Digging a pit is physical work, but digging a huge pit is engineering.

Cecil first asked the flame goblins to make two hundred shovels. Fortunately, there are such things in this world, as well as saws and axes.

This should have been a simple matter, but the flame goblin spread his hands: "There is no iron."

Cecil: "..."

Therefore, the group had to wait until the end of March, when Toto port delivered the seeds and iron materials. Before that, Cecil still asked everyone to dig holes and cut trees in various ways.

Oakes didn't understand Cecil's artificial lake at all: "It's not enough to just dig a hole, why do we need to lay hardwood?"

"To prevent water seepage." Cecil didn't bother to explain, "When did I cheat you?"

"A lot of times." Oakes muttered, but he didn't stop what he was doing.

Every day, either digging a hole or cutting a tree, Cecil was so tired that he fell asleep on the hole when he returned home and fell unconscious.After going on for a while, he found that the muscles on his arms were swollen, his hands were covered with thick calluses, his skin was dark, and he was completely local.

In sharp contrast to him, the knights are still white and clean. These gay guys, including the combat knights of the legion, waste a magic bit on sunscreen every day. The magic that directly makes the skin fair is too advanced, they will not, But sun protection is indeed a practical rather than a cosmetic magic, and the level is not high, so many people are willing.

This sun protection magic is comparable to physical sun protection, and you will never get a tan.

After finishing the day's work, Cecil was stopped by Langdon: "You are too dark."

"People get dark when they get sunburned." Cecil said dumbfoundingly, "It's nothing. If you don't get dark, you have to worry about skin cancer."

"What is cancer?"

"It's a terminal illness, but don't worry, you won't get it." Just kidding, what kind of cancer is afraid of eating the existence of nuclear power furnaces raw.

"After all, I'm not human." Langdon smiled and ran his fingers across Cecil's cheek, soft as a breeze, while whispering a spell.

When Cecil was still in a daze, he found that the skin on his hands was gradually getting lighter and whiter.

"It's too wasteful!" Cecil, who understands the reason, also felt a little distressed. This is not a low-level sun protection magic. "You can build a room."

Langdon laughed, took Cecil's hand and said, "You deserve it, I like you the way you are."

Cecil couldn't stand such words. He greeted everyone the next day with joy in his voice. Oakes and Russell looked at him as if they were fools.

At the end of March, the wheat seeds finally came, along with a large amount of iron ore and coal. When the flame goblin saw it, he yelled, "Why not refined iron ingots?" Syl asked coldly, "Have you created anything so far?" before shutting up.

A few hours later, the foundry furnace that had been idle until now was finally lit. The flame goblins first danced around the furnace, and then wept and expressed their praises. Some wanted to stick their heads into the furnace—attention, It's the Great Hearth, the central hearth of the whole foundry—a madness that makes even the others jealous!

The madness of the flame goblin disappeared under Cecil's powerful insults, and the goblins began to cast shovels with tears. With the appearance of the shovel, the digging project finally officially started.

Cecil also got another message: "What does it mean that you can't save the seeds?"

The Ebo farmer who was inspecting the seeds said: "These are magic seeds with a high survival rate, but the harvested seeds cannot grow if they are planted again."

What the fuck?

Cecil was dazed for a while before asking: "Is there any seed that can be saved?"

"It seems to be there." The farmer thought for a moment, "But the seeds don't grow well, the harvest is not enough, and the seedlings don't grow well."

Cecil was mentally prepared: "How did you grow it?"

"Dig a hole in the soil, put the seeds down, cover the soil, and after the rainy season, water once a week when you can be naked, and once a month when you need to wear clothes." Such a long land can support a grown man like me."

What the hell is this?This kind of seed can be harvested, so it can only be said that the magic seeds are indeed powerful, and it is estimated that the drought resistance ability has been strengthened through magic, but if they cannot keep the seeds, it is simply leaving the lifeblood in the hands of the magician!

Still have to find a way to find some normal grain, Cecil made a secret decision, this year can only do so first.

Cecil asked the knights to blow up the original poor houses in Ebo, and some Ebo people who were willing to come back and settle down were assigned to the original noble houses, and he was going to give up the rest to the Serling people who were willing to live here.

Ebo can't accommodate 2 people, and Moon City can't do it either. It is necessary to build a new city. However, as a future commercial transfer station, Ebo will rebuild the city wall and move the fields outside the city.The soil quality in this area is excellent, but water is needed. After the snow melts, all the water is soaked into the ground. Well drilling can meet daily life but not agricultural water.

