In July, the total number of dwarf craftsmen in the city of fog had reached more than a thousand. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Unlike the gnome craftsmen who first arrived in Misttown, the most recent to arrive were from the Far North. When they passed through the Knight Federation, they had already been delayed by gravity discomfort syndrome for a long time, and after arriving in Fog City, in addition to the discomfort caused by the change in gravity again, they also encountered an even more troublesome problem.

They are extremely afraid of heights.

As far as Downer knew, although the gnomes lived in the southernmost part of the Far North, the gravity there was already seven or eight times that of Middle-earth.

In that gravity environment, a fall from a height of half a meter could kill you, and not only that, but most of their houses don't have roofs - not for enjoyment, like in Shaida's starry sky, but because if something falls from the roof, you can kill someone.

So, as far as Downer knew, the metal workshops in the Far North were spread out on the ground, and the way to get high temperatures was to grind aquamarine into powder and sprinkle it in a metal smelting pond.

Thinking that the environment in that place is so harsh, it is no wonder that the dwarf people are obsessed with metal processing, but the mechanical civilization is still in the stage of manual hammering.

As more and more gnomes came to Fog City, many dwarves also came in company. Among these dwarves, except for a few laborers who were not afraid of heights and were arranged to transport materials in the Fog City, the others were all temporarily living at the bottom of the Fog City, just like Gernada, and were responsible for keeping the Fog City safe.

In mid-July, Cynthia returns to Foggy City and brings Donner one of the things he needs most, the Gold of Despair.

The dwarf wise man was full of interest in everything that was happening in Fog City, especially the clockwork elevator.

Moreover, compared to craftsmen such as Mason, Cynthia obviously sees a longer view. After going back and forth on the winding elevator several times, and seeing the windmills in Misttown, she finally smiled at Donner, "It seems that even if we don't move to Middle-earth, we will have a way to make a living." ”

Donner knew what she was talking about, and he had to admire Cynthia's tactile acumen, and Cynthia wasn't wrong.

Once the "clockwork battery" can be mass-produced, it can quickly cover all aspects of life in Middle-earth through windmill energy storage, and at that time, even if the Far North country only relies on metallurgical technology and monopolizes raw materials, it can obtain enough food through trade.

It can be said that Downer's plan has only just begun, and the crisis in the Far North has already been solved.

However, this is not good news for Downer. He was reluctant to put the lifeblood of his planned industrial empire in the hands of the Far North - as Gurnada had reminded him, the dwarves would cross the river and tear down bridges - but so far he had too few resources and manpower at his disposal to rely on the Far North for the time being.

However, it was precisely because Cynthia saw hope that she was more obligated to help Donner.

Within two months, the first Desperate Gold Laboratory in Middle-earth was built on the first floor of the street in Fog City.

In fact, the entire Desperate Gold Laboratory only used about twenty kilograms of Desperate Gold. Experienced dwarf craftsmen first hammered a pure copper chamber along the stone chamber wall, and then coated the chamber with a layer of gold heated to a liquid state, a work that took only ten days, and the remaining fifty days were all spent heating the gold coating of the Desperate Realm to make it even.

Donner followed it for a few days and knew the mystery.

Desperate Gold is a high-dimensional metal like the Mystical Metals used as currency in the Knights' Federation, but with one difference - Desperate Gold is a memory metal. When heated to a near-liquid state, it repairs itself in all dimensions if it is not confined with tools. It's a bit like when a soap bubble expands in a two-dimensional space, it automatically forms a thin film in the third dimension.

In other words, the Gold of Desperation can isolate the magical elements, not because of its microscopic nature, but only because it can form an isolation layer in the four-dimensional space where the magical elements are located through a certain crafting process - and because of the vector nature of the radiation field, the Gold of Desperation does not need to be completely sealed, just like the Cathedral of Light, which can open windows or doors in suitable places.

This discovery once again confirmed Donner's suspicion that Jingwei had known about the nature of the Desperate Gold for a long time, that is, it had long known that the magic element was an energy wave of extra dimensions.

Thinking of this, Donner couldn't help frowning slightly.

Now his relationship with the Holy See has become very delicate, he seems to be the master of the Holy See, but in fact he is a prisoner - the planet is his prison.

However, knowing this, Donner still had to find a way to borrow the resources of the Holy See.

Maybe move the school city to Fog City as well, he thought.

......

While the construction in the Fog City was in full swing, Coenas was also in a carnival.

According to news from the Faimon royal family, more than ten years after the death of the empress, the Emperor Auston finally made a young woman pregnant with his flesh and blood again.

And this young woman is none other than Princess Lucia's maid, Veronica.

Although Princess Lucia didn't say anything on her face, she was somewhat dissatisfied in her heart. She knew that most of the ladies in the palace had slept with her father, but she didn't expect that in the months since she left Coenas, her father would have slept Veronica too.

On the one hand, she was happy that her father had a good chance of getting an heir to the throne, but on the other hand, she felt uncomfortable at the thought of calling Veronica her mother in the future—she had already learned through some gossip that her father was going to make Veronica queen.

So, in early September, Lucia quietly left Coenas and traveled to the three northern provinces for the first time.

On the first day she stepped into the border of Santan Province, she vaguely felt that Downer was not worth it.

Compared to the wealthy and prosperous southern province of Trisla, the province of Santan is a complete backdrop - it is said that the population of the entire three northern provinces combined is less than half that of Tris.

The further north Lucia went, the stronger the feeling became, and when she saw Santan City from afar, she couldn't believe that this small city was the center of the entire province.

However, when she was told that Duke Vane was still further north, in a small town called Misttown, in the city lord's mansion of Santan City, she was aroused by a hint of interest - how could a dignified duke be based in a small town with no name?

When Lucia arrives in Mist a few days later, there's nothing unusual about the town, except for a few unique windmills that have piqued her interest.
