Red Clay Technical Services: Mercenaries, Magicians, and Marketing

Bobby likes Pabst Blue Ribbon, NASCAR races, and throwing fireballs. A through and through Georgia boy, raised down in the sticks but now working with all things mystic. He is, in other words, a magician. Not just any magician- but one bound by the most egregious of terms: business contracts. See, a long time ago, Bobby got himself involved with a dragon whose business was making magicians, and Bobby wanted magic to be his business. Both of them having common interest, Bobby agreed to sign over his services in exchange for phenomenal (draconic) magic. A pretty awesome deal, right? The contract put him at the top percentage of human magicians, on top of having the backing of a dragon patron, and a fantastic set of benefits befitting an esteemed contractor, so it'd be smooth sailing from then on, right? Not so. That kind of power isn't granted without strings attached, and Bobby's practically bound up in them. Following the esoteric laws set forth by magicians , juggling them with the mortal interests he still has to abide by, and finding himself at the beck and call of a fickle and opaque patron makes his life as a magician a rollercoaster of ups and downs. But when his patron sets him on a strange task- with stranger company, no less, even Bobby has to question what his mission really is. Delving into fantastic crimes and cracking open mysteries is just the least he can do, and he'll do it with the help of his gun, his wand, and his trusted allies both large and small. --- Cover art pending. Chapters released on a semi-regular basis, at least one every two weeks, sometimes more. Also published on Scribblehub, Royal Road, and Offprint under the same title! You can find me on Discord here.

AiKen: That Wolf Guy from Another World

Terada Kenji, a hotheaded jerk who couldn't care for anything in the world - is dropped into this strange world after a freak accident. Told to seek out the woman with the fire orange eyes, he wanders the world, trapped in this wacky adventure that he really didn't sign up for. Though, that doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy it. He's a psychopath by all accounts, and is only held down by his humanity. Thankfully, the world's taken that from him, as he's been merged with his own pet. Transformed into a Beast Human, the meld between man and animal, Terada has unlocked the path to dominating this nightmare of a universe. Joined by an elf with an obsession for knowledge, a vampire who's lost her self identity, and a jester with no one to entertain, Terada uses those who claim to be his companions for his own gain. Only saving them for later use. After all, why throw away something that's still functional - and even more - useful? The history of this shredded world seems to follow him everywhere, however. The more he stays, the more he realizes that this place is more and more of a dystopia. Joy is a very rare delicacy between the people inside borders, and the woman Terada's been sent to follow seems to have an interesting past. The locals whisper about the rumored second coming of evil itself - speaking that the woman with fire orange eyes, Malice, will return with the power of Ahriman. All the World's Evils. Terada must uncover the secrets of this place before he fulfills his supposed destiny - but not without destroying everything in his wake. Why? Well... For fun, of course.

There were several advantages of the mud grinding process in the production of the purple clay teapot. First of all, the mud grinding process could improve the smoothness and malleability of the mud strips, allowing the various components of the raw materials to be evenly mixed to form fine and tough mud strips, which was convenient for subsequent processes such as drawing and molding. Secondly, during the mud grinding process, the uniform mixing of the mud could make the mud compact, thus ensuring the firmness of the pot body and avoiding cracking and distortion of the finished product. In addition, the mud grinding process could also improve the air tightness of the purple clay teapot, ensuring that the teapot body was tight and seamless, achieving the key step of good air tightness. The mud grinding process not only gave the purple clay teapot a unique artistic charm, but also increased the value and ornamental value of the purple clay teapot.

The twisted clay teapot was a decorative teapot made of two or more different colors of purple clay. The mud twisting process was to stack and embed different colored purple sand mud strips according to the design requirements, then cut them into multi-colored mud pieces, and then knead and pat them according to the teapot making procedure to finally make the purple sand teapot. This kind of craft formed irregular lines with strong contrast on the purple sand teapot body, which perfectly showed the author's decorative intention, fully displaying the simplicity and elegance of the purple sand and the aesthetic taste of the Chinese people. The traditional methods of mud grinding included embedding, wrapping, penetrating, layering, and so on. The twisted clay teapot had a rich and varied texture, such as flying clouds, colorful clouds, etc., giving people a strong visual impact like a dream, which was very aesthetic.

The clay clay teapot was suitable for brewing green tea, Tieguanyin tea, oolong tea, black tea, cooked tea, and aged tea. Green tea was suitable to be brewed in a clay clay teapot because the clay clay teapot was light and suitable for brewing green tea. Tieguanyin tea could be brewed using a high body tube (such as a well column) of a clay teapot, while raw oolong tea was suitable for the light roasted oolong tea series. Black tea leaves were also suitable to use the purple clay teapot because the purple clay was loose and could absorb the bad taste of black tea leaves. At the same time, the high pot shape also had the effect of stifling bubbles. Cooked Pu 'er tea was also suitable for using the clay clay teapot, but it was necessary to pay attention to the fact that the color of the tea was too strong, which might cause the clay to spit out black. Finally, the aged tea was suitable to use the clay clay teapot, which was light yellow in color and could restore the inner content and original taste of the aged tea.
