Count Grano couldn't quite understand everything his youngest son was saying, but he got one thing—these special wheels were perfect for going into farmland!

Sure enough, this was the Magic Conductor machine Viscount Roster mentioned that could massively improve their family's plowing and farming efficiency!

Thinking about this, Count Grano's gaze got even more curious.

He'd seen plenty of Magic Conductors—magic bombs, Magic Conductor swords, ray guns. His family had all that stuff everywhere. But compared to those, he was way more interested in this agricultural Magic Conductor machine.

Farming and military strength—that was the Grano family motto.

And farming was obviously the core. Military strength was just to make sure the family could farm safely and steadily, earn wealth better, protect wealth! Without the fields, without the harvest, what good were all the swords and magical weapons in the world?

Not far away, Roster and a young guy sat on that "tractor," the noise in their ears was huge, but his expression was pretty happy. The machine rumbled beneath them, vibrating with raw mechanical power. "So, how is it? Pretty easy to drive, right?"

This was the first tractor developed in Roster territory. The speed was still pretty slow, the noise was really loud, but it had tons of power. Even wasteland could be quickly cleared, way better than ox-pulled plows, infinitely more powerful than people.

Originally, Roster and the others wanted to develop "Magic Conductor cars," but they discovered they couldn't find suitable materials to make tires. They'd searched far and wide, consulted with merchants from distant lands, but nothing proved adequate for their vision.

All-metal wouldn't actually work on roads.

Once "Magic Conductors from Beginner to Mastery" came out, they were drawn to the tread structure. With just some simple modifications, they made this "tractor."

Honestly, this "tractor" wasn't really suitable for appearing on roads—it had way too many problems. But if used on farms or in mines, it could have unexpected effects.

This time, they came to Grano territory specifically to sell this machine, to completely open up the stage of Magic Conductor machines entering farms.

Count Grano was the biggest grain producer in the kingdom. Once he started using it, what would everyone else think? Pretty obvious.

Of course, just that alone wasn't enough for Viscount Roster to personally make the trip. Having already become Finance Minister, his status was totally different now. It wasn't really appropriate for him to go out doing sales, because everyone would give him face. But this time, he still chose to come out, because he wanted to observe.

Could adapt to tons of environments. Even though this special structure called treads made the overall speed a bit slower and consumed more energy, if it could really adapt to most areas' terrain, that was worth it.

Maybe there'd be a chance to use it in national defense...

The god had already bestowed knowledge of magic power railguns and magic cannons on him. If they built those and installed them on city walls, they could defend freely. So what about installing them on this tractor?

Mobile turrets?

Just thinking about it got him excited.

Naturally he had to come out and investigate himself, check out the situation.

Hearing this, the young guy in the driver's seat suddenly showed a big smile. "Great! Really great! Even though I got scared when I first used it, now I don't feel that way anymore."

Remembering the first time he saw the "tractor," remembering the first time he carefully climbed up, carefully touched each mechanical component—the young guy found it funny.

Back then, he'd even suspected these magic-powered Magic Conductors were demons, that he was entering this demon's belly... When he first started the machine, that vibration sound actually made him break out in cold sweat all over, almost couldn't help wetting himself, thinking he was being eaten by a devil... Those thoughts back then were really cute!

Especially back then, to better get along with this "devil," he'd actually bought the first new pair of shoes in his life.

Just then, he suddenly noticed a group of people in the distance staring at them kind of shocked, watching the tractor he was controlling. The corners of his mouth couldn't help curving up slightly. They were really just like him back then, except he could already skillfully drive these things...

The steel beast followed behind the ox carts and horse carts, constantly approaching Count Grano and the others. More and more people showed fearful expressions after seeing this steel beast.

They couldn't understand why such a huge metal box could move around freely outside. They couldn't understand why this huge metal box could make sounds like that. It was really kind of... terrifying.

Soon, the convoy stopped not far in front of Count Grano and the others. "Count Grano, long time no see. Why did you personally come out to greet me?"

"Viscount Roster, you're the kingdom's Finance Minister. How could the Grano family lack manners?" Count Grano smiled and hugged Viscount Roster. The procedure was exactly the same as noble etiquette.

After some pleasantries, Count Grano finally put his attention on the "tractor." "So this is what you mentioned, the Magic Conductor that can affect farmers all over the world?"

"Of course." Roster smiled. "Just take the excess energy from the self-charging magic array, and this Magic Conductor can operate normally. Mount a rotary tiller on the back and you can plow fields. Install a cargo bed and you can transport goods. Very convenient and versatile. The only issue is it's pretty noisy, but I believe that can be overcome, right?"

Compared to other territories, winning over Count Grano was obviously much easier. For him, as long as something could produce more grain, it was a perfect tool worth doing anything for.

"I wonder, could we see how this... tractor actually plows fields, and what the plowing efficiency is like?"

Count Grano nodded noncommittally. Noise wasn't the issue. What he wanted was efficiency—faster plowing, faster planting, faster harvesting. As long as it could do those things, nothing else mattered, everything could be overcome!