At this time, the artificial lake in Ebo is particularly important. It will not only store water for planting, but also consider fish farming and rice planting, which are important economic crops.Besides, Cecil wants to open up the mountain range on the other side of Ebo in the future, so that he can cross the Luofeng Mountain Range without going through High Court, which will save at least two months of travel by land. There is something that the hunter must produce-dynamite.

"Your plan looks beautiful, how many years will it take to realize?" Russell frowned after listening to Cecil's description.

"I want to finish it within five years." Cecil said, "It's best to dig the artificial lake before the rainy season. It doesn't have to be paved with hardwood, but I hope to dig it out."

"How is it possible!" Oakes shouted, "Your plan can be completed within 20 years."

This is about the same as Cecil expected, but he will not compromise easily: "In two years, all the projects except the tunnel will be completed."

Oakes asked, "Using magic?"

"No." Cecil replied firmly.

"Tch!" Oakes made a mocking voice.

Cecil said calmly: "I know it's difficult, but it's not impossible to do it, just a bunch of people."

"Who? The Sirians?" Russell asked. "How much are we going to pay them?"

"No." Cecil hesitated, then looked at Langdon, "Moyer said that he knew some underground people..."

Before he finished speaking, Langdon stood up and said to Moyer, "Get out."

Moyer, who was boastful in front of Cecil, went out without saying a word like a grandson. Before going out, he still winked at Cecil and was pushed by Oakes.

When there were only two people left in the room, Langdon said in a kind tone, "What did Moyer say to you?"

"It's nothing, it means that he knows some people who only work for money. He said that if I don't feel at ease, I can pass O'Casey's appraisal." Cecil thinks he is not that stupid, and he has considered all the risks involved, " These people can come and help for a fee.”

Langdon didn't seem angry, and asked calmly, "Did you ask about the price?"

"I've asked." Cecil felt hopeful, and tried hard to persuade, "We can afford it. I've calculated it. It's enough to add some loans to the current cash flow."

"Moyer promises these people won't do anything wrong?"

"O'Casey will supervise when he comes."

Langdon smiled slightly: "You seem to have considered it very carefully."

Cecil secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "I will think about it too."

"Then do you know that you have been enchanted by charm magic?"

"..."

Cecil was speechless for a long time before stammering: "What, what charm magic?"

Langdon stretched out his index finger and touched the tip of Cecil's nose. A feeling like an electric shock came from the tip of his nose. He shivered, blinked his eyes, and suddenly felt a sense of relief all over his body, as if taking off ill-fitting clothes .He took a few breaths and said in disbelief, "Is this a magical effect?"

"It's a hint, it's not some advanced magic, it just pushes you in the direction you're stubborn." Langdon said slowly, "This magic won't change your mind, so you can tell me now, Why are you in such a hurry?"

Cecil rubbed his eyes. Looking back on this period of time, he found that there were indeed signs of aggressiveness, as if something was urging him.

"I don't know, it's just... about Ebo, about Serling, I always feel that there is some kind of conspiracy behind it." Cecil hesitated, but still confided, "I'm afraid."

Langdon took Cecil's hand, and the slightly higher body temperature was transmitted, and his voice was as gentle as a lullaby: "What are you afraid of?"

"I don't know!" Cecil raised his voice, then lowered it again, "I'm just... afraid, afraid of not doing well, afraid of accidents, afraid of hurting you. There are so many things, and I can't do anything about it Delegate these matters to others."

Langdon kneaded Cecil's fingers rhythmically, like playing with a toy. After a while, he said, "I did put too much pressure on you."

"It's none of your business."

"No, it's indeed my fault." Langdon knelt down, leaned closer to Cecil and looked up at him, "There are so many futures in your heart that no one can tell, I shouldn't let you bear these alone, this world may be infinite. People understand your thoughts, but there are people who can help you, be the sword in your hand and the clothes on your body. You need these people, and I will find more helpers for you. Of course, people like Moye are not in this category."

Cecil squeezed out a few dry laughs, rubbed his face and said in embarrassment: "I'm really under magic?"

"Yes." Langdon said seriously, "You need to rest now."

"I don't think it's necessary..."

"I think it is necessary." Langdon said in an unquestionable tone, "Go back to the house and sleep."

"...But I don't want to sleep."

"go to sleep."

Cecil's straight male education and his admiration for male gods had serious conflicts again. In the end, he obediently went back to the house, because Russell poked his head in and indicated that Langdon was actually the highest commander of Moon City , if he is disobedient, Langdon can put him in confinement.

Forget it, there doesn't seem to be any shame in listening to your girlfriend... Well, it's much more comfortable to think about it this way.

