The banquet hall of Padmila Palace was brightly lit. Knights, mages, orc priests, barbarian chiefs, and dwarf rune masters, every professional can get at least two bottles of wine tonight. Professionals under 18 years old have a special non-alcoholic version of the wine.
Although Lant just complained that the legendary dwarf drank all his wine, Lant actually has a lot of wine in stock, especially after a large amount of old grain arrived, and the excess grain was used to make wine. I heard about the magic pattern plant a few days ago After becoming fond of brewing wine, Lant also purchased some cheap grain wine from the royal capital and distilled it in the workshop.
In addition, the girls have drawn dozens of magic pattern brewing barrels during this period, and the new batch of shochu will be completed quickly. Therefore, in general, the magic wine in the territory is refined and processed from magic algae, as well as brewed by intermediate magic plants. The galloping horse wines are all at a stage of acceptable production.
The so-called acceptable means that if we only focus on providing support to children and potential mages, it will naturally be sufficient. However, looking at the total number of barbarians, humans, half-orcs, and half-dwarves in the territory, there are less than 2,000 people. This amount of wine is divided equally. If so, no one will be enough.
Nowadays, all the resources in the Rand territory are like this wine. It is barely enough when used intensively, but it is definitely not enough to open the supply.
In the banquet hall, Biloska Lanyuan led several mages to toast to several female mages. In their view, the relationship between these young female mages and their lords is obvious. In the future, even if they are not all lords' wives, they will all have themselves. Magic Tower, you must start cultivating good relationships now.
The two female mages, Shafana Feilong and Sally Feilong, continued to run in front of Huck Galloping Horse and wink at him. Several intermediate knights with daughters took their daughters and ran around Nila, trying to get close to this man. Lant's closest sister.
Dwarves don't like to quarrel with human mages and nobles, but they like to chat with barbarians and orcs. Rune master Yin Mukawi is looking for Neil everywhere, and he especially likes this barbarian boy.
Of course, Neil wouldn't wait around to drink in the banquet hall. He took his little lover Xiaohua, the little princess of the Horned Tribe, for a ride in the city, and then took the girl to Makoto's tent to talk to her mother. The future marriage of two people.
However, after a pair of lovers entered the door of Makoto's tent, they saw Lord Lant sitting behind the table directly opposite, leaning his head on his arms and reading the account books on the table.
Xiaohua had never seen Lant in Makoto's tent. She didn't think much about it at first and almost opened her mouth to scream.
"Dad", and then he saw inside the tent, in addition to Makoto, there were also Little Red Bird and four girls. The four girls were named Yu Ling, Wu Ling, Xia Ling, and Jiling. It is said that they were once heroes on the grassland. The apprentices of the Eagle Priest were uniformly named by the priest. Now these girls are inside. Yu Ling and Wu Ling have already inspired their bloodline, and the other two are about to do it.
With so many people in the tent, they were obviously settling accounts. Seeing Lant's sad face, Neil probably didn't think it was easy to settle accounts, so he heard Makoto talking next to him.
"Sir, you really can't settle this account. It will take at least more than a year for the magic potion and Warcraft industries to see profits. Magic potions and fine wines are basically supplied to the territory. Even with the Benma family's fund, I'm afraid we won't be able to reap the benefits. The funds will not last for another year." Makoto brought the bill to Lant and showed him the final version of the income and expenditure statement.
"That's not right. I have calculated it before. Once some of our Monster Breedings are put into production, the expenses will be greatly reduced." Rand took the bill and frowned even more tightly.
"Why is there such a big difference in your account?"
"That's because you didn't count that Wendy and the others will upgrade, right? From a junior mage to an intermediate mage, the type and amount of monster meat they eat will increase significantly. We can't only have 6 intermediate mages in our territory, right? Lili, Sophia and our little red Will the bird have to break through in the future? In the future, Wendy will have to challenge the senior mage, right?" Makoto patted the little red bird on the shoulder,
"They don't all grow meat when they eat meat, they even grow taller!"
"Okay, you have to spend money when it's time to spend it. I'll come find the food and funds." Lant shook his head and saw Neil in front of him.
"Sir, we didn't know you were here, let's leave first." Neil was very embarrassed. He didn't expect that his lord would have to audit the accounts that night when he was appointed as the governor of Yeqi City, so he could only drag Xiaohua out.
"Neil, wait a minute." Lantern waved to Neil and said to the two people with a smile.
"Are you two planning to get married?"
"Sir, Neil and Xiaohua are both young. We have to wait until after your wedding to talk." Makoto looked at Lant and asked Neil, and said quickly.
"What does this have to do with me? After all, Nila is not around, so don't rush into marriage with me." Lanter waved his hand to Makoto, took out a small magic-sealing box from the space ring, and handed it to Got the little flower,
"I bought jewelry for Neil before. It's the style of the royal capital. The magic patterns on it are helpful to stimulate the blood." Xiaohua opened the magic sealing box and saw a set of necklaces, earrings and bracelets, all made of silver. There is a golden base in the middle with magic patterns and gems on the base.
"Sir, this is too expensive!" Makoto looked at the Demon Sealing Box blankly. Although this style is simple, it is not cheap. Each one costs about 10 gold coins. Makoto did not expect that Rand would give Neil such an expensive gift. jewelry.
"I gave it to Neil, and I will give it to you when you get married in the future." Lant pointed to the Little Cardinals. For Neil, Lant basically regarded Neil as a son. He was very happy that Neil had a lover. A castle in the fiefdom and a set of furniture had been prepared for Neil a long time ago. However, Neil's current level is still too low. It is too eye-catching for him to enter a viscounty castle like West 7, so he can only be allowed to explore the north first. .
Compared with giving wedding gifts to the children, settling accounts is really a chore, especially after settling the accounts, he still has to find a way to raise money. When Lant came out of Makoto's tent, he saw Wendy outside the door.
"Just now, Little Cardinal told me that Xiaohua and Neil are going to call you daddy." Wendy covered her mouth and said to Lant. This was of course a joke, but there was no smile on Lant's face. ,
"Are you OK?"
"Do you think it would be better for me to be a mage?" Looking at Lant's look, Wendy knew that the territory might be too difficult, but she still shook her head: "You can't be a mage. of."
"Why?" Lant smiled. Although he thought so himself, he wanted to hear Wendy's reasons.
"You can't let go of those non-demon people, nor can you let go of the territory."
