Hetty didn't know what her ancestor from seven hundred years ago was thinking at this time, and she was destined not to understand the plans that were too distant and grand for her now, but following Gawain's gaze and looking at the camp full of life and vitality in the distance, she also seemed to be infected and became invigorated.

A land from scratch, a new order, a promised future - Hetty thinks she has passed her girlhood when she was easily touched by external objects, but at this moment, she can't help but look forward to something better in this land.

This is the biggest difference between her and those traditional aristocrats - traditional aristocrats do not expect change.

"What I told you today, you just have to keep it in mind for the time being," Gawain suddenly turned around and reminded Hetty, "These things are too advanced, and they don't understand them when they say them to the lords, but to the nobles...... If they don't understand, then they'll think you're crazy, and if they do, then they'll think you're a mortal enemy. ”

Hetillo was slightly stunned, and with her intelligence, she quickly understood what Gawain meant.

The new order, though still a little bit of it, was enough to touch the sensitive nerves of the aristocracy, and it might indeed bring prosperity to the land, but that prosperity was not necessarily what the traditional aristocracy liked to see.

After all, they are different from the Cecil family, and their lives are still extremely nourishing.

"I understand, but can I talk to Rebecca?" Hetty nodded, but as soon as she finished speaking, she pursed her lips and shook her head slightly, "I'm afraid that kid can't understand these complicated ......"

"No, you're underestimating her," Gawain laughed, "Rebecca is probably smarter than you think, but her intellect never finds the right stage." I think she's been ...... lately."

Before Gawain could finish speaking, a small figure suddenly appeared in his sight: Betty ran quickly along the ridge. The little maid with a few cute freckles on her face came to him, gasped for a few breaths, and then bowed awkwardly: "Master! Miss Rebecca is looking for you! ”

"What is she looking for me......" Gao Wen stopped in the middle of speaking, "Oh, you must have forgotten." ”

"I didn't forget this time!" Betty straightened up and said crisply, "She said she was going to work, so let you go over and see her work!" ”

Hetty walked up from behind: "What's going on?" ”

Betty thought for a moment and shook her head: "Forget! ”

Gawain Herty: "......"

"Yes, I know what it is," Gawain rubbed the little girl's head in front of him with a smile, "It seems that she has been studying the magic array for several days, and finally managed to get rid of that 'magic net', but I thought she was going to toss for a longer time - how about it, Hetty, are you going to take a look?" Anyway, there won't be anything important here for the time being, so why don't you go and see how Rebecca's first 'engineering project' is completed? ”

"To be honest, I'm really worried about what she'll be like, after all, a crappy mage who can only use fireball spells has to make such a large-scale magic circle...... Although they are all rudimentary runes," Hetty shook his head with a smile, and then looked in the direction of the wooden shed, "Then Knight Philip, the ancestor and I will go and take a look at the blacksmith shop, and I will leave it to you first." ”

The young knight immediately stood up straight and struck his breastplate with his hand: "I will definitely live up to my mission!" ”

A small overseer of the reclamation work was stunned to make him shout an epic slogan...... Gawain couldn't help but sigh, how could there be such an old-fashioned and old-fashioned character among the young knights, and even strictly abide by the rules and precepts like the classical knights...... Is this really the power of faith?

Gawain and Herty left, and Betty looked around to see if she had nothing to do, and slipped into the hut. It was still early in the cooking season, and the laundry had been done, and the little maid, who had nothing to do for the time being, became interested in the paper with a lot of words and drawings left on the wooden table.

When Philip Knight saw the little girl's movements, he watched her movements carefully, in case the dumb little girl messed up the important things—he was ready to stop them at any time.

Betty, on the other hand, looked curiously at the drawing with the waterwheel, but soon shifted her interest to the sheet with numbers and names, and she leaned closer to the table and pointed to a pen and paper: "Can I write?" ”

Philip Knight took away some pen and paper and looked at the little girl very seriously: "Do you know how to write?" ”

"Can't write," Betty shook her head, then added, "Can't read!" ”

"Then you are not allowed to touch it," said Philip a little sternly, "the pen and paper are all bought by the lord with money, not for you to play with." ”

Betty was stunned for a moment, then nodded a little frustrated: "Oh......"

Knight Philip frowned at the little maid's depressed appearance, he felt that he might have been too harsh, but it was his duty to protect the lord's belongings - especially when everything in the territory was scarce, and even a piece of paper and a pen had to be transported from Tanzanian Town, and he couldn't let a little girl waste those precious writing instruments.

Finally, he comforted Betty a little, but the little girl left with frustration and regret.

