In the bleak and cold autumn season, the cold wind blew through the wilderness in the field, and in the clear skies of autumn, no birds flew over.
Farmer Kahn bent over and lifted a heavy shackle, raising his hand and falling down to the wooden trough beside him. The golden bean granules made a satisfying squeaking sound, as if a golden water flowed into the groove and rolled into the burial The granary in the ground, the screaming of the screaming, made the wrinkled man laugh, his eyes creased, and his mouth couldn't help but rise.
“Maple Bean” is one of the last crops that can be harvested in the autumn in the South. With this batch of thoroughly dried beans in the warehouse, all the hard work of the year has a result.
Another winter that won't starve to death. If you are lucky enough to catch up with the nearby factories, you will not be starved to death this winter. There may be several meats in the house every week.
Kahn straightened his waist and rubbed the fine sweat on his forehead. Not far from the newly renovated street, there was a magical car carrying wood. The young man driving the car came out, happy and distant. Someone greeted, and there was light and shadow on the square at the end of the road. It was a holographic projection projected by the magic net terminal.
The magic car and the magic net terminal are incredible new things. It is said that it is not popular in some remote places, but it is a town close to Cecil City after all. The advanced "magic technology" is always More.
Kahn doesn't understand the secrets behind these magical techniques, but at least now he won't be scared when he sees the magic car. He knows that these incredible things are all the lords should now scream. Come, and these things will be more and more in the future, and most of them will come in great use.
Just like the water pump at the river and the mechanical mill at the farm management station is as useful.
In the words of the scholar who often came to teach in the town, "this is a good thing."
Kahn shook his head and licked his slightly sour arm and walked toward the door. He could already smell the right succulent porridge and the aroma of the freshly baked bread, which squirmed his dry stomach after work.
But his movements were interrupted by a strange sound that suddenly came from the sky.
It was a kind of low-pitched snoring, and there was a whistling airflow or something strange in the middle.
He has heard the sounds of various birds and the sound of wind and rain, but he has never heard of similar sounds.
The wrinkled farmer couldn't help but look up and look in the direction of the sound.
In the clear skies of autumn, no birds flew over, but there was a machine made of steel, with a low humming sound across the sky.
"The rich three gods..." The farmer widened his eyes in horror, with an expression of fear or fear, or both, watching the "iron beast" flying over the sky, his lips squirming, The knee couldn't help but tremble, but in the end he didn't lie down at the strange thing. He guessed that it should be a "new thing" made by the smart people in the city. In the past, civilians saw it. "The creation of the Master of the Master" must be squatted, because it is not a terrible magical or synthetic monster, but today's Cecil civilians do not have to kneel down.
"What is that?!"
Kahn muttered to himself, staring at the unimaginable machine gradually disappearing into the sky. He heard the exclamation in the neighboring house, and the sound of things falling on the ground came from the direction of the kitchen. Remind him that what he saw was not an illusion.
It seems that in the next few days, the men in the town have a topic in the pub.
......
In the Office of the Administrative Affairs Office, Gao Wen’s exclusive office, Heti is looking at the holographic picture projected on the terminal of the magic net. The voice of Gao Wen is heard from the ear: “The dragon cavalry i-type needs to be put into practical use. Time, but we can already set out to build a new air force."
New technologies will always be used first in the military field, on the earth, and in this different world. This is to strengthen the military. On the other hand, well-trained soldiers are always the best new technology. Tester.
Herti turned her face and nodded. "The selection of the people has started since the middle of the year. Byron and Philip each selected 50 experienced and daring elite soldiers from their gryphon knights. Formed a reserve team of a total of 100 people, these people still do not know the reason for their selection, but the basic training on mechanical control has been carried out for half a month, if the training machine can be in place in time, these people will soon be able to turn Into the training phase."
“Very good, Rebecca will complete the data sorting and blueprint adjustment as soon as possible. Once the drawings are in place, Nicholas will soon make the practical training machine.”
"It's really hard to believe... we actually made it out," Hetty still couldn't help but sigh. "Free flight... The power of the mid-level wizard is now handed over to the average man by machine. On. Rebecca really did exceed my imagination."
"I said from the beginning that she is a very intelligent child with a talent that others don't have," Gao Wen smiled and shook his head. There was no mention of Rebecca's words on the test site. Anyway, she will be angry with Herti on other occasions sooner or later. "Only the old-fashioned professional system and aristocratic rules have bound her ability, and now... let her let go."
"Your eyes are far more acute than me," Herti laughed. The smile was like an imperial butler who forgot how many budgets Rebecca's lab could burn a month. Then she sorted out her expression slightly. In order to ask seriously, "There is still another thing, the ancestor, Rosetta Augustus's personal letter has been sent for almost a week... Are you sure when you will reply?"
Gao Wen slightly narrowed his eyes, his mouth slightly upturned: "... Rosetta's personal letter..."
There is indeed such a letter from the neighboring Tifeng empire, written by the stalwart Rosetta the Great, sent to the border fortress by the special envoy, and then sent to the city of Cecil by the messenger of the fortress, the letter It’s still lying in the desk drawer of Govin, and the content above...
One-third is a welcoming official guest, one-third is a euphemistic response to the border contest last month, and one-third is a good outlook for the future trade between the two countries.
Friendly, friendly, and revealing the same frankness as the real one, no doubt comes from the hands of an outstanding language master, and has been carefully polished.
