Goodern's first question interrupted Erin's train of thought.

After a while, she also seemed to have made up her mind, nodded and said.

"Young master, during this time, I want to take half a day off every day and go to school to learn to read and write......"

"Of course, I'll do all the work before then, and if not, I can cut my salary in half this month......"

Although Erin was ready, her tone was obviously lacking.

If it weren't for the two of them in the study, Gooden might not have been able to hear clearly.

"That's it......" Goodern suddenly realized at this moment.

Just now he thought that something had happened to Erin's family and that he had to go back to take care of it, so he wanted to learn to read and write.

"Why do you suddenly want to learn to read and write?" Goodern asked, curiously, as he picked up the cup he had put down again and took a sip.

Erin was also honest, and when Goodwin asked her, he replied, and told the cause and effect together.

"Hmm...... I heard that if you want to become a knight, reading and writing is the foundation of entry. ”

"I used to want to go to a school run by the empire to learn to read and write, but my family couldn't pay the high tuition fees, so I had to give up."

"Now that you are studying openly for free, I don't want to miss this opportunity......"

"In addition, the college also has a scholarship, I calculated that if I can get into the top ten in the weekly exam, I can get at least ten silver coins, and the salary will be halved, which is actually less."

Speaking of which, Goodern realized that he had done something 'stupid'.

No wonder so many people came to the school, and when he said he was going to make a class for free, Joseph Sr. and the literacy teacher looked at him with amazement.

At the time, he thought that it was just that everyone didn't understand his behavior, but now it seems that they have made their own behavior a charity. (The asterisk is your own guess.) ）

Retracting his thoughts as he flew away, Goodern looked at Erin.

Judging from the 'wholeheartedly' attribute of her entry, it seems that the scholarship is already a doomed thing......

After a moment of silence, Erin was ready to give up, and Goodern agreed.

"I've approved the matter of asking for leave, and the salary will be paid as usual, and you will ask the other maids if they also want to study, and if there are any of you who will study in groups."

At this point, Goodborn paused and quipped.

"I don't want to wake up all the time, everyone is studying at school and no one is waiting for me."

With Gooden's permission, Erin suddenly had a smile on her face, and hurriedly said happily.

"Thank you, young master!"

"You go and get busy, just leave these and let others collect them when the time comes."

Taking a bite of the shortbread, Gooden slurred his words.

"Mmmm, I'll retire first, young master."

Erin was in a very good mood at the moment, walking up and down, if it weren't for Goodern here, I'm afraid she would have to jump.

Looking at the slowly closing wooden door, Goodern's smiling face disappeared in the next second, revealing a thoughtful look.

This common-sense mistake and stupidity sounded a wake-up call in his heart, and some of them seemed to be nothing if they were put here with modern thinking.

But for people in this world, it's a bit 'stupid'.

With all the knowledge he has at his disposal, he can use the word modification as an excuse to get rid of suspicion by using the 'endowment' of awakened abilities.

For example, Joseph Sr. also showed a lot of the abilities that were given by the modification of the entries to reduce his suspicion.

But if he makes a mistake with common sense that is only known in some native world, then he is in danger.

He still has an excuse in Qingyuan Town, but when he becomes famous on the mainland in the future, he will attract the attention of giants and even gods.

At that time, if it was found that he was not from this world, would he be arrested for research?

Or is it to cause panic and be hostile to others?

No one knows about this kind of thing......

After afternoon tea, Gooden got up and moved briefly for a while, and then continued to devote himself to writing the outline of the follow-up development plan of Qingyuan Town.

By night, after using up the three revisions, Goodern went to bed early.

……

By the next morning, Goodern had gotten up early to get ready for the outing.

Head to the exit of the town in the direction of the manganese mine, where fifteen carriages and horses are ready.

The cart contained the supplies of the Seventy for ten days, as well as some iron tools made by the blacksmith.

After joining the convoy with the soldiers and hunters, Goodern set off on a beeline for the manganese mines.

This time to the mine, Goodern was fully prepared.

In addition to the rifle and staff, a special manganese steel inner armor was also worn on the body.

As for the craftsmanship of the armor, Gooden is now perfect.

After bringing back a batch of manganese ore this time, you will be able to officially create an exclusive set of armor and weapons for Erin.

Since not everyone was on horseback, half of them were on foot, so the pace was slow.

It wasn't until noon that the journey was about halfway through.

After a brief rest and lunch, everyone continued on their way, and under the light of the setting sun, everyone arrived at the manganese mine.

At this time, the priority was to set up a camp for accommodation, and the seventy or so people had already arranged their work at the time of departure.

After arriving at their destination, they began to work separately, digging pits and building houses, cutting trees and getting materials, and some of the housewives who accompanied them gathered around to prepare dinner.

Goodern, on the other hand, took the hunters and soldiers around the mine to inspect them.

Since orc scouts can appear nearby, it also means that there are likely to be more orc scouts hiding in this vast land.

In order to ensure the safety of the mine, Goodent brought two hunters to check the surrounding animal tracks.

As orcs, some basic habits are still retained, such as claw marks, footprints, and even excrement.

The old hunters didn't know what the lord was looking for, but they still searched the neighborhood according to the characteristics of many animals.

Until the starry night rose, no traces of it were found.

Goodern was also expected by this result, and if he could find the traces now, he might not be able to sleep well tonight.

Back at the camp, Goodern looked at the people who were still building and thought about the combat power of both sides.

One-third of the seventy men who came to the mine had served in the Imperial Army.

Seven or eight years ago, the Empire's conscription was still compulsory, with those who reached adulthood having to serve in the army for three years.

With the weakening of the foreign enemy and the stability of the continental pattern, the compulsory conscription was abolished and replaced by voluntary service and the regional supply of a certain number of soldiers.

With the foundation of joining the army, plus some basic defense arrangements, if you encounter an orc scout, you should be able to resist, right?

Shaking his head, Goodern returned his mind to night safety, and then rested after arranging the night sentry and warning trap.

……

In the middle of the night, countless stars twinkled in the sky, and insects and beasts whispered around.

Just when everything was very quiet, more than ten kilometers away, a huge flash of light suddenly exploded in the air.

Suddenly, a small sun appeared in mid-air......
