229, Burning cement thanks to Wei Ting's monthly pass
"Knowledge?"
William, the butler, was very puzzled.
But considering that Khadgar is a magician, it's relieved. Magicians do like this.
Khadgar nodded: "Yes, it's knowledge. The River Family has lasted for more than 200 years, and there must be a lot of precious books. I want to see them. Of course, I will tell you all the information about River Beach Town!"
"Okay, deal!"
Butler William immediately agreed and stood up to shake Khadgar's hand.
No one has entered the room where the books are stored in the Wolf King's Castle for several years. It doesn't matter if Khadgar goes to take a look, as long as he keeps an eye on it and doesn't let him take the books away.
There is no need to tell the master about this matter, William can make the decision himself.
"Then let's go now, I can't wait to learn new knowledge!"
Khadgar showed an impatient expression, as if Lucio had met delicious food.
"Isn't it... too late now?" William, the butler, wanted to refuse: "Besides, we haven't eaten yet!"
"What's so delicious about the meal? Or do you still not believe my sincerity? Then let me tell you a secret first! Windsor, do you still remember?"
"Of course I remember." Butler William nodded:
"The two people that I will never forget the most are Tini and him."
"Wendsor is a Silver-level warrior." Khadgar said directly.
"What?!!"
Upon hearing Khadgar's words, the butler William was shocked and the tea cup in front of him was knocked to the ground.
...
...
After Khadgar and the butler William finished trading information, William took him to the Golden Wolf King's Castle.
At the same time, Sean was waiting outside the stone house for the first batch of cement to come out.
Ordinary wooden houses cannot withstand the high temperature of cement firing, but stone houses can.
In order to give the secret keeper Kyle a clear temperature target, Sean also found an iron block from the dwarf and placed it in the stone house.
As long as the temperature is high enough to melt the iron, the slurry on the ground (mixed with limestone particles, clay, and iron powder, then mixed with water) can be fired into cement.
The fire inside the house was burning brightly. Fortunately, Sean got rid of the nearby residents in advance, so it didn't cause any commotion.
But after a while, Sean suddenly heard Kyle's voice coming from the stone house:
"Sir, no! I think the temperature may not be enough!"
Sean hurriedly responded to Kyle outside:
"Is the temperature just a little different or a lot different?"
If the temperature is a little worse, there is still a way to remedy it, but if it is a lot worse, it can only bring [Flame Imp] Levi Anson back.
"It's still a little short of making the iron melt." Karl replied.
"That'll be easy!"
Sean opened the system and entered the [Item Library]. Now there is only one [Black Iron Emblem] left in the [Item Library].
Sean did not hesitate and directly used the [Black Iron Emblem] on Kyle.
A golden light fell from the sky, and Kyle was immediately raised from level 13 to level 14, and the flames suddenly burned even brighter.
"Sir, the temperature is enough now!" Kyle said happily.
Sean nodded and stood outside to continue waiting.
...
After about tens of minutes, the flames coming out of the window gradually extinguished, and it seemed that the firing was complete.
Kyle also opened the door of the stone house and walked out.
Kyle looks very tired now, and there is a lot of dust on his face and body. Although the dust generated by the fired cement is low, the hot air will still bring up the dust during the calcination.
And it must be very hard for Kyle to continue to activate magic power for such a long time in such a high temperature environment.
So Sean hurriedly used magic to condense the water element in the air into a big water ball and placed it in front of Kyle. At the same time, he also handed over the soap he had just produced:
"Karl, thank you for your hard work! Wash your face quickly!"
"Thank you!" Kyle took the soap and said while washing it:
"Sir, the mud has turned into gray powder. But my magic power is almost exhausted now, so I may not be able to produce a lot of this gray powder."
"It's okay!" Sean smiled:
"Tonight I will promote you to the middle bronze level, so the problem will be solved!"
Kyle: "..."
If it reaches the bronze intermediate level, this temperature is indeed easy to maintain, and there will be no problem in burning cement for a whole day.
But Elune is above all, will she have to spend the rest of her life in a stone house?
Kyle suddenly felt that his life was dark.
Sean saw Kyle's worry, patted her shoulder and comforted her:
"Don't think too much. I will find a way to develop a calciner in a few days. After all, cement is something that needs to be mass-produced. You will be relieved the day the calciner is successful!"
Sean said as he walked into the stone house.
…
The temperature in the room was still very high now, so Sean held up a water shield to keep out the hot air.
Sean grabbed a handful of ash powder on the ground and touched it. This is the fired clinker, which can be used after being mixed with river sand.
However, the specific quality has to be tested before we know it, so Sean poked his head out of the stone house and said to Windsor:
"Wendsor, run fast and get some river sand."
"OK!"
After Windsor finished speaking, he ran towards the Morning Star River in the east.
Anduin asked with concern: "Sir, has the refining been successful?"
"That's right!" Sean nodded:
"But we won't know the specific quality until tomorrow. Anduin, you go back to your work first! Remember to promote the 'encouraging childbirth policy' and recruitment we just agreed on."
Both of these matters were discussed and decided by Sean and Anduin on the way to the Stone House.
The policy of encouraging childbirth means that if a couple has many children, the Hetan Town Government will give them a lot of subsidies.
Of course, the reason for recruiting workers is because now that soap and cement have become available, a large number of workers are needed to make money and build.
"No problem, sir!"
After Anduin finished speaking, he used [Feather of Heaven] and rushed towards the north of the town.
But Anduin had just taken two steps when Sean's voice came from behind him:
"One more thing, remember that at 9 o'clock tonight, everyone will have a meeting in the castle conference room!"
"Okay, sir!"
Anduin turned around and said something, and then continued to rush towards the north of the town.
...
Not long after Anduin left, Windsor returned, bringing a bucket of wet river sand with him.
Sean used magic to drain the water from the river sand, and mixed the clinker and river sand just cooked at a ratio of 3:1.
Then, Sean removed two useless stone tiles from the stone roof and applied cement in the middle of the two stone tiles to glue them together.
Windsor had been watching Sean playing with the cement and asked curiously:
"Sir, is this thing useful?"
Sean nodded: "It should be easy to use, but the cement will have to solidify until tomorrow, so let's go back to the castle first!"
Sean locked the stone house and sent a Silver Hand recruit to guard it.
Chapter completed!
