The father and son looked at each other and smiled. There was no need to say anything.
This banquet was a joyous one for both the host and the guests.
…
The next day.
Liszt arranged for Duke Piero to be the third vice chairman of the development committee. The rest of the matters were left to his father. In the past, he was reluctant to let go of power and liked to experience authority at work. However, after getting used to it for a while, he no longer wanted to be tied down by mundane tasks every day.
Fortunately, he had a few blood relatives, especially his father, Leewilliam, who he could entrust to him.
It was good to be a hands-off boss.
With the hope of eternal life, Liszt's desire to start a family had faded. Even if he did not master the skills of the Dragon Lord, the phoenix incarnation had given him a lifespan of at least a few hundred years.
He had established a kingdom in a few years.
It was unimaginable what kind of realm he would reach after a few hundred years.
"I have to work harder now and help A Qi figure out the Stronghold Knight's cultivation system. When I become a Stronghold Knight that surpasses the Dragon Knight realm, the entire Legendary continent will be under my control … At least according to Laird Truth, there is no one stronger than the Dragon Knight in the Noble Frost Empire."
The Noble Frost Empire did not have a Stronghold Knight. Obviously, the Unsetting Radiance Empire and the Blue Dragon Empire did not have a Stronghold Knight.
Otherwise, the tripod would have been broken long ago.
However, it was not easy to figure out the Stronghold Knight's cultivation system. A Qi had been working in the Wizard Tower for a long time, but she still could not understand the nature of the Stronghold.
"Brother, it's difficult to explore the Stronghold using ordinary methods. We can only rely on Bard's adult strength to spy on the Weave Dragon and find clues about the Stronghold from it." A Qi announced helplessly in mid-September that there was no progress in the research on the Stronghold.
Liszt comforted her. "Don't worry, A Qi. Observing the Weave Dragon is the worst plan. If we alarm the Weave Dragon, it will be hard to imagine the consequences. We can only make a decision when we have no other choice … Why don't you put down your stronghold research and go out to enjoy the scenery?"
"A Qi is not tired at all. I ride Charlie to the beach every evening."
"Then I'll change my research job and find some inspiration."
"Yep, yep. A Qi has a lot of research at hand. Emerald Dragon Leg — Mystic Dragon's Soul Fruit, Golden Apple Wood — Bloodline Fruit, Pitch-Black Ring — Equivalence Alchemy … A Qi has been wanting to research alchemy recently. I've already given Laird Truth the relevant data on Equivalence Alchemy. He's checking the exchange rates between all metals."
The Magic Shooter who immersed himself in compiling the Encyclopedia and summarized his knowledge into the Research Topics of Laird Truth's Life. After contributing the Laird Research Project to A Qi, his knowledge was acknowledged by A Qi, and he was allowed to participate in some of the experiments.
She handed over the data to Ryder, who would lead the Magicians to research it himself.
Right now, A Qi was like the boss of a laboratory, while people like Laird were the boss' subordinates. Ordinary magicians were the research dogs, while the great magicians were the leaders of the research dogs. The hierarchy was clear, and the division of labor was clear. Some people had to work, while others had to work.
…
In October, there was a rapid breakthrough in the research on Alchemy.
With reference to the ability of the Pitch-Black Ring, under the supervision of A Qi, a brand new alchemy magic array was set up in the laboratory and successfully refined a ton of iron into a pound of mithril. The ratio was about 2350 to 1.
"An equivalent exchange of 2350 to 1. If I set up a magic array to replace the effect of the Pitch-Black Ring, and take into account the manpower of the Magicians, the ratio might increase to 2470 to 1." Laird calculated in his notebook and drew out a table of the equivalence.
Liszt raised his eyebrows. "Even if it's worth 2500 to 1, it's still a very profitable business. Now that the territory is no longer short of iron, it's completely possible to refine some of the iron into mithril!"
Mithril played an important role in Knight equipment, especially in a predatory war like the Pioneering Order. The light mithril armor allowed a Knight to come and go like the wind.
Snatching and running had always been the most adept skill of Knight at sea.
"Your Majesty, the equivalence ratio of iron to mithril is not the most cost-effective. The most cost-effective is copper to adamantine. After calculating the wear and tear, the equivalence ratio can reach 2310 to 1."
The smaller the ratio, the greater the amount of magic metal that could be refined from ordinary metals.
"This is also possible. The importance of adamantine is self-evident, and there is no shortage of bronze. We have to develop this alchemy!" Liszt immediately decided to get both mithril and adamantine. As for orichalcum, there was no need for orichalcum. The orichalcum dragon Marta was lying in the Fire Kingdom and could produce orichalcum at any time.
He then asked, "What is the equivalence ratio of ordinary metals to gold and silver?"
Gold and silver were the common currencies in the Legendary Continent. If the equivalence ratio was good, gold and silver could be produced in large quantities. This way, the Fire Kingdom would never lack money again.
"The equivalence ratio of iron to gold is 1850 to 1. The equivalence ratio of iron to silver is 1430 to 1. The equivalence ratio of copper to gold is 1260 to 1. The equivalence ratio of copper to silver is 870 to 1 …"
"The equivalence ratio of silver is not much different from that of gold. However, gold is much more valuable than silver. It is not cost-effective to exchange iron and copper for silver. It is alright to exchange for gold, but the process of alchemy is complicated. It is more cost-effective to exchange iron and copper for magic metal. "
After a little calculation, Liszt figured out the profit.
One gold coin was equivalent to 100 silver coins, which was equivalent to 10000 copper coins.
Calculating from the gold content and other aspects, the value of gold to copper was about 1: 2500. The effect of alchemy was 1: 1260. The effect of alchemy was about to turn one gold coin into two gold coins. The effect was not as fast as doing business. It was obviously not cost-effective.
The exchange ratio of silver was even more exaggerated. Not only would there be no profit, but there would also be a serious loss.
In conclusion, it was still better to use iron, copper, and other metals to alchemy for magic metal to make a lot of money. It was no wonder that alchemy was the favorite topic of all mages. Almost all mages would choose to study alchemy after they had some achievements.
With alchemy, they would no longer be short of money. They would have the money to conduct more experiments and explore more truths.
"Alchemy will be the top secret of the Fire Kingdom. Other than A Qi, the technology of the alchemy magic circle can only be controlled by the three mages, Laird, Chris, and Kenley. If it is leaked, I will hold you responsible," Liszt announced solemnly after looking at the results of the alchemy.
The alchemy magic circle was classified as an official technology and was prohibited from private use. This undoubtedly affected the enthusiasm of the three mages.
So, in order to motivate the three of them to take charge of the alchemy magic circle, he announced again, "The alchemy magic circle needs to be carried out immediately. No matter who takes charge of the alchemy magic circle, you will be able to get 10% of the net profit for your private magic experiments and research."
With that said.
Chris was fine. She rarely engaged in magic research and mainly focused on administration. Money was of no use to her. Laird and Kenley's eyes lit up. They were true believers of the truth. With money, they could do whatever they wanted. There was no need to apply for research funds from the Guild of Magic.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. As long as there is time, I will be happy to take charge of the alchemy magic circle."
