Chapter 281

A leather armor and a soft armor made of rattan silk were placed in front of Sylvia. She picked up the soft armor with great interest and said, "this rattan armor is very hard and strong, but it is thinner."

"Yes." Victor nodded and said, "the rattan armour made by the mountain people is no worse than the lock armour. In terms of weight and production cost, it is better than the lock armour. Unfortunately, the durability of the rattan armour is too poor. It will be moldy and rotten in less than two or three years. Although the rattan silk inner armour is thinner, what will happen if it is embedded in the hard leather armour?"

"Huh?" Sylvia took the rattan armor, raised her hand and tore it, "bared", the tough rattan armor was like paper paste in front of the snow-white and soft hands, which was easily torn away, and Vic was shocked.

"Great design!" Sylvia carefully observed the internal structure of the rattan armor and praised: "the defense of this rattan armor is much stronger than the hard armor, which is enough to resist the accumulation of hard bows. With lock armor, the crossbow 50 meters away can't take it."

"More than that." Victor smiled: "ordinary hard leather armor is sewn with two layers of cow leather. Even if the workmanship is fine, there will still be gaps between the cow leather. If it is exposed to the rain for a long time, its service life will be greatly shortened. Ordinary hard leather armor needs to be replaced in four years."

"The rattan bark beetle is bonded with special glue without any gap. I think the rattan bark beetle can be used for at least seven or eight years. How much money can it save?"

Sylvia raised half a piece of rattan beetle and examined it carefully. Sure enough, she found no trace of sewing. She asked, "this glue is also made of fish man mucus?"

"Of course." Victor said, "ordinary adhesives are afraid of moisture, but Fishman mucus doesn't have this defect, otherwise Borui's ship will still leak."

"The glue for sticking rattan bark beetles is made of fish man mucus, fish glue, saprophytic grass juice and batter."

"Rotten heart grass? That's a highly poisonous plant!" Sylvia said in surprise.

Victor explained: "saprophytic grass is not only highly toxic, but its juice is also highly corrosive, but it is ineffective for plants. An appropriate amount of saprophytic grass juice will not damage the soft armor of rattan silk, but also slightly corrode the surface of cow leather, making it easier for them to bond without leaving a gap, just like a whole."

"The formula of glue, I want it!" Sylvia said decisively.

"Honey, don't worry. There are many good things."

Victor smiled mysteriously and opened the Grand View Garden mode with Sylvia.

"Black awn flower powder is extremely itchy on the body and can promote fish people to secrete mucus."

"Oil canvas, with excellent waterproof effect, can make umbrellas."

"Bristle brush. Yes... It's not uncommon. Bristle brushes are used to clean armor. We have more pigs than others, aren't we? When domestic pigs are bred, domestic pigs' bristles are softer than wild boar's bristles and more useful! They can make paint brushes... And toothbrushes. Honey, believe me, bristles will make us a lot of money!"

"Hemostatic ointment... Er, its only advantage is that it is very cheap. Just smash the earthworms and root grass together."

"Paralyzing potion may have little effect on strong monsters and wild animals, but it can help soldiers relieve pain."

"Shilan solution can make sisal woven string elastic and can replace bow string."

Sylvia was dazzled by a wide range of new technologies and formulas. At the beginning, she could still ask questions. Now she can only listen to Victor talk freely, because she doesn't know many materials.

"Honey, did you invent all these?" Sylvia seized Victor's breathing space and stopped the horse watching fancy tour.

Victor shook his head and said, "I don't have so much time. I'm not a scholar. I can't name many things... They invented these technologies."

Following Victor's fingers, Sylvia looked around at the "civilians" working and said in surprise, "civilians?"

"Don't you believe it?" Asked victor.

Sylvia smiled and said nothing. Of course she knew Victor couldn't have so many inventions. She preferred to believe that Victor had acquired the technology of the old Marquis of Wimbledon.

"Call hale." Victor commanded a monkey militia.

After a while, hale, an auxiliary alchemist, came over. He saluted victor and said, "Sir, you're looking for me."

"Well, it's all right. Go back to work."

"Oh." The alchemist turned and left without being teased.

Facing Sylvia's questioning eyes, Victor explained, "I'm afraid you'll kill him."

Sylvia said with both tears and laughter, "am I so cruel? Besides, I'm still a lowly civilian."

"If I told you Hale invented the rock brick, what would you do?" Asked victor. Sylvia was silent for a moment and slowly said, "at first, I did kill him. Now, I won't."

"That's the difference between me and you." Victor said, "you don't believe that civilians can invent new technologies, but don't give them a chance at all."

