Cecil Territory is a seemingly peaceful and prosperous place, but in fact, due to Gawain's sense of crisis, this land has been prepared for war from the very beginning—whether the enemy is a mutant or a human.In the past year, Gao Wen has opened up trade routes in three directions. Today, various ores from the Lesley Territory in the west, medicinal materials and wheat from the Kant region in the north, grain, fur, Textile raw materials are continuously being sent to the warehouse every day.

Outsiders only know that Cecil collar has earned astonishing wealth in fields such as alchemy potions and magic machinery, but they probably can't imagine that more than half of this wealth is actually spent at the same astonishing speed, becoming a high-ranking man. War preparation materials in the Wen warehouse...

"In addition to stockpiling supplies, we also need to consider issues such as maintenance of law and order in the territory, public opinion, logistics, distribution of supplies, etc. once a war breaks out," Gao Wen said, not only looking at Hetty, but also at everyone present, " Cecil has a prosperity and order that far exceeds that of the outside world, and what we want to prove is that even in the event of war, this prosperity and order are far superior to any place."

After finishing all preparations for the battle, Gao Wen announced the end of the meeting, but the atmosphere was still tense and serious.

Seeing this situation, he laughed: "Of course, we are here just to prepare for a rainy day, maybe this negotiation will end smoothly, maybe nothing will happen, so don't be overly nervous - life is still going to happen of."

Amber couldn't help muttering when she heard this: "Why did I panic even more when you said that..."

Gawain immediately glared at this guy: "How do you say that?"

Amber muttered: "Last time you said that it would be fine if the aberrations didn't come to attack, but in the end, more than 3000 monsters came to attack the city without the end of winter..."

Gawain slapped the half-elf on the head: "If Rebecca isn't here, you'll be in charge of the head, right?!"

"Oh, it hurts!"

Thanks to Miss Half Elf for her dedication and sacrifice, after Gawain slapped her, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became less tense and serious...

After taking Amber's honesty, Gao Wen remembered something, so he looked at Byron: "Speaking of which, winter is over, and it seems that the exploration of the rest of the 'Fortress of Disobedience' can start again."

After Kamel joined the Cecil Territory, many secrets of the ruins in the mountain were solved, and its name was changed to the official name of the Gondor Empire, "Fortress of Rebellion". It came in handy, after the transformation of the modern magic net, it was connected to energy, and became the location of an arsenal, a sophisticated equipment manufacturing plant, and a warehouse of combat readiness materials, but a large part of it is still hidden in the unknown dark depths.

Although Kamel was one of the high-level technicians who disobeyed the fortress in the past, the scale of the ancient fortress was too large, and there were too many secrets buried inside. Only the royal family of Gondor held all the secrets of the fortress. So Kamel just helped Gao Wen draw the structural diagram of the bottom layer of the fort and the area of ​​the fort. As for the situation in the south and east of the fort, it is still a mystery.

After winter, Gawain suspended his exploration of the unknown area of ​​the Rebel Fortress, and ordered people to temporarily block the corridors leading to the south and east areas of the fortress, but now that winter is over and the weather is gradually getting warmer, he thinks it is time to The project was restarted.

Chapter 0370 A New Movement in the Territory

Is there a bigger secret hidden in the fortress of disobedience?

No one can make it clear that even Kamel, who worked in the rebellious fortress and was even sealed for thousands of years with the rebellious fortress in the Shadow Realm, doesn't know the whole picture of this huge plan and huge building.

The disobedient fort back then had a very strict authority control and access control system. Each area in the fort had its own person in charge, and was controlled by a fortress council with the highest authority. Although these areas and departments jointly implemented the rebellious plan, they had different Parts, but they are actually in a semi-isolated state from each other. Unless the permission of the Supreme Council is obtained and a series of extremely complicated inspections and "purification" procedures are carried out, the movement of personnel in each area is strictly prohibited. According to Kamel's memory, It is very difficult to obtain this kind of permission. Basically, it is only possible under extremely special circumstances. 90.00% of the people in the fortress have never entered the area outside their area of ​​responsibility...

