Chapter 50 The Great Troop

After doing more tests, Gao Wen believes that there is no need to continue the verification.

Rebecca is unable to connect with the crystal.

He asked Amber to try again, but it didn't work either.

It seems that other than himself, even if others touch the crystal, they cannot get in touch with the mysterious monitoring station in the sky. So why did Gawain Cecil leave this crystal seven hundred years ago?

Gawain thinks that there seem to be only two answers, either, Gawain Cecil from seven hundred years ago is special, he has a special way to use these crystals, or…these crystals are not Gawain Cecil I use it myself, but leave it to him seven hundred years later...

The second answer is especially creepy.

"Master Ancestor..." Rebecca looked at the old ancestor in front of her with a little uneasiness. She just went through a confused test. Although she didn't know what the purpose of the test was, she was still clearly aware of the failure of the test. Now, this made her feel that she might have let her ancestor down again, "Is it because my talent is too bad so..."

"No, it's not your reason, didn't Amber also try it just now," Gao Wen suppressed all the thoughts in his heart and comforted the girl, "This crystal itself is not for ordinary people, I just found it on a whim. You just try it. By the way, tell me the results of your investigation outside."

When it came to this topic, Rebecca's mood really improved immediately: "Yes, I was just about to say this! Ancestor, did you know that the land here has been purified from the beginning? I will follow the scope you gave. When I searched for it, I found that it was all uncontaminated land, and the terrain was open and flat, and it was convenient to get water. The farmers who went with me said that this is the most suitable place to open up wasteland..."

Gawain was not surprised by this answer, he certainly knew the situation here.

At least ten years ago, the pollution in this area subsided - it's just that no one in the kingdom knew it.

It is not known when the influence of the magic tide in the Dark Mountains subsided, but it was still a polluted area at least a hundred years ago - the records of the pioneering point left by the Cecil family, which had not yet declined at the time, can be confirmed. This is precisely because the pollution of the magic tide was still there at that time, and the treasure house in the mountain was preserved to this day. Otherwise, the Moen family might have taken back those ancient materials; , no one knows the secrets of the treasure house in the mountains, and the kingdom has completely abandoned the southern border, which is a mess of pollution and disasters every year.

After all, the "unclean wind" still blows across the Dark Mountains on a regular basis every year, and even if the pollution in the land has subsided and there are those toxic dust storms, it's still not a good place to explore.

Gawain could only be sure of one thing, in the top view stored in his mind, there was no pollution here ten years ago.

The nearest noble lord here is the town of Tanzania of the Leslie family. According to Ansu law, the nobles of the southern border are also responsible for monitoring the polluted area of ​​Gondor, so Gawain guessed that Viscount Andrew should be more or less. I know that the influence of the magic tide is fading, but for the traditional aristocrat who relied on the mines and nourished his life, this temporarily settled land is probably still not worth investing in. In addition, the pioneering tide of this era has cooled down. Mr. Viscount may not have sent anyone to see the situation here at all...

Gawain nodded and looked at Rebecca: "The part of the land that can be determined to be safe at present is the part I drew, and the pollution outside should also subside, but then we must wait until the large force is in place before careful investigation, you first Don't go there."

The clear top view in my mind was from ten years ago. During the past ten years, the polluted area should have been shrinking further, but how much... Since the current satellite view has become a "magic imaging map" and cannot be adjusted yet, Gawain Not sure yet,

So it can only be arranged like this.

Time continued to pass, and after Hetty's efforts to promote and the people in the domain to adapt for a period of time, the new work system finally showed its effect, and the people who worked began to realize that labor meant better rationing, and those who tried to use the new system The "smart people" who exploited the loopholes and cheated, realized that it was more painful than watching others eat meat while drinking vegetable soup. It was to watch others eat vegetable soup with an empty stomach. For Gawain, those poor loophole drilling skills It's not really clever, and the punishment he instituted has never been merciless.

This is an issue related to the future survival of all people, and it is impossible to speak with affection.

Also because the new system came into effect, the construction of the outpost camp was completed at an astonishing speed, and preparations were made for the arrival of the follow-up large force-under Gawain's plan, the fence around the camp was expanded to the south and east by several hundred. Rice, a large open space was reserved for the subsequent 700 people to set up camps, and the sheds for carpenters, masons, and blacksmiths were reserved, as well as new spaces for stacking materials. He also ordered the construction of a small temporary pier out of wood where the camp faced the riverbank, and a sawmill built on site near the pier to handle the lumber flowing downstream from the deforestation to the west.

