"Is the Duke leaving?"

"The expedition has been postponed until tomorrow. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" replied Rose.

"Why?"

Luohua hesitated suddenly. Such an unusual reaction attracted Jiao Ming's attention, and he said indifferently: "If you don't want to say it, forget it." Let's go find Binglian and show her something good. ”

This is Jiao Ming's sincere words, any force or individual will inevitably have some little secrets, and there is no need to get to the bottom of it. Luohua was panicked, and immediately stopped Jiao Ming, who was getting up, and explained: "It's not like this! ”

"Mass wedding? How did I not know?"

"It's those fire magicians recruited from Sardinia City in the autumn who got married, but Miss Ice Lotus doesn't want you to misunderstand anything, and tells me not to talk about it if Mr. doesn't ask about it. And I just didn't know if it was a matter of asking about it. Luo Hua explained as quickly as she could, and then stared at Jiao Ming pitifully, as if waiting for punishment.

Jiao Ming was slightly stunned and figured out the trick, if he was specially told about this wedding and was dragged to watch the ceremony, then it was inevitable that there would be the idea of a crocodile collar hinting that he was about to get married. In order to avoid thinking too much about herself, Binglian made such an entrustment to Luohua, which was quite considerate, and in the face of such thoughtfulness, Jiao Ming didn't know how to respond in a faint gratitude.

"Forget it, just because I didn't ask. Jiao Ming said this to Luohua, and then beckoned the hammer to set off to find the ice lotus.

That night, Bing Lian and Jiao Ming first compiled the translation code of the crocodile collar alphabet, and then wrote a manual and taught a magical warrior who was quite clever and had a talent for qi magic to listen to the signals of one-way magic telegrams. The two of them finally completed all this after the send-off ceremony, before the crocodile duke was about to set out for the expedition.

Seeing his daughter's figure, Duke Crocodile, who was originally a little regretful because of Binglian's absence from the send-off ceremony, was overjoyed, and thought that this small iron box was a lucky charm given to him by his daughter, and after thanking him, he put it directly in his pocket. Bing Lian hurriedly explained and asked Jiao Ming to demonstrate on the spot, and then the misunderstanding was resolved, and the one-way magic telegraph was returned to the magic warrior again.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Jiao Ming. The crocodile duke thanked him earnestly, and then said with regret: "It would be nice if it was both directions." ”

"Don't worry, Lord Duke, since the Wizards Guild has proven that this technology exists, then we will be able to study it sooner or later. When the time comes, I'll send someone to the front for you. Jiao Ming said confidently.

The crocodile duke stared at Jiao Ming for a while, but he didn't say anything more, nodded and left with more than four hundred people. Jiao Ming looked at the team that was traveling quickly, frowning and constantly recalling the expression of the crocodile duke in the few seconds just now, but he couldn't read any special meaning.

"There is a saying in Chinese. Binglian suddenly laughed, tilted her neck and scratched her head, looking reminiscing: "The tiger is gone, the monkey or something." ”

Jiao Ming also smiled: "There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are the kings." What, you want to be the overlord?"

"If there were no cement kilns and alchemy, of course no one would care about me. But now......" Binglian turned her head and winked mischievously at Jiao Ming, meaning self-evident. But having said that, Binglian's eyes were red, and her eyes were gradually overflowing with tears.

Jiao Ming was stunned for a moment, and then he thought that the intensity of the battlefield that the crocodile duke went to was not comparable to the war of the Xu Qin people, even if the crocodile duke was a strong man with half a foot beyond the nine rings, it was not impossible to fall. The separation of the father and daughter this time may be goodbye.

"You can't be an overlord, Ms. Purple Feather is still there. Jiao Ming wanted to subtly comfort Binglian, but he only said this.

Binglian nodded, but tears welled up in her eyes. Jiao Ming hesitated for a second, but still pressed Bing Lian's head into his arms, and then gently patted Bing Lian's back. Somehow, a melody sounded in his heart, and Jiao Ming blurted out and hummed it, it was a song "Insects Fly"

In the distance, the team of magical warriors was already the size of ants in these few words, and then gradually disappeared into the horizon.

......

Two days later, Jiao Ming lost his sense of the one-way magic telegraph, and Binglian was depressed again for a while without shedding tears.

The rest of the territory was relatively smooth, and the iron production steadily increased due to the gradual proficiency of the group of qi magicians, but the two iron-making blast furnaces that were tried failed in both cases. The Cow Guard is gradually accepted by everyone, and even some magic warriors below the sixth ring also ask Xiaoshi to cast spells, after all, it is always good to earn a little more work. Since it is completely linked to the division of work, the issuance and return of copper coins is very simple, and everyone quickly accepts this new thing, and there is a call to break away from the division of work. After several theft cases that were seriously handled, the security bureau where Ms. Ziyu and another thin bamboo pole-like nine-ring magic warrior sat in the security bureau also received initial recognition from everyone.

Ms. Ziyu, who managed the enterprise and ruled everything in the territory at the same time, was busy all day, and finally began to hire a large number of people in management positions under Jiao Ming's suggestion, providing an institutional foundation for this small workshop-like family business to become bigger and stronger. And Binglian also began to manage a stall on her own on the basis of the first technical backbone, and was no longer Ms. Ziyu's little secretary.

More than ten days after Duke Crocodile left, Binglian, who gradually had the right to speak, finally began to build a three-story building with reinforced concrete beams and columns and prefabricated slabs under Jiao Ming's advice.

The drawings of the building were drawn by Jiao Ming, who was not from a design background, and could only draw from cats and tigers, so he only designed three floors conservatively. In terms of raw materials, the sand was collected from the nearby river, and the gravel was abandoned in large quantities during the construction of the castle for such a long time, just in time for waste use.

The most difficult thing is the steel bar, the pig iron material is mainly Jiao Ming's three-percent share, and then the ice lotus uses the fire magic medium to accurately reduce the carbon content. Although there was no equipment to verify the strength, the few eight-ring magic warriors who stayed behind were all trying their best to destroy it, and Jiao Ming thought that this was enough.

After listening to Semer's description of the construction process of the mage tower, Jiao Ming formulated a rather fantastical construction plan: a group of qi magicians cast spells to make the raw materials in a weightless state, several magic warriors stirred it with steel bars, and then floated and wrapped this thing on the tied steel bars, controlling the power of space to shape it into a cylindrical shape, and the fire magicians quickly hardened the cement and lived.

Jiao Ming patted the finished product and observed that there was nothing wrong with it except for a lot of bubbles. Recalling the magic tower in Sardinia City, Jiao Ming asked Semel about the method of removing air bubbles, and Semel rolled her eyes and thought about it for a long time, and replied that she didn't know.

Jiao Ming's daily tasks are mining, designing machinery and daily necessities, researching space magic, and building houses. When the first floor of the house was only halfway completed, Ice Lotus once again hired more than 100 people with the talent of low-ring magicians from Sardinia City, and Jiao Ming had a new task, taking those newly recruited qi magicians who were temporarily assigned to the name of the construction company to practice building houses.