Gao Wen could only think of one reason for such strict internal control: to prevent being infected by the power of the gods.

Now that a thousand years have passed, according to Kamel's guess, except for the remaining samples of gods in the rebellious fortress and related facilities of the fortress, the entire fortress should have been completely evacuated, and there will be nothing related to the gods left, but in In some areas, less important research materials and "safety samples" should still be sealed. Gao Wen was very curious about what else he could find in that huge ancient facility if he continued to send people to explore further.

Byron nodded, ready to take over the task of continuing to explore the Fortress of Disobedience, but Soldering next to him suddenly interrupted him: "Wait a minute—can you entrust the task of exploring the Fortress of Disobedience to me and the 'Iron Rangers'? "

Gawain looked at Soldering, who explained: "The combat corps is getting bigger and bigger, and there is a new round of expansion and training plans recently, as one of the commanders of the combat corps, Knight Byron is no longer suitable to go there in person. After carrying out this kind of exploration mission, it is better to hand it over to the newly established Iron Rangers—this kind of mission performed by the squad in an unknown environment is also in line with the positioning of the Iron Rangers, and I can use it to train my newcomers.”

"Well... indeed," Gawain agreed with Soldering's statement after a little thought, "Then this task is entrusted to you. Byron, please hand over the progress and detailed information of the previous exploration. In addition, Sol Delin, you'd better make more preparations before setting off, this task is not urgent, you can set off within a week, the southern and eastern areas of the rebel fortress are relatively seriously abandoned, and the situation is complicated and unclear, so don't act rashly."

Faced with Gawain's advice, Soldering nodded solemnly—although he is an experienced and powerful high-level ranger, no powerful high-level ranger would be able to face an ancient ruin with a history of 1000 years. Take it lightly.

……

After finishing the meeting in the Lord's Mansion, Soldering did not return to the station in the military zone, but came to the machinery manufacturing plant in the east of the territory.

Today's machinery manufacturing plant has undergone several expansions and transformations, and is no longer a simple manufacturing plant, but a large-scale facility integrating R&D, testing, and manufacturing. There are two large laboratories and several For workshops with different functions, the blueprint drawn by Gao Wen through knowledge derivation and multiple tests in the "simulation test field" of the Eternal Sleeper Network is the industrial product that has been transformed step by step into deeds in these laboratories and workshops. spread throughout the territory.

Solderling came directly to the "craftsman's hall" of the Machinery Manufacturing Institute - this is the heart area of ​​the entire Machinery Manufacturing Institute. This circular hall is located on the site of the wooden workshop shed when the Machinery Manufacturing Institute was first established. But it is not what it is today.Various mechanical processing tables and research tables are scattered and orderly in the large hall, but the most eye-catching one is the circular platform slightly above the ground in the center of the hall.The diameter of this platform is about ten meters, and there is a small pit in the center. Apart from that, there are no other facilities and equipment. You can only see many kinds of metal ingots piled up on various places on the platform, and the water coming from the patio directly above The sun was now hitting the center of the terrace—it was empty.

Solderling did not see Nicholas Egg on the "Machine Round Table", but only saw a lot of busy "Mechanics Bachelors" nearby (some people in Cecil called those magicians who specialize in machines ), he curiously came to a mechanical bachelor in white overalls: "Is Mr. Egg not there?"

The machinist with a big beard and thick hands and feet was taken aback for a moment before he realized: "Mr. Egg... Oh, you are talking about the director? The director just went out."

Soldering frowned: "Where did he go?"

"Over there at the Gear Square," the Bachelor of Mechanics said with a place name that is very characteristic of an industrial area, "he must still be there when you passed by now."

