After hearing Byron’s words, Gao Wen finally stopped: “Girl?”

"Yeah..." The Byron Knight's face almost wrinkled an abstract picture. "I found it when I gave her a shower, and it scared me!"

Gao Wen's eyebrows trembled twice, and the expression looked weirdly at the middle-aged knight: "Don't say that you have a bad idea, the child is probably less than ten years old."

Byron listened to this and hurriedly waved his hand: "It can't be impossible. Although I am a mercenary, I have no vulgarity to this extent, but I think I am afraid I can't adopt her..."

Gao Wen felt interesting and was not in a hurry to continue to study his own information. Instead, he looked at Mr. Knight’s eyes: “Why? Because she is a woman, so you feel that you cannot adopt her as your heir? Can’t see you. Still an old-fashioned guy in this regard."

"Of course not because of this," Byron bitterly. "She saved my life. I have no problem in passing my martial arts and property to her. It’s just that I am a big old man... How can I raise a good one? Girl? I thought it was a boy. I don’t know what to do now..."

Gao Wen smiled, but the line of sight suddenly crossed the body of the Byron Knight and looked in the direction of the tent door.

A thin and small figure is standing there.

Byron also realized what he was, hesitating and looking back, and he saw that he didn’t know when to secretly follow the little dumb he ran.

He... She had already taken a shower, combed her hair, and changed her clean rags, but the bridge that "wandering dirty children took a bath and changed clothes and became a little princess" did not happen to this child. . Now she can see that she is a girl, but she has not become much better than before: long-term malnutrition and labor beyond the body load make her look yellow and thin, rough skin, and her hair is like a bunch of dry weeds. On the head, even after combing, her body is thin and her face is dry and depressed because of lack of nutrition. There is no lovely place.

She was sloppy and followed, as if she realized that the place could not be chaotic until now, and now she stood at the door in a stupid manner, while carefully holding her hands together, her face full of tension and helplessness.

She should have heard the conversation between Gao Wen and Byron.

"Your daughter came to you." Gao Wen smiled and looked at Byron, then waved to the dumb girl at the door and let the child come over.

"Adult..." Byron screamed a little, but then saw that the little dumb was walking towards himself, and the expression on his face quickly became embarrassed and upset. "You... how did you come, not to say this? Can't the place run around?"

"Byron," Gao Wen said. "I know that you think this is very difficult, but you can't throw this child aside. Since you promised to adopt her, then this promise should not be built on any follow-up. On the condition. Take care of her."

"I..." Byron opened his mouth, but in the end he nodded. "Yes, I understand."

"If you are in trouble, you can ask someone for help. Some people in the territory know who should take care of the children. Don't let go of their knights and I don't think you have such a shelf." Gao Wen laughed. "This child not only saved you." It also helped me. I can make a lot of credit for the crisis in Tanzan Town. This child brought good luck to our territory. We can't treat her badly."

The Byron Knight nodded, and the little dumb looked at Gao Wen with a squint, and looked at Byron. She could understand what these people were saying, but they didn’t understand the profound content of the knights and territories, so it seemed a bit dazed. .

At this time Gao Wen suddenly asked: "Do she have a name?"

"Name?" Byron seemed to think of this at this time. "Oh, I don't know her name... I used to panic."

"She should have a name by herself, but she won't talk. I'm afraid we can't know what her name is," Gao Wen glanced at the little dumb. "Do you want us to give you a name?"

The dumb child immediately reached out to draw a stroke, but Gao Wen and Byron did not understand her at all. After a difficult communication failure, the little dumb suddenly screamed and ran out. The tent.

Gao Wen and Byron stunned on the ground and decided to wait and see. After a long time, the child ran out of breath.

She reached out in front of Gao Wen and lay a few peas in her hand.

After a long period of reaction, Gao Wencai guessed the meaning of the child: "You mean, your name is pea?"

The dumb child nodded hard, one hand grabbed the belt of the coarse skirt a little bit hard, and the other hand sent the pea forward a little.

This reaction came over Byron: "You don't want a new name, you want to continue to call peas?"

The dumb child started to work hard again.

"The name should be given by her parents. If it is the name given by the businessman who cut off her tongue, she won't pay such attention," Gao Wen guessed. "Peas...when the name is about I hope she can fill her stomach."

As he said, he reached out and pressed the hair of the "pea". The touch was really like a weed.

"Although she can't talk, she can understand. In the future, you can pay attention to your words and deeds and give your child an example." Gao Wen smiled and looked at Byron, and at the same time thought about it. "Yes, Buying serfs and handing over the displaced people in the town of Tanzan now has the help of the Viscount Andrew. You don’t need to stare at yourself. You should hand it over to a few smart and capable hands. I have a new mission for you. ""

Upon hearing a new mission, the Byron Knight immediately stood up straight and looked serious.

"Don't be so nervous, the mission site is in the territory. I want you to organize a group of people and go to the ruins in the dark mountains to check the situation."

Byron was curious: "Are you ready to explore it all?"

"The Viscount Andrew dug up the pieces of the eternal slate under the Tanzanite mine. I am more and more worried about the ruins in our territory. I have to speed up the progress." Gao Wen nodded. "You are a mercenary, right. There should be some experience in exploring such ruins. Look for some cautious and courageous hands, bring the best equipment, first find all the corridors and rooms in the shallow floor and draw them into a map. I don't ask for speed, it is safe. And meticulously, I don’t want experienced fighters to die in that place, and I don’t want you to miss something important, understand?”

