Succubus' Manor

Kleist brought back the pig iron they needed and spent all the gold coins they had taken.

Chi Yan has really become a pauper lord now - the remaining food in the territory can not be exchanged for a gold coin, but compared to the worried butler, Chi Yan is very optimistic.

Although he is a day student in junior high school, he eats breakfast and dinner at school. In order to buy a pair of limited-edition light-up wings, he almost spent a month's living expenses, living on [-] cents for rice and free soup in the cafeteria every day. , The good brother will give him some dishes.

Being poor is the normal state of an Internet addicted teenager.

It's a pity that the game became obsolete later, and the accounts cultivated could not be sold for money.

"Money can always be earned!" Chi Yan's optimism made the housekeeper despair.

The price of pig iron is expensive, but in fact the forging technology here is very bad. Swords made of pig iron are easily broken. Albert and Karl have such long swords, which are usually just hung on their waists and never used. It is just to prove their Knighthood.

But Albert also told Chi Yan that there is a new kind of sword in the holy courtyard, which is not so easy to break, but it is easy to bend. Broken vintage swords are good.

Although Chi Yan is not an engineering student, he has played many games. When the battle games were just popular, there were many hegemony-type sandbox games. Some of these games were very well-documented. Do know how to make steel.

The earliest steel swords unearthed in China were cast in the late Spring and Autumn Period.

Iron weapons are too soft, not sharp and hard enough.

In ancient times without modern technology, there were three methods of steelmaking, one was iron-making carburizing steel, the other was hundred-smelting steel, and the other was frying steel.

Among the three methods, the first one is the simplest, because it is a product of the late Spring and Autumn Period, it only needs charcoal, but the quality cannot be guaranteed.

One hundred steelmaking is in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Its quality is better than the first one, but it needs to be beaten repeatedly, and the production efficiency is very low.

Fried steel was during the Three Kingdoms period, and the quenching technology and water quality were very important.

European steel frying technology only appeared in the 600th century, more than [-] years behind China.

The latter two require coal.

Chi Yan's requirements are not high now, so thank God if he can make the first one.

And his goal is not to make weapons such as swords, but to make planers and saws for carpenters, and then use them to make looms.

After Chi Yan sorted out his thoughts, he felt that it was too difficult to make a loom, and he had to make steel.

It's like someone wants to eat brown sugar, but in the end he has to grow sugarcane and boil sugarcane himself, and also has to make an automated tool.

In order to use charcoal to make steel, he had to find an earthen kiln to make charcoal.

Fortunately, there were quite a few termite nests, otherwise he would have to find a way to get clay.

Fortunately, the rainy season is coming, and the crops in the fields are being harvested one after another. Before the rainy season officially enters and winter enters, he still has two months to prepare and burn enough charcoal for experiments and use.

Chi Yan is very grateful that he loved playing games before. He has played almost all games, especially sandbox games of business strategy. He can build cities by himself, raise troops, collect supplies, and then fight against other players.

The early sandbox games were very playable and had a lot of knowledge points. Players had to do enough preparations. From manipulating a villain to open up wasteland to building a city to finally fighting other players, it took a month or more to prepare.

However, most of these games disappeared with the disappearance of the battle platform because they could not make much money.

After all, if you wanted to fight with real people at that time, you needed to go to the fighting platform and connect to the opponent's local area network to play.

Now Chi Yan feels like he is playing a game.

An earthen kiln is like building a house, but instead of bricks, stones are used instead of wood as the skeleton like slaves built houses. Because of the experience in building houses, the construction of earthen kilns is faster.

"What do you want to do?" Kleist asked Chi Yan, who couldn't understand Chi Yan's actions.

Chi Yan ate the bread with honey, and said with a look of enjoyment, "Burn charcoal."

Kleist sat opposite Chi Yan, and he asked patiently, "What is charcoal?"

Chi Yan: "...more fire-resistant wood?"

Kleist: "Using wood to burn more fire-resistant wood?"

Chi Yan looked at Kleist and blinked: "Probably...about the same?"

Kleist asked again: "What is the charcoal used for?"

Chi Yan: "There are many uses. It can be used for heating in winter without much smoke. It can also burn pig iron into a spongy solid. Wood is a good thing! It can be used to make furniture, and it can also be burned into carbon, but what kind I don’t know if it’s best to burn wood into charcoal, and I need to do a lot of experiments…”

Chi Yan talked endlessly, while Kleist listened quietly.

After Chi Yan finished speaking, he realized that Kleist might not understand, so he said embarrassedly: "Actually, I can't explain clearly either."

Kleist smiled, and when he smiled, the humble room seemed to become more beautiful.

"It's okay, I like to listen to you." Kleist looked intently at Chi Yan's eyes, he was so beautiful, those eyes were like perfect gemstones, and like a sparkling lake, his skin was fair and smooth , The facial features are as exquisite as a creation made by God himself.

