Wolf King

On the afternoon of the first day of the ball game, before the start of the second game, Moon of Revenge, who was still standing in the aisle watching, had a few extra lottery tickets in his hands...

"The lottery tickets are only sold within half an hour before the start of the game. Is it to prevent people from operating in secret... But it is quite labor-intensive. It takes a ticket sales team of hundreds of people to get busy just for the ordinary audience seats that can be seen."

Moon of Vengeance naturally doesn't care about the blitz. Although he is considered poor among the great magicians, compared with the embarrassing master and apprentice of Arman, he is definitely a rich man...

I roughly counted the staff of the lottery team who wandered around to sell as far as I could see. Although I didn't have the opportunity to understand the working system of the lottery team, I can imagine that the workload will not be so small, and the management difficulty is even more impossible. Low.

"Willing to use complicated methods to do a simple thing, just to avoid disadvantages in the process... With such an attitude, Isaac Robbins can indeed be called a quite qualified leader."

Seeing the behind-the-scenes meaning of such a laborious lottery ticket sale, Moon of Revenge's mood is quite complicated... and a little contemptuous of such a brazen money-making routine, and can't help admiring that he can take his attitude very seriously even to make money local lords.

As a member of the local indigenous high-level intellectuals and an elite among the elites, although Moon of Revenge cannot accurately say the word "lazy government", he has a relatively sufficient understanding of the rentiers in this world—— Whether it's noble deacons managing farms and manors, or noble bureaucrats managing country towns, it's all about how to save trouble.

Anyone with a bit of IQ knows that dealing with things in the most trouble-free way will inevitably lead to countless more troublesome problems; but it doesn't matter, "it is better to solve the problem than to solve the person who raised the problem" has always been a clear rule in this world ~!

The Moon of Vengeance has no doubts, if other noble lords run the stadium and engage in gambling and lottery, then they will not be able to adopt such a troublesome way of selling tickets in order to ensure fairness, let alone limit the amount of bets and purchases. The number of tickets is used to prevent the audience from betting wildly due to excessive gambling, resulting in loss of money-if you don’t empty the pockets of every audience who walks into the battlefield, those noble lords have to lose~!

"...If Knight Robbins didn't have such charm, it wouldn't be enough to build a territory the size of a small town in less than two years, and gather so many people."

Moon of Vengeance sighed with emotion in a low voice. After walking to the village where the local villagers lived, he realized that the buildings in the knights' collar were very new. After a little inquiring, he realized that this place was still a wasteland two years ago... …Until the winter of the year before last, when Knight Robbins was enshrined here, countless buildings gradually sprang up in the wasteland.

Although more than [-]% of the houses and public facilities in the knight collar are single-storey buildings, and only less than [-]% are small second floors, the construction difficulty is relatively low (the technical work requirements are low, and generally strong farmers and women can participate in the construction ); but in such a short period of time, turning the wasteland into a bustling street, attracting people from scratch to form a town, and building a large theater and a battlefield with an absolutely high amount of engineering, Moon of Revenge thinks it is the Federation's It is impossible for the royal family to do this more neatly than Isaac Robbins.

"Let's not talk about building a knight's collar. Just this battlefield alone will take at least a few years for an ordinary lord." Vengeance Moon thought sarcastically, not to mention anything else, where his mage tower is located, that The rural aristocrats took away the most fertile land to build sugar beet plantations, and they tossed and fro for more than half a year.

"Isaac Robbins..." The young man with a good temperament that he saw in the pig farm appeared in Moon of Vengeance's mind, and he regretted that he didn't follow and observe for a while.

Uh... I think so, Vengeance Moon has no intention of leaving immediately to find Isaac at all - the tickets for the game day are free, and the spectators who squeezed in have already far exceeded the carrying capacity of the stadium, even in the aisle It is not an easy task to squeeze from the back row to the front row.

On the left side of Moon of Revenge, in front of the guardrail near the bearing pillars of the auditorium, a few girls who probably came from Valentine to watch the game took off the support frame in their tutu skirts to barely squeeze in...

As for Isaac, who was being chanted by Moon of Revenge, it wasn't until the second game started, and the second lieutenant Snow Elf's attention shifted to the game, that he was tricked by the teacher and finally escaped from Selena's majesty. .

Staggering out of the VIP room, Isaac pointed to the room where the teacher was forced to squat by the snow wolf warriors, and immediately floated over with a resentful expression on his face.