Byron straightened up: "Yes, please rest assured, I do have some experience in this area and will not let you down."

The Byron Knight left, and Gao Wen walked out of the tent and looked at the territory that had grown up day by day.

Not long ago, it was just a "camp."

The frosty month is approaching, the weather is getting colder every day, and the new Cecil leader is getting on the right track. The first generation of the magic engine has been adjusted and optimized by the Nicholas egg. From the prototype to the utility machine, it has now officially appeared. In front of the people, this strange shape is endless. The machine that relies on magic but can be manipulated by ordinary people has shocked many people's eyes. When they were just put into use, many serfs and civilians even Looking at the machines with fear, they seem to think that there are countless invisible little devils between the repulsive organs and the connecting rod bearings. It is the hand of the devil that is pushing the heavy and terrible steel operation, so the initial operators It is difficult to recruit, and even with coercive means to ensure that each machine has enough people to manipulate...

But this ignorant and ridiculous situation lasted only a short time.

At the request of Gao Wen, the system of "preaching" and "educating" was pursued on the territory. All new things, whether new laws or new machines, must read education repeatedly to the people. Gao Wen made up his mind to be here. The ignorance and ignorance are eliminated on the land, so within a few days, people know that the machines are a brand new magic device that can be manipulated by ordinary people not because the devil in the machine is taking the soul and flesh of ordinary people. It is the crystallization of wisdom and technology.

In the propaganda, Gao Wen deliberately emphasized the existence of “ordinary people” in the entire machine R&D team. In particular, the names of all the craftsmen involved in the early development were engraved on the surface of the machine, and the craftsmen lived with everyone on weekdays. They have thus gained countless admiration and admiration, and Gao Wen’s harvest is the spirit of the sermons and civilians who have been numb and ignorant.

Now in the territory, I can already see ordinary people walking with a smile on their faces.

Under the enthusiasm of the magic engine, the various basic productions of the territory are proceeding at an astounding speed.

The mine is using the magic engine to pull the mine car and extract water seepage. The supply of iron ore is becoming stable. Now only the roads that limit the supply to the steel plant are not smooth, and Gao Wen has begun to order the construction. This section of the road, with the help of Herti's magic, is not difficult to level and build a simple road.

The production schedule of the mechanical manufacturer is shocking. Although the iron thigh of the iron star is not even more powerful than Gao Wen expected, all kinds of simple lathes he can think of are produced around the clock, if not in advance. Based on the magical grid-powered rune furnace and ample supply of ore, I am afraid that the steel reserves of the entire territory will not catch up with the consumption of Nicholas eggs.

The brick kiln factory has used a simple molding machine from the mechanical manufacturing plant, and Rebecca’s tossing “cement” has also achieved initial results. A cement material with a high strength is tossed out by her, although the yield and yield rate The problem is still great, but Gao Wen can already consider getting the territory out of the wooden house and tent and entering the stage of “hard houses”...

In the stage of the smooth development of such material construction, the biggest problem is the shortage of talents.

The labor force is not a problem for the time being, because the area that the territory has developed is temporarily so large, but the emerging new machinery and new technologies do not have enough talent to maintain and continue to promote.

Technological advancement cannot be done by a few people. Although a few geniuses can make things that change the times, but to promote these applications and form a continuous industrial chain, a lot of low-end technology is needed. Staff.

There are not many "geniuses" in the 100 people, and there are not many talents.

Not everyone who is repelled by the mainstream society is genius. Many times they are excluded by the mainstream society. Emotional intelligence, which is lost because of low EQ, will not become a skill point and add to IQ.

Although Gao Wen said that "the territory welcomes the deviant", it is more to encourage and inspire others. He himself knows that it is quite unrealistic to expect the king to screen him a hundred times. And the fact is also true: in addition to Jenny, such a huge talent and a few good seedlings, the rest of the 100 people are basically mediocre, may be able to complete their work, but can not ask More.

I don't know how many intellectuals can be found for the Viscount Andrew's side... Considering the overall level of education in this era, you can't expect too much.

At this moment, the shouts from not far away suddenly interrupted Gao Wen’s thoughts.

"Ancestors! Ancestors!" Rebecca yelled and ran to the side and ran to her side. She ran and waved her signature iron wand, the other hand. Then wave a large roll of paper.

Gao Wen saw that the iron ruler in the girl’s hand suddenly subconsciously saw that it was from the ancestors’ test of the pacifier method.

But then he saw Rebecca followed by a Jenny, the lady of the Rune Master holding more scrolls, she was very hard to run behind Rebecca, while running and greeted Beka is a little slower.

Gao Wen was relieved: it seems that Rebecca is not rushing to murder ancestors...

After the two of them ran to the front, Gao Wen looked curiously at his former n1 granddaughter: "Slow down slowly, and breathe evenly. What happened?"

"I... We studied the notes of the wild mage and... and the laws of the runes," Rebecka gasped, and finally took a deep breath and said, "And then we give the unlimited expansion of the magic net. Out!!"
