Sword of Daybreaker
Chapter 39: Dark mountains
Of course, although I complained hard, Gao Wen knew that there is no way for the world to develop into such a way.
The development of civilization has its own rules, but it is also full of uncertainty. Sometimes an explosive technological innovation is enough to make the whole civilization rise to a higher level, but in more cases, especially in the feudal monarchy, it has an overwhelming advantage. In the case of the development of civilization, the development of civilization will be rigid and stagnant for hundreds of years.
In a world where there is supernatural power, class solidification is so serious, and a great destruction has taken place, the situation will only get worse.
The existence of extraordinary power has given the world a lot of conveniences beyond the times, but at the same time, extraordinary power has also shackled the development of civilization in this world. It allows those who are in the upper class to easily live an extremely comfortable and comfortable life, and form an absolute dominance over the vast majority of "mortals" who have no power, and because of the scarcity and uncertainty of the "magic talent" itself. Sexuality, and this kind of power is hard to become a driving force for social development - because it can not give gain to the masses of the world, the few lucky ones who occasionally awaken the magic talent will only become the new aristocratic class, they do not Yes, it is also powerless to change the fate of most people.
Extraordinary power does not belong to "mortal" - this is a rule that is taken for granted.
It is for this reason that the progress of society has become extremely slow. On the one hand, the ordinary people who are the main body of the population have no power to change any status quo. On the other hand, the upper class who enjoys the superiority of power and convenience does not think that the society has progressed. - In fact, even the civilians do not believe that society has the need to make progress. They just have to pray that they will one day be able to awaken their magical talents.
Who would have thought of inventing refrigerators and air conditioners in a world where Frostbolt exists?
However, Frostbolt is always a Frostbolt. It has no way for everyone to eat sorbet in the summer, and there is no way for medical scientists to save serum and vaccine anytime, anywhere.
At least in this era, this is the case.
This is definitely not true. Gao Wen is quite clear about this. Extraordinary power should not be the resistance of civilization. It should not be trapped in the Middle Ages forever. The so-called magic is only a kind of energy utilization. Its flexible and convenient characteristics. It should have been a driving force for rapid development, not a shackle - but it is not something that can be solved now.
He explained to Herti and Rebecca in more detail the need to count the information and some things to be aware of when making the form. Of course, since they have never counted these things, those who lack education are likely to be unable to tell their names and ages at all. He relaxed the requirements for the form and only let them count the information of the craftsmen. Other civilians only register their names first.
Everything is perfected after the new territory is built.
No such people have ever done this kind of statistics on civilians, because for the aristocratic class of the world, civilians have little value – even the cannon fodder on the battlefield is not enough. The only role of civilians is to produce food and to be a free labor force. No one realizes the importance of “people”, and naturally no one will recognize the need to register demographic data.
The good news is that Rebecca, who is confused in other things, only knows this in a simple way. She quickly understood the meaning of Gao Wen and happily took people to organize the information.
Reminiscent of her previous decree that allowed serfs to become free people through service, it seems that this "incompetent" lord is not really nothing.
This child, if you are educated, may be able to deceive people (not).
Fortunately, the number of people who need statistics is less than 900. After the settle in Tanzan Town, the Philip Knight has made a simple record of the survivors. Rebecca quickly compiled Gao Wen with the help of Herti. Required information.
After getting the information, Gao Wen decided to divide the team into two groups and go to the "new home."
One is the advance team, led by him and Rebecca and Herti. The team includes half of the soldiers and militia led by the Byron Knights, as well as the necessary craftsmen and one hundred laborers. The advance team will establish a temporary camp at the destination. , to identify the source of water, etc., and to prevent the surrounding beasts.
Most of the civilians will then follow up with the **** of Philip Knight.
It is unwise to directly carry more than 800 people into a barren land. Although these 800 people are basically not old and weak (they have not escaped), the civilians who lack combat power are still behind the advance team. More secure.
To open up a barren land, no matter how much preparation is not enough, but always take the first step in everything. After doing the most careful planning and deployment, Gao Wen and his advance team finally left Tan. Sangzhen, heading for the dark mountains in the southeast.
They marched along the tributaries of the White River and on the relatively flat riverbank. The knights and the lords led the way in front of the team, and the soldiers guarded the sides of the team. The craftsmen with craftsmanship and various materials and tools were protected in the team. Central.
