Lord of the Scourge: Become the Demon Archduke In the Beginning

"Master Lauren?"

Ariel looked at Lauren in a daze with complicated emotions, and called out several times softly.

There is admiration, admiration and admiration for the teenager who saved her from hell.

Although I know in my heart that it is impossible to get the favor of the other party because of my origin.

But every night before going to bed, I still can't help but fantasize.

That handsome and perfect young man can fall in love with her... even if only once...

Externally, the girl is the deputy speaker of the city hall, who can decide the fate of countless people.

But in front of Lauren, she was still the unconfident and shy little girl.

At this time, facing the elf's letter that almost showed love to Lauren, his inner emotions were extremely complicated.

Lauren came back to his senses, and put the opened letters on the desk at will.

Seeing Ariel who was in a strange mood, she couldn't help but laugh.

He stretched out his hand and pinched the other person's face, and smiled.

"Princess Elf and Ai Rui thanked me in the letter and wanted to invite me to the Misty Mountains."

"It's not a big deal."

"The transaction with the elves, you can take control, and I will write back to them later."

For elves, he has always kept a respectful distance.

The darlings of nature don't take kindly to demons.

If it weren't for a coincidence, he would never have thought that one day he would be able to trade with the elves.

The pronoun of evil and darkness—the devil, has something to do with the representative of lawful good—the elf.

Really interesting.

Seeing Lauren's lack of interest in elves, Ariel instantly became refreshed.

"My lord, I will make arrangements..."

Lauren nodded, not talking nonsense on this matter.

There is no doubt about Ariel's talent in internal affairs, and it is enough for her to handle this matter.

The conversation turned to magic paper.

"I just inspected outside the paper mill. The scale of the paper mill is not large now. Can it support our strategic goals in a short time?"

He had bet heavily on Magic Paper months earlier, having recognized its potential.

Now is the time to harvest.

But the problem is that magic items are different from industrial items, which can be manufactured on a large scale with alchemy machines.

Magic items have natural limitations.

Magic can drive alchemy machines, but it cannot give machines the ability to control magic power.

So it is not easy to increase the production efficiency of magic paper.

When Ariel heard this, her face also became serious.

"Magic Paper currently lacks production raw materials, and the prices of these production raw materials are not low."

"I have already communicated with the elves. The elves' wealth should be able to meet our needs."

"But if you want to exaggerate quickly, maybe you can't do it yet."

"We don't have that many spellcasters..."

Lauren raised his brows, the lack of spellcasters has always been bothering him.

It seems that we have to find a way to solve this problem.

After pondering for a moment, he raised his head, "Call Tommy."

Ariel immediately turned and went out, handing over the task to the guards in the corridor.

Ten minutes later.

A gray-haired old man ran into the house panting.

Very respectfully, he raised his chest and saluted Lauren.

"Lord Lauren, good day."

"No need to be polite."

After the old man straightened up, he said excitedly.

"My lord, the paper mill has lived up to your expectations! We have developed magic paper!"

Lauren has been a huge support to him from the beginning.

This made Tommy very moved.

It is so rare to be so trusted by this distinguished nobleman.

So he worked like crazy during this period of time, in order to repay Lauren's kindness to him.

After so much effort, it finally paid off.

The heart is naturally extremely excited.

At this moment, he can finally pat his chest and say that he has lived up to Lord Laurent's trust in him!

Naturally, Lauren will not be stingy with rewards.

"Tommy, you did a great job and you didn't disappoint me."

"But now there is a big problem before us... how to increase the production of magic paper?"

"I want to hear your opinion."

When Tommy heard this, the excitement on his face dissipated slightly.

Started to think seriously.

After organizing the language, he said in a deep voice.

"Master Lauren, I have seen that the alchemy machine has completely changed the production model of the weapons department in the past few days."

"I was very impressed by the productivity of the alchemy machine."

"If you want to increase production efficiency in a short period of time, the fastest way is to start with the alchemy machine."

Lauren frowned slightly.

"I also had this idea, but magic is different from forging weapons. Alchemy machines are suitable for weapons, but they may not be effective when used on magic paper."

Tommy could think of it, and other people would naturally not turn a blind eye.

But the alchemy machine obviously has nothing to do with making magic paper, and it is difficult to find the balance.

"Master Lauren, I heard that we have made a deal with the elves..."

Tommy hesitated.

"My grandfather once told me that in the magic paper manufacturing technology left by our ancestors, it was mentioned that the elves have a kind of elemental life—the tree spirit, which can possess the alchemy machine.

