Chapter 53 Appointment
Link had a gloomy face as he looked at Priestess Shar who was helping him audit his documents in the tent, this priest was not a dark mage creature covered in black mist, but a normal human being, tall and soft, and her skin that had not seen the sun for many years looked a little pale, adding a bit of weakness and touching temperament to her.
Three days ago, Link was going to make a show, but he didn't expect the projection of the Night Lady to appear in front of Link, and he personally blew out the candles for Link, and this ritual should have been completed as the junior priest of the "Night Enterer", and the gods personally appeared to perform the letter initiation ceremony for the believer, which alarmed the Yin Soul High Mage at that time, and the originally quite arrogant High Master politely saluted Link, and then sent the "Night Lady" away.
The next day, Link, who had already been most of his own people, ushered in this priestess of Shar named Misha to serve as his secretary, and Link was relieved, although he sent this female secretary of the Shadow Man to definitely have a motive to spy on him, but this also showed that the Shadow Man began to face himself squarely and no longer regarded himself as a role that could be replaced at any time.
Thinking of the ritual a few days ago, Link frowned secretly, Lady Night didn't say a word to herself, let alone give herself any golden finger, but in the Yin Soul City, where the people's belief is extremely fanatical, Lady Night rarely appears to personally perform the "Night" ceremony, not to mention herself, the leader of the desert barbarians! The appearance of Lady Night undoubtedly shows that she is paying attention to herself, Link doesn't think that she is a peerless genius worthy of the attention of the gods, and the only difference between herself and others is the identity of a traverser.
Before Link could figure it out, there was the roar of fireballs and the flapping of the wings of the spider-eater, no need to ask, it must be the ghost mage who was abusing and killing the spider-eater, Link took a breath quite comfortably, but smelled the fragrance of Misha beside him, which made Link feel a little ecstatic, but thinking of the identity of this female secretary, the small flame in Link's heart was immediately extinguished.
Looking at Link, who was staring straight at him, Misha glanced at Link fiercely, and Link looked down at the parchment in his hand with a little guilt, thinking about it while looking at it.
The Yin Soul people have regarded Link as most of their own people, and many news no longer shy away from Link, the Yin Soul Mage even began to teach Link the knowledge of spells, Nesser's magic knowledge is worthy of being the best in Faeron, just a few days of spiritual power casting training and magic net contact practice, it made Link not long ago break through the first-level mage rank There are signs of breakthrough, faintly about to be upgraded to a second-level mage, the Yin Soul Mage is very appreciative of Link's qualifications, saying that Link is also qualified to go to the Arcanist School in the Nether City, originally Link was quite complacent about this, but this pride stopped immediately as the Yin Soul Mage saw Niataใ
Njata, who incarnated as a teacher, had a little more elegant temperament, even if she was wearing a headscarf, her clear eyes were quite moving, so that the Yin Soul Mage couldn't help but take a few more looks, and the Yin Soul Mage immediately changed his complexion, and asked about Niata's identity and experience, and was immediately amazed.
It turned out that Niata's talent for the fit of the magic net and the manipulation of spiritual power was very outstanding, and with a bit of weight, the Yin Soul Mage could not see Niata's mage apprenticeship at a glance, and the Yin Soul Mage immediately stated that with Niata's talent, it was very promising to advance to a high-level mage above the eleventh level mage.
At Link's request, Niata also began to accept the teachings of the Yin Soul Mage, so that Niata could become a fifth-level mage as soon as possible, for Niata, Link is still quite trusting now, although there was a careful thought of surrendering in the past, but he accompanied himself all the way, and he was also his only relative, and after implementing the work division system to promote the status of women, he strongly supported himself.
Thinking of the division of work system, Link had a headache and looked at the records in his hand, and now there was a problem.
There are so many things that can be done in the desert, the war corps, the garrison, the ministers and subordinates have to earn work points every day, and the production team also has to earn work points, and the commune gradually cannot provide so many things that can earn work points, although it is also possible to use things such as building walls to pay for work, but this kind of work for relief cannot last long, nor can it produce the necessary means of production for the commune.
The only way is to develop the industry and promote employment.
What kind of industry can be developed in the desert? If Link is given the choice, Link will choose tourism, but this is undoubtedly very nonsense in Faeron, even the brainless nobles in Waterdeep City will not come all the way to the desert to sunbathe.
What kind of industry does the Commune have now? There is almost nothing, there is no coal and iron in the desert, there are no blacksmiths in the old tribes, and the damaged iron items can only be recovered by the merchants at a low price, but now a few dwarven slaves have been found in the camp, as well as pig iron and bituminous coal left by the Santarin Society, and finally the tools and gnome machinery of the camp can be repaired.
There is no saltpeter for tanning fur in the desert, and the method of tanning camel skin is to use the camel's brain with water, apply it and dry it for a few days, and smoke it with palm leaves and camel grass, and the fur made has a strong fishy smell, and only the Bedai people themselves will use this kind of fur.
There were a few carpenters who produced the wooden products of tent frames and dwarf tables, but the commune could not produce iron products such as sewing needles and iron pots, and even if there were some iron materials in the camp now, they were used to repair and excavate tools, and the quantity was too small to develop industry with these.
The only thing Link thought of was weaving, and the women of Beidai now used a rather primitive waist machine loom machine, which of course was also purchased from the hands of merchants, a warp frame, with two warp beams on the warp frame, and between the warp beams were warp yarns, one warp beam was tied to the waist, and one was boarded by the foot, and the weft yarn was pierced with an iron needle from the weaving mouth, and the wooden heald rod was added, and the warp and weft intersected to form a pattern, which could be produced from blankets to linen robes, and it was all about dressing in the desert.
Link was very surprised to see this technology, not sure if the merchants deliberately harmed the clansmen, deliberately sold backward looms, Link immediately drew the pedal heald lifter, the need to manually lift the heald rod and the pedal connection, free his hands, and a little design and research, increased the number of heald looms, drew a multi-heald loom, as for the Ming Dynasty Tiangong Kaiwu recorded in the Hualou loom, too complex Link can not draw.
Please Yin Soul Mage looked at the design drawing, with a small amount of wood and iron, with the magic spell, the commune's first multi-heald loom was born, the efficiency is dozens of times that of the past waist machine, Link called a few carpenters and dwarven blacksmiths, studied this prototype, and found that using the tools in the camp, it can be produced, although it is not sure if there are more advanced looms outside the desert, but the current looms are more advanced than in the past, linen robes and camel hair tapestries can be mass-produced, this is progress.
Link looked at the excited crowd with great joy, and felt some emotion in his heart, if there is enough iron and rivers as the power, the water conservancy forging hammer is a good thing, the desert is still too barren, otherwise he can start a blast furnace to make iron, even if it is the grassroots technology of the last century, it must be stronger than the smelting technology of the Middle Ages of Faerun.
The Yin Soul Mage looked at Link quite complicatedly, although he didn't know much about textile technology, and he didn't know if this thing was advanced in Yin Soul City, but Link had improved the past textile technology dozens of times in a few words, which made the Yin Soul Mage very surprised, and was about to say something to Link, when a Yin Soul Man came over and whispered something in the mage's ear, the mage turned his face to Link and said, "The Yin Soul City has come to order, and it has recognized the existence of your Bei Dai Commune as a vassal of the Yin Soul City." โ
Before Link could be pleased, the mage's second sentence made Link freeze.
"As a vassal, you have to organize a group of troops to fight in the south,"