Solderling couldn't think of what Nicholas Egg, who usually never leaves the machine factory except working with metal, would go to the crowded square to do, but he still thanked him: "Gear Square... Okay, thank you gone."

Then he left the machinery manufacturing plant and headed straight for the gear square.

The Gear Square is not far away. It is opposite the Machinery Manufacturing Plant and the Iron and Steel Foundry. There is a special tall bush wall between the square and several factory buildings to absorb and isolate noise.After crossing the square, there are several main residential areas where the workers and their families live in the factory area. Every day, the workers living in the residential area will go to work in the factory through the entire gear square and the high bush wall. , the square is also an important place for the residents of the factory area to spend their time.

The high shrub wall used to isolate factories and residential areas was planted and catalyzed by Pittman and his apprentices under the instruction of Gawain.

When Soldering came to the Gear Square, he immediately discovered that there might be some activities going on here.

There is a large open space next to the square, and there are many people gathered there now, and cheers and shouts can be heard from the crowd from time to time, as if some kind of competition is going on in the open space, Soldering easily Passed through the crowd quickly, and then saw the scene of fierce fighting in the open space at a glance: two teams of people were running in the rectangular open space, with cloth strips of two colors tied on their heads to divide them into two teams, and some kind of people with animals The leather sphere was what they were fighting for, and they kicked it around with all their might, trying to get it into the two rough wooden doorframes at the edge of the clearing.

The scene was very chaotic, with almost no order and coordination between the two teams fighting, and the "referee" standing on the edge of the open space seemed to not understand the rules, and spent most of the time shouting along with the surrounding audience. But these people are still playing happily and enthusiastically, and the people watching are also very excited, and the cheers are endless-many times they are not cheering for the goal, but just for someone on the field. A fantastic fall cheers.

Even though he has lived in human society for 700 years, Soldering rarely sees such a scene, especially among civilians—they may gather together, or cheer for some reason, But they would never devote themselves to such a passionate movement, the reason is very simple: How can civilians or even untouchables who can’t get enough to eat waste their precious energy on this kind of movement?

What's more, it is still the season of cold spring, and physical strength is extremely precious.

Solderin stared blankly at the movement in the open space, and related information slowly emerged in his mind: This... seems to be called football, something invented by an old friend not long ago, and soon after it was promoted. He was welcomed by the people in the territory...

In all fairness, Soldering prefers several board games invented by his old friends, but he can still feel some inexplicable attraction from the seemingly brutal and rough sports in front of him. Those feisty dwarves to the west will be interested.

At this moment, a bright metal reflection in the crowd interrupted the high-ranking ranger's thoughts. He raised his eyes and finally found his real goal here - the Nicholas egg was floating in the crowd, the huge and The funny smile shining in the sun is clearly visible no matter how far away.

After a period of adaptation, the citizens of Cecil Territory seem to have fully adapted to this strange "Master Craftsman". The one who got used to it was the siren lady with a very awkward walking posture - after all, the number of times Tyre went out was too limited.

Solderling quickly passed through the crowd and leaned over, and greeted Nicholas Dan loudly (after all, the cheers around were too loud): "Mr. Egg, Mr. Egg!"

After shouting several times, the Nicholas egg shook as if waking up from a big dream, and then the giant metal ball slowly turned around, and a buzzing sound came out from inside the ball: "Oh my god...it's so exciting..."

"Mr. Egg, what's so exciting?" Soldering asked loudly, "By the way, can we find a quieter place? I have something to do with you..."

"Okay, okay, get out of here..." Nicholas made a buzzing sound, but his body was obviously not floating very stably, "You...you help me by the side, I'm a little weak..."

Solderin looked at Nicholas' ball-rolled and naked body with a confused face—where is this fucking help?

But fortunately, Nicholas himself didn't pursue the details. After Soldering put his hands on him with a strange expression, he followed the high-ranking ranger and left the crowd erratically.

