Albert Violet's eyes dimmed: "Sean, you must hate me as your father, right?"
Sean nodded. Of course, he nodded for his dead predecessor.
His predecessor was really a very tragic figure. Not only did he die, but the silver knight Mo Lifen, who was as close as mother and son to him, also died on Thorny Ridge.
If his predecessor were still alive, he would definitely hate his father to the core.
Albert Violet continued to whisper: "Actually, I have known for a long time that you will have great achievements in this life. After all, when you were born, the forest of Palomia softly called your name - Xiao
Well Violet..."
"Then why do you want to expel me from Pa City?" Sean interrupted.
"Because this is what the church says." Albert Violet smiled bitterly: "At first I thought the church was a bunch of nonsense, but I didn't expect their predictions to be true."
He raised his head and looked at the southern sky: "Anyway, I am responsible for all this. Now that things have reached this point, I will hand over the position of the Grand Duke to you, and I will not compete with you for any rights."
"Okay." Sean sighed: "After all, you are my father, and I will let you enjoy your old age...A dinner party is being held in the palace to welcome me to the city. Are you interested in attending?
"
Albert Violet hesitated for a moment, then nodded openly: "Well, good, it's time to meet those old friends."
After saying that, he followed Sean and left the deserted manor.
.
At the dinner that day, Albert Violet announced to everyone that he would unconditionally transfer the title of duke to Sean, making him the next master of the principality.
As for the coronation ceremony of the principality, at Sean's request, it will be held in one month.
Everyone present had guessed that the Grand Guild would transfer power and titles, but when it happened, the news spread explosively throughout the country.
The whole principality was in a sensation.
While everyone is sending their blessings to Sean for his upcoming coronation, they are also organizing celebrations to celebrate the birth of the new king!
.
Sean doesn't care about these false names.
On November 1, he came to the Kapur Port Artisans Association and prepared to visit the latest research results of the Artisans Association.
The main person in charge of the R&D Technology Department of the Artisans Association is [Necromancer Mechanic] Blanche.
In order to help her develop the needed technology faster, Sean also summoned a large number of goblins and followers that the dwarf race is good at manufacturing.
Although the two races of Azeroth, goblins and gnomes, are both good at technology, their technological preferences are different.
The goblin technologies that Sean prefers are all services with the goal of making money, and their transportation, arms, medical, commercial and practical applications are overwhelming.
Such as motorcycles, goblin airships, goblin artillery, etc.
What the dwarfs develop are high technologies that are not even found on Earth, such as shrinking guns, brainwashing caps, death rays, various robots, and so on.
Of course, the gnomes also have some technologies that are very suitable for the current situation. For example, the subway, steam train and railway connecting Stormwind City and Ironforge are what the Principality of Llane needs most at the moment.
.
The technologies of both races are very good, but they require a lot of time to research.
It had been less than two months since Blanche was summoned, and the other researchers had been even shorter, and they didn't even have the tools on hand.
Starting everything from scratch, of course it was impossible to get Sean a train in such a short time.
However, they have also produced many other scientific research results.
And Sean is here to see these scientific research results.
.
At the headquarters of the Craftsmen Association, little goblin Blanche took Sean into the R&D department she was in charge of.
The R&D department is located in a large manor with dozens of houses scattered around it.
Walking along the main road, you can see abandoned pipes, black water, and mechanical parts. Many of the houses were modified by goblins and gnomes with steel and mechanical elements.
Soon, this place will probably become a steampunk paradise.
Blanche led Sean along the way. The dwarves and dwarfs along the way bowed respectfully to him after seeing Sean, and then reinvested in scientific research with great concentration.
There are also a lot of humans here from the "Alchemist Association" that Sean originally recruited, but these human members are just helpers. The goblins and gnomes are mainly responsible for research and development.
Not long after, they came to the door of a small house on the side of the main road. Blanche opened the door and said:
"Sir, before we look at the steam engine, let's have some appetizers first. This is the 'flying shuttle loom' you asked for. It took us half a month to make it."
"Shuttle loom?" Sean's eyes lit up.
He just mentioned it to Blanche at first and didn't have any hope at first, but he didn't expect that the goblins would actually study it!
"Yes, the structure of this thing is very simple." Blanche pointed to the machine in front of her and explained to Sean the internal structure of the "flying shuttle loom".
Guide rails, sunken rails, high-strength springs enchanted by magicians, how to assemble them specifically...
Sean listened to Blanche's introduction. Although he didn't understand much, he still thought it was very powerful.
Finally, he asked: "How is the weaving efficiency of this new loom?"
Ultimately, Sean is most concerned about the efficiency of the machine.
Blanche tilted her head and thought for a while, then replied: "We have tested this before. If both parties are skilled workers, the efficiency can be improved by about four or five times."
"Four or five times? That's really good!" Sean was extremely excited and walked up to caress the "Shuttle Loom" as if he were caressing a stunning beauty.
"But sir, there is a shortcoming of the 'Shuttle Loom', which I feel I must tell you." Blanche said suddenly.
"What's the shortcoming?" Sean looked over quickly.
Blanche replied: "The disadvantage is that once the 'flying shuttle loom' is used in large quantities, the cotton yarn used for weaving will be in short supply."
Sean: "..."
Can this also be considered a shortcoming?
Blanche walked to the shuttle loom and pulled down the curtain of a large machine next to it:
"In order to solve this shortcoming, we also took the time to create this machine, which is the 'Jenny Spinning Machine' you mentioned!
With this advanced spinning machine, you don’t have to worry about the shortage of cotton yarn!”
"Spinning Jenny?!" Sean was extremely surprised.
The things in the textbook were actually made by the goblins? Or are they just half-finished products?
But no matter what, this is enough to make Sean happy.
With the looms and spinning machines, coupled with the previous high-yielding crops, at least the clothing and food of the residents of the principality have been greatly improved.
