Starry Sky of the Magic Tower

Lin greeted the two nobles in front of him with magician etiquette. After all, in other people’s territory, and the other party’s attitude seems to be friendly, there is no need to insist on making the other party an enemy.

After the introduction of the white sword saint William Greco, Engels Baron kindly invited the Lin entire group to dinner, including the silver-bearded dwarf and two apprentices who are seen as entourages by others. At this time, Fern slowly used the normal magician method to cast the magic of floating technique, slowly moved to the big ship, and came behind someone.

There is also a crying and following, screaming desperately in other people’s minds. Although he kept the promise of not speaking in front of others, it was even more unbearable to be bombarded in his head. Fortunately, the same remote location procedure as the Spy’s Eye had been done before, and once it flashed, he held the box cutter in his hand again.

The weapon that appeared suddenly, of course, caused a commotion among Baron’s guards. Lin had to explain: “Don’t worry, don’t worry, this is just a cane, it won’t hurt people.” By the way, he wiped the blade with his hand and showed that he was innocent, and only then did the conscientious bodyguards feel relieved a little.

The banquet belonging to the nobles hasn’t started yet, everyone first relax and chat in the reception room on this big ship. Only then did William Greco talk about the process of searching for rice wine by himself.

After leaving the Wadvor tribe, William Greco did not rush around like a headless fly, but directly asked for possible clues through his contacts. But there is no news about’rice’.

As an excellent cargo transportation channel, the Golden Waterway will of course also have all kinds of commercial news and gossips flowing in it. It also became one of William’s ways to find rice.

In every river port city, he exerted his influence, or found some well-informed organizations to find the existence or news of rice, but he found nothing.

Until he remembered a friend on this golden waterway, Baron who had the same name as him. The other party is not only the grand duke’s son-in-law of Vader’s military state, but also married a wife who is very versatile and very capable.

Nguyen Thi Hui, a descendant of the royal family of a certain kingdom in the once lost land of Northeast China. That kingdom was established more than two hundred years ago and was destroyed more than one hundred years ago. Only three kings have been passed down. This is a normal state in the chaotic area in the northeast of Midi. Even today, the country is still being built and destroyed.

After understanding the background of that area, you will be surprised by this phenomenon.

Midi has many Homo sapiens races with different appearances, unlike Earth, which only differs in skin color. Moreover, the Homo sapiens with the largest number of mazes and the strongest overall strength are undoubtedly’human beings’. What about the other Homo sapiens?

Also, how many Homo sapiens other than humans have a way to establish and protect their own country under the auspices of the Human Kingdom, just like the elven Kingdom of Peyat Jaime?

If they join the human kingdom, can they get equal status?

Conclusion, Homo sapiens races other than overwhelming majority humans have all been driven to a corner of the maze of the continent-the northeast. In this chaotic place, humans no longer have the advantage. Anytime, anywhere, there will be people who gain most of the support and build a country; and because other people who do not support rebel, they lose the country.

After all, different races have different beliefs, different living habits, and even different taboos. These are not problems that can be solved by anyone who cooperates, telling murlocs to live in the desert, dwarves to farm, elves to mine, and halflings to live on cold mountains… Maybe these are extreme examples, but in reality As long as there is a little bit of unsuccessfulness, it may lead to rebellion.

It’s just that the rebellion is not called a rebellion in that chaotic place, it is called’different ambitions’. Countless races are there, uniting for profit, opposing for profit, and loyalty is an out-and-out luxury in that piece of land.

Such an environment is both a crisis and an opportunity. Nguyen’s ancestors should have established a country in such an opportunity, and then perished for some reason.

It’s just that they chose to spread the branches and leaves before the country’s subjugation, and take the accumulated strength to other countries, instead of placing all bets on the small kingdoms they built. Although at first, this approach is just to win the support of other countries, thereby consolidating their own kingdom. But after that misfortune, such an approach turned out to be the biggest reason for retaining their family’s strength and surviving.

Maybe the country backed by it has died, but the people who survived became the royal family. In terms of status, even if there is no title, it is enough to run wild in the circle of nobility.

In terms of strength, the wealth accumulated by the Nguyen family should not be underestimated. Used to establish private soldiers, defend their position before other nobles, and use money to overcome obstacles.

In addition, clansman of different branches has allegiance to different countries and obtained real power titles and territories in that country. And clansman, because of the bloodline link, connects these different countries, becoming a bridge of communication between countries, or a medium for plot against.

In short, in a small chat with Engels Baron, his wife, and the white sword saint, someone saw the prototype of a large multinational corporation, waiting for the small country of the idle city to be controlled by them in turn.

