Chapter 70 Grum Slime Factory (please read it!)
Ten moon velvet horses, one hundred escudos, and the honorary knight badge of Antolia.
When the herald beside Leon delivered the Lord's reward to Sherman, Sherman was in the newly built Groom factory outside the city, dispensing the cement necessary for building roads and bridges.
"Oh! My God!"
"Thank you Lord! Thank you to the God of Forging! Sherman is very happy! This is the Lord's recognition of Sherman!" The
newly promoted knight jumped up excitedly and almost almost Then he poked the herald's chin.
Honorary knight!
Although there is no fief, it is just an honorary title that is not even as good as a knight, and it cannot be passed down, but for Sherman, this is already an unimaginable recognition!
You know, he is just a dwarf, a craftsman!
Perhaps the great nobles are willing to provide high-skilled dwarf craftsmen with generous rewards, but they will never be willing to give them a noble title like an honorary knight.
Even though this title has no practical use, in the subconscious mind of most nobles, if you want to become an honorary knight, you must first be a human being who has made important military achievements.
But Leon obviously has no such awareness.
A title without any claim or fiefdom is given as soon as it is given. There is really no need to search for it.
If one day he becomes a duke, or even a king, it is not impossible to make all the people in the territory an honorary knight.
Having them all is equivalent to not having them all. The main thing is to raise the flag collectively, and Antolia’s eight flags belong to it.
"Don't sit here and cry. Doing your job well is better than anything else!"
Just when Sherman was so excited that he couldn't control himself, Leon finally accompanied Aaron and others for the first time. For the first time, he came to this place he called Grum's slime factory.
"Lord Viscount..."
The moment he saw his lord, Sherman immediately hugged Leon's thigh tightly.
This is not only his lord, but also his benefactor!
Looking around, looking at the Kingdom of Andal and even the entire continent, is there any dwarf who can become an honorary knight?
Even if he is not the only one, he is definitely one of the few!
"Okay, okay!"
As soon as he entered the door, his legs were hugged. Leon was a little confused:
"Take me to visit here first!"
Leon worked on his hands and feet for a while, and then he let Sherman regained some composure.
"Everything in Groom Factory was built according to the instructions of Lord Viscount and Steward Aaron."
Sherman walked inside while introducing the factory in front of his lord.
In fact, it can't be said to be a factory. After all, what produces cement is not the buzzing machines, but the slime brewed by Grum every day.
Of course, to put it nicely, it is called mucus. To put it more directly, the so-called Grummu mucus is actually the excrement pulled out by the six-eyed flying fish from their body surface.
"There are now more than 300 Grumms being bred in the factory. They were all caught by Lapruk's warriors from the black pine forest east of the city. The amount of mucus they can produce every day is astonishing, enough to support Anto. Leah’s current demand for cement.”
As everyone walked, they came to the garden area in the middle of the “factory”.
How should I put it? The area of this flower garden is more than ten times the area of the lord's garden. It is filled with all kinds of wild flowers and weeds. In addition, it is spring now, and the air is filled with a scent of mixed flowers. smell.
In the sky above this vast flower garden, six-eyed flying fish, namely Gruum, were flying around freely in the flower garden.
Whether it is for the Antorians or Grum, the slime factory in front of them is excellent.
The Antolian people need to use Grum's slime to prepare cement, and Grum is also happy to let these humans who can walk upright clean up the sticky excrement on their bodies.
For Antolia, this is a factory, but for Grum, this is a good place with food, accommodation and even retirement.
Therefore, the painting style of the "factory" in front of me is somewhat too warm.
When they saw Leon and his group walking into the flower garden, there were even a few chubby Grums flapping their short wings on their backs, buzzing up to them for help.
Refuse to post!
Leon quickly pushed away the closest Grom with his hands.
"According to what we have observed these days, groomphs are like bees and mainly feed on nectar, but at the same time, they can also eat pine needles on black pine trees." "So I considered transplanting some black pine trees after a while
. Plant so that when the cold winter comes this year, Groom's food supply will be difficult to guarantee."
Sherman elaborated on his future plans for the factory in front of him.
"Not bad!"
Leon nodded with satisfaction: "But the number of these Groms is not enough, we have to keep catching! As long as sufficient food supply can be ensured, the more Groms the better!" "Lord
Viscount Do you have any other plans?"
Hearing this, Sherman's face showed a hint of joy.
In today's Antolia, Grum's slime has only one use, and that is to make cement.
Obviously, cement is an important construction raw material, so Leon's words will naturally make Sherman have countless associations.
"Map!"
Leon waved his hand, and the guard behind him quickly picked up a roll of map and slowly unfolded it in front of Leon.
"From the Thorn Territory to the Southwest Highlands."
Leon gestured on the map with his finger: "I plan to build a road that can go back and forth between the two places, completely connecting the Thorn Territory and the Southwest Highlands." In
Lai According to Ang, convenient transportation is not only a good thing that is conducive to business exchanges, but also an aid that can effectively stabilize governance.
The biggest obstacle between the Thorn Territory and the Southwest Highlands is actually not the distance, but the dense forest running from north to south.
If a sufficiently solid road could be built, the journey that might have taken one or two days to reach could be shortened to less than half a day.
In this way, not only can the warm stones in the southwestern highlands and the red cordyceps on the other side of the mountains be transported to the Thorn Territory faster, but the communication between the two places will also be more convenient.
"Sherman will definitely serve with all his heart! Sherman will definitely live up to the expectations of the Viscount!"
After hearing Leon's request, Sherman immediately promised.
Although the bridge over the White Blade River has not yet been completed, the successful completion of the renovation plan for the old houses in the Thorn Territory has also released a large number of idle manpower. If roads are to be built, at least there will not be a problem in the supply of labor.
If you haven’t read enough to advance to the next round, it will be available the day after tomorrow
