On the Seven Towers

Xiao Chen said: "Now that we have achieved all our goals, we should be able to leave here."

Xenovia said: "Please wait a moment and let me take back that terminal. It is a very important part of the Forging Tower."

He Jin asked: "Isn't that just a terminal used to query information in the library?"

"No, you are mistaken." Xenovia said, "Although the two models are the same, this terminal is actually the terminal connected to the new study room. Andrew, the last saint of the Forging Tower, moved it from the tower and gave it to Used by dwarves for learning.”

Xiao Chen asked: "In exchange for the help of the dwarf kingdom, will you agree to teach them the knowledge of forging?"

Xenovia said: "Yes, it's not just about forging knowledge. After Andrew brought the Forging Tower to the dwarf kingdom, he reached an agreement with the dwarves, that is, the dwarves would provide shelter, and he would use the forging tower's technology to Share a little bit with the dwarves, and finally let the dwarves slowly build a batch of factories. "

"Factory? Not just forging technology?" Xiao Chen was a little surprised. At least for now, there is no trace of industry in the entire dwarf kingdom, and it is still in the state of a manual workshop.

The boss of each workshop, usually the head craftsman of the workshop, brings at most a few apprentices. Or a large workshop belonging to a family may be slightly larger, but it is still composed of small workshops. Although the dwarves have many forging workshops in the Valley of Ten Thousand Hammers, the items they provide are also of relatively high quality. However, there is still no large-scale production factory, let alone clear industrial standards and capital operations. The industrial structure formed now is also very rudimentary, with nothing more than three steps: mining, smelting, and forging. It's still far from a real industry.

"The dwarf king Moses at that time was a very far-sighted man. He once visited the territory of the Seven Towers and knew how the best magic factory of the Seven Towers operated. Therefore, he proposed to let the dwarf kingdom follow the seven towers. The idea from which Tower Magic was developed.

Andrew agreed. However, he believed that if the most advanced knowledge was directly taught to the dwarves. Will attract the attention of the Nature Temple. If the Temple of Nature discovers that the Forged Tower is hiding in the Dwarf Kingdom and decides to grab the Forged Tower, the Dwarf Kingdom will face a steady stream of attacks. So he made an agreement with King Moses at the time to gradually impart knowledge on industrial manufacturing batch by batch over many years. Only those who have reached the level of Great Blacksmith can come in to study each time, and the study time is limited to a certain amount, which are the rules set at that time. "

"Then why after so many years, the dwarf kingdom is still like this." Xiao Chen asked.

Xenovia said: "At that time, King Moses believed that it was impossible to build a factory because the craftsmen were in the hands of the nobles, so he found a way to find a group of serfs, slaves and free people's children, and gathered them into the palace to unify them. The craftsmen trained by us were taught, and then a large factory was built outside the Valley of Ten Thousand Hammers, allowing these people to learn the technology and operate it. The situation at that time was really like the merger of several Alchemy Towers into the Forging Tower, and then. What the first tower owner looked like when he was carrying out reforms.

Andrew and the king agreed on a hundred-year plan, intending to slowly promote this model within a hundred years, so that the industrial level of the entire dwarf kingdom would reach 80% of the level of the Forging Tower. "

Xiao Chen said: "I'm afraid that such a move by King Moses will not be welcomed by the nobles in the country? This will directly affect the interests of the nobles. Will many people rise up against him?"

Xenovia said: "Of course some people will be dissatisfied, but don't forget that Andrew is a saint. Although he is not very good at fighting compared to the fighting saints in the Temple of Nature, he is still a powerful saint. No matter how dissatisfied the nobles were, they did not dare to show it in front of him. What's more, King Andrew was not stupid. Of course, he knew that he would encounter resistance, especially from the young people who came from slaves and civilians. In order to show the difference from the past customs, each member of this guard army was called the Quartet Army. Andrew felt that the Kingdom of Moses wanted the Dwarf Kingdom to conquer the Quartet. mean."

Xiao Chen asked: "How long have these days lasted?"

"Five years." Xenovia paused, seeming to recall the scene at that time, but the little man standing on the crystal had no expression on his face. "Five years can already change a lot of things. The first at that time, the second OEM workers have been trained, and the king's factories have begun to produce products with greater output and cheaper costs than the noble workshops. Although the quality is still not comparable to the works of experienced craftsmen, the entire dwarf kingdom is. Sensing the potential of this method, more children studied in the academies founded by King Moses, and some minor nobles even took the initiative to send their children to study with the common people.

They didn't know the existence of the Forging Tower. They only thought that the kingdom had been blessed by the God of Forging in the God's Relics, so they had so much new forging knowledge. I was also lucky enough to find a saint who had 'returned from his study tour' in the human world. "

Other nobles have begun to change their minds and try to manage their workshops in a king-like manner.

Everything seemed fine until the day Andrew died. "

"How did he die?" What Zenovia said was not unexpected to Xiao Chen. If everything went according to plan, after thousands of years, the Dwarf Kingdom would not be what it is now. Perhaps they would have had a new collision with the Human Kingdom and the Temple of Nature on the continent.

"I don't know. Andrew told me about the things that happened before little by little when he came to the ruins world. But when he died, I didn't know what happened. I heard the rest of the story from the blacksmith who came to practice.

He might have died of assassination.

Just half a year before Andrew's death, the Dwarf Kingdom gave birth to a saint of its own, a warrior saint. I always thought that the nobles had been waiting for this day. Andrew has always been obsessed with construction and research, and his combat effectiveness is very average. Even a newly promoted warrior saint should be able to kill him relatively easily.

Of course, no one knows what happened specifically. I only heard that he was killed in his own house. Later, the nobles of the kingdom claimed that Andrew died of illness, but this excuse could not fool anyone. They said this deliberately to warn later generations that if they go against the hierarchy of the dwarves, there is only one way to go, and that is death."