After resting for a few days, Cecil's energy recovered a lot, and he rejoined his work happily.Moyer only got a verbal admonition, because this magic was only to promote people's desires, and did not actually hurt. Besides, as far as the devil is concerned, his behavior has been very restrained.

Oakes' evaluation of this hits the nail on the head: the last madness before the arrival of the paladins.

Moyer's face darkened on the spot.

The fire covered the original fields and new fields of Ebo. After demolishing the houses in the slums, many new fields were obtained. Mrs. Klass was very satisfied with the new houses. There were only more than 300 Ebo people left, but everyone They are full of expectations for the future life, no matter how hard they work, they can't lose their smiles.

Since Cecil planned to build roads, he would naturally think about the transportation problem. After asking Langdon, he learned that there are four-wheeled carriages in this world, which are obviously made of magic. Ordinary four-wheeled carriages still cannot solve the steering problem. It is also something that ancient China has not been able to solve.

Ancient Chinese four-wheeled carriages used "hard turns" to solve the steering problem. Simply put, relying on the hard pull of cattle and horses to turn hard on the spot in a slow way, deep marks will be left on the ground, both inside and outside. The problem of steering difference between the front and rear wheels is always present.

This problem is not a problem for Cecil. He doesn't know how to solve it, and he doesn't know unfamiliar terms and theorems. However, he has seen a carriage!

When he was doing Chinese commentary and tour guide abroad, he had seen many carriages, had ridden and driven them, and seen the structure of the carriages a lot. Although he didn’t remember them clearly, thanks to Tolandon, he can easily recall those details now. , There is no need to reason with the craftsman at all, just draw the picture directly.

Fire goblins always make trouble for people. When they see the picture of the steering shaft of the carriage, they ask: "What material is this made of?"

"Iron?" Cecil said, "What do you think?"

"Not enough iron materials." The flame goblin curled his lips, "You bought raw iron ore, and there are not so many materials after refining!"

"Then use copper, is there enough copper?" Cecil said patiently.

"Isn't copper hard enough?"

After experiencing all kinds of crazy actions of the flame goblins, Cecil's patience with these little Smurfs quickly weakened, and after a few words, he said angrily: "Then you mix copper and iron together!"

The flame goblin was stunned for a moment: "How could this be?"

Cecil was also stunned: "Why can't it be like this? By melting and refining various metals, adding different materials, such as carbon, lime, and other messy things, you will get different metal materials. Don't you know steel?"

"I don't know." The flame goblins said in unison, "What is that?"

"A metal that is harder than iron and copper. Don't look at me. I know there is such a thing but I don't know how to make it. But if you want to try, I can provide various materials." Cecil enthusiastically said .

"Hey, it's not as good as magic iron." The flame goblin said disdainfully, "No matter how hard it is, can it compare to magic iron?"

Cecil knew that this kind of argument was meaningless, and left after sighing.As soon as he walked out of the gate of the foundry, he saw a strong girl—this description is a bit inconsistent, but the biceps of the other party are more bulging than his—hid in the corner and looked at him.Because the other party is very tall, he is only half a head shorter than him. Considering the figure of an Ebo woman, it can be said to be a giant, so it is really difficult not to find it.

"Is there something wrong?" Cecil knew that if he didn't speak, the other party would not dare to speak first.

The girl trembled visibly, and slowly moved out half of her body, and said in a mosquito-like humming voice: "Good day, Your Excellency the City Lord."

"Good day." Cecil had to repeat, "Just tell me if you have anything to do, I'm busy."

"Just, just... I want to be a foundry, but, but... the goblins said, said no." The girl lowered her head as she talked, "My father, my father was also a foundry, and he passed away."

There is also a foundry store in Ebo City, where Cecil bought a large pile of iron barrels. After the riots, these craftsmen either died or disappeared, and they did not survive. This may be because they are weapon forgers Related, when there is a riot, they either bear the brunt of attacking others or are attacked.

"You...uh." The body size is enough, but Cecil is not sure if this girl can endure hardships, "Are you sure? This is not an easy job. If you want to make money, I can arrange it for you." Other work."

The girl's dark cheeks became more and more red. She hesitated for a long time, and suddenly took out a small piece of metal from her pocket in a hurry. Cecil took it over and looked at it. In fact, she couldn't see why, after all, he had never done this before. Okay, but this thing is different from the shovel he is using now and the copper pipe cast by flame goblins. It has a shiny surface and a different hardness to the touch. When you pull it, you can't feel toughness, it seems very brittle.

