Chapter 26

"Young master, I'll ask what's going on." Mina took out her military knife and quickly walked forward. She wouldn't allow any existence that would harm the young master. After a short while, she waved her hand to show Lucas that he could come forward.

"What's the matter?" Lucas frowned and asked, looking at the noisy crowd. He had an ugly expression.

"Young master, they insisted that they must see you." James said respectfully.

He wasn't afraid at all. It was Lucas who gave him the authority to supervise this valley. No one can go in or out unless they have a warrant(notice). This was a top secret valley.

"Lord Lucas, we succeeded. We succeeded in making mud to brick technique." The person who took the lead was an old man while holding a brick in his hand.

Lucas knew the old man. He was a relatively good brick mason in Sedona City. People called him Head Craftsman Mark and Lucas had recruited him to craft something.

"Oh? It really succeeded?" Lucas's eyes lit up, and he asked quickly, "Where is it, take me to see it."

"Lord Lucas, it's here!" Head Craftsman Mark put down the brick in his hand and said excitedly, "Lord, we didn't eat your food and meat for nothing."

This sentence made Lucas understand why Head Craftsman Mark and the others were so excited and in a hurry to see him.

Head Craftsman Mark and the others felt like they were in heaven for the past few days. They had large steamed buns and large pieces of meat to eat everyday. It was much better than their previous lives where they had to eat only one time in a day.

They were afraid that if they didn't make the thing that Lord Lucas had requested them to, which would disappoint him, and they would be kicked out, which means that they wouldn't be able to eat the steamed buns and meat.

After spending these few days nervously, Head Craftsman Mark and the others finally made the thing called cement. They had also tried to put the two bricks together with cement according to the method Lucas said before.

Then they stupidly stared at the 2 bricks for the whole night and went to pull the bricks in the morning. They found that the 2 bricks really became 1, which made them crazily happy and they quickly carried the brick to find Lucas.

Lucas squatted down and looked at the bricks that were connected by the cement. He touched it with his hand and said, "James, smash it open."

"Yes." James held a brick and smashed it at the large brick. The brick finally got separated after many smashes, and one part was still glued to cement.

"Wonderful." Lucas smiled with satisfaction. Although the cement created was soil cement, it was still something ahead of the current era. For infrastructure madmans, cement was one of the necessary items.

Head Craftsman Mark and the others were so happy that they had tears on their faces. They didn't disappoint Lord Lucas, which meant that their large steamed buns and large pieces of meat were safe.

"Very good, what kind of reward do you want? You can speak it out. I'll listen." Lucas said generously.

Head Craftsman Mark and the others looked at each other and smiled. It seemed that they had already discussed it.

"The reward we want is to be your servant." Head Craftsman Mark and the others shouted in unison.

"Presumptuous!" James scolded coldly.

In his opinion, there were too many people who wanted to be servants for the young master. And for a craftsman to become young master's servant, it was a bit too much. Everyone in Sedona City knew that being young master's servant was the best job, without needing to worry about food or clothing.

Head Craftsman Mark and the others quickly knelt down. They knew that this request was a bit excessive. After all, as servants, Lucas would be the one who would have to raise them. Of course, their lives would be Lucas's.

Lucas smiled helplessly. These people were too simple. As long as they had food to eat, they would gladly give their lives. "Okay, I agree. As long as you work hard, then you can eat as much meat and steamed buns as you want."

In fact, they were basically Lucas's servants the moment they walked into this valley. They were just formally becoming servants right now. After all, cement was one of his secrets.

"Yes, we will work hard." Head Craftsman Mark and the others said respectfully.

"Very good. Expand the output of cement. I will need a lot of cement in three days." Lucas said. "Also, the safety procedures must be done well. No one can take off the mask."

"Yes!"

"You're dismissed," Lucas waved his hand to let them leave. Today was a happy day. With the creation of soil cement, he would begin to transform Sedona City. "Let's go to see the other thing." Lucas smiled and walked to another courtyard.

When the two came to another yard, they saw many shelves in the courtyard with things drying on them.

"Lord Lucas has arrived." someone with sharp eyes spotted Lucas and called out.

Seven or eight people ran over immediately and respectfully saluted Lucas.

"How is it? Are there any results?" Lucas said, looking at the things that were basking in the sun.

"Lord, the first batch has already come out and is being cut into shape." someone said respectfully.

"Very good, bring it over and let me take a look." Lucas's eyes slightly lit up.

Someone immediately ran into the house and soon came over with a large pile of things.
