Welcome, please remember the address of this site: , mobile phone reading, so that you can read the latest chapter of the novel "Sword of Dawn" at any time...

On the third day after reaching an agreement with Nicholas Egg, the "magic device from the ruins of ancient Gondor, storing an ancient soul, and forging friendship with the ancestors of Cecil" finally began to officially appear in New Cecil in front of the leading people.

From now on, the egg cannot be called "it", but "he".

His appearance naturally attracted a lot of attention - even the most numb serfs and slave laborers couldn't help but become curious about this metal ball. When the metal ball floated towards him, everyone could not help but stop and watch, and then discuss this thing with the people around him.

At first, many people were terrified, because the shape of Nicholas Egg was incredible, and it was too bright in the sun, it was like an orb that was about to explode at any time. When he saw this thing, he couldn't help but run away in exclamation, but Gawain specially sent some soldiers to preach and introduce the origin of this "magic device", and emphasized that inside the egg is actually a respectable ancient The scholar, only had to be trapped in the metal ball due to a magical accident. Apart from this strange appearance, he is no different from the people in the camp.

After preaching like this so many times, people are finally reluctant to accept such a metal ball - of course, a little bit of fear and nervousness is inevitable, but they do find that this chubby guy is harmless and can Only after making a voice to communicate with people, and with Gawain's promise, did everyone forcibly calm down.

And Nicholas Egg himself... This ball is very satisfied with his current situation.

From the first day he was exiled to this strange different world, he was in a difficult and embarrassing situation. First, he faced the strange environment, followed by the local people with bad intentions. He was caught in the laboratory as a research sample, and he was almost killed. The magisters of Gondor cut into metal shavings a thousand years ago, and were finally suppressed by those magisters with a random seal for a thousand years. When he opened his eyes, it was a new world after the collapse of civilization and technology. He thought he He was about to die in such continuous bad luck, but he didn't expect to meet someone as unusual as Gawain.

He can communicate, understand what he said, and is open-minded enough to accept his various statements. He is neither as ignorant and ignorant as the modern locals, nor like the ancients who only know how to do research.

Thinking about it now, I secretly wanted to run away a few days ago, but was bumped into by someone... It's really a good thing, otherwise I keep pretending that I don't know how long it will take me to go out for a walk like today. .

But Nicholas Egg was very happy in the camp, but someone ran to Gawain to complain, Hetty stood in front of Gawain with a worried face: "That ball has been floating around in the camp,

You really don't care? "

Gao Wen was lowering his head and carefully studying the personnel information: it was the general registration of the 100 technicians from the royal capital who had just arrived here two days ago. Hearing Hetty's words, he raised his head and smiled: "That ball is causing trouble. Is it?"

"I didn't make trouble," Hetty shook his head, "but he was too curious. Basically, as long as he saw someone working, he would float over to watch for a long time. His appearance was so striking that the workers would inevitably Affected."

"Everyone will get used to it sooner or later, it's just a metal ball that floats around, not a giant dragon," Gao Wen chuckled, "Of course, I will remind him back and let him try not to interfere with other people's work. By the way, say Come back, what do you think of Nicholas Egg?"

Heidi's face became strange: "Are you really sure you gave him this strange name?"

Gao Wen spread out his hands helplessly: "No way, he just recognizes this."

Heidi sighed: "In terms of ideas... Actually, I have always wanted to study how he floated up. The energy reaction he exudes is very strange, not like the magic power I am familiar with, and he can float in the air forever. If this is an innate spell..."

"Stop, stop," Gawain hurriedly interrupted Hetty's divergent thinking, "If you just want to study, you should be more restrained, that guy was arrested by the magisters of the Gondor Empire a thousand years ago to study It's been a long time, and now the psychological shadow is particularly serious, you will make the trust he finally built up in us vanish."

"Of course, I'm just thinking about it now," Hetty smiled apologetically, "Compared to this, I'm more concerned about what you mentioned at this time. There are still hidden treasures hidden in the ruins in the mountains that were not able to survive a thousand years ago. About the removed samples. I heard that you asked Knight Philip to organize an expedition team? Are you going to look for those dangerous things in the ruins now?"

"Of course not," Gawain shook his head, "you said it all, it's a dangerous thing, and it's not something we can touch now. The main reason I asked Philip Knight to organize a team was to explore the shallow layers of the ruins, and to check when we entered the ruins before. Those forks that haven't been explored. You know, it's a huge and solid fortress... Don't you think it's a waste to put it in the mountains and not use it?"