Heti rode on the horse and looked back at the team that was not too large. Suddenly, he said: "We seem to be a pioneer..."
"We are the pioneers." Gao Wen looked at her and said with a smile.
Herti blinked: "I want to talk about the big development seven hundred years ago..."
Gao Wen shrugged: "Isn't that still me?"
Hetty: "...is right."
“Get some confidence,” Gao Wen looked at the lady who seemed to be worried about the future. “Every time I step into the unknown, it’s a great journey, no matter the second development seven hundred years ago. It’s the first time in the ancient legend, or what we’re doing now, it’s essentially the same. We’re not just building a new home – maybe we’ll build a new era.”
Heti looked at Gao Wen a little, and then nodded. She doesn't understand too much about what the other party's "new era" means, but since the ancestors of the legendary hero say so, it must be a great and glorious thing.
The amber accompanying the side slaps the slap, and the thief Miss thinks it is simple. Anyway, Gao Wen is the boss. The boss said that everything is right. It doesn't matter if you understand it or not. ...
The closer to the dark mountains, the more desolate the scenery, and the power of human civilization shows signs of a gradual decline in this southern land.
When the pioneering craze of the year had not yet declined, the descendants of the first generation of pioneering knights used swords and flames to lay down small settlements on this wild land, and planned to turn to wasteland. Re-expanding the territory, but with the resurgence of the magic wave, the dark and primitive forces of the civilization boundary eroded again and again, the constantly growing monsters and the increasingly deteriorating natural environment make these settlements difficult to maintain, and then the foggy month broke out, the South The forces ushered in the reshuffle, and the last few pioneering villages that were barely maintained on this land were destroyed.
To this day, the barbaric forces of counterattack have swallowed up all the traces of civilization that year, and between the ruined settlements and the pristine mountains, only the beasts and monsters remain.
Although the magic has now re- calmed, the dark magic tide has been tied to the wasteland, but humans seem to have been satisfied with the current civilized territory, coupled with the decline of the Cecil family in the South, and today, the Kingdom of Ansu There is no plan to redevelop this land.
The team of horses and horses was silent on the rugged road. Although Gao Wen’s encouragement to Herti was very effective, the rest of the team was still uneasy. No one knew that the march to the wilderness would be What results, even if they lead them, are the great pioneers of the seven hundred years ago—especially for the craftsmen who are found in civilians and serfs, rather than the sense of glory driving them, it’s better to say The habitual obedience to the lord and the numbness of life are driving them to take the initiative.
In this way, they walked along the riverbank all the way, and stopped the team next to an open field three days later.
This open area is already close to the dark mountains. In fact, it is sandwiched between rivers and mountains. It is a narrow and small plain. The tributaries of the Baishui River are slightly relaxed here, the river flow slows down, and flows gently through the dark mountains. On the north side, it has been injected eastward into the territory of the Tifeng Empire.
Facing the south, looking up, it is the magnificent and daunting dark mountains.
Gao Wen boarded a large rock next to the river bank, looking at the surrounding scenery, and comparing it with the satellite's top view in his mind. He saw forest growth on the west side of the plain, where most of the hard woods and giant wood were wood. It can be used as a valuable source of wood in the early days of the territory, and the mountains on the east side are more prominent. If the memory from Gavin Cecil is correct, there should be iron ore.
In addition to iron ore, there are several other mineral deposits nearby - the Dark Mountain is a treasure.
Although the pioneering team led by Gao Wen Cecil and Charles I did not stay in the dark mountains, they did basic investigations and explorations along the way, and those mineral resources found on the road to development that were not used up, Gao Wen I know everything.
Since the Ansu royal family has given up on this, he is happy to smile.
After observing the terrain, Gao Wen jumped off the stone and looked at Hetty: "You are camping here, and the camps are all supported, so that the soldiers guard the lumberjacks to go to the woods to get the wood - but not too Go deep into the forest to prevent being attacked by beasts. Don't worry about the monsters, the dark mountains are not as terrible as you think, the effects of the dark magic tide have long since faded away, and you want to encounter monsters unless you drill near the magic focus. In addition, the rest of the labor force stayed here to help build the camp. Rebecca, Byron, Amber, the three of you come with me."
Heti snorted: "The ancestor, you are going to..."
"Go get my legacy back."
