The four of them went to a restaurant in the city for dinner, and Steele treated them to a treat. A big black bread tube satisfies the appetite, a few roasted meats to satisfy the craving, and a glass of blackcurrant wine for each person. Steele also ordered a small piece of exotic animal meat, about one or two pieces of meat, which cost 1 gold pound, cut into four small pieces, each person Have a taste. Voltaire had already practiced the breathing method. Once he tasted it, he knew it was wonderful. The meat was full of special energy and could be easily absorbed. It was completely different from the breathing method to absorb special energy. Voltaire asked: "Where does the meat of alien beasts come from?" Bard replied: "Nightmare Forest. This is the only place on our continent where it is produced. If it is found in other places, it will also come from the Nightmare Forest." Voltaire Steer asked: "Why does it appear there?" Steele replied: "I only heard that there is a node, and I don't know what it means." Voltaire asked: "Are the alien beasts powerful?" Bard replied: "I traveled to several big cities and met some professional mercenaries. Some of them were hired to hunt strange beasts in the Nightmare Forest. They said that the mortality rate there was very high. It would be good if half of them could come out." Voltaire asked : "What level can those mercenaries reach?" Bard replied: "The strength is about the same as those of knights and attendants, but they have much more experience." Voltaire was surprised and said: "The alien beasts are so strong?" Bard replied: "Yes. Even herbivores are extremely powerful. Even if they hump you or kick you, you won't be able to bear it. I heard that if you reach the level of a knight, you can survive in the Nightmare Forest." Voltaire nodded. Have a good time in Novice Village and don't waste time.
Voltaire spent another two days in the blacksmith's shop hammering the iron, trying to shape it with a hammer, and it worked. Voltaire's senses are extremely sensitive and he is very suitable for delicate work. Seeing that Voltaire was so good, Steele taught him even more verbosely.
On the afternoon of December 31, Voltaire hurried home, bringing with him a lot of food, nice fabrics, and most importantly, 5 gold pounds. Mother Elsa hugged Voltaire and was extremely happy. I am so happy to have such a promising and sensible son. Stone also looked at the mother and son happily. In the evening, the family gathered around the table and had a happy and ordinary dinner. Voltaire thought to himself, in this world, I just want to protect this home.
At night, Voltaire was lying on the bed, thinking: "It has been half a year since I came to this world. The environment is relatively safe, the family is small but warm, the team is not big and I don't want to expand, the benefits are not many and I don't want too much. It feels like In this world, the growth of personal force is the core, and I have grasped the key to the growth of force in this world. The various refining qi in the ancient world can improve and maintain the body, and the breathing methods and special energy of the Western Fantasy World can be transformed through qi training. Practicing qi and transforming qi into essence strengthens the body and promotes the continuous growth of personal force. I don’t know what will happen in the future. For this knowledge, I need to consult White in a circumstantial way."
On January 4 of the following year, Voltaire went to the manor carrying wine and meat. Old Jack, the butler, smiled happily when he saw Voltaire and said: "Stay is such a good boy, coming to visit your Excellency so early." He introduced Voltaire into the hall. The White Knight family were all there, including Mrs. Streisand, 14-year-old Betty, 13-year-old Rose, 12-year-old Lily, and 10-year-old son Varrel. Betty's two sisters were also good-looking, but Voltaire did not dare to look at them, but bowed respectfully. Streisand said: "Stay has grown taller and more handsome." Voltaire did not dare to talk. Streisand continued: "With so many of White's subordinates, Stay is the most promising. But, Stay, it's difficult to become a knight! It took White seven years to go from entry to advanced knight, and the expenses were countless. Voltaire replied: "Thank you, madam, for reminding me. I entered the sect without any medication, and I plan to grow up without medication. If I succeed in becoming a knight, I will share my experience with you and Varel." White was a little bit Moved, he said: "If you really succeed, then I will accept your gift, and I feel a little ashamed." Volsta said: "Thank you, sir, for always protecting our farmers! Thank you, sir, for cultivating me! Thank you, sir, and All my family’s love for me!” Streisand said, “Stay will have dinner with us at noon today.” Voltaire had to say yes.
Rose, Lily, and Varel were no longer reserved, and all gathered around Vols. Rose said, "I heard from my father that you have great ambitions and want to travel across the continent. Can you take me with you?" Vols. Tai replied: "I want to suffer more. Does Miss Rose also want to suffer more?" Betty made a sound and said: "She is a person who can't bear the slightest bit of suffering." Rose shouted: "You can do it. You are the one who can't bear any hardship." The two of them kept arguing. Streisand said: "Okay. What does it look like? It's so rude!" The two of them shut up. Lily said: "Brother Stei, what else do you do besides training?" Volstey said: "Stay with your parents, brag and chat with them." Lily said: "I can do the same. Accompany your parents, I mean, don't you like to go out and play?" Volstey said: "I'm older, and I'm not very interested in children's games. I want to go around and have fun when I become stronger." Lily said: "Are you coming back when you go out?" Voltaire said: "Of course, my home is here! Mom and dad, there will be a younger brother or sister soon." From the corner of his eye, Voltaire caught sight of old Jack smiling. Mouth from ear to ear. Lili said: "That's good. I'm willing to wait for you here." Ah! Voltaire is going crazy. Betty and Rose jumped up and scolded: "Little brat, you have nothing to do here." White coughed loudly and said: "Stay said, I won't consider it until I'm eighteen. You should also be more reserved. What will happen in the future? Like? Just let it happen." Betty muttered: "But, Steve has obviously slept with Carol." My mother! Run quickly. Voltaire bowed and retired. Old Jack led Voltaire and ran away quickly.
On the second day, all knights, attendants and soldiers returned to daily mode. In White's training room, Voltaire massaged White until he screamed. Since yesterday's battle, the two of them have become much closer. White said: "Next time you give me a massage, can you let those two guys take turns to come in and learn from you?" Voltaire replied: "Okay!" White said Voltaire said: "Stay, you are nothing like us mainlanders. Don't you know the principle of equivalent exchange?" Voltaire replied: "I know. But you are different, sir. I am willing to give." White muttered: " It seems that from now on, I will leave all three girls to you."
On the 10th, Bader ran over and said: "Stay, business is great. Many merchants from far away come to trade, and our supply exceeds demand. Do you want to build another kiln?" Volstey thought for a while and said: " It's OK to build a new kiln, but don't put your eggs in one basket. Build a coke factory here, produce and pick up goods here, sell and collect payments in the city." Bud asked: "How to deploy personnel?" Vols Tai replied: "You decide this yourself. I don't care about site selection, leasing, etc. I will help with the construction. By the way, this coke plant can absorb Strong's capital as a shareholder, but others can't." Bud agreed. , and went to make preparations. On the 15th, construction of a new kiln began on a hill 3 kilometers northeast of the manor. The mountains are bare and treeless, but at the foot of the mountains there are rivers and flat ground, making it easy to build roads. Bader hired many local fellows, including women and children, and the road only needed to be built for 1 kilometer to connect to the main road. On the 25th, the road was repaired and the kiln was built. The new coke factory was produced by Si Tong, and two local boys, Si Tie and Si Lian, were recruited. Voltaire, Steele, Bard, and Strong each invested 5 gold pounds.
