Chapter 95： Veronica

The management staff of the camp were summoned to discuss the future path in Gao Wen’s camp.

Amber didn't sit very honestly beside Rebecca. From time to time, he twisted around and looked around, as if he was looking for a chance to sneak out. He noticed that Gao Wen had no intention of letting go. I can't help but mutter: "When you have a meeting, you have to meet, why do you have to call me - I don't understand what you said."

"Put your eyes in the line of sight mainly to prevent you from going out to blame others," Gao Wen said casually, then ignored the expression of amber's next moment, and went straight to the topic. "I called everyone, I want to Explain one thing - the crisis has not passed."

Rebecca immediately opened his eyes and stared at Gao Wen: "Ah? We haven't already beaten those monsters?"

"This is the key," Gao Wen shook his head. "We just retired them once, but they won't come again?"

Everyone on the scene looked at each other, and the Norris, the farmer who was first called to this occasion, subconsciously shrank his neck: he was not scared by Gao Wen’s words. In fact, he did not notice that Gao Wen just said What, this simple old farmer just feels that he is here in his own identity and is awkward. Everyone around him is the object he must look up in the past, but now he is all sitting with him, which makes him particularly nervous. .

Hanmer sitting next to him did a good job: although the blacksmith was also a civilian, but because he was responsible for smelting steel for the lord, he had a lot of experience with the nobility. At this time, he seemed calm and calm.

Herti noticed the tension of Norris, but she did not say anything, but followed the topic of Gao Wen: "The ancestor, have you not confirmed the integrity of the magnificent wall? Its self-healing ability..."

"It really has been self-healing, but I'm not sure if it will be bad anymore," Gao Wen said. "You, we have to be clear about one thing - although we have just solved a crisis, it is not completely thorough, A reassuring victory. The magnificent wall is not a god-creation, even if it is a miracle, it is already a miracle seven hundred years ago. This time, the monster that wandered from the wasteland is enough to show that the wall is not Almighty, now the wall is aging, so we have to do it again."

Amber pinched his chin and said, "That's a good way to run..."

"Where did you go?" Gao Wen glanced at the half-elf. "After the collapse of the magnificent wall, the pollution will spread to the whole continent, and again, you think that everyone is like you, a little bit of wind and grass can pull out hundreds. Kilometers, and just find a corner to survive?"

Then he waved his hand: "I remind you, just don't want you to be too relaxed and alert, not to say that the magnificent wall that stood seven centuries is about to collapse - I have confirmed it last time, it is still overall In normal operation, the loophole should be just a 'small problem'. According to the design of the year and the durability of the elf creation, it should not be completely collapsed for at least a few decades, so don't be too nervous."

The crowd was relieved, and the Philip Knights said seriously: "Even if this is the case, our victory will be very lucky - if the number of enemies is a little more, if the effects of those traps are worse, if Those monsters are slightly more fortunate when they trigger the trap, and the result of the battle may be completely opposite. The individual qualities of the distortions are far more than humans, and as the number increases, they are enough to kill the big breath. All the living things in the range, one of them increases, the pressure that the soldiers have to face is more than doubled, our victory...not so reassuring."

The honest young knight said nothing about his inner thoughts, and this is exactly what Gao Wen wanted to say: "Yes, it can't be blinded by this victory. Our camp is still very weak, each On the one hand, now that we have just survived here, it is far from being a firm foothold, so I will bring you all together and talk about my next plan."

Herty cried out curiously: "The next plan?"

“Building walls, accumulating grain, increasing population, increasing steel production,” Gao Wen said as he tapped the table. He first looked at Rebecca. “How is the progress of firing 'cement'?”

"Oh...has not been successful," Rebecca said with a little frustration. "In fact, there is already some eyebrows. I made a very similar thing with a kind of porous rock and clay collected near the iron mine, but I have to find it. The best ratios, temperature and firing time require a lot of testing. This time, almost all the energy is placed on the fired crystal, and the 'cement' progress is very slow."

In other words, I have already seen the dawn?

Gao Wenxin was faintly happy. He looked at Rebecca, who was a little lacking in self-confidence: "Yes, finding the direction is the biggest progress. Your first priority now is to take the time to research the truly usable cement formula, the sooner the better. In addition, the production of 'Rebecca Crystal' can't stop, at least one-third of the kiln is burning at any time, and a group of people are specially selected for washing. The new warehouse in the southwest of the camp is for you, specializing in storing those Crystal."

Said, he looked at Norris again: "What about land reclamation?"

The old farmer stood up subconsciously, but he sat down with some embarrassment. After a few seconds, he sorted out what he had to say: "The east and west sides of the camp have already opened a hundred liters of cultivated land. The sweet wood root and the fire leaf dish, the magic of the Druid master and the potion he has formulated are especially effective, the crops are growing scary, maybe before the frosty month comes, and there is still plenty to feed everyone..."

