Gawain rubbed his eyes and completely withdrew from the magical connection with the dream lantern.
After the video of the Peak of the Ancestors ends, there is no more updated video data in the lantern.
This may be because Selina Gerfen transformed into a dark priest after that, and lost the habit of recording her surroundings at all times due to her drastic change in temperament. It may also be because she died unexpectedly shortly after that. , in short, regardless of the reason, the clues in the lantern end here.
But these clues are enough to reveal countless facts.
Gawain has **10% confidence that the equipment that Megall III was wearing at that time was some kind of "space suit", and the various magical blessings he had received before should also be the same. In order for him to survive in cosmic space (or similar environment), as for the purpose of the entire ritual, or the "destination" of Megall III... If Selina's "narration" is to be believed, then that mysterious Was his attempt to communicate with the gods essentially sending a pope to the divine realm?
So the divine world is located in space? Or is it necessary to go through space for a period of time before going to the divine world?
What truth did those religious leaders grasp seven hundred years ago?
Selena mentioned a "divine revelation" in the narration. Those religious leaders seemed to have received information about the divine world from the divine revelation and learned about the environmental parameters of the divine realm, so They designed a protective suit similar to a space suit based on those parameters, and the divine revelation seems to come from the eternal stone... In other words, those church leaders who have direct access to the eternal stone can not only learn knowledge about divine arts from the stone. , can you even "see" the divine world?
Gawain stood up and paced in the study while pondering. What he was most curious about now was the final result of the ceremony - did Megall III succeed? Has he reached the divine realm? Is he back? What did he see, what did he hear, and what did he bring back?
After the Summit of the Ancestors, there were several dark sects that degenerated into cults, but among them the most powerful, most mysterious, and most completely depraved were the Final Death, the Eternal Sleepers, and the Sons of the Storm. Three parties, and the sect leaders of these three parties happened to be the three people standing on the altar at that time...
At this moment, a knock on the door interrupted Gawain's thoughts.
Gawain instantly judged that the person standing at the door would not be Amber - because the half-elf lady would climb in directly through the window or emerge from the Shadow Realm, and it would not be Rebecca, because Rebecca usually pushed the door open and then thought of knocking. He shook his head, temporarily putting aside his complicated thoughts, and cleared his throat: "Come in."
The door opened. , Hetty, who had two big dark circles under her eyes, walked in with a large pile of organized documents and information, and her staff was floating beside her: she controlled the staff to knock on the door.
"Ancestor, the production report of the steel plant and the land survey report of the North Shore have been sent," Hetty came to the desk holding the documents., placed them carefully on the table, and then exhaled slightly, "There are also forest development plans for next season, mine production and scale expansion plans, new residential area construction plans, night school scale expansion plans, stone quarry construction plans and pharmacies. Please take a look at the teacher recruitment and training proposals!”
The eldest granddaughter balabailed a lot of names in the plan, and when the heavy documents were smashed on the table, it even made Gawain feel uncomfortable! Slightly shocked, he suddenly looked stunned: "Did you save a bunch of money just to come to me?"
Hetty looked like she was overly cultivating immortality: "Of course not, this is all me. I sorted it out overnight, and every item is an urgent project. You have specifically ordered it before. Once these plans are made, they must be shown to you immediately."
The plans were set by Gao Wen. A programmed product, Hetty had to admit that it was something that could greatly improve team efficiency and execution accuracy. However, dealing with the plan reminded her of the painful experience of being spoon-fed endorsements when she first learned magic. There is still a little difference between the two - when she was forced to learn magic as a girl, she could still fight with the teacher with a staff, but now she is forced to make plans and she does not dare to fight with her ancestors...
So before I came here, I had to use eye shadow to draw big dark circles under my eyes, hoping that my ancestors would notice the fact that I had over-cultivated immortality and reduce the workload a little bit...
< p>And Gawain also felt the deep resentment in Hetty's tone. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he had indeed ordered such a large number of tasks, so he could only comfort him with a dry smile: "Ahem, that's good. You've done a pretty good job, and you can have two days of leisure after finishing all this work..."As he spoke, he lowered his head and roughly browsed a summary report on the top. Hetty took this moment to relax and glanced at Gawain's desk casually.
She first saw the dream lantern and paid a little attention to it, but this kind of magical auxiliary item was not her specialty, so she quickly looked away, and then she saw the desk There was a biography of a knight lying in the corner, so I picked it up curiously and took a look at the title on the cover.
"The Romance of Gawain Cecil - The Story of Heroes and Princesses".
The next second her expression became strange: "Ancestor, are you... really okay with reading this kind of book?"
