He asked the butler to get him som charcoal, sulfite and saltpeter .
Few minutes later he heard a knock on the door Crowley went to open the door after he faced him and said ' lord I present to you the master alchemist akanay'.
The so called master alchemist seemed young and He was a from a race of Cats known as khajit or Catmans for the common people.
It's surprising but not unusual as long as their interests doesn't conflict with each other they can work operate and be an alliances his former family Pendragon in notoriously known for their alliance with white dragon and their sub species.
While sitting ' I humbly welcome you in my barrony alchemist akanay I hope you will like it here please seat'.
The alchemist after saluting the baron and sitting 'it's a pleasure to work for you baron'.
So after been done with the wolcomin and greetings you gestures to Crowley to make sur no-one is around after few seconds he ' their is known who can eardrops on us'.
Hearing this Damien started talking 'first I would like to ask about the potion that you could make honerd alchemist'.
Akanay fixed his posture and with pride in his voice' I can make low level healing potion that heal all non threatening life injuries,mana potion for magician to help in their meditation, aura potion to help knight advance their aura meditation and any first level potion of the formula is available and with enough ingredients to try after succeeding I can guarantee at a least a 30% chance of success after that'.
Hearing Damien smiled at least for the time being of he collected the ingredients he can satisfy the need of his knight and warrior to advance.
He said ' I am happy to hear this but first I have a special job for you master alchemist one which will determine how high you and me can ascend in this world I want to make a powder which we will call gunpowder which I had the chance to create but I can't recall the exacte formula but i know it's three portion of one element and two portions of the second and last 1 portion of the third element so you will responsible to determine the right way using the ingredients in fron of you to make but you have to be crafull because he explode'
After hearing what you wanted and looking at the ingredients he felt relieved after all is better than asking him to make a new miracle potion due to the rumours he heard about the baron.
Then he said 'i would happily my lord do it but first a think a would a workshop where to make my experiment 🧪 '
He felt like Iike a train hit him how he could forget about something like this he really should start writing his project and their progress and resources used by it.
damn first day on the job and he already need an assistant but where to fin one and loyal one at that he could make him a vampire which will make home unable to betray him.
but that way he will lose one of the five slots he has at the beginning maybe later down the road but not now so thinking only Crawley can fulfill that role for now he should ask him later to promote someone to the role of vice butler so he coul be his full time assistant.
Sighting he said' I will see to it that the workshop get build in the next few days in the meantime I will ask butler Crowley to reserve for you a room in the castle where you can experiment on to find the exact doses so we can mass produce it'.
Then he face the butler 'Crowley please see to it that a room be ready by tonight and ask Jean to chose a secluded patch of land near the castle where the alchemy workshop would be built and next to it workshop for making weapons to built in the next few days and also to recrute a few apprentices to help with work after testing and making sure they are loyal as for salaries he should start with the normal wages to be increased later'.
After bowling he answered 'i would see to it immediately '.
Then akanay ' I would excuse myself in order to start working on the formula lord'.
He gestures at him to leave and said ' good luck akanay I have high hope for you and also reward for you if you succeed '
He said ' I will definitely succeed my lord' and left.
It will be a some time before Crowley come back with the blacksmiths so Damien started drawing a blueprint firstly of a musket with a flintlock as he was drawing it and every part like the bayonet how long and wide is the barrel and so on and naming them he found that he memory of the first life is quite vivid and he could remember things like he is watching them now this probably also a perk of being a vampire.
he really should make a time every day to test his power by basing it on what he know about vampire in his old world and collecte any Book that about blood sucking creatures.
Then he went to draw the main thing and what he will be a game changer the cannon artillery the king of the battlefield if used wisely.
So he begins drawing a cannon from the 15th century he will and should start with 4 pounder and 9 pounder as field artillery like the lion Gustavus Adolphus king of Sweden.
As for siege artillery he opet in the beginning for the Turkish bombard until the blacksmiths has become more familiar with the process of making cannons .
then later he will describe at them the path and they will have to find the path to achieve what he wants from them after all he isn't a scientist and at same he is a lord and he has a territory to govern and make it prosper and if chance and opportunity allow it make bigger.
So after making the blueprints he needed and drunk his glass of blood he heard a knock after which Crowley come in with the blacksmiths.