Gao Wen interrupted Norris's words: "You are the head of agriculture. You don't have to call the same person as your lord. In fact, you don't need to call me like this. Call me the lord or my title."

Norris looked at Gao Wen a little nervously and promised again and again: "Yes, yes Duke... Adult."

The next Pittman squinted: "It’s rare for someone to call me so I can’t keep me cool for two days..."

"Duke of the Duke," Norris said at this time, "There is another thing, I hope you can allow it."

"Just say."

"The land on the north bank of the Baishui River, I hope to open it out," Norris said. "I took people to see the land there. The soil is very good, and there are few gravel. It’s just because I need to cross the river. I didn’t put it in the plan for the opening, but I think it’s good to use it. This time the monsters are coming, many people are worried that the farmers are especially worried about the land on the south side of the White River, if the river is on the other side. If you open one piece..."

Norris said that he stopped here, as if he didn't know how to continue, and his black-haired wrinkled face had a hint of anxiety and anticipation, and Gao Wen quickly responded: "I agree The opening of the North Bank was included in the second phase of the reclamation plan, but before that, you must first build a bridge on the Baishui River. It is not possible to rely on a few wooden rafts... Heti, you record it. ”

"The next step is about the population," Gao Wen said as he looked at Hetty. "What do you think of this?"

Heti put down the dip pen in his hand and thought about it very seriously: "Actually... the easiest thing is to buy a serf, basically born innocent, not so much about loyalty, but it takes a sum of money, and it may not be able to buy Get enough quantity; secondly, accept the displaced people, because in recent years, the southern harvest has been poor, and several small field aristocrats have also erupted many conflicts. Until now, there are still many floating houses without a fixed place. For most nobles The extra population is the burden. The displaced people from other territories are the animals. Therefore, these people live a difficult life in the cracks. They are even cheaper than the serfs.

Speaking of this, Hetty couldn't help but shook his head: "But the problem is also obvious: these people have difficulty finding out the origins, and they are contaminated with many bad habits of stealing chickens and dogs, and let them enter the territory in large numbers. The law and order will become huge. The problem."

The sound of amber suddenly came faintly: "If you follow the law, you can live and work in peace. Most of the rogues and gangsters will try to find a job. They don't like to roll in the gutter before they choose to be a mouse. You think someone will Because I like to steal things and take the initiative to choose a hungry stomach and whip the life of the whip?"

Heti looked at Amber slyly, and for the first time did not give back the words of this half-elf, and Gao Wen said a few words after a few seconds: "You still want to steal my seal the day before yesterday. Throw it out in the tent - so even though you said it makes sense, is it nice to say it yourself?"

Amber: "I will make a joke with you as far as you are!"

"Stop!" Gao Wen immediately waved and interrupted Amber, and said that he was in danger. When he communicated with the shame of this elf, he really couldn’t have a big idea. Maybe you can’t help but change your sentence. Into a big hand, "Amplify the population still needs to plan. Hanmer, let's talk about the progress of the steel side..."

At the same time, in the upper reaches of the Baishui River, a beautiful large ship with the Ansou royal emblem, open three sails, and white painted overall was sailing smoothly on the river, and several boats guarded it.

On the side of the hull of the white ship, you can also see a special mark of pale gold, which is a ring of golden light with two intersecting rays in the ring.

That is the mark of the Church of the Light.

It is not uncommon to hang the royal emblem and the church mark throughout Ansu, so this scene naturally caught the attention of the residents of Tanzan town on the river bank.

The man on the ship departed from the king of Ansu, floated on the Dorgon River for a month, then transferred from the canal tributary to the Baishui River, and drifted for another week. This finally set foot on the edge of the kingdom. Barren land.

This was a hard journey, but no one on the ship complained, because a person who had no need to stand up to this bumpy status on board was also on board, and this person never complained.

On the upper level of the "White Oak" belonging to the royal family, in a dedicated prayer room, the Virgin Princess Veronica, who has the title of "Bright Lady", is slowly opening her eyes.

She has a long blond hair and looks like a three-pointer with her brother Edmund Moen, but it is more feminine and moving. She is always immersed in the light of the Holy Light to give her an incredible holiness and calm temperament, even if She was wearing only a plain white nun costume, and she seemed to be surrounded by an inviolable breath.

A few minutes after the completion of the prayer, this detachment into the breath that does not belong to humans gradually faded from her.

It seems to be the change of breath in the prayer room. The knocking sound is sounding at the moment, and a female voice with almost no emotional change comes from outside: "His Royal Highness, has arrived in Tanzan Town, and wants to see the Viscount Andrew. What?"

The faint gleam of Veronica's eyes gradually receded, and she replied gently: "No, send a messenger in the past. The Lord has given me revelation. I can't stop here. I have to go to Cecil to get there." , there... there is something that the Lord has directed me to see."

The breath outside the door left, Veronica narrowed her eyes, and the light seemed to float out of her eyes again without control.

She closed her eyes completely and entered meditation again.
