Leon returned to the academy.
The ostensible purpose of students attending the academy is in fact the acquisition of knighthoods and wizarding titles.
Among the children of a noble family, only one can inherit that title.
The children who do not have the rest of the right to succession will instead graduate from the academy and acquire a title equivalent to a semi-noble, but enjoy a better life.
But does that mean that the eldest son of a noble family does not have to attend the academy?
It’s rare for a young person to do well in warfare at a young age of less than 19, but if it were possible, would attending an academy be a waste of time?
At least people in this world didn’t think so.
In the first place, Leon didn’t even come to the academy hoping for a wizard title.
The title of wizard is just the beginning, and the reason Leon came to the academy was to discover personal connections, that is, talent.
In fact, Leon took Viscount Donovan as a vassal here, and became friends with the demonic alchemist Vincent Bionell and Mary Goldberg, the daughter of the wealthy man.
Leo was also awarded the Order of the Thunder Dragon for his achievements in this war and was recognized as a wizard, but he had no intention of dropping out of the academy.
Above all, Leon knows that he is still incomplete.
Although he was able to successfully prove his skills by subjugating quite a few demons and demons, Leon knows well that his abilities will not end at this level.
Although the magic itself may be able to exert a power comparable to that of the 7th circle beyond the 6th circle, the number of circles formed above Leon’s head itself is at most four.
Even Leon was judging himself that he couldn’t handle those four circles properly.
In other words, the time Leon attended the academy was also the time needed to devote himself to such things.
‘Anyway, I’m only 12 years old now.’
Of course, from the point of view of the world, if you are only 12 years old and have the skills to subdue the demons of the duke, I wonder if you need to devote yourself further than that, but what is really important is not the world’s point of view.
Absolute standards that you set yourself.
He was always unsatisfied and always seeking the upper hand.
Time flew by so quickly while I was honing my magic.
“look! It’s finally finished!”
With Mary’s support and Vincent’s efforts, Pure Potion was developed.
According to the original history, Pure Potion was developed after Leon turned 16.
In other words, with Leon’s intervention, the development of Pure Potion was advanced by four years.
Leon established a new organization using the wizarding title.
Thunder Dragon Wizard.
He established an organization under the name of the thunder dragon allowed to Leon, and sold pure potions and mana potions under the name of the thunder dragon.
As a member of the group, Mary Goldberg, Vincent Bionell, Veronica, and Angelica, who had temporarily joined the Hwarang Magician Division, were taken away and re-joined into the Thunder Dragon Wizard Division.
If possible, Arya Rothbane wanted to join the wizard, but she turned down Leon’s offer as if she had a plan of her own.
And Mary Goldberg was placed in the position of the deputy commander of the Thunder Dragon Wizards.
The Thunder Dragon Wizards are not simply a military organization.
If we look only at the combat ability, the position of the vice-leader will be Veronica’s, but the Thunder Dragon Wizard is an organization for Leon to escape from the influence of the family and live in the world only with his own position.
The most important ability for the Thunder Dragon Wizard was the ability to run the organization smoothly, and Mary Goldberg was judged to be the most suitable person for that condition.
The distribution of Pure Potion was decided through the Goldberg top, and the first delivery target was, of course, the Kingdom Army led by Princess Ailee Philost.
But there was one problem.
There is not enough manpower to mass-produce Pure Potion.
No, solving the shortage of manpower itself is simple.
It was a simple task to hire an alchemist who had no work to do by using Goldberg’s wealth and connections, and above all, Vincent’s family is an aristocratic family known among alchemists.
The number of alchemists or vassals who gather when called by Vincent Bionell, the eldest son of the Bionell family, is quite high.
The problem was credit.
Pure Potion is a potion developed by Leon and Vincent through their hard work.
Vincent and Lyon did not have deep knowledge in the field of biology, so they had to go through a lot of trial and error to develop Pure Potion.
For example, technology that rapidly divides cells has already succeeded in reproducing it from an early age, but in the process, the genetic information of the subject is damaged and a defect occurs in the recovered body structure, the tumor swells throughout the body, Their lifespan was shortened, and they were quickly aging and dying.
On the other hand, in the case of holy water and water containing divine power, the functions of cells can be programmed, so wearing holy water that promotes cell division could have a positive effect of extending lifespan.
In the process of cell division, the last nucleotide sequences of the nucleotide sequence containing genetic information are not copied but destroyed and damaged.
At this time, in order to protect the information of DNA, the telomeres, which are nucleotide sequences that do not have any genetic code, are instead damaged at the ends of the chromosomes to protect the genetic information.
And holy water creates whole telomeres when replicating cells.
The technology to completely replicate the structure of cells from nothing was the principle of holy water, not just supplying energy to cells or accelerating metabolism.
Leon passed on to Vincent the knowledge he guessed from such a watermelon licking, and Vincent was able to complete the Pure Potion based on it.
He didn’t want to be taken away from others as it was a skill he had worked so hard to perfect.
However, in order to mass-produce Pure Potion, the recipe had to be disclosed to alchemists, and it was difficult to expect the secret to be kept by itself.
So, the idea that came to mind was that Vincent would make only the drugs related to the complete replication of cells, which are the core of Pure Potion, and use alchemists who were hired to make the ancillary drugs that required a lot of work.
Of course, even if such a method was used, in the end, the production of Pure Potion was determined by how quickly Vincent produced the core drug, but for now there was no other way.
And Leon also started to solve the food shortage that was Princess Ailee’s dream.
Pure Potion can make plants grow faster by copying the structure of the cell itself.
If there is a problem, the vegetables and fruits grown through this process are small in size and have no taste or nutrition.
Although the process of creating the structure of the cell by radiation itself will act with the power of Rielin contained in the Pure Potion, the structure itself is made by absorbing the surrounding substances.
