Two well-armored cavalry marched slowly along the improvised road, escorting a huge carriage. These cavalrymen were in groups of two, side by side, they were tall and stared, and the fine iron chain mail was stamped with roses. The carriage escorted by the cavalry was four meters long and two meters wide, and the green teak carriage was edged with red copper, and the red copper skin was polished with a light that could be seen, and it was also decorated with exquisite rose patterns, which looked gorgeous and heavy.

The mighty giant rhinoceros dragged the heavy carriage forward steadily, the carriage swaying slightly, and the four female probationary knights on the left and right sides of the carriage blushed with shame with a small moan. With a long, heart-stirring groan, the carriage returned to calm, and these slender female trainee knights breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled when they saw the envy and spring love in each other's eyes.

The daily life of the local nobles is relaxed and monotonous, the affairs of the territory are handled by the village head, the town mayor and officials at all levels, and the family affairs are handled by the housekeeper. Many nobles had more than one lover, but Sylvia was not among them.

The private life of the aristocracy is erosive, referring to the ordinary aristocracy, and the knightly aristocracy is just the opposite. When high-level knights communicate with the Elemental Sea, they must be firm in their beliefs, otherwise they will be destroyed. First of all, the knight's belief cannot be to chase power, there is no power that can be compared to the elemental sea, and the knight who chases power will be assimilated by the elemental sea immediately. It is not possible to rely on lust as sustenance, because it is too simple for a knight to get without stepping into the top. The vast majority of knights have the belief of guardianship, guarding the kingdom, guarding the family, and guarding the family. Therefore, the knight does not refrain from lust, but does not indulge in it.

However, for a long time, the peak knights who had been washed over their hearts by the elemental sea, in addition to their own protective beliefs, they did not have the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of ordinary people, and became indifferent and ruthless. In order to regain the joy of life and step into the realm of legends, peak knights often find a lover or two to soothe their cold hearts.

Sylvia had entered the pinnacle realm with the belief of protecting her family, and she had the same problem. However, Sylvia is an extremely rare Golden Knight of Flame. The Flame Golden Knight was known as the Divine Knight in the wizarding era, and the gods were powerful and untouchable. The Flame Golden Knight's inability to have children will also destroy the Knight's companion's elemental bits, turning them into normal people. After Sylvia reached the pinnacle, in order to help her escape the influence of the elemental sea, the old duke of the York family ordered the orphan of his eldest son that whoever married Sylvia would be the heir of the family. Eventually, Embiter Jock accepted the responsibility, and as a result, he received the title but became a common nobleman. The Duke of York, who had lost his knightly form, was full of flaws in Sylvia's eyes, and was kicked away from her distance. From then on, Sylvia found pleasure in growing roses until Victor appeared in her life.

Victor, who awakened the blood of the Moon Elves, is comparable to the Silver Knight in terms of form, which is why Sylvia is willing to get close to him. However, for Sylvia, a lover is just a dispensable concoction, and it can really make her tempted to protect the family's beliefs. Victor gave her too many surprises in this regard, purple cane wine, giant brick kilns, rock bricks, each of which made her happy, and the agricultural and animal husbandry system and water conservancy and irrigation system made her even more excited, and Sylvia, who couldn't help herself, finally sent it to the door automatically.

In the carriage, Sylvia's starry eyes were slightly closed, enjoying the afterglow of pleasure, her soft and flawless skin was glowing with charming peach, and her snow-white slender legs were on Victor's body. A moment later, when she opened her blue eyes, she saw Victor lying motionless on a takin cushion and pretending to be dead, and couldn't help but sneer, stretching out her slender hand to caress Victor's forehead. A cool air flow spread from his forehead to his whole body, and Victor only felt refreshed and tired, so he couldn't pretend anymore. Seeing that Sylvia had no further plans, Victor secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but when she raised her hand to pull a rope, Victor was shocked and hurriedly said, "Don't! I'll help you!"

This rope connected to the bell outside the carriage, and as soon as the bell rang, the female midshippers outside would come in and serve them to wash and change their clothes, and Victor would not be happy for strangers to peep into his privacy.

"I'd better do it!"

Sylvia smiled like a flower, put on a spider silk dress, and dressed Victor neatly. Victor didn't speak, he and Sylvia didn't fight once or twice, but he had never seen Sylvia so enthusiastic and flattering, Victor enjoyed all the tenderness and a little uneasy at the same time. Seeing Victor's strange expression, Sylvia understood what he meant in a flash of thought, and said angrily: "Do you think I don't even know how to put on clothes?"