After waiting outside the crowd, the iron ball star man's condition improved a bit, and then he sighed again: "Oh my god...it's so exciting..."

Solderin turned to look at the other party: "So what is so exciting?"

"22 people scrambling to kick a ball—sometimes the referees go up and kick it, it's too exciting..." Nicholas said with a sense of fear in his tone, "Is football so cruel..."

With the knowledge and breadth of thinking accumulated by Soldering's 700 years of travel, it took him a long time to guess what Mr. Egg meant. The expression of this high-level ranger was unprecedentedly weird: "You... look at this. Doesn’t it feel similar to how we see people killing people in the street?”

"It's more serious than that—it's not more than 20 people killing each of you in the street..."

The corners of Solderin's eyes twitched: "I understand your feelings... Then you made a special trip to watch football, is it for excitement?"

"No way!" Nicholas's tone was almost crazy, "I just heard that a ball game is popular in the territory, I thought it was prepared for me, I just wanted to come here to sign up - luckily I didn't Ah! They're not short of men at all right now, but almost every team is short of balls..."

The corners of Solderin's eyes became more and more trembling. He looked Nicholas up and down, and thought that the other party didn't need to be so nervous. With his size and real weight, he might have to be a giant in ancient legends to move on the field. Bar……

However, considering the great stimulation that the iron-ball player had just received, Soldering was still not ashamed to say what was in his heart, but quickly changed the subject: "Actually, I came to you because I have something to ask."

"Ah...ah, what's the matter, please?" Nicholas Dan responded, "What's the matter?"

"You should already know that I am forming the 'Iron Rangers', and the lord also gave me a task, asking me to design or improve a new type of magic weapon based on the ranger's combat experience," Soldering said Get down to business, with a serious expression, "I'm looking for you because I have a few 'orders' and I want you to help with the design."

"Oh? You can also design magical weapons?" When talking about his major, Nicholas Dan immediately became refreshed, and the previous mental trauma seemed to heal instantly. "Do you have a concept map or a target requirement list?"

Soldering smiled slightly: "I can't give you the concept map, but there are still some goals."

Chapter 0371 Soldering's Order

Soldering is not an expert in magic technology, and he doesn't really understand how the machines and mass-produced magic circles created by Gawain work, but he is at least an experienced fighter and well-informed A good adventurer - he can see the huge advantages and broad prospects of those unprecedented and incredible magical weapons, and he can roughly imagine what kind of environment these weapons can be used in, that's enough.

Of course, Soldering himself knew that the judgment he made based on his past experience was still not enough. Those new weapons were too powerful and the concept was too advanced. The idea of ​​"strength" is a crazy but real tendency in Cecil Territory, so the high-level ranger Mr. himself is not sure how far those armed forces will eventually develop, but one thing he can be sure of - he knows that he wants to What do you want.

"The Iron Rangers that the lord ordered me to train are a brand new type of troops, and he also gave me the task of designing new weapons and verifying new tactics. You know, this is a very challenging task," Soldering said. He said with a smile—because Mr. Nicholas Egg always had a smile (funny) in front of him, which made everyone who talked to him laugh, "So I have some... advanced ideas. We You can find a quiet place to talk about those designs in detail."

"Of course, we can go to the machinery factory," Nicholas said buzzingly, getting up and floating, "Well...there are too many people in the craftsman's hall, let's go to my office."

The office of Nicholas Egg is located next to the Artisan Hall, which is not only his office, but also his usual place of residence.This is a room that few people come in and visits except Rebecca and Gawain. It is probably difficult for outsiders to imagine how a ball with a diameter of [-] meters lives and rests. Soldering is also curious about it. , and after entering this cylindrical room, he saw a lot of strange-looking... things.