"The free people invented a unique medicine formula. The Lord's first reaction was not to reward him, but to seize the secret recipe and kill people. But I'm different! I'm even different from the church."

"The church will reward free people. I will not only reward them, but also provide them with an environment for invention and creation." Victor opened his arms and said, "this is the hill camp. In the future, I will build a huge fortress here - Candle castle!"

"Four years ago, the villagers under my rule invented the method of breeding ground lizards, and then there was the lizard skin wheel. Of course, wrapping the wheel with animal skin is not a new thing. However, there is a steady stream of ground lizards, which is the biggest advantage of the lizard skin wheel."

"Many free people are illiterate and have limited knowledge, but they do not lack wisdom. I give them the opportunity to constantly explore and try, and someone can always find new technology. That's how Hale invented rock brick. So is the ground lizard skin wheel, as well as rattan skin armor and medicine formula..."

"Hale not only invented rock brick, but also tried different material formulas. Recently, he successfully mixed iron powder into rock brick and invented stronger iron brick. If I killed him, how could there be iron brick?"

Sylvia brightened her eyes and said with a smile, "that's really gratifying."

"The York family is also trying to improve the rock brick. Right?" Victor asked with a smile.

"That's right." Sylvia nodded and admitted, "honey, what you said is very reasonable. However, I will kill people for the secret of rock brick."

"Once rock brick comes out, we really can't keep its formula. But rock brick is important enough to change the pattern of human country." Sylvia said solemnly, "Victor, at that time, I can't bear the pressure from all sides... How do you ensure the loyalty of these people?"

No one is more loyal than them!

Victor said in his heart, "I won't let these people contact the outside world until the dust settles. Is that always OK?"

Sylvia sighed, "I hope so. To tell you the truth, I also built a secret village similar to a hill camp, which is responsible for producing rock bricks. Although the craftsmen are the vassal children of our York family, I can't guarantee that they won't leak secrets."

"As long as we have an advantage."

"You're right." Sylvia showed her face and said, "I'll take all the achievements of the hill camp. In return, I'll give you York family's Potion formula, animal training secret method and forging technology. How about it?"

"As you wish!" Victor was overjoyed. He added: "we can share technology. For example, rotten heart grass is used to make rattan bark beetles. The limited number of this plant seriously restricts the output of rattan bark beetles. If scholars of the York family develop ingredients to replace rotten heart grass, you should inform me. Of course, I will also give the improved formula to the York family."

"Very wise." Sylvia agreed.

Victor has another important thing. Alchemists only know about animals and plants tens of thousands of years ago. Some species have become extinct, and the names of non extinct species have changed. Now it is necessary to update their knowledge.

"By the way, I also need the atlas of animals and plants compiled by the silver white tower. After all, my men are not scholars. They have different names of animals and plants. In order to facilitate communication, they must first unify their names."

"Of course. But you have to pay 300 gold sols. You know, it's troublesome for scholars to copy brochures, which will take at least more than a month." Sylvia laughed.

"Can you have less?"

"Don't think about it."

They talked and laughed, and unknowingly came to the intersection leading to the upper camp. Sylvia asked, "honey, what's on it?"

Victor's heart beat a few times, pretending to be calm and said, "the workshop for making coffee and snow sugar is right above. Do you want to see it?"

Sylvia glanced at him and said with a smile, "then... Forget it."

Victor was relieved and faintly disappointed. In fact, he was curious about what would happen when the peak Knight walked into the alchemy tower, but after thinking about it, he'd better not take risks.

Sylvia didn't know what was going on in her lover's mind. She stopped and asked, "Dear Victor, we have made the water conservancy project public. What do you think of the situation in the human horse hills?"

"It's great." Victor said: "the church will provide aid, food prices will fall, and many trainee knights and noble children of small families will take refuge in the human horse hills."

"The church helps people and horses, but it will not aid materials. The supply loss of transportation materials is too large. It should be an interest free loan. I think it will not be less than 1 million gold sol. If it is paid off in 20 years, it is no different from giving away. As for the food price..." Sylvia paused and said: "I have the opposite view with you. The food price must rise in the past two years!"

Victor frowned and said, "deep cultivation and careful cultivation will increase grain income. How can grain prices rise?"

"It is precisely because food prices will fall that food prices will rise in the past two years." Sylvia explained.

Victor suddenly realized that the Lord of Gambis would sell new grain when he saw the prospect of increasing grain income, and the man horse hill needed more wheat seed. Now with the financial assistance of the church, they just took this opportunity to make a lot of money.

