I'm working on infrastructure in the wizarding world

The dwarves couldn't move their feet at all when they saw the clock.What beautiful dyed cloth, what fragrant and delicious snacks, what exquisite and beautiful porcelain!Nothing can get into their eyes! !

Only the clock tower, only the clock tower! ! !

Kang Nan couldn't get away because he had to take care of other guests, so he had to let Norman take Andre to the clock tower.The relationship between orcs and dwarves is relatively peaceful, probably because they are both straightforward.

The little griffin followed Norman and climbed up. The 30-meter-high bell tower actually had less than ten floors, and soon entered the top floor of the bell tower, where four huge clocks were placed.

Because the inside of the clock is all made of iron gears, it needs to be cleaned with oil every now and then.There are workers who specialize in looking after clocks and watches, and are carefully oiling some small gears with a cotton swab.When they saw Norman coming, they saluted, and then continued to complete their work seriously.

"This is a miracle!!!" Andre and the dwarves were so shocked that they couldn't express their inner language. They opened their eyes wide and looked at the rattling gears.The gears are bitten together one by one, and rotated at a constant speed by the wind, controlling the three outermost pointers, making a clicking sound.But this kind of voice is as beautiful as the elf's harp in the dwarf's ears, and he wished he could live in the bell tower and never leave.

Andre looked at Norman, his voice became tense, "Norman, my good friend, which god-level magician or alchemist did this miracle? He can divide time into Twelve equal parts! My God, why can't I think of such a way to divide?"

Norman didn't know why he got up suddenly, he coughed reservedly, and said: "Andre, don't you know that there are not many magicians in Olanka? This clock is an idea proposed by His Majesty the King , and then the craftsmen conducted various experiments, and it took five years to make it. You should have discovered that there is no magic in it."

Although dwarves do not know magic, they have a long lifespan, are good at controlling fire, and are proficient in casting.They will also cooperate with some alchemists to engrave magic circles on armor and weapons to make the weapons more powerful.They can exchange all kinds of weapons, armor or metal gadgets for all kinds of ores, fine wine and food. Life has always been interesting.

But they never thought that someone in this world could divide the time evenly and mark it completely without magic! !The rotation of one gear can drive another meshing gear, or even countless gears. It seems very simple, but only the dwarves know that it takes countless time to make the gears mesh perfectly, drive the pointer, and accurately divide the time. This test was very hard.

So both the person who proposed this matter and the person who accomplished this matter are great!

"We plan to live in the bell tower," Andri plucked his beard excitedly, "We will live here and study this gear! Norman, can you send a message to His Majesty the King for me, we will not go down Already!"

Norman smiled and said: "Your Majesty the King has long said that if the dwarf friends like this clock and watch, they will send you the blueprint. If you want, you can even live in the foundry. It's just that the foundry is not open in winter, after all they Can't use magic, and don't have the technology to control fire..."

"We are willing, we are so willing! Thank you His Majesty the King!"

"I want to live in the Foundry!!"

"Can I go see the artisan??"

The dwarves yelled in one go, shaking the whole space to buzz.

The worker who was oiling the gears was unhappy, and he lowered his voice angrily: "Please be quiet! Don't disturb the gear work!!"

The dwarves immediately shut their mouths. Although they were dissatisfied with everyone, they respected craftsmen who were stronger than them [-]%.A craftsman who can do this kind of miracle without using any magic must have a pair of dexterous hands!

After admiring the clock, Andre walked down beside Norman, and at the same time asked in a low voice: "That king seems very powerful? I think this place is completely different from the first time I came here. And he can still think Shocking things like clocks... Do you think he is willing to let me live in Oulanka? As compensation, we can provide him with the coal, iron ore he needs and help him repair the foundry, so that he can make better Come on!"

Norman said: "I can't decide this matter. After all, I am only a guest of Olanka. His Majesty the King is entertaining guests from other places. If you want to know, you might as well ask him when he is resting. But I think, His Majesty the King will welcome you very much, after all, you have also seen that there are many friends of the dwarves living here."

Andre nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, I never thought that my goblin and dwarf friends would work with humans, and they seemed very happy, and they were not forced. They were very happy, yes, I I can see it! It's just..."

He looked up at Norman suspiciously, and then at the little griffin that kept gliding, rolling and climbing on the stairs, "Norman, are you planning to live in Oulanka forever? There is no going back to the tribe."

Norman smiled and said: "Olanka and my tribe have a friendly relationship, and my living here is only to promote the cooperation between Olanka and the orc tribe."

