Author: Half-wounded but not broken

Compared to lizardmen and blue-ringed murlocs, gray dwarves are far more civilized than they are.

Although these gray dwarves are now living a wandering life, due to the long lifespan of dwarves, it will take decades for the dwarves to not forget the craftsmanship engraved in their DNA.

When the gray dwarves join, Perenli's Demon Kingdom will undergo large-scale construction, and real planning will have to begin.

For example, how to divide urban areas, how to expand, how to arrange the location of important public facilities such as sewers, and how to build important departments such as education and medical care, etc.

——Just thinking about it makes me dizzy.

Perrenli really didn't know how to do urban planning. He took the time in the past two days to draw a few sketches, dividing streets and urban areas horizontally and vertically.

High EQ is said to be convenient for transportation and prevent people from getting lost, but in fact it has no sense of beauty at all.

Maybe we can let the gray dwarves come up with a plan. It feels like it should be more reliable than Pei Renli's inability to come up with a better plan.

So his design stayed at the sketching stage, and he used the free time to make magic items.

Since Ravna was not here, Perrenli had to do it himself. He first prepared the potions used to process the materials, and then took out the straw paper and made a sketch on it.

He has already produced two elite-level magic items, the Ring of Protection and the Shield Brooch, and has also made a bunch of experimental semi-magic items for the students to use to test their effects.

Pei Renli felt that he could try something more difficult and make excellent magic items.

Normally, alchemists would not do this. For a newcomer who has only been exposed to magic and alchemy for less than a year, it would be too ambitious to make excellent magic items.

Generally, after five years of being an alchemist and having accumulated enough experience and gold coins, you will start planning your first excellent work.

In order to ensure a success, it may be ten years before the actual action is taken. The preparation time is quite long, which is one of the reasons why magic items are expensive.

The reason why Pei Renli chose excellent level magic items is because for him, most of the elite level magic items are of little use. After all, he already has two perfect level items and one epic level item, which is really not worth looking at.

Up to the elite level.

In addition, Pei Renli has made a lot of money recently.

The alchemists are cautious because they have no money and the materials for making excellent magic items will not fall from the sky. They have to save them themselves.

Pei Renli is still relatively wealthy and can afford to spend two or three times, so he is now challenging the more difficult magic item production.

Of course, even so, he still had to make drafts and conduct a series of trials and experiments, which was also not something that could be completed in a day or two.

——Dong dong.

There was a polite knock on the door. Pei Renli looked at the draft he had just drawn. He was probably not satisfied, so he crumpled it into a ball.

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

He would knock on the door with a voice that was as gentle as possible, and it was probably Kaya. If it were Korra, she would have knocked a spinning bike on the door panel...

As the beautiful red color burst into view, the person who came was indeed Kaya as expected. She held two books and placed them on Pei Renli's table:

"Teacher Grace asked me to bring you the book."

Teacher Grace’s collection is really quite large. Although they are all lent to Pei Renli to look at, one after another, there is never the same one.

All of them were spell books from the Conjuration School, which made Pei Renli feel a little resentful. It would have been nice if there were protection and transformation schools, as he was in short supply of spells from these two schools recently.

As for why Teacher Grace didn’t come in person?

"Did she drink too much again?"

"yes……"

Kaya showed a miserable expression, wondering what she saw in the teacher's office.

Teacher Grace's life is like a moonlighting clan. At the beginning of the month, when the expenses are not long ago, she can make good wine and good food. By the middle of the month, the money may not be enough to spend, so it becomes cheap wine and cheese. By the end of the month,

I didn’t even have to drink, so I went to the student cafeteria to eat...

However, there is no drinking at the end of the month, which is also the most serious period for Teacher Grace. As long as you can ignore him scratching the wall because of his alcohol addiction, it will be fine.

It's just the beginning of the month, and it's the time when Teacher Grace is eating and drinking heavily. The miserable situation in the office...

Anyway, Pei Renli didn't want to go find her at this time.

"What is that?"

When Kaya entered the door, she was not attracted by the magic items Perenli was making. Instead, her attention was drawn away by a plate covered with gauze.

"Bean sprouts"

"Bean sprouts?"

"It's just soaking soybeans until they sprout. You can eat them as vegetables. Eve and Cora tasted them and said they were pretty good."

The school cafeteria is completely free and plentiful, so you really shouldn’t complain.

But Pei Renli still said that he had eaten enough stew all day long.

So Pei Renli asked Anna to get a bag of soybeans, soaked the bean sprouts in the dormitory, and blanch them in hot water when eating. Since there was no rice vinegar, Pei Renli used fruit vinegar instead. It tasted pretty good, and at least it could relieve the nausea.

In fact, Pei Renli hopes for soy sauce more than vinegar. As a northerner, life without soy sauce is really uncomfortable.

But as for soy sauce, he only knew that it was fermented from soybeans and had to be dried in the sun. As for how to make it specifically...

