Chapter 40: Secrets

"Adult ......"

Ral followed Phil from behind with a complicated expression.

"Huh, you're from Jimenez too?"

"Yes......"

"Why haven't I seen you?"

"I've been guarding the city, and I haven't been back since you joined the clan. ”

"That's right. ”

"I have heard of your heroic deeds and have taken you as my example. ”

"It's been awarded, and it's not heroic deeds. ”

Phil shook his head and said.

"No, you're a hero to everyone in Brell Town. ”

Lal said solemnly.

Phil smiled, noncommittal.

"I have a request...... Mr. Phil. ”

"What request?"

"My wife...... She is also from our family, she is a maid, I know that the family will not take her away, I want to find her body for her burial. ”

Phil was silent for a moment and said.

"Be prepared for the situation here. ”

Phil didn't pick it out, and everyone knew that it would be very difficult for Brell to find a body in this situation.

"Don't worry, if she doesn't go I know where she is, I let her wait for me there, but I ......"

Ral couldn't go on, and it seemed that something was stuck in his throat and he couldn't make a sound.

"Alas......"

Phil sighed, patted him on the shoulder, didn't know what to say, he couldn't empathize, the only one in the world who had a better relationship with Setia left a message for him.

"Do you have children?"

"Luckily we don't have children. ”

Lal exhaled and said.

"I thought it wouldn't be a problem to have a magister in the Inhumans, but now that I think I'm stupid...... I told her to hide in that place, and I'll come back to pick her up, and after he was killed by Robert, I lost hope, and then you showed up. ”

He said with a self-deprecating smile.

"Living in the era of peace for so long, I never thought that the town of Brell would be captured, you told us to run and we ran desperately, and I didn't think of my wife until I saw Brell being captured by the Inhumans, but it was too late for anything......"

Ral's tears welled up in his eyes.

"I am the murderer of my wife. ”

Ral wiped tears from his eyes.

"Roach has a wife and children, and he is also under a lot of pressure, and he was completely depressed a few days before he ran away, and I was afraid that he would not be able to think of suicide in those days, but everyone knew that since he decided to run away at the beginning, it was too late for anything. ”

"Everyone has never dared to go back, not because they are afraid of death, but because they can't face their cowardly self. But after all this time, I still plan to go back and see, and everyone still has a glimmer of hope. ”

"We are all sinners, and we all want to live well and atone for our sins. ”

......

That time Lal did not find her wife, there was no body and no person, Lal insisted that he would not be taken away by the family, the Jimenez family's evacuation this time was completely a high-level evacuation, they soldiers, including the maids, were not eligible to be taken away by the family, Lal went back and forth several times in the town of Brell to find the body of his wife, obviously, there was little hope.

Most of the surviving swordsmen are single, many of these people are soldiers of the Goering family, the soldiers of the Goering family are not allowed to fall in love freely, and there are only five or six elderly and Ral, which means that the mood in the camp is quite stable, and in two months, those swordsmen who have lost their families have stabilized and are trying to contribute to the construction of the camp.

"Over here, Lord Phil!"

An old man pointed to a pit with a smile and commanded.

"Hey!"

Phil snorted and thrust the huge log vertically into the pit, and the swordsmen on either side quickly took over, jumped onto the log and slammed it downward, tying it to the other logs with a sturdy hemp rope.

The sequence of movements was very smooth, and Phil patted the dust on his hands with great satisfaction.

The whole camp has begun to grow, the trees on the hill are not very tall, it is very suitable for the camp fence, just now that is the last fence, has been built.

The fence had enclosed the whole camp, and in the middle was a concentric circle of simple houses made of wood and leaves, and Phil's house was surrounded in the middle, scattered with pheasants and hares caught from the mountains in captivity, and a well, which Andre had proposed to drill, and there was still some distance from the big river, and it was still more troublesome to get water back and forth, and it was not difficult to get a large well not far from the river.

"How's your 'big production' going?"

Phil asked with a smile on the old man's face.

"It's coming, it's coming. ”

The old man rubbed his hands and smiled, he was the old man who raced with Phil at the beginning.

"When Ral brings back the most important materials, you're done. ”

"Then look forward to your good news, Andrey. “

Andre is a very magical old man, he is very skilled in magic and mechanics, Phil is very optimistic about his ability, he can run through Phil by relying on a mechanical gadget tied to his leg, and he also made a very labor-saving suction machine, using that suction machine to save more than double the time of drilling wells.