He saw that there were many high and low metal columns lined up in the room, and some mirror-like metal plates were inlaid on the walls. There were no beds, tables and chairs that humans needed in the room, but there was one that could make Nicholas The circular platform where the egg rests and rests is located in the center of the room. Beside the circular platform, Soldering also saw a three-tiered shelf filled with various metal crafts, but the appearance of those crafts It looks really... Strange, some of them look like sails with complex structures, some are like nested rings, and some are simply twisted and tangled metal clumps. Soldering believes that even if it is No matter how good an art connoisseur is, he can't see the significance of these things here.

"You made all of this?" He looked curiously at the big metal ball floating in front of him, "These... decorations?"

"I made it with leftover materials in my spare time," Nicholas said humbly, "My memory is incomplete, but occasionally some hazy impressions emerge, and Gao Wen suggested that I make those hazy impressions that emerge into models and preserve them. , which might help me remember something. Of course, this method has not worked so far, but it is still fun to make these gadgets. I guess these things must be things I used to touch frequently in the past, so they are in the ring So impressed in the polarizer—oh, the circular polarizer is my memory organ. Leaving that aside, tell me what you think."

Soldering's attention was suddenly diverted from the "artifacts" in the room, he coughed twice and said: "First of all, it is about the protective gear currently used by Cecil combat soldiers - as far as I know, Their magic armor has a 'lining' with various runes drawn on it, right?"

"That's right. The original version of the magic armor directly engraved the runes on the metal armor, but this would easily cause the runes to fail when the armor was impacted and vibrated, and it was not conducive to upgrades and replacements, so we added Tactical liner, made of tough leather," said Nicholas Egg, randomly pulling out an iron ingot from a nearby pile of metal ingots, and the metal floated between him and Soldering, and seemed to be It changed shape rapidly in mid-air like a liquid, and within a few breaths, it became the current standard armor of Cecil combat soldiers, and the various parts of the armor were scattered and displayed in front of Solderin, "This part -- that's where the tactical liner is."

"The tactical liner is a lot like cotton or leather armor worn inside a steel armor, but its main function is to carry runes, so the coverage and protection are lower than leather armor - this is also to reduce cost," Nicholas Egg continued, "At present, the runes we integrate on the tactical lining are mainly weight reduction techniques, which are used to reduce the overall burden on soldiers from the armor; weak elemental protection, which is used to enhance soldiers' resistance to low-level magic; breeze The shield can resist a certain degree of external attack, and can be used to resist poisonous environments. In addition, we have also set up protective runes to resist high and low temperatures. Although they are all weak, they are enough to make soldiers Survive longer in the environment."

Looking at this set of armor that can almost turn ordinary people into low-level superhumans, Soldering couldn't help asking curiously, "Are these things powered by combat backpacks?"

"That's right, there is a high-power magic capacitor in the combat backpack. In addition to charging the weapon crystal, the surplus energy is supplied to this armor." Nicholas floated his body up and down, "The largest in this armor The most energy-consuming unit is weight reduction, but that is also the most important part - without it, the physical exertion of soldiers will increase exponentially."

Soldering thought about it carefully, and said: "If we give up this layer of steel armor, or only keep the light armor, and reduce the amount of combat crystals carried, can we also reduce the combat backpack?"

"...It's true in theory," Nicholas thought for a while, "but the protection will be greatly reduced..."

"It can be replaced by adding stone skin runes to the inner lining-although its effect is weaker than the steel armor forged by the Cecil collar, it can also provide soldiers with protection against ordinary light swords, and the stone skin As a basic rune group, runes consume much less energy than formal spells like Weight Loss," Solderin said of his own thoughts, "According to my conception, the Iron Ranger is not an essential spell. For units that are confronting the enemy head-on, even if we have to attack, we will leave immediately after one blow-so it is better to save the weight of armor and combat backpacks and use them elsewhere.”

"Understood, I will consider the plan," Nicholas said while using another piece of metal ingot to "knead" the model of the items that Solderin needs, "other than that?"