This is beyond the pale.

Of course, he doesn't do it all just to satisfy his mouth.

Using soaking bean sprouts as an excuse, Pei Renli legitimately got a big bag of soybeans. He certainly couldn't eat that much, and a large part of them was taken to the surroundings of the Falling Star Lake, where the fish and lizard people were going to study how to farm it.

Soybeans are known as the meat of the fields. They are very rich in protein and have the effect of fertilizing the fields. The most important thing is that soybeans have high yields and are relatively simple to plant. They are the first choice for novice farmers to enter the industry.

The understanding of soybeans in this world is still very simple. They only know to throw a handful of beans into stews or grind the beans into bean paste. It is disgusting to look at it, let alone eat it.

Pei Renli thinks that we should develop soy products, such as tofu.

The process of making tofu is not difficult. Even Pei Renli, who has lived in the city for a long time, knows that the raw materials are soy milk and gypsum or brine. As for the specific method of making it, I can try it later when the soybeans are harvested.

This thing may become a new profit point. It can be said that Pei Renli worked very hard for his kingdom.

Perhaps because she felt that the taste of bean sprouts was similar to that of bean paste, Kaya had no intention of trying it. Turning her head, she saw the two mahogany boxes placed by Pei Renli on the corner of the table.

Both boxes are decorated with gold rims, and the boxes alone look quite valuable.

"What's that?"

"The signet ring given by Brevoir and Orion is of little use."

The seal ring is a kind of decoration used to indicate the status of the nobility. Nobles above the earl also have a scepter.

The lowest signet ring material is brass, followed by silver, gold and platinum.

Perrenli is an honorary noble in both Brevar and Orion countries, and of course he has such a thing as a seal ring.

Brevoir is busy rebuilding, and it has only recently counted and compiled the honorary nobles into a book, and cast seal rings for distribution.

Orion finished the seal ring not long after the new king came to the throne, and after finishing a lot of things, the seal ring that Miaojie personally presented to Pei Renli was just a sample, and the actual ring had to be customized according to different owners.

Perhaps to show their importance, they even specially sent envoys to deliver the things, and the envoys from the two countries happened to arrive together.

Not only Perenli received the seal ring, but also Michelle, Elise and Varela on Brevo's side, and Anna, Cosette and Camille on Orion's side.

For this reason, the school specially summoned everyone in the school to issue seal rings in full view of the public. After all, this matter was quite honorable in the eyes of the principal.

When the two parties discovered that Pei Renli was on the list of seal rings, the two envoys looked at each other with expressions of "What's going on?"...

However, honorary nobility is something that sounds good but has no practical effect. At most, it means that you can freely enter and exit the palace by wearing a seal ring to show your identity. It has a higher social status and does not have any actual power or benefits.

For Perrenli, it doesn't matter whether he is a noble or not. What is important is that he has successfully established friendly relations with the management of the two neighboring countries.

Although we often hear about distant and close attacks, we have to analyze the specific situation. Once the Demon King shows too much aggression, he is likely to repeat the mistakes of the violent Demon King.

Brevoir and Demon King's City are only separated by the High Mountains, which can be said to be very close. Moreover, Perrenli has a plan in mind that requires Brevoir's cooperation.

The Orion Kingdom controls the important trade routes heading north. The newly succeeded prince Reina seems to be starting to implement the plan Perrenli mentioned before. According to businessmen, there are actually rumors that they are preparing to issue treasury bonds.

With good relations with these two countries, the trade routes in the Demon Kingdom can be guaranteed to be smooth, and the profitable products specially prepared by Pei Renli can also be sold.

The same is true for Mu Xing City. The smooth flow of sea routes can ensure sufficient supplies. Moreover, Pei Renli guessed that Mu Xing City is probably controlled by the bloodline of the God-killing Demon King Balam. Maybe they have something related to the real enemy.

clue.

The biggest problem is indeed the Republic of Tula.

Human supremacy is inherently opposed to the demon king Perenli, and his people are basically monsters. Moreover, this country has also shown a very high level of aggression.

Even in the magazines, there was already news that "there was another uprising in the Republic of Tula, but it was suppressed in time."

The Republic of Tula was founded on aggression and oppression of non-human races. The emergence of the tyrannical demon king forced it to stop its aggression and did not launch a foreign war for twenty years.

Since it cannot be exposed to the outside world, it can only continue to intensify its oppression of non-human races in the country. It would be strange if there is no uprising.

After twenty years of peace, it seems that the internal conflicts in the Republic of Tula have become too great to suppress. It all depends on when this powder keg will explode.

An aggressive neighbor is dangerous, but an uncertain and extremely unstable neighbor is even more dangerous.

Pei Renli wanted to know more about it in detail to see if there was any way to get involved so that he could benefit for himself, but the information was too little, so he was just watching eagerly, waiting for the situation to develop.

While building oneself up, plans on how to obtain intelligence more efficiently must also be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