Gowen raised his eyelids and glanced, As a result, he was surprised to see that the book with a rather sensitive subject matter was actually in Hetty's hands. He was extremely embarrassed on the spot: "Hey, I forgot to put it away... Ahem, I mean this is just a novel, no need..." p>
Halfway through his words, he suddenly reacted and looked at Hetty suspiciously: "...How do you know what this book is about?"
Hetty was stunned for a moment. The next second, his whole body froze, and cold sweat began to flow down his face. It took him a long time to hold back an explanation: "I just guessed the content after seeing the title of the book...."
Gawain looked Hetty up and down: "If you had just said that, I would still believe you, but your expression now is too unconvincing. "
Hetty: "I...I just took a look at it accidentally! After all, it is indeed quite popular in the circle of aristocratic ladies and ladies, and this... this is just a love novel, and it is actually very decent... Sorry ancestors, I was wrong! ”
The corner of Gawain’s mouth twitched, looking at the “Ms. Hetty” who had always been famous in the entire aristocratic circle for being “mature, steady, elegant and wise”, acting like a little girl who had done something wrong. Then she bowed and apologized, her face turned red and she broke out in a cold sweat - anyone else would never see her like this in her lifetime. How can I put it, it's quite interesting.
< p>To be honest, it does feel a sense of accomplishment to occasionally tease Hetty, who is usually too serious, but Gawain also knows how to give up when he feels good. Soon he coughed lightly and said with a serious face: "Okay, okay. , why are you so nervous? I have read this book. Although the story has a lot of fabrications, it is just a normal romance novel about a knight marrying a princess - although marrying more than eighty people is indeed a bit much... Hmm Huh, there's nothing illegal about it. "Hetty nodded vigorously: "The ancestors said so! "
Gawain curled his lips and glanced at Hetty: "But I have to remind you something. "
Heti was frightened: "Ancestor, please tell me! "
"The dark circles under your eyes are gone," Gawain looked helplessly at this N-level great-granddaughter, "the color has faded due to sweat. "
Hetty: "..."
After a moment, she bowed to the end again: "I'm sorry, ancestor, I was wrong! ”
The corners of Gawain’s eyes trembled, and he was worried whether the pressure he put on Hetty was indeed too great, so that the eldest granddaughter could not bear it under the pressure, and his thinking gradually began to change. Ka - after all, the two of them have the same blood. Just look at Rebecca's behavior and you will know that most of her bloodline is both reckless and humorous...
The more he thought about it, the more likely it was that he felt it was possible. He had no choice but to sigh and said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Well, your work pressure has indeed been a bit high recently... But fortunately, the most important winter construction projects have been finalized, and each team is currently led by craftsmen. You can lead The few secretaries and internal affairs apprentices we have should also be of some use. Just rest for a while - I'll give you two days off. "
Hetty blinked, surprised but a little uneasy: "No... Ancestor, I'm actually fine. Now is the key to territory construction..."
"Every day during the pioneering period is crucial, but one cannot rest forever. Even Nicholas Egg has a special holiday to bask in the sun, so you should also take a rest," Gawain smiled and glanced at Hetty, who was struggling, " However, after the holiday is over, I hope you can conduct an assessment of the intern apprentices in various departments in the territory as soon as possible and compile an assessment result. If it is useful, you must consider implementing myThe administrative structure was drawn up several months ago. ”
Gao Wen has been working hard to realize a complete, scientific and efficient administrative organization in New Cecil Territory. However, the scarcity of intellectuals in this era has led to a shortage of relevant talents, such as agriculture and internal affairs. There are always only one or two people in key departments such as , military, and medical care who are fully operational. It can almost be said that from the department head to the grassroots clerk, all the pressure is on one person. Although this kind of departmental division of labor is already more chaotic than most noble territories. The management is much better, but there is still a huge gap between it and what Gawain wants.
So as long as there are "intellectuals" who can read and count in the territory, Gawain will select the outstanding ones as soon as possible. Enriched under the heads of various departments - these people have never been exposed to advanced organizational management concepts, so they can only start as apprentices at the beginning. Even the down-and-out scholars and bankrupt knights hired from Tanzania Town must Be an honest apprentice here.
And precisely because of the complex composition of these apprentices, Gao Wen does not think that they can all successfully complete the "transformation within the organization."
Especially those bankrupt knights and scholars
Now that the "internship period" has passed, those apprentices who can't bear the pressure or can't adapt to the new system should be on the verge of running away, Gawain thinks. It's time to conduct an assessment on them to screen out the truly qualified talents and advance the management of the territory.
Hetty accepted Gawain's arrangement seriously, but before leaving the study, She seemed to suddenly remember something and said uncertainly: "Ancestor, I just saw the second-level arcanist from the royal capital wandering around the lord's mansion. Do you want to call him in? "
Gawain was stunned for a moment and thought carefully: "...So there is still such a person? ”