Looking at Betty's back as he walked on the ridge, Philip couldn't help but think of the conversation between Duke Gawain and Lady Hetty.

Let them be literate.

Let everyone be literate.

Is it really possible? Is it really possible to do this? Would it really be done?

But if she did, the little maid would be able to write.

When he came to the "blacksmith shop", Gawain found that it had become a construction site, and there were many busy "workers" in the large open courtyard, and several soldiers were guarding all kinds of materials piled up in the corner of the yard, Rebecca was standing in the middle of the courtyard, holding a large stack of papers in her hand, and introducing something to the old blacksmith Hammer, while several of Hammer's apprentices were honestly standing next to him, listening attentively.

It looked like that, and it was clear that Rebecca had called Gawain after the project had already begun.

"Ahh Ancestors! Rebecca saw Gawain, who was nearly two meters tall, from a distance, and then saw Herbie following Gawain, "and Aunt Herbie......"

The little girl's awe of Herty was quite serious.

"I'll see your progress," Hetty smiled faintly, although she didn't know how good Rebecca could do, but looking at this orderly and decent scene, she also felt that she needed to smile and encourage, "It seems that you are full of confidence." ”

"Yes! I've been studying it for days! Rebecca crossed her waist and said, although she was a little fairy because she stayed up late, she was still full of vitality, "This magic array is really amazing!" Those calculation formulas are also ...... Ancestor, let me tell you, those formulas are easy to use, thousands of times better than those rigid rune arrangements and spell models, and they can be applied in any way, and this magic circle ......"

"Stop, stop, we're not here to show off to you," Hetty quickly interrupted Rebecca's chatter, she knew that this niece was really good at calculations and theoretical knowledge, but she was afraid that this girl would annoy her ancestor to death if she chattered, "Just tell me how you plan to complete the circle." ”

As soon as she said this, Rebecca nodded vigorously: "Oh, I'm going to bury it in the ground......"

"Buried in the ground?!" Hetty was stunned for a moment, "I saw you digging a lot of trenches, and you were really going to bury them in the ground?!" ”

And when Gawain entered the courtyard, he also saw the ravines that Rebecca had commanded people to dig in the ground—those curved or straight, intersecting or parallel lines formed many geometric structures in this huge courtyard, and formed a rough form of a magic circle as a whole, and in some places that seemed to be nodes, there were also markers such as wooden stakes, and some auxiliary white lines were drawn around - considering that almost all the people who worked here were illiterate and could not read, Things like these auxiliary lines and coordinates should have been done by Rebecca herself.

She first marks the ground and then tells the workers where to dig and how much to dig, which is supposed to be her workflow.

After hearing Hetty's words, Gawain diverted his attention from the ravines, and he glanced at Hetty curiously, "Is there anything wrong with burying the magic array in the ground?" ”

"No...... There's nothing taboo about that," Hetty shook her head, "It's just that most of the magic circles are exposed, on the one hand, it takes a lot of effort to bury them in the ground, and on the other hand, the magicians have to control the operation of the magic circle or monitor it, and burying the magic circle will obviously cause trouble." ”

What she said was all common sense, and it was impossible for Rebecca, as a third-level mage (although she could only use fireball magic), not to know it, but the fact that the girl still did it, only meant that her jumping head was out of control again...... Hetty was a little nervous, fearing that Gawain would blame Rebecca for this, so that the latter's hard-built self-confidence would be greatly damaged.

But this kid has suffered a lot of blows since he was a child, and he should have survived it after a while, right?

While Hetty was thinking about it, Gawain spoke: "Let's not talk about why you buried the circle in the ground - I want to know first, how did you manage to draw it accurately on the ground?" ”

Rebecca was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the old ancestor meant by this question.

Gawain actually asked this question with great consternation.

Rebecca drew a magic array full of geometric shapes with extremely high requirements for precision on a plane that was 100 meters long and wide, and which already produced serious errors when viewed with the naked eye on the surface!

This kind of thing is not difficult in Gawain's home world, there are countless mapping instruments and mathematical tools that can do this kind of drawing, and in this world where magic exists, this kind of thing can actually be done - magicians usually use the Wizard's Eye or Eagle Eye to look down from the sky, and use this simple and crude way to complete the drawing of large circles, but can Rebecca?

She doesn't have any advanced tools other than a few stakes and a few auxiliary lines, the world doesn't have a well-developed system of mathematics and geometry to help her, and she doesn't have any magic other than fireball.

Even the eye of a mage, which a second-level mage can master, she can't.

So how did she do it?

Gawain repeated his question: "How did you draw it accurately on the ground?" ”
