Highland appeared in Leon's mind again and again.

The southwestern highlands must be reached, and the tall-footed strange birds entrenched on the highlands must also be dealt with.

Thinking of this, when Leon returned to his lord's castle, he immediately called for the strongest craftsman in Antolia, the dwarf Sherman.

Oh! My dear Viscount!

Sherman hasn't seen you for two months. If you have any requests, just tell Sherman. If Sherman can't do it, let the God of Forging kick my ass hard!

You know, Sherman is...

Ahem.

Leon, who had already experienced it, interrupted the gushing dwarf in front of him very naturally:

Sherman, the weaving machine you built has made great contributions to Antolia. It also made a great contribution to the renovation plan of the old house in the Thorn Territory.

Yes, yes! Butler Aaron rewarded me with fifty golden escudos! Sherman is very happy!

The dwarf nodded repeatedly.

So, I plan to give you a new task to build new weapons for the Antolian Militia!

Sherman would do it!

the dwarf said excitedly.

But soon, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face:

Of course Sherman is willing to do his best to fulfill the Viscount's instructions. Antolia is Sherman's home.

But... Sherman feels like he's almost overwhelmed.

Creating weapons is the top priority in Antolia right now. Only you, Sherman, can undertake this task. As for the renovation plan of the old house in the Thorn Territory...

I allow you to recommend a suitable person.

Hearing this, Sherman couldn't help but fell silent.

It's not that the rest of Antolia's craftsmen are too bad, it's mainly that the craftsmen brought over by Leon and Todd from Gray Water Castle and Parma City have just arrived, and Sherman is not familiar with them.

If there is no suitable candidate, do you have any dwarves you are familiar with? Construction is going on in Antolia every day. Even if new people join, they will never take your position.

At this time, Leon finally came to his senses.

There are never too many talents, and dwarves, who are famous for being good at forging, are the best among craftsmen.

My brother, Hillman.

Finally, Sherman spoke.

Although my brother is very poor, very poor, and cannot compare with Sherman in all aspects of ability, but in terms of forging weapons... well, he still has some small achievements.

How does it compare to you?

Hearing this, Sherman was speechless for a moment, but still hesitantly said:

What Sherman is best at is building machines and building buildings, but Sherman is an honest dwarf and will not deceive his lord. My brother Sherman is slightly better at forging weapons, really. , is really only a little better than me!

After saying that, the dwarf couldn't help but cover his head with his hands, looking particularly troubled.

After Sherman said this, does the lord no longer want Sherman to build ordnance? Sherman asked with a sad face.

Until Hillman comes, the task of forging weapons is still yours.

If Hillman is willing to be loyal, you will get a better job, such as building a magnificent church on the other side of the White Blade River, or building a mage tower for the mages who join the territory.

Leon drew the pie with ease.

No, he was not drawing pancakes, but making pancakes, because Leon really planned to do this.

The effect of pancakes is naturally quite significant.

The moment Leon's words fell, the dwarf's previous disappointment was instantly swept away, and there was light in his slightly dim eyes in an instant!

A magnificent church, and a mage tower!

This is what Sherman is good at! Master Leon is the best lord!

Sherman cheered:

Sherman, go write a letter now! You must make my dear brother loyal to the Viscount!

…………

Thanks to the book friend The Fading Bai Xiaohua for the reward! I’ll treat my roommates to instant noodles later, it’s a luxury!

I'm too strong!

I originally thought I wouldn’t be able to finish two chapters today! Let’s go to dinner~
