Mage Lord: The Tech Tree is Skewed by Me

After a brief period of anger, Wilbert I quickly regained his composure.

Especially when the young king, who was in his forties, slowly swept his gaze across the people in the meeting hall, his originally anxious mood finally calmed down a lot.

Although his younger brother, the rebellious Duke Perel of Sorrow Castle, had the support of many nobles and gathered a strong military force, the power around him did not seem to be too small.

First of all, he is the first heir to the Andal throne and has the strongest legal support.

In addition, the royal capital of Essex and the direct army of the Tyrol family that defends the royal capital are still under his control.

Then, there are actually not many nobles who support him.

Not only Duke Ubel Haring of Eagle Beak Cliff, who serves as military minister, Sylva Byrne, Duke of Home, who serves as minister of the seal, and others who participated in the royal meeting, but also the nobles in the central and western parts of the kingdom also Most are willing to follow their own orders.

If everyone works together, we can still form an army of 40,000 people!

In order to cheer himself up, King Wilbert I subconsciously ignored the gap in combat level between the two armies, and put his own militiamen who had never been on the battlefield to the same starting line as the elites of the kingdom in northern Xinjiang.

However, when he thought that the only people who fully supported him were probably the nobles in the central and western parts of the kingdom, Wilbert I suddenly became angry!

You know, there is another brother of his who is ready to take action in the southeast of the kingdom!

I hope your majesty can appease the third prince. Otherwise, if Perel and Helson attack from the south and the north, we will be attacked from both sides!

Military Minister Yubel Harim seemed to have anticipated what the king was thinking and quickly added.

I know that I will not make enemies for myself until the rebels in northern Xinjiang are pacified.

Although he was very unhappy, Wilbert I still nodded.

Of course he knew in his heart that his third brother Herson had also coveted the throne under him for a long time. In addition, he might also have the support of the Duke of Galicia who occupied the city of Parma.

But the situation at this time allowed Wilbert I to do his best to solve the rebellion in the north, and he was not allowed to make other choices.

His Majesty.

The Lord Privy Seal, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: Although the third prince Herson is the son-in-law of the Duke of Galicia, according to my understanding of the Duke, he is actually a target that can be fought for, at least... until His Majesty has not yet Before his failure is revealed, the Duke of Galicia will never support Herson in a big way.

oh?

Wilbert I couldn't help turning his head and looked at the taciturn Lord Privy Seal: So what do you mean...?

Instead of appeasing Herson, it is better to appease the Duke of Galicia. As a vassal of His Majesty the King, the Duke of Galicia has the obligation to help you send troops to quell the rebellion. Even if he sends only improvised serfs, he can still strengthen our side. To gain momentum, or to act as a coolie!

Then let's do it.

Wilbert I nodded, but still felt it was not enough, so he added:

In addition, there is no need to come to the royal capital to appoint the Duke of Galicia as Minister of Finance. As long as he can always remain neutral, then when the rebellion subsides, the position of Minister of Finance will be his.

Your Majesty is wise!

…

In today's era, the transmission of news is extremely slow, and the news of the rebellion in northern Xinjiang has not yet reached Antolia.

So during this period of time, Leon was still happily playing stand-alone in his own territory.

Oh no, it is quite pleasant, very pleasant!

Especially after Andrew personally delivered the red cordyceps and fluorescent grasses!

According to Leon's order, the settlers living in the southwest highlands have mobilized elite soldiers from the Antolian militia and the Lapruk Army under Andrew's organization to form two exploration teams.

Their mission is to cross the Bergoli Pass at noon every day, use the precious time when the black fog recedes to explore the land on the other side of the mountains, and provide the Thorn Territory with valuable potion raw materials.

As for why two teams were formed, it was because setting foot in the abandoned land and picking red cordyceps was a great psychological and physical test for everyone.

If you go there every day, it will be unbearable and someone will have to take shifts.

The red cordyceps are naturally used to prepare magic potions. Whenever they arrive in the Thorn Territory, they will be sent to a workshop far away from the city.

After all, the juice of the red cordyceps is too smelly, and the citizens of Antolia are not addicted to smelly things. Naturally, the farther away from the city, the better.

As for the fluorescent grass...

This name was actually given by Leon.

Although Leon was not the first to discover the plant, he was the lord of the first to discover it.

When the first fluorescent grass was delivered to Leon, he became extremely interested in it.

Not for anything else, mainly because this thing lights up!

On top of the seemingly ordinary leaves, slender stems and leaves hold up a beady ball of light, which can emit hazy light under the dark night.

Out of curiosity about this special plant, Leon simply took matters into his own hands and opened up a temporary small flower garden in the courtyard of the Lord's Castle. During this period, he sent the fluorescent grass that Andrew had sent to the Thorn Territory one after another. They were all planted.

In order to further explore the principle of fluorescent grass' ability to emit light, Leon even took out four fluorescent grass plants from the already small number of plants, and divided them into a control group and an experimental group according to his own ideas, and conducted various experiments. Adequate observation experiments.

As for why we don’t use scientific instruments…

In fact, Leon tried it at the very beginning, but scientific instruments are the creations of ancestors after all, and they can only analyze things that existed in the world thousands of years ago.

Obviously, fluorescent grass is not, and scientific instruments have not given a definite answer.

But in general, although the sample size is relatively small and there may be a series of problems in the control of conditions, after three days of observation, Leon finally came up with a conclusion that he didn’t know whether it was right or not, but A conclusion that shocked him enough.

As long as these fluorescent grasses are given enough light during the day, they will continue to glow!

Even with only one hour of light time, these fluorescent grasses can stay lit for three or four hours in a dark cellar!

The energy utilization efficiency was so terrifying that it could even be called outrageous. As a time traveler, Leon was once stunned.

When Leon came to this conclusion, he was completely confused.

Because he suddenly thought of a possibility!

Since fluorescent grass only needs to receive enough light during the day to be able to glow, and it is very easy to feed, then...if he planted fluorescent grass on both sides of the road in Antolia...

Tsk tsk!

If enough fluorescent grass can be collected and planted, wouldn't Antolia, which is currently far away from even the industrial revolution, have street lights that did not appear until the electrical age?

You know, according to the description given by Andrew, behind the thick gray fog in the abandoned land, there seem to be countless bright light spots hidden. On the land shrouded in black fog, there is likely to be a large area of ​​fluorescent plants growing. Grass! !

And this means that as long as Leon finds a way to effectively deal with the black mist, not only will Antolia get a back garden that is in urgent need of development, this area ruled by the Jimena family will even have The world's first city that never sleeps may be born!

Thinking of this, Leon couldn't help but feel an indescribable wonder.

After all, from Grum's slime to the warm stones that emit surging heat, to the fluorescent grass in front of him, the technology tree of this world seems to be growing wildly in a direction that Leon never expected.

The next chapter is very late. Don’t wait. Go to bed early. Everyone
