Chapter 119 Darnell's Stories

The journey back to the mountain was also very smooth. The team of elite knights led by Alviria contributed a lot. Although there were not many people, they were all composed of regular knights armed to the teeth.

The defeat of the small-scale rebel army is not enough for them to charge. As long as their brains are not twitching, they will never take the initiative to join them.

In addition, there is an unexpected person in the team - the former head of the Sword of Saint Ether, wandering missionary, master warlock, and champion knight Darnell Hebrew.

It wasn't that Sean invited him, but that he heard that Sean was leaving, and stalked him like a dog's plaster, insisting on going back to the Andes Mountains with him, which caused Sean a great headache.

Although the other party has various dissatisfaction with the Holy See of the Holy Ether, after all, he has not really left the Holy See of the Holy Ether, and the Eternal Night Legion is in a state of great development at the moment, and now the power they have is different. Many things that were once conceived have sprung up like mushrooms after rain come out.

Who knows how strong the acceptance ability of the former head of the Sword of Saint Ether is? Does anyone know if there are any taboo things in it?

Once something touched him and caused him to suffer from an occupational disease, no one in the Eternal Night Legion could stop him, and he would have no place to cry when he held up the holy sword.

But the problem is where is the strength of the other party. Although he has never used force to overwhelm anyone, but when talking to him, there are always some scruples.

Judging from the contact and getting along during this period, Darnell can be regarded as a relatively open-minded person, with a relatively strong ability to accept new things.

It can be seen from the new medical skills that Darnell has shown a strong interest in anatomy in front of Sean intentionally or unintentionally.

Sean would only admit that he had dissected a corpse, let alone brought Darnell to dissect it, unless his brain was flooded.

In the teachings of the Holy See of Saint Ether, it is clearly stipulated that the corpse is not allowed to be destroyed without authorization, and the soul is not allowed to be studied. They think that it is the domain of the gods, and it is the greatest blasphemy against the gods to study it by mortals.

However, along the way, Xiao En still went through the things recently researched by the Eternal Night Army in his mind. Most of them were agricultural technological innovations, and there should be nothing that needs to be kept secret or taboo.

The real good things were not placed in the ancient river of Jacob, but were arranged deep in the mountains, such as iron-making and steel-smelting experiments, black powder configuration and so on.

Sean didn't plan to keep the innovation of agricultural technology secret at all. If it can be spread by Darnell, it will be a good thing with infinite merit.

After all, the improvement of the overall farming technology can create more wealth.

As long as wealth is created, Sean has countless ways to snatch it into his own hands.

If the whole world is in a poor environment, his business talents will be useless.

Many technologies in this area were not plagiarized by Xiao En from another world. Don't underestimate the wisdom of the working people in this world, such as waterwheels, water mills, wind mills... all exist in this world.

Sean even found a detailed diagram of the construction of a water saw wood cutting factory in an ancient book of the Andes Empire, which described in detail how to use water flow skillfully, turn it into kinetic energy, cut large timber, and improve work efficiency. It is a hundred times artificial.

But now, it is rare to hear of such a modern processing plant. Obviously, due to various reasons such as time and war, there has been a gap in knowledge, and some good things have not been handed down.

Not only that, most of the crystallizations of wisdom such as waterwheels and wind mills are only spread and used in a small range, and have not been widely promoted.

This is directly related to the structure of the Byron Alliance itself. Internal differences and hostility make it difficult for them to achieve technical exchanges. There is no strong government to promote it, and only low-level civilians promote it spontaneously. The efficiency is extremely low and it takes an extremely long time. As background, it takes generations at every turn.

What the Eternal Night Legion needs to do is to take these ready-made things, improve them, and then use them on themselves.

In particular, the windmill and wind mill are the main direction of the Eternal Night Legion's attack.

Although the water in the ancient Jacob River channel has shrunk, it is the biggest wind outlet. For two-thirds of the time every year, there are all kinds of wind blowing here.

With such natural conditions, it is natural to make full use of them.

When Sean returned to the Andes Mountains again, the sight of windmills and windmills, like giant soldiers, stood silently on mountain passes, hillsides, valleys... any place suitable for building them.

