I picked up the dragon girl at the beginning and I used artillery fire to liberate the other world

"Is it okay for your tail to drag like this?" On the way back to the lord's castle, Bai Yan had already looked at Alicia's tail several times.

The tail had delicate silver scales on it, but it looked extremely soft, and it was thick and long, hanging behind Alicia.

Alicia walked gracefully. When she heard Bai Yan's question, she waved her hand nonchalantly, "As a dragon, the dirt of the world cannot stain me. Besides, it is too uncomfortable to put my tail away."

"So you don't need to take a shower?" Bai Yan was once again hit by a biological genetic blow. He also wanted to have this function.

“Oh, of course I take a bath too. I often heat up a pool of lake water with dragon fire, and then soak in it comfortably for a while.” Alicia seemed to have great patience with the man who gave her a new life.

As a member of the dragon clan, she had always lived a leisurely and lonely life. A while ago, she was really bored and wanted to wander around, and somehow she broke into the ancient ruins.

"I heard that your dragon clan usually stays on Dragon Island. Is this true or false?" Bai Yan was very curious about the dragon clan. Although his Book of Everything could tell him everything, Bai Yan still asked Alicia various questions.

Speaking of the Book of Everything, Bai Yan became more and more shocked by this golden finger.

Originally he thought that this book could only be used to understand the names and uses of some species or various materials in this world through touch, but later he discovered that this was simply the most insignificant point of its function.

What’s more powerful is that it can fully interpret everything Bai Yan knew in his previous life.

Revolvers, Barrett anti-material sniper rifles, Maxim heavy machine guns, these weapons that have only been seen in movies can also have their manufacturing principles fully revealed in books.

Even more advanced are high-tech equipment such as rockets, satellites, and supercomputers.

What's more, the controlled nuclear fusion and plasma cannons mentioned in some science fiction novels can also provide various manufacturing methods for nanomaterials, but such things are too vague for him.

In short, everything he knew in his previous life can be clearly reflected in this book.

While being excited, Bai Yan couldn't help but have some doubts about his own time travel. What on earth caused him to travel to this world, and what creature created the Book of All Things?

As a rational materialist, Bai Yan firmly believes that this Book of Everything is not a so-called gift from God, but there must be some theory behind it.

Even the magic in this world may also rely on a certain theoretical system to operate.

. . .

While chatting with Alicia, they walked into the lord's castle. Along the way, most of the people in the lord's castle still looked half-dead. Only when they saw Bai Yan or the indescribably beautiful Alicia beside Bai Yan did they perk up and bow to salute.

This is the drawback of feudal society, which cannot maximize the enthusiasm of the labor force. The noble lords completely treat their subjects as tools and exploit them endlessly.

All they asked of their subjects was that they should not starve to death. The grain, ironware, and cloth they collected each year could account for two-thirds of the entire Black Iron Castle.

This also leads to the fact that the subjects don't want to grow more food, blacksmiths don't want to forge more iron, and women don't want to weave more cloth, because the lord will ensure that they can survive, but will never allow them to live too well.

But starting today, all that is going to change.

In the lord's castle, Bai Yan sat in the chair for handling government affairs and asked his maid to summon Minister Edward.

Alicia on the side was leisurely eating the dried fruits sent from the kitchen. Her silver-white hair was blown by the breeze from time to time, revealing her white neck.

Soon, Minister Edward rushed into Bai Yan's government hall. The old fat man stood in front of Bai Yan, panting, with some resentment in his eyes.

"Your Highness, are you looking for me?"

"Minister Edward, please tell me about the development of Black Iron Castle."

"Um, Your Highness, why are you suddenly asking this?" Edward's face was full of surprise when he heard Bai Yan's question. Shouldn't he be asked to find a few beautiful wives and widows at this time?

"As the lord of Black Iron Castle, shouldn't I think about the future development of my power?" Bai Yan tapped the table with his index finger, making a crisp thump. Along with the sound of Alicia chewing dried fruit beside him, it seemed to make the room quieter for a moment.

A few beads of sweat appeared on Edward's forehead. After working around the king for so many years, he was sure that his Royal Highness was angry now.

Edward swallowed his saliva and looked into Bai Yan's eyes cautiously: "Your Highness, you are a prince with a noble status. You will become a grand duke in the future. Why do you care about such a small Black Iron Castle?"

"Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?" Bai Yan sighed. He needed to give Edward, a minister who did not seek to make progress, a good lesson.

As Bai Yan sighed, Edward's face became visibly tense.

He fell to his knees with a thud, his head hitting the stone slab: "Your Highness, calm down, I know I am wrong!"

"Then tell me about it. As my finance minister, you have to be of some use." Bai Yan did not punish him too much. The plan in his mind needed someone to implement it.

"Your Highness, isn't Black Iron Castle doing well now? It's internally stable, and only the Dark Forest is a major threat.

Therefore, I think we should strengthen the training of more soldiers to resist the attacks of monsters in winter.

Given the time, the Warcraft should be getting restless."

As Edward spoke, his face relaxed. His words were completely based on the interests of His Highness, and this was exactly what Black Iron Castle lacked.

The monsters in the Dark Forest were not just weak beasts. They were eroded by the mixed magic in the Dark Forest. Not only were they as big as a house, but some of the severely eroded monsters had special means of performing magical attacks.

However, with the cannon, Bai Yan was not too worried about this. At worst, the legendary creature Alicia was not a paper tiger.

So, looking at the minister in front of him with a flattering smile, Bai Yan slowly shook his head: "Minister Edward, you still have a lot to learn in the future.

There’s a saying, “Oh, if you’re not good at it, practice more.”

Before Edward’s beard could tremble, Bai Yan waved his hand again: “Don’t be nervous, I won’t punish you.

In the evening, have all my subjects gather in the square. I have something to say."
