146. Go to Night Kirk City
"You're going to let her do these things?" Just as Rand was admiring the road construction, Ben Kaul came over and asked.
"Isn't it normal for the rock and soil fairies to solidify the pavement?"
"Who told you about the goblins, I was asking you to let a magical genius like Wendy just watch the goblins work?"
"I'm going to let her learn more arithmetic" Although Rand didn't believe that Wendy and Lili could actually read math books, he looked forward to the two of them for self-study exactly the same as he had expected for his vacation study plan during the summer vacation.
Wendy's road construction work was much slower than her usual journey, her speed was about 40 kilometers in 3 days, and it also took a day to level the land for each camp, so according to the plan, Wendy should finish the road construction work and arrive at the ruins of Night Kir City around February 10th.
From the 21st to the 33rd of January, after more than ten days of preparation, Vecchier and Briner finally handed over a statistical table of the population in the territory for the rand, which included several issues that the rand was most concerned about, such as the number of children, the number of potential people, and the number of various talents.
In fact, Rand has done this kind of statistics several times before, and he did the most complete one before taking the salt mine, and after taking the salt mine, Lannia also counted it, but after that, he annexed all the way to large and small tribes, and the total number was slightly more than before.
Rand also knew that this time the matter was not very complicated, and he only hoped to set an example for the two young butlers and let them follow today's procedure in the future.
Compared with the situation of the demons-free counted by the young butlers, Rand pays more attention to the situation of the demons-bearers counted by Ben Kaul and Rohr, and the two of them have brought a lot of good news, there are two knight apprentices in the knights who break through to be called junior knights, and the children who Rand was more optimistic about before, as well as the original several demon-free priest apprentices of the Eagle Tribe, originally thought that there was a high probability of stimulating the bloodline.
。。 Everyone has their own preparations, and Rand is the same, he has to insist on playing with the intermediate knights in the morning, and today is Kenan Doyles, Kenan was a swordsman at a noble school in the east before he wandered, and his swordsmanship blended the styles of the two major factions of the empire, and he was the best swordsmanship master in the entire territory.
All the mid-level knights, after fighting Kennan, admired his swordsmanship. Since the beginning of the year, Rand has been training with Kenan every morning, and in Kennan's words, Rand has been much worse from basic skills to swordsmanship.
As a former sword teacher, Kenan habitually gave guidance when he was studying with others, and his mouth was as chattering as Dugan's.
"My lord, to tell you the truth, with your foundation and perseverance, you will never be able to reach the average level of a high-ranking knight in the interior of the empire in 5 years" Kenan commented on Rand's swordsmanship foundation very pertinently, so much so that even Rand's swordsmanship teacher Rohr did not dare to refute it.
"Look at what you said," Rand walked around, keeping an eye on Kenan's blade,
"On my basis, it would be good to be able to reach it in 10 years," said Rand to launch a surprise attack, hoping to be caught off guard.
"Your Excellency, you're not convinced" Kenan dodged easily, his sword was lighter than Dugan's, and his steps were quite nimble,
"I know that my lord you have fought against a high-ranking knight, it only means that you can deal with it when you have enough fighting energy, it does not mean that you can win against the sword." Although Rand was a little unconvinced when he heard this, he thought that he couldn't hold the sword when he fought against Dugan, and it was not easy to refute it.
After all, Kennan's swordsmanship master was only at the level of his intermediate knight, and it was still a lot worse than the sword blade of the senior knight Dugan.
On a few occasions, when Rand was facing the sword, he was even able to sense Kenan's sword edge less than 1 second in advance, so that he could effectively dodge and counterattack casually.
But Kenan's swordsmanship was not practiced in vain, and it was often Rand who predicted Kenan's first attack, dodged it, and his brain didn't keep up when he counterattacked, and Kenan seized the opportunity to successfully stab him.
The brilliance of the sword between the two attracted many junior knights and intermediate knights to watch the battle, and Rohr saw it most clearly, and Rand was able to predict that he unconsciously released his fighting spirit, so that his sense of touch could extend to the periphery, which in itself was a skill that only high-level knights could release.
Only by becoming a high-ranking knight can Rand inherit the position of Earl Archon of Night Kirk City through blood connections, and the revival of the family can be regarded as the real beginning.
"See? Rand's high-ranking knight probably didn't run away," Rohr found the greyhound who was watching the two of them fight swords together.
"See, our territory is really being taken care of by His Majesty."
"Who asked you about this, why don't you hurry up and take someone to fish, there is not enough demonic beast meat, even if Rand can reach the advanced level, it will grow very slowly."
"But now it's winter, where am I going to fish? Besides, even if you make up for it, how to raise it? Where does the feed come from? "For gray dogs, hunting is not difficult, breeding is difficult, and he doesn't think he can do anything that Rand can't do.
"What did you let me do that Rand didn't do?" the greyhound muttered.
"Rand can't do it because Rand wants to supply hundreds of demon supporters in the entire territory, if it can be done, let alone our territory, the royal capital and the imperial capital have to be found," Luo Er said angrily,
"What I asked you to do is to ensure the supply of the rand, are you still helpless?"
"Oh. . . Well? "The words of Rohr, the Greyhound's extremely fast thinker, have finally found the key... On January 34, 997, Rand set out again with Ben Kaul, Pete Maned Wolf, Kenan Doyle, and Ben Kaul, as well as the other Demon Champion Girls and Centaur Girl Kaiyin, as well as a squadron of 100 men and 300 lords of the Galloping Horse Order, and carried a large number of cattle, grain, and timber purchased from the Galloping Horse Collar to the north to the ruins of Night Kir City.
The main lords of the rand and the eight sub-tribes waited until the weather was warmer. With Wendy's pavement, the Rand team can travel a lot faster, and while carrying a large amount of supplies, they can still travel 40-50 kilometers a day, far exceeding the speed when they went south not long ago.
On February 3, Rand and the knights of the Order met Wendy and the others who had just finished leveling the land at the third post camp north of Roth.
Seeing Wendy, Lili, and the Magic Elf, Rand finally doesn't have to worry.
"My lord, we're all about to freeze into popsicles, can you leave your carriage to us, so we can have a place to keep warm." When Lili saw Rand, she complained to him. Wendy just smiled at her best friend and didn't say anything
"Isn't it the magic goblins who have been working on it? You guys just run errands with people" Rand was very happy, so he joked with the two girls,
"Have you finished your math books? When you get to Night Qicheng City, I'll give you exam questions. ”
"Ah, my lord, you're really here~" Lili made a bitter face,
"We can't just work and look at math," said Lili, pulling Rand to the newly leveled land.
"This piece of land is not just smashed and solidified, the two of us have to leave a place for drawing the circle in the future and calculate the space."
"Then you should know the importance of learning mathematics well, don't you have to rely on function calculations?"
"It's possible to calculate every time, it's an empirical formula, just put the numbers on it."
"Then you can't be ignorant of why, you have to know how the empirical formula came about, and how to improve the situation in the future." As he spoke, Rand suddenly remembered the teachings he had taught himself when his mentor had taught him, and his head had grown big when he thought about it.
Looking at the expressions of the two girls in front of him who were about to cry with joy about their teaching, Rand couldn't help but point to the carriage
"In my carriage there are recently made smoked fish, all of which are swordfish caught by gray dogs, so you can eat more when you have time."
