What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 213 Opening up trade routes

All the way to the west from Twilight City, there is a large area of ​​barren land, full of trees, weeds, and beasts.

This was originally the commercial route from Winter City to the Principality of Banner in the Western Continent, but it has never been used since the succession of Duke Oliver because of financial and various reasons in the fortress.The original commercial roads can only be vaguely seen now, and most of them are covered by trees and weeds, making it impossible to pass through.

And from the first day after the new year, a group of people came back to this barren place.

Matthew led the team, Daeron Knight followed, the logging team cut and cleared the road ahead, and the construction team followed behind and started paving the road directly.And Roderick personally led more than [-] fortress defenders to guard the whole process.

Restarting the trade route has always been on the lord's agenda, but on the one hand, the workshop needs time to develop, and on the other hand, the construction team is not manned enough to fight on two fronts, and now the road and railway leading to Qiuyuan City have been built, Ke Lin was finally able to truly restart the plan of the trade road, and Daeron Knight also continued his great cause of road construction as he wished.

The specifications of this road are roughly the same as those leading to Qiuyuan City before, and the road with four carriages passing side by side is comparable to the Kingdom Avenue even in Thunder City.

Of the three continents known to mankind, the West Continent is located on the west side of the middle. The area is called the Horseshoe Sea.

The Western Continent and the Northern Continent are separated by a strait tens of miles away, while parts of the Southern Continent directly border on it.

However, this part of the land connection has not existed since ancient times. According to historical records, there are two more reliable guesses. One is that all continents and islands are drifting at a negligible speed, but it is difficult for humans to detect it. The other guess is that It was because of the ancient Dragon Clan war that the Western Continent and the Southern Continent bordered each other.

Dragons are an interesting topic. Judging from various historical and biological archaeological discoveries, this is a creature that is almost certain to exist, but all humans, even the older elves, have never seen a real dragon with their own eyes. .The most accepted guess at present is that this creature once ruled the world, but is now extinct.

Therefore, a sentence that humans often say is "I would rather believe that the dragon will appear in front of my eyes the next moment."

Of course, not everyone agrees. There will always be many ordinary people and magicians who are interested in history, claiming that the dragon is not extinct, but lives in an unknown place, and even set up some "dragon search teams" "The "Dragon Protection Organization" and other strange groups.This kind of thing is especially prevalent in the Western Continent.

……

Matthew looked at the enthusiastic team and calculated in his mind when the road would be completed.

Like Roderick, he will not stay here every day, but now that the project has just started, he has only sat in town for a few days to avoid any unexpected problems.

The title of Minister of Construction has been very stressful for Matthew.

As one of the first craftsmen's apprentices in the fortress, he was highly accomplished in alchemical engineering and architecture.

But to be honest, if he compares ancient architecture research or interior decoration, he is no match for the old craftsmen in Thunder City. It is said that Mr. Maltz, the Minister of Construction of the Kingdom, has more than 60 years of experience in architecture, and is familiar with everything from the classical era to the present. All architectural styles and craftsmanship.

In this regard, Matthew feels ashamed.

He is not without strengths, however.

If anyone can build a strong and practical house in the shortest time, Matthew will do his part.

Although he has only been in the industry for more than three years, the number of houses built by him is no less than that of those old craftsmen. This is of course due to the rapid construction speed of Mudong City and Qiuyuan City.In addition, Xia Ya's building materials are also different from other places. Compared with speed and sturdiness, it is completely bullying.

This kind of large-scale construction not only makes the city look brand new, but most importantly, it can train a large number of experienced craftsmen.

The morning sun was fully up, dispelling some of the early morning chill a bit.

When it was daylight, Matthew thought of his sister Ellie.

She should have woken up by this time and started her daily morning exercise.

The Lord Lord's order is very interesting and practical.

Ellie is really too weak. She was malnourished when she was a child, but now that life is better, she is busy at her desk every day, and her health has never been good.Matthew has persuaded her to exercise more countless times, but Ellie has always been perfunctory and has no actual action.

In the end, the words of the lord are the most effective.

It is said that soon, the lord will conduct an assessment for all magic apprentices.

What is the content of the assessment and what will happen after passing the assessment are all unclear, but it is clear that physical fitness is also included in the assessment.My younger sister is very strong. As a teacher, if she fails the assessment, she might not have the face to lecture students at school in the future.

Matthew was even a little fortunate that he didn't become a magic apprentice, but took the path of a craftsman's apprentice.

There are many thoughts.

Suddenly, the roar of a wild animal was heard in the distance.

Almost instantly, a beast with gray and white stripes sprang out from the woods on the south side, and ran straight towards a worker of the logging team.

However, before the worker could react, an arrow shot from the side and directly hit the side of the beast's belly.

"Roar!"

A shrill roar.

The momentum of the beast's raid was interrupted, and it fell to the ground halfway, rolling.

However, this little damage was not enough to be fatal. Enraged, it turned over and was about to continue desperately, but found that its limbs were stiff, and it was no longer as agile as before.

A soldier and the arrow set off at the same time, and arrived one step later, but the timing was just right.

The giant wide-bladed sword slashed across in an arc from bottom to top, just cutting through the neck of the beast that had just raised its head, and blood flowed instantly.

At the same time as the beast crashed to the ground, the others came to their senses.

After retreating a few steps subconsciously, he found that the battle had long since ended.

Roderick put away his bow and arrow, walked forward slowly, and took a look.

"My lord, it's the dragon's back gray leopard." The soldier who struck out to kill the beast stuck his big sword in the ground, leaned over to check it, and turned around to report.

"Isn't this thing supposed to live in the depths of the mountains? Why did it appear here?" Roderick frowned.

"It can only be said that this place is too desolate, and no one has come here for a long time." The soldier laughed.

"Mandy, how about the new weapon?" Roderick looked at the broadsword stuck in the ground.

"It's just amazing." The soldier named Mandy said this, grinning from ear to ear.