"Olanka and the orcs?" Andre tilted his head and thought for a long time. The king of Olanka is a human being. The friendly cooperation between humans and the orcs?So why not just say it's a collaboration with humans?Could it be that the little king really awakened the blood of the dragon clan, as the gossip said, and was a descendant of the dragon clan and humans?But it's not like, he doesn't have any magic fluctuations on his body!

"Old man, my good friend." Andre squeezed close to Norman's side, his voice lowered, "Actually, Char is the father of His Majesty King Olanka, right?"

After hearing this sentence, Norman was almost stunned and rolled down the stairs.He looked at Andre in astonishment, and couldn't help saying: "Why do you have such dangerous thoughts? No, absolutely not! Kang Nan is indeed a human being, without any dragon blood, nor any ancient blood! My magic god ,what are you thinking?"

"You don't know? Haven't you heard of it after you've been here for so long? Many people outside have passed it on like this!" Andre's eyes widened. His Majesty the King stayed because it was requested by the Dragon Clan. And among the ancient clans, only Charl of the Dragon Clan stayed because he wanted to take care of a fragile child who was human but had his blood... Great God of Magic, Don't look at me like that."

Norman was speechless, he couldn't laugh or cry: "You must not ask this kind of thing in front of His Majesty the King, His Majesty does not like other people to spread such rumors very much. And he is indeed a human being, why Charl stayed is just a question Because...the lottery we drew together at the beginning, you forgot??"

Andre slapped his forehead for a long time, laughed twice, and said: "I forgot, haha, yes I remembered, I was really afraid that I would be left behind, fortunately, haha!"

Norman breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as he walked out of the bell tower, he heard Andre say again: "The little griffin next to you has your breath on him, and he has always been very close to you...Old man, don't tell me all these years, in fact Are you a bitch?"

Norman: ...

He was really laughed at by Andre's "uprightness", so he said: "Old friend, believe it or not, I took it out longer than your arm?"

Andre quickly moved two steps to the side, and said: "No, no, why hurt me? We are so much shorter than you, can we also draw out arms longer than yours? Then how can we walk!! But I really noticed your breath on the little griffin, oh my magic god, you fucked a griffin?????"

Norman pressed his waist reflexively, gritted his teeth and said, "No, the griffin did me."

"This little griffin was really born by you????" Andre's voice cracked.

"No, he hatched it!!"

"A female griffin, fucked you??" Andre's mouth was wide open, almost enough to stuff a griffin egg into it.

The little griffin quacked twice cheerfully, but he didn't know what he was talking about.

"It's a male griffin! Yes, I'm with a male griffin. It's not new, is it? You dwarves also have the same sex together! Yes, that's it, and then the eggs were picked and he hatched, What's your opinion? Can't male griffins hatch eggs??" Norman felt that the dwarf's head was filled with ore, if it wasn't for Andre's usefulness, he would definitely pick this guy up and stuff it into the ice hole Let's have a rinse!

Andre's big head was trying to analyze everything he heard. He couldn't figure out why the male griffin would hatch eggs, and why the little griffin was so close to Norman.More importantly, here, in Olanka, there are not only dragons, but also griffins? ? ?

Do dragons live with griffins? ?

Will the griffin hatch eggs for the dragon?

Hey... so complicated, I can't figure it out! !

Norman seemed to not want to talk to his old buddy Andre at all. He pointed to the bustling trading market and said, "There will be a lot of things for sale over there. If you have nothing to do, go shopping. After dinner, someone will arrange a place for you to live, whether it is a foundry or a normal room. Go, friends, I'm going back to rest." After he finished speaking, he took the little griffin and walked towards the castle , urgently need to cool down your temper.

Look at me, the dwarves, the melon seeds that calmed down finally smelled the aroma of food, so they simply walked towards the trading market, intending to fill their stomachs quietly, and then asked the king about the long-term residence.There are dragons and griffins here, and there is no room for them to toss.

Those who know the current affairs are heroes, and Andre took his friends into the courtyard of the small castle, and then saw... the demons and elves in the courtyard, goblins and gnomes trying to bargain with them, in various states of orcs.Very good, only the Dragon Clan is missing.

A notice was pasted outside the courtyard of the small castle, writing in common language what needs to be paid attention to when entering the trading field.

Don't quarrel, don't make trouble, you must give money to buy things, and if you don't have money, you can exchange valuable things at the cashier for coins issued by Olanka.But anyone who does not abide by the rules will be listed as a refusal account by Olanka, please take it seriously.