Although I learned about the construction progress of the Eternal Night Legion from Shanying's message, the things on paper are empty after all, far less shocking than the real thing.

The construction speed of the Eternal Night Legion even surpassed Xiao En's imagination.

The Eternal Night Legion is not even considered a government now, at most it is an independent legion, and many things are typical of the army. The management may not be the best, but in terms of efficiency, it is definitely one-to-one.

Especially when they are still in their newborn stage, they are the most simple, but it is difficult for everyone to work together to make a miracle.

Sean, who was prepared in his heart, was like this, let alone Darnell, who had just arrived, and he never closed his mouth along the way.

"Is this really the Andes Mountain? Isn't it the Asia Minor Plain?" Darnell hadn't known how many times he had asked this question.

The missionary who has traveled all over the continent of Arshan has never seen a more magnificent human building, and he has even visited the ruins of the so-called giants of the ancient century.

It's just that the contrast between the current situation and the cognitive rumors is too great.

In his imagination, the Andes Mountains should be a barren land. Even if those mountain people can't live a bloodthirsty life, they must be impoverished, and it is not impossible to live in caves.

This kind of thinking is not only influenced by the rumors in Man Yu's army, but also influenced by his travel experience for so many years. He has traveled to so many places, and the only one who can live decently and live like a human is Plains of Asia Minor—not counting nobles, no matter how barren the land, these high-ranking people live a relatively luxurious and wealthy life.

In addition, whether it is other territories or the Odin orcs, the living conditions of the low-level people are not flattering. As for the barbarians of the Kentana Icefield, they had a big fight with them in the ice and snow, and almost became After their rations, Darnell declined to comment.

A race that is forced by an extremely harsh environment and dares to eat anything, if it does not have its own unique cultural heritage, it is no different from a beast.

The Andis Mountains should also belong to poor mountains and bad waters. Of course, people like Xiao En are a very rare phenomenon. After all, there are people in any race who have cultivation and knowledge far beyond the normal living environment of this race. It cannot change the overall plight of the Andes people.

Judging from the current situation, his idea was completely wrong.

If it weren't for the endless mountains that surrounded him, he would have thought that he had reached the plains of Asia Minor. Only there had he seen such dense windmills.

"That's right, we'll be reaching the ground soon." Sean said with a reserved smile.

"What are so many windmills and wind mills for? Do you have so many wheat husks to grind?"

Darnell has an exuberant curiosity that doesn't match his age.

"Go any further, and you'll know." Sean said vaguely, and now he has no idea.

After turning over a small mountain ridge, the situation in front of him changed dramatically.

Between the two mountains is an endless field, and countless people are busy on it.

The woman is holding the reins in front, and behind her is a strong mountain ox with four horns and a height of a man.

A strong man is waving a long whip behind him, holding on to the plow hanging on the ox. Wherever he passes, the ground is dug up to a depth of two feet. vividly.

The opened land was dark, filled with fallen leaves that hadn't completely rotted, and there was a unique earthy smell in the air.

Followed by a group of children, driving flocks of chickens and ducks to look for food in the opened land, from time to time there will be a cry of surprise, obviously found a nest such as a hibernating snake or a field mouse.

The former is the best reward in itself. Just clean up their internal organs, chop them into pieces, throw them into a pot and cook them, add a little wild onion and garlic and a pinch of salt, and it will be a pot of excellent snake soup. The taste is fresh and tender. It is a rare opportunity for children in the mountains to eat fresh meat in the late winter and early spring. Even seven or eight-year-old Andean children can cook it.

The latter are difficult to catch unless you have a good hunting dog, but you will get a big bonus if you touch their old lair along the way.

Voles and squirrels in the Andes Mountains are distant relatives, and they both have the habit of storing large amounts of food for the winter. A pair of voles store more than ten pounds of various nuts and seeds in their granaries.

Stir-fried in a pan, it is an excellent snack.

In particular, the Eternal Night Legion has launched a variety of eating methods such as salty stir-fry, five-spice stir-fry, and sand-fried. The taste is more comprehensive. Not only the Andes are willing to eat it, but also foreign caravans are willing to buy in large quantities.

Many children have been eyeing the storehouse of these little things, and this winter has caused them a lot of harm. Many little kids have bulging pockets and become the richest people in their families.

