This fantastic restoration scene left the Anfil villagers stunned. Not to mention the children who couldn't move, even the adults forgot about their work and watched from the other side of the long road for a long time.
The halfling escort girl who completed the task was welcomed with the highest standards by her companions in the Happy Hall, who gathered around her and asked about the whole process.
Loren naturally did not mention anything about her humiliation, but exaggeratedly described the entire brief fantasy journey. The envious and respectful eyes of her companions greatly satisfied her vanity. The boring journey on the transportation road suddenly made her feel uncomfortable. It’s worth mentioning that I am looking forward to tomorrow’s delivery work.
If it were just this one thing, it wouldn't cause much repercussions among escort girls. At most, it would be a relatively unique job.
But coupled with Gowther's mother's previous angry rebuke, the nature of the whole thing was completely different, and Gavin had to be re-examined as a young man.
This is the first time they have seen an escort girl hired, not for pleasure, but for other tasks, which sounds like a good idea - even if it is a business travel escort girl, she is still looking for pleasure.
Is this the other way that Gowther's mother said?
If Mr. Gavin could really provide them with a stable job, would they choose that kind of life and give up their current one?
This question has caused a large number of Gowther Mama Joy Hall escort girls to lose sleep.
Gavin's unique acting style, as well as the huge resources and energy he can deploy, make him the focus of attention wherever he goes, causing people there to revolve around him without knowing it.
This time it caused a particularly big impact in Amphail Village. After all, it was only a palm-sized place, and every move was under the sight of others.
That's fine. When everyone focuses on the surface, no one notices what Gavin really wants to do.
As soon as it got dark, Gavin sent all the construction workers to rest, leaving only himself in the hotel.
There is no doubt that he is waiting for the arrival of the weeping witch Filancini.
But until the sun rose the next day, the Weeping Witch was not seen again.
She didn't know whether she didn't want to show up in front of Gavin again, or the exchange last night had consumed her too much strength, and now she couldn't even make a sound.
Gavin believed that the latter was more likely. Avoidance would not solve any problem, only communication would do, whether it was angry or kind.
After waiting for three nights with no response, Gavin decided not to wait any longer.
He didn't have that much time to waste here, so he let the construction team, which was gathering more and more, go all out to clean out all the collapsed parts and find the door to the underground storage room.
In this kind of building, it is inevitable to have a large basement, which is not only a storage room, but also an emergency room and a treasure room.
The treasure that the villagers speculated was the former tavern was there.
It's just that that place often becomes the focus of battles. The surrounding stairs and walls have all been blown down by explosion spells, making cleaning and repair work particularly difficult.
After all, it is not as simple as removing all the bricks and stones, but they need to compare them bit by bit, find the original position, and restore them as much as possible.
Gavin no longer squatted here to watch this complicated work, but returned to Misnoel and went to Darauma - the water-powered spinning workshop jointly built by the two parties began to put into production. He, the instigator , was invited to visit and inspect.
As soon as you enter Darauma, you can clearly feel the difference between the atmosphere here and before the destruction of the root of the gods.
The main tone of the entire city has turned to bright red, and the red knight logo belonging to the lady of strategy can be seen everywhere. A large temple has broken ground. You know without asking that it will be an exclusive temple dedicated to the goddess of strategy. Citizens. They opened their mouths and the one mentioned most often was Ms. Strategy.
The goddess of strategy has become Darauma's main belief, and Zalanda's identity as the goddess's chosen one is an open secret.
This matter has pros and cons.
The advantage is that Zalanda's reputation in Darauma has reached an unprecedented height. After all, she is now governing this place on behalf of a god. Many believers of Ms. Strategy, from all sides, will unconsciously fall in love with her.
They may not necessarily come directly to Darauma to seek refuge. They are also playing a role in other territories. The economic blockade imposed by the Tethyr warlords and nobles on Darauma is no longer as airtight as it was at the beginning, and is slowly beginning to loosen. .
The disadvantage is that the warlords and nobles have become more wary of her. It is no longer a simple economic blockade, but they unconsciously mobilize their troops in the direction of Darauma. When necessary, they will not hesitate to tear up the contract, Darauma must also be destroyed - as for the wrath of Ms. Strategy, there is more than one god in this land.
Especially since Zalanda, as her chosen one, was breaking the contract in disguise, they couldn't just passively be beaten without fighting back.
Gavin is now considered a celebrity in Darauma, and he can be brought directly to Zalanda without any hindrance by swiping his face.
"How's the matter with the Arcanist?" Upon meeting Zalanda, she couldn't help but care about Gavin's advancement.
"We already have an idea, the rest is just grinding time." Gavin said, "How are you preparing for the immigration work?"
Compared to the water-powered spinning mill, Gavin was more concerned about this matter because it was the key to starting the comprehensive construction of the Three Rivers Land.