"Greedy people will eat their own consequences." Victor sneered: "Deep ploughing and intensive cultivation can indeed increase grain yield, which is also due to the increase in the proportion of planting and harvest. Spelt wheat is essentially half grass and half grain, which has a great loss of soil fertility. I have always stressed that the sowing per mu of cultivated land can not exceed 70 pounds, and the yield per mu can still be maintained within 400 pounds. In the eyes of outsiders, we do this because of the lack of wheat seeds, and they will not know the reason for more sowing The result is that the land becomes barren and can't be restored after two years of continuous farming. I believe that in three or five years, these Lords will buy food from Renma hills, and their money will be doubled. "

"And such a thing? You never said it." Sylvia looked at Victor in surprise, smiled and said, "honey, you're so cruel."

Victor was proud, but Sylvia said: "I can't agree with you. Dear Victor, if you hit me once, I'll hit you twice. That's the practice of villains and rogues. Most of the struggles and compromises between the Lords are to reach a consensus, and the life and death war is also a last resort. The Lords of Gambis belong to the same camp, and it's not in our fundamental interest to mess up the situation."

"Just as you said before, we have an advantage! The rise of the man horse hills is unstoppable. Now, we have the atmosphere of the principality. Twenty years later, we will not lose to any royal family!" Sylvia smiled and said, "I will tell the Lords of Gambis about the interests of deep cultivation. If they want to raise food prices, we will follow."

Victor stared at Sylvia's beautiful face. He had to admit that the woman's heart and spirit were beyond his reach.

Although Sylvia took a lot of advantage of Victor, she gave him a very generous return. For example, Sylvia asked him for 150000 gold sol and bought Baron escley's collar. She also won 1000 square kilometers of territory and a castle for the Randall family from the dodos. The cost of the castle will not be less than 70000 gold sol. Most importantly, Sylvia opened it from the beginning Victor was given full freedom and respect from the beginning, and so is he now.

As a bedside person, Sylvia wouldn't know that Victor had many secrets, but she didn't get to the bottom of the source of rock bricks. The crude sugar trade said to give up. Victor asked himself that he couldn't do it.

"As you wish." Victor said with emotion.

Sylvia nodded and asked as if nothing had happened: "there will certainly be noble children to take refuge in Renma hills. Honey, are you going to recruit knights?"

"Recruit knights? No, I won't recruit knights. Arrogant knights are incompatible with the Randall family." Said Victor flatly.

The Knights came for the fief, and Randall led a Lord Nelson. Victor thought for a moment, pointed to his nose and said, "Randall LED can accept some children of small families, preferably poor noble children like me."

Sylvia giggled and her heart was in full bloom.

The sluice gate on the Jinshui River has become the lifeblood of the York family, and the Randall leader has become very important. Sylvia's biggest regret now is to arrange Nicole to be the Lord there. Nicole was influenced by the element sea during her life and death trial, and has regarded victor who saved herself as the spiritual pillar. If it wasn't for tying Victor, Sylvia wouldn't let Nicole When he was a neighbor, he did not expect to outsmart himself. Victor was not the vassal Lord of the York family. Although he married the York family, his nominal wife was Sophia after all. The impact of the water conservancy project attracted worldwide attention, and the Randall collar immediately became a loophole in the York family. Sylvia was very sure that the royal family would arrange knights to join the Randall family, even if Victor was not poisoned Confused, more than 100 years later, the descendants of these knights can also affect the position of the Randall family.

Therefore, Sylvia was really angry when she heard that Nicole was not allowed to enter Victor's Hill camp. Victor obviously had sartrels and had to cultivate Randall family hounds, which made her even more unhappy.

It's only been a few years. You're trying to draw a line with our York family?!

Now, Victor has made it clear that he will not recruit knights, and Sylvia's stone in her heart has been put down. As long as Randall doesn't have knights, the obstacles for the York family to assimilate it will be much smaller in the future.

Sylvia took Victor's arm and said happily. "I'm going back to golden water. Let's go."

They came to the great rhinoceros carriage hand in hand. Sylvia took the box in the servant's hand and handed it to victor. Inside the box lay a white bone bead. Victor asked curiously, "what's this?"

"The poison sac on the tail of a scorpion lion." Sylvia raised her hand to tidy Victor's hair and said softly: "The royal family turned Gambis over and captured many Sassanian spies. These spies have sent your message back to the Sassanian empire. Although the church has warned the Sassanians not to mess around, you should be careful. Ordinary assassins are not your opponents. If the Sassanians really want to stab you, they are just poisoning. Holding the scorpion tail lion's poison bag in their mouth can delay the onset of the toxin Time. The garrison priest has time to perform magic for you. "

"Do the Sassanians really want to assassinate me?" Asked Victor, frowning.

Sylvia smiled and said, "this is just a gift from me. It has nothing to do with the Sassanians."