After being possessed, the alchemy machine will come alive...it can be used to make magic paper or even magic scrolls. "

"The tree spirit, like the rock giant, is a kind of elemental life and controls the power of the elements."

"If we can find the tree spirit, maybe we can make the alchemy machine mobilize magic..."

Dryad?

And this miraculous life?

Lauren's eyes lit up.

If Tommy was talking about other races, he might not quite believe it.

But elves are different.

These long-lived species that have never broken their inheritance for millions of years don't have too many good things.

This couldn't help but make his heart skip a beat.

If he could really get the tree spirit that Tommy described, then the lack of a spellcaster would undoubtedly be made up for.

"Ariel, the next time you send people to the Misty Mountains, you must find out the news of the tree spirit."

After thinking about it, "Purchase an office with the elf princess, and the caravans of Huiyue City will be permanently stationed in the main elf city in the future."

The elves, a rich race, are treasures everywhere.

Establishing a long-term trade relationship with the other party, the benefits that can be gained are enough to make everyone jealous.

"Yes, my lord."

After finding a solution to this urgent problem, Lauren was in a good mood.

"Tommy, the magic paper has been made, can the paper mill produce magic scrolls?"

Magic paper is a prerequisite for magic scrolls.

In other words, magic paper is the raw material for the production of magic scrolls. Turning magic paper into magic scrolls is no less difficult than making magic scrolls.

Tommy smiled wryly.

"Master Lauren, it has consumed most of my knowledge reserve to be able to develop magic paper.

Making magic scrolls not only requires the corresponding scroll manufacturing technology, but also requires the spellcaster to operate...

There are too many bad things in the paper mill.

Maybe you can replace the spellcaster after you find the tree spirit, but with the corresponding scroll manufacturing technology, there is no way..."

Making the magic paper has already caused him to lose almost all his hair.

The magic scroll is something beyond his reach, and it can only be made by a master mage.

Lauren nodded.

"Ariel, go back and ask the elves to see if they have the technology to make magic scrolls.

Didn't the winery experiment with several new wines?

Learn more about the hobbies of elves, blend a wine for elves, and we exchange wine with them for resources. "

Spirits and magic scrolls, these two carriages will play a supporting role in Lauren's plan in the future.

The brewery has gradually been on the right track, and now the magic scroll is missing.

After speaking, Lauren thought for a while and added another sentence.

"If you can't exchange that much wine for the time being, you can borrow it from the elf princess first."

He not only saved the elves, but also helped them preserve the seeds of the tree of life.

Such a big favor should not be wasted, and more resources should be exchanged for it.

Tommy listened in awe.

Lord Laurent is worthy of being the son of God favored by the goddess, and he has such a close relationship with the elf princess...

And there are many demons under the command of the adults.

After explaining the matter clearly, Lauren asked about the manufacture of some magic paper.

Finally, he exhorted Tommy.

"The magic paper can only be said to have been successfully developed, but it is far from the end."

"I need you to continue to develop and improve the production technology of magic paper. We must not stagnate because of this little harvest."

Tommy answered immediately with his head held high.

"Master Luo Lun, I will make every effort to fulfill your will!

Praise Huiyue! "

——

Huiyue City quickly stabilized because of Lauren's return.

The buildings that had been stopped due to the Battle of the Valley of Ruins started to restart.

And because of the influx of a large number of people, the shortage of labor force in Huiyue City has been replenished.

The construction speed has not only changed due to the shutdown, but has started to gradually increase.

Especially the city wall, which changes day by day, is expected to become a wall of sighs that makes the enemy despair by the end of the month.

Time flies.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

August 10th.

A piece of heavy news was delivered to Huiyue City through the Bumblebee Demon.

The orcs who surrounded Decker City withdrew.

The reason is that the first king of the orc empire will hold a grand ceremony five days later.

Take the throne.

At the same time, the Orc Empire issued invitations to the countries around the endless wasteland, inviting them to watch the ceremony.

The news spread throughout the main plane like a whirlwind.

The orcs, who have always existed in the form of tribes, established their own country for the first time.

And they also occupy the endless wasteland with extremely rich mineral resources.

The impact of this incident is immeasurable.

The major empires began to increase their troops towards the border, just in case.

Some people also began to enter the endless wasteland, hoping to find out the true strength of the orcs when they participated in the enthronement ceremony of the orc king.

For a while, this news attracted a lot of attention, and even the place where everyone's discussion ended seemed a bit deserted.

After Lauren, who had stayed in Huiyue City for several days, got the news, he immediately sent someone to contact Decker City.

At the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce, after seeing the messenger from Glorious Moon City, Arnold took out some blueprints of magic scroll manufacturing technology with a smile on his face...