Chi Yan swallowed, and said in his heart, "Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form."

"The other party is a man" "It's useless for me to flirt".

Kleist put his hand on Chi Yan's shoulder: "If you have anything to say, you can tell me."

Chi Yan: "Okay!"

Then Chi Yan tore a piece of bread and gave it to Kleist: "Do you want to eat it? The one with honey, the cook said there is only a little honey left."

No one keeps bees, and the source of honey is wild hives, so the price of honey is expensive. This honey was bought from a businessman at a large price by the former lord at the end of last year.

Kleist took the bread from Chi Yan's hand. The bread had a sweet smell and a soft texture. It was indeed a very delicious food. After taking a bite, Kleist felt that even if it was just because of the bread , Chi Yan could become the dean of the local holy courtyard.

He is now looking forward to what else Chi Yan can come up with.

The slaves also formally moved into the mud houses they built themselves. They made beds of licorice. When it rained at night, the house was still dry and warm. They had no fire, and after nightfall they could only move by the moonlight shining in. .

"It's so warm." The tauren lay on the hay he had laid out himself. He shared the house with several other tauren. The tauren was very strong. They would chat before going to bed, but the topics were always dry.

"Your Excellency, let us make a round house."

"It's too small, even goblins can't live in it."

"No slave can live better than us! We can eat twice a day, and the lord gives us a house to live in!"

"I hope I can live like this forever."

The goblins are small, and a house can accommodate more goblins. They spread the whole house with hay, and everyone sleeps together. The female goblins hum songs, and the children fall asleep listening to them.

Then the male goblins pull the female goblins over, and it's adult time.

The dwarves are cutting wood with stone knives under the moonlight. They like to do handwork very much. Although most of the things they make are useless things, they never get tired of it. The dwarves can carve wood into various shapes, but because the tools are limited ——After all, stone knives can't do fine work, so the finished product is not very beautiful.

In the castle, the servants are very envious of the slaves - the slaves can live in a square room, but they still can only sleep in the leaky and damp corridor!In the past, slaves could only sleep on the fields, and they felt that sleeping in the hallway was the happiest thing in the world. Now they could sleep in the house with all their efforts, but they still could only sleep in the hallway.

The butler sensed what the servants were thinking.

Although he also felt that slaves should not live better than servants, he also felt that a qualified servant should not question any decision made by the lord.

"Don't you want your lord to build you a house too?!" The steward scolded the servants, "It's your honor to live in the castle! If you don't want to live in the castle, get out! Go live in the slave's house , go be a slave!"

The servants trembled under the steward's scolding and dared not speak.

The butler looked cold: "Let me hear complaints again, I dare to swear, I will let the complainers get what they want, and live in the slave's house."

The servants shrank their necks.

The housekeeper snorted coldly and walked away with his neck raised.

The servants breathed a sigh of relief.

The cook was also among them. Although she didn't complain, she heard others complain, so she also endured this innocent disaster.

"Don't talk to me about these things anymore!" Anna was very angry. As a cook, she holds the power in the kitchen and has a high status among the servants. "I want to serve you wholeheartedly, and I am willing to sleep in the corridor!"

After finishing speaking, she also "hummed" and left.

The remaining servants were terrified of being driven out of the castle, and if they were driven out, they too would become slaves.

Many slaves die every year, many, many, and the slaves won't even be buried or have their own cemetery.

Chi Yan realized belatedly that the servants had become very strange these two days, and their attitude towards him became more respectful.

——No, it can’t be called respect, it’s more like fear.

And this fear was so deep that they didn't even dare to make unnecessary moves in front of Chi Yan.

The servants still talked to him before, and sometimes dared to look up at him, and a few young servants would blushed and express their love to him with their eyes.

"What's wrong with them?" Chi Yan asked the housekeeper inexplicably, "I haven't done anything scary recently, have I?"

The housekeeper looked serious: "There is something wrong with their thinking, and I have already taught them a lesson."

Chi Yan: "...What thought?"

Do these servants finally want to be free and overthrow themselves as landlords?

If that's the case, Chi Yan has to think about protecting himself.

But the steward shook his head and said, "They actually want to live in the same house as the slaves!"

Chi Yan: "...Oh."

The housekeeper was heartbroken: "How can they live in the slave's house! It's too shameful!"

Chi Yan took a sip of water and thought, actually, I also want to live in a slave's house.

Ghosts are willing to live in this damp and leaky stone "castle".

Steward: "I'm proud to live in a castle!"

The author has something to say: Chi Yan: "It's too difficult for me! I just want a loom!"

Earth kilns burn charcoal-steel-making-making planers and saws-making looms.

Chi Yan: "Hey!"
