Chapter 60 Rebecca's Great Project

Heidi didn't know what her ancestor from seven hundred years ago was thinking at this time, and she was destined to be unable to understand those plans that were too far away and grand for her, but following Gawain's line of sight, In the distant camp full of vitality and vitality, she also seemed to be infected and became excited.

A land that started from scratch, a new order, and a promising future—Hetty thought she had passed the girlhood of being easily touched by foreign objects, but at this moment, she still couldn't help but look forward to it, Looking forward to some better changes in the land.

This is the biggest difference between her and those traditional aristocrats-traditional aristocrats do not expect changes.

"What I told you today, just keep it in your heart for the time being," Gawain suddenly turned around and reminded Hetty, "These things are too advanced, tell the people that they don't understand, but tell them to Nobles...if they don't understand, then they will treat you as a lunatic, if they understand, then they will treat you as a mortal enemy."

Hetty was slightly startled, but with her intelligence, she quickly understood what Gawain meant.

Those new orders—although only a little clue can be seen now, they are enough to touch the sensitive nerves of the nobles. It may really bring prosperity to this land, but that prosperity is not necessarily traditional. popular with nobles.

After all, they are not the same as the Cecil family, and their life is still extremely nourishing.

"I understand, but can I talk to Rebecca?" Heidi nodded, but just pursed her lips and shook her head slightly, "I'm afraid that child can't understand these complicated..."

"No, you underestimated her," Gawain laughed. "Actually, Rebecca is probably smarter than you think, but her intelligence has never been able to find a suitable stage. I think she has recently..."

Before Gawain finished speaking, a small figure suddenly appeared in his sight: Betty ran over quickly along the ridge. The little maid with a few cute freckles on her face came to him, took a few breaths, and then bowed awkwardly: "Master! Miss Rebecca is looking for you!"

"What is she looking for from me..." Gao Wen stopped halfway through, "Oh, you must have forgotten."

"I didn't forget it this time!" Betty stood up straight and said crisply, "She said she was going to start work, let you go over and take a look at her results!"

Hetty came up from behind: "What's working?"

Betty thought for a while and shook her head: "Forget it!"

Gawain & Hetty: "..."

"Yes, I know what it is," Gawain rubbed the head of the little girl in front of him, dumbfounded, "It seems that she has studied the magic circle for several days, and finally got the 'magic net', but I thought that She has to toss for a longer time - how about it, Hetty, do you want to take a look? There won't be anything important here anyway, why don't you go and see Rebecca's first 'engineering project' How is it done?"

"To be honest, I'm really worried about what she'll be like. After all, a crappy mage who can only use fireballs has to make such a large-scale magic circle... Although it's all primary runes," Heidi smiled. Shaking his head, he then looked in the direction of the wooden shed, "Then Knight Philip, my ancestors and I will take a look at the situation of the blacksmith shop, and I will leave it to you first."

The young knight immediately stood upright and tapped his breastplate with his hand: "Definitely fulfilling the mission!"

A small supervision of land reclamation made him shout out an epic slogan... Gawain couldn't help but sighed, how could there be such an old-fashioned and old-fashioned character among the young knights, who even strictly abides by the rules and regulations like the classical knights... Could it be? Is this really the power of faith?

Gawain and Hetty left, and Betty looked around to see that she had nothing to do with herself, and then slipped into the wooden shed. At this time, it was still early for the cooking time, and the laundry work had also been completed. The little maid who had nothing to do for a while became interested in the papers with many words and pictures left on the wooden table.

Seeing the little girl's actions, Knight Philip watched her actions carefully, in case this stupid little girl messed up those important things - he was ready to stop at any time.

Betty, on the other hand, looked curiously at the drawing with the waterwheel on it, but her interest soon shifted to the timekeeping form with numbers and names on it. She leaned closer to the table and pointed at the pen and paper: "Can I write? "

Knight Philip took the pen and paper away and looked at the little girl very seriously: "Can you write?"

"Can't write," Betty shook her head, then added, "Can't read!"

"Then don't touch it," Philip said slightly sternly. "The paper, pen and ink were bought by the lord with money, not for you to play with."

Betty was stunned for a moment, and nodded in frustration: "Oh..."

Knight Philip frowned at the frustrated look of the little maid. He felt that he might be too strict, but it was his duty to protect the lord's property-especially when everything in the territory was in short supply, even a piece of paper When a pen has to be transported from Tanzania, it is even more impossible for a little girl to waste those precious writing tools.

In the end, he comforted Betty a little, but the little girl left here with frustration and regret.