Victor said curtly: "The peak knight dresses me, and I am a little uncomfortable. ”

"Didn't you feel uncomfortable when you slept with the Peak Knight?" Sylvia glanced at Victor.

Victor touched his nose and said honestly: "It's still a little uncomfortable, I'm afraid that one will be accidentally pinched to death by you." Seeing that Sylvia's willow eyebrows tended to stand up, he remedied: "But who made you so beautiful?"

"Huh. ”

Sylvia smiled and found the most comfortable angle to lean on Victor's body, whether it was true or not, Victor's love words always made her happy.

"Victor, your design of the stream reservoir is very practical, how did you come up with the idea?"

The working people of China build dams and embankments in low-lying places surrounded by mountains on three sides, intercept mountain floods, form reservoirs, water the land during drought, divert water during floods, and raise fish to generate electricity, which has many benefits. It's just that the reservoirs on the earth are often tens of meters deep, and the embankments are all poured with reinforced concrete, and Victor does not have such conditions, so he can only build small control gates, ditches two or three meters wide and small reservoirs eight to ten meters deep to achieve the purpose of storing water. This small reservoir has a very limited amount of water to irrigate up to 8,000 acres of arable land, but fortunately it is low cost and safer.

As for how he came up with it? Victor is really a little difficult to answer, the farmers in this world have not developed an advanced farming civilization for thousands of years, which seems to be a bit unbelievable, but in fact there are deep-seated reasons. Just like the indigenous people of Africa and the Native Americans, the abundant animal and plant resources allow them to fill their stomachs without taking care of the land too much, and as a result, they have not made a name for themselves for tens of thousands of years. In order to unify the six countries, the Qin State built the Zhengguo Canal and implemented standardized weapon production, with a population of three million and a million-strong army, but its area was only 300,000 square kilometers. And the human beings in this world do not have large-scale wars at all, and naturally they will not give birth to a brilliant civilization.

Victor thought for a moment and replied, "I don't think of it, but what I see and hear." ”

"What did you see and hear?" Sylvia looked at Victor in surprise, rubbed his hair, and said dissatisfiedly, "Don't sell it!"

Grabbing Sylvia's jade hand, Victor smiled and said, "What do you usually do when it rains? Arranging flowers, sleeping, enjoying the rain? I used to be so idle, but after becoming a lord, I began to inspect my territory myself, because I have no stewards and no officials. I saw many small rivers flowing into the Blackwater River from the west, and they were not there when it was not raining. I just happened to need water, and I wondered where the water came from? So I asked the people, and it happened that there were mountain people among them. They told me that when it rains, the rainwater from the mountains collects from high to low and forms a torrent that flows into a lake or river. This is how the idea of building a stream reservoir was born. ”

Then you have a bolder idea. Water is diverted from the Jinshui River into the reservoir to form a stable water system and irrigate millions of acres of farmland. But you're not going to tell me. If it weren't for Master Edwin seeing through your attempt, how long would you have been going to hide it?" Sylvia said with a raised eyebrow.

Victor really didn't plan to sell his artificial river plan directly to the Yorks, and he still had a lot of questions he didn't figure out. If you want to build a large-scale water conservancy project, the time, the place, and the people are indispensable. The geographical advantage is the Jinshui River, the mountainous area of the Centaur Hill and the Black River. People are not just manpower, material resources are so simple. In essence, artificial rivers are the product of the centralized system rather than the product of the feudal system, and even in the case of the centralized system, it is not uncommon for villages to break their heads and shed blood because of the problem of water, not to mention the lords who go their own way? The artificial river involves a series of problems such as repair, dredging, and so on, and how can more than 10 lords of large and small hills coordinate with each other? It can be said that the resulting artificial river management and coordination mechanism has shaken the foundation of the feudal system. This change in the political environment is unpredictable, Victor just wants to bury his head in developing his strength, and does not want to cause major turmoil, but if he doesn't bring the Jinshui River over at this time, there will really be no store in this village.

"I haven't thought it through. Victor said stiffly.

"I didn't think about it either!"

Sylvia leaned in front of Victor and exhaled like an orchid, her blue eyes full of smiles and appreciation. Victor realized that Sylvia had also thought of the problem posed by the artificial river, and then listened to her say, "Honey, we don't need to hurry, can we?"