Of course, the dock and the sawmill are still only plans on the drawings - a hundred labor force is really limited, even with Heidi's magical assistance, it would be stretched to build a camp. The card can put a spell other than fireball...

Standing on the high ground beside the river beach, Gawain looked at a large wooden house being completed in the distance - it was one of the few buildings in the camp that could be called a "house", and it was a very large building. It and the large open space around it will be used as a temporary blacksmith shop for some time to come. Although the treasure house in the mountains has a lot of smelted and formed metal ingots, it is difficult to use them in the construction of the camp: most of them are mithril, adamantine, copper, and purple steel. Bar?

The iron ore in the east has been roughly explored. Although it is not yet time to excavate the mine, it is still ok to take some ore back to verify the quality. Now the first batch of ore has been excavated, waiting for the blacksmiths to set up their furnaces. Get up, Cecil Land will enter the Iron Age...

Really bad.

Thinking of the magic tide that will come at some point and the mysterious monitoring station in the sky, and then looking at the slow-moving pioneering camp in front of him, Gawain couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

Rebecca, who was building a pergola next to her, didn't know what she was looking at, noticed Gawain's movement, turned her head and frowned and glanced at him: "Why are you sighing? Can't I just take a break here?"

"Don't always think of me so badly," Gao Wen glanced at her helplessly, "When did I really squeeze you?"

"It's interesting to argue with you!" Amber looked righteous, "It's the first time I've seen a great noble who can argue with someone without getting angry. This feels so fresh!"

Gawain turned his head and ignored her.

However, Amber did not intend to give up: "Hey, you haven't said it yet, why are you sighing?"

"It's too slow," Gawain shook his head, "it's really too slow."

Amber's eyes widened: "You said the speed of their work? Is this still slow?!"

Then she waved her arms exaggeratedly: "Do you still have a conscience! These people are the fastest working serfs and migrant workers I have ever seen in my life! Yesterday they took less than a day to complete all the additional fences and walls. When it's finished, start building the blacksmith shop today—you know how fast this is going to be insane, okay?"

Then she mumbled: "I saw you give them meat before, and you were forbidden to be whipped, and I thought you were really a good person..."

Gawain glanced at her: "I'm a good person, and I don't blame these people for their poor work-I'm not blind, I can see that they're not slacking off, but overall... the speed of construction of this camp It's a fact that it doesn't catch up with my plans."

"Your plan was unrealistic in the first place," Amber pouted, then looked at Gawain suspiciously, "Speaking of which, I thought something was wrong before... You've been acting weird these past two days, always seeming to be very preoccupied. , and also drew a lot of strange things on the paper. Especially this morning, the camp has just been framed, and you have started to think about building an urn city... What are you panicking? "

Gao Wen didn't turn his head back: "Furious about the end of the world, frightened that the sky is falling down, frightened that there are tourists from outside?"

"You just don't want to admit it, sigh, but I'm watching, you're panicking," Amber crossed his waist, "I think about when it started... Ah yes, when the red spots appeared on the sun before! You've been restless ever since..."

This time, Gawain was really surprised. He looked Amber up and down a few times: "Are you always watching me when you're idle?"

"I don't have the spare time," Amber put his arms on his hips, "but the problem is that you can't hide the change from others. In fact, your great-granddaughters who are not sure how many generations apart have found out, but they didn't. I dare to ask you..."

Gawain was stunned: "Really? It's already so obvious?"

After being stunned for a while, he couldn't help but start to reflect on his recent mentality changes and think about how to adjust it, while Amber pinched his chin and thought for a while, and suddenly asked a question: "The alien you just said is what?"

Gao Wen: "..."

Why is this guy's reflex arc so long and short like Brownian motion? When I saw that she didn't respond just now, I thought this guy didn't pay attention to this word at all...

At this moment, a small figure suddenly appeared in the corner of Gawain's field of vision, and Betty, the little maid in a coarse cloth dress, ran upside down.

The little girl ran in front of Gawain, took a few breaths, and then blinked her big eyes and said dazedly, "Mrs. Hetty, please come over."

"What's wrong with her?"

Betty thought for a while: "Forget it!"

Gao Wen: "..."

At this time, Amber suddenly noticed that Betty's hands were empty, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where's your precious frying pan?"

Betty raised her head and replied seriously: "Miss Rebecca said this is a new home. When I get home, I will put the pan in the kitchen."

When you go out with everyone, you are responsible for carrying cooking utensils, and when you get home, put things back in the kitchen - this is also what Mrs. Hansen taught her.

At this time, Gawain already knew the reason why Heidi came to him.

He had already seen those figures appearing in the far west.

The second group of people... finally arrived.
