"Sofia, thank you for following me these days and helping me sort out the magic circles copied from the ruins. I have been preparing for this for a long time,"
"Teacher, please don't say that." Sophia waved her hands in confusion.
"I will leave all the materials I made for rubbing and copying to your lords. I suggest you borrow them and take a look. You and Jonny are very suitable for drawing magic scrolls. You should practice more in the future."
Finally, Ben Call turned to the last girl, "Little Cardinal?"
"Ah, teacher, why are you still here with me?" Little Red Bird was a little at a loss.
"Of course you are. You are a junior mage. Not only are you the first magician born in this territory, but you are also the Queen of Yeqi City who personally instructed you. Don't always feel that you have a poor foundation and do not know magic. Words are part of magic, and numbers are It’s also part of the magic.”
"Thank you, Teacher Ben. What's wrong with you? Why are you telling us this?" Not only the little red bird, the other girls were also very surprised as to why Ben Call suddenly came over to comment on each of them.
"I have almost finished exploring the ruins and am ready to return to the imperial capital."
The girls looked at each other and were very surprised, "Teacher, I feel that the rubbings you made are the magic circles on the second and third floors underground. Aren't there several more floors?"
"Yes, my research only involves 1/3 of the entire underground ruins, but this is already the majority of what my ancestor, the legendary magician Kaul, involved. As I said, I want to follow in his footsteps." Ben explained, "The magic relics on this ruin become older as you go down. From the magic circle below the fourth floor, don't move until you reach the Grand Mage."
"Grand Magister?" Sofia muttered, this was too far away for her.
"Are you leaving today?" Wendy asked.
"No, it may be a few days later. I have agreed with Lant that I will go to the new industrial zone to take a look at the newly installed boilers, but I have already made plans and plan to arrive at Maned Wolf City before the 20th. "The mage patted Wendy on the shoulder and said, "We should have another chance to meet in the future. I wish you both continue to move forward on the road of magic."
"Thank you, teacher. I hope I will have the opportunity to listen to your class again in the future." The girls sincerely thanked Ben Caul together. Compared to the wizard Gandalf Merlin, who teaches various magic and meditation methods, Ben's teaching is biased toward cutting-edge magic. Theory has very unique insights into various current schools of thought, which greatly expands the girls' horizons. Now that he is leaving, the girls feel a little sad.
. . .
At noon, Lant took Ben to the new industrial zone and noticed that Ben was not very interested.
"What's wrong, teacher, is it difficult to take care of this group of students?"
"Huh?" Ben glanced at Lant, knowing that he was talking about his failure to persuade a few girls, "I'm thinking about Teferi. A few years ago, he said he found a good seedling in Dragon Tooth City, so that Pure The tower has allocated a separate quota to the Dragon Kingdom."
"Oh, you have quite a lot of connections," Lant thought to himself.
"Unexpectedly, people from Dragon Tooth City later reported that the girl went home before taking the qualification exam, and the spot was taken by another girl from the Feilong family." Ben Kaur recalled. "I'm thinking, if there wasn't that special quota back then, and instead someone directly brought Wendy to the Imperial Capital, would it have been smoother?"
"Maybe." Lant just dealt with it, but he was not sure what Ben's real thoughts were. In his opinion, the Tower of Purity was not a simple educational institution, but more of a place where the God-Emperor trained his confidants. Children like Wendy would go there. It may not necessarily lead to good results.
"Are you really not considering going to the Imperial Capital with me?" Ben asked Lant again, "Instead of cooperating with the Lan Yuan family, it is better to find a family in the Imperial Capital." Lant had already told him what the Griffin Knight had given him a few days ago. Congratulations came, and he had some words for this, "To be honest, using the senior members of the Lan Yuan family to win the iron ore is not a bad choice, but the Lan Yuan family will let the entire kingdom know about it."
"I'm still a little reluctant to give myself up for marriage. Essentially, I'm the same as Wendy and the others," Lant said honestly. "We're all used to living in small places and are not used to the rules of big cities. No matter if we go to big cities by ourselves, , or bring people from big cities to your own home to be the hostess."
"Really? If you really can't let go of yourself, you can let go of your father and your two brothers. They must like women from big families very much." Ben said with a smile. To a certain extent, Ben was very interested in Lant's family. Have a very deep understanding.
"Really? I don't think they are that interested in Gu Leiya."
"That's because they are interested in the bloodline, unlike you who are interested in the big tail." Ben looked at Lant meaningfully.
The two of them arrived at the new industrial zone chatting and laughing, just in time to catch up with the potters mixing the clay. After the clay is mixed, it needs to be pressed and molded in a mold, dried and then fired. With the steam engine, both mixing and compression molding can rely on steam power. , the efficiency is greatly improved.
"Are you planning to make porcelain?" Ben saw some potters applying glaze to the finished pottery. "Where did you find the porcelain craftsmen?"
Porcelain is different from pottery. The skill is only in the hands of a few big nobles. Each family holds porcelain craftsmen in their hands. Ben Kaul does not believe that there are such talents in the salt mines of Lant.
"There are no craftsmen. Porcelain is simply glaze on a plain embryo, using a glass layer formed by high temperature. I found the glaze formula in the library area of the palace. Let them try it first." In fact, Lant did not lie. There are some records about porcelain in it. The ancient scrolls also mark the kaolin and clay mines near the new industrial zone, but the core firing temperature and process principles were known by Lant before he traveled through it.
Rand is anxious to make porcelain, not because he hopes to export it to the outside world in exchange for money, but because the glass layer on the surface of the porcelain and its low price can be better popularized among the people in the territory and improve the food hygiene in the territory.
"Since you figured it out on your own, let me remind you a few more words." Ben smiled, "In the past, the Galloping Horse Kingdom was rich in a kind of magic pattern porcelain. The pattern of the porcelain comes with the magic pattern of life, so there is no need for additional Magic crystal can slowly nourish life. Once it is successfully fired, it can be used for drinking and eating to prolong life. There are even magicians who use this kind of porcelain to grow magic plants."
"You don't need additional magic crystals, but rely on the magic patterns that nourish life types?" Lant kept thinking about the feasibility from a technical point of view, "Is this magic pattern drawn on white porcelain? Or is it burned out? some?"
"If it's painted on white porcelain, why would it be called magic pattern ceramics?" Ben asked rhetorically.
"When porcelain is fired, the temperature must be at least a thousand degrees. That means that a magic pattern that can gradually absorb the high-temperature magic power during the firing process must be placed first to provide magic power for the fired life magic pattern?" Lan? I am very interested in the topic of magic pattern ceramics.
"A very good idea, but unfortunately I don't know. Such porcelain only appeared 50 years before Benma destroyed the country. Only a few nobles were lucky enough to see it. All the existing magic pattern porcelain is hundreds of years old. Each item in our current inventory is worth several hundred gold coins. If you can really make it, you must give me one."
"It's a deal." Ben Kaur's words made Lant suddenly see the light of day. "I will definitely build a workshop in the palace to test various alchemical porcelains. This place can be called the Manufacturing Office. What do you think?" ?”
"Where did you get all these words?"
