Chapter 249: Refrigerator

"Oh my, did you two brats just fall into a mud pit or something?"

Old man Valmot was preparing to go to sleep when he was startled by two mud clumps looming at the door. After looking again and seeing it was the Kaelen and Sane couple, he frowned, speaking up to reprimand them.

Kaelen bared his teeth grinning, taking out a few lotus plants still intact with roots and leaves to place on the doorsill, telling the old man to temporarily soak them in water first, tomorrow having someone plant them down in the river flowing through the tribe.

He handed him some pre-peeled tender lotus seeds again, for him to nibble on as snacks.

"We will return to bathe and rest first, tomorrow morning we will talk with you later. Ah right, lend me back the communication bracelet, I need to adjust it a bit."

The old man handed the bracelet to Kaelen; waiting for the couple to leave, he finally got up to examine the lotus plants they brought back. The color was still that red color, but had lost the rainbow light band on the flower. Perhaps leaving that land the flower plant also lost its spiritual energy.

Valmot also did not demand much. The thing he wanted was simply a beautiful flower species possessing commemorative meaning, not having spiritual energy was also fine.

After he finished soaking the flower plant in water he climbed back into bed to sleep. Not knowing if it was because the lotus fragrance had a spirit-relaxing effect or not, this sleep he slept extremely deeply.

The next morning, except for the people guarding the night before, almost everyone in the Aegis tribe was scared by two giant magical beasts. Sane then placed his hand on their foreheads, shrinking them to the size of a kitten.

Maxwell curiously approached to examine; the two animals bared their teeth in warning. Although their master did not allow them to attack the people in the tribe, intimidating them a bit they still could do.

Maxwell was startled by the magical beasts’ ferocious aura, embarrassedly stepping back. Sane smiled patting his shoulder, saying:

"They are our contracted beasts, without my permission, they will not attack people. Oh right, I need your help with some matters."

Sane held the refrigerator blueprint and the communication bracelet, pulling Maxwell back to the workshop area. Kaelen brought the two beasts to Valmot’s place, telling him some important matters that after awakening his memories he had concluded.

The two of them were too weak, the six children were still cubs, who could they fight. They needed the help of the people of this entire continent.

The couple was busy for two whole days; by the third day they finally had time to make new communication bracelets and reforge two swords. Sane also instructed Zale to send news to Beast City, telling Arthur to assign people to guard the teleportation array spot, ready to receive items the two sent back at any time.

A month later, Kaelen looked with satisfaction at the two swords having new appearances and new functions, clicking his tongue: "If only we had Ignis’s fire how good it would be..."

Sane chuckled: "I bet he would burn you first before forging the swords."

"Hmph! Now I am his Papa, does he dare to burn me?" Kaelen tilted his chin up full of arrogance: "Moreover, I do not believe he eats the food I cook yet still dares to spit fire to burn me. That gluttonous brat even reincarnated still cannot change his bad habits."

Sane smirked, remembering that brat previously almost being swindled into contracting with a human knight just because of a roasted chicken. Fortunately he was a God, because if he was just an ordinary Dragon, he feared by this time he would still be lying guarding his master’s grave.

"Oh right. The refrigerators are finished, do you want to see them?"

Kaelen hurriedly jumped up, sweeping all belongings into the spatial bag: "Let’s go, I want to see how far they can make them!"

Refrigerators had two types, a freezing type and a cooling type.

The refrigerator had four layers: the outer shell layer, the saltpeter water layer, the ice layer in the middle and the hollow layer to store items inside.

The outermost layer used tightly sealed wood followed by a thickly woven dry grass layer to prevent heat escape. Attached to this dry grass layer was a thick-walled monolithic cast iron bin. Next was an iron bin smaller by about ten centimeters, having a base stand underneath so the saltpeter water could cover even the bottom surface.

Finally was an even smaller bin with a similar structure; this innermost bin would be the hollow bin to place food.

On the rims of the bin layers separate lids were fastened; after pouring water and saltpeter water in, waiting for the water in the third layer to turn into ice everyone would use this lid to cover it, avoiding people accidentally touching it and getting frostbite.

Finally was the top lid made of wood tightly fastened with a straw partition layer, hinged at the back to open easily.

The freezer then the distance between the walls was a bit thicker, while the cooler was very thin.

Each refrigerator had a storage capacity of about 300 liters, able to hold a lot of items. From now on, everyone was no longer afraid of food spoiling because they could not finish eating it.

Bertram rubbed his hands, his mood extremely excited: "Chief Sane and we have tested it already, fresh food can be kept cold for at least a month!"

Compared to that rare spatial bag, they preferred items that could be widely popularized, where anyone could save money to buy one like this.

Kaelen was extremely satisfied, but still had to instruct one sentence: "Food is best only kept for a week, kept for too long eating it will breed illness. The cooling system needs to periodically change new water to prevent the old water layer from accumulating scale, reducing the refrigerator’s cooling efficiency."

Bertram nodded, guaranteeing he had remembered clearly.

This time they made three hundred refrigerators. Subtracting one hundred left for the Aegis tribe, Kaelen divided the remaining two hundred storing them in two spatial bags; ten communication bracelets keeping five, two stored in a wooden box, the remaining four kept separately in a spatial bag along with the refrigerator blueprint. The one stored in the wooden box was given to Arthur and Ian for convenient communication, while the other three were for Zale to distribute himself.

Kaelen placed the wooden box containing the three tightly sealed spatial bags underneath, then placed the small box containing the two single bracelets on top, pasting a letter on it. The teleportation array flashed once, the items had disappeared.

On the Northern continent side, the person Arthur assigned to guard the array was nodding off when he was suddenly awakened by the light. After the light extinguished, inside the array appeared two wooden boxes. A guard immediately approached to examine; after seeing the words "Dear Arthur" on the topmost envelope cover, he hurriedly hugged all of them returning to the City Lord’s mansion.

Arthur and Ian opened the letter to read; having just read the first few lines they were wildly joyous, immediately opening the small wooden box taking the communication bracelets out. They had coveted this communication bracelet for a very long time, but unfortunately Kaelen only sent one back, therefore they could only look but could not touch. Now finally achieving their wish, how could they not be joyful.

After putting the bracelet on, Ian immediately installed the magic stone containing Kaelen’s Magical Energy, the signal immediately transmitted. A light beam floated right on the Lac bird’s eye, Kaelen’s image appearing clearly. Ian was surprised rubbing his eyes, thinking he saw wrong.

He gaped looking at Kaelen, stammering: "Priest... Lord Priest?"

[Yeah, it’s me.]

At this moment Arthur also curiously leaned close to look; on the other end of the line, Sane had also leaned his head in here. Two pairs of eyes, big staring at small, a long while later Ian and Arthur finally dared to believe: this communication bracelet could truly transmit even images back!

Arthur took a deep breath, bowing his head to greet the two. In his heart rose boundless admiration for the two leaders of Crimson.

Ian then was even more teary-eyed, sniffing confiding in Kaelen. The signal suddenly showed signs of flickering; Kaelen hurriedly said: [Calling images consumes a lot of magic stones; if unnecessary you should only make normal calls. I wrote the instructions in the letter, did you two not read it?]

Ian embarrassedly rubbed his nose: "We haven’t had time to read it, only remembering how Finnick did it last time so we followed suit. I will learn from experience next time."

Kaelen nodded: [Having the communication bracelet call me frequently.]

Ian nodded: "Yes, I will..."

The image extinguished, the magic stone also turning into dust powder. Arthur and Ian looked at each other, then picked up the letter again, meticulously reading it carefully one more time.