"Father, father likes to combine different gold and metal water, and also added, added some strange things, he also added, added blood, human blood." The girl's voice was small, full of He was timid, but his eyes sparkled, "He has many, many of these different metal pieces, home, home, and he likes to play with them. I, I also like to play with metal water."

Cecil suddenly raised his head and said seriously: "You will have a room, which belongs to your furnace, and you can also have helpers. I will let a flame goblin answer all your questions."

The girl's forehead was covered with sweat, and the excited expression was visible to the naked eye.

"I just have one question to confirm, do you really want to do this job?" Cecil said, "This job is very hard."

"Yes, I want to become a foundry master!" The girl said fluently in an unprecedented loud voice, "I want to become a foundry master like my father!"

Cecil said softly: "You will be stronger than your father."

In this grim world, after all, there was something inspiring and good, and Cecil was in a good mood for several days.

On the last day of March, the patrolling legionary knights found strangers in the direction of Toto Port, and confirmed the vanguard of the immigrants after the meeting.

The Sirin arrived.

After chatting with the officer in leather armor for a few words, Cecil entered the process of manpower relocation. After all, everyone was very busy.The army came first, and this group of people was responsible for inquiring about the most suitable route, and then the civilians came slowly with most of their property.

"The Serlings seem very pragmatic." Cecil commented.

"Well, after all, they started from pirates." Oakes was not used to saying good things. Seeing Russell staring at him, he said unconvinced, "There has always been a rumor that their ancestors were robbers at sea, and they found a place where they fell. The treasure of the gods was built into the floating wall, anyway, it’s just a rumor. But they are notoriously rude, even the nobles don’t have the slightest etiquette.”

"I think aristocratic etiquette is a piece of shit." Cecil muttered, thinking of the ten-minute-long nonsense rituals between the former city lord Biers and Langdon, his scalp tingled.

Serling civilians showed up half a day later. The weather is still not suitable for camping. These people have to rush to Ebo and live in the cleaned houses, while Serling’s army moved into Moon City. At this point, civilians, leading organizations, The division of the army has become a common practice. Ebo is a commercial and transportation center, while Yuecheng is the station of troops and leading organizations. The walking distance between the two is very suitable for a few hours. The foundry has no intention of moving, after all, some technologies will be developed here in the future, which requires a certain degree of confidentiality.

Now Ebo’s houses can’t actually accommodate 2 people, but these people are worn out on the road, and only about [-] people actually arrived. Cecil can only regret such an amazing journey casualty. In this way, everyone If they are squeezed together, Ebo and Yuecheng will not need to build many new houses.

The knights were very happy, because they had to accommodate Serling's army and nobles, so they were able to share a room with several people. During this time, everyone separated and reunited, and the old and new hatreds and old loves were intertwined. After a group fight, the naked buttocks were still beaten, which really made the Serin people see a joke.

Oakes was so angry that after getting along for a long time, Cecil found that Oakes was actually an innocent one, and he looked down on colleagues who changed boyfriends like changing clothes. This is not surprising, for him who loves someone until death Irrationality is the most unforgivable thing.

Cecil asked Langdon privately what would happen if Russell moved on to Oakes?

Langdon didn't answer the question, but warned Cecil never to ask Oakes this question, otherwise Russell would get angry and no one could save him.

Cecil gave Langdon a rare look: "I am so stupid in your eyes?"

"No, you're just too naive." Langdon replied with a smile.

It was not long before Cecil got word, after the Serinians had nearly filled Ebo, that the King of Serin was coming.

"Come here." Cecil said indifferently, "Langdon will receive him anyway."

"You want to go, I want to go, and Eugene wants to go." Langdon said, "He is the official king, and his succession is right. His civilization still has the protection of the God of Civilization, and Serin's God of Civilization has Several of them specialize in various industries such as ships, ports, sea lifesaving, sky watching, and weather forecasting. They are very wise gods, and they must not be disrespectful. Put on uniforms and go greet them together."

Sure enough, high technical content is different. Thinking of Langdon taking him to see Bills, he found a valet and reported a letter and went directly.

Moye laughed suddenly: "Actually, you want to recommend a royal cavalry to the king, after all, the king's father owns a royal cavalry."

Cecil was sighing, and was taken aback when he heard this.

"Do you want to be one?" Oakes hurriedly followed, "If you want to be one, just say it, how will we know if you don't say it?"

Langdon said calmly, "It's good for you to think so, anyway, you are going anyway. Oh, by the way, is O'Casey coming in these two days? Moyer, do you want to prepare?"

The laughter stopped abruptly, everyone in the group looked serious, and Cecil couldn't help laughing out loud. However, he never expected that King Serin had unusual eyesight.
