"Wendsor, is Olga in town now?" Sean asked.

Windsor shook his head: "No. Olga has been stationed near the magic crystal mine and saltpeter mine. He will not come back easily unless necessary."

"The conditions there are terrible. It's really hard on him." Sean nodded: "Tell Conte later that the rewards given to the Flame Cross Mercenary Group must be sufficient! No rewards can be deducted."

"Yes, my lord." Windsor replied.

The two walked out of the plantation as they talked.

…

The Blood Swamp Velociraptor sensed Sean's call and rushed to the gate of the plantation.

Sean stroked Xiaohong's huge head and said to Windsor: "Who else is in the Flame Cross Mercenary Group?"

Windsor thought for a while and replied: "Sofia returned to Hetan Town last night and should not have left today."

"That's okay! Please help me call Sophia, and ask her to take the mercenary group to carry two large bags of saltpeter to the Craftsmen's Association, and we will meet there."

"Okay, sir."

Windsor didn't ask why, mounted his horse and headed towards the station of the Blazing Cross Mercenary Group.

...

Five minutes later, Sean rode the Blood Swamp Velociraptor and arrived outside the Zhenxi Craftsmen Association.

The Craftsman's Guild is located in the middle of the castle and the administrative hall in the center of the town. It used to be the reception area for nobles, and there are small villas where the Viscount of the Lakes used to entertain distinguished guests.

There is a huge green space in front of the villa, and there is even a horse farm at the end of the green space for the Viscount to ride horses for fun when he is bored.

Later, Riverbank Town was owned by Sean, and part of the villa here was given by Sean to the dwarf master Bart Stormpike and his subordinate dwarf blacksmiths.

[Armorsmith] Lucy and [Swordsmith] Hansen also moved in one after another, followed by [Shrinking Ray Engineer] Occam Sparks, [Mad Scientist] Musoni and the President of the Craftsmen Guild [Shadow Jeweler Hanna]

you】.

As members of the Craftsmen Association moved in, it gradually developed into the official residence of the Craftsmen Association.

Later, craftsmen recruited a large number of apprentices in Hetan Town.

The apprentices' salary during the internship period is only 4 gold coins/month, which is as high as that of soap workers. After becoming regular workers, their wages are as high as 6-8 gold coins/month, making them the highest paid group in Hetan Town.

In addition, the lord also came to "visit" every three days, and this place quickly became a holy place that the residents of Hetan Town longed for.

…

Sean got off the back of the Blood Swamp Velociraptor, patted its neck, and let it return to the castle on its own.

Sean stepped into the Artisans Guild.

The apprentice craftsmen who came and went excitedly knelt down to Sean when they saw Sean. [Crazy Scientist] Musoni also walked out of the villa and saluted Sean: "Sir, you are welcome!"

Sean nodded, and then asked: "Musoni, you are the only one? Where are Occam Sparks and Hanner?"

"Oh, the president was experimenting with new magic crystal shells in the military camp, and Occam and White Bronzebeard went to a place about 20 kilometers west of Thorn Ridge. According to book records, someone once discovered a black powder there.

It can burn when exposed to fire, so it could be a coal mine."

"Coal mine? We need to pay attention to this!" Sean's eyes lit up.

Coal is the food of industry, and Sean has been worried about not finding a coal mine before. If Occam and his two men can really discover a coal mine, it will definitely be the best news for the territory!

"Sir, is there anything you need my help with? If not, I would like to leave first. I am conducting an important experiment..." Musoni said with some embarrassment.

"I, then Musoni, go and do your work, don't worry about me." Sean waved his hand: "I will go to the laboratory to make some small things later, and I will leave later."

"Okay, sir!" Musoni saluted Sean again, and then walked towards his own laboratory on the east side.

.......

Sean did not go directly to his laboratory, but stood in front of the door and waited.

About two minutes later, the sound of horse hooves was heard from the east, and Windsor rode his horse to join Sean.

"Sir, Sofia has brought the saltpeter here with the mercenaries. They will be there soon... But then again, what do you plan to use the saltpeter for? A new type of explosive?" Windsor asked.

Sean smiled and shook his head: "Wendsor, do you remember the ice cream made by the dwarf?"

"Of course I remember." Windsor nodded: "There is a dwarf vendor selling ice cream at the gate of Stormwind City. Not only do children love to eat it, but many adults will also buy some in the summer... Unfortunately, there are no dwarves in this world.

Of course there is no ice cream."

Windsor's voice was full of regret.

"Don't worry! There will be ice cream!" Sean smiled confidently: "I asked Sophia to send saltpeter over, just to make ice cream."

"That's great!" Windsor looked at the saltpeter bags carried by the two mercenaries on the east side of the road with burning eyes: "Could it be said that ice cream is made of saltpeter?"

"Of course not." Sean waved his hand: "Just wait and watch me make it. You go and call the two Silver Hand recruits over. Our ice cream making will start now."

"OK!"

After Windsor answered, he went to the direction of the castle.

...

Sofia came over with two mercenaries. When she saw Sean, she happily ran over and hugged Sean's arm: "Your Highness Sean, we haven't seen each other for three days. Why did you call me here this time?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal." Sean winked at the two mercenaries. The mercenaries understood and immediately put down the bag of saltpeter and left.

Sean rubbed Sophia's head with his other hand and whispered:

"How is the mining of the magic crystal mine going recently?"

Sophia looked around and replied in a low voice:

"Currently, the magic crystal mine has only developed its periphery, but bronze-level magic crystals have been discovered on the periphery. According to my father's estimation, the magic crystal in the center of the magic crystal mine can reach the sky level!"

"Really?" Sean said in surprise: "The center is a sky-level magic crystal. This has probably reached the scale of a medium-sized magic crystal mine!"

"That's right." Sophia nodded: "It's a lot worse than the large magic crystal mine in College Town, but it must have reached the size of a medium-sized magic crystal mine. Sir, you can open a magic academy there!"

The energy spilled from small magic crystal mines is not enough to support a magic academy, but medium-sized magic crystal mines can. Many magic academies in the Principality of Lane are located next to medium-sized magic crystal mines.

However, Sean did not let this huge good news get to his head, and said: "There is no rush, I will go to the magic crystal mine tomorrow to have a look. What we need to do now is to make the ice cubes first."
