Chapter 82

There's a saying that goes, men can never understand the importance of a piece of clothing to a woman.

I'm afraid every man on Earth knows a famous quote: a woman's wardrobe is always missing one piece of clothing.

Clothes, to women, are as important as life itself. They are enthusiastic about changing clothes, coordinating outfits, and loving beautiful clothes.

This is also true in Plandar.

In the very poor Ellington, how difficult is it for a girl to get a few nice pieces of clothing? Probably as difficult as Tang En wanting to open the best alchemy workshop on the continent here.

Those clothes are among the things they love the most, care about the most, and value the most. They were willing to give their favorite things to make Tang En happy, but he not only didn't appreciate it, he even tore up the clothes they kindly gave him to "use"!

How can this be tolerated!

How can this be forgiven!

Poor, naive Tang En never realized they had misunderstood him, which led to this big misunderstanding.

"If you don't want to help me with the work, just say so, why are you all crying... "

Tang En mumbled. Since no one else was around, he didn't bother to tear the clothes by hand; he directly used wind magic to lift the clothes and instantly shredded them into pieces.

After putting all the pieces into his bag, Tang En slipped out of the lord's mansion.

"Big brother!"

Tang En was taken aback and smiled, "Eliya, Elsa, why are you here?"

Eliya ran to Tang En's side, climbed onto his shoulders, and pouted, "You ignored me after you came back!"

Tang En patted Eliya and smiled, "I've been busy... If you have nothing to do, come with me for a walk. I'm just about to do something interesting."

"Interesting thing!" Eliya's eyes lit up, "Sure, sure!"

"Eliya is really quite clingy to you."

Elsa stared straight at Eliya, a bit jealous.

Tang En asked curiously, "Don't the guards need to train today?"

"My father came back, and he seemed quite interesting, so he insisted on taking my shift for a day."

"Mr. Aberdon?"

Tang En was taken aback, "He's back from the mountains?"

Although he had only met him a few times, Aberdon left a deep impression on Tang En, as if there was some secret about this man.

"That's right... What does the lord plan to do? I have nothing to do, can I come along and watch?"

"Of course."

Tang En smiled and led Eliya and Elsa towards the charcoal factory.

To support the production of the charcoal factory, a new logging site was built next to it. If a paper factory were to be built, it would likely be around the logging site, while also maintaining a distance from the charcoal factory.

After getting a log from the logging site, Tang En led them into a small forest.

"This place is quite flat, let's do it here."

Tang En put Eliya down and said with a smile, "Don't run around."

"Lord, what do you plan to do?"

"Make paper."

"Make paper!?"

Elsa was surprised, "Here? How do you make paper?"

"You'll see soon."

Elsa was a trustworthy person, so Tang En didn't deliberately hide his abilities from her. With a wave of his hand, a large log appeared in the air.

Elsa looked at the log dumbfounded, completely unaware of the relationship between papermaking and the log.

Normally, it would take several days to soak and break down the wood, but with magic, it wasn't so troublesome. Tang En casually pulled a large water ball around the log, and the water pressure caused by his powerful magic forced the water to penetrate the wood. The water then began to rotate violently, and the log visibly shrank, and the water ball became murky.

"This, this is..."

Elsa thought to herself, indeed, the lord claims to be an alchemist, but he is clearly a magician!

However... a magician's power is so great?

Could it be that he is a dual-practitioner, with his main profession being a warrior?

The simple-minded Elsa didn't think too much about it; she was just curious about how Tang En would make paper.

At this moment, Tang En took out the shredded pieces of clothing and threw them into the water ball. The fabric pieces couldn't withstand the rapid rotation of the water and were quickly crushed.

In fact, using wind magic could more perfectly crush these materials, but without water immersion, the dry wood might catch fire when torn by wind magic, so Tang En ultimately chose the water grinding method.

With his powerful magic, in just a few minutes, there were no solid objects left in the water ball, and the entire ball had turned into a murky liquid.

Tang En lightly waved his hand, and a hot flame appeared around the water ball, enveloping it. In no time, the water ball began to boil.

After boiling, the fibers were completely dispersed, turning into brown pulp and emitting a foul odor.

"Too bad..."

Tang En looked regretful. If he had collected chlorine gas during the electrolysis of saturated salt water, he could have used it to bleach the pulp, resulting in white paper. Now, he could only make yellowish paper.

