After doing more tests, Gao Wen believed that there was no need to continue verification.
Rebecca cannot connect with the crystal.
He asked Amber to come over and try again, but the result was also unsuccessful.
It seems that except for myself, no one else can get in touch with the mysterious monitoring station high in the sky even if they come into contact with the crystal. So why did Gawain Cecil leave this crystal seven hundred years ago? ?
Gawain thinks there seem to be only two answers to this. Either Gawain Cecil seven hundred years ago was special and he had a special way to use these crystals, or... these crystals are It was not used by Gawain Cecil himself, but left to him seven hundred years later...
The second answer is particularly creepy.
"Ancestor..." Rebecca looked at the ancestor in front of her with some anxiety. She had just gone through a confusing test. Although she didn't know what the purpose of the test was, she could still She was obviously aware that the test had failed, which made her feel that she might have disappointed her ancestors again, "Is it because my talent is too poor..."
"No, it's not your fault. "Didn't you try Amber just now?" Gawain suppressed all the thoughts in his heart and comforted the girl, "This crystal itself is not for ordinary people. I just asked you to try it on a whim." "Tell me about the results of your investigation outside."
When this topic was mentioned, Rebecca's mood immediately improved: "Yes, I was just about to say this!" Did you know that the land here has been purified from the beginning? I looked around according to the range you gave, and found that it was all unpolluted land, and the terrain was open and flat, with easy access to water. Farmers traveling with me said this was the most suitable land for land reclamation. Place..."
Gawain was not surprised by this answer. Of course he knew the situation here.
The pollution in this area subsided at least ten years ago - but no one in the kingdom knew it.
It is unknown when the influence of the demonic tide subsided in the Dark Mountains, but it was still a polluted area at least a hundred years ago - left by the Cecil family that had not declined at that time. The records of the pioneering points below can confirm this. It is precisely because the magic wave pollution was still there at that time that the treasure house in the mountain has been preserved to this day. Otherwise, the Moen family might have taken back those ancient materials; and when the Cecil family After the great changes and the end of Morn's inheritance, no one knew the secrets of the treasure house in the mountain. The kingdom also completely abandoned the Southern Territory, a mess that caused pollution and disaster every year. Naturally, no one knew about the retreat of the demonic tide.
After all, the "unholy wind" will still blow across the Dark Mountains regularly every year. Even if the pollution in the land has subsided, with those toxic dust storms still present, this is still not a good place to develop.
Gawain can only be sure of one thing. In the overhead view stored in his mind, there was no pollution here ten years ago.
The closest to hereThe noble land is the Tanzanian town of the Leslie family. According to Anzu law, the nobles on the southern border are also responsible for monitoring the contaminated areas of Gondor, so Gawain guessed that Viscount Andrew should be more or less aware of the influence of the magic tide. However, for the traditional nobleman who relies on the mines and life, this temporarily settled land is probably still not worth investing in. In addition, the pioneering wave in this era has cooled down, and the Viscount may also No one was sent to check the situation here at all...
Gawain nodded and looked at Rebecca: "The area of land that can be determined to be safe at present is the part I drew, and the outside areas The pollution should have subsided, but we have to wait until the large forces are in place before carefully investigating. Don’t go there yet.”
The clear bird’s eye view in my mind was from ten years ago, and the polluted area should still be there during these ten years. Further shrinking, but to what extent... Since the satellite view has now become a "magic imaging map" and cannot be adjusted, Gawain cannot be sure for the time being, so he can only arrange it this way.
Time continues to pass. After Hetty’s efforts to promote it and the people in the territory adapting for a period of time, the new work system finally showed results, and the workers began to realize that labor meant better rationing. , and those "smart people" who tried to exploit loopholes in the new system realized that what was more painful than drinking vegetable soup and watching others eat meat was being hungry and watching others eat vegetable soup - for Gawain , those poor loophole-exploiting skills are really not brilliant, and the punishments he enacts are never merciful.
This is an issue related to the future survival of everyone, and it is impossible to talk about it with kindness.
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 subsequent large forces. Under Gawain's plan, the fence around the camp was moved to the south. It was expanded several hundred meters to the east and the east, leaving a large area of open space for the subsequent 700 people to set up camps, as well as the workshop sheds of carpenters, stonemasons, and blacksmiths, as well as new space for stacking materials. He also ordered the construction of a temporary small wharf of wood at the camp facing the river beach, and the construction of a sawmill on site near the wharf to process the wood flowing down the river from the deforestation points to the west.