Looking at Betty's back walking on the ridge, Philip couldn't help but remember the conversation between Duke Gawain and Mrs. Hetty that he had just overheard.

Make them literate.

Make everyone literate.

Is it really possible? Is it really possible to do this? Will it really do that?

But if it really did, then the little maid would be able to write.

When he came to the "Blacksmith's Shop", Gawain found that it had become a construction site. There were many busy "workers" in the large open yard, and several soldiers were guarding the various materials stacked in the corner of the yard. Rebecca He was standing in the middle of the yard, holding a large stack of paper in his hand and gesturingly introducing something to the old blacksmith Hammer, while a few of Hammer's apprentices stood by the side honestly and listened.

It seemed like that, and it was obvious that Rebecca called Gawain after the project had been successfully started.

"Ah! Lord Ancestor!" Rebecca saw Gawain, who was almost two meters tall, from a distance, and then saw Hetty who was following Gawain, "And Aunt Hetty..."

The little girl's awe for Hetty was quite serious.

"I'll come to see your progress," Heidi smiled faintly. Although she didn't know how well Rebecca could do it, she also felt that she needed to smile when she saw this orderly and decent scene. Encouragement, "Looks like you're confident."

"Yeah! I've been studying for several days!" Rebecca said with her arms crossed, although she was a little immortal because of staying up late, she was still full of energy, "This magic circle is really good! Those formulas It's also... Ancestors, let me tell you, those formulas are easy to use, thousands of times easier than those rigid rune arrangements and spell models, and you can apply them in any way, and this magic circle..."

"Stop, stop, we're not here to show you off," Hetty quickly interrupted Rebecca's chatter, she knew that this niece was really good at computing power and theoretical knowledge, but she was afraid that this girl would start chattering It will annoy your ancestors to death, "Just tell me how you plan to complete the magic circle."

As soon as she said this, Rebecca nodded vigorously: "Oh, I'm going to bury it underground..."

"Buried in the ground?!" Heidi was stunned for a moment, "I saw that you dug a lot of trenches, but you actually planned to bury it?!"

When Gawain entered the yard, he also saw those ravines dug by Rebecca's commander on the ground - those curved or straight, or intersecting or parallel lines formed a lot of geometry in this huge yard structure, and formed a rough shape of a magic circle as a whole, and in some places that seem to be nodes, there are also markers such as stakes, and there are some auxiliary white lines drawn around - considering Almost all the people who work here are illiterate and can't read, and these auxiliary lines and coordinate positioning should be done by Rebecca herself.

She first marked the ground, and then told the workers where to dig and how much to dig. This should be her workflow.

After hearing Hetty's words, Gawain turned his attention away from the ravines and glanced at Hetty curiously: "Is there anything wrong with burying the magic circle underground?"

"No...that's not a taboo," Hetty shook his head, "but most of the magic circles are exposed. On the one hand, it will take a lot of effort to bury them underground, and on the other hand, the magicians have to control The magic circle is running or monitoring its condition, and burying the magic circle will obviously cause trouble."

What she said was common sense. Rebecca, as a third-level mage (although she only knew fireball), couldn't possibly not know it, but the girl still did it, which can only explain her jumping head. Losing control once again... Hetty was a little uneasy, for fear that Gawain would blame Rebecca for this, and the confidence that the latter had finally built up might be greatly damaged.

However, this child has been hit a lot since childhood, so he should get over it after a while, right?

While Hetty was thinking wildly, Gawain said: "Let's not say why you buried the magic circle underground - I want to know first, how did you accurately draw it on the ground?"

Rebecca was stunned for a moment, wondering what the question of the ancestors meant.

Gawain actually asked this question with great astonishment.

Rebecca drew a magic array full of various geometric figures with extremely high requirements for precision on a plane with a length and width of 100 meters, which would have caused serious errors when observed with the naked eye on the surface!

For Gawain's home world, this kind of thing is not difficult. There are countless surveying and mapping instruments and mathematical tools that can handle this kind of drawing, and in this world where magic exists, this kind of thing can actually be done - magicians Usually, the mage's eye or the eagle eye technique is used to look down from the sky, and use this simple and rude way to complete the drawing of a large magic circle, but can Rebecca do?

Except for a few wooden stakes and some auxiliary lines, she does not have any advanced tools, the world does not have a perfect mathematical and geometric system to help her, and she does not have any other magic other than fireball.

She doesn't even know the eye of a mage that a second-level mage can master.

So how did she do it?

Gawain repeated his question again: "How did you accurately draw it on the ground?"
