Chapter 376: The First Slaves
readx;? Colby was in Adam's study that day, and his face was full of excitement to express that he would always be loyal to Adam and never betray Blackstone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 To be honest, Adam really didn't expect his decision to have such a big impact on Colby.
In the following time, the construction of the Third District fell to Stewart, and Colby was called out by Adam to conquer the primary technology and magic knowledge system.
Colby took a hundred carefully selected dwarfs to live in a small research institute, eating, drinking, and lazaring in it, except for setting aside a very little time to sleep and eat every day, they studied with all their might, like a sponge absorbing every piece of scientific and technological magic information in the small research institute.
This momentum really made Adam embarrassed, and at the same time, it also made Adam rerealize the dwarf's dedication to the inheritance of science and technology.
Under Adam's re-planning, Blackstone Town uses the mutated dwarf technology tree as the core, and strives to overcome the technology magic system and climb the technology tree.
Adam had already thought that after the loyalty of the 100,000 gnomes in the Third City was raised, he would arm them with technological magic weapons! It can be said that the 100,000 gnomes in the Third City are all reserve soldiers in Adam's eyes.
At the same time, agriculture and construction are also in a state of high development.
A few days later, Sharp's slave hunters returned to Blackstone for the first time. No, to be precise, it was Sharp who sent some slaves back.
By the time Adam received the news, the team escorting the slaves had left Blackstone once again, leaving only one member to report to Adam.
According to the news brought by Sharp, this time he led the slave catcher group to participate in the war between the two principalities in the south as a mercenary, and he benefited from the strong strength of the three hundred recruits in Blackstone Town and Kate's elusive ability, and he was very popular on the battlefield.
He led several encounters and ransacking behind enemy lines, and he continued to collect slaves in these battles, and would continue to send people to transport them to Blackstone in the later stages, but since he himself could not leave the battlefield for the time being, he had to send others to report the situation.
The first batch of slaves sent by Sharp was more than 2,000 people, and according to the report of the members of the slave hunting group who stayed in Blackstone Town, there are currently tens of thousands of slaves in Sharp's hands, but due to the limited manpower, there is no way to transport them back at once, so they can only be transported in batches.
Adam counted the days, this is more than a month since Sharp left Blackstone Town, although only two thousand slaves were sent back, but according to Sharp's current situation, the remaining ten thousand slaves will be sent in the next month.
Sharp was satisfied with the goal Adam had set for him, and Adam sent someone to contact Sharp, praised him, and told him to continue his efforts to capture the slaves.
And Adam also sent someone to tell Sharp to come back to replenish the troops when the war was almost over. Adam had already planned to replace most of the veterans of the Sharp slave catcher with half of the veterans who had experienced the war, and then stuff him with some new recruits.
In doing so, firstly, Sharp's slave catcher group was used as a place for Blackstone Town to train troops, and secondly, to avoid the increasing number of soldiers in Sharp's hands, which would inevitably lead to a rebellious mood. After all, Sharp is not a character called by the manual, and Adam has always been wary of the loyalty of the Morino Dai6 native.
Unless, like Colby, loyalty to himself is an undiminished rank, Adam would never have entrusted such an important matter to him. The slave catcher in Sharp's hands is still not very strong, and Kate is still restraining Sharp, but Adam is still on guard.
Although Kate is not a character summoned by the manual, he has no relatives for Sharp, and was forced into the slave hunting group by Adam, and is in a high position, and he will definitely be ostracized by the old members of the slave hunting group.
In a short period of time, Kate can only count on Adam and use Adam to restrain Sharp, but it is difficult to say after a long time. Since ancient times, power is more moving than wealth, and Adam could not have fully trusted Kate just because he called him a few times to his brother-in-law.
He categorically wouldn't allow himself to do anything to raise a tiger, and Adam wondered if he would wait until Sharp came back next time and send Alan or Stewart to take over the matter.
As for whether Sharp is happy or not, it's none of Adam's business, aren't you happy? Yes! The soldiers take it back, let's say goodbye! It's not like I'm in Blackstone Town that I can't form my own slave hunting group!
After making up his mind, Adam put aside the matter of Sharp's slave catcher for the time being, and turned to care about Colby's small research institute.
Throughout Blackstone, apart from the manual characters, Adam only has a deep trust in Colby and the old butler. After all, both of them are old men in Blackstone Town, and their loyalty to Adam is extremely strong, and they are both irreducible loyalty, which makes Adam feel more relieved to use it.
At the small institute, Colby is debriefing Adam on his work.
"My lord, the current dwarf people in the research institute are not very fast to learn the knowledge system of primary technology and magic, and I estimate that it will take at least three months for them to fully master the primary knowledge system. Colby reported to Adam with trepidation, who had given him a time limit of two months to complete it, but he didn't show up until he took over the institute.
The gnomes under his command could not absorb this knowledge in a short period of time, after all, they had lived a life of hunger and cold for thousands of years, and none of the gnomes had been exposed to the knowledge system of technology and magic, not even the Schott-style gnomes.
Colby gave Adam a three-month time limit, already gritting his teeth after referring to the dwarfs' talent for scientific and magical research.
Sure enough, when Adam heard Colby's words, his brow furrowed, and he glanced around, the small institute was full of busy gnomes, each of whom had their own business.
According to Colby's story, in the past half a month, they have not relaxed their spirits, except for eating and sleeping, the rest of the time is spent on conquering the primary scientific and technological magic knowledge system.
But it's still too slow!Adam had already taken a fancy to several defensive structures on the tech tree, and he had planned to add them to the Third District at the same time as the construction.
But three months is still too long, and the walls of the Third City have not yet been built, and what will happen to the 100,000 gnomes of the Third City in case of danger? Adam had hoped that these fortifications would provide them with shelter.
Adam frowned and asked Colby, "How's your progress?" According to the upgrade conditions of the tech tree, it only takes one dwarf to master all the primary magical knowledge systems to build those mid-level defensive buildings that Adam wants.
When Colby heard Adam's question, he raised his little head with some pride: "My lord, if I were alone, it would probably take a few days to fully grasp the content of these primary inheritances. ”
Adam's eyes lit up, and then he was a little relieved, after all, Colby is the patriarch of the Short clan, and he must have more access to some knowledge of science and technology magic than ordinary dwarfs, and with the foundation of the knowledge system he once understood, it is not difficult for him to re-contact and learn the most basic knowledge system of science and technology magic.
Don't forget, the gnomes are a race that is born with technological magic, and it's a natural talent that exists within them. If you were to learn it as an ordinary human, it would be difficult to understand the structure of even the most rudimentary ZR1-1 magic gun.
Adam encouraged Colby to master the rudimentary system of technology and magic in the shortest possible time, and then turned around and left the small institute with the Spartan warriors.
