"The Prancing Horse Plain is rich in products, according to Sherman's estimates, the salt ore in the northeast is enough for the entire human empire to eat for thousands of years, the iron ore in the southwest is not only rich in iron, but also has magical black iron companion ore, and there are several geothermal lava in the Iowa Mountains in the west."

"There are several dwarven city-states in the northern part of the Iowa, I really want to find time to drink with them, the alcohol content of the Terrans is too low to be boring."

On the night of February 31st, Rand read the parchment book he had purchased from Maned Wolf City, and Rand had been busy ever since.

It was easy to survive until the end of February, and the heaviest camp relocation task was coming to an end, and now only Lanya, Pete, Kaye and the others were left, and Rand himself planned to stay a few more days, and finish Roth's boiler room with Kuryagan and Sophia, Jonny and other girls.

Just yesterday, Pete Maned Wolf finally escorted the salt to the outside of Roth Castle, and a new group of caravans to the royal capital will soon depart, and the caravan Rand will also go north, focusing entirely on the construction of Night Qicheng.

After a day or two, Rand was finally able to read a book in the evening to see how the ancients of a thousand years ago viewed their future territory.

"To the west of the Prancing Horse Plain is the Hindukr Valley, the assembly site of the Orc Race's previous attacks on the Terrans, a land that the Human Empire has never conquered."

"To the Terrans, the stronger the individual, the taller the height; For orcs, the more they resemble animals, the stronger they are, and if you see an oversized animal in an orc tribe, it must be the leader of the tribe. ”

Regarding the several battles between the human empire and the orcs, Rand also heard Albert say one after another, The strongest beast god of the orcs is completely the appearance of a small beast god, and if he doesn't open his mouth, he can't tell that he is an intelligent life.

"The big animals are not easy to deal with, and after carrying the will of the Warcraft God, they can fight against the demigods."

Although the core of this book is all paper, but the thin one does not have a total of 100 pages, it didn't take long to turn to the end, and Rand also used his fighting spirit to activate the magic pattern on the cover, but it had no effect, and the miserable and mysterious Rand no longer paid attention to it, put the book on the table and turned off the lighting rune board to sleep, leaving only the parchment book that continued to glow in the moonlight.

。。。。。。

On February 32nd, when the sun rises to the sky, it is time for Rand's henchmen to prepare to leave, Pete Mane Wolf and Ranya Maned Wolf will be stationed in Night Qicheng City, and most of the carpenters, leathermen, grooms, tailors and other craftsmen in the original mine need to stay in Night Qicheng City, and can only be managed by Lanya Maned Wolf first;

The mid-level knight, Knight Nedland Wilson, will follow Rand back to Nightqi; Alf Fate stayed in Roth City, and stationed 3 low-level knights and 10 trainee knights and 10 barbarian cavalry in the city, this lineup can already be compared with the strength of Roth's original territory. Lune Egret and Kenan Doyles will be responsible for the industrial area and the salt mine camp in Nightqi, respectively.

"Pay attention to safety on the road, don't be in a hurry, one day is too tired, two days will arrive." Rand saw off his subordinates and specifically instructed Lannia and Pete that instead of following a large number of people to the north, these two men would quickly try to reach Yeqi City within a day, and the four post stations along the way would provide them with replacement horses.

"Most of the subjects will arrive in these two days, we have to hurry" Because of the problem of the reception capacity of the post station, all the migrating subjects are in a team of 400-500 people, traveling 40 kilometers a day, Lanniya has always insisted on sending off the last group of people, quickly arrived at Yeqi City, and checked the situation of each team along the way.

Pete just arrived in Roth yesterday, and today he is going to hurry back to the night qi sleeping cellar, naturally a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to show it in front of Rand.

"Lord Rand, can you hug me?" Kaye ran over to ask Rand, "You hugged Wendy and Lily before they left. ”

The centaur girl Kaye went north with most of the magic goblins, and the monster horse Black Rabbit, who fell in love with the wall, also followed Kaye.

"Of course" Rand spread his arms, Kaye was taller than Rand, and needed to bend his front legs to get a hug with him.

"My lord, hurry up and come here~" The girl said playfully in Rant's ear, and then the black pony ran north together, and the two four-legged ones also wanted to compete with each other from time to time.

In the morning, he sent away his henchmen, and in the afternoon he had to send a caravan.

Aubert Gallop and Mace Frostwolf set out again with the caravan, the salt team had only arrived yesterday, and the two river vessels had just received them, and had just loaded their cargo in the morning.

The caravan had to deliver the armor and horses in Maned Wolf City, and the Count and the others were already looking forward to it, and then they had to buy some goods in Maned Wolf City, and after joining the caravan led by the Wild Bear, they would follow the Maned Wolf Count's team east to the royal capital.

On the afternoon of the 33rd, outside the main fort of Roth Castle, a new bungalow was built, which was the first steam engine room in the Rand Domain, and Kuryagan, together with Jonny, Sophia and other girls, tested the power hammer of the blacksmith shop, the pulping pool for the paper mill, and the turntable of the mill with steam.

"My lord, that's what you mean by steam power?" Watching the power hammer hammer hammer up and down under the action of the connecting rod, Kuryakan finally understood what Rand said about mechanization.

"Yes, we can't do everything with the hands of the demon bearers or the non-demon owners." Rand looked at the steam coming out of the boiler and thought that he was about to take a hot bath, and he was very happy.

All the steam pipes used in the boiler were purchased from the imperial capital, and the waste equipment and materials of the entire 5 space rings required the herald to continuously pass the rings from the royal capital to Roth.

"We still have time, take advantage of these few days, produce a few more sets of boilers, and install them directly in Yeqi City" Looking at the constantly running steam engine, Sophia is full of confidence" Maybe in the future, in our workshop, there will be no need for people to do these pounding and stirring work, only need to operate the machine. ”

"Maybe, but with power, it is not mechanized, and the entire production process needs to be split into the simplest processes, and the effect that needs to be achieved in each process is determined, that is, standardization."

"Standardization?" Sophia savored Rand's words.

"It's okay, in the future, the workshop can recruit some demonless craftsmen and let them study these, and you can develop those more complex equipment that must draw runes or magic circles." The girls' magic workshop and the newly built steam boiler give Rand endless imagination, and he believes that his future territory will be as prosperous as his hometown.

。。。

As his subordinates left, and even the tents moved with them, Rand himself was idle, and continued to dig through a thousand years of books when he had nothing to do.

Every time he flipped through it, Rand always felt that there was something wrong with the book, but Rand himself couldn't say it, until the night before leaving, under the light of the white moon, Rand felt a certain sense of strangeness on the cover of the book.

After gently cutting open one of the edges of the cover with the blade of his knife, Rand found a translucent piece of paper in between, a map of the Plains of the Galloping Horse.

Under the white moon, there are three vague traces in the east, west, and central and southern parts of the plain on the map, and the words "earth", "iron mine", "salt mine" and other hometown words are displayed together.

"Salt and iron ore have leylines?" Rand thought for a while, it seems that the magic furnace in the salt mine is to provide the energy in the leylines, so there should also be a magic furnace on the iron mine, "Here in the middle, is it Night Qi City?" ”