This year, there are more VIP guests than last year. Fortunately, the VIP area was already relatively large, and a group of VIP room buildings were added during the slack period before winter last year, which not only allowed VIP guests to enter the game, but also Teams participating in the competition can also be allocated a large room with a good view.

Before entering the door, Isaac heard jubilant laughter from the VIP room occupied by the snow wolves...

"Ah Shan, you want to play, it doesn't matter if you tell us, you have to convince Ah Yun, hahaha!"

"Ayun, why can't I play?!"

"Stop making trouble, Uncle A-Shan, you only occasionally played warball with A-Yan and the others in the tribe, and you haven't practiced seriously at all..."

"Who said that Ah Yan can't defend me!"

"So Ah Yan doesn't have a chance to participate~"

"I'm great!"

"Okay, okay... Hey Uncle Ashan, look at that human player, his face looks so strange!"

"What face are you looking at with a helmet on! Ah Yun, don't change the subject!"

Isaac raised his hand and was about to knock on the door: "..."

During the period of "studying" in the Fire Department, Isaac was not unaware that the teacher had a special attitude towards Ah Shan.

The other Snowwolves have short hair that is convenient for doing things. Even Teacher Ayun's own hair has never grown beyond a finger. Dudu Ashan can have shoulder-length hair that can be tied into a ponytail. Isaac also saw it with his own eyes. Mr. Guo helped Ah Shan with his hair.

It is recognized that Dahe, who is most favored by Ayun, will be severely scolded by Teacher Ayun if he makes a mistake, and if it is Ashan who has done something wrong, Teacher Ayun will only persuade him with nice words, and even personally in order to coax Ashan. Make delicious food by hand, so that Ah Shan can recognize where he is doing wrong in a good mood and stable mood.

Isaac had never thought of being jealous of Ah Shan, but when he was beaten to death, the teacher actually coaxed Ah Shan so softly, which made Isaac very wronged...

The aggrieved Isaac stopped knocking on the door, and pushed the door open directly, looking for the figure of the teacher among the snow wolves with a resentful face.

Xiao Yun turned his head when he heard the movement, without the slightest sense of cheating his disciple, he raised his hand to greet him naturally: "I'm done with work, Isaac, come and sit here, there is a seat for you."

Isaac paused, Xiao Yun was sitting on the right side of the room closest to the viewing platform, Ashan was sitting on the right side, Mr. Xiao En was on the left side, and there was indeed an empty chair diagonally opposite the coffee table Over there.

Isaac, who was full of resentment, felt a little excited for a moment, and the corners of his mouth pulled up a little. The teacher said in the morning that he would spare time to watch the second game together. The teacher still remembers~!

With a little excitement of "the teacher still values ​​me", Isaac, who was bought by an empty chair, walked over uncontrollably and sat down obediently.

Xiao Yun conveniently took a cup of iced milky white drink from the insulated wooden box on the coffee table and handed it to Isaac, and took the slightly cold cup, and Isaac didn't even feel any resentment... The iced soybean milk powder after mixing with hot water is his favorite drink!

Soybean, which is easier to grow than wheat and has almost no choice for land, is one of several crops grown on a large scale by Huoyanbu, and the planting volume is larger than wheat.

When so many soybeans are grown, it is natural to consider how to use them. In addition to growing bean sprouts to make various kinds of tofu to press oil and raise pigs, the Huoyan Department has not given up on further development in recent years. Soymilk powder is one of the new products that have just "launched" this year. .

Hmm... Soymilk essence with milk powder is also fine...

The processing technology of soybean milk powder is not difficult based on the skill points of the technology tree selected by the Ministry of Fire and Flame:

After soaking the selected impurities-free soybeans, grind them three times into very fine soybean flour, add water at a ratio of 10:0.2, add 0.5% sodium hydroxide (in fact, alkaline water) to adjust the pH value, boil at high temperature to reduce the smell of beans, and add chlorine Sodium chloride (actually electrolyzed brine) and sodium sulfite (also produced from brine) remove the surface tension of soy milk, and finally add a certain proportion ([-]%~[-]%) of soybean oil.

Then it is to concentrate and add sugar in a vacuum tank (ready-made machine), use a pressure spray machine to spray into powder (this step is a bit similar to aluminum processing), add a certain amount of goat milk powder (some people are not used to milk, consider When the market accepts it, I replaced it with goat milk) to adjust the taste, stir it evenly and pack it in bags (plastic bags), then it can be shipped and sold~!

