With the tour of the iron tools workshop completed, Alexander then moved on to the next section of the manufacturing complex- the household items. This was where utensils like pots, pans, and cauldrons, cutlery such as knives, forks and spoons, cups and mugs, hinges, locks, keys, and door fittings to name only a few were created. And many of the operations here were similar to the tools making section. For instance, the immense variety of knives, spoons, forks, hinges, and locks were all made…-

The thing about increased production that the other blacksmith was talking about was of course in reality simply economics of scale. As elucidated by Marvin himself, "Roland said it right! It's because previously we used to all work in small shops individually. But here, by working so closely together with each other in this huge workshop, we can just concentrate on just one thing. No need to constantly change our tools or move about. That really saves time." The man did not know it yet but Marvin…

The iron workshop that Alexander was talking about was a brand new complex built inside the western district's restricted 'Industrial Zone'- the place where the magic of Zanzan happened. The premises were completed under Cambyses's supervision with direction from Alexander, who had yet to visit the place due to being away in campaign. He thus found the huge workshop situated next to a few streams, built in a huge new clearing made by cutting down much of the forest where Pasha Muazz used to host…

As Princess Camelia returned to her room, lying on her bed, she understood that her impression of Alexander had changed quite significantly in the short three hours, being morphed into something quite different from what she had started with. She had never expected the demon who conquered her city to have such a funny, amicable side. To her, Alexander had always appeared like a fierce beast, wielding a mammoth flaming greatsword and setting everything she held dear to fire. And like Alexander, his…

As Princess Camelia's move ended, it became Mean's turn to go. "Come on doubles!" The girl could be heard shouting as she shook the two dies in her hands. And then let it rip. The two dice quickly began to spin and spin and spin, using up their stored momentum, until, "Ahhh!" much to Mean's disappointment, one of the dice produced a 1! "*Sigh*, well it was nice playing with you," Thus she casually lifted the dog figure off the board, and then took a large mouthful of drink from the pitcher…

983 Games Night With Alexander (Part-11) "Garden! Come on the Garden." As Gelene rolled her dice between her fingers, she chanted this strange matra, wishing to land there. Because that would enable her to ditch all her excess money. Even though it made no sense for her to do so from a winning perspective since for Gelene to win, she would have to multiply her money by the number of properties and then divide it by 5, but right now that seemed to be her best course of action. By this point, most of…

As Mean moved her piece from the 'King's Chance' to the Dungeon, she lampooned over her luck. To think she would get caught on the 1,000 ropals limit twice in one game. And in the latter case she even possessed the advantage, she had just misread the card. It was not only mortifying, it was also humiliating. Until suddenly a great idea flashed through. She figured she had found an exploit. "Wait! I can give my money away, can't I? That way I won't have a thousand ropals," Saying this she turned…

When Gelene was moving her piece to the dungeon, she suddenly noticed it had landed on the 'King's Chance' space of the board. And seeing it felt like she was seeing the slightest sliver of light in a deep, dark tunnel. 'Maybe one of the cards there can help me! Maybe there is a 'get out of dungeon' card!' She prayed against hope. Thus she quickly pointed that out to Alexander, asking him if she could use that. "......" Alexander did not immediately answer. Instead, he traced his chin, thinking…

Chapter 980 When Cambyses had rolled her dice this turn, at the revealed number, she sounded quite excited. It was because she was near the Palace and Guard's Quarter's squares and thus hoped she could land on the former. She very much looked forward to getting to decide on a rule. She had not thought what exactly that would be, but it would surely be something fun. However, as her counting came to an end, much to her disappointment, she realized she had missed her mark by 2, coming to share the…

With Gelene and Cambyses finally piping down, Alexander finally had the opportunity to declare his verdict on the issue of the application of the former's special power, something the two girls seemed to have completely forgotten. So bringing their attention back to the game at hand, Alexander decreed, "While it is true Gelene's circumstances are special, her piece is also a noble. And in real life, any judgment on a noble can only be meted out by the king. And offering to sell a property to repay…
