Chapter 108 (2/2)

[The blueprint for an to explain

[I've given it quite a lot of thought last night I also wondered if there is a good way to do this Magic beasts, especially those with low intelligence such as the buffalo ic beasts, are really hard for doe area where they live on]

That said, Ares tapped on the blueprint

[Borrowing Gilbert's wisdoic barrier It runs on ic stones… which we fortunately can produce]

Ares' plan was as follows

The southern part of Grants is a vast land It's lected because the soil was not suitable for farmland

[It's that kind of land, but fortunately, it's the kind of place that the buffalo ic beasts would likely to inhabit]

So Ares went to inspect the land There were plants growing there, but not the kind that can be sold forthe buffalo de to do… is to use this device to confine a large aic beasts in that land and treat it as soic beasts are capable to adapt to various environh reproduction rate They should have no proble their number even without any aid Also, with the barrier device in action, their natural eneic beasts, wouldn't be able to endanger them, which in turn should bolster their reproduction rate

[Then, we could hire professional adventurers or hunters to 'harvest' the buffaloits meat Then what's left is to process it and shi+p it]

The horns and the pelts will belong to the guilds while the meat will be processed and sold to various places

[Well, they cannot be bred nor the et used to But the profit should be great, if we can uarantee a stable supply]

George showed his support to Ares' plan

[This can certainly become a local specialty We should ask Fran to co the beasts… Should we ask the guild to do it?]

After this, the ic beast would earn the title of [Platinuastronoroan for one reason or another It immediately became one of Grants' specialty products…

Ares said there was another thing he would like to show on today'sout a bootle

[Milord… and this is?]

[Un, booze of course]

[What? Booze? Should've gotten it out sooner]

Ares ignored Darius' co it noant to see everyone's reaction to it]

While saying so, Ares poured the booze to the elasses

[Hoo… it certainly looks pretty]

The alass It reflected and glistened prettily under the light

[It uses wheat as the rawHowever… don't try to drink it all at once like you usually do with ale]

Everyone was alaruzzled down the entire content of his glass

[Wha…what is this? This… is terribly strong… not even the 『Dwarven Fire Breath 』is this strong…]

Coughing after sipping it, Ramires commented on the new booze

『Dwarven Fire Breath』is currently the strongest liquor in the Arcadia Continent Originally, it was liquor the dwarves made for themselves It IS the dwarves' favorite liquor, but heavy drinkers also favor it for the strong alcoholic content and the mellow aroma

And Ares actually introduced to theer than that

[However… it's rant than dwarven liquor… and the taste isthe booze one more time

[It can be diluted ater, perhaps?]

Tobias, the recently appointed coested

[This liquor is…]

[It's distilled spirit]

There were two types of liquor most commonly seen in the continent

Ale rapes

There was also a kind of liquor et

And then, there is the liquor created by the high alcohol enthusiast dwarves, the『Fire Breath』

But this ti different

[We can increase the alcohol content further by『distilling』it If we put it inside a keg and deposit it for quite a while, the scent will also becoestion

[Milord… if we can have both the McDohl company and the Shawd coreat ripple]

Now, McDohl coether in a business alliance Both can help spread the booze tothe capital

[Let them help fund the production and promotion I'll also ask Fran to prepare for ht be able to circulate it a the aristocrats in advance If they like it, we can also find customers via reservation]

After that, Ares' 『Distilled Spirit』would then be circulatedthe aristocrats and merchants by only the Mcdohl or Shawd companies When the rumour spread, the reservation for Grant's [Phanto in
