Chapter 277 Piggy Bear’s Magical Talent!

The Thorn Territory received its first snow since the beginning of winter.

The snowflakes falling from the sky were like pure white fluff floating in the air, falling rustlingly down, as if the whole world was shrouded in the vast snow, and the thorn collar was covered with a silver-white coat.

The cold winter wind howled by, causing the branches of the dead trees to tremble, and scattered clusters of white ice crystals like fine sand.

Leon just opened the study window.

Countless snowflakes rushed in.

The cold ice shards slapped on the face, and the fireplace behind him released a strong warmth.

"Haw!"

The little pig bear who had just woken up stretched and poked a furry head out of Leon's pocket.

This is the first snow it has seen since its birth.

The snow-white world outside the window made Arcas particularly curious.

It twisted its round body, climbed up to his shoulders along the seams on Leon's coat, and then grabbed Leon's collar excitedly: "Hey!"

"It's too cold, I don't want to go out."

Leon glanced at it helplessly.

"Chirp! Chirp!"

"Then go out by yourself and come back early."

Leon had no choice but to compromise: "Remember to wear clothes! Otherwise it will be indecent."

"Haw!"

Piggy Bear shouted excitedly.

After a while, a gap opened in the bronze door of the lord's castle, and a neatly dressed pig bear twisted out curiously.

On Arcas' head, he wore a small felt hat embroidered with blue stripes.

The sweater woven from elk and goose down fit just right on his body. It is warm and small. It also has the emblem of the Jimena family - a double-headed eagle pattern painted on it.

Piggy Bear cautiously took a step forward.

Then, the whole bear fell into the snow around the castle.

After a while, when it finally poked its head out from the snow-covered ground again, the whole bear turned white.

"Haw!"

The little piggy bear screamed excitedly, then raised its butt and ran towards the street.

Due to the snow, many outdoor activities had to be suspended.

For example, the construction site located in the southeast of the new city was temporarily suspended due to the heavy snow.

But in the Moon Velvet production workshop, the sound of mechanical collisions and the conversations of female workers could still be heard from time to time.

Piggy Bear pushed open a crack in the door and saw a familiar figure.

"Haw!"

It jumped forward excitedly.

"Oh! My God! It's Mr. Arcas of the Jimena family!"

Mrs. Mitchell couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

As the widow of an Antolian warrior, Mrs. Mitchell became the person in charge of the moon velvet production workshop under Leon's promotion since the moon velvet was born on the land of Antolia.

Mrs. Mitchell is very satisfied with this job.

Spinning, weaving.

This is what she loves.

If it can help supplement family income, that would be even better.

so……

Mrs. Mitchell has always been very grateful for the kindness of the young Marquis, which gave a woman like her a valuable job opportunity.

There wasn't much she could do to repay the Marquis.

The only thing he can do is to weave more moonlight velvet to earn more money for the Jimena family.

It is with this idea in mind that under Mrs. Mitchell's meticulous management, the output of Moon Velvet cannot be said to be increasing day by day, but it will also increase every month.

This is actually not the first time Acas has come to the moon velvet production workshop.

In the days since it broke out of its shell, it has turned almost all the land around the Thorn Territory.

As the property of the Jimena family closest to the lord's castle, Acas naturally became a frequent visitor here.

No matter what era, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, no one can resist a fluffy and round little pig bear.

Especially when this little pig bear is even the pet of his lord!

This allowed Mrs. Mitchell to find another way to repay the Marquis besides working hard.

Piggy Bear is the Marquis's pet.

Treating this little guy so well is also a feedback to the Marquis.

therefore……

Whenever Arcas comes to the moon velvet production workshop, he is warmly treated by the female textile workers.

Whoever has finished his work, or whoever finally has a break, will go and pet a handful of pigs and bears.

Although I didn’t dare to do it at first, but...

Looking at Arcas's excited expression, I knew it liked this feeling.

no way.

As the patriarch of the Jimena family and the Marquis of Antolia, Leon couldn't hold the piglet and bear around every day.

Of course, masturbating cannot be in vain.

after all……

That was Lord Arcas of the Jimena family.

If you want to scratch your head, you must at least prepare a few berries!

If you want a hug, at least give me a bite of white bread!

This is the bottom line for Arcas!

You know, it is a piggy bear with principles! It’s not something anyone can touch if they want to!

"Lord Arcas! This is today's berry!"

After finally finishing the new batch of moon velvet, Mrs. Mitchell finally took out a large handful of juicy wild fruits from the cloth bag on the side.

"Haw!"

Suddenly, Piggy Bear's face suddenly lit up.

Two paws hugged the berries and gnawed them, and from time to time a pair of hands stroked the head back and forth.

Leon told him that this is called performing arts without selling oneself, and it is part of the Jimena family's wealth recovery plan!

Arcas thought.

You know, the wages of the female workers must be paid by the Jimena family.

so……

The more Piggy Bear eats here, the less the lord's kitchen expenses will be, and the female workers can't help but spend part of their wages on Piggy Bear.

This is equivalent to using one penny to do two things!

Simply perfect!

…

After sending the mischievous Arcas out of the castle, and seeing the calm finally returning to the study, Leon sat down in front of the pig desk, pulled out a few pieces of brown paper from the side, and began to organize his thoughts.

Although Leon has always had high hopes for magic engineering, as the Marquis of Antolia, Leon did not have time and could not participate in every research on magic engineering to lead the mage apprentices to personally conquer a Another difficulty.

However, as a time traveler.

The experience from the previous life and the life experience he accumulated allowed him to think about many things that people of this era could not easily think of.

