Seeing that the lord was slow to speak, the mine head thought that Owen was dissatisfied with Huck's age, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Lord Marquis, do you remember the cave collapse that happened here two years ago?
”"There's such a thing, what's wrong?"
Owen asked.After that collapse, Huck's father went into the mine to save people, only to encounter a second collapse and break a leg from a boulder.Now, Huck and his family rely on Huck's work to make ends meet, which is not easy. ”The mine head chose to expose Huck's father's deeds in order to impress the lord, and then decided to train Huck.In this way, Huck was able to do the relatively easy task of operating a steam engine.The collapse of the mine did happen, but the mine still had something to hide.At that time, he and Huck's father ventured in to save people, and when the second collapse occurred, it was Huck's father who pushed him from behind to save him.As a result, the head of the mine is very grateful to Huck's father, which is why he favors Huck so much.With such an obvious protection, Owen could naturally see it, and he also heard the meaning of the mine head's words, so he shook his head helplessly and smiled."
Alright, I see, I'll train Huck to operate a steam engine.""
Hurry up and thank Lord Marquis!"
The mine head happily poked Huck with his elbow, "Remember to study hard." ”Huck snorted a spirit, and hurriedly grateful, "Thank you, Lord Marquis!"
”Anyway, operating this steam engine is very simple, as long as it is not too stupid, you should be able to learn to use it.So, Owen didn't care who the mine head picked.After only one lesson, Huck was able to operate it on his own.Owen then explained to him in detail how to start and shut down the steam engine, how to maintain it, and so on.When Huck thinks he has memorized the point, Owen tests it verbally on the spot.After passing the test, Owen turned off the cooling steam engine and let him do it again.After a series of rigorous assessments, Owen was relieved to hand over the first steam engine to Huck to manage, otherwise he was really worried that he would blow up the machine.Watching Huck operate the steam engine to pull the baskets for the miners, the mine head couldn't help but sigh: "The efficiency has really improved a lot, if only this big guy could help get the water out of the depths of the mine." ”"Yes."
Now that they have heard it, Owen must respond to the other party's expectations.In fact, the design drawings of the pumping steam engine had long been handed over to Geeta.At that time, he held the drawings and said excitedly that he would definitely build the required parts with high quality.The task was also taken over by the three blacksmiths, but almost all of the high-standard components were taken over by Geeta alone.I don't know if he is too confident or too arrogant, in short, time will tell."
It's just that the steam engine for pumping water has just begun to be built, and it will take some time before it arrives to you."
Owen added."
Really?
That's just great!
This allows us to mine deeper into the mine, where the ore is larger and of better quality, and the ore production that runs through the mine will continue to grow. ”After listening to the lord's words, the mine head was very excited, and they all began to describe the future events excitedly.…… In the days that follow, Owen plans to teach Fanny and Garcia the essentials of the Flame Spray, and train them to become the next batch of magical welders.Among them, Fanny originally planned to help, and she had signed a contract with Owen, so she must have learned.And Garcia is currently an adventurer who accepts the commission, and if he suddenly wants to do something that does not conform to the content of the commission, according to the rules of the adventurer's guild, he can refuse.Even if he wanted to stay in Frontiertown, Owen would have to ask him if he wanted to.As a result, he called someone to the study and asked, and the other party not only agreed, but was also quite interested in Owen's new magic.In order to give Fanny and Garcia extra magic to practice, Owen reduced their workload in the cement workshop and invited Garcia to practice the new magic in the castle courtyard.Surprisingly, Garcia was the first to learn how to breathe flames, much to Fanny's devastation.Looking at the flames on Garcia's fingertips, Owen gave a thumbs up without hesitation: "That's right, I have mastered the essentials so quickly, and I deserve to be a seasoned silver-level adventurer." ”"Don't dare, Lord Marquis."
Retracting the magic, Garcia's attitude was somewhat humble.After all, Owen is the lord of Frontier Town, and it is always right to be cautious."
I'll be able to do it right away!"
The puffed Fanny squeezed the fireball again, but unfortunately it exploded again when the volume was reduced by a third."
How can it be ......," she hung her head sadly.In this regard, Owen could only comfort him: "Don't worry, practice slowly, you will master it." ”"You have to practice slowly, so why did Uncle Garcia learn it so quickly?"
Fanny pursed her lips unpleasantly.Owen turned to look at Garcia.To be honest, even if he pointed out, he felt that Garcia learned a little fast, if it wasn't for his strong understanding, there must be a reason."
Well."
Garcia scratched his hair embarrassedly, "Maybe it has something to do with my lack of magical power." ”"What do you mean by that?"
What does the lack of magic power have to do with the rapid acquisition of high-temperature flames?
Owen didn't quite understand.Fanny was also curious and awaited Uncle Garcia's explanation."
I once delved into a new kind of magic called 'Burst of Fire'......"
It turns out that Garcia likes to delve into some magic that consumes less mana and is more powerful because he doesn't have a lot of magic power.He had created a spell called "Burst of Fire", which made him famous in the Adventurers' Guild for a while.Burst of flame, in fact, is a variant of the fireball technique.The principle is to compress the volume of the fireball, and then throw it, and the fireball will explode after flying a certain distance.The same is done with the compression technique, but the degree of compression of the Flame Burst is not as high as that of the High Temperature Flame.It's no wonder Garcia was able to learn how to spray a high-temperature flame so quickly, it turns out that he has already mastered a certain compression technique."
Oh!
No wonder, it turns out that Uncle Garcia cheated on him!
”Fanny said suddenly.Hearing this, Owen couldn't cry or laugh, that was a skill that Garcia had painstakingly studied and mastered before, how could it be considered cheating?
You can't ask everyone to get a starting line with you, it's impossible.However, Garcia's account of these experiences gave Owen some thoughts.That is, most mages like to delve into powerful attack magic to strengthen themselves, and do not like to create magic for production and life, at most develop some auxiliary magic that can increase the advantage in battle.Strengthening itself is not a bad thing, but it is a pity that it is a shame that it has blinded the enormous potential of magic in production.Didn't Winster say that too?
In this world, magic is the primary productive force.…… After a few more days, the weather got colder and colder, and Owen wore more warm clothes.At this time, he was staying in his study to work on some papers.Knock knock!
At this time, a guard hurriedly knocked on the door, walked into the study, and stroked his chest and saluted."
Lord Marquis, there is a ship from the Dongsheng Fortress that is about to arrive at the docks of Frontier Town.""
Isn't it normal that we have trade with Dongsheng Fortress and have ships coming?"
Owen didn't lift his head and continued to work on the papers at hand."
That ship was no ordinary merchant ship, it had a flag on it with the coat of arms of the Duke Eddie's family.""
Oh?"
Hearing this, the quill in Owen's hand stopped.
