Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor-Chapter 468 - 251: Yak People Awakening? (6K)_3

Luo De pulled Labette aside,

and bent down to pick up a gray-white stone from the ground,

"This kind of stone will do."

He held the stone up in front of Labette’s eyes, "Look for stones with high quartz content."

"Is this just a large piece of quartz sand?" Labette asked curiously.

"More or less, you can understand it that way."

Luo De continued to explain: "Place it under sunlight, and observe its subtle transparency carefully; it seems like tiny crystals are glittering on the surface."

"Quartz stone makes a clear sound when struck, unlike the dull sound of ordinary stones."

"And you will find quartz stone feels heavier."

Labette nodded thoughtfully and walked to another stone, picking it up, "Is it like this?"

"Yes."

Luo De praised, "You’re learning quickly; this is the one."

"However, compared to quartz sand, these stones need to be crushed."

Luo De picked up a stone and forcefully smashed it against another hard rock.

Bam!

The quartz rock shattered instantly, scattering everywhere.

"Even fist-sized chunks are not suitable; they need to be smashed with a hammer, the finer the better."

"Ideally, grind them with a mortar until finer than sand so they can be used."

"It’s a time-consuming and labor-intensive task."

"Unless the sand is depleted and nowhere to be found, this quartz rock should not be used."

"Okay, I remember, Lord!"

Labette nodded heavily.

After explaining all this, Luo De waved his hand, and Vivian handed a blueprint to Labette.

"This is the blueprint for the furnace to smelt the sand; let me know if there are any issues," Luo De instructed.

Labette took it with both hands and examined it closely.

Lest he didn’t understand, Luo De explained further.

The main thing is that the furnace for glass making must be constructed of fire-resistant bricks or stones, and the ceramic basin underneath holding the glass liquid must also be fire-resistant.

"No rush on these; I’ll leave them with you for now."

Luo De said thoughtfully, "I have many other things to deal with."

"No problem, Lord, leave it to me!"

Labette said loudly.

Luo De patted Labette’s shoulder, giving him an encouraging glance.

The mining department still doesn’t have a supervisor, and Luo De needs to promote someone.

Luo De had his eyes on Labette.

Anyway, nobody knows how to make glass, so he might as well give it to him to try.

Luo De didn’t stay long at the riverbank, leaving the matter to Labette, then left with Vivian and the guard.

There are still many materials and tools needed for glassmaking.

Like wood ash and limestone, these are common in Frost Leaf Town, but they still need to be prepared in advance.

It’s worth mentioning that thanks to discovering the coast, shells can be used to burn; Frost Leaf Town has plenty of limestone.

Luo De also plans to have Lawrence find a few clever individuals to train as apprentice craftsmen for blowing glass bottles.

And the pipes, hooks, and molds for blowing glass bottles are still missing, requiring the Blacksmith Shop to make them.

...

...

The Blacksmith Shop flickered with firelight.

The red light of the furnace shone on everyone’s face, the air thick with the scent of iron shavings and sweat.

Alse set his hammer down and exhaled deeply.

This Yak person is only seventeen but is burly, with muscles as hard as rock, and his hands are already covered in calluses.

"Alse!"

The human blacksmith, Tom, walked over, eyes glimmering with envy,

"You lucky fellow!"

Tom slapped Alse’s shoulder heavily.

"You’ve inherited the legacy of the forging blade and can serve directly for the Lord! That’s something we can only dream of!"

Several other blacksmiths gathered around.

Their faces all shared the same expression—a mix of envy and respect.

"Yes, Alse."

Deputy Bard nodded and said, "The Lord personally taught you a secret technique; what an incredible honor!"

Alse smiled honestly, "Actually, it should be Chief Bain’s, but he’s too busy, so it’s my turn."

"You have potential for it," Bard encouraged.

Alse scratched the back of his head, a bit embarrassed.

"Nothing about potential, hehe, it’s that us Yak people catch the Lord’s eye."

Alse’s voice was deep,

"Alse doesn’t know much, but since the Lord treats us Giant Hoof Yak people so well, we must work hard for the Lord."

"Yes, you’re doing great now!"

Bard pointed to the workbench, to the Longsword Alse had just completed.

"Look how beautiful this sword is."

Everyone’s gaze focused on the Longsword.

The blade shimmered in the firelight like silver water.

By mere sight, the edge is undoubtedly sharp.

Unlike the Enchanted Longsword forged by Luo De, the Enchanted Longsword made by Alse bore beautiful patterns.

Those complex designs added a touch of mystery to the Longsword, appearing like layers of runes.

"This forging skill is simply a work of art," Bard remarked enviously.

Other blacksmiths nodded repeatedly, feeling the sword’s extraordinary beauty.

Alse could not keep his mouth shut from the praises.

He himself was very fond of this creation, and was even more grateful to Lord Luo De for giving him the opportunity to craft such a beautiful work with his own hands.

This was the highest ideal in every Yak person’s heart.

Its beauty made him scarcely believe it came from his own hands.

Just as Alse grinned in thought, he suddenly felt a hot rush in his chest. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

As if a flame suddenly ignited, heat spread from his heart through his veins to his limbs.

This sensation was unfamiliar, yet somewhat familiar, as though a long-dormant power was awakening.