Of course, the premise is that there are no mages or warlocks in the camp, mages and warlocks can also greatly improve labor efficiency, any flotation technique, heavy objects are not a problem, and mages who are friendly with the water element can also quickly pump water from the well.

Montelte's mechanical use rate is extremely low, or there is no machinery at all, there was an underground gray elf many years ago, their mechanical civilization is very developed, but after hundreds of years of development, they were easily wiped out by the orthodox twilight elves, the reason is only to use machinery to defile the elven bloodline.

This proves that complex machines are simply useless, unable to resist the strength of powerful individuals, nor can they be used against simple but powerful magicians.

Andrei dismissed this argument, but he said that he had been thinking about developing a magic-powered machine many years ago, which was qualitatively different from a weapon like a magic guide, and that the failure of the underground grime elves was that they didn't know how to adapt, and Montelte, where the magic system was highly developed, actually wanted to develop pure machinery.

People are always afraid of the unknown, and for the people of Montelte, the terrifying-looking machine is unknown, and in the eyes of the Goddess, the user and maker of the machine is heretical, so the defeat of the Underground Grim Elves is inevitable.

He also revealed his background, his ancestors were survivors of the underground gray elves, who fled thousands of miles to the edge of the continent to survive, and because of a great change in a neighboring country, the identity of the remnant race was revealed, and the Goddess Cult openly exterminated the race, and he fled to Brel as a survivor, and has been studying magic machinery incognito for all these years.

The buried mines laid out by Breel were developed by him.

Although Phil didn't see the power of the mines, the other swordsmen all looked adoring, which made Andre a little fluttering, and he was now mysteriously making a "big production", patting his chest and assuring that success would definitely surprise them.

Phil fully supports Andre's research and development, regardless of whether the magic machinery has developed to a certain extent in the camp or not, but he has already felt the convenience brought by the magic machinery in the early stage, Phil has a hunch that if the magic machinery civilization really develops, its efficiency is definitely considerable, but it is a pity that many machines cannot be brought out in Brell Town, and have been destroyed by the Inhumans, and Andre only brought some key parts and drawings.

"Your Excellency!"

Roach called out from the sidelines.

"What's the matter?"

Phil walked over and asked.

"Look at the weather, it's going to snow in the next two days. ”

Phil frowned and looked at the sky, a white expanse that had completely covered the sky, and there was not a trace of blue in sight.

"This time it must be different from the snow that has fallen casually before, and the heavy snow season should have arrived. ”

Rocky said worriedly.

"If it snows, the brothers' food, clothing and shelter cannot be guaranteed, although it will not be very cold with physical fitness now, but it will definitely not work when it snows heavily. ”

Phil rubbed his temples with a headache, heavy snow is indeed a big problem.

Such a humble house could not withstand the cold winter, and the animals or plants that could be eaten in the mountains would be greatly reduced as the snow closed the mountains, and Phil knew that only the cold fruit could be soaked, and that thing was bitter and sour, and it was impossible to survive the long two-month cold winter on it.

"Do you have any good ideas?"

Phil asked Roach.

"Can we go back to Breel?"

"There's no other way around now. ”

Phil nodded, the town of Brell is still in a very dangerous situation, there will be straggled, supporting Inhumans passing through Breel at any time, scattered and fine, a commander or an army has to be finished, and the executioner and the baby statue are estimated to have a while before they can rest well.

"Okay, I'll go tell everyone and ask who has a better solution. ”

Roach nodded and said.

There is no news about the hourglass prop and the pendant prop for so long, the pendant prop seems to have quieted down after killing a few people, and now he is missing, and the hourglass prop has not been heard from the beginning until now, he looks like no one has been killed until now, could it be that he needs a long time to recover his body?

There is no way to know.

"Lord Phil!"

In the distance, he heard Lal shouting to himself, he was back.

Phil hurried over, he seemed very excited to come back this time.

"Phil-sama......"

Ral ran up to Phil and gasped hard.

"Slow down, what about the others?"

Phil hurriedly grabbed Ral by the shoulder and asked.

"Its ...... The others haven't come back yet, and they're not done exploring there, so I'll hurry back and let you know. “

Phil called Roach over and motioned for Ral to speak slowly.

"The first is that I have found my wife's body and buried her. ”

He took a breath and continued.

"The second is that we've found the Inhumans' lair. ”

"Where!?"

Phil and Roach were shocked in unison.

"In a big crater about thirty kilometers from the town of Breer. ”

"You've gone that far?"

Roach asked, confused.

"I'll explain this later, but look at this. ”

Ral said as he pulled out a holographic mirror crystal.
