Chapter 215
During the lunch break.

Because of the short distance, the pioneer team's lunch was shipped directly from Twilight City.

Knight Daeron was full of energy. When others were resting, he came out instead and picked up the dead gray leopard.

"I'll give you an extra meal at noon today. This guy's meat is very good, not comparable to ordinary beasts."

The crowd burst into cheers, and the fire ignited.

The skinned gray leopard was cut into pieces and grilled over the fire.

Soon the fragrance will overflow.

"Master Matthew, when will this road be completed?"

"It will take half a year anyway."

"Even with this new material?"

Daeron looked at the road, which was only paved for a short distance.

This latest paving material is named asphalt, which was just developed by the workshop. It was originally a warm semi-fluid form. After cooling and solidifying, the state is very stable, and it has a certain degree of softness and toughness. It can effectively It is the best material for road construction to reduce the wear of horseshoes and wheels, but it is not practical for construction.

Most critically, it lays faster than stucco.

Use a bucket truck with a gap in the rear, and the bucket truck filled with asphalt is pushing, while the material is leaking from the bottom, and the rear is generally flattened with tools, which is simple and fast.

"The so-called trade route is not just one road." Matthew looked into the distance: "This will be the busiest trade route between Xia Ya and the Western Continent in the future. There must be a supply station, a hotel, and a venue in the middle. Parking vehicles, loading and unloading goods, and gradually there will be shops and vendors. All these supporting facilities have been built, and it is already very optimistic in half a year.

"In addition, these are only our Xia Ya's side. As for how to operate the Western Continent, we have to discuss with the Principality of Banna."

"Then if people don't agree in the end, wouldn't our road construction be in vain?" Dai Lun was taken aback.

"The lord said that they will definitely agree." Matthew said confidently.

Hearing this, Daeron nodded and said nothing, and then asked:
"The names of these things called asphalt are so strange. What are they made of?"

"It was named by the lord himself. There are many ways to obtain it. The most convenient way is to extract it from black water. However, black water is too rare and precious. Currently, the asphalt produced by the workshop is ground into powder with limestone. Finely crushed gravel, mixed with banyan tree juice to mix a medicine, the effect is similar to that of black water extract, but the cost is only a little higher than that of mortar.

"However, I don't know exactly how to do it. I only learned alchemy engineering. For the real alchemy, I have to ask Mr. Nahum and others." While speaking, Matthew looked at the inner who was stretching not far away. ham.

When the lunch arrived, the meat had just been roasted.

Everyone had a good meal and enjoyed the rare rest time before the start of work in the afternoon.

Roderick sat on the ground under a big tree, turned his head and asked the subordinates next to him.

"Mandy, I remember you were from Baron Willy's territory before."

"Yes, my lord," Mandy showed a look of reminiscence: "My family members passed away very early, so after the lord regained the territory, I chose to come to Twilight City, and was finally selected into the fortress army."

"Do you want to go back? Now that Qiuyuan City has been built, I heard from Miss Jennifer that there is also a great need for people there."

"Actually, it's pretty much the same for me." Mandy thought for a moment: "I don't miss the life there at all. I used to be able to endure the days of not having enough food and clothing for so long. Captain, you may not know, I When the youngest brother was born, His Majesty had already abolished slaves, but none of us knew that we were still Baron Willy’s serfs until the day you led the troops to fight...

"I will never forget that day, Miss Jennifer gathered all of us together and told us that Lord Xia Ya has abolished the status of all of us as slaves, and from now on everyone will have land to grow and food to eat.

"To be honest, none of us believed it at that time. How could such a good thing happen suddenly? Until later...Captain, don't laugh when you say it. I still have to confirm the previous news every morning when I wake up. Is the experience a dream..."

When Mandy said this, she was both excited and emotional, and she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Roderick said with a smile: "It will only get better and better in the future."

"I think so too," Mandy said firmly.

"Then think about it for yourself. If you want, I can transfer you to Qiuyuan City, where the fortress army is also needed to guard." Roderick said.

"Oh." Mandy struggled for a while, Qiuyuan City can see the beautiful Miss Jennifer, and Winter City can directly guard the lord.

What a tough choice.

inside the laboratory.

Colin put a metal ring in the shape of an armguard on his left forearm, then put on a white lab coat and self-made goggles.

After everything was ready, after taking two deep breaths, the mental power began to work slowly.

After the magic pattern on the metal armguard flashed a blue light, the temperature suddenly increased.

Colin endured it for a while, and finally chose to give up. He immediately took off the armguard and threw it on the ground with a "clang".

This is his latest teleportation experiment.

It is not difficult to understand, it is nothing more than engraving the teleportation circle on the arm guard, and then further simplifying the wind core collider.

If it succeeds, it means that he can teleport back to the castle anytime and anywhere in the future, which not only makes the teleportation much more convenient, but also an extremely effective means of self-protection.

It's a pity that I tried several times, but failed because of the problem of the instrument.

There has never been any progress on the issue of relying on the wind-nuclear collider.

There is still a long way to go to achieve the imagined "flash" and "unlimited teleportation".

Colin sighed, took off his glasses, took off his lab coat, changed into his usual clothes, and walked out of the lab.

……

Apart from teaching in Ilia, every time Colin returned to the fortress recently, no one paid any attention to him.

Although there is still a month to go, the inside and outside of the castle is already full of festive atmosphere. Even the roads of the entire Winter City have started to arrange lanterns and garlands, and many people spontaneously put up lights and festoons at the door.

With the new year and winter, except for the opening of the trade route on Matthew's side, the progress of all aspects of work has slowed down.

The plantation is relatively the most leisurely time at this time, and Sophia has also left the work to her subordinates these few days, and ran to the castle to help Tessa with the wedding arrangements.

On the contrary, Colin himself has nothing to do except sometimes being dragged to try on various clothes.

Occasionally trying to help out with ideas will be despised by Tessa and Sophia.

It seems that everyone is very busy at this wedding, but it has nothing to do with him.

But it's also fun.

Ke Lin returned to the study, poured himself a cup of black tea, and was going to find a few academic journals to pass the time.

However, not long after sitting down, Roderick came to report in person.

"My lord, please report from the front. The officials and guards of honor sent by His Majesty have arrived thirty miles outside Mudong City."

"Got it." Colin counted the time, and it was about the same.

"There is another piece of news." Roderick continued: "The two princes also came with the guard of honor."

Colin was slightly taken aback when he heard this.Xin said that the teacher had never mentioned this matter.

Then I remembered.

It seems that I haven't visited the teacher for a long time.
