"Hmm! Where am I? ”

Slowly opened his eyes, Luo Zhengdao's eyes were blank at this time, and he stared at the ceiling blankly, looking like a defeated dog in life.

Seeing this, Vina Dubov next to him immediately approached his mouth with a glass of water and said happily:

"Will, are you awake? Drink some water! ”

Luo Zhengdao, who was gradually regaining consciousness, stretched out his arms to prop himself up, barely drank a few sips of water, moistened his dry mouth and throat, and after a while, his consciousness was finally completely awake, blinked and said:

"I'm fine, what time is it?"

"The 17th of the New Month."

This answer was like a lightning bolt that woke up Luo Zhengdao, who was still in a state of numbness not long ago, and he couldn't help but open his mouth wide and asked rhetorically:

"Ahh It's been two months, and the baby has already been born, right? ”

As soon as the words came out, his eyes subconsciously turned around the waist of the half-elf beauty, Luo Zhengdao knew that he had made another mistake, and he knocked his head in frustration, as if he was dissatisfied with the decline in reflexes and IQ. Fortunately, Vina Dubov did not care about such a trivial matter, and happily took a baby from the cradle next to her, and said:

"Yes, this is our daughter."

The newborn baby's face is not beautiful and moving, and the skin is wrinkled like a little monkey, Luo Zhengdao tilted his head slightly to look at the child, he turned his head and looked at the smiling Vena again, and praised against his will and said:

"A very beautiful girl will definitely be a beauty in the future."

After that, Luo Zhengdao tried to take a few breaths, accumulated some strength, and then said:

"Vena, help me up."

Carefully taking the baby baby from Vina's hand, Luo Zhengdao experienced a sense of intimacy connected by blood, and the warmth and emotion flowed in his heart, as if all the hardships had been washed away. It was only at this time that he let go of his philosophical speculation on whether the child he gave birth to after the soul of the traverser was considered his own, which seemed to others to be quite nonsensical and painful, and kissed his daughter's forehead with joy.

"Shhh I just found out that my lips were actually cracked like this. ”

Severe pain mixed with the strong smell of rust in his mouth, touching his lips lightly with his fingers, Luo Zhengdao saw a touch of crimson on his fingertips as he wished, and Vina Dubov said in a low voice:

"It's not dehydration, I've been feeding you diluted rum and milk, and I've wiped my lips, the power of the curse is terrifying."

I know my own affairs, how difficult the curse of the Aragami is, has Luo Zhengdao not understood it? At this time, he could only pretend to be stupid and say to the half-elf beauty in line with the basic principle that comforting others is not a lie:

"Well, don't worry, I won't be able to die anytime soon."

Hearing this, Vina Dobov glanced at someone with a resentful look in her eyes, showing that she did not believe this statement in her heart. Seeing this scene, he was originally talking nonsense with his eyes open, Luo Zhengdao was really a little embarrassed, and after being silent for a while, he had no choice but to divert the topic and said:

"What's the child's name?"

"I haven't decided on a name yet, how about you choose a name?"

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao raised his hand and scratched his head with a little distress, frowned and said:

"Uh, I'll think about it...... Is it OK to call Tidlet? ”

As the so-called world article is copied, see if you can copy it, if you do a good job of plagiarism, then you can confidently sue others, I call it artistic recreation. You see, the left and right are all the business of the reader, so how can it be considered stealing? It's insulting for you to say that! Writing wheel eye cos or something, can that also be considered plagiarism? Reference! This cliff is called borrowing, you know?

Tian shamelessly plagiarized ideas from the old world, and Luo Zhengdao followed up with a pose of "Hurry up and praise me!" The sullen posture, this scene saw that the half-elf beauty couldn't help laughing.

Out of the good cultivation of the lady, Vina Dubov did not complain about someone's malicious funny, but said lightly:

"Well, Tido? I love the name. ”

The news of the king's awakening was reported to Faure Chopin at the first time, and the old retainers were busy these days. Wen piled up a desk, and the messengers who came to visit him under various names were even more rejected by him, and now that Luo Zhengdao regained his consciousness, the old Fu Er, who had been holding the thunder for him, was fortunate to be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

“…… Your Majesty, according to your new plan, we need more ingots, but we can't smelt that kind of high-quality steel at the moment. ”

Luo Zhengdao, who once fell into a deep coma and could not preside over the overall situation, stood up again, and the chaotic scene of the demons dancing some time ago immediately disappeared. Not to mention anything else, the dozens of messengers who went to Faul Chopin's office to make a fuss about visiting their illness were all kicked out by Luo Zhengdao, and these guys didn't even dare to let go of their farts and ran away, and hurriedly went to the masters behind their respective backs.