The reason for the problem with crops grown with pure potions is probably intelligence.
This is probably because the nutrients in the paddy fields generated through fertilizer are insufficient.
In other words, if the amount of fertilizer was sufficient, it was possible to quickly and safely produce food by growing crops again and again in cramped land without having to go outside the dangerous walls.
And Leon solved the problem using the miners.
The fertilizer used in the Radiant Continent is a material containing a large amount of nitrogen, that is, compost made by mixing feces with straw and rotting.
However, no matter how much human feces or livestock feces are collected, the amount cannot be sufficient.
Except for the problems of the monsters, the food shortage in the Radiant Continent cannot be easily resolved.
But Leon already knew the solution to the problem.
chemical fertilizer.
Ammonia (2NH₃) is synthesized by reacting nitrogen (N₂) in the air with hydrogen (3H₂) using iron powder as a catalyst in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment.
This is an ammonia synthesis method developed in 1909 jointly by German chemists Fritz Haber and Karl Bosch, commonly known as the Haber-Bosch method.
And this has solved the global food shortage for over 100 years.
However, the conditions required for this reaction are an environment of about 500°C and 200 atm.
To save energy, a research team led by professors of the Department of Energy and Chemical Engineering at the Ulsan Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) developed a new ammonia synthesis method called the ball milling method.
It was an innovative method that iron powder catalyzes the production of ammonia with the physical energy that the marbles collide with when 5mm-sized iron beads and iron powder are put and rotated in a low-temperature and low-pressure environment of 45 degrees and 1 atm.
It can even be made with a simpler structure compared to the Haber-Bosch method, which requires a relatively large structure, and at the same time, the yield of ammonia compared to the input iron powder also differed more than three times from 25% to 82.5%.
If so, the important thing would be the supply of iron powder, but that would not be a problem either.
This was because the miners could obtain energy by decomposing metal oxides, so they could ingest rust to make pure iron powder as much as they wanted.
Crops grown at high speed with pure potion would be able to retain sufficient nutrients if only phosphoric acid and potassium were mixed with the synthesized ammonia and used for the intended purpose.
Leon went to her with chemical fertilizer as promised when he first met Princess Ailee.
“The reason crops grown at high speed with Pure Potion do not grow properly is because of the lack of nutrients in the soil. It is the excessive consumption of the intellectual power of the land where crops were grown at high speed, just as a fallow to restore the intellectual power of the land where crops were once harvested.”
“therefore? Is this a drug that restores that intelligence?”
Of course, what Leon prepared was not so grandiose, but perhaps Ailee expressed it in an attempt to help Leon by being conscious of the kingdom officials who watched Leon’s demonstration with her.
Leon smiled and responded with actions rather than words.
Sprinkle fertilizer, turn the ground over with magic, mix evenly, then plant seeds and sprinkle pure potions.
That was enough.
Beets, potatoes, corn, tomatoes, carrots, and grapes all grew in an instant, and vegetables were opened.
Then, after harvesting them all, fertilizer is applied again, the ground is overturned, and the seeds of the harvested vegetables are planted and pure potions are sprinkled.
By repeating the process, he was able to obtain unlimited food.
Even the vegetables grown that way were very fresh and tasty.
“How could this be…”
“It will take a lot of labor because you have to mix fertilizer with the soil every time you harvest.”
“Compared to the yield, that shouldn’t be a problem.”
The food shortage is not a chronic problem unique to the Philo Kingdom.
It is a tragedy that has occurred throughout the Radiant Continent since the invasion of the Demon Realm began.
Everyone knows it’s a problem, but what no one else has been able to solve with the hands of such a young boy.
At the sight of the salivating officials, Princess Ailee looked at Leon with a reddened expression on her face and said:
“Leon, you must be a blessing that God has bestowed on this earth to save mankind.”
Ailee’s expression was grand, but it was sincere without exaggerating her feelings in the slightest.Read at noblemtl.com
Just by witnessing her right next door, she saved the mining city of Aios, succeeded in making a technical agreement with the Philo Kingdom, led the defense of Notos to victory, and even solved the food shortage.
The chemical fertilizers Leon supplied to Princess Ailee were moved to the whole of the Philo Kingdom by the bureaucrats and started to solve the food shortage in earnest.
When the situation turned like that, even the Temple of Water could no longer curse Leon.
The Temple of Water, which suffered a great deal of financial damage from the development and supply of Pure Potion, criticized the developer as blasphemy, as in the past history.
Only the subject was changed from Vincent Bionell to Leon Farostel.
Of course, unlike Vincent’s case, he did not openly criticize Leon.
Since Leon, who made Pure Potion, delivered the first item to none other than Princess Ailee, one of the most powerful people in the Philo Kingdom, no one knew that Leon was behind her.
Naturally, even in the Temple of Water, he could not openly criticize Leon for having such a powerful person behind him.
In addition, when the people of the kingdom raised their voices toward Leon as a ‘blessing given to this earth by the gods of heaven’ in order to save the kingdom by resolving the food shortage, the act of accusing Leon itself is the same public opinion as insulting the heavens. This has been created.
And Leon’s influence did not end there.
Again, the food shortage was never a problem unique to the Philo Kingdom.
A common problem on all continents caused by the invasion of the Demon Realm.
After hearing the rumors that it had been resolved, the Pope of Saint Lane, the Holy Empire, had invited Leon as a state guest.
Leon saw it as an opportunity.
The Holy Empire, Saint Lane, was the land where the most relics gathered among all the countries of the Radiant Continent, so I didn’t know if I would be able to get a useful relic if I did.
Above all, abilities such as the powers of the heavenly gods were of interest to Leon, who had been stagnant due to the recent lack of success in magic training.
