Chapter 9 Cooperation

Edith looked at the venerable old man of Bishop Cole, and though it had only been three days, she felt that he had become thinner, and his face seemed to have no flesh, only a layer of skin and bones.

It must have been haggard, but Edith didn't think so when she saw the old man's eyes, for Bishop Cole's eyes were bright, like a newborn baby, clear, without the cloudiness they had seen three days before.

Bishop Cole rubbed a book with a serene expression and said: "My lord has a great deal of concern about this matter, and only 'knowledge' in this world cannot be disappointed, even if this knowledge can bring about earth-shaking changes in this world. ”

The god of absolute neutrality does not explicitly take sides, but simply gives some money and supports someone...... Or a certain dragon, it's definitely a big profit for them.

What's more, this dragon is still the legitimate lord of the Sorrowful Wind Domain, inheriting the bloodline of the noble old duke, even if it is a black dragon, it should be able to give considerable trust...... Right?

"Rest assured, we won't embarrass you. Serena smiled slightly, "In a few days, the master will give a speech as the successor Duke of Grief, during the speech, I would like to ask you to personally detect whether the master is evil or not, I wonder if you are willing?"

Bishop Cole's smile became more peaceful, and he nodded: "Of course, child, as an elder of Cervantes, this kind of thing is nothing. ”

Serena wrote down the method of making the paper and solemnly handed it to Bishop Cole, but was stopped by Bishop Cole as she was about to leave.

"By the way, boy," Bishop Cole said, raising the 'paper' in his hand, "what's the name of this paper?"

The maid smiled: "It's called 'paper', because people in the future will only think of this kind of paper when they talk about 'paper', so it's called 'paper'!"

Bishop Cole watched Selena and Edith leave in shock, and only after they left did he bow his head, looked blankly at the 'paper' in his hand, and sighed: "This is really a great dream...... No, ideal!"

Edith followed the maid in distress and asked, "Sister Serena, we don't have much money in our hands anymore, why do you want me to build a ...... Set up a workshop?"

"It's not a workshop, it's a 'factory'!"

'Factory' is a coined word, so Edith doesn't quite understand it, and Serena explains: "The biggest difference between a factory and a workshop is that a standardized management system has been established, and a simple and efficient production process has been established under this system. Apprentices in a workshop can learn a lot, for example, an apprentice in a blacksmith can learn skills such as blacksmithing and ironcasting, while factory employees can only learn skills related to their position. ”

"It's like a person who wants to forge a sword has to study for at least three years, but that can only make inferior iron swords, but if the skill of 'sword casting' is separated and divided into several positions, such as 'modeling', 'preparing materials', 'smelting', 'watering', and 'repairing'? ”

After thinking about it for a while, Edith was surprised, and then looked at Serena in a daze, she really couldn't imagine why there was such a treacherous and ...... in this world Such an efficient way of working!

The maid smiled and said, "Although I just used sword forging as an example, this method is applicable to all walks of life, and I call it the 'assembly line production method'. ”

"This, this ......" Edith was shocked by Serena's sister's 'whimsy' when something suddenly came to mind.

She said with a sad face: "But Sister Serena, we, we have no money......

"No, we have money!"

Serena's footsteps stopped in front of Cervantes' door, pushed it open, pointed to the 'golden mountain' in the room, and said, "And it's still very rich!"

Edith felt as if she had gone into cardiac arrest, as if something had choked on her throat, and the sight before her left her in a state of endless confusion.

Cervantes looked up sadly from the 'lovely gold coins and gems', only to hear the maid ask him, "Master, can you lend me some money?"

The black dragon was very angry when he heard this word, and no one could take any gold coins from the black dragon's hand—any of them!

"No!" the humanoid black dragon slapped the 'hill' beside him, and the 'hill' collapsed, and the gold coin slid like water to Serena's feet.

Edith stared blankly at the gold coins, and saw a pair of leather shoes stepping on the gold coins, squeaking the gold coins.

The maid smiled and said, "I said, lend me money!"

The black dragon hesitated for a moment and said euphemistically, "No." ”

"Lend me money!" the maid gripped the gold coin on tiptoe, her smile brightening.

Cervantes pondered for a moment and said, "No......"

"Money!"

The black dragon's body trembled, looked at the maid who narrowed her eyes into a slit, and silently picked up a gold coin from the pile of gold coins and hugged it in her arms.

Serena nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "You don't understand what I told you, but I borrowed this money from you to make money, and next year, I can at least double it, borrow you 10,000 gold coins, and I will be able to give you 20,000 gold coins next year, so what about ......"

Cervantes was silent and stretched out his hand to the pillow - he was not afraid, but from the heart!

Serena turned the pillow out, saw a few dimensional bags, reached out and patted Cervantes on the shoulder, "Cervantes is so good, I love you!mua~"

After tidying up the room, the maid walked up to Edith and shook it in front of her sister-in-law with a dimensional bag, "Look, aren't we rich?"

'Sister Serena' had become an unclimbable mountain in Edith's little mind, and to be able to snatch all of his money from a living black dragon in front of him - not all, but almost—was the same wishful thinking in the common sense of the multiverse as 'lifting yourself by your own hair in your hands in the main material plane'.

I don't know if it was because of the excessive surprise and insensitiveness, Edith quickly accepted this setting, and happily began to think about what she could do with the money, at least the 'factory' could be built, and according to Serena's sister's idea, the Sadwind Leader would also cooperate with the Church of the God of Knowledge...... No, if that's the case, they don't have to worry about money at all!

Edith asked the doubts in her heart, and Serena explained softly: "Edith, as a qualified lord, she learned to plan ahead, and the old duke died, and the sad wind collar that was originally supported by the old duke alone erupted into a lot of problems. Papermaking is a long-term plan, in order to plan for the future, and it can't be quickly rewarded, and now there are many places where the sad wind leader needs money, but we don't have money, even if we have the money from Cervantes's hand, it is not enough, so I will prepare to let Cervantes give a speech on stage in a few days to boost the morale of the sad wind leader. ”

Monsters in the sewers, cultists in the realm, threats from the Black Forest, gangs and 'guilds' in the lower towns, coveted by the nobles of the interior...... There are many problems in the Sad Wind Collar, and after the death of the old duke, problems large and small will erupt, and now it is just the calm before the storm.

Today's sad wind collar is swaying in the wind and rain, and the money in his hand is still not enough.

Money is not enough, can only be used to make up people's hearts, when the old duke is still there, the reason why the sad wind leader is so peaceful and stable is because of his strong strength, as long as Cervantes can also show his strength, then all problems can be suppressed for the time being, and when the problem breaks out again, they already have enough financial resources to deal with it.

"Cervantes...... Brother, is he doing well?" said Edith, a little worried.

"Of course!" Serena pushed open the door to her study, "I'm the only one who can call him a 'stupid dragon.'" ”

...... Ah, I accidentally said it.