Andre touched his fanny pack, then turned to look at his old buddies.The dwarves didn't even think about the real need for consumption when they came here. They didn't have a single coin in their pockets, and they were so poor that they jingled.

"My belt buckle is gold..." A dwarf touched his belt and said with some distress, "But the food here smells really delicious, so I won't give you any money." Clutching his belt buckle, he ran towards the so-called cashier, his belly, which was tempted by the fragrance, screamed wildly!

The dwarves looked at each other, and a few of them pretended to be completely fine, and started to move towards the cash register, only to be held down by other dwarves.More than a dozen dwarves huddled together outside the trading square, and Andre struggled to get out, clutching the gems that he plucked from someone's beard, and ran wildly.

Since they were beating their own people outside the trading field, the patrol team watched the excitement for a while and stopped caring.In the end, under the persuasion of Eddie at the cashier, the dwarves exchanged enough copper coins, each of them carried a bag, and walked to the market dubiously.

Are these copper plates enough?But the food looks delicious, isn't it bought with gold and silver coins?

Just copper plates?Are Oulanka's copper coins worth a lot?

Connan, who didn't know what the dwarves thought, was entertaining distinguished guests from three races in the hall of the palace castle.Elves, Beastmen and Demons.The demons are led by August, besides the succubus, there are some other demons, some of them are pretty handsome, and some of them are very casual, making it impossible to figure out his appearance preferences.The orc tribe was brought by the orc leader of the Norman tribe and the leaders of several other orc tribes with some orcs.These orcs all retain the characteristics of their own race.

In addition to the ears, some also released their tails, and some feet were completely animal feet, with a thick layer of hair on them, and the shoes were omitted.Some have a pair of big wings hanging on their backs, which belong to a large branch of the orc clan, the feather clan.Some simply came out with their original heads on their backs. The gold-bottomed black flowers and big round eyes should be leopards.

Unlike the casual-looking demons and the rough-looking orcs, the elves are completely aristocratic compared to them.They wear robes or cloaks of different styles, but they are all embroidered with gold and silver silk. Their golden, silver, black and red long hair is braided into delicate braids, adorned with few but very precious jewelry hair crowns.Each of them is very eye-catching, and their voices are like singing beautiful songs, one after another, intoxicating.

The long table in the living room is also a table provided by Auguste. I don’t know what kind of wood it is. It is milky white in color and has the texture of wood. It is inlaid with gold and silver jewelry all around, which is very luxurious.

Kang Nan also dressed himself up to welcome the distinguished guests. Landis was still sleeping and no one gave him a haircut, so he braided a big shiny braid hanging behind him. A colored rope was braided into the braid, and the rope It is studded with strands of gemstone beads.

These things are the "face" that Aisha helped him make out of scattered jewels when he was still in the main city, and they are also accessories that he is reluctant to accept.As for those that Landis gave were too luxurious, he didn't even dare to bring them.However, he was wearing the jacket that Landis "forced" him to make out of silk yarn. Although it was a bit short, it was just fat and thin, so he wore it as a short blouse.

Now on the table are the special products of Oulanka, dyed silk and silk thread, silk handkerchiefs embroidered with flowers, pillowcases.Linen and cotton, which are more casually dyed, are more durable and very cheap.The fine porcelain and the best porcelain that have been fired in the porcelain kiln in recent years.High-quality porcelain can be ordered and sold, while the best top-quality porcelain can only be seen by luck.Porcelain is also sold in the trading market, which is medium-sized porcelain, and the relatively rough porcelain is the utensils used by the public in Oulanka. It is cheaper and looks much better than pottery.

Kang Nan used the lowest-grade porcelain because he needed to keep good things for "exchange for foreign exchange" or to win over allies.But since the gold and silver wares were confiscated, Emily forced them to use the gold and silver wares.

The porcelain displayed here includes jade-like white, beautiful blue, elegant cyan and extremely rare red.Some porcelains are painted with beautiful patterns, some are flowers, some are characters, and some have paw prints stepped on by unknown cubs, they are round and very cute.

Now Oulanka's new pillar industries are silk, embroidery, cotton, dyeing techniques and ceramics.What is being cooperated with the elves now is the silk and spring tea business that is not open to the outside world, and they can earn more than salt.

And these porcelains have attracted the attention of the elves.They were talking in low voices with beautiful porcelain plates and vases, occasionally nodding and shaking their heads, as if they were thinking about the price.

Orcs are not interested in fine silks and china, but they are very fond of some embroidered handkerchiefs, and otherwise dyed linen and cotton.The maids and servants who come and go around are all dressed in linen and cotton clothes, some are solid colors, and some have beautiful patterned flowers dyed with paint.It's just like a fabric display!