Without this key, he was guarding a mountain of treasure with no way to dig out it.
It’s not that there are no natural immigrants in the Land of Three Rivers, but the rate is too slow and far from keeping up with Gavin’s pace.
"Preliminary statistics have been completed. The number of conatives far exceeds our original estimate. There are already 13,000 registered people. Even if there are some who change their minds at the last minute, there will be some who join temporarily. When it really starts, the number of people should fluctuate." Zalanda said lightly.
"Thirteen thousand? So many?" Even though Gavin was mentally prepared, he was also shocked by this number.
How many people are there in Darauma? This accounts for one-tenth of the entire city.
"It's normal. Anyone who is not blind can clearly see Darauma's predicament. The speed of urban construction is far behind the speed of citizens gathering. Many people who came later have been squeezed to camp several kilometers away from the city wall. Once If a war breaks out, their safety cannot be guaranteed, especially the war to destroy the Root of Gods, which has impacted many people.
If not for the arrival of the incarnation of Lady Strategy, Darauma would have faced disaster, and those residents outside the city would bear the brunt.
This time we are facing the followers of the evil god. Can Ms. Strategy descend into the avatar? The next time we face the threat of ordinary monsters or a war within humanity, can Ms. Strategy still descend into the avatar? "
Zalanda has a very thorough understanding of the mentality of these Dalauma citizens, "There is another reason that cannot be ignored. More than half of the population of Dalauma migrated from surrounding areas in the past six months. In the process, they have They abandoned many things that could not be taken away. Although they are now called citizens of Dalauma, they have not yet found a sense of belonging in this city.
If they were allowed to migrate on their own, many of them would definitely hesitate, but as an organized and planned large-scale migration, the choice to join is not difficult to make. "
"How are the specific arrangements going?" What Zalanda said is just an external situation. These citizens must have their own calculations and considerations. Gavin is not particularly concerned about this. After all, this is a matter. It is impossible for them to intervene in major events that involve huge matters. They can only formulate general policies and general directions. The specific details and implementation issues are left to the knight officials below to assist in solving operations.
"We have almost collected the food, and the equipment you sent is being worked overtime to transform. In ten days, it will be ready for distribution." Zalanda began to count them one by one with her fingers, "Now there are still There are several big issues that need to be finalized, one is migration routes, and the other is horses, vehicles and other tools, and there are still a lot of gaps."
"You don't need to think about the vehicle problem anymore. I have ordered people to work overtime at Misnoel. At least 500 heavy trucks can be produced before the migration. I have also started to solve the horse problem. , but it is impossible to be in position before the migration, but they can be used as a new force to assist in the last difficult journey. The specific meeting point will have to wait until we decide the route."
Gavin directly pulled out the map of Faerûn he carried with him and said, "There is no need to wait for this matter, let's finalize it today!"
Zalanda did not come forward, but shook her head and said: "With so many people walking such a long way, there are too many variables. This matter cannot be completely settled. We can only make decisions based on the actual situation." , one journey is determined, and when necessary, the city must be attacked. Everything depends on the subjective judgment of the commander leading the army. There is definitely no way to follow the trade routes across Tethyr and Amn. The local rulers We will definitely not allow such a large team to use the road, and most of the time we can only walk on trails or wilderness."
It is completely conceivable how huge a team with tens of thousands of people would be. It has far exceeded many small and medium-sized cities. Even if they were given ten courages, the local rulers would not dare to take advantage of it easily, because if they were not careful, , you will lose your city.
"It makes sense." Gavin nodded involuntarily, "I made this matter simple. When the time comes, we must select a flexible general to lead this team. No, in this matter, I must I have to take action personally, because this is a great opportunity for me to establish my prestige among immigrants and bring closer relations between the two parties."
This will be my own human team. No matter how busy I am, I cannot completely leave it to others to command. I can only choose a few smart and capable lieutenants to assist me, so that I can have free time to deal with other matters. Can.
"That's right." Zalanda nodded and said, "The immigration coach can only be yours. Even I can't do it for you."
"I'm trying to get the job transfer done before the immigration plan starts." Gavin carefully calculated the time. He originally had plenty of time, but because the stall he set up in Anfeier Village was a bit big, he was a little nervous. , there are some things that can be properly speeded up.
"We will discuss the details after the plan is launched." Zalanda said with a smile, "Let's look at the fruits of our labor during this period."
As they spoke, they had reached the purpose of their trip.
A miniature girl wearing a snow-white princess dress, flapping beautiful butterfly wings, came up to her excitedly and said, "Mr. Gavin, we succeeded. We have built the hydraulic spinning mill, and the production efficiency is higher than we originally estimated." It will be 30% higher, and after normal operation, it can be improved by another 30%.”
"I know, this period of time has been very hard. Sister Zalanda has told me everything about you. This factory can be put into production so quickly, and you deserve the most credit. Wait a minute, put down all the work in your hands. , come with me to Misnoel, take a good vacation and recuperate." Gavin did not hesitate to praise him.