As Gao Wen began to anticipate, Rosetta Augustus was a difficult character to deal with. Not only did he have the courage to make a move, but he was able to bend and stretch. In the case of a border breeze, the emperor did not hesitate. The land chose to lower the posture, but it did not help protect the interests of Tifeng.
Not only that, Gao Wen also learned another thing from Daniel's mouth: Rosetta Augustus summoned the imperial aristocracy with military power in the second day of the Changfeng-Winter Wolf Fort, a closed meeting After that, all the military aristocrats remained silent.
The negative impact of the border contest did not spread to the Obsidian Palace. The aristocratic circle of Aldernan was calm. This calm has been maintained until today, and the static people are afraid to make a splash.
Gao Wen once imagined whether he could use the opportunity of this border contest to attack the Wendell family of Tifeng, at least to create some domestic pressure on the young wolf guarding the border, and slightly loosen the huge military group of Tifeng. But it turns out that before all this happened, Rosetta protected all the details that might cause cracks.
In the control of the upper aristocracy, the performance of the Emperor of Tifeng allowed Gao Wen to admire.
"I used to push the import price of textiles by 30%." After a brief silence, Gao Wen smiled and shook his head. "This is of course unrealistic. We are just showing our attitude. I have not expected Rose. Tazhen promised, just replying to the letter... or wait a minute. It’s less than a week. I believe that with Rosetta’s patience, even if he or she can wait for a month or two.”
Herti looked at Gao Wen with some curiosity: "What are you waiting for?"
"Yes," Gao Wen nodded. "I am waiting for the news of the Duke of Berdwin."
......
A week ago, Berdwin Franklin returned to the West.
Now that the situation in St. Sunul has stabilized, and the functions of the capital of the original kingdom are moving southward, he has not been stranded there for a long time, and the West is the most damaged except for the South. The slight area is about to bear the burden of “blood transfusion” in other areas. There are a lot of things that he needs to deal with personally. He will return to Shilin City, where the family has been ruled for generations.
Today, a special visitor visits this border city called the “Trade Capital”, and Berdwin Franklin, one of the imperial eunuchs, will personally receive them.
In the old and solemn family castle, the prince of the Duke, Berdwin walked through the long corridor accompanied by the attendants, and the whistling north wind raged outside the castle, as if immersing the coldness of the silk into the castle. The Duke of Berdwin listened to the whistling sound from the window, and couldn't help but whispered softly: "It has been a long time with Victoria, and it feels cold when you hear this wind."
The close aide next to the responder immediately responded: "Please don't worry, adults, the castle's constant temperature array will block all the cold."
Constant temperature array...
When Berdvin heard the attendant, his thoughts could not help but spread.
I don't know if the "heating system" in the south of the city can be installed in the next ten winters. The technical information is all there, but it is not easy to adapt to the specific conditions of the western environment.
If you can use it, the number of people who die in winter should be much less.
He shook his head and converges to a slightly divergent thought, and the door of the living room was already open before his eyes.
In the loud voice of the attendant, Berdwin walked into the living room, and his eyes were already looking at the figures sitting at the tea table.
There are two dwarfs that are stout but extraordinarily strong. There is a Sven human who looks quite savvy, like a clerk or consultant scholar. He has a red-faced, dark-skinned Red Valley man, Berdwin. The sight of these people was swept away by these people until they finally fell on a petite figure that was not seated and stood not far away.
The latter is seriously studying the crystal magic pendulum used to decorate the room on the shelf.
The figure was covered in a dark blue cloak, and the figure looked quite small. A long gray hair was worn behind the hair, and a pair of pointed ears were exposed between the hair. Because it was a back, it could not see its appearance. It can only be judged from a little side and body shape that this should be a lady.
She seemed to be completely intoxicated by the ingenious magical power, so that she did not respond to the Duke of the West into the room until Paterson couldn't help but open her mouth: "Ms. Wenna, are you interested in that magic?"
The figure in the cloak turned around, and a rather delicate face appeared in front of Berdwin.
Gray skin color, very light color of the barley, the character of the elf character is a gray elf, the gray elf from the Ogure tribe.
"Human crafts are not as refined as silver elves, but they have the creativity that silver elf craftsmen can't match. No matter how many times I look at them, I appreciate your creativity in the art field," the gray elf called Ms. Wenna. The mouth is open, but the voice is elegant and mature that doesn't match the small size. "Duke Berdwin, I am very happy to see that you are still healthy. For the Grey Elves, nothing is more happy than seeing your business partner still healthy. It is."
"I am the same," said Berdwin Franklin with a sincere smile. "A healthy body can maintain a healthy business, isn't it?"
"Frankly, I really worried about it for a long time after hearing the rumors about the Ansu civil war and the natural disaster."
"Now it should be called Cecil Empire, Ms. Wenna."
"Ah, Cecil empire... This legendary surname, I have a chance to see the pioneer, I was a child in his active years," Gray Elf Wenna shook her head. "But these are a little Let's discuss it later, my friend, we are here today, I want to take a look at the 'new business' you mentioned."
"Of course," Bai Dewen laughed and clap his hands, and immediately the attendant carried several boxes into the room. "I have prepared the samples and sincerity."
“We are very much looking forward to the impressive alchemy pharmacy that you showed us last time. What will this be?”
“Some of the more essential necessities of life,” Bai Dewen’s smile and words are full of affinity. “From the distant Tifeng Empire, for the western part of the continent, that’s really exotic.”
