Farming in the Magical World

When Cody asked, Hammer shook his head dismissively.

"Hey, don't worry, it's just a little thing, it's not difficult!"

"Colin is a bit of a problem, his designs are very detailed and numerous, but the rest are not a problem. I'll send it to him this afternoon."

"it is good!"

Nodding, Cody took another bite, and then solemnly began to explain again.

"By the way, remember to keep it a secret. This template can't be made a second time. Did Lord Dari tell you that?"

"I said it!"

Iron Hammer nodded, but then suddenly asked with doubt, "You mean, Master really wants to use this thing to replace gold coins?"

It's just a piece of glass, how can it be more expensive than gold coins?

Even though he rarely saw gold coins, it didn't stop him from knowing that gold coins were the most valuable of all currencies, a consensus that had been held by everyone for hundreds of years.

But it seems the master wants to break this consensus?

"You don't understand this!"

Cody proudly raised his head and glanced at Hammer. "Go out and see who can control glass production?"

"You know how many failures my master and I went through back then!"

After talking for a while, he finally remembered something and spoke up again, "Just like the master said, those who know how won't come, and those who come won't!"

Unexpectedly, Karina, who was holding Jaina, suddenly burst out laughing.

"Cody, what are you saying!"

He shrugged, though Cody didn't really know what he was saying in his strange tone.

But he understood the general idea: those who had mastered the technology didn't find it difficult, while those who hadn't found it extremely difficult.

At the time, the master was talking to himself, and he was curious and thought it sounded impressive, so he secretly wrote it down.

Of course, he didn't realize that he had misheard, and that the actual words were not like that.

Fortunately, no one in Caster Ridge can correct him... except for Lanny.

"Mom, I've finished eating. Can I go out and play now?"

Why didn't you wipe your mouth?

Karina affectionately wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth before nodding. "Go ahead, but remember not to go outside; it's too hot out there..."

"Okay, I'll go help my sister sell things!"

Karina sighed with emotion as she watched Jaina skip and hop towards the front hall.

"She's lucky to have been born in such a good time... If it were before, she probably would have gone hungry a lot!"

"That's true, my daughter is lucky, hehe!"

Karina rolled her eyes at her husband, then looked at Cody.

"Cody, you're not getting any younger, how about I introduce you to someone?"

Tsk... ...

Why is it this again?

Cody felt that he was being pressured more and more lately.

"Jaina, I'm leaving!"

"Okay, goodbye Uncle!"

After emerging from the inner room and greeting Jaina, who was acting like a little adult selling things in the front hall, Cody then stepped out of the boutique.

Outside, the sun was still blazing, but for a moment, he had nowhere to go.

After thinking for a moment, he looked toward Helen's House, which was not far away.

Why don't we go sit for a while?

Under the scorching sun, he slowly made his way to this place he rarely visited, and gently pushed open the heavy door.

Ring ring...

The wind chimes at the door rang, and Aunt Helen, who was busy at the counter, looked up.

"Supervisor, it's a rare sight to see you like this! Please come in!"

Nodding, Cody found a seat and sat down.

"Okay, I'll just sit here for a bit. Give me a glass of water!"

Aunt Helen laughed.

"Sir, how about some wine... You seem a bit troubled. A little wine will make you feel better."

Cody's brow twitched; he was somewhat tempted.

But then he remembered it was a weekday, so he could only shake his head and say, "I have to go to work this afternoon, so just give me a glass of water!"

"Okay, here, I added some passion fruit syrup for you, have a taste!"

Cody raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

This is a specialty of Bauhinia. He had only heard of it from others, but he never expected to be able to drink it in his own territory.

"Haha, of course! Those Bauhinia sailors bring some of this over as extra income, though not much. There's more in Northwind Port!"

"Helen, Helen, what are you doing? Where's my wine...?"

She had only exchanged a few words with Cody when guests started calling out, so Aunt Helen could only nod to Cody and immediately went to attend to the guests.

"What are you yelling about? I know, I know, I'm here! You red-nosed drunkard, I'll drink you to death..."

"Hehe, I survived the battlefield back then, how could I possibly drink myself to death? Enough nonsense, bring the wine..."

Ignoring the disheveled drunkard, Cody took a sip of what was in his glass.

He's obviously a sailor, a heavy drinker, and not my type at all.

Only then did Cody turn his head to carefully examine this place he rarely visited.

There was a large counter at the entrance, with seven or eight tables inside.

Even though the room was fairly spacious, it was still quite hot under the blazing sun in the room without air conditioning.

There weren't many guests at the time, but there were still three or four tables occupied.

The red-nosed drunkard in the corner and his companion were clearly crew members, while the four middle-aged men next door looked like traveling merchants, dressed as freemen.

Further on, a master with three attendants appeared. They were probably there to do business in the territory, but unlike traveling merchants, they were likely purchasing perfumes, glass, rubber, or perhaps air conditioners.

Meanwhile, a flamboyant woman hovered around the master, her face full of seductive smiles, constantly rubbing her ample breasts against him.

Cody frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

What's Helen up to? A perfectly good shop, and now she even has prostitutes?

"Hey, don't mind her. She's not from the shop; she was brought here by a customer. I can't exactly kick the customer out too, can I?"

After finishing her work, Aunt Helen came over again and, seeing Cody frowning, quickly began to explain.

Despite having worked at the castle, she was no match for Cody back then, especially now that she has left the castle.

However, she naturally had her own goals in coming here.

"Hehe, Cody, just asking, it's just... it's just..."

Seeing Helen hesitate, Cody turned and glanced at her, fully aware of her intentions.

If this hotel could install an air conditioner in this hot summer, wouldn't it be a huge success?

But the question is, why?

The fact that Cora's tailor shop has air conditioning is a sign of Cordy's prestige, while the fact that the Hammer family has air conditioning is even more so a sign of Jaina's prestige as a teacher.

Do you really think that there are so many air conditioners in the castle that there's nowhere to buy them?

No, quite the opposite. Air conditioners are in short supply right now, and there are long queues of people waiting to pick them up every day.

After thinking about it, he realized he couldn't say anything too harsh and could only shake his head regretfully.

"Aunt Helen, this really won't do."

The expectation in her eyes finally turned into deep disappointment, but Aunt Helen still refused to give up.

Is there really no other way?

There are solutions... ...it's not entirely impossible.

However, that's not possible at the moment.

Modern air conditioners, because each unit has an energy-concentrating array, are precisely the slowest part to produce. I've heard that a new version with centralized energy supply has been developed, which could solve the production speed problem.

However, there are still problems, namely... energy.

Without a magic core and unable to install an energy-gathering array, the only solution is to use a centralized array for power supply.

Putting aside how expensive magic wire is, the current mage tower doesn't even have enough for a few workshops, so there's no way it could be used by Hexi Village.

Unless, of course, the next generation of mage towers is completed, there is still a possibility.

It is said that the new mage tower is very powerful, and there will be no shortage of magic power at all; on the contrary, there will be plenty.

It's supposedly called something like Magic Network or something.

To complement this, Lord Victor also developed a new magic wire, made from wild six-leaf clover juice mixed with Ruby residue, which was much cheaper than the previous magic wire.

Perhaps then all places will be connected.

However, he couldn't say these things and could only shake his head regretfully.

"Right now, it's really not possible!"