"There is also weapons. In addition to being equipped with magic terminals equipped with heat ray guns and force field shields, I hope that the Iron Rangers can also have some more powerful offensive weapons..." Soldering said, thinking On one side, he couldn't help thinking about the dangerous encounter on the Typhon border last winter, thinking of the mysterious cultist who died of all things, and the battle between himself and the opponent.

"In actual combat, I found one thing, that is, traditional magic skills have limits. There are too many factors that can affect the effect of a spell, such as personal talent, the environment of the battlefield, and the physical condition of the caster. The magic weapon is different...as long as you still have the strength to pull the trigger, it will definitely exert a reliable power...and it is impossible to defend against." Soldering showed a serious look on his face, "This is a crystal grenade told me..."

Nicholas was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "So what do you want to say?"

"What I'm trying to say is...those things that just pull a ring and press a button and they explode, they're amazing!" Soldering had a big smile on his face, "They'll be loyal no matter what. To achieve your goal as quickly as possible, I hope that every soldier of the Iron Rangers can use these loyal weapons...Let me just say it clearly, how small can the magic crystal railgun be made?"

Nicholas was stunned for a few seconds before he realized: "What?!"

"I have seen the original version of the 'Justice·I' magic crystal railgun, and I have also seen the lightweight 'Persuader·I' accelerator," Solderin said, "The volume of the 'Persuader' is almost as small as One-fifth of the size of 'Justice', it can be pulled by a carriage, but it is said that it can still smash down the city wall. According to Miss Rebecca, the acceleration trajectory can actually be further reduced. If the energy storage crystal is used to power If so, the heavy overload device and the energy-gathering base can also be omitted, she once told me a plan to reduce the extreme lightening of the accelerated rail gun, I think this plan is feasible..."

Nicholas listened to Solderling in a daze, and it took a long time before he said something: "...you said just now that you want to reduce the weight of the armor, I thought you were going to let the Iron Rangers take the light weight route...the result Now you say you're going to let them carry a small magic crystal railgun?! Do you know that even if the weight is reduced, it is still a big thing?"

"I have to emphasize two points. First, the Iron Rangers don't have to carry all the weapons on their bodies every mission. I hope to design an 'arsenal' for them that contains a variety of weapons. This arsenal is shared by the entire Ranger team. Use, according to the mission requirements, each soldier will carry different equipment, the miniaturized magic crystal rail gun is only one of their spare weapons; secondly, light armor and heavy weapons are not contradictory, in the Silver Empire, the Elven Ranger Guards There is a kind of heavy spear thrower, the weapon used is a heavy disposable spear, they are lightly armored soldiers, in order to carry the spear and throw it conveniently, their upper body even only has a leather chest protector - but they are in the forest The most dangerous hunter. I hope the Iron Ranger can achieve the same effect."

"...Okay, okay, anyway, you know how to do this, I'll go back and find people from the Institute of Magic Technology to study together," Nicholas Dan was persuaded, and said while recording Solderin's request, "Then except for light individual soldiers Railgun, what else do you need?"

"A tactical eyepiece with a distortion detection effect - I know this has been made, but it hasn't been installed yet. I hope to try it out first."

"Row."

"A small cutting tool that is easy to carry and wield flexibly. I have a blueprint for this, which is an elf dagger—but I hope you can transform it into something like a fusion sword. The fusion sword should be miniaturized, right?"

"It's a bit difficult, but it can be a challenge. Maybe it will be at the expense of reducing the continuous use time."

"Acceptable. I also want to increase the amount of grenades carried by soldiers, preferably adding extra grenade slots to their armor-but it should not affect mobility."

"...I knew it... By the way, do all of you elves have this fighting style?"

"That's not true." Soldering curled his lips in disdain. "How can they have my insight?"

Boss Egg: "..."

Chapter 0372 New Life in the Research Institute

Mage Cohen was walking in the spacious and bright corridor of the Institute of Magical Technology. Researchers wearing white magician technician robes came and went around him. From time to time, some people stopped to say hello to each other, and then they met and went to the place where they worked. laboratory.

