People are building infrastructure in another world

Chapter 42 Gift of the Day

The undead were almost settled, and the monsters who were short of food were not comfortable living. They sneaked around the undead land and broke into Beichen through the Arctic Ice Field.

Throughout the winter, the Knights and Miguel were very busy, they were guerrillas.

After working so hard to kill the undead in the west, they rushed to the east to kill the monsters. They ran all over the map. They were not tired of fighting.

It's better to build the manor wall quickly. At that time, they only need to fight against the undead and monsters at the city gate without running around.

This winter Aurora often sleeps deeply, sleeping more than ten hours a day, but everyone feels normal.

The countess is delicate and expensive, and she hibernates because she is afraid of the cold in winter. She is right to think so.

Every time the maids passed Aurora's bedroom, they would walk lightly, for fear of disturbing her to rest.

From the moment Aurora rescued Triss, the maids were completely loyal to her.

They are born humble, but they have a master who treats them as human beings. Aurora's back is even more majestic than Miguel in the eyes of the maids.

The maid wished she could slander Aurora, but unfortunately she didn't have the chance to show it.

At the end of winter there is a national holiday, the Christmas of the Gods.This festival is like the Spring Festival, a festival for the whole family to get together.

Because it reads so much like Christmas, Aurora simply treats the holiday like Christmas.

She has a sense of ritual, calling for a small pine tree to be placed indoors, decorating it with various small toys, and wrapping a bunch of presents in parchment in advance and stacking them under the pine tree.

Lisa woke up early in the morning and saw more pine trees in the hall, and ran over excitedly, looking curiously.She asked Aurora, who was drinking almond milk from a teacup, what it was.

Aurora: "It's a gift tree."

Lisa opened her ignorant eyes, "Is it the tree that gave gifts?"

"Yes, but there is a story in it." Aurora said nonsense seriously, "As long as there is a gift tree at home, on the night before God's Christmas, a god in red clothes and red trousers rides a flying tree. The elk, coming down from the chimney, went to the well-behaved child's house, and secretly put her favorite present under the gift tree as a reward for being well-behaved all year."

Lisa giggled: "You lie."

"I didn't lie to you, there is this story, otherwise how could the gift appear under the gift tree." Aurora pointed to the parchment gift box under the gift tree, "I seem to see your name on it."

Lisa's smile froze, and her eyes widened in surprise. She ran to search for gifts under the pine tree.

Then actually find a gift with her name on it.

The package was so tight that Lisa sat directly on the carpet to unwrap the present.

Then Lisa got her first baby bear doll. The doll was sewn with fur and dyed brown with vegetable dyes.

Lisa hugged excitedly, her face flushed, "What's the name of that red-clothed god? I want to pray, thank him."

"Santa Claus." Aurora was still making it up, but Lisa believed it, and Man Kelu next to her obviously didn't believe it, and rubbed Lisa's hair helplessly and lovingly.

"Mankelu, you have it too, why don't you take a look?" There are only two lovely girls in the castle. Although Aurora will favor Lisa over one another, she can't have Lisa, and Mankelu has nothing.

Man Kelu looked at the pile of presents at a loss, "I...do I have it too?"

"of course."

Man Kelu's gift was a hat decorated with fake flowers and ribbons. Man Kelu didn't know what it was. Lisa taught her how to use it, put it on her head, and tied it up.

Man Kelu didn't need to look to know that she was the most eye-catching cub in the audience, she touched the brim of her hat happily.

Mrs. Taylor saw Man Kelu wearing a hat, and praised: "Oh, where is this little lady, so beautiful."

Man Kelu blushed.

Lily also praised the beautiful hat.

Lisa chirped to give her a science introduction, "I have two, with fluffy fur on them. My sister-in-law said that I can wrap them with beautiful feathers, which will be more beautiful."

Exaggeration and luxury are the aesthetics of the imperial capital, and Mankelu inevitably has this influence. When Lisa mentioned that she wrapped beautiful feathers on her hat, her face was full of excitement. If gems are not available, are you worried that you can’t find feathers?
In fact, Man Kelu's aesthetics has changed a lot. The reason is Aurora. Aurora is always simple, but she has a mysterious and noble temperament. Man Kelu is deeply fascinated by this, and feels that she is more noble than the emperor Pretty and glamorous.

There are gifts from Lisa and Manklo, and of course Mrs. Taylor.

"Sister-in-law, you really lied to me. You said that only good children and Santa Claus will give gifts." Lisa was extremely wronged.