This……

This is what Leon considers to be his greatest confidence and wealth besides Golden Finger.

Such as magic element cannon, such as steam engine.

Many things can actually be made with the existence of magic and the exquisite skills of dwarf craftsmen.

It's just that due to the limitations of the times, they have never thought about some aspects.

Therefore, what Leon has to do is to become a leader and a vane, pointing out the right direction for the development of Antolia.

after all……

Even the common people of this era are just ignorant, not stupid.

If they can break through the shackles of ignorance, then one day, these people, who are considered dispensable by other nobles, will definitely bring an indelible shock to the nobles of this era.

"Antolia's magic engineering and potion science have begun to develop along the path I planned."

"but……"

"Ancient magic!"

Thinking of this, Leon couldn't help but frown.

The study of ancient magic has always been an area of ​​special concern for Antolian mages, including Leon.

If magic engineering and potion science are both applied disciplines, then ancient magic is undoubtedly the most important basic discipline.

It is precisely for this reason that in the Antolia Higher Magic Academy, which is under preparation, there are four major departments in the preliminary plan.

In addition to the School of Magic Engineering and the School of Potions, there are also two major departments: the School of Ancient Magic and the School of Continuing Education.

The School of Continuing Education is a hodgepodge of mages from outside Antolia.

The Ancient Magic Academy naturally has to shoulder the important task of studying ancient magic.

Regarding ancient magic, Leon has always had his own thoughts and ideas in his heart.

You know, the original magic of this world was engraved on the stone slabs through runes.

The ancestors thousands of years ago relied on those stone slabs with magical power to create the glorious history of Agares.

It wasn't until the archmage Saruman transformed the runes into spells and the magic spells chanted by the mages that they came into being.

And now...

Although Leon currently does not have even a slate in his hand, he always has an idea in his heart.

That is to engrave the magic again!

This is not like magic engineering, which uses the principles of magic to develop technology, and then uses technology to feed back Antoria.

Instead, the attack magic is engraved on some kind of carrier that is easy to carry, such as a card!

In this way, the mages will not have to chant long and complicated spells when they fight again, but can just play magic cards one by one!

Yes, Leon does not think that chanting spells is the only direction for the development of magic.

Chanting spells is just a way of fighting.

Or……

It is the combat method chosen by the Archmage Saruman thousands of years ago.

Leon hopes to regain ancient magic and open up a new magical path.

If mages can draw different magic cards through the runes on the stone slabs, then they may be able to bring new changes to the path of magic!

after all……

Even though the magic spells have been simplified and modified countless times, the time to chant magic is still too long, so that the strength that the mage can exert on the battlefield can be said to be greatly reduced.

Of course, this is just an idea and an expectation of Leon.

Compared with these long-term and ambitious plans, what Leon needs to do most now is planning for next year.

"In the field of magic engineering, the application of moon spring water may be able to improve Antolia's medical conditions, and the popularization of enchanted weapons can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Antolia army..."

Leon was thinking while writing and drawing on the brown paper in front of him.

"The development of the northern area of ​​the Abandoned Land will be a top priority."

"The literacy classes must also be expanded. At least those civilian apprentices who are about to enter the Antolia High School of Magic must not be unable to read all the words."

"There is also the agreement signed with Prince Mendez. I don't know when the old king of the Idrit Kingdom will die..."

While thinking about it, Leon was concentrating on writing when he heard a bang and a stone fruit as big as an apple hit Leon's desk.

Leon raised his head and saw Arcas with his paws on his hips, looking at him angrily.

It has been back for a while.

In the city of Thorn Territory, it first played in the moonlight velvet production workshop for a long time, and then went out to build a few snowmen, chased snowflakes for a while, and stole a few white pieces under the watchful eye of the bakery owner. bread.

It wasn't until the sun set in the west that the evening sun shone on the snow-covered snow. Tired from playing, Arcas reluctantly returned to the lord's castle in the old city of the Thorn Territory.

result……

Leon actually ignored it!

Leon, who was concentrating on planning the future of Antolia, was completely unaware of the arrival of the piggy bear, so that Arcas jumped under the table for a while, but failed to attract Leon's attention.

Leon looked at Arcas calmly.

After a while, she finally picked up the stone fruit on the table.

Due to the special role of stone fruit cores in the production process of magic element cannons, Leon had officially listed stone fruits growing in the abandoned land as a controlled item a few days ago.

Not only will the people coming and going be strictly inspected at the Bergori Pass, but even the stone fruits supplied to the Antolian arms factory will be subject to strict statistics and quantity restrictions.

so……

Where did the stone fruit in Piggy Bear's hand come from?

"Where did it come from?!"

Leon looked at Piggy Bear extremely seriously.

"Haw!"

"No changing the topic or being cute!"

Looking at the aggrieved Piggy Bear, Leon remained unmoved at all.

"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!"

"Did I give it to you?"

Leon couldn't help being stunned when he heard the answer given by Piggy Bear.

"Haw!"

Hearing this, Piggy Bear nodded obediently.

"When? Last month? When you broke out of your shell?"

Hearing this, Leon remembered that when the little piggy bear had just hatched out of its shell, in order to determine the piggy bear's recipe, he took a lot of things and placed them in front of the little piggy bear.

And among them, there are stone fruits from the abandoned land.

However, because at that time, the role of stone fruit had not yet been discovered, so Leon did not care.

While talking, the little pig bear stretched out its chubby paws.

In an instant, stone fruits jumped out from the little pig bear's claws and scattered on the floor of the study.

at this moment……

Leon couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Because he seemed to realize what kind of magical talent the Warcraft cub he obtained had.

Space magic!
