For Kamel, this is a new era—a new world, even.
The powerful Gondor Empire, the supreme human glory, advanced magic technology, all the glory in his memory have disappeared. A thousand years can eliminate many things, and the glorious civilization created by mankind is still there. At this time, it seems insignificant in front of the power of time.
To be honest, he felt very uncomfortable.
But the experience of being imprisoned in the Shadow Realm for thousands of years gave him a mind far beyond ordinary people - usually, such an experience would only lead to two consequences, either hysterical madness, or An unearthly calmness.
He had already gone through the hysterical phase - and had the good fortune to transition into a state of calm thinking.
So he knows very well that he must recognize the reality and accept this new era. At least, he must understand the environment in which he will survive in the future.
It is said that human beings have experienced a large-scale epoch of technology and society. Today's human countries are almost built from scratch on the wilderness. During the exchange with the people in the territory, he heard this He was dumbfounded by the many incredible aspects of the era, the technological regression and the barbarism of contemporary humans - although physiologically he could no longer do this - and the only thing he was thankful for was the ancient man who returned from the grave just like him. The lord is also a Gondorian who still retains his glory. Under his governance, this pioneering land is not so barbaric.
This is really the greatest luck for Kamel.
Under Gawain’s guidance, he came to the Machinery Manufacturing Institute located on the east side of the territory. This place used to develop mechanical equipment made him feel very friendly - although the mechanical equipment here was different from ancient times. The magic workshops in the Gondor Empire were very different, but he felt a familiar atmosphere here: the technicians were obsessed with research and manufacturing, and new ideas collided in the work area. This was a good place for research and learning. .
A silver-white metal ball with an exaggerated smiley face pattern floated in front of Kamel. Kamel looked at the metal ball in front of him in astonishment, and the latter floated up and down slightly in front of him. , a voice with a metallic trembling came from inside the ball: "Hello, I heard you are coming."
Kamail was stunned again (psychologically), and he found that the technical staff around him They—they were technicians who had no magic reaction in their bodies, and I don’t know how these ordinary people participated in magic research—all looked at this side with curiosity and respect, and then they realized the metal in front of them. Qiu was probably the person in charge of this place, and he was greatly surprised: "You are..."
"You can call me Nicholas Mr. Egg, or you can call me Mr. Dan for short," Metal Ball said reservedly on the ground Floating below, "I am the director of the Cecil Machinery Manufacturing Institute and the person in charge of the machinery research and development department."
"I am Kamel Slane, just call me Kamel. Okay," Camel said.Introducing himself a little awkwardly, he really didn't expect that he would need to communicate with a ball - he finally remembered that the lord once told him that there were many weird beings like him in this land, and he obviously underestimated it. On this point, "The lord asked me to learn from you...about how to adapt to this society. He said that he also found you from the Fortress of Disobedience."
"Ah, Fortress of Disobedience...we finally I figured out the name of that ruins - you come with me, I will take you to visit this place and let you understand the technical route we are taking." Mr. Nicholas Egg turned around and scanned the surroundings with his funny silver face. Technicians, "What are you doing here to join in the fun! Have you finished the impact resistance test of the new rune substrate?!"
The human technicians dispersed one after another, while the silver-white dome continued to say : "I did come out of there. I was in the Disobedience Fortress a thousand years ago, but I was in the middle area, not in the same place as you."
"You really were from the fortress back then. Personnel?" Kamel looked at the metal ball beside him in astonishment, "Oh my god... I thought my life form had changed enough... What research did you do in the fortress?"
Nicholas Egg slowed down its floating speed slightly: "...being studied."
Kamail: "..."
"That experience was not pleasant. , but I can talk to you slowly if I have time," Nicholas Egg floated forward, "Now we are passing the first assembly workshop, and you can see how the industrial power in this land is manufactured. Most of the ideas for these machines and equipment come from our lords, but the specific drawings and designs are now completed by me and the technicians. Of course, occasionally other departments will design and send orders, and we will manufacture them.”
"...Almost all of them are ordinary people..." Kamel looked at the scene in the workshop in surprise, "Where is their mage master? Are these ordinary people allowed to play with those magic mechanisms at will?"