Because he now has a deep understanding of the nature of fairies, it is so rare for the Pixie Elf Nico to be able to calm down and work non-stop for more than a month in one place.
The extraordinary level she now possesses is not entirely due to the way of war, but also to the accumulation of her accumulated experience in applying a series of designs.
"No." Nicole shook her head repeatedly, her tiny face full of seriousness, "This place has just been put into operation, and many equipments are not running very smoothly, and I know them best. I want to take a vacation, but I have to wait until those apprentices. After being able to take on big responsibilities..."
Before the Pik Elf girl could finish speaking, a human girl rushed out in a hurry, "Teacher Nicole, Teacher Nicole, there is a machine that is not moving. Go and have a look."
"Look, I haven't been gone for three minutes." Nicole pouted, as if she wanted to show a helpless expression.
However, there was an unconcealable sense of pride and satisfaction in her little eyebrows. The feeling of being needed and irreplaceable was not ordinary. It was obvious that the Pixie girl enjoyed this feeling very much.
"You don't need to worry about me, business is important. I'm mainly here to understand the production. I won't be able to stay long before I have to leave." Gavin said to Nicole with a smile.
"Then I won't take you on a tour." After saying this, the Pik Elf girl couldn't wait to take the human girl to the factory. As she walked, she asked the reason, and she also criticized and educated her from time to time.
The human girl, who was seven or eight times smaller than her, was respectful and looked like she was being taught.
Nicole explained with practical actions what it means to be 16 centimeters tall and 18 meters aura.
Zalanda explained on the side: "Miss Nicole's role here cannot be replaced in a short period of time. She is not only responsible for maintaining the equipment, but also further improving and debugging it. It is said that she is studying a worsted spinning machine. By then, the output Not only is it taller, but the yarn produced is not only thinner, but also stronger.”
"This is the only help I can provide. It depends on her to what extent she can help her." Gavin spread his hands helplessly.
As the saying goes, there are specialties in the art industry, but I am really not good at this area.
Providing some relatively simple ideas and future directions is the limit of what he can do. The rest is left to professionals like Nicole who are capable and thoughtful in this area.
Zalanda nodded in deep agreement and said, "Me too, the only thing I can do now is to provide her with what she needs."
As soon as I stepped into the huge factory building, the rhythmic sound of mechanical impact echoed in my ears. The clicking sound was very rhythmic.
The entire factory is in the shape of a long and narrow strip, because it must rely on water canals as the driving force. A dozen huge wood-iron mixing machines are lined up side by side. Countless workers are surrounding it, busy and busy. Countless fluffy cotton will soon be produced. It turned into strips of white cotton threads and was rolled into sticks of cotton yarn.
If placed on earth, this scale would be at best a small and medium-sized enterprise slightly larger than a private workshop.
But in Faerun, there are definitely few large-scale factories. They have been found across the entire continent, and the number is not too large. Even if there are, 80% of them are magic factories, not factories run by ordinary people.
Before Gavin could speak, Zalanda took the initiative to explain: "This factory is definitely a masterpiece of the times and will have a fatal impact on the entire textile industry. This factory has only 18 machines and more than 100 people. , the cotton yarn produced is enough to support the original work of 20,000 people, working day and night.
Because it not only realizes mechanized textiles, but also replaces most of the manpower with water-driven machinery for cleaning debris, removing seeds, and elasticizing cotton. It is completely achieved, cotton enters the factory, and cotton yarn leaves the factory. "
"Now that the cost has come down, you can appropriately increase the purchase price of cotton. As long as the price goes up, the economic blockade of the warlords and nobles will be broken." Even in the modern era of information technology, if you want to implement an economic blockade, you can't. It's not an easy task, let alone Faerun, who has trouble transmitting information.
As long as the temptation of profit is large enough, there is nothing that businessmen dare not do or cannot do.
"This is already being done. The market price of cotton we are now offering is double that of other regions. This morning, I just sent away a wave of envoys from the Saradas family. They accused us of disrupting the entire cotton market. ." Zalanda sneered and said, "What is a normal market for cotton? Does it have to be carried out according to the price they set? Must all the benefits be squeezed out of the hands of those farmers? I would like to see, in addition to condemning them, What kind of outrageous things can be done with this move?"
Now Zalanda's mentality is a little different from before Gavin returned.
At that time, even with the support of the goddess of strategy behind her, she was still walking on thin ice, and it was difficult to be completely tough in her attitude towards the warlords and nobles.
After all, gods are not omnipotent, especially when it comes to the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people, the assistance they can provide is quite limited.
But now it's different. What Gavin brought not only made up for her shortcomings, but also developed into her strengths, her new weapons.
Aren’t you going to fight an economic war? Then try the impact of new textile technology first.