Heidi opened his eyes slightly: "You want to..."

"Make use of it a little, at least make use of the rooms between the entrance hall and the shallow corridor. After all, this is a dark mountain range, and danger will always arise. If there is an emergency, everyone can at least take refuge in that fortress. --Is not it?"

After saying this, he lowered his head and refocused on the roster of the hundred people.

"There are 15 formal craftsmen, including masons, carpenters, blacksmiths, cobblers, etc., and 10 craftsmen who are good at building houses. There are only two formal casters, one of them is a second-level arcanist, and the other is a fourth-level arcanist. A level rune master," Gawain couldn't help laughing while watching, "Jenny Perrault, a fourth-level rune master, the highest-ranking professional in the team. This is the generosity of the king, and there is actually another one. Intermediate spellcasters..."

Heidi listened to Gawain's words, but couldn't help frowning, because she was actually dissatisfied with the "middle-level spellcaster": the fourth-level rune master was the highest middle-level person in a hundred-person team. According to the division method of "three-level and one-level", she already belongs to the middle-level, and a middle-level spellcaster is indeed considered a high-end talent. After all, in addition to Gao Wen, the most powerful occupation in the territory is the third-level occupation, but the rune master is actually a high-end talent. It can't be counted like this - although they are also called "Mage", they are actually "workers" in the Mage. In comparison, their biggest specialty is that their hands are relatively stable...

How do rune masters advance? That is, everyone gets together to draw runes and magic circles, and it is enough to draw as many as possible within the specified time, and as for the ability to cast spells...

Rune masters only have the most basic magic skills, and it is enough to be able to sense magic power and identify different elements. Usually, their mage level is around the second level.

In the eyes of ordinary people who cannot master the magic power, the rune master who can draw the magic circle is also a mysterious and powerful "Master Mage", but in the eyes of the real mage, the rune master is a "inferior product" that is lower than them, or even several levels lower. , whose status is only a little higher than the "Rune Artisan" who cannot cast spells at all. Rune masters can usually only work with formal mages, act as vassals, and work with rune craftsmen to help them make magic tools or draw magic circles. Because they do not have too high magical skills themselves, rune masters can't even use them to make them out. The magic circles and props - their weak magic power and inferior magic control skills are completely insufficient to control those complex magic circles.

Therefore, it is a profession of making wedding dresses for others.

Hetty does not have the lofty mentality of most mages, and she does not discriminate against the rune masters who are regarded as "magic servants" by mainstream mages, but she can see at a glance that the rune master called "Jenny Perot" is actually The middle-level spellcaster in name, who was stuffed into the capital to make up the number, with such a person in the team, Francis II is equivalent to doing his due diligence, and he can even be a good talk when it is spread out.

This is what makes Heidi the most dissatisfied, and there are only two spellcasters in this team. There is a serious lack of sincerity in the team.

Hetty is not a person who can hide her expressions, especially when she is in front of Gawain, so the latter can see her dissatisfaction at a glance: "What? Do you think a fourth-level rune master is insulting our IQ?"

"The king has no sincerity," Heidi said bluntly. "A rune master, Rebecca, may be better than her if she trains her hands well. It's just a matter of putting it in to make up the number."

"This shouldn't be what Francis II meant," Gawain waved his hand, "that king must take my attitude into consideration, so his support for Cecil's pioneering land will not have much water, but he must bear the burden of other nobles in the capital. pressure, and those nobles do not necessarily hope that the Cecil family can rise quickly. In fact, most of them are afraid that our former southern ruling family can die silently in the Dark Mountains. In this case, you think they Will a capable and valuable technical team be allowed to come here?"

Heidi's face became very ugly: "Those narrow-minded and greedy nobles in the royal capital... The Cecil family has no idea of ​​competing with them for any interests at all, but they spend so much effort to destroy it."

Gawain shook his head: "This is exactly the nobility's code of conduct. You can't accept it. It only shows that you are not actually a qualified noble-according to their standards. Of course, I am not qualified either."

"Then what do you think about this list..."

"Of course it's a joke, why not?" Gao Wen laughed, "It's still a hundred technical talents, even if they randomly put together a number, it's better than nothing. These blacksmiths and carpenters will never even have hammers. Can't use a saw? And I want to meet this runemaster named Jenny Perrault, and there's a sentence in her profile that interests me a lot."

"Which one?"

"Jenny Perrault, Mage Class - Apprentice."