But it wasn't too late to find a solution. Although he didn't have pressurized storage equipment, he did have crystal bottles for storing gases.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I need to find something for the workshop to do when I get back."

Tang En shook his head and waved his hands. The water ball began to stretch, and the pulp was lifted by magic, more evenly than if it were pressed by a flat plate. Then, with a wave of his right hand, the water in the pulp was completely separated, completing the filtering and dehydrating steps in an instant. A large, fresh, yellowish sheet of paper appeared in the air.

Tang En smiled, surprised at how easily he could recreate the papermaking process using magic. The steps were quite simple, and once a simplified machine was created, even ordinary people could use it to produce large quantities in a short time!

And he finally had toilet paper to use!

These papers were quite primitive, suitable for writing, but to achieve the smooth and flat quality of modern paper, additional materials would be needed, such as gel to make the paper smoother and prevent ink from spreading, or talcum powder to make the paper smoother...

Tang En wasn't very familiar with papermaking, knowing only the basics he had seen online, but so what?

The most important thing was that he had soft toilet paper to use!

"Really, really made it!"

Elsa's eyes widened; she was still in shock. How did the wood and fabric pieces in the water ball suddenly turn into paper?

"What kind of magic is this!?"

"This isn't magic... it's just a simple physical change, uh, don't worry about it. In short, everyone in Ellington will soon be able to use paper."

"Big brother is really amazing!"

Eliya was left in awe of Tang En, seeing him as all-powerful.

Tang En was very happy, finally no longer suffering in the bathroom.

Although his status as a lord allowed him to use more expensive items to clean himself, those items weren't really comfortable...

Using fabric, Fiona would probably talk to him about it in a few days.

"Lord, and this water..."

Tang En turned his head and saw the foul-smelling wastewater still floating in the air. If on Earth, the only way to handle such wastewater would be to let it settle, filter it, and then discharge it into rivers and lakes.

But this was Plandar.

Tang En chuckled and drew a few mysterious runes in the air, and a tiny spatial rift suddenly appeared.

As soon as the spatial rift appeared, a scorching heat hit them, and Elsa and Eliya took several steps back, breaking out in a sweat.

"Lord?"

"Stay still."

Tang En said, and the large water ball, under his control, drilled into the spatial rift, which he then closed.

"What was that just now?"

Tang En casually said, "A spatial portal to the Fire Elemental Plane."

Indeed, the solution Tang En thought of for the wastewater was to throw it into the Fire Elemental Plane. Among the four elemental planes, the Fire Elemental Plane was probably the best place to handle such wastewater. The endless space there was always burning with flames and boiling with lava. The wastewater would instantly vaporize upon entering, and even the impurities would evaporate completely.

Burned dry and clean, simple and quick, and completely pollution-free. Was there a more convenient method?

At least Tang En couldn't think of one.

Although discharging wastewater into the Fire Elemental Plane might anger the fire elementals, for now...

Before thinking of another solution, he would just make do with this. After all, with Plandar's current industrial level, the pollution wouldn't be so severe as to attract the attention of the fire elementals... right?

Elsa didn't know much about magic, so she didn't understand the terrifying power of casually opening a portal to the Fire Elemental Plane. She only felt that Tang En was very, very powerful. As for how powerful... she didn't care.

"Here, I'll give you some of this paper."

Tang En casually waved his hand, and the large sheet of paper was neatly cut into smaller pieces and stacked. One stack flew to Elsa's face.

Elsa waved her hands. "Eh? Eh eh? I don't need paper, I don't write anything..."

"Who said you had to write?"

Tang En looked puzzled, "This paper is for you to use in the bathroom to clean yourself."

Elsa's face turned red instantly. She never thought the lord would be so... so vulgar!

How could he say such things so casually!

"The lord is really too much!"

Elsa grabbed the paper, pushed Tang En away, and ran off, covering her face.

What the heck!

With a loud "boom," Tang En, who had been thrown, crashed through several trees and fell to the ground, looking bewildered. What did I do wrong!

"Eliya, what did I do wrong?"

"Nothing, big brother is the best!"

Tang En was moved to tears, "Indeed, Eliya is the best!" === PS: Well... whether in a different world or in ancient times, having toilet paper is really important... Vote!
