Engraving names, then having people see the living, breathing workers still wandering around the territory, could reduce the fear in the people's hearts... After a long silence, Viscount Roster made a decision that went against his ancestors—holding weekly outdoor parade activities, mainly encouraging factory workers to perform various shows on the streets.

Every few days, they could see those guys who made and used the 'demons' performing happily on the streets, enjoying delicious food, chatting freely with people around them. Under these circumstances, what did they have to worry about?

The promotion of magic-tech machinery entered a stable period.

With Magnemite's super assistance, over the next twenty days, a series of magic power engine machines appeared in Roster territory. Some of these machines were suitable for excavating mountains and building roads, some for pulling mine carts, some could pump water, some could assist with construction...

Almost at the same time, Roster Steel Mill was officially established. Compared to other workshops, Roster Steel Mill had just been established but already had a huge interest group behind it—a total of 132 minor nobles, 27 major nobles, 3 top-tier nobles, plus joint investment from the royal family and the Kingdom of Dawn's treasury. Among them, aside from Roster, the largest shareholder only had 0.9% equity, but this represented an attitude, a kind of 'authorization' that could support the rapid development of Roster Steel Mill.

With such massive power backing it, no one dared to negatively impact the operation of Roster Steel Mill. As a result, a new smelting technology rapidly expanded. In this steel mill, there were dozens of 'magic power blast furnaces' that could smelt iron ore into higher-purity steel.

Normally, smelting iron ore required a furnace and countless fuel... But magic power blast furnaces were different. They were all connected through circuits to super-large self-charging magic arrays. After countless flame-type runes were activated, they could instantly bring the furnace temperature to standard, then proceed with smelting. Other processes were the same.

An unprecedented, super-efficient, super-high-standard steel mill officially appeared.

All kinds of magic power engine machinery also built a route from the mine to the steel mill within a week. This process didn't have lots of magicians using 'Stone to Mud,' 'Mud to Stone,' and other magic to assist, yet was still so rapid—it left quite a few people dumbfounded.

They finally realized a new era had arrived!

Even more terrifying, under Magnemite's day-and-night work, Roster territory already had over a hundred machine tool sets. Relying on these machine tools, ordinary Magic Conductors could now be produced by machine tools with minimal human assistance. Production efficiency increased exponentially!

"Oh my God! Divine Envoy, your abilities have far exceeded my expectations. I'll expand the steel mill's scale as soon as possible and start purchasing ore from outside." Looking at this scene, Viscount Roster was somewhat dumbfounded.

He was now the kingdom's Finance Minister. The king had been secluded for a long time, so basically all financial matters were completely under his control. Naturally, many nobles wanted to curry favor with him. He had already mixed into the Kingdom of Dawn's core circle and controlled resources within the circle.

"You plan to purchase ore from outside? I feel like in the short term, the ore you purchase probably won't be able to satisfy the Divine Envoy's consumption... Who knows when we can take down those mine sites in beastmen territory..." The wild mage who came with Roster, after leaving the area where Magnemite was, finally couldn't help but speak up.

"No, I have a better idea. Even if we mine from the beastmen side, transporting it here would take more time and greater cost." The corners of Roster's mouth curved into a smile, very warm and gentle. But the wild mage knew he definitely had some 'bad idea' again.

"Wait, you're planning to..." The wild mage suddenly caught on.

"The glory of my God of Technology—it's time to start spreading it!" The smile on Roster's face grew even richer.

That day, Roster returned to the capital and wrote over ten letters.

Three days later, thirteen nobles from around the capital arrived at Roster territory. One of them was even a noble suspected of participating in the Roster Rebellion back then. But Roster greeted these nobles warmly without batting an eye, showing none of the airs of a Finance Minister.

After simple greetings, someone finally couldn't help but speak. "Mr. Roster, I heard you invited us here because you want to discuss a new business deal? I wonder what specifically?"

Roster's current status made the viscount title seem not very fitting, but there wasn't a better form of address. So some with flexible minds directly and respectfully called him Mister.

Like the one in front of him—he was a count!

But they also knew that whether in terms of status or interests, it was worth it.

Roster—everyone who participated in his projects made tons of money. Sometimes even if you wanted to invest, you might not get the chance.

This guy was a real treasure trove, a treasure trove blessed by the God of Technology!

"We do indeed have a new business deal. But before that, I'd like to invite you all to visit Roster Steel Mill and our Roster territory mines with me." Viscount Roster said with a smile. "Most of you here are shareholders of the steel mill. I think you'd also like to see your 'property,' right?"

The words—mines and steel mill—made quite a few nobles present frown. They didn't like places that didn't match their status, even though all thirteen of them were nobles whose main income relied on mines.

"What? It seems you all don't want to go?" Viscount Roster raised an eyebrow slightly, pretending to be somewhat unhappy.

"No, you misunderstand. You invited us because you should know that our families have lived off mining for dozens of generations. We know mines inside and out—there's no need to visit the mines... Of course, if you insist, we can still go." A noble with a small mustache quickly explained.

Almost all his mine output would be sold to the military. If he offended this Viscount Roster, that would be the end of him!

"The business I want to discuss is right in the mines. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you probably can't imagine what that scene looks like." Viscount Roster's expression eased a bit.

Actually, everyone present knew these were just Viscount Roster's conversational techniques. But even so, with things said to this point, if they didn't go, that would be tactless. So one by one they readily agreed to visit the steel mill and mines!