Last year, the Qiuling New District was so busy building agricultural machinery that Hongye kept its feet on the ground. A small amount of trial-produced soybean milk powder was only enough for internal consumption (the nutritional value of soybean milk can replace breastfeeding to a certain extent, so that mothers can also work normally cough cough), Isaac only got a small can, and he got a lot of misfortune from Alex; this year, Qiuling New Area has the spare capacity to mass-produce soybean milk powder. This stuff is not so rare, but Isaac still likes it~!

Mr. Xiao En, who saw Isaac being bought off by a chair and a cup of soy milk, did not say anything, as calm as if he was not the witness who Xiao Yun dumped on Isaac at all... If Xiao Yun's coquettish operation is shocking, he won't have the energy to do other things.

Players from both sides entered the arena, and the match officially started. Mr. Xiao En, who ignored his bad friends and played with his disciples, pointed to the team on the field, and said concisely: "That is the team 'sponsored' by the Beast Emperor."

Among the other three at the same table, Ah Shan was still losing his temper, and turned his face away to ignore them. Xiao Yun, who knew about this in the morning, was expressionless. Isaac frowned and looked at the team composed of orcs.

"Mr. Sean, how do you know that this team has something to do with the Beast Emperor?" Isaac said.

Mr. Xiao En smiled indifferently, with an air of invisible pretense: "I traveled to the Orc Empire before assisting King Cronin, and I met the captain of this team in the Moon Bear City of the Moon Bear Clan. Casually pointing to the strong moon bear with the number "1" painted on the armor with dye, "The appearance of the orcs is similar to foreigners, but there are differences in details. Almost 50 years, this The first Yuexiong is a little more mature than before, but I can be sure that he must have served as the city defense team of Yuexiong City."

After a pause, Mr. Sean smiled and added an explanation: "The Orc Empire is very wary of magicians traveling from outside. If a spellcaster enters, it must be the city defense team or patrol team who come to deal with it."

In the territories and cities of various ethnic groups, apart from the army, the armed forces are the city defense team or the territory patrol team.Smaller or economically underdeveloped areas cannot support an organized army, so they only have city defense teams or territorial patrols.For example... the Golden Plain of the Lion Clan relies on patrols to ensure the security of the territory and resist foreign enemies.

Isaac's knight collar is next to Valentine, and the straight-line distance is only [-] kilometers. If there is anything to do, you can borrow the city defense team from Valentine, which saves this expense-although most of the thieves gangs in the Federation are squatting It's not unheard of to intrude into a country and loot cities and towns in border crossings.

Isaac shook his head with some embarrassment, and said with a wry smile: "Valentin's human adventurers spontaneously formed a lot of teams, I thought Valentine's bear adventurers formed a battle team by themselves. It's strange... I didn't expect it to be related to the Far Eastern Beastman Empire."

The "Valentine Team" jointly established by Isaac and Viscount Pope didn't hire particularly good players, and they weren't qualified enough to play exhibition games on the ball day. It's not that Valentine's adventurers are not good, but that they have always been unruly. There are quite a few adventurers who are not willing to belong to the noble team and be restricted in their freedom of life. (In contrast, the foreign aid club started by Isaac is full of talented people, and it is doing well, ahem)

Anyway, they have money themselves, so they recruited a group of friends to pool the money, painted the armor into the same color, and took a few months to practice and practice, and their combat effectiveness was no worse than that of the "Valentine team".

The match against the Bear Clan team led by Yue Xiong, who is suspected of being a spy, is a wild team composed of human adventurers. The team name is "Spike Fang", which has obvious enthusiasm for the wolf clan.

"Why would the Beast Emperor send someone to me?" This was the question Isaac couldn't figure out the most.

Mr. Xiao En shook his head with a smile: "No, I don't think the Beast Emperor came for you or your knights."

"Yes." Xiao Yun nodded, "In my opinion, the Beast Emperor should have borrowed your knight leader's invitation to hold the ball league, and used this opportunity as a springboard, but he didn't say hello to you, the landlord."

"Huh?" Isaac was a little surprised.

Xiao Yun looked at the foolish disciple with deep eyes: "Think about it carefully, Isaac, what do you think is the most likely purpose of the Beast Emperor making such a move?"