Most male orcs don't care what they wear, but most female orcs prefer beauty.Many female orcs in the orc tribe like to wear flowers on their heads, or pin them on their clothes to decorate themselves.Moreover, all the female orcs present were attracted by the small porcelain flowers made of ceramics and the small embroidered handkerchiefs.

The demons are more straightforward. A witch asked a maid to take off her skirt and try it on herself. This is an improved version of the cheongsam with a large slit. The slit reveals a second layer of skirt dyed a different color underneath.This layer of skirt also has a hidden bifurcation, as long as you sit down, the innermost transparent gauze will be exposed, and you can vaguely see the slender legs.

No one can understand better than the demons, especially the succubus, this kind of temptation that appears and disappears, so the witch directly took out a pocket of gems and ordered thirty sets of skirts of different colors , I want this one, I change it every day!

Kang Nan quickly stopped him, and explained that there would be a fashion show tomorrow.

And what better way to showcase the virtues of these new fabrics than a fashion show?

When it was dinner time, it was the turn of the orcs to get excited.

Olanka has already provided the orcs with many ways to make and preserve meat. They feel that Kangnan is generous and generous. They only need a group of livestock that can reproduce. These recipes that can make a lot of money have continuously entered their own pocket.But they are not very greedy. After learning that the elves will send Olanka with fruits and vegetables every year (not knowing that it is candy food), they will also send Olanka with slaughtered fat chickens and sheep every year, and ask Norman We must take good care of Kang Nan, and we must not act willfully!

Norman was very aggrieved, no matter how he explained his leader and other orcs couldn't listen.Because I don’t know why there is a rumor circulating among the orcs that Norman is just Connan’s lover, but he found a new lover for himself. I don’t know whether he and the griffin “served” His Majesty the King, or he had other ideas. .

In short, no matter what it is, it must be good to Kang Nan, Olanka is a good friend of the orcs forever!

For this dinner, Kang Nan served several different ways of making meat - delicious smoked sausage, the kind that can be eaten directly.Dried meat with sweet or spicy taste is also very exciting when eaten in steamed buns!The meat floss sprinkled in porridge can be used as a side dish or as a meat floss bread cake!

Moreover, the bread served by Kang Nan was completely different from what they usually eat!This is a sweet and soft bread with a golden crust that is gently torn to reveal beautiful fiber veins.Some are inlaid with preserved fruits and nuts, and some are filled with red bean paste, egg yolk, meat floss or sausage.

The elf, who is sensitive to business, immediately sensed the business opportunities inside. Carol raised his head, just in time to see the demons on the opposite side looking at him.Only the foolish orc happily ate and gorged, and said words of admiration and gratitude to Kangnan.

Especially the orc leader of the Norman tribe, even felt that he was too stingy at the beginning, why did he give so little livestock?Look at Kang Nan, he just treats the orcs as friends. He keeps giving them so many delicious foods. Even if they don’t give anything in the future, these recipes are enough for them to eat for several lifetimes!

This is eternal wealth!

But who knew that halfway through the meal, Kang Nan made another big move!

He served lo mei.

Lo mei, a kind of magic, can't help but salivate when hearing these two words, and various brands and nouns marked with XX duck will appear in the mind.It is all-encompassing and omnipresent!Anything meaty or vegetarian, big or small, round or square, as long as you can think of it, you can find it in lo mei!

Braised chicken, braised duck, braised goose!Dried tofu, tofu skin, tofu!Kelp, mushrooms, lotus root slices!Eggs, pig ears, pig tails!Not only the elves can eat this dish, but even the orcs, demons and dwarves can eat it!Along with the lo mei is a large bucket of iced fruit wine and iced fruit, because these lo mei have two flavors, one is spicy and the other is five spice.

Andre and the others have eaten a lot of food that they have never eaten before in the trading market, such as roasting various small balls, cooking various small dumplings, and frying various small eggplants and potatoes.I walked and ate all the way, and when it was time for dinner, I thought I wouldn't be able to eat at all.

However, the potential of dwarves is unlimited! !

Not to mention the wine! ! !

The demons love this spicy tongue-burning food very much. Since August brought back a lot of peppers in the first year, they firmly believe that peppers belong to the fruit of the demons!I don't know why, but the demon fruit can't be grown on the demon land, so I can only give up in resentment.

But August didn't tell them that the food made from devil fruit is so delicious! !It is more delicious than roasting and boiling water! !

Damn August, no wonder he runs to Olanka every winter, he really pissed them off! !