Just one or two hundred years is not enough to make this patriarch a dinosaur. The range of their radiation occupies only a small part of the entire maze. For those truly big countries, this family is still worthless.

The foundation of the Nguyen family is some industries that have never existed before, or have not paid attention to. Especially food! They master many special crops, but grain seeds and planting techniques are only circulated in a small area.

…It’s all about this, their ancestors weren’t the seniors, and someone really didn’t believe it.

The combination of Nguyen Thi Hui and William Engels, in addition to their mutual affection, is also a combination of wealth and power in the two families behind them.

It is like the battleship that everyone is riding now. It was the Grand Duke Engels, who sold the first-line battleship of the empire, which had been’eliminated’ because of being’backward’ in half a year, to his own son. The cost of buying the ship is paid from Nguyen Thi Hui’s dowry.

Apart from this, also established a fleet for trading. Leaning on the banner of the unicorn, there is no disadvantage in the golden waterway. These expenses are of course the expenses of the Nguyen family. Then the nobles of the military state collected taxes and Nguyen made money while also strengthening his influence.

Leave aside the plot against behind these for the time being. For a certain white sword saint and a certain magician, the focus is on the rice Nguyen Thi Hui brought, and it is also rice.

Because of the huge differences in planting methods, rice is not very popular in Midi. And some extended products, of course, will not come out. Maybe it is because there are too many choices that make them feel that they don’t have to do some thankless things and push hard to sell things that are not yet accepted by the world. Or… the other party really doesn’t know it can be used like this?

All kinds of mysteries, it’s hard to dig into the woman in front of you.

After all, I know from the words that Nguyen Thi Hui is a branch of their family and is far from a direct line. The reason for joining the line of William Engels is purely because two young men and women looked at Mung Bean and met their eyes. For the two Fang Family clan, the status of the two parties can only be regarded as idle chess, so the two youngsters were allowed to combine.

Throwing aside the trouble of exploring and passing through the seniors, Lin listened carefully to the life-loving white sword saint’s account of the hardships of winemaking.

First of all, with the rice seed, and with the family power of Engels Baron, it is not too difficult for him to want a piece of land as an experimental paddy field. As for the rice growth period, it was only four to five months under the right climate, and a group of professional farmers harvested the rice smoothly.

However, with rice, how to make wine has become the second question.

Because there is no previous experience to follow, the professional brewers in the Engels and Nguyen families can only try to use existing technology. Anyway, the focus of winemaking is’fermentation’, and the details will be adjusted according to the situation.

Some people do it with the method of brewing ale, some people do it with the method of brewing beer, and some try to do it with the method of brewing wine, and there are all kinds of weird methods, which have been translated by others. Come out to use. William Greco is looking for wine suitable for warm drinking in several ways. The method that will be used when conducting various researches like a puzzle-trial and error method.

Such a tossing, really made him come out with some fame. At least according to William Greco, in a small range of tastings, warm wines are well received. In fact, this is also the reason why Engels Baron is willing to help. Wine is a profitable thing in itself.

During the chat, Baron knew that William Greco’s idea came from the magician in front of him, so he directly asked him to send a bottle of each kind of drink that he felt suitable. Lin also tried the taste of cold wine first. At the same time, there were also responsible brewers.

After trying them one by one, Lin felt that there are several flavors that are very similar to Earth rice wine, but they are very strong. I remembered the taste I had once drank, and after asking a few brewers, I knew where the problem was.

Different from some natural fermentation methods, grain-based wines require koji to help ferment. Midi also has techniques for making koji, but they are all koji made with wheat when brewing ale. There will be a slight difference in the taste of rice koji brewing.

Secondly, after the brewing is completed, is there a heating process, and how many times? However, this batch of wine has not undergone such a practice, because heating the finished product is not the standard brewing method for Midi. Without the heating process, the yeast in the wine will continue to ferment. At this time, the storage environment will be very particular. If the storage is not good, the wine may become rancid.

In short, after a round of tasting, Lin discussed with the “professional” brewers the methods of making wine. Of course, the knowledge of winemaking is a little understanding, but it does not prevent someone from telling some bluffing truths.

But they are all things that have not been done before. These experts are quite disapproving of a certain magician’s guidance. Instead, the Baron couple, who didn’t understand, and the white sword saint were dumbfounded by someone.

To compete with these experts, after all, you have to work on the finished product to make the wine more delicious. Otherwise, the light will speak out, but the brewers who have mastered a craft cannot be convinced.