Isaac knew that it was the teacher who was testing him, so he quickly immersed himself in thinking.

A few years ago, Isaac, who was just the leader of a small adventurer team, was limited by his position and life experience, and his vision of looking at things was a bit superficial. If he was hit by such a question on his head, he would definitely He can only have the thought of "The Beast Emperor absolutely wants to harm me".

Now, Isaac, who has managed the territory for two years, sold the goods on the grassland to all parts of Cronin, and dealt with countless people he had no contact with before, is naturally not so simple.

The two sides began to fight on the court. Both sides were teams of local adventurers. They both played a lot of fame in Valentine and the surrounding territories. There were many supporters. There were also other territories that were defeated by these two teams. The football fans came to watch the match. As soon as the two sides confronted each other, there was a tsunami of shouts and cheers, which was even more lively than the previous game.

It seemed that a certain party had launched a beautiful attack. Some of the Snow Wolf warriors watching the battle in the same room cheered, and the angry Ah Shan couldn't help but peek at the field.

Mr. Xiao En watched the game with great interest, only Xiao Yun was still staring at Isaac.

A few minutes later, Isaac, who carefully sorted out the information he knew and tried his best to imitate Teacher Ayun's overall analysis from the objective perspective of overlooking all changes in the situation, His eyes lit up, he slapped his thighs, and raised his head excitedly.

"I see, teacher, Mr. Sean. The purpose of the Beast Emperor...maybe the same as ours!"

Mr. Xiao En withdrew his gaze, nodded with a smile, and Xiao Yun also smiled.

"When we first came to Valentine together, Isaac was still like a squeamish young master. But in just three years, your disciple has grown up." Mr. Xiao En smiled and praised Xiao Yun , It's not about lifting the sedan chair, but he really thinks that the growth of young people of Isaac's age is worthy of admiration.

Isaac was a little embarrassed... He himself would never be forced to go back and recall the time when he first met the teacher, the Snow Wolf Clan, and Mr. Xiao En. At that time, he was really immature.

Xiao Yun is not polite when using his disciples, but he will also maintain the dignity and self-confidence of the disciples. At this time, he will definitely not suppress the self-confidence and self-esteem of the disciples in order to show his humility, but nod in satisfaction, and continue to praise Isaac. : "Isaac's benevolent character is what I admire the most. If there was something wrong with Isaac before, it was just a relatively poor vision, which made up for this shortcoming. Isaac Just as reassuring as Carlisle."

Isaac was shy and happy at the same time, couldn't help but smirked, and completely left the thing that the teacher threw at him half an hour ago to make things difficult for the Blizzard Elf to his grandma's house...

Ah Shan listened to it for a while, and seeing them both boasting around Isaac, he turned his head to look at it strangely: "Ah Yun, what are you talking about, and what purpose do we have? Hey, does the Beast Emperor also want to engage in battle balls?" League?"

Mr. Isaac & Sean: "..."

"...Why would I be jealous of Ah Shan?" Isaac fell into deep self-doubt.

Xiao Yun didn't feel that his uncle was stupid at all, not only didn't ridicule first before talking about the matter like others did, but also explained to Ah Shan very considerately and patiently: "No, Uncle Ah Shan, we are talking about sea ships, ships that can cross the open sea Big ships. Those of us who have the conditions to build a port are all eyeing Cronin’s sea-going ship technology, so how could the Beast Emperor, who is in the Far East and closest to the Bradrick Continent next door, not be tempted?”

After Ah Shan understood for a while, Xiao Yun smiled again: "We have Isaac to help, but the Beast Emperor doesn't have a human race who can be trusted by him like we trust Isaac, so the methods we can use, the Beast Emperor cannot use. .”

"The battle ball passed by our snow wolf tribe can make ignorant civilians in small towns accept the image of the orc tribe, and even pursue players who are good at war ball. It's so convenient~!"

"So, he intends to take advantage of our advantage to create a warball star... You must know that warball has only become popular since last year. Although we have worked hard to promote it, it is only in the Kingdom of Cronin for the time being. It is popular in the territory, and other countries in the Federation have not been affected. In this case, the Beast Emperor across the sea knows that war balls are popular here. If he has never paid attention to the Kingdom of Cronin, he is just kidding children~ !"

Isaac, who listened to Xiao Yun's careful and patient analysis to Ah Shan: "..."

Just... still a little jealous...