"The stream reservoir is enough, and the artificial river that runs through the Centaur Hill will be released first. I can help you build the first control gate, the first artificial canal, the first reservoir. However, the artificial river in Randall's territory was built by you, and I can give you some support. But you have to promise me a few conditions. ”

"What conditions?" said Victor.

"First, you need to help Master Edwin complete the site selection of the stream reservoir and prepare for the future artificial river connection. ”

"Second, after the completion of Randall's artificial irrigation facilities, half of Randall's grain production will be sold to the York family at a price of 30% of the market price. ”

Victor thought for a moment and nodded: "There is no problem, I designed the farming and animal husbandry system and the water conservancy system to increase the strength of the centaur hills and prepare for the next ant tide." ”

Ant-Man's re-invasion of the Centaur Hills is the consensus of the human realm, and the traditional tactics of knights and castles can no longer cope with the large number of Ant-people who cannot be defeated, and the best way to face the fierce ant colony is to block them at the entrance to the swamp. However, Sylvia and Victor believe that it is possible for the colony to bypass the three fortresses and attack from the north side of the Centaur Hill, and that in order to deal with this, the Centaur Hill must have more forts, castles, and soldiers. Therefore, the Centaur Hills need more people. This is the starting point of Victor's territorial development strategy, and it is also the basis for the seamless cooperation between Sylvia and Victor. And Victor's secretive posture made Sylvia very dissatisfied.

"Third, tell me what you have in mind, or I'll get Phinice away!" Sylvia shook her white finger in front of Victor's nose.

Victor smiled bitterly and nodded, "I promise!"

"Fourth ......"

"And the fourth?!"

Victor was shocked, but Sylvia said, "I want you to keep the secrets of the farming and pastoral system, water conservancy and irrigation facilities, giant brick kilns, and rock bricks. From now on, the agro-pastoral system and hydraulic engineering were the inventions of Master Edwin, and the giant brick kiln was the invention of the Interior Minister Anthony. I know that these creations are enough to leave a deep mark on your history. But I don't want anything to happen to you, and if nothing else, the stream reservoir and the control gate alone can drive the Neville people crazy, and they will try to kidnap you, so ......"

"No problem! Victor said repeatedly.

Sylvia thought it was the most difficult one, but Victor agreed so simply, she carefully looked at Victor's face, shook her head and smiled: "You don't look like a nineteen-year-old nobleman at all, but like a full ...... Like a ...... Forget it, maybe the genius's idea is different. ”

What Sylvia was trying to say was that Victor's thoughts were very much like that of an old lord, and she felt that such a metaphor devalued herself, so she changed her mind again. Victor smiled slightly, these things were not invented by him in the first place, just get benefits, what's the use of fame?

"Tell me, what compensation do you want? How about I choose one of the female apprentice knights to be your valetto? They will be glad to do so. Sylvia laughed.

"No, no!" Victor shuddered, waving his hand repeatedly. What are you kidding, he has so many secrets on him, even Nicole has to hide it, how can he let other female knights get involved.

"You can help me convince the priest sent by the church to oversee it. ”

"My dear, your problems are not a problem for me. Sylvia said, "I have ordered the northernmost fortress to be built first, and the people of the church will pass there." As for the fort here to be built in two years, I will leave 10,000 people for Phoenix, and the kingdom will bring the stones, but will not provide food, their food will be supplied by our York family for two years, so you have two years to use these manpower. Victor showed me what you were capable of!"

"You won't be disappointed!" said Victor confidently.

"By the way, Sauron Wimbledon has sent someone to build a castle in his territory, and the territory to the north of you borders Sauron's territory, so I suggest you send someone to garrison it as soon as possible, lest the territory be invaded by them. Sylvia reminded.

"I see. ”

Victor frowned, the northernmost territory of the Centaur Hill was the one he wanted to come over, as the base of the Free Folk Merchant Group to go north, he had no time to take care of it, he didn't expect Sauron to become a neighbor of that territory, and Sauron's territory also isolated the 300 square kilometers of territory from the Centaur Hill. Now, Victor must consider sending people over to station, otherwise he will have to take the mountain road if he wants to send people over later.

Sylvia sat up straight from Victor's arms, knocked on the wall, and the convoy came to a halt.

"Victor, it's time for you to go back. I don't want you to spend the night in the wilderness. ”