However, this kind of wealth is usually snatched away by adults after a short period of time. It is called safekeeping, and it will be given to them when they grow up.

At this point, no matter which world or race parents have a lot in common.

But these little brats are all going to be educated by the teachers sent by the Eternal Night Army. Although it has only been a year and a half, they have all become monkey spirits. Not only do they not show off when they go home for the first time, but they always look dejected. The better ones even take the initiative to hand over three melons and two dates to their homes.

There is no way to take the harvest of this kind of collective labor right now, but it is also satisfying to share a little snack from it. Children are the most satisfying group of people in the world.

"This this……"

This time, Darnell couldn't make a comparison with the plains of Asia Minor, because the farming situation in front of him had never been seen even in the plains of Asia Minor, not to mention that the people who cultivated were all Andean faces, and their identification marks were relatively high.

"I heard that the four-horned high-backed mountain bulls in the Andes Mountains are notoriously irritable. There is a saying that there are one pig, two bulls and three bears. They are often seen in the arena. How can it be used for farming? Why is it so docile?"

"You are talking about bulls. Cows are relatively docile if they are raised from the moment they opened their eyes. People in the mountains have been raising them in captivity for hundreds of years, but most of them are used for slaughter and food, and those used for farming are all castrated since childhood. Bulls are more docile than cows, and with their nose rings, they are similar to those farm cattle that have been domesticated for many years."

"The method is a good method, but the method is a little cruel!"

Darnell raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything more. No matter how lenient the teachings of the Holy See of Ether are, they are limited to people. This person also refers to the Byrons, whether they are Andis or Odin orcs. None of this, let alone livestock.

"Aren't you plowing too deep? The efficiency is too low. According to this method, how much land can a cow plow in a day? Can it be ten acres? If my memory is correct, in the Asia Minor Plain, a poor horse can plow in a day. More than 20 acres of arable land."

"It's good to have six or seven acres. Livestock should be cared for. Of course, the deeper the plowing, the better. Deep plowing is conducive to water storage and gas storage, and provides a better living environment for crops! Look here, it seems that a large number of horses can be raised here. What's more, mountain cattle are not as precious as horses, as long as they are given enough forage, they can be alive and kicking, just give them a few mouthfuls of fine feed when they are working! There is no better animal to use, only more suitable."

"I took it for granted! I remember that wheat should be planted in winter and harvested in summer. It is not too late to plant now?"

"What you are talking about is winter wheat. The Andes Mountains have a special climate, not to mention the long and cold winter. The spring climate is dry and rainless, so it is not suitable for planting winter wheat. They are now planting spring wheat, which is planted in spring and harvested in summer. It is drought-resistant, wind-resistant, and the plants are short. The ears are big and the growth cycle is short, that is, the taste of the ground flour is not as good as that of winter wheat, but in this year, some of them are good to eat, and there is no need to pay so much attention.”

"That's right, eating enough is the most important thing in life." Darnell nodded in agreement.

"Sure enough, everything is knowledgeable. I didn't expect that there are so many talks in farming. This time, I followed the right way. In just a few weeks, I have gained more than I have gained in a year of traveling in the mainland. , I knew there was something in your stomach, brat, and it really wasn't a mistake."

"Those children are rushing behind the poultry, do they have something to say?"

"Everything recovers in spring, digging the ground and loosening the soil also brings out the eggs, drives the poultry around a few times, pecks the hibernating insects, eggs, and grass seeds, and waits until the spring wheat starts to grow, reducing weeds Weeds and insects, but also save food for poultry, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

"It makes sense, no, it's not reason, but knowledge. I have seen thousands of farmers, but I have never seen such a comprehensive farmer. This must be something you taught them, right?"

Darnell's evaluation of Sean was even higher. He felt that what he was facing was not a teenager, but a grand maester from the Silver Federation Warlock Union.

No, many grand scholars are just boasting about other generations, always talking about things that sound high and complete, but in fact they are useless, that is, to fool those noble lords, the real use is very limited.

And what emerges from Sean, whether it is a new medical technique or this seemingly novel farming technique, is a good thing that benefits the country and the people.

Such a life is buried in the mountains.
