Re:Zero - Starting a Different World Industry

Lyon and his party arrived at the Duke's Palace.

Leon was stunned as soon as he came down.

It was supposed to be a duke's residence.

Even if it's not big, it should look presentable.

But Lyon looked at the Duke's Palace in front of him.

The original glazed windows have disappeared.

All the white jade carvings on the wall were also taken down.

The carpet on the floor was also missing.

Even one of the doors was missing.

Lyon:…

Knights: ...

The Knight Commander's mouth twitched when he saw this, and he spoke.

"Your Excellency the Duke, let's stay for a few days... We are scared by the appearance of your Duke's Mansion..."

The Knight Commander was worried that Leon would be gone as soon as they left.

Then they cannot escape responsibility.

After hearing this, Leon swallowed his saliva, then nodded and agreed to let the Knight Commander and his men stay.

After hearing this, the Knight Commander immediately led his men into the Duke's Palace.

They wanted to check the Duke's Palace and find a place for themselves and Leon to rest.

Do not check, I don’t know, I’m scared.

Even the clean mice in the Duke's mansion shed tears when they saw it.

Leon also moved his things down.

The Knight Commander saw that Leon's things were a bit heavy and handed him a ring.

"This is?"

Leon asked.

"This is a storage ring. It does not require magic to operate. It is a gift from His Majesty to you."

The Knight Commander said calmly.

Although the Knight Commander doesn't talk much, he is one of Edward III's guards.

Absolute obedience to the orders of Edward III.

I used to be dissatisfied with Leon, thinking that he was a spoiled noble who didn't understand the sufferings of the world.

But as they walked along, the Knight Commander couldn't help but admire this eighteen-year-old yet unusually calm Duke.

Along the way, Leon didn't lose his temper at all and kept tinkering with his parts.

That's why the Knight Commander gave the storage ring to Leon.

Words of Edward III.

You observe this child carefully, and if this child shows promise, give the ring to him.

After getting the storage ring, Leon immediately put away the machine parts, weapon parts and the 3000 gold coins.

There are three types of currency in this world: gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins.

The exchange rate for each is 1:100.

These days, one copper coin could buy a piece of black bread.

So 3000 gold coins is a huge sum of money.

It is also the capital that made Lyon rich.

Leon has already made plans, and 1500 gold coins will be used to build the Territory of Sin.

1000 gold coins are used as military expenses.

There is also 500 gold coins as emergency funds.

Looking at these gold coins that were about to disappear, Lyon felt a little melancholy, but more determined.

Yes, everything will be fine!

After Lyon planned all this, he took his men out.

He had to first find out the situation in the Sin Territory, recruit some people, and make some weapons and equipment.

Leon came to the bulletin board of the Sin Territory.

He looked at the yellowed papers, shook his head, and then posted the notice he had prepared.

Then he left without looking back.

As soon as Lyon and his group left, a group of people from the Sin Territory swarmed over.

"Look, what orders did the new Duke give?"

“Is it a tax or something?”

"Don't squeeze me!"

“Dear citizens of the Territory of Sin, I am the new Duke Leon. In view of the current situation of the Territory of Sin, I have decided to exempt you from taxation for three years.

We also plan to recruit 56 guards. Those who are interested can wait at the gate of the Duke's Palace tomorrow morning."

After hearing this, everyone was excited, and the Duke immediately exempted all taxes for three years.

Although the tax revenue in the Territory of Sin was very low, it still brought ruin to many people. Moreover, the money was never handed over to the Empire but was embezzled by the officials in the Territory of Sin.

That's right, the crime lord has officials!

But these officials were no longer officials of the empire.

It was a white glove pushed forward by the forces behind the scenes of the Sin Territory.

After doing all this, Leon went to the blacksmith shop in the city.

You can hear the tinkling sound from far away.

"Hello, can you make this?"

Leon asked tentatively.

"What is that? There is nothing that the great dwarves cannot create!"

The next second, a thunder-like sound was heard.

Leon had some tinnitus.

A dwarf who was only 1 meters tall walked out.

He has short hair, a face as red as a date, and exaggerated muscles on his upper body.

After Lyon saw the blacksmith.

Then he took out his blueprint and handed it to the dwarf blacksmith.

The dwarf blacksmith looked puzzled after receiving them, and then stared at the drawings intently.

Then he looked at Leon with red eyes.

"Did you design this?"

Leon nodded.

"By the gods of the dwarves, I have never seen anything so exquisite in my life."

The dwarf said in shock.

Leon asked after hearing this.

“Can you do it?”

The dwarf smiled contemptuously after hearing this, and then spoke.

"It would be difficult for an ordinary blacksmith to make this, but I am a magic blacksmith."

Hearing this, Leon also put his mind at ease.

The drawings that Lyon showed were of a weapons stamping machine, a crude oil cracking equipment, and coal processing equipment.

And a steam engine.

There are also some weapon parts.

Although it was a bit outrageous, Leon also believed that these magic blacksmiths could do it.

Because the magic blacksmith is the magic blacksmith.

Because they all know a kind of magic.

Metal shaping!

“How much does it cost to make these?”

"These, including the cost, only cost about 150 gold coins."

The dwarf thought and said.

Lyon nodded and accepted the price.

This is much cheaper than the previous world because Lyon did not pay any patent fees.

The equipment is expensive because its company wants it to be expensive.

"Are you the new Duke?"

The dwarf asked after seeing the four knights behind Leon.

"Yes."

Leon said as he put the money on the table.

Looking at the pile of gold coins, the dwarf nodded and then spoke.

"It's work!"

Suddenly, seven or eight dwarves rushed out, took Lyon's drawings, and started forging.

The dwarf blacksmith is also ready to join the forging.

Leon asked.

"I want to know something."

The dwarf blacksmith stopped walking after hearing this, seemed a little conflicted, moved his hand holding the gold coin, and finally spoke.

"I know what you want to ask. The Sin Territory is not full of sinners as the world says. Many people who couldn't survive in the Empire fled here. The real sinners here are those at the top.

If you plan to recruit people, Xicheng District is a good choice.”

The dwarf weighed the money in his hand and entered the blacksmith shop.

"The stamping machine can be delivered to you tonight."

Came the voice of the dwarf blacksmith.

Leon didn't care and looked at the sky with heavy eyes.
