"Haha, you must not be too surprised by your Excellency Tilion."

Owen smiled and said, "In fact, the first steam engine was built last fall. So far, the steam engine can only be seen in Bianshu Town and has not been widely used."

"Even so, that's enough to shock us dwarves."

Tilion stared at the steam boring machine at work, and was already trying to disassemble the machine in his mind.

"I can see that steam engines have huge potential, not only for drilling, but also for application in many fields."

"You are right, Mr. Tilion," Owen agreed. "We have used steam engines in the mine to pull the mine, pump water, and load it onto the ship to create a cargo ship that can sail without sailing."

"Oh-the steam engine is so wonderful!"

Tilion couldn't help but sigh, then turned to look at Owen and asked, "Can you design it too?"

"That's right."

"Wow! Marquis Eisen, you are really an amazing human." Tilion really admires Irving more and more. "If you are a citizen of the Kingdom of Fermit Kon, you will definitely be rewarded by the king himself, which is the highest honor of our dwarves."

"That's of course!"

Hearing this, Mapel, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but look up and his chest raised, his face full of pride, happier than being praised.

"Mr. Owen is extremely intelligent, invented and created many magical new things, and saved the border town in dire straits. Now he is widely respected by the people and is regarded as the savior sent by the gods."

"Cough cough." Owen coughed falsely.

Even he blushed when he heard this scattered praise.

"It's not that exaggerating."

"No exaggeration!" Mapel insisted on his statement, "I am just stating the facts."

"Mapel is right, I think so too." Teresa agreed with a smile.

On the other side, Tillion was still observing the steam boring machine.

Although he wanted to get closer and study the structure of the steam engine more carefully, he knew very well that this machine used boiled water as a power, and the white steam coming out should be water steam, which must be very hot, and the warning sign also said "Don't get close."

However, since this is a military factory that produces muskets, there must be a place to produce steam engines, where you can thoroughly understand the structure of the steam engine.

Thinking of this, Tillion couldn't wait to send a new request to Irving.

"Marquis Eisen, I wonder if I can take me to visit the place where the steam engine is made?"

"Sorry, Lord Tilion, that's not possible." Owen shook his head and refused.

It doesn't matter that he allowed Tilion to visit the military factory that made new muskets. He didn't know the black powder formula for firing bullets, so he just pretended to be a show of goodwill.

But the steam engine is different. If Tillion understands the structure of the steam engine, Irving will lose a card that can be used in his hand.

"How can I go and visit me? Marquis Eisen, I am willing to do anything!"

If he couldn't visit the steam engine factory, Tillion would definitely not even sleep. His mind was full of steam engines.

At this time, it was Sally's turn to appear. She specially accompanied Tillion to prevent this from happening.

"Telion, since Marquis Eisen does not allow it, then forget it. If you force it like this, it will only make the other party feel difficult."

"Sally, you don't understand." Tilion said emotionally, "The steam engine is definitely an epoch-making machine. If it were available, our progress in building Nou will accelerate a lot, and there will be huge changes in all aspects."

"Don't argue with you two."

Owen intervened in time and interrupted: "It's not completely impossible to visit the steam engine factory, but it's just going to do it in another form."

"What form?" Tilion asked anxiously.

With his lips raised, Owen immediately expressed his intention to cooperate: "I want to meet with the lord or representative of the new underground city of Noir. As long as the two parties can successfully establish a cooperative relationship, I will allow you Noir to send a team of craftsmen to our border town to communicate and learn from each other."

There is an extremely shortage of craftsmen in the Bianjun Town. If I can take this opportunity to attract a group of dwarf craftsmen to stay, Irving will naturally be unable to seek it.

In addition, the dwarves also have rich experience in surveillance of ore veins, which allows them to help find out whether there are new ore veins in the two mountains of the stratosphere.

"That's all right." Tilion suddenly felt energetic, "I will go back to Noo to find our Lord Lord, and I will convince him to send someone to establish diplomatic relations."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out, preparing to set off now.

"Hello!"

Sally called out Tilion, put his hands on his waist, as if he was a little angry.

"Why are you so anxious? You will leave the same day. Aren't you tired?"

"Ms. Sally is right." Owen also said, "You have been tired and tired after following the transportation team to Bianjun Town. Now it's getting late. Why not stay and rest for a night before leaving?"

"Oh well."

Tilion didn't dare to make Sally angry, so he nodded in agreement.

...

Dongsheng Fortress.

Duke Eddie is very angry now. The letter has been sent for so long, but Marquis Eisen has not even sent a reply.

Although he did not expect this letter to deceive Marquis Eisen, the other party's attitude was completely unhappy.

However, in this way, Duke Eddie could send troops to capture the border town on the grounds that Marquis Eisen ignored the king's orders and captured him.

Originally, Duke Eddie had many means to force him, and even destroyed the border town.

For example, block the river channel leading to Bianjun Town.

Isn’t the border town unable to be self-sufficient in food? Blocking the river channels means cutting off their food channels. Within a year, the other party will still surrender to themselves?

But now it is not possible. White has clearly asked Duke Eddie to bring Irving Eisen to the capital before the throne ceremony this summer.

There is not much time left now, so it may be too late to arrest Marquis Eisen if you don’t.

Therefore, Duke Eddie could only dispatch troops to complete the tasks assigned by White by force.

The small border town is definitely not an opponent of Dongsheng Fortress. Even if the opponent has any new weapons, it cannot reverse the situation. Duke Eddie is quite confident about this.

When they learned about this, the nobles who fled the border town and went south to the fortress to take refuge last year were extremely excited.

Before this, Duke Eddie was busy competing for the throne and ignored them.
