When Colin returned to the castle, it was already late at night, and when he came to the study, he saw his senior sister busy at the desk.

There are indeed too many things to do in the fortress, especially the establishment of Akibara Castle, all kinds of materials need to be transported, plus food and iron tools to support Dadamir, etc., all of which do not require the lord's chief assistant to be busy. In addition, the construction of houses, roads, alchemy workshops, mines, plantations, shops, schools, etc., are developing rapidly in all aspects.

Colin sometimes thinks that his lord is more like a technical director, and there are not many things that need to be handled by him personally, especially now that he has a senior sister.

It is said that the senior sister likes to lie down so much, and she is forced to be busy until late at night every day, and Colin is somewhat guilty.

He didn't bother his sister, but secretly ran to the kitchen.

Under his oral command, the kitchen finally made steamed buns and steamed buns, and most of the ordinary plants in this world have similar characteristics to the earth, and wheat is no different.

Colin is sometimes very strange, the same wheat flour, steaming and baking are not difficult to think, but some civilizations have developed steamed buns, while some civilizations are bread, in addition to the environment, I am afraid it is due to inertial thinking.

Senior sister still doesn't like steamed buns as much as white bread, but she has a soft spot for steamed buns, especially vegetarian buns stuffed with wild mustard greens in the Longji Mountains, which have a slightly bitter taste, but after getting used to it, it does have a peculiar fragrance.

For this reason, Colin rarely exercised the privilege of the lord and asked Sophia to open up a piece of land in the plantation for the cultivation of this mustard greens, which was specially supplied to the castle and allowed the senior sister to eat openly.

He warmed up two buns and ran all the way to the study.

"Senior sister, have a supper."

"It's too late to eat well......"

"Mustard buns."

"That's one."

"I still like meat." Colin gulped down his own meat buns.

"That's right." Tessa continued to look down at the file as she gracefully munched on the bun and said, "Mr. Wald has been looking for you several times, and each time you happen to be absent. ”

……

……

The next morning, Colin arrived at the alchemy workshop.

Wald's face of excitement led him to a near-closed room.

In the center of the room is a strange-looking mechanical device.

It is about the same size as a single bed as a whole, similar in height to a table, with a metal box at one end that occupies nearly half of the volume, a metal cylinder sticking out from one side of the box, the head is sharply shining, and the countertop is dotted with various metal fittings, some fixed and some movable, and the other side is a much smaller movable rectangular box, and the inner side is also a cylindrical fixing.

A glowing gemstone is mounted on the side with a bracket that illuminates the entire mechanical countertop.

Machine tool.

Industrial machine tools, machines that make machines.

Colin is actually not very familiar with this thing, the only contact in his previous life was a metalworking internship in middle school, and he saw it in someone's factory, and finally completed a very ugly hammer.

Even in the primitive blacksmith shops, there were tools that rotated the iron disc with a foot pedal to cut or polish it, and it is said that Gilman also had a machine that used water to drive it, called a water flow machine.

But compared to the magic powered equipment in front of you, those are not machine tools in the modern sense.

"My lord, according to the plan we discussed last time, the magic laboratory and the alchemy workshop have worked together to build this 'magic energy machine tool'." Wald bowed slightly, but his expression was quite proud.

Next to the machine, there are several people standing.

In addition to several magical apprentices involved in the design and construction of machine tools, there are Matthew and Raff.

As one of the first veterans of the alchemy workshop, Raff was often tasked with testing new equipment because of his experience and skill.

He was the first to use the forging machine, and now the machine tool.

When he was called today, it was Walder who asked him to operate the latest machine in front of the lord.

But Wald also forgot one thing......

Raff had seen Colin from a distance before, a blacksmith who had been a serf, and after confirming that the one in front of him was the lord, he knelt on the ground without saying a word: "Lord Lord! ”

Not only was Colin taken aback, but even the others were stunned.

Needless to say, Wald had known Colin before he became Lord Shaya; Although Matthew was born as an orphan, he has been with Colin for more than three years since the manor outside Thunder City, and now he is the main person in charge of the construction team, and has participated in the highest meetings of the fortress many times; The rest of the magic apprentices followed Walder and often met the lord.

No one could have imagined that Raff would suddenly fall to his knees.

However, it is normal etiquette for ordinary lords to see the lord, although the people present are all administrators, but in fact there is no official appointment of the lord, even Sophia's "Minister of Agriculture" is just Colin casually said, in principle, they still belong to the category of "ordinary lords", and there is no difference from Raff.

After being stunned by Raff's actions, the others had to follow suit, Matthew was already halfway to his knees, and even Wald was bent down.

Seeing this, Colin sighed slightly.

Then with a slight wave of his sleeve, everyone could not continue to kneel, even Raff involuntarily stood up.

Only Walder was an official magician present, and he knew very well that although the wind spell just now seemed to be an understatement, it was actually very difficult, not only did the strength have to be controlled, but also ordinary people like Raff could not be allowed to stagger, which was much more difficult than blowing people out of a mile directly, and required extremely high spell skills.

Colin had a lot of thoughts in an instant.

For example, his lord is indeed very incompetent.

Look at the lord of the people's traverser, the first thing he did when he came to power was to personally issue a decree of freedom to the serfs, read them out one by one, and show mercy in a high-profile manner.

Look at yourself again, I have been in the fortress for nearly three years, and I have done a lot of things to improve people's livelihood, but I have not even officially appeared once. Even a few occasions for festive celebrations are presided over by senior sisters or Jennifer and others. Many of the lords of Winterfell still don't know what the lord looks like.

In addition, the personnel appointment should also be clarified as soon as possible, and it cannot be managed as chaotically as before, at least Wald and others must give them a formal position, otherwise in this case, they can really only kneel.

In terms of etiquette, a uniform rule should also be formulated, and this kind of kneeling on your knees at every turn should no longer appear on the people of Xiaya.

Colin has thought a lot about this moment, but this is not the occasion to say this.