"You have a gift from Santa Claus, and I'll give it to Aunt Ruolan, can't you, cheapskate." Aurora made a face, and Lisa made a face in return, puffing up her cheeks and saying, "I...I want Find brother, let him...let him spank your ass."

Miguel who just entered the hall: "..." He doesn't have that kind of hobbies.

Lily couldn't put it into words, and felt that her teaching had a long way to go. She had never heard the word "ass" from the ladies of the imperial capital.

But the atmosphere was too happy, the whole family got together warmly, talking and laughing, without the indifference and solemnity of the palace.

Lily didn't care anymore, she was going to take Man Kelu home today to spend the holidays with her husband.

After returning home, James told Lily about being a teacher after the winter. He was very happy and entered the Knights. He had expected that he would be rejected.

He was not young, and after seeing how the knights in the Beichen Territory ran in winter, he knew that he could not bear their fighting intensity.

In the face of ferocious monsters and terrifying undead, not only must a quick battle, but also must win. The whole knight group fights like sharp arrows, and the ferocity presented is not at all compared with the soft swords of the knights of the imperial capital.

No wonder His Majesty attaches so much importance to Beichen, it is a humanoid barrier that prevents the undead Winter from entering the hinterland of the empire.

The knights in the Beichen territory are the most elite soldiers in the empire, unremarkable but powerful.

Lily was happy for James to get this good news on God's Christmas. The important thing was that James didn't have to wander outside, it was too dangerous after all.

After a supper celebrating the Christmas of the Gods,
After returning to the room, Miguel received his gift, a magic repeater with a range of about 150 meters. Because the quiver is made of alloy, it is not light, but it is just right for Miguel.

Aurora asked Mosier to engrave a magic circle on the arrow, and she enchanted it, adding fluorescent balls and star magic. The star magic is a real light magic, like a prairie fire, continuously emitting bright light.The fluorescent ball is the introduction, disperse the dark energy, and the Qixingzi magic can completely destroy the dead soul fire.

The arrow only needs to be powered by a small diamond-like magic beast core.

The moment Miguel got it, he couldn't wait to try it, and shot at the wall, and the crossbow bolts nailed into the stone of the wall.

Miguel looked back at Aurora with sparkling eyes.

If there is a tail, his tail can reach the ceiling at this moment, shaking out afterimages.

"Can it be mass-produced?"

Aurora put her arms around his neck, dispelling his unrealistic thoughts, "There are only fifty arrows, and they cannot be mass-produced. The old gentleman in Mosier thought it would take too much time for him, so he was willing to do it only if he gave it to the Hardware Department. Later, it took me another fifteen days to complete the enchantment."

It was expensive and useless, but Aurora gave him the blueprint, "This kind of enchantment can't be done, you can make the normal version, it should be suitable for playing Warcraft."

No matter how thick the beast is, it is not as hard as a rock. It can also open the distance for weak point attacks, and it can be shot by raising the hand and pulling the trigger without pulling the bow.

With the Liannu, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort against monsters.

This is the most thoughtful gift Miguel has ever received, and it is also his favorite gift.

No man can refuse a powerful cold weapon.

Miguel put down the magic crossbow, couldn't help holding Aurora's face and kissing it, the kiss was too passionate and bewildered.

In the end, Miguel stopped by himself, gasping for breath. He had promised Aurora to be together again, and there was only one year left.

His lustful eyes gradually returned to indifference, and he buttoned the ripped collar back one by one.

Aurora simply admired Miguel's self-control ability. She licked the corners of her mouth. Her boyfriend was abstinent, so she wanted to flirt even more, but her body was indeed small.

Forget it, in her previous life she was only in charge of teasing, and because she cared about heart health, she never helped put out fires.

The one in front of me must be dealt with aftermath, it is better to eat it later to be safe.

Winter was about to pass in the blink of an eye, and when the sky cleared, the two maids who said they didn't want to continue cleaning were sent to inform Linong that they could hand in their straw hats.

They are responsible for the quality inspection of the hats, and write down how many hats a household has received, and Susan will count the copper or silver companies to deliver.

Li Nong, who got the money, tightly held his purse, and turned to ask the guard if he could ask him to buy some salt or cloth.

In front of the castle gate, it was extremely lively for a while.

Alu reported to Aurora about the thoughts of Li Nong, and Aurora also felt that it was very inconvenient to buy daily necessities in the territory. There were no free people and no trade.