Cohen also wore the same white robe.

It takes 72 steps to walk from the gate of the research institute to the front hall, and [-] steps to walk from the front hall to the first practical technology research room. There will be three doors and a corridor in the middle. Cohen will not stop on this familiar route. Walking unhurriedly, each step is extremely precise.

He lowered his head and glanced at himself. In fact, this white short robe had almost no decorations. It was just a metal stamped card pinned to the chest of the robe. His own name and a serial number were printed on the card, and This is not a magical robe—it is just a cloth robe. If there is anything special about it, almost everyone in this institute wears similar clothes, and this Clothes have a very unusual meaning in this land.

The identity represented by this dress is "Magic Technician", a title that has never been heard before and is unique in this land.

Since he came to this land, Cohen has been working in the Institute of Magic Technology for more than four weeks, that is, more than 40 days. It was not exactly the same as he imagined at first—he got his wish to meet the powerful ancient arcanist, and also saw the legendary pioneering hero. He also saw the magic net, the magic engine, etc. A magical creation of a lost technology, but apart from these, the environment he is in is quite different from what he imagined.

This is not a difficult and barren pioneering land, the Cecils have taken root here, and the prosperity is unimaginable, but at the same time, this is not a land that follows the ancient ritual system-although it was established by a real He is a true ancient hero, but Cecil's rules can almost be described as deviant in the eyes of Cohen, the king's mage.

The great freedom enjoyed by the common people, the retreat of the aristocratic system, the efficient control of the government affairs department... Cecil Territory is in the southern border of Ansu, but everything that happens here seems to be happening in a distant story. In the foreign land that appeared, Cohen thought that he was invited here as a mage, to study some ancient relics and musty classics, but he did not expect that he would become a "sorcerer" when he came here. "Apprentice Magus Technician", you have to learn a set of unheard of knowledge from scratch, and - learn with a group of mage apprentices, craftsmen, and scholars.

In this field, everyone's starting line is the same, and extraordinary people have no privileges.

To be honest, it was really hard to get used to at first, but now Cohen has gradually gotten used to it. He is not the heir of a noble family, nor is he a talented mage with outstanding talents. He is just a lucky businessman's son. He has never enjoyed the privileges of an extraordinary person in the circle of mages in Wangdu, so it is naturally much easier to adapt here.And he realized one thing more wisely, that is, no matter how deviant what happened in this land, he has no right to question it—because the order of this land was established by Gawain Cecil, The people of these orders also established the Ansu order 700 years ago.

All the so-called "rules of civilized society" in Ansu today are nothing more than the evolution of what the ancient hero said casually seven centuries ago after a long time, so what "etiquette" is discussed in Cecil "Orthodoxy" is meaningless at all. What the Founding Duke said is orthodoxy.

Cohen had made this belief clear early on, but he himself didn't know whether this belief came about after he saw the master Kamel bowing to Gawain Cecil with his own eyes...

With some wild thoughts in his mind, Cohen came to the door of the No. [-] Practical Technology Research Office, but before he opened the door, a young girl with flaxen single ponytail ran over from the corridor, waving Holding a rolled-up scroll: "Cohen! New Cecil Weekly! I got you—don't forget to come back and treat me to dinner!"

Cohen raised his hand to take the weekly newspaper from the girl, agreed casually, and then watched the girl happily run to another research room at the end of the corridor.

The girl is called Mediah, a sorcerer apprentice brought by Kant. She came earlier than Cohen, and became a "senior" in the magic technology research institute. Cohen's life in the research institute was not satisfied with her. care less.Mediah is a passionate girl, and seems to be deeply influenced by the lord's thinking, helpful and low-ranking, many people in the institute like this passionate girl.

Cohen shook his head with a smile, and walked into the laboratory where he was working while looking at the newspaper in his hand.