Someone like a traverser, although he nominally inherited his ancestral business, is actually a ruthless person who has worked hard from the battlefield by himself, and his personal ability and prestige are impeccable. As long as there is still a breath left, even if he is already so sick that he is lying on the bed and humming, no matter how complex the forces under his command are, he can't turn the sky upside down. The power of the spear is not comparable to the successor who grew up in the arms of the noblewomen of the court. Those guys who came to disturb actually wanted to know if Will Needham was dead, so they ran so happily when they met, although they looked a little wolf, but the purpose of testing the truth had been achieved.

Hearing Lao Fuer's complaint, Luo Zhengdao thought for a while, then said with a smile:

"Well, then get out the news, we're going to buy technical talent. I believe that in the Yaling Empire and the Elven Federation, there will be many technicians who have mastered the smelting technology and cannot live a rich life, and they will definitely not understand the country's plight, and whoever is willing to pay a high price will be willing to work for whom. Do you know what I mean? Faure! ”

The knowing old retainer stroked his chest with his hand, leaned over and said:

"Of course, His Majesty the King. Wouldn't this be done without causing displeasure among friendly countries? ”

As the curse of the desolate god strengthened again, Luo Zhengdao, who felt more and more that his time was pressing, now had no mind to care about whether his friends would be surprised, and said categorically:

"Hmph, do I care if they're happy or not? Let's do it! ”

There will be brave men under the reward! Although he has always adhered to the good habit of living within his means, in his bones, Luo Zhengdao is not a stingy person after all, and he doesn't care about expenses when buying his favorite items, which also extends to his attitude towards talents. If he can buy the much-needed talents and technology with money, Luo Zhengdao will naturally no longer care about trivial issues such as more money and less money, now what he needs is a steel ingot with a glimmer of blue light to make warships and weapons, instead of putting the golden gold coins under his bed, sleeping until midnight, quietly getting up and counting the money carefully, and having a good time

"Your Majesty, you can call me Theseus! I am Rashid Derij Hughes, an engineer at the former Royal Mint of Yaling. ”

Money talks! This personable Yaling engineer consciously and voluntarily took the initiative to bite the hook, he introduced his past resume in a gentlemanly manner, and his confident and warm smile was full of the superiority of successful people.

Under the hardships and dangers of the new world, Luo Zhengdao has long passed the stage of self-pity, and now he waved his hand nonchalantly and said:

"Oh, sorry to interrupt you, I want to know one thing, do the engineers at the Mint know steel?"

For professionals, reputation is their intangible asset, and a well-known expert must earn more than an unknown rat, even if the latter is more capable. Those who say that fame is not important are often unknown, and those celebrities will not be so hypocritical to clear themselves, who dares to say that fame is not part of wealth and status.

Immediately, the gentleman replied politely, though he was slightly unhappy in his heart:

"Yes, His Majesty. Having worked at Royal Steel for 60 years, you may not know that the mint is more technically demanding than the steelworks. ”

That's right, after 60 years in a job, a pig should also learn the unique craft of pressing the bottom of the box. No matter how confidential the smelting process is, it has been watched by people for so long, not to mention that if you know ten out of ten, at least it is no problem to understand nine out of ten! The grade of iron ore produced in Wake Reef is low, but the quality of the finished steel ingot has little to do with the quality of the ore, at most the proportion of slag is higher, which raises the cost of smelting, and the key link in determining the quality of steel is the smelting process. The Yaling engineer who came to apply for the job confidently claimed that he could produce a product of the same quality as Royal Steel, and that it was guaranteed to be mass-produced.

Whether it's a mule or a horse, you have to pull it out for a walk, so what are you waiting for, just pull the pole on!

After a brief conversation between the two sides, Luo Zhengdao immediately instructed Faure Chopin to arrange for the Yaling engineer to go to the steel workshop to start trial production, so that he could not find a crook with a high salary to come back! Losing some money is a small matter, the problem is that he can't afford to lose this person!

"During my absence, did anything happen over there in Qiongzhou?"

After retiring the idle people in the room, and hearing the murderous intent hidden in Luo Zhengdao's tone, Faure Chopin's brows twitched twice, and said:

"No, Your Majesty. Earlier, according to your order, the attendants informed Qiongzhou that you had come to Wick Reef to accompany Lady Vena, and the situation was normal. ”

Such an understatement made Luo Zhengdao suspicious, could it be that those guys who ran to Wake Reef to spread wild were the product of his hallucination? Thinking in the old family is to maintain internal order, Luo Zhengdao will not delve into it, and instead said:

"Any news of the expedition sent to the Sea of Light?"

"Not for the time being, if they have any news back, I will report to you as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, Luo Zhengdao was already a little tired, and it was said that his law-incarnated body was unlikely to have the feeling of exertion, but the weakened state caused by the Aragami curse had the same effect. So, Luo Zhengdao propped up his chin with his hand and said:

"Well, go down and rest! Faure. ”

The old retainer bowed and said in a firm tone:

"Please take care of yourself, Fort will be happy to serve you at any time, my majesty."