If not, build one yourself.

Aurora told Alu to send someone to do it. You can ask Toby first. The daily necessities that must be purchased are at normal wholesale prices. Some merchants sell ordinary people and sell nobles at two prices.

Aurora is determined not to be taken advantage of.

Alu takes orders, of course, this matter does not need Alu to do it himself, he just needs to settle the matter and then order the errands to do it.

In early spring, the holy white sap can be collected again, and the ground dragons have also been trained very well. The amount that can be sold this year is frighteningly large, and it will increase next year.

Feeds require variety to feed.

The tortoise grows up healthy and healthy, and is already cocooning. It will soon fly out to mate and lay eggs, and enter a new cycle.

Everyone in Beichen Territory is busy.

The straw hat needs to be processed again after it is taken back, and the first studio in Beichen's territory has been completed.

In fact, two other houses were built next to the church.

The two assigned maids are in charge, responsible for recruiting workers and processing hats, and they must rush to produce a large number of finished hats before Aurora leaves for the imperial capital.

Dixinglong was transported away in batches first, and Dixinglong was too well-behaved.

Aurora raised Di Xinglong's price directly to 18 gold divisions without any psychological burden.

Miguel told the traveling knights to buy and sell if anyone wanted to along the way, and to come back after unloading. The holy white tree syrup in the imperial capital was almost used up, and they had to come back to transport it before the bakery ran out of syrup.

In the spring, Aurora and Miguel were working together, and Aurora had no time to take care of the new tasks assigned by the system.

The warm spring and snow melt usually cause the fields to be flooded. This year, the ditches will be opened.

All accumulated water collects in ditches and flows into rivers or newly dug lakes.

The big lake was dug deep and stocked fish fry, which can be used as a storage tank in the future, taking care of fish farming. If you want to eat fish, you don't have to go fishing in the downstream river anymore. If you cast a net into the lake, many fish will be caught.

As the territory was booming, Ogri arrived with his team.

In order to earn these tens of thousands of gold, Ogri brought a lot of people.

Aurora has stipulated the construction period, and if there is a delay of one day, the money will be deducted. There is plenty of time, and I am afraid that there will be accidents in the middle.

In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, Ogri naturally couldn't have a little manpower problem that would hinder the progress of the project.

Aurora looked at Ogri's construction team with a calculated smile.

She and Ogri discuss one more matter.

The castle is not going to be opened to the public, and there is not enough space for his construction team to live temporarily, so she wants the temporary residence to be settled by the construction team. She can pay him and set aside a piece of land near Warm Stone as a homestead for him, and let them first Build a few houses, the house can be repaired as much as possible, and when they are gone, she can use it for other purposes.

Ogri, who has always been decisive, hesitated, "I don't doubt that you deliberately delayed the construction period, but we will not stay here for more than three years. It doesn't have to be a good place to live. It's okay to stay like a resident."

Aurora twirled the ring on her finger, "Don't worry, Mr. Ogri, I won't use any excuses to cause you financial losses. Of course, you don't have to trust me. It's right to be cautious when doing business, just treat it like this." I entrusted you to build the first house, how about it?"

"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you." Ogri was afraid that when the project was about to start, Party A would haggle over every detail and make things difficult for them.

Aurora nodded in satisfaction.

When Ogri came over, he finally saw the utility of the ditches.He praised Aurora's ingenuity. From now on, farmers don't need to dig wells or go to rivers to fetch water, but just scoop water from ditches to water crops.

He mentioned crops, and the topic naturally turned to methods of fertile land.

Aurora crossed her ten legs, propped her chin, and said slowly: "Sir, you are refreshing, and I am not ambiguous. You said before that you want the formula for the fat land, and I want five thousand gold."

Ogri's face turned blue instantly, "Five Thousand Golds, my son is just a knight, and he doesn't have as much land as you, Countess."

Aurora smiled, "Mr. Ogri, don't be angry. After getting the formula, sir, do you want to keep it a secret?"

The thoughts in his heart were seen through, and Ogri touched his nose with a guilty conscience.

"It can't be kept secret." Aurora knocked on the table, allowing Ogri to focus on her fingers, "How do you think other nobles will react when you get such a formula? Not to mention the nobles, His Majesty is on official business There is no reason in the world, they will try every means to force you to hand over things that are beneficial to the country and the people. What you should think about is how to avoid risks, transfer risks, and try to let others make up for your money losses."