"Mage 'master'? There is no mage 'master' here," Nicholas Egg buzzed, "You must completely forget your past habits. These skilled magic technicians do not need any guidance from a mage master to restrain them. It is the operating procedures and safety rules in the workshop, and the mages in the territory will not be called masters under any circumstances. Their mission is to conduct research in the laboratory and teach students in the school. ”
< p>"...I think I really need time to adapt to all this.""You'd better adapt quickly," Nicholas Egg said, "Next, we go to the machining center, I let you See how ordinary people use the power of magic mechanisms to make parts."
...
Amber returned to the territory and entered the Cecil Territory with her. There are hundreds of energetic social activists who are dressed simply and have unique personalities.
Even in winter, Cecil Territory still maintains new products every day.Standing in the square at the entrance of the town, Kohaku discovered that the "Merchant Guild Hall", which was just a frame when she set out, had already entered the stage of capping off the main body. A newly manufactured mechanical lifting device was lifting the weight of the building. As heavy piles of building materials were delivered to the upper floor of the building, she couldn't help but sigh: "It's lucky that I came back early... If it had been half a month later, I would have had to ask for directions..."
Since childhood Scar-faced Anton and the witch Jipri who got off the caravan were stunned at the scene in front of them - they obviously did not expect that the Cecil Territory, which was said to have just been developed less than a year ago, had already been built to this extent, let alone In this freezing winter, there is actually a territory that can be so prosperous.
They come from the northern area of Leslie Territory. Leslie Territory is already one of the few wealthy places in the southern part of the kingdom. Even so, the town where they live is still in a state of depression after winter. People are reluctant to go out in the ice and snow, the poor are living in their shacks holding on to a few meters of food stored for the winter, the wealthy are waiting for spring around the fireplace in their mansions, and the lawless people like them are drinking wine in the tavern. Living drunkenly and dreaming of moonshine is what they consider the "normal way to spend the winter." However, Cecil's custom of living a normal life despite the cold wind and starting construction in all directions is obviously something they have never heard of.
But before being infected by this atmosphere, the first thing these gangsters, scoundrels, liars and thieves felt was tension and uneasiness, because they could see the order in the bustling town in front of them, and they could also Seeing the security personnel patrolling the streets in neat and light armor, it is obvious that such a town is "tricky" for people like them.
The "vital civil society activists" who have become accustomed to living a secretive life and hiding from patrols everywhere are not used to this legal entry status. They even forget that they have permission to enter the city... …
Scarface Anton, as the leader when Amber left, stepped forward on behalf of everyone and asked the boss: "Sister, is this really the Cecil Territory?"
"Otherwise?" Amber turned around, frowned and looked at the guys who either shivered or had sly looks after getting off the caravan, and scolded loudly, "Everyone, please be alert! Hold your heads up! One of them! Weren’t you all quite shouting when you were in the car? Why are you so exhausted now? You were hired by the lord! You didn’t sneak across the border!”
A large group of people gathered in the square must be conspicuous. At this time, the patrolling security team members had noticed the movements in the square. A group of patrols walked towards the square. The witch Jipri saw those wearing armor and carrying weapons from a distance. Seeing the soldiers with swords, she immediately reminded Amber nervously: "Sister, there are soldiers coming!"
Others also instinctively became nervous after seeing the soldiers approaching, but Amber curled her lips, He turned around and raised his hand to greet the soldiers: "Hey! I'm here!"
The patrol team leaderOnly then did he notice who was the leader of the group. He quickly led the people forward and saluted: "Miss Amber! The lord is already waiting for you!"
Then he looked He glanced at the new guest No. 100 and smiled: "The lord also ordered that if you bring people here, you can take them directly to the old barracks on the north side of Knight Street to rest temporarily. They are already ready to come out."
"I know," Amber nodded, "but these people don't have any rules. I'm afraid they will cause trouble..."
"The old barracks are no longer in use, so it won't affect them. ..."
"No, I mean I will be responsible for educating these people after they cause trouble. Don't stop them then - they can't be beaten to death."
Young security officer. The captain was obviously not used to the way of communicating with Amber: "..."
After the security patrol left, Scarface Anton dared to speak, with a hint of surprise and awe: "Sister, Are you... really a member of the upper class? Even the lord’s soldiers salute you!”
“Nonsense, didn’t I tell you before? I am now the lord’s guard,” Amber glanced. He glanced at the bald man and said, "And if I didn't have this identity, how do you think I got the passage order signed by Viscount Andrew Leslie for you No. 100 people?"
Anton Hehehe smiled: "The Viscount wishes people like us to get out of his territory as soon as possible."
"That's right... Come on, don't talk nonsense here, I will take you to see the world." ! ”