Of course, at present, the wharf and sawmill are only plans on the drawings - one hundred laborers are really limited. Even with Hetty's magic assistance, it is too difficult to build a camp. At this time, Gawain is really I sincerely hope that Rebecca can cast 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 - that It is one of the few buildings in the camp that can be called a "house", and it is a very large building. It and the large open space around it will be used as a temporary blacksmith shop for a period of time. Although there are many smelted metal ingots in the mountain treasure house, they are difficult to use in camp construction: most of them are mithril, fine gold, copper, and purple steel. No matter how generous Gao Wen is, he cannot melt those things to make nails. Bar?
The iron ore in the east has been roughly explored. Although it has not yet been excavated into a mining tunnel, it is still possible to take some ore back to verify the quality. Now the first batch of ore has been excavated, waiting for the blacksmiths to Once their stoves are set up, Cecil Territory will be considered to have entered the Iron Age...
That's too bad.
Thinking about the demonic tide that would come at some point and the mysterious monitoring station in the sky, and then looking at the slow progress of the pioneer camp in front of him, Gawain couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Rebecca, who was setting up an awning nearby and didn’t know what she was looking at, noticed Gawain’s movements and turned to look at him with a frown: “Why are you sighing? I’m just taking a rest here. Can't you?"
"Don't always think of me so bad, okay?" Gawain looked at her helplessly, "When have I ever really exploited you?"
"It's fun to bicker with you!" Amber said confidently, "This is the first time I've seen a noble nobleman who can bicker with others without getting angry. It feels so fresh!"
Gawain tilted his head. , ignored her.
However, Amber did not intend to give up: "Hey, you haven't said anything yet, why are you sighing?"
"It's too slow," Gawain shook his head, "It's really "It's too slow."
Amber's eyes widened: "You think the speed of their work is too slow?"
Then she waved her arms exaggeratedly: "You Do you have any conscience? These people are the fastest working serfs and migrant workers I have ever seen in my life! Yesterday they completed the additional fence and wall in less than a day, and today they started to build the blacksmith shop - You know this is going crazy fast, okay?"
Then she muttered: "I saw you feeding them meat before and forbidding whipping, so I thought you were really a good person... "
Gawain glanced at her: "I am a good person, and I don't blame these people for not doing their job well - I am not blind, I can see that they are not lazy, but overall ...It is a fact that the construction speed of this camp cannot keep up with my plan."
"Your plan is unrealistic," Amber curled her lips, and then looked at Gawain a little suspiciously, "Speaking of which. I thought something was wrong before... You have been acting strange these past two days, always seeming to be worried, and you have drawn a lot of strange things on the paper, especially this morning, when the campground has just been set up. , you are actually starting to consider building an urn city... What are you panicking about?"
Gaowen didn't even look back: "Afraid of the end of the world, panic of the sky falling, panic of foreigners?"
"You just don't want to admit it, blah, but I'm watching, and you're just panicking," Amber put her hands on her hips, "I want to think about when it started... Ah, by the way, it was Taiyang before. When red spots appeared on your body! You have been uneasy since then..."
This time Gawain was really a little surprised. He looked at Amber up and down: "You are usually free. Are you okay and keep observing me? ”
"How can I have this free time?" Amber put her hands on her hips, "But the problem is that you can't hide this change from others. In fact, your great-granddaughters who are so many generations apart have also discovered it, but she We didn't dare to ask you..."
Gowen was stunned: "Is it so obvious?"
After a brief moment of confusion, he couldn't help but start to reflect. Thinking about her recent changes in mentality and thinking about how to adjust, Amber held her chin and thought for a while, then suddenly asked a question: "What is the extraterrestrial visitor you just mentioned?"
Gao Text: "..."
Why does this guy's reflex arc grow and shrink like Brownian motion? Just now, seeing that she didn't respond, 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, a little maid in a coarse cloth dress. Betty is running towards this side.
The little girl ran to Gawain, took a few breaths, then blinked her big eyes and said blankly: "Mrs. Hetty, please come over."
"What does she have? "What happened?"
Betty thought for a while: "Forgot!"
Gawain: "..."
At this time, Amber suddenly noticed Betty's hand. Kong Kong couldn't help but asked curiously: "Where is your precious pan?"
Betty raised her head and answered seriously: "Miss Rebecca said this is a new home. When I get home, I put the pans in the kitchen.”
She is responsible for carrying the cooking utensils when she goes out with everyone, and puts them back in the kitchen when she gets home - this is what Mrs. Hansen taught her.
At this time, Gawain already knew the reason why Hetty came to him.
He had seen the figures appearing in the distance to the west.
The second group of people... finally arrived.
